JOB WORK
The Proposed Modification Of the tariff,

The Washington correspondent of The Bal.
timore Sun thus writes TO that journal:
"The proposed modification Of the tariff
meets with hearty approval everywhere. That
provision of il which makes raw materials free
of duty.s approved both by the, free-trade men
and the frienCs of protection. The cotton
manufacture is we'll established in this coun-
try because the manu- facturers have access 10
free, raw material, the produce OF our South
ern States. But it is different thing as 10
wool.
"The increase Of the wool ploduct does not
keep pace with the increased population and
consumption Gf the Uniled States. We i'm
port, under heavy duty, three .fourlhs OF the
wool consumed by our manufactures. At
present the duty is so onerous that the wooden
factories are practically extinct, and the do
nestle wool is in no demand. The foreign
wool is esstntia for mixture with the domes-
tic wool in many fabrics. The interests of
The wool growers of Pennsylvania, Vermont,
Ohio and other States are identified with those
the wooen manufacturers.
'"The class of articles paying 100 per cent.
Iduty,such as braudies, &c. will under the new
project, pay 80 per cent. The next class,
which embraces most of the articles Of foreign
growth or manu- Iactuyes, will pay either 80 or
25 per cent, as may yet be determined after
| due consideration OF the effect Of the change
upon the revenue. As Senator James remark
ed, in his speech explanatory Of this bill, 'the
idea ola protective tariff is obsolete This
measure is, on the contrary, adjusted SO as TO
meet the wants of the revenue, and relieve
domestic industry from heavy burdens"

THE MINISTER AND THE DEVIL.

The Rev. Mr.. Blank, Of the Episcopal
Church after la5orng in an ancient and very
respectable town in Louisiana long enough to
have planted a vineyard and eaten the fruit
thereof, became discouraged ahd very Justly
disguised with the people. He determined to
leave them, and in his farewell sermon lie
thus un5urdened his heart and conscience.
'And now, if there is any man in this con-
gregation that can prove he ever paid me
dollar, it shall be refunded to him on the spot.
He then gave out hymn 10 be sung, COM
mencing with these lines.
"Lord! what wretched land is this,
That yields US no supply"
And having thus shaken off the dust of his
feet for testimony against them, he gathered
his robes about him and retired.
"Served them rightP said the world.
But 'h rd times among the clergy are not
confined 10 the profession in this country. A
London minister, no more fastidious than our
brother in Louisiana, lately astonished his
congregation by informing them that he had a
persona interview with the Devil, which hap
pened on this wise:
4 was sitting, said he in my study, when |
heard knock, and the door opened, and who
should walk in but-the Devil!
How dye you do!' said he.
Pretty WE'LL thank you, said |.
what are you about? said he: preparing
your sermon for next Sunday?'
'Ah! said he, dare say you think you are
doing great deal of good"
well, said, not so much as could wish
but little good, hope.'
you have very large congregation, said
he.'
We'll, pretty largs,' said.
'And dare say he remarked, you are quite
proud of them.'
mo, said |, that am not, for not one third
Of them pay for their sitting.
You don't say sov said The Devil, in great
surprise.
yes, thatI do, Ireplied; not one-third ol
them pay penny for their sitting.
'WelI snid the Devil, then | say.they are a
shabby lotP
The congregation took the hint so very ex-
'plicilly given, and marked increase was OBJ
setvable in the receipts into the treasury.
1t is presumed that good many congrega-
lions up this way are just about in the same
condition.

I Wonder.

When young man is clerk in store and
dresses like prince, smokes "foin cigars"
drinks "noice brandy" attends theatres, balls
and snch like, wonder if he does all upon
the avails Of his clerkship?
When yourg lady sits in the parlor all day
with her lily white fingers covered with rings,
| wonder If her mother don't wash the dishes
and do the work in the kitchen ?
When deacon of the church sells strong
butter, recommending it as excellent and
sweet, wonder If he don't rely on the merits
OF Christ for Salvation
When man goes three times day 10 get a
dram, wonder if he'll not by and by go four
times
Whea young lady congresses her waist a
third smaller than nature made it, | wonder
if her pretty figure will not shorten life some
dozen years or more, besides making her mis-
erable while she does live
When a young man is dependent upon his
daily toi! for his income, and marries lady
who does not know how 10 make loaf OF
bread or mend garment, wonder if he is
not lacking somewhere, say towards the top,

An Eloquent Tribute to Gen. 1aosspa.

In speech recently delivered by Col. Ed
ward Pickett, IT,, in reference 10 the Demo-
or atic victory in Tennessee, he said !:
"lt is well for the memory O. the immortal
sage Of the Hermitage, that the bigoted crusade
against foreigners should receive such re-
buke from the people Of the Stale bene slh
whose sol! his morta remains repose. In eve
~ drop OF his blood, Jackson was an Irishman.
His father was one OF the Irish patriots whose
brow turned pale with indignation at the op-
preston and insults offered 10 his native land.
His mothers cheeks were famed by soft
breezeS that blew over the blue bay OF Dublin,
and wreathed in the roses that grow on the
green sod OF Erin. But il, os the Hero OF New
Orleans was ascending the capitol 10 take the
oath of feality to the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, a foul whisper had reached his
ears that The President elect was an lrishman,
and therefore an anti American, one hand
would have been laid on his breast, and the
other would have grasped his sword, and he
would have said, 'yes, in every drop of my
blood and every nerve Of my arm, am an
lrshman, but here at least is an American
heart, that while it beats will love the Con-
stilution and the liberty it guarantees, and
here an American sword shall be ready 10 de.

"A CALIFORNIA STORY.

Our California friends are getting to be
about as full OF fun as the sands OF her rivers
are Of golden treasures. One facfious editor
makes US laugh heartily over a scene he wit
messed in daguerrean gallery, and which he
describes in most amusing style. The artist
hung out q very handsome and snowy sign
over his door, on which was painted, in round
readable letters
"Babies Taken Till P. M, in Two Seq
onds"
This sign soon caught the eye Of middle
aged woman-but we will let the California
man tell the story in his own way:
"Bess the Lord for that!" exclaimed the
woman, who, with three or four young ones
in her arms, stood gazing on the happy an
nouncemeni. "Bless the Lord Relief has

"Are you the man that takes babes T'
so yes, with the greatest ease"
The old lady cast lingering look at her
young brood, as if she was bidding them adieu
forever.

babies you take 7"
"It matters not, madam, have taken all

The old woman gave the artist a suspicious
look, as much as to say, what sort of man

'.Well, you can take them," said the old
woman, as she approached him." but before
you do SO, would like 10 know what you in.

The artist saw his mistake and attempted
to back out.
"On second thought" he said, 81 will not

Beautiful Extract.

The following wall, afoat on the "sea OF
reading" we clip from an exchange. We do
not know its paternity, but it contains some
wholesome truths, beautifully sci forth:
"Men seldom think of the great event OF
path, hiding forever from their own eyes the
traces of the loved one whose living smiles
were The sunlight Of their existence. Death
is the great antagonist Of life and the cold
thought Of The tomb is the skeleton of.all feasts.
We do notwant to go through the dark valley
although IFS passages may lead 10 paradise;
and with Charles Lamb, we DO not want 10
Ire down in the muddy grave, even with kings
and princes for our bed-fellows."
"But the fat of nature is inexorable. There
is no appeal or relief from the great law which
dooTs US tp dust. We flourish, and we fade,
as The leaves Of the forest, and the flower that
blooms an} withers in q day, has not Trailer
hold upon life than the mightiest monarch
that ever shook the earth with his footsteps.
Generations OF men appear and vanish as the
grass, and the countless multitude that throngs
the world to-day. will tomorrow disappear
as the footsteps on the Shore"
'fn the beautiful drama OF Ion, the instinct
of immortality, so eloquen,ly uttered by the
dear devoted Greek, finds deep response in
every thoughtful soul. When about 10 yield
bis young existence as q sacrifice to fate, his
beloved Clemanthe asks If they shall not meet
ogain; to which he teples: Il have asked that
dreadful question Of the hills tha. look ter
nal--of the clear streams that flow forever-o
the stars among whose fields OF azure my rails.
ed spirit hath walked in glory All were
dumb. But while gaze upon thy living face,
l feel that there is something in the love tina
mantles through its beauty that can not who'll

in which Caspar had invested largely, fell TO

Stand on funeral mound,
Far from all that love thee;
With barren heath around,
With cypress bower above thee;
And think while the sad winds frets,
And the night in cold gloom closes,
OF spring, and springs sweet violets;
OF summsr, and summers roses.
Sleep where the thunders fly
Across the tossing billow;
Thy canopy the sky,
And the lonely deck thy pillow;
And dream while the chin sea foam
In ncckery dashes Ger thee,
or the cheerful hearth and the quiet home,
And the kiss of her that bore thee.
Watch in the deepest coh
or the foeman's dungen tower,
TIL hopes most cherished spell
Has lost its cheering power; ~.
And sing while the Calling chain
On every stiff limb freezes,
OF the huntsman hurrying DER the plain,
OF the breath Of the morning breezes,
Talk OF the minstrel Lutte t

When the honeyed lips are mute,
And..the strong arm crushed forever;
