A Score Of Years Ago.
from Once . Week


Down by the breaking waves We stood,
Upon the rocky shore; '-as
The brave waves Whispered courage, @
And bid with friendly rear
The falt'riDg words that told the tale
dare not tell before,
ask'd, If with the priceless gin, z
Her love my life she'd Bless. -
Was it her voice, or some fair wave
For sOoth, scarce may guess
Some murmuring wave or her sweet voice,
That lisp'd so sWeetiy Yes"
And then, in happy silence, too,
clasp'd he's fair wee hand
And long We stood there, carsleasy,
While Ger the darkening land
The sun set, and the fishing boats
Were sailing from the strand.
1t seemed not many years ago
Like yesterday-no more,
Since thus VS. stood, my love and !, Z
Upon the rocky shOrei
But was four and twenty hen,
And n0to I'm forty-four.
The lilly hand is thinner now,
And in her sunny hair
see some silvery lines, and on
Her brow some lines OF care;
But, wrinkied brow or silvery locks,
She's not one whit less fair.
The fishing. boats q score Of years
Go sailing from the strand; se
The crimson sun q score Of years
6ets Ger the darkenng land;
And here o-night upon the clin
We're standing hand in hand.

WHERE Soar STONE is FOUND. In late

the following in letter from correspon-

,'.A long time ago there came up from
Dedham, Mass, family named Fuller, that
purchased lands in the eastern part of the
town. ssaas-.. .g.... ~ a. -a... .1.-

was consumed, the farm was mortgaged
Of his sons consumption claimed all but
one, and he left for Boston to labor that the
farm, of whose value none then knew, might
be redeemed One day, as a field was being
sown, the harrow tooth stuck into a soft
stone, which was caught up and cut with a
knife and then il Twas discovered that soap
stone was to be had there. a e..a5
AT first it WAS used for under-pinning,
doofsteps, and the like; and afterward pieces
were sent to Boston to be worked into fire.
places, and finally it was known that the
best stone of it's kind in the known world
was on the Fuller farm in jamestown. 1t

patent for setting them up, Porter Dodge
recently deceased, was made rich.
The elder Fuller died, raised from poverty
to an estate of 40 900. His son, Col. Full
Ter. succeeded, but declined to work the
mine extensively, preferring to keep his
wealth deposited there, rather than change
it into coin to be deposited elsewhere. He,
however, left large estate, and the quarry
passed to the hands of nephew, Mr.. West,
and Mr. Woodward, long in his employ
They sold seven acres OF the land where the
ledge comes to the surface, for $40 900 per
acre, and it las since been put into stock
and sold at the rate of $40, 600 per acre
The present proprietors have just common
ced to work it. but have this year taken out
some $40, 900 Of the stone from a ledge that
seems inexhaustible A hundred Thousand

Cost of Collecting Taxes.

Last winter Hon. Z A. Spencer, Assist
ant Secretary of State, prepared after much
research an interesting and valuable sta
tistical table, showing the cost Of collecting
taxes in the State both general and local.
The figures were of course on the basis of
asst yeaas taxes 1t will. surprise those
who have never given the subject any at
tention, to learn what proportion OF the
taxes goes to pay the expenses of collec-
ton The figures also show very large
aggregate of local taxation for town and
county purposes. The following are the
totals. ta

$230.Sg573

These figures show that it costs, on the
average, over ten per cent Of the whole, to
collect the taxes. This is very large sum
and suggests the propriety of a reform =
That it is larger than is necessary, is shown
by the cost Of collecting taxes by the Gene
raj Government, under the internal revenue
law. Complex and new as the internal
revenue system is the expense OF its collec-
ton is less than four per cent Of the amount

The Freedmen 1n Maryland.

The Baltimore American says: aLarge
numbers of freedmen, whether from choice
OF necessity, will remain at their former
homes, and make the scenes of their COM
pulsory toll their dwelling place. This has
been the case to large extent in Mary
land. But SIS one of its results, we have
sean the disposition on the part of the
Shareholders to adopt system of labor
which practically amounts to enslAvs-
ment, and which in effect abrogstes the
laws intended for the protection Of the
freedmen. The tide Of public opinion hss
set SO strongly against these efforts at fore
ed spprenticeshipsnd other counteractions
and evasions ofthe plain provisions of the
new constitution, that in many cases the
Shareholders have desisted from their at
tempts But in numerous other instances
they have persevered in their recourse to
such hindIanees and resistance, and there
by defeated the intent Of the people.

Galicnani's Messenger says thstan epoth.
ecsry at Nantes, kss just discovered by the
merest accident that smmonis will put out

and upon examination he found thst the
