DY recent act of The Legislature it is

June to proceed with the Collection of the pub

same act it is made my duty 20 report, at
the July, September and November County
Courts the amount of taxes collected and pay
the same over to the Auditor. I am authorized
under said act to notify, the Tax Payers by pub
lie notice stuck up at the Court house door, and
in the different Precincts districts of the
County. that on certain days between the LIST of
September. and the 18th of October. l. or my
deputies, will attend at the place of holding elec
ton in such districts and receive their taxes. 1t
il made the dnty of the tax PAYERS to attend on
such days ahd pay the same. If this is not done.
after that date they will have to pay the same at
the Courthouse; and if not done there within
the time prescribed by law, ten per cent. upon

Revenue due by such delinqucnts and enforce

promptness, the thing will work first rate. The
people have the same time, as heretofore. within
which to paw their taxes. The only difference
being, hat they shall give the matter attention
themselves and see to its payment at the times
and places prescribed, instead of the old way of
having the Sheriff call half dozen times, more
less. for their taxes. The law is plain, simple.
and to the point and intend to comply with its
provisions and enforce its penalties. and this
notice is given to call the attention of the people

The Animated Frying-Pan.

In Ireland warming-pan is called friar
Not many years ago. an unsophisticated CIR
took service in hotel in the town Of. Pool
thing-she had never heard of a warming-par
in her life, though she regularly confessed to q
friar once year
1t happened on cold and drizzly night that O
priest took lodgings at the inn. He had travelled
far, and being weary, retired at an early hour.
Soon after, the mistress of the house called the
servant girl.
% Betty, put the friar into No. "
Up went Betty to the poor priest.
"Your reverence must go into No. 6, my mis-
tress says"
"How WHAT" asked he, alarmed at being
disturbed
"Your reverence must 60 into No. g.
There was no help for it, and the priest arose,
donned a dressing gown and went into No. g.
In about fifteen minutes the mistress called to
Betty.
Put the friar into No. A."
Betty said something about disturbing his re-
verence, which her mistress did not understand.
So she told the girl, in a sharp voice to do as she
was directed, and she would always do right
Up went Betty, and the unhappy priest, despite
his angry prOtestations, was obliged to turn out
of No. 6, and 90 into No. 4. But little time
elapsed ere the girl was told to put the fFar into
No g. and the poor priest, thinking that every
body was mad in the house, and sturdily resolv-
lug to quit it the next morning, crept into the
damp sheets of No. s.. But he was to enjoy no
peace there. Betty was again directed to put
the friar into No. 3, and with tears in her eyes
she obeyed
In about au hour, the laudady concluded to
60 to bed herself, and the friar was ordered into
her room. Wondering what it all meant, Betty
reused up the priest, and told him he must go
into n, !. The monk crossed himself, count
ed his beads, and went into No. l.
1t so happened that the husband of the land
lady WIS troubled with the green-eyed monster
Going up to bed, therefore, before his wife, his
suspicious were confirmed by seeing between his
own sheets a man sound asleep. To rouse the
sleeper, and kick him into the street, was the
work of moment. Nor was the mistake ex-
planned till next day, when the priest informed
the nn keeper what outragss had been commit
ted upon him, and he learned to his amazement,
that he had been serving the whole night as a
warming-pau

WoMAN.--Place her among flowers, foster her
as q tender plant. and she is thing of fancy,
way ywardness and sometimes foly-annoyed by
a dewdrop, fretted by the touch of butterfy's
wing, aud ready to faint at the rustic of beetle
the zephyrs are too rough, the showers too heavy
aud she is overpowered by the perfume of a rose
bud But let real calamity come, rouse her
affections, enkindle the fires Of her heart, and
mark her then; how her heart strengthens IT,
self-how strong is her purpose. Place her IN
the heat OF hattle-give her child, bird
anything she loves or pities, to protect--and see
her in n relative instance, raising hef white arms
as a shield, as her own blood crimsons her up
turned forehead, praying for life to protect the
helpless.
Transplant her in the dark places Of earth,
awaken her energies to action, and her breath
becomes healing, her presence blessing. She
disputes, inch by inch, the stride of the stalking
pestience, when man, the strong and brave,
shrinks away pale and affrighted. Misfortune
hauuts her not she wears away life OF silent
endurance, and goes forward with less timidity
than to her bridal In prosperity she is bud
full of odors, waiting but for the winds Of adyer'
sity to scatter them abroad-pure gold valuable,
but untried in the furnace. Iu short, woman is
a miracle-a mystery, the centre from which ra'
J diates the great charm Of existence.

The MORAL CHARACTER OF PIGs.-Some
folko accuse pigs of being filthy in their habits
and negligent in their appearance. But, wheth-
er food is best of the ground or in china plate,
is, it seems to US, mere matter Of taste and
convenience, on which pigs and men may honest
ly differ They ought, then, to be judged char
itably. At any rate, pigs are not filthy enough
to chew tobacco, nor to poison their breath by
drinking whiskey. As to personal appearance
you don't catch a pig playing the dandy, or
picking his way up muddy streets in kid slip
pers Pigs have some excellent traits in their
