affordlng, as it does, the only means for ad-
JustIng errors, and thus protecting the honest
taxpayer. Its repeal they could only regard
as a retrograde step which must inevitably be
attended with evils fthe greatest magnitude.
Irregularities in the local assessments, vary
ing with the intelligence and moral sense of
every assessor in the State, might at once be
anticipated. All that is required by our cit
liens in the various districts of this Common
wealth. is to be satisfied that they are paying
but their fair and equal share of the general
taxation. This board, in the conclusion of
their labors, desire to record the qualification
with which they have learned, from all parts
OF the State, that the burdens rendered ne
cessary to preserve inviolate the honor of the
Commonwealth, are cheerfully borne That
such will be the case until they can be ma
terlally lessened, or entirely removed, we cam
not doubt; and that the people of this State
may always, as now, be proud to bear the
name of citizens of Pennsylvania.

ASAFE BET.-Several gentlemen were riding
in a car on one of the Boston railroads few
days ago, when the conversation turned on
the next Presidential election, and the merit:
and prospect of Webster, Fillmore, Scott, Cass
and others, were discussed at large. After
some time, a solemn individual who had
Listened in silence, addressed the party thus:
MY friends you are all of you wrong
Before the election of 1852, the world will
have come to an end, and Jesus Christ will
be the President of the Universe!'
Up started an enthusiastic gentleman from
the Granite State who stutteringly said to
the Millerite-
S-sir I'll b-b-bet you ten d-d-ollars New
Hampshire w-w-wont g-g-go for him.
A roar of laughter greeted the exit of the
Second Advent man as be removed himself to
another car.

Natural Religion.

We have been not little amused with the
following definition of the religion of nature,
furnished by the Yankee Blade. 1t comes re.
markably near the truth:
L. Look out for number one.
2 Use others all you can, and let them
use you as little as possible.
3. Get money; honestly, if you can, but
get money.
a. Hold on to what you have got, and get
as much more as you can.
s. Every one for himself, and the ID tax
the hidDost.
Here you have the whole thing in nut
she'll There is no need of mixing whole reams
Of paper with explanations of the subject, for
here you have the exact doctrine in which
the world believes and which is practised
upon by vast majority. Of people in every ma
ton on the globe.

A Partisan pen proposes the follwing
English event for history:
AT the recent races at Ascot, the ia
nous horse Tiberius broke his leg by
bounding against one of the posts of the
barrier, while preparing for the race
His owner, Lord Millbank, lost ten thou
sand pounds in bets upon him, besides
his value, and others heavily-the law of
the course being that all lost bets shall
be paid, whether the failure to win come
from accident or less speed
Three days afterwards, Lord Millbank
gave a very sumptuous dinner. The
most distinguished of the English Peerage
were present, and the conviviality ran
high. Towards the close, the noble host
rose in his place, and proposed to drink
to the departed Tiberius 1t was clam
orously received, but the speaker remain
ed standing, with his glass in his hand
awe drink to Tiberius," said Lord
Millbank, when the shouts subsidized, ''the
most beautiful, the most admirable, the
most spirited eourser whose hoofs evertrod
British turf"
Shouts again rose to the roof
"1ou know continued his Lordship,
"the achievements Of this horse. His
deeds belong to history. Fame has ia.
ken charge of his glory But it belongs
to me-and to you, my Lords and gem
tlemen-to do honor to his mortal re-
mainsl ] wished that this lofty courser
should have burial worthy of his deser-
wings. He has it. My cook has itly pre-
pared him, and you have feasted on him
to-day. Yes, my lords and gentlemen!
this meat which you have relished so
keenly-those dishes which awakened
such inquiry as to what animal could be
so delicious-it was Tiberius. The no.
bic courser reposes in your stomachs =
May your digestions be light !"
At these words, the enthusiasm con-
centratred for moment-possibly with
some vague thought of an immediate res
urreetion-but, with sudden burst of
hurrahs, the idea took the turn of sub
Unity, and another glowing bumper was
sent to join the departed in his metempsy-
Ghosts.

MY BOyhood's Homo.

By E. II. WALTON.
Bring back my boyhood's golden hours
From the treasury of the past
oh, linger nigh! life's first Spring flowers
That faded fore the blast;
The rocky cliff, the hill and glen,
The joy and laughter free;
] would were a, boy again
Oh, bring them back to me.
Bring back my early childhood's home
The altar and the hearth,
The song of praise-devotion's tone
The lov'd that fed from earth;
The days that fitted by so fast,
-Life's streamlet to its sea
Which lie deep buried in the Past :
Oh, bring them back TO me.
In Fancy's realms, wander still
By my boyhood's cherish'd home,
And gather fow'rs by brook or rill
And over woodlands roam.
Oh, linger nigh! though visions dim
81 And shadows faint We be-
Tho filled life's chalice TO the brin,
Yet bring them back to me.

Getting Married.

Some of those old writer's were curious
fellows, and had strange ideas of matri-
mony, not at all attractive to us old
bachelors. 1t is told by Sir John Moore,
the father of the famous Sir Thomas,
that he used to compare getting married,
to man thrusting his hand into bag
which contained twenty snakes and one
eel: it was twenty to one he did not catch
the eel. We strongly suspect, from this
definition of matrimony, that Sir John
at least must have caught snake. A
bout hundred years after, Thomas
Basted, Esq, fellow of New Collge, Ok
ford, penned the following epigram on
his three wives:
Though marriage by some is reconed curse.
Three wives did marry, for BETTER or worse.
The first for her person-the next for herpurse
The third for warming pan, doctress, g. nurse.
The New York atlas some time since
related the story of a clergyman whose
first wife was very rich, his second very
beautiful, and the third, whom he marri-
ed in his old age to nurse him and be
his housekeeper, proved to be Xantippe
in her disposition and temper. He OBJ
served to one of his friends that be had
three wives, the world, the flesh, and
the devil. Cato, the ancient philosopher,
who certainly is good authority. has wise
ly said "that he preferred the character of
good husband to that of great Sena-
tor. - Georgian.

Getting over "A Difficulty.

A couniryman once brought piece Of board
to an artist with request that he would
paint upon it, St. Christopher, as large as life.
But returned the artist, that board is much
too small ior that purpose The countryman
looked perPlexed at this unpected discovery.
That's bad job said he, but lookye, sir, ye
can let his legs hang down over the edge of
the board

EccESTRIcITY.-The Providence Post tells
the following story
There is on the farm of Mr.. Paris Math-
ewson, in Johnston, a male Turkey, who has
the present season, set upon 2l eggs, and
hatched le of them--having driven his better
half from the nest, and taken upon himself
all the cares Of domestic life. and spurned all
interference from the gentler sex This isn't
all When his turkeyship got his own brood
out OF the shell he found that some ofthe wo-
men folks in the old fock had also been at
work. and that there were. in all, 81 Young
turkeys to be taken care Of All these he
has taken care Of and now is sort Of Lord
Mayor Of the whole tribe and knocks down
al the old ladies that come into his presence.
de Is queer fellow, and good one into the
bargain"
