A CHARACTER.

From the Pittsburg Bulletin.
He sowed and hoped for reaping-
A happy man, and wise;
The clouds-they did his weeping,
The wind-it sighed his signs.
He made what Fortune brought him
The limit of desire;
Thanked God for shade in summer days,
In winter time, for fire.
When tempest as with vengeful rod,
His earthly mission cleft
On the blank sod, he still thanked God
Life ard the land were left
Content, his earthly race he ran,
And died-so people say
Some ten years later than the man
Who worried his life away.

for an increase of fhe navy. While the
pre- sent facilities are ample. for peaceful
times, emergencies are liable TO arse at
any time. hence his reasons for advo-
eating more vessels and men. Our naval
power, he says, has more than doubled
within the last few years.
The departman. thsrsfore recommends

the coming congress be one battleship
for the Fac.ic coast, where, afser the
five now undsr construction are COM
pleted, there will be only two, while en-
the At,ar'tic there will be seven; and
also TO a few torpedo boats and torpedo

paiative1y of httle cost, and more of
which are desirable in order to bring
this swift mobile, and handily effective

The expense of maintaining the navy
