will exert a similar influence upon the subordinate
councils. The system will be thorough, and con-
sequently the desired results win be but legitimate
effects. Nor In this mere theory, INFESTED and
untried We call attention to the following paper,

There was On old lady who lived over the sea,
And she was an Island Queen,
Her daughter lived OF In new countrie,
With an ocean Of water between.
The old ady's pockets were full of gold,
But never coniented was she;
So she called on her daughter TO pay her q tax,
OF" thrippcnce pound for her tea"
"Now, mother, dear mother" the daughter replied
81 shan't do the thing that you AK
I'm willing 10 pay fair price for the tea,
But never the ihrip-penny tax"
"You shall" quoth the mother and Redeemed WIN

"For you're my own daughter you see;
And sure Ills quite proper the daughter should pay
Her mother tax on her tea t
And 40 the old lady her servants called up,
And packed off a budget Of tea;
And eager for thrp-pence pound, she put in
Enough for large famile.
She ordered her servants to bring home the tax,
Declaring her child should obey;
Or old as she was and almost woman grown,
Shed half whip her life away.
The ten was conveyed TO the daughters door,
All down by the ocean side;
And the bouncing girl poured ont every pound
In the dark and boiling tide.
And then she called out 10 the Island Queen,

"Your tea you may have, when It's stepped enough,
But never tax from me,
