ury has made an important decision that all goods
coming here from Mexico must be put in the ware
house, unless provision is made for their immedi-
ate forwarding Heretofore there has been much
trouble arising from the practice of shippers send
ing their consignments forward without making
provision for duties or forwarding charges until
the goods have arrived. This has detained cars in
the yards and made trouble for the railroad COM
panies. The secretary of the treasury first made
an order that parties might warehouse their goods
under modified entry but they did not choose to do

put the goods in the warehouse Immediately on

DREAMS.

dream Of days now long forever fled
A time when life was earnest, real and
true
Before the hope of happiness was dead;
Before life's sorrows filled my heart anew
With feeting fancies--wishesn never gained
Though oft they seemed close to my eager
grasp;
Ambition lured to heights 1 ne'er attained,
To friends whose hands always failed to
clasp
I often dream of days that now are here;
OF hopes that urge me on my toilsome way
OF stars that shine. my wayward course to
cheer,
Up to the realms Of longed-for famed day.
The more strive the farther Off it seems
This goal for. which vainly dream and
hope
The sun obscured-to me it hides its beams
While 1 in doubt my rayless pathway
grope.
Then have dreams of life not yet begun,
Hidden away in years-long years-to be,
On wheels of life-where golden threads are
spun;
When toll is done-the weary spirit free.
This dream is one fain would realize;
To prove that life is not quite all in vain,
But if it reaches far beyond the skies
Before death comes--oh, let me dream
again.
Clint L. Luce, in the Current.
