PREsCTENCE.

The new moon hung in the sky, the sun was lew in
the west,
And my betrothed and l in the churchyard paused
TO rest
Happy maiden and lover, dreaming the old dream
over;
The light winds wandered by, and robins chirped
from the nest.
And 10 in the meadow-sweet was the grave oil a
little child,
With crumbling stone at the feet and the ivy run
ming Wild
Tangled ivy and clover folding it over and over;
Close to my saeetheart's feet was the little mounu
uppiled.
Stricken with nameless fears, she shrank and chung
And her eyes were filed with tears for sorrow
did not see.
Lightly the winds were blowing, softly her tears
were flowing
Tears for the unknown years and a sorrow that was

The New York commissioners OF en-
igration estimates that this years
arrivals OF persons who will become
permanent settlers in the United States
will be between 100000 and $4,000.
Up to last Tuesday, the arrivals at
Castle Garden since January LIST, were
nearly $1,000, an increase OF more than
$1,000 over the same period OF last year.
IL q common estimate that an immi-
grant is worth at least 81 COO to an a2ri-
cultural community, and this does not
include the money and property he
brings with him nor the value OF his
wife and children. Ii is reported that
a German banking house in New York
last week exchanged for immigrants
over 100000 in cash, and this was for
the passengers by only thrSe steamers.
This source Of wealth TO the country
has hardly been appreciated, and there
is evidence that the recent tide Of immi-
grafton from Central Europe greatly
augments the amount, as many OF the
better classes bring from $500 10 s, 900,
and are ready at once to purchase and
work small farms OF their own.

gRApY.s STAR HouTus.

There appears to be great deal OF su-
perhuous surprise and mystery about
the removal of BRADY from the postal
department, when readers remember
that only a few months ago the news
papers OF the country we're full oil testi-
mony respecting his corrupt conduct In
connection with his letting OF the star
mail contracts. The only wonder Is
that he has been able to suppress the
connection which the facts then oeca-
stoned. Some new disclosures have
beeu made under JAMES, but enough
WAS known long ago to Justify ana re-
ouire his summary removal.
II the Postoffice Department and the
Administration are willing that the
whole matter shall be brought to light,
there will be some interesting disclos-
ures which will make so high officials
squirm equal to that which was occa-
stoned by the details OF the operations
of the Whisky Ring which was made
under Secretary BRIsTow.
From the details already given the
public, chiefly by the correspondent oil
the New York Herald, it appears that
BRADY has sought TO cover himself from
attack by keeping copies of all the rec
concentrations for increased service and
increased pay on star routes made by
congressman and other officials, and
this, perhaps, furnishes the explanation
of cow he has been 80 successful in
keeping the matter quiet heretofore.
There are others interested in covering
it up.
1t is alleged that HAYES and his Post.
master General absolutely refused to
take the least notice OF the proved ir.
resularities OF the star route business.
They threw the whole inquiry upon
Congress, knowing as they must have
known that large number OF Congress
men we're only too esger to have no in
yestigation.
The reckless way in which the star
route contracts were increased, Is shown
in an official return, from which the fol-
lowing figures are taken. One route
contracted originally for in round mum.
beers 5000 was increased to Sl50,OOO-
an increase OF Sl44,000 per annum on a
IS 900 contract. Another was increased
from slS4,OO0 to 100000; another from
81 600 TO $4,000; another from $4,000
to Sl36,O0O; another from $3.50 to SS2,-
900; another from 5000 to $4,000;
another from SI5, 600 to S92, 900; another
from $4,000 TO 100000 and so on to
the end OF long chapter. 1t
must be remembered that Congress had
ven for the star route service $500
100, which was the whole sum asked
for in the estimates, but at the next
