Oh, no--not ev'n when first we loved,
Vert thou so dear as now thou art
Thy beauty then my senses moved,
but now thy virtues bind my heart.
What was but passions sign before,
Has since been turned to rcas on's vow +;
And, though then might love thee more,
Trust me, love thee batter now.
Although my heart, in earlier youth,
Might kindle with more wild desire
Believe me, it has gained in truth,
Much more than 1t has lost in lire.
The flame now warns my inmost core,
That then but sparkled DER my brow;
And though / seemed to love thee more,
Yet, oh, love thee better now.

Economy Of T'emperance.-"A penny saved is
penny earned" is maxim oil The most frequent
occurrence. Few, however, who quote 1t seem
to suspect that, although so far rs it goes, it ex-
presses truth, yet it is inr from expressing the
whole truth This we shall endeavor TO illustrate.
II the object Of men were only 20 supply them
selves and their dependents with bare subsistence
the maxim might be considered as, perhaps, rench-
ing the whole truth. But suppose the object of
n to be, in addition, that ch we call thrift !
that is, in effect the wishes to somethlng
out of his earnings, and lay it by for a capal--a
possession. Thrift depends not so much upon
what CONES into II mans hands upon what is
retained there. One that spends as fast as he earns
makes no progress towards possession. Now, in
the case of men OF ordinary means,-as, for II
strong instance, that of the day lahorer large
part of the earnings must, Of necessity be parted
WITH to support the iaborer and his family, or 9th
er dependents Out Of the dollar day, ninety
cents we will say, is necessary tor The expenses OF
life; the remaining ten can he laid aside aud kept.
To save ten cents, therefore, requires n dollar s
worth of labor II economy is used respecting
this small daily nnoun one finds himself able in
single year, 10 purchase acre or two, or three
of land, or some other valuable possession but,
il the small sum Us daily wasted, all that eau be
said OF the laborer and his family must be that
they have lived but they have made no progress
towards comfortable independence.
"A penny saved is ten pence enrned that
should be the maxim when we talk of thrift. The
common maxim goes but little way towards ex-
planning the reason Of that vast difference which
we observe between those families which cast OF
habits Of needless indulgence and those which
have some among them who throw away small
sum daily al The bottle. But, O !! says the maj.
who swallows his ten cents at Il taste or two, that
is n trifle one hours work tomorrow will
make it good. You mistake, neighbour all tomor-
row must be spent to make it good. And may

From the Macon (GeOrgiaJ Messenger.

The VeiO. John Tyler has done what neither
Of his predecessors would have dared TO attempt,
and what would have cost an English monarch
his head, and French king his throne. He has
iuterposed for third time the veto potCer, and
obstructed the Legislation Of the Representatives
OF the People, upon question peculiarly their
own that OF revenue. By the provisions of The
compromise act passed in 1888, duties on Imports
after the Both of June 1912, were 10 fall TO 20
per cent al Uaiorea, to be reckoned on home
valuation, and he regulations of this home val
untion were 10 be prescribed by iaiO. Either from
hllatoriness on The part OF Congress- or the pre-
occupancy of their time by other matters, no such
law has been passed. In order 10 meet the emer-
gency bill has passed both Houses of Congress
extending the provisions of the old act one month,
until some permanent measure of revenue should
have been matnred and adopted and this solemn
ac of both Houses, the President, on the mere
ground OF erpediency, has forbidden to become
Il law.
No scruples of conscience or doubts of cons-
tu,ional construction prevent the President from
signing the bill the veto of the bill is placed on
expedlency merely; but because John Tyler
thinks thai it is ineXpeJen that The ~ stem of
distribution should be persisted by the majority
OF both Houses of Congress, the national honor is
to be sunk sill deeper in the slough of degrade
lion, and our national credit is reduced To the dis
astrous condition of perhaps irredeemabIe bank
ruptcy.

American Produce.

We would call attention to the following re-
marks of the \. Y, American We dare say our
farmers will By and by understand what tho pro-
lection of American Labor means.
The Parliament Of Canada is occupying itself
with having duties on American produce import
ed INTO that Colony.
II appears hv a letter from Lord Stanley, pub
lished IN the Canadian papers, that the regula
ton Of tho duty Wheat imported into the pro-
vince from the United States, is left wholly TO
the Provincial Parliament
IN consequence resolutions have passed that
body for imposing duty OF IS. sterling per quar-
ter on whoa, fro;n the United States, and those
resolutions viii doubtless receive the form Of a
law.
The objects of this duty arc
ls. Measurably to protect Canadian sgrieul>
ture from the competition Of America IN wheat;
hut, as the duly is no, SO high to diminish ma.
terlay the importation.
2dy. To give to the Canadian millers the ad.
vantage Of grinding this wheat, and 10 the ship
pers that of sending it Canadian flour to Great
Britain. whirh is admi,ted at duty almost nomi-
nal, while flour from the United States pays q
heavy duty; and
;sdy. To raise revenue from this duty for The
benefit Of the Province 10 be expended in public
works, public buildings, or other objects OF gcncr-
al utility.
The Kingston Chronicle on this head Gays:
'Supposng the importation from the u. States
to be about million of bushels, this offer will
add TO the Provincial revenue about f37O.OO
sterling. If il shall only amount to GOO 900 it
will no doubt be applied TO public woTks-to tho
erection oil public buildings, in which, AZ con.
trasled with those Of every great town in the U.
States, this Province is greatly deficient; and,
Is to be hoped TO the erection Of schools.
'.ro some extent, the duty will be tax on tho
inhabitants Of the Province, namely, upon
much of the wheat imported as is consumed hero.
IL the duty was merely on whea:, treating it a.
Canadian wheat when exported, it would amount
to tho duty levied on Canadian wheat in Engaod,
but the amount will be much moro, and as tho
wheat will be manufactured into flour Tor expor.
tation, the Province will have tho profit Of tho
manufacture. This is the fret time that tho I'm
perial Government has given up to a colony tho
duties II thinks proper TO impose in England on
colonial imports for the regulation Of its own
trade.
II is not TO be doubted that in the general re-
view which at tho next subsequent session OF
Oo..s 10 rnado of tho state o. trade
with the British North American and West India
Colonies, some measures will be devised 10 coun-
ieract the diversion from its natural channel Of
this portion OF the produce of New York and tho
Western States, and to couniervai the inequality
between the duties levied upon American Wheat
and flour sent from Canada to England, and those
sent from our ports.

Ii an exclusive met.iic currency were deSira'
blc, it utterly impracticabo to obtain II at the

ue will not circulate together; the one OF lesser
value will drive out the one OF greater; hence,
paper drives specie out Of circulation and causes

ply the vacuum, and II would flow IN upon Us like
streams from every side, "the paper would expel

ten millions of hard money would disappear and
we should have circulation furnished by banks
over which we have no control; Of whose solven

Cheerfuiness in Il Wife.

Charles Dickens, whose writings contain much
TO admire, and show keen perception Of human
character, remarks upon this subject as follows:
"a woman may be Of great assistance 10 hcr
husband. IN business, by wearing cheerful smile
continually on her countenance. A mans per-
plexties and gloomness increased a hundred
fold when his better half moves about wiih n con.
tinual scowl upon her brow. A pleasant, cheer
tul wife, Is a rainbow set in the sky, when her
husbands md is tossed with storms and tetDpests;
but 1issa sized and fratf..I ~ the honr In
trouble, is like one Of lhose fcnds Who delight OF
torture lost spirits"

guage equally forcible but not altogether poe;i.
CAL He says:
