Which he beside the ~rivulet

Reduced Water Taxes.

The trustees of the Water Works will, on
the 1st of January, present their bills to small
consumers at reduced rates. Those Of three
rooms who hitherto paid 81 per year will now
pay only $4; so in proportion. Good news
this to the poor people. The design is to re-
duce the total receipts for the coming year
$50, 1000. There is one class of consumers who
will find their bills increased. We mean those
who use very large quantities Of water in the
manufacturing or other business. The use of
water meters has demonstrated that the ex-
penses of carrying on the laying down of pipe
and building engines, &C., have been paid by
men of small earnings. While those who
make money literally have not paid their fair
proportion. Water to large consumers, hotels
and other large establishments will hereafter
pay TX cents thousand gallons.

sell, and we are not unwilling to buy.
They offer high figure as their maximum;
$4,000 is their asking price. There are
many of the Counoilmen who esteem these
figures unreasonably high. We believe the
city ought to have the advantages offered;
but; at the round price of $4,000, that would

The Closing Year,

The morslist tells MS that, in their progress,
the years do not go from us, but We from them,
stepping from the old to the new, and always
leaving behind us some baggage, no longer
serviceable on the march. Look back along
the way we have trodden; there they stand,
every one in his place, holding fast all that
was left in trust with them. Some keep our
childhood, some our youth, and all have
something Of ours which they will give up for
either bribe nor prayer--the opinions cast
way, the hopes that went with us no further,
the cares that have successors, and the follies
outgrown, to be reviewed by memory land
called up for evidence some day.
Now that we are but few PAGES from the
threshold of an incoming year, it may be well
to tighten our shoulders of worthless portion
oil our load that we have needlessly encum-
bersd ourselves with, at least to fetch pause
at this season to think over our first thoughts,
to count the cost of some Of our investments 3
in the worlds goods, and decide now, if We
have not paid too dear for our whistles.
Some of our side-pockets have slowed in
them the trash of politics or adulterated food
to feed or poison the soul. Let us only think
at the close of the year what is our special
duty and fitness, and determine the path we
and our house shall tread during the next
year. If meditation is the SOULS perspective
glass, now is the time to bring 1t into requisi-
tion--as meditation is the tongue Of the soul
and the language of our spirit. Now is the
time to turn over o new leaf in reading the
book Of life through our own spectAcles, and
not through other peoples eyes.

.Eyery rub ON Its Own Bottom"

Every curious person who has been in shops
where tubs are made in great numbers must
know that their first disposition, to reach a
merchantable market, is to stow them away in
nests, the largest containing the next smaller
size within il, and SO on until the small tub
is on top. But the wholesale merchant sells
the tubs to dealers. The tubs. by this inter
position of the middle men, are parcelled
around-ons each in the household Of most of
the people in our land. Yet in the closets or
garrets of large residences there is not room I"
place each tub on its own bottom, and they
very frsternally nestle together. It Ia when
the poor washer-woman gets to work that the
tub goes in for speed-on its bottom. The
self-reliancs Of tub Its independence, its use
fulnsss during the whole days wash has never
been made the theme of an epic, but as lexi-
oographers tell US that the word bottom seems
to be allied to the Greek word bathos, it might
argue in public speaker or writer ludicrous
descent from the elevated to the mean, to
place a tub on its own bottom, on the public
stage.

tation, and without intending to interfere with

fore the big fish heaves in sight.
Men have bet and lost their bottom dollar
on what the jockeys call horse Of good bot
