"Let eaoh have his own again said Cy-

A young man who had lost his mother,
to whom he was most tonderly attached
had often expressed strong desire to go
to heaven that he might once more meet
his beloved mother AS he had no inter-
est in religion, his desire for heaven had
no higher object than this. Some time af-
forwards, he became christian and when
asked about the anticlpatious of meeting
his mother in heaven, he said, at seems
to mo as if | should want to gaze upon my
Saviour thousand years, before thinking
of any one clso."
Christ had lid down his life for him
He would not look at another.

lIl,u,,r Dogs why nv MOI Tax rher,.

The best thing that Congress can do for
the farmers, or, Vt least the wool-growers
is to tax dogs. Tax them to the point OF
determination. ANY cause which dis.
oourages sheep-hnsbandry is calmity.
We are importing wool very largely. In
1862 the importation was fifty millions in
cloth. Our Whole production was but y
little more than sixty million, and our con.
sumption about one hundred aud forty
millions of pounds. We used that year
fifty millions of pounds of wool in manu-
featuring military goods, and the demand
ia not decreasing, and probably will not
for years to come. What Is the reason we
have to import woOll Ii is because we
keep 30 many dogs. More damage has
been done the past year by dogs than the
whole race on earth are worth, They
have been Of very little benefit, il any, and
are kept by men generally who cannot
afford il. Let them be taxed until all the
worthless ours are exterminated.
MEN laugh at the idea of exterminating
dogs, and at all dog laws, but if they
would stop to calculate tho immense in.
jury they have inflicted upon tho country
they would be surprised. IN 1862 m.ro
than 60,O00 sheep were killed and wounded
IN the state of 0hio by dogs, worth at that
iime Sl35,00O, beside the 10000 pOunds
Of wool they would have yielded il alive
In the ivs years prior to 1862, they killed
and wounded in that State alone more
than 100000 sheep, worth half million Of
d6llarS.r AT the same rate the country
looses annually more than million OF dol
Egsby slieap killed and wounded by dogs
The loAs,h has been 80 great from this cause
that sheep liusbandry has fallen off in
Bolne parts Of the country. During ten
years past. 1t has fallen OF about one-httl
IN the State Of Ohio, and more than 800 00l
IN -Eugian1. which, is about one-fiftl
Of ths whole namber."
