SLEEP.
BY ANDREW B. sAsToH.

The weary portals of the sight we close;
And in the bark of Somntis, sails unfurled,
In snowy wreaths of cloud, our souls are hurled
At mercy vi each 6tful breeze that blows.
Then from the depths that preseience never know,
We through q varied hood Of dreams are Vhirl d ,
And wake 70 find the life stream that has cUrled
For ages round our planet. changeless flows.
And so, when drowsy death shall seal our eyes,
And from lamenting friends pass away,
1t may be that, awakipg, we shall rise
Refreshed aud STRENGTHENED for a longer stay
And find the same old earth, the same blie SKIES
That we but lost in sluinber yesterGaY .,

hearing to Jesse Wilson on behalf OF the bill
known as the Rand bill to establish a new gas
company in the District. Arguments for The
establishment of the Citizens GaSlight com
pany were also heard. Those who urged the
formation of the new companies claimed that

orbitant charges for their gas. The engineer
OF ne washington company, who was present
in the committee room, said that if Congress
thought the price too high it could reduce it.
as the rate now charged was fixed by Congress
