The payment Of $50. 000. 900 on &C.
count Of the Panama canal. and q loan
Of more than four and a half millions
to the st. Louis exhibition, caused q
deficit Of more than Sal. 600, 900 in the
treasury operations of the year ended
June 20, the Youths Companion
states. That is not a bad showing.
But for the extraordinary expenditures
mentioned there would have been q
surplus Of Is IA millions. which is al
most enough. A few millions more
would have been acceptable for the re-
duction Of the debt. but inasmuch as
the interest Of that debt amounts to
only &c cents a year for each Of the
inhabitants of the country, it imposes
no burden that need cause any states

And chill blasts of winter that blow

For even the darkest OF clouds will

But look for the lining of silvery hue

The beautiful sheen of the blue.
Press onward with hope though the

And burdens are heavy and pathway

For sooner or later will come the glad

When burdens and shadows will van

And sure as the seasons when toiling
