inefficient in the performance thereof; second,
that he has, to the detriment and pecuniary loss
of the government, favored Austin +. Brown in
his orders and contracts: third, that he has
violated the laws regulating the duties and re-

responsibilities and duties, a gross neglect of his
duties. and Indifference and inefficiency in the
performance of them. The Secretary Of the

The rose leaf duttered gently down the stream;

Into the shadows, then again to shine
In brightest radiance on the river Rhine.

Be thou sunbeam, friend Of mine.
Where'er thou goest on the earth,
And through its darkness ever shine
Like one whose mission is divine;
Makes homes Of sadness homes of mirth.
How many hearts are desolate!
How many souls o'ershadowed are
Where weary ones are doomed to wait
The coming through the far-off gate
sunbeam on the morning air.
Go. thou. with smile of light and beam
Of love-enkindled eye and heart.
Where mls'ry, want and sorrow seem
To wealth and ease an idle dream
sunbeam be where'er thou art.
