Ole and John L. McKim are highly popular in
the lower part Of the State, and that there is
reasonable ground for believing that they will

Of their good Intentions and devotion to the

A couple from the rural districts
came to town the other day for the
purpose of being made one. The
groom drove up to the Court House
Square, tied his horses, helped his lady
out of the wagon, and told her to sit
on the steps while he went after the
"permtt." He got the "pe,mit," and
secured the services of a magistrate, af-
ter which the object of his affections
was called in, and the twain made
one. After the ceremony was over
and the necessary lucre placed in the
hands of the magistrate, the bride and
groom went back to their team, which
they fed and then seated themselves
under tree. In q few moments the
bride drew from her spacious pocket a
handkerchief containing their dinner,
and thus they did eat the first "square
meal" of their welded life. This is
what we would call economy and
comfort combined ,-[Cambridge Chron-
icle, ...u ........ .

A Light In the Window.

When boy twelve years old, says
the writer, worked hard to support
my mother and two young brothers,
and carried my earnings home. One
night it being very dark and muddy,
and having three miles to travel, and
a heavy bundle to carry, 1 did not
reach home till late.-My mother fee
BILE and weary had retired, but quickly
aroused when she heard my footsteps,
and met me at the door with warm
heart and warmer tears, and a kiss
and "God bless you, dear boy! af-
ter this, my son, I'll set light in the
window for you" And true to her
word, the bright light in the window
appeared. oh, how it cheered my
heart ever after, for years
Health falling me, left home
after my brothers could help my moth
er-and went to sea. When three
years from home, and on the Pacific
Ocean, my mother died and Just be-
fore she did die she said to those
around her, "Give Edward my dying
blessing, for he has been a good boy ;
and tell him have gone to Heaven,
and will set light in the window fol-
him.

Heavy TAxes---And Who Caused
Them.

"The receipts from internal revenue,
last week, amounted to $1,000, 900,
and the total receipts for May were
nearly $32, 900, ,000."-r rEx.
The enormous taxation of the coun-
try is now the boast of the Radical
press. In one month, from one source
of revenue alone, we have wrung from
the hard earnings of the people a
larger sum than betrayed the whole
yearly expenses of the Government
thirty years ago. 1t is nearly half as
much as the annual expenses of the
Government under President Buch-
anan, before the days of Lincoln as
cendancy. A million dollars q day
internal revenue taxation! Only
think of it! While flour and all the
necessaries of life are at most enor-
