CUSTOM SERVICES.

What 1T Costs to Collect Duties--Ihe Points
Where it Don't Pay.
The customs bureau has prepared tables
showing the receipts and expenditures of
every custom house, which Senator Beck will
incorporate in his speech on the finances.
The latest previous exhibit was made four
years ago by Mr.. Dawes, and then attracted
much attention. The present table shows
that the number of custom houses is 1882.
Of this number, there are 1868, the receipts
from which during the last fiscal year, have
not equaled by nearly 100000 the expendi-
lures of maintaining them. The following
are non-paying customs districts, the sums
following each showing the excess of expen-
1itnres over receints in each district.

Some like busy citys market place.
And countlt ss forms and faces come and 60.
Into my life unn umbered steps have trod,
Thoue b brief that life an nearing now its close
At fra The forms of phan ntasies and dreams.
And then the varied tread of friends aud foes.
Coming and go;ng-ah there lay the parg,
That when M heart has blossomed and unlock &c
Its wealth to greet the loved familiar step,
Lo it was gone, and only echoes Knocked
Ny listening ear. But. oh there came ona step,
So soft and slow, which said 1 pass not BY
But stay with Thea forever. if thou wilt
Amid this constant instability"
Then in Bis eyes the love oraved-
Love pact my craving-love that died for me-
Ee took my hand, and in its gentle strength
learnt the joy Of leaning utterly.
He taught my heart to trust Him fearlessly
