his cflice, whose duty would be some- thing analogous to that of the inspector of a bank. He would have a right

to enter every depart ment of the ser- vice when he chose, and investigate the con duct of the employes and officia's, scrutinize the management of the finances of the depart- ment. as well as the way in which its work was done; in fact, to look shoroughly from time to time inte the mode in which the busi- ness of every department is conducted, aad the mode in which the clerks and employes of depariment are doing their duty, and report upon those subjects accordingly, ‘Lhe object which

WE ATTAIN by these methods is this: We hope to arvive at a better system, at a more complete system by which the affairs of the country will be managed in a business-like way, and if we carry out what we further contemplate we hope to obtain the service of a person of standing, who wi!l have the confidence of the public, who will make it hia business and duty from time to time to supervise the opera- tions and working of every department of the service; and by these means we shall hope to prevent in future a recurresice of the unfortu- nate circumstances that have developed them- selves during the present session.

TO THE OCEAN.

Over the gleam of the waters, Out of the golden haze

Thrilleth the cords of inemory With touch of other days.

Once more by thy rim, oh ocean ! A youthful, happy band,

We course along the yellow sands At home, in fair Scotland.

Once more we lave our childish fest Amid thy shining waves ;

Or shelter from the sudden gust Withia thy border caves.

Ho, voices of the summer seas ! Ho, voices sweet and low!

Ye mournful chant their requiem Those days of long ago.

He sailed upon thy whitened crest, The choicest of cur band ;

Thy foaming billows wail his dirge On far Pacific strand.

That other sleeps, we know not where, Who early braved thy tice ;

Sing wavelets! we shall meet at length

_Upon that other side.

Yes, mighty ocean! all thy storms Shail lall to perfect peace ;

And all thy weary monotones With music sad shall cease.

So now we stand upon thy brink, Whilst ’yond thy surging foam,

We list loved voices calling us To our eternal home.
