This amount has been paid from the principal

the State, and but few re-sold, it follows that
these expenses are permanent loss to the fand

The title to these roads has passed or is rapidly
passing into the hands of first creditors at a
cost which leaves them among the most pro-
ductve property in the State. There is no JUS
tice or good policy in favoring this property in
taxation, upon fair valuation, at the charge of
the other property of the State At the same
time, the theory of the present law seems to me
correct 1t would not be good policy TO expose
the roads to taxation by piece-meal IN every
town or school district through which track
happens to pass. Then, the unequal product
iveness of the different lines indicates Il per
centage upon the earnings to be the most eqnt-
able basis.

Life OF MOnIeZum q.

The following picture of the life and
habits of MoRt'zuma-th the last great ruler
of the MtxicauS before the Spanish con.
quest is taken from PrrScntt's History
1t shows in what magnificent and princely
manner that monarch lived, and also the
immense wealth he must have had at his
command to support him and his eStab.
lishment. The sketch will be found verv
Interesting:
The domestic establishment of Monte
yuma was on the same scale of barbaric
Splrndor as everything about him. He
could boast as many wives as are found
in the harem Of an Eastern Sultan. They
were lodged in their own apartment and
provided with every accommodation, &C.
cordhg to their ideas, for personal COM
fort and cleanliness. They conducted
themselves with strict decorum, under the
sup rv;Sion of certain aged females, who
actca IN the respectable capacity Of ducn-
uaS
l,. pnlace was supplied with numerous
baths, and MontrZnma set the example in
his own person, of frequent ablutionS -
tie bathed at least once, and changed his
dress four times, it is said, every day.
He never put on the same apparel sec

Besides his numerous female retinue,
the halls and te.chambers were filled
with mobiles in constant attendance on his
person, who served as body guard. 1t
has been usual for plebeians of merit to
fill certain Offices in the palace. But the
naughty Montezuma refused to be waited
upon by any but men Of noble birth. They
were not unfreQucntly the sons Of the
great chiefs, and remained as hostages in
the absence Of their fathers; thus serving
the double purpose of security and state.
His meals the emperor took alone. The
well matted floor of a large saloon was
covered with hundreds of dishes The
royal | i'll Of are comprehended, bclideS
domestic animals, game from distant for.

CHEER FOR THE DIsHEARrENED.-It is a
sad thing when any person, old or young,
goes through his work in cowed spirit
| do not mean goes through it in jnded,
heartless way merely, but goes through it
in the bare hope Of escaping blame A
great part Of all that is done in this world
is done in this way. Many children, ma.
ny servants, many clerks. and even seve.
raj parsons, go through their daily round
thus. | need not say how poorly that
work will usually he done which the man
wishes just to get through without any
great reprobation but think how unhap.
pily it will be done, and what miserable
training of heart and mind it is 1t seems
to me that few people do their work heart
lily, and really aS we'll as they can. And
people whose desire is merely to get
through somehow, seem to stand to their
work as at level below it. The man
who honestly does his best, works from
above; his task is below him; he is mas
ter oft, however hard it NAV be- The man
who hopes no more than to escape cen.

more, seems to work from below; his

thing wrong, but who never say an ap.
proving word when they do right. You
win fiud many who do the like as to their
children. And only too often that wretch
ed management breaks the spring of the
youthful spirit. Yes, many little children
are cowed, and the result is either q per-
manent, dull quieScence, never to be got
over, or fierce reaction against the tyr.
amy that imbittercd carly years-a reac-
tion which may sometimes cast off the
bonds of natural affection, and even of
moral restraint. How it encourages and
cheers the cowed little fellow, growing up
in the belief that he is hopeleSsly wicked,
and never can do anything to please any
one, to try reward as a change from con-
stant punishment and bullying have
seen the good effect upon such one of u
kind, approving word. How much more
cheerful the work will be done, how much
better it will be done, and h6w much hap.

poor fellow who never expects that he can
