THE ISLANDS.
'Tii far beneath the ocean wave
Those grand old mountains rise,
That rear their tall and giant peaks
Toward the bright blue skies.
And where their loft peaks reach forth
Above the billow's crest,
They foim the glittering islands
That gem old ocean's breast.
And they are gems most beautiful,
In the broad, deep ocean placed ;
The brilliants in the mighty ring
That has the earth embraced. ,
"Sent by Express."
Minnie Harlan was alone in tbe world
Ler mother just burie.1.
She was a beautiful brown baired girl, with
soft, shy eyes of violet gray, and rosy lips
compressed to a firmness far beyond her
years. For after all she was scarcely seven
teen, and so Deacon Gray was telling her, as
t sat by the fire spreading his huge hands
over the tardy blaze, and asked :
"Bat what are you goin' to do to frn your
Iretd and butter, child ?' '
"I don't know I havenU thought mam
ma had an uncle in New York, who-' '
"Yes, yes, I've heerin tell about him he
was mad 'cause your mother didn't marry
just to suit him, wasn't he?"
Minnie was silent. Deacon Gray waited
a few minutes, hoping she would admit him
into her secret meditations ; but she did not,
and the Deacon went away home, to tell his
wife that "that Harlan gal was the queerest
creature he had ever come across."
Iu the meanwhile Minnie, was packing her
few scanty things into a little carpct-bag,by
the weird flickering light of the dying wood
fire.
"I will go to New York," she said to her
self, setting her small pearly teeth firmly to
gether. "My mother s uncle shallhear my
cause pleaded through my own lips. Oh, I
wish my heart would not throb so wildly ! I
am no longer meek Minnie Harlan ; I am
an orphan all alone in the world, who must
light life'sbf ttles with my own single hands ! ' '
Iiower Broadway at 7 o'clock, P. M.
V hat a babel of crushing wheels, hurrying
humanity, and conglomerate noise it was ;
Minnie Harlan sat in. the .corner of an ex
press office, under the flare of gaslights,
surrounded by boxes, and wondering wheth
er the people ever went crazed in this per
petual din and tumult Her dress was very
plain gray poplin, with a shabby little old
lashioned straw bonnet tied with black rib
bons, and a blue veil, while her article of
baggage, the carpet bag, lay in her lap.
She had sat there for two hours, and was
very, very tired.
"Poor little thing," thought the dark
haired young clerk nearest her, who inhab
ited a sort of wire cage under a circlet of gas
lights. And then picked up a pen and
plunged iuto a perfect Atlantic ocean of ac
counts. "Mr. Evans?"
"Sir!" . .
The dark haired clerk emerged from his
cace with his pen behind his ear, in obedi
ence to the beckoning finger of his superior.
"I have noticed that young woman sit
ting there for some time how came she
here?"
''Expressed on, from Millington, Iowa
arrived this afternoon."
As though Minnie Harlan were a box or
parcel.
:'Whofor?"
"Consigned to Walter Harrington. Esq."
"And why hasn't she been called for?"
"I sent up to Harrington's address to no
tify him some time ago ; I expect aa answer
every moment."
" ery odd," said the grey headed gentle
man, taking up a newspaper.
"Yes, sir, rather." : '
Some three quarters of an hour after
wards Frank Evans came to the pale girl's
i Je, with an indescribable pity in his hazel
eye. '
"X'iss Harlan, we have sent to Mr. Har
rington's residence "
Miinie looked up with a feverish red up
on her cheek, and her hands clasped tightly
on the faded carpet bag.
"And we regret to inform you tht he
sailed for Europe at twelve o'clock this day."
A sudden blur came over Minnie's eyes
she trembled like a leaf. In all her calcula
tions, she made no allowance for an exigen
cy hke this.
"Can we do anything further for you ?"
questioned the young clerk politely. -
""Nothing noone can do anything now!"
Frank Evans had been turning away, but
something in the piteous tone of her voice
appealed to every manly instinct within him.
."Shall I send you to any other of your
friends f ,
- I'm03 no friends." . " " ' V " ' . '
Perhaps I can have your things sent to
wne quiet family hotel?"
Minnie opened her little leather purse
and showed him two ten cent pieces, with a
8me that was almost a tear. 7,
This is all the money I- have in the
world, sir!" . - . .. -
So young, so beautiful, and so desolate?
rrank Evans had been a New Yorker all his
hie, but he had never met with an exactly
parallel case to this. He bit the end of his
pen in dire perplexity. , '
'lJut what are you going to do ?"
I don't know, sir,. Isn't there a work
house, or some such place I could go to till
A could find something to do?" - .
"Hardly." Frank ' Evans could hardly
help smiling at Minnie's simplicity. .
"They are putting out the. lights and pre
paring to close the office," said Minnie start
Hi to her feet. -,. "I must go somewhere. "
. 'Miss Harlan," said Frank quietly, "my
home is a very poor one I am only a five
hundred dollar clerk but l am sure my
mother will receive you under her roof for
day or two, if you can trust me." '
"Trust you?" Minnie looked at him
through her violet eyes obscured in tears.
"Oh, sir, I would be so thankful!"'
"How late you are, Frank ! Here give
me your overcoat it is all powdered with
snow, and "
But Frank interrupted his bustling, cherry-cheeked
mother, as she stood on tip-toe
to take off his outer wrappings.
"Hush, mother, there is a young lady
down stairs."
"A young lady, Frank?"
"Yes, mother; expressed on from Iowa
to old Harrington, the rich merchant. He
sailed for Europe this morning, and she is
entirely alone. Mother, she looks like poor
Blanche, and I knew you wouldn't refuse
her a corner here until she could find some
thing to do."
Mrs. Evans went to the door and called
cheerily out:
"Come up stairs, my dear you're wel
come as the flowers of May ! Frank, you
did quite right ; you always do."
The days and weeks passed on, and still
Minnie Harlan remained an inmate of Mrs.
Evan's humble dwelling.
"It seems just as though she had taken
our dead Blanche's place."
"Now Minnie you are not in earnest a
bout leaving us to-mwrrow ?"
"I must, dear Mrs. Evans. Only think
I have been here two months to-morrow ;
and the situation as governess is very ad
vantageous." "Very well, I shall tell Frank how very
obstinate you are."
"Dearest Mrs. Evans, please don't!
please keep my secret."
"What -secret is it that is to be so reli
giously kept?" asked Mr. Frank Evans,
cooly walking into the discussion, with his
dark hair to.-sed about by the wind, and his
hazel brown eyes sparkling archly.
"Secret !" repeated Mrs. Evans energet
ically wiping her dim spectacle glasses.
"Why Minnie is determined to leave us to
morrow. "
"Minniel"
"I must, Frank ; I have no right further
to tre.sspa.ss on your kindness."
"No right, Eh? Minnie, do you know
that the hou.se has been a different house
since you came into it ? Do you suppose we
want to lose our little unnbeatn '" --- .
Minnie smileiL sadly, but her. hand felt
very cold and passive in Frank's warm grasp.
"You'll stay, Minnie?"
"No," she shook her head determinedly.
"Then you must b( made to stay," said
Frank. "I've missed something of great
value lately, and I hereby arrest you on sus
picion of the the theft."
"Missed something!" Minnie rose, turn
ed red and white.- "Oh, Frank, you never
can suspect me !"-
"But I do suspect you. In fact, I am
quite sure the article is in your possession."
"The article!" :
"My heart, Miss Minnie! Now look
here; I love you, Minnie Harlan, and I will
be a good and true husband to you. Stay
and be my little wifel"
So Minnie Hirlan, instead of going out
as a governess, aco irding to programme,
nianied the dark haired clert in Eliion's
Express Office. - . ' .
They were very quietly married, early in
the morning, and l rank took Minnie home
to his mother, and then he went calmly
about his busii ess in the wire cage, under
the circlet of gas-lights,
. "Evans!"
"Yes,-sir." . . '
Frank, with his pen behind his ear as of
yore, quietly obeyed the behest of the gray
headed official.
"Do you remember the young woman
who was expressed on from Millington, two
months since?"
"Yes. sir I remember her." ; .
A tall silver haired gentleman here inter
posed with easer quickness: .
"Where is the? I am her uncle, Walter
Harrineton. I have iust returned from
Paris where the news of her arrival reached r
me ! I want her ; she is the only living
relative left me !"
"Ah ! but, sir," said Frank, "you can't
have her. :
"C-ii t have her? What do you mean?
Has anything happened ?" . -
"Yes, sir, something has happened ; Miss
Harlan was married to me this morning."
. Walter Harrington started.
"Take me to her," said he hoarsely.' ''1
can't be parted from my only relative for a
mere whim." f
"I wonder if he calls the marriage service
and wedding ring mere whims," thought
honest Frank. But he obeyed in silence.,
. "Minnie," said the old man, in faltering
accents, "you will come to me and be the
daughter of my old age ? I am rich, Min
nie, and you are all that I have in the world.
But Minnie stole her arm through her
husband's arm. ' '. '
"Dearest uncle, he was kind to me when
I was most desolate and alone. I cannot
leave my husband, uncle Walter, I love
him !". -
"Then you must both come and be my
children," said the old man, . doggedly.
"And you must come now, for the great
house is as lonely as a tomb." ;
Frank Evans is no longer an express
clerk, and pretty Minnie moves in velvet
and diamonds ; but they are quite as happy
as they were in the old days, and that is
saying enough. Uncle Walter Harrington
grows older and feebler every day, and his
two children are the sunshine of his declin
ing life. . . . j .. '-' : - ' ; . .
The corn crop of the United States for
the present year is estimated at the enor

is stated that in the last 25 years the annual
increase of the corn crop averaged four per
cent. ...... . . . .

Eeport of Secretary of Treasury.
The Secretary of the Treasury declares
the national debt to be anything but a bles
sing, but while satisfied that it should be
paid by the generation which created it,
does not see the way to continue its liquida
tion by surplus income faster than' six or
seven millions per month prior to June, 1SGS.
He is of opinion that the honor of the Gov
ernment requires an early withdrawal of the
legal-teuder notes, leaving the National
Banks to supply the currency of the coun
try. He urges the system of redemption
by the banks at the Atlantic cities or at one
city, New York. He acknowledges the
financial wants of the South so far as cur
rency is concerned, but is of opinion that
their needs should be supplied by curtailing
the issues of the Northern banks. He ad
vocates a reduction of the currency, and
such a revision of the tariff as will give
new vigor to productive industry throughout
the Union, lie urges the issue of bonds
at 4 J or 5 per cent interest, payable princi
pal in Europe, to be exchanged for United
States bonds now held in Europe, as well as
to supply the future demand for Federal
stocks in Europe. Upon the question of
contraction of the currency his language is
very clear; indeed, without contraction he
is confident that wide-spread disaster must
be experienced. In regard to resumption
he is of opinion that it can take place by
July,' 1363, and' may be brought about
earlier.
The estimates of the Treasury for the
last three quarters of the fiscal year to J unc
30. 1S(')7. are as follows : Receipts $316,-
500,000, Expenses $237,160,143,. Surplus
$79,330,857; and for the year ending Juie
30, 18G8: Receipts $436,000,000, Expenses
$350,247,641, Surplus $S5,752,35S.
The decrease in the public debt from the
highest point is stated by the Secretary as
follows :
Debt August, 1865 $2,757,S03,GSG
Debt Oct. 31, 1SG6 2,551,424.121
Decrease . $206,379,565
The Secretary has small comfort for free
traders, and says :
"The long-hoped-for period when there
shall be no legal obstructions to a free ex
change of commodities between the United
States and other countries is still far iu the
future. Duties upon imports are not only
neCeSsary-for revenue, but also tor the pro
tection of those home iuterests upon which
heavy internal taxes are to be assessed."
: In presenting his views, he
"Does not mean to assert that the adopt
ion of ail these measures (although he re
gards each as important) is absolutely ne
cessary to a.return to specie payments, nor
that other remedies may not be adoptetl by
Congress to rescue the country from im
pending financial troubles. He presents, as
he founders it to be his duty to do, his own
vi ;ws, and asks that they may receive care
ful consideration, and be adopted if they
commend themselves to the wisdom of Con
gress, and rejected if measures better cal
culated to secure the desired end can be de
vised. The most sanguine and hopeful per
ceive that the business of the couutry can
not for a much longer time be run upon tne
present high level with safety. The specu
lative interest, large and powerful in itself,
is receiving daily new accessions of strength
by the increase of individual credits ; and
when speculators and debtors . control the
financial policy of the country, a financial
collapse is inevitable."
The Secretary has placed himself square
ly on the record in favor of contraction and
specie payments, and really a.sfe no iteic
potcers to enable him to fund the sluji t debt,
and resume by July, 1SG8.
It remains to be seeu whether Congress
differs with him to the end of repealing ex
kti.m laws, under which the Secretary will
nroceed toward resumption. Unless repc
j .- , - - - . . , -
a
is to be the order of the day, people cannot
be too careful abput getting in debt.
Internal Eevenue Eeport.
The figures of the Report of the Ctm
missioner'of Internal Revenue present the
strongest possible proof of the ability of the
country to sustain and pay its present debt
The total amount raised from this source of
taxation is $310,900,984 17, an amount, the
Commissioner informs us, withiu twenty
two millions of the. total revenue of the
British Kmnire. and far in excess of the
amount raised from similar taxes in that
couutry. This is an increase over the pro
ceeds of the last official year of nearly nine
ty millions. An analysis of this amount
presents no less cause of rejoicing. 1 he tax
on Iron . and Steel, notwithstanding its re
duction, has produced $13,728,133 36, an
increase of four and a half millions over last
year. Petroleum pays $5,317,396, an in
crease of nearly two and a quarter millions ;
tobacco and cigars nearly sixteen millions,
an increase of over four millions; while
spirits, notwithstanding the evasions of the
law, of which the Commissioner complains
and almost despairs, unless a sejf-register-ingstill
be invented, produce $29,198,578 15.
an increase of over thirteen millions ; and
the three months that have elapsed since the
close of the fiscal year show a more than
corresponding increase in the tax arising
from this article. A yet more remarkable
increase is seen in the growth of the returns
of income tax, from $20,567,350 25 to
$60,894,135 85, and though a portion of
these returns arises in each year from the
incomes of previous years, the continued
progress of this item from .eleven to twenty
thence to sixty millions cannot fail to-be
taken as a mark of continued prosperity.
The Commissioner among his fecominenda-
tions at the conclusion of the ltepoit, su0
gests the increase of the amount exempted
from this tax to $1,000. ; . -1 ' "
Other sources from which this great sum
is derived as the Banks and Insurance Com
panies, paying over nine millions; the Rail
roads giving nearlv three and a half millions
on capital and mortgage dividends : fifteen
millions from stamps, eighteen millions from
licenses, overifive millions from lermented
liquors, while cotton clothing, legacies,
leather, pianos, patent mediciues, and a host
of minor articles swell the list. The cost of
collecting this revenue has been something
over seven millions, being less than two-and-one-half
per cent on the total amount col
lected. The Commissioner recommends but few
changes, though some are important The
chief are the change of the return day for
the annual list (Schedule C, licenses and in
comes) to the beginning of the year, are
vision of the system under which cigars are
taxed, some modifications of the Stamp act
and of the relations of the office to the District-
At torneys. Most, important is, "to
reduce the number of taxable articles."
The receipts for the coming year, the
Commissioner, after a careful consideration
of the facts before hi in, believes will reach
two hundred and eighty-five millions, a fig
ure more likely to be under than over the
truth. He says, in concluson, that "the
immense revenue of the last fiscal year was
raised with probably less pressure upon the
people than that of smaller amounts in pre
vious years. Their enterprise and spirit of
aecuuiumlation have prevented the depres
sion of business which ordinarily attends
heavy taxation. Their means for the ulti
mate extinction of the national debt are
rapidly multiplying from the increase rf
population and the constant development
of new sources' of wealth. The reduction
of taxes will stimulate production, and in a
lew years the national debt will cease to be
an object of anxiety, or even ai.noyance, to
a great and united people."

Eeport cf the Postmaster-General.
The revenues were $11,386,986 21 ; ex
penditures, $15,352,079 30; the decrease,
compared with last year, is 1 1-5 per cent,
increase of expenditures, 12 per cent.
Number of stamps issued, 347.734,325;
stamped envelopes, 30,3x6,200. The sales
of these iu excess of last year is $360,765.
The increased demand for envelopes with
printed cards is 66j per cent. There are 6,
OG9 contiactors ; mail routes, 0,930; miles,
71,837,914; cost, $7,630,474; by rail, 32,092
n:iles: steamboats. 14.346 miles.

The amount of postage with foreign coun
tries is $2,289,219 30, an increase of over
400.000. Arrangements are nearly perfect
ed with Great Britain to reduce the postage
from 24 to 12 cents, and to admit matter of
every kind, including samples of goods; al
so the right to transmit, in closed bags or
in ordinary mails, to other countries, with
the rates of those countries. .
The Pacific Mail Steamship Company
has a contract for mail service from San
Francisco to China and Japan once a month
via Sandwich Islands, but it is thought a
great loss of time that in returning they
should not come direct. ' .
There is free delivery in forty-six .cities.
It grows in favor, it increases letters, saves
time, trouble and dead letters. '
The number of dead letters was about 4,
5(H), 000; GOO,(HM) were unbailable for want
of stamps or address; they contained $244,:
5S9 99, of which $221,060 19 were deliver
ed. Over 67,000 contained photographs,
jewelry, &c; 42,080 were delivered. Two
millions and a half of dead letters have
been destroyed.
The money orders issued were 243,609;
value, $3,977,259 28 ; the average of each
was $16 32. Some change is reequired in
the law. '
It is recommended that the clerks in the
Department have additional pay. and clerks
in post-offices do not generally get enough.
The letter carriers, iu particular, earn more,
and the Government can afford to. pay
more. -
The past season has been for Colorado a
very favorable one. Crops are abundant ;
the aggregate yield of grain and vegetables
being full three times as great as in any for
mer year since the settlement of the territo
ry. In consequence provisions are cheap
and abundant. Mines have produced more
gold the present year than for two or three
preceding, and next summer will double up
on the past. - ' '
The Georgia planters, in their memorial
to the Legislature for efficient legislation to
induce immigration, say that by far the lar
