OBITUARY.

A weary path I've travelled, mid dark
ness, storm and strife,
Bearing many burden, struggling for
my life;
But now the morn is breaking, the toll
will soon be DER,
I'm kneeling at the threshold, my hand is
on the door.
The friends who started with me have
entered long ago,
One by one they left me struggling with
the foe.
Their pilgrimage was shorter, their tri-
umphs sooner won,
How lovingly they'll hail me when all
my toll is done.
1t is sunshine in the valley, a calm I'M
clouded noon,
The golden gates are open that shall en-
ter soon,
And through the unclouded portals what
. visions bright see,
Of victor's palm and cOronet in heaven
awaiting me.
IT'S but narrow streamlet, and now l
seem to hear
A sound Of heavenly music borne sweetly
to my ear;
The strains come floating downward that
fill the courts above,
Where angel harps are tuning to sing re-
deeming love.
soon shall join the chorus that swells
forever more,
In harmony resounding along the heav-
emily shore;
For now approaching nearer an angel
convoy comes,
To bear my ransomed spirit to its eternal
home.
Blest Jesus to Thy presence how joyfully
flee;
Farewell to sin and sorrow, henceforth 1
rest in thee;
No more a weary pilgrim upon life's
thorny road,
I'm waiting for the summons that calls
me home TO God.
Weakness and doubts leaving, presently
shall soar
To light and life and glory with Christ
foreverEiore;
There shall wait your coming, beloved
wife so true,
Never forget my children, I'm waiting
there for you.
Contentment's smile was on his face,
His brow was calm in peace;
He now has left Us for that land,
Where al our troubles cease.
The above lines were written after
leaving the death.bed of my GRANDPA
Rusler. After he bade them farewell
he sweetly fell asleep to wake no more
on earth.

OBITUARY.

In memory of KATIE L. LINK,
daughter of Mr.. Daniel Link.
Little Katie now is sleeping
In her little narrow bed;
Driving wind and pelting tempest
Cannot reach her little head.
Fiercest storms may rage above her,
Sunshine gathers, flowers bloom;
Winter waue and spring time hover,
All above sweet Katies tomb.
Nothing now can ever harm her,
In her little grave so low;
For her waxen hands are folded,
And her dewy eyes are closed.
Twas in vain they tried to keep her,
Loving sisters did plead her stay,
But the angels softly whispered,
Darling Katie come away.
Now she's with her loving Saviour,
In that land of perfect rest.
She has left world of sorrow,
And is numbered with the best.
Then fond mother cease your weeping
Loving father dry your tears.
Katie is not dead but sleeping,
Till her Saviours voice she hears
Sweetly sleep my precious daughter,
Holy angels guard thy bed;
Gently rest in Jesus, darling,
Till he calls thee from the dead.
BY A FRIEND.

tS FoRClNG A BALANcE.-Tfe Sen
ate committee to investigate the treas
ury accounts, Of which Senator Davis,
of West Virginia, is chairman, is prose
cutting its work with great system and
elaboration.
The committee has a room in the
Treasury Department, and has secured
the services of several experienced ac-
countants. The work before it is one
of extreme labor, and it is not unlikely
that the committee will not be able to
complete it by the end Of the present
session. Enough has been discovered
already, however, to show that the
charges made on the floor of the Senate
as to gross irregularities in the treasury
bookkeeping has been more than sus-
tanned. In one of his speeches Mr.. Da-
Wis made the statement that 10 1870
there had been a forced balance of over
e2oO,OOO,O0o. This statement has been
most abundantly verified, and it is fur
Their discovered that this immense false
entry wac made by written instructions
of Mr.. Boutwell,, WHO was at the time
Secretary Of the Treasury, aud who at
forwards, when Senator, denied from
his seat with great vehemence the ex-
istence of any Irregularities in the treas
ury accounts. 1t is understood that this
letter of Mr.. Boutwell, is in possession
of high officer in the treasury, and the
committee will of course call for it be-
fore their investigation is concluded.

There is trouble in California III re-
gard to the Chinese. The local author
tiles of San Francisco and the military
power Of the United States have been
called into requisition to prevent
threatened outbreak and the shedding
of blood. This certainly is deplora-
bic state of affairs, and speedy steps
ehould be taken to remedy the evils COM
planned of. II is an admitted fact, we
believe, that the Chinese have been the
principal factors in the great depression
in labor which now aflicts that State,
aud which is more severely felt there
than 10 any other part OF the Union.
These representatives of the Mongolian
race are not desirable addition 10 any
country, we should think, but more es-
pecially are they Objectionable to Amer
leans and 70 the various other peoples
doniciled among US. They bring with
them to this country habits and above
ell vices which are justly repuguant to
a civilized and Christian people. They
have TO sympathy with any other race /;
they are clannish TO remarkable de-
gree; they recognize no law save that
which they set up among themselves,
and police surveillance must be perpet-
ually kept over them to compel them to
perform the commonest duties of citi-
zenship, and to prevent them from ma
king public exhibition of vices which
cannot be named in public print. OF
course, bad as all this appears to be,and
probably is, in fact, it is no reason why
these people should be set upon by
mobs and ruthlessly and mercilessly
maltreated and murdered. They came
here, So far as they knew, in good faith
and according to treaty stipulations, and
they should be protected until they are
able to return 10 their native country,
which they ought to be compelled to
do, and which will possibly be the end
Of the present agitation. The main
cause of the tremendous influx Of this
uuwelcome class to our shores Hes in
the fact that the steamship lines be-
tween the United States aud China find
4 profit ir carving them This they
should not be permitted to do They
receive large subsidy from the gov
ernment, and it should be stipulated in
all future appropriations that no more
Chinese should be brought to this coun-
try. There is no doubt Of the fact that
they depreeiate the wages paid to labor,
and any class, bat more especially a
heather race, that does that should not
be encouraged to make this country their
home. Pauper wages means pauper
population, and pauper population no
one desires to see who really has the
interests of his race and his country at
heart. 1t is to be hoped that Congress
will soon adopt measures that Will re-
move all apprehensions Of trouble on
the Pacific coast on this score, but in
order TO be effective it must not be for
gotten that they must be decisive.
