caIly exempted) to the extent Of $1,000 per

continue the same.
The taxes accruing from Gold and Silver
Plate, Carriages, Billiard Tables, and Yachts

license, hence the necessity of n report on
them. il you have not already complied
with the above acquisitions, you are most
respectfully and urgently requested to do so,

such as to necessitate my calling upon those

contingency should / not be so fortu-
nate in seeing them, they will then be
obliged to call upon me, or abide the result
of the penalty provided in such cases. The
location of my Office has been established
with special reference to our mutual conve-
nience, and when parties call upon me am
enabled to give them information that my
time will not permit of if have TO call upon

Arise, for the day is passing
While you lie dreaming on;
Your brothers ARE cased in armor,
And forth to the fight are gone
Your place in the ranks awaits you
Each man has II pnrl to play;
The past aud the future are nothing
ln the faoe of the stern to- day
Arise from your dreams of the future
OF gaming hard fought field,
Oi storming the airy fortress,
OF bidding the giant yield
Your life may have deeds of glory,
OF honor; God graul it may
But your arm will never be stronger,
Or needed as now to-day.
Arise! lr The past detain you,
Her sunshine aud storms forget,
No chains so unworthy to hold you
As those Of n vain regret;
Sad or hight, she il lieless ever;
Cast her phantom arul+ away,
Nor look back, save to earn the lesson
OF II noble strife to-day.
Arise for the hour is passing;
The sound that yon dimly hear,
IL your enemy marching To battle;
Rise rise for the foe is near.
Stay not 10 brighten your weapons,
Or the hour will strike at last,
And from dreams Of a coming battle
You will wake, and find it past.
