MISCELLANY.
I HAVE A RIGHT.
BY JEAN lNGLLOW.

We, as Il nation, ar remarkably fond
of talking about our lights. The express
sion Il have rig'd," is constantly in
our mouths. I'his is one reason, among
some others, why it is fortunate for us
that we speak English, since this favoritc
tongue las no precise equivalent.
Whether the nations phrase grew out
Of the nations character, or whether the
happy possession Of such II phrase has
bclpcd to mould that character, it is
scarcely now worth while to inquire.
Certain it is that those generations which
make thereby laws which govern their
cmldrcu's children, and thus, perhaps, ii
comes 10 pass thai this neat, in lppondcnt
Anglo Saxon phrase helps to get and
keep for us the very rights it tells Of.
For, under some governments it is true
that the dearest and most unali,njblc
,T7ttS of the race 90 by the name OF priv
ilcge, indulgence, or immunity, a con"es-
sion, and no! an inheritance; a gili and
not birth right while ancient rights
in our sense OF this worl, merge into
mere privileges held at the rulers will,
AMI having been once called privileges,
may be exchanged by him for other priv
ilcges which may amount to no more
than the sight of II glittering show; 50 III
our case ii is true that pri, ilcgcs have a
constant tendency to merge into rights.
Let any man grant his ncighbors the
privilege Of walking through lis fields
his park or his grounds, and then sec
how soon it will be said that they have d
right to traverse them; and in fact very
soon they WW have a right by the law o.
the land for to prove the right they neec
only show that they have enjoyed th(
privilege ''lime out OF mind" Aud then
again, Right is very unfair to his cousir
p,7riIeye, for, by the laws of England, six
ty years constitute "lime out OF mind
By taking the trouble TO investigate
any person may find many parallel cases
and 50 we keep the path Of liberty. Firs
we got that path MS a sort of privileG
which was winkea at then we made gu
that we had right to il ! next prove'
that it wanted widening, and then pave'
it handsomely, made II kings highway o
it, and took pains to have it constant,
in repair
Now, ii being an acknowledged thing
my dear friends, that we have right,
and that we like TO have these facts well
known to all whom it may concern--ho'
glad you will be if can point out TO yo
certain rights which some of you hav
scarcely considered at all. have me

men, industrious young workmen, an

"Thank you, sir, I'm sure" SAID tn,
baker.
In course of time the debt was paid
though almost every Saturday these olc
people hobbled from the door. And now
Mr.. Bryce's rights were found to increase
with his business and enlarge with hi:
family.
First he had only ,tyM to give
away the stale loavcs, ''belng he was in
debt :" then lie had right to give away
all that was left, "bcing he was out OF
debt While he was single lie had a
right to bake dinners for nothing, ''being
he had no family to save for" When
he was married he lad right TO consider
the poor, ''bcing IA he was SO prosperous
as to have enough for his own and
omathing over" When he had ten
children, his business still increasing, he
founi out that he had a r7gM to adopt his
wIfes little niece, ''for, bless you, sir" he
observed, "Ive such lot of my own that
padding that serves for ten shares
serves Tor eleven jus: as well And, as
Tor schooling, | wouldn't of it, if my boys
ana girls were not rs good scholars as Id

little ono share. In fact, when man
has earned a jolly hot dinner for his
family every day, and seen 'em say their
grace over it he has ,rghtto Give what
they leave ont to the needy, especially if
his wife agreeable"
And 50 Mr.. Bryce, the baker, went on
prosperinr, and finding out new rights
to keep pace with his prosperity. In
due time his many sons and daughters
grew up; the latter married, and the
iormcr were placed out in life. Finally.
after long and happy life, Mr.. Bryce
the baker. died, and in his will, after
leaving $500 apiece to all his sons and
daughters, he concluded his bcquests with
this characteristic sentence;
And my dear children, by the blessil q
OF God, having put you out well in lite.

DIAMOND WORK.

The Intellectual O5se,rer, an English
periodical has the following;
"The first real improvement in the
design of diamond work originated in
leaves, from which were pendenI snau
stars, vr dew drops, and its best feature
was a concicntious desire to follow close
ly upon nature. For a long time the
simple field flowers and LONG grasses were
the ruling models of diamond work in the
Austrian capital. I he new fashion soon
spread from Vienna to Paris, and thence,
through French and German workmen,
to London. At this time, what is tech
nically called '',hread setting was little
used in LONDON. The English workman
prided himself upon his grain setting"
l. z lis work, whether leaf, flower or
nondescript ornament, was pared away
on the edges, leaving long round; topped
grains between and on the side facets of
the stones. All ornaments alike were
subjected to this treatment, which gave
rounded appearance to the work and de-
siroycd all outline. This style of setting
i, drsci ibed as ''cut down" from the man
ner in which il is effected, and the En-
glishman was proud of his cutting down.
Thread setting on the contrary, preser-
yes n fine liet,o or line of silver on the outer
edge of the portion Of the leaf or flower,
the sharp outline of which it is desired to
preserve, and, by a judicious use of the
two methods an admirable degree Of relief
is given to the whole ornament.
"The advance of the Vienncse in their
search for art in the footsteps of nature
! led to most important results. The sim
pie grass leaves were succeeded by foliage
of Il more ornate character; flowers of
most complex construction were made
the prominent features in the tiara, the
brooch, or the stomacher, till no object
was considered too difficult Of imitation
in this plastic silver, to be afterwards
encrusted with diamonds SO thickly rs
TO leave little but a shell Or skin of the
original material to bind them together.
1t may truly be sail that jcwelry, in its
employment of the diamonds chiefly, at
tanned perfection in these floral ornaments.
The taste of the draughtsman and tho
modellcr, and The skill of the workman,
were combined TO produce them, and the
result was the creation Of works Of true
art. Many of the best specimens of this
class of workmanship were mrde IN Lon
don, but, it must also be said, by for
cign artisans chiefly French and German.
"T..e style of the present day is no
longer the same, but the skill and the
taste remain, although scarcely employed
so advaniagcously. The fashion of the
moment runs in favor of a species of
Arabesquc or byzantine interlaced work.
to which it would be very difficult TO
give a name, but which is effective in SO
tar that it allows of the massing of stones
ON II rounded surface, broken up by mar
row interstices, and a few gems are made
} to produce the dazzling effect Of many.
Diamond. work finds "a further develop
ment in simple five pointed stars, placed
at intervals on an interlaced'band."

Interesting TO Farmers Regarding In
tcrnaI Revenue Tar Decisions,

Interesting TO Farmers Regarding In
tcrnaI Revenue Tax Decisions.
The following very important decisions
have recently been given by the Commis-
sioner Of Internal Revenue at Washing
ton:
L. Farmers will not be required to make
return OF produce consumed in their own
immediate families. ---s--a4
z. The farmers profits from sales of
live stock are to be found from deducting
The gross receipts for animals sold and the
purchase money paid for the same IL
animals have been !, st during the year by
death or robbery, the purchase money paid
Tor such animals may be deducted from
the gross income of the farm.
.. No deductions can be made by the
farmer for the value of service rendered by
his minor children, whether he actually
pays for such services or not. If adult
children work for him and receive COM
pensation for their labor, they are to be
regarded rs other hired laborers in teter-
mining his income.
4. Money paid for labor, except such
as is used or employed in domestic service,
or in the production of articles consumed
IN the family of the producer, may be de-
ducied
D. No deduction can be allowed in any
case for the cost of unproductiye labor.
II house servants are employed portion
OF the time in productive labor, such as
the making Of butter and cheese for sale.
a proportionate amount of the wages paid
them may be deducted.
6. Expense for ditching and clearing
new land are plainly expenses for perma-
nent improvement, and not deducted.
Z. The whole amount expended for
fertilizers employed during the year to the
farmers may be deducted, but no deduction
is allowed for fertilizers produced on tie
farm. The cost of seed purchased for
sowing and planting may be deducted.
8. lfa person sells timber standing, the
profits are TO be obtained by estimating
the value of the land after the removal of
the timber, and from the sum thus OBJ
tanned deduciing the estimated value of tho
land on the 1T of January, 1862, or on
lhe day OF purchase, 1t purchased since
that date.
9. Where repairs have been made by
the taxpayer upon any building owned by
him during the preceding five years, moth
ing can be deducted for repairs made
during the year for which his income is
estimated.
lO. A farmer should make returns of
his product sold, within the year. but a
mere executory contract for sale is not
'i.le; delivery, either active or construc-
i've, is essential The criterion by which
. Judge whether sale is complete or not
; to determine whether the yender still
etains in that character right over tho
property; If the property were lost or
destroyed, upon which parties, in tho
bsencc of any other relation between
hem than that of the vendor and vendce,
would the loss fall.
