HOW STRANGE 1T WILL BE.
BY FLORENCE PERCY.

How strange it will be, love-how strange,
when we two
Shall be what all lovers become,
You, rigid and faithless, cold and untrue,
You thoughtless of me, and careless of you,
Our pet names grown rusty with nothing
to do,
Loves bright web unraveled, and rent and
worn through,
And life's loom left empty-ah hum!
All. me!
How strange it will be!
How strange It will be, when the witchery
goes,
Which makes me seem lovely to-day;
When your thought of me loses its couleur de
rose,
When every day serves some new fault to
disclose,
When you find I've cold eyes, and an every
day nose.
And wonder you could for moment suppose
l was out of the common place way;
All. me
How strange it will be!
How strange it will be, love-how strange
Nueu we IletL
With Just chill touch of the hand;
When my pulses no longer delightfully."- beat,
At the thought of your coming, at the sound
of your feet,
When watch not your going, far down the
long street,
When your dear loving voice, SO thrillingly
sweet,
Grows harsh in reproach or command ;
All, me
How strange it will be
How strange it will be, when we willingly
stay,
Divided the weary day through!
Or, getting remotely apart as wemay,
Sit chilly and silent with nothing to say,
Or coolly converse on the news of the day,
In a wearisome old married folks sort of
way!
1 shrink from the picture, don't yous
All, mel
How strange it will bel
Dear love, if our hearts do grow torpid and old
As so many others have done
If we do let our love perish with hunger and
cold,
If we dim all life's diamonds and tarnish its
gold,
If we choose to live wretched and die un-
consoled,
Twill be strangest of all things that ever
were told
As happening under the sun !
An. mel
How strange it will be!

SUBLIME FAITH.-Faith rests with
confidence on the word of God, as the
foot ofthe weary pilgrim rests down upon
the solid rock, assured that there shall be
no sinking beneath the pressure
When man has proper conception of
Divine character, he feels that he could
sooner doubt his own existence than
doubt the promise of faith. As an illus
tration'of unwavering faith, sublime faith
we have net seen anything more apt
than the reply of the poor Scotch woman
to Rev. John Brown, of Heddington.
Mr.. Brown had been pressing her with
hard questions to test her knowledge Of
the Scriptures and the strength and
depth of her piety. At last he asked !;
Janet, what if God, after all behas done
should break his promise and drop you
into hell?" The poor woman promptly
replied, "Let him do cen as he liked.
If he do what you suppose, he'll lose mair
than | do" Who will not be made
stronger by such words as fell from that
humble woman's untutored lips?

BEAUTIFUL ExTRACT.-When the
summer of our youth is slowly wasting
into the nightfall of age, and the
shadows of the past grow deeper, as if
life were on its close, it is pleasant to
look back through the vista of Time
upon the sorrow and felicites of years.
If we have a home to shelter US, and
friends have gathered by our fresides,
then the rough place of wayfaring will
be worn and smoothed away in the twi.

The Untaxed Government Bonds.

One of the chief hobbies of the De-
mocracy in the present canvass is the
crying ont against certain class of
United States Bonds being exempt from
taxation. Now we cannot, of course,
in our limited space, enter into any
lengthy discussion upon the financial
policy of the Government, or even emu
merate all the various circumstances
under which the several classes of Gov
ernmeut Indebtedness were issued; but
we can, we feel sure, in few words,
show that this cry against the ezemp-
ton of these bonds from taxation, is as
silly and baseless as the rest of the
Democratic thunder invoked in the
present campaign. 1t will readily be
remembered that there was time dur
ing the war when the Union cause
seemed to droop, and it was difficult for
the Government to obtain funds even
at great sacrifice, and that evidences of
Indebtedness were necessarily issued at
a greatly deprecated valuation. Many
plans were proposed at this time, or at
these times-lor there were many OF
them-to facilitate the raising of loans,
and at the same time to keep the stand
ard Of the Governments paper as high
as possible and one of these, and the
most successful one, was to issue class
of bonds which should bear moderate
rate of interest, and be exempt from
taxation. The effect was, as we expect
ed, the loans were readily taken, and at
rates even more favorable to the Gov
ernment than was anticipated. Many
who had unbounded confidence in the
ultimate triumph of the Union cause,
but who had no conception of the time
and money it might take to secure that
triumph, and had therefore extreme
dread of continued high taxation, read
lily invested their money in these bonds,
at figures far above what could have
been obtained had they not thus been
exempt. Thus, it will be seen that be-
sides relieving the Government from lis
most pressing embarrassment, these
bondholders paid more than enough
difference in price for these securities
to cover taxation for quite length of
time, in order to be sure that it would
not be continuous; and, indeed, the
reduced rates of interest considered,
actually paid taxes in advance, upon the
pledge and faith of the Government
that whatever else should befall, their
investment should not be deprecated
by taxation. Is it not, then, as before
said, silly and baseless nonsense for
these Democratic scribblers and stump
ers to prate and gabble about the sin,
Justice of allowing these exempt bonds
to be exempt as the law provides +? Is
it not an evidence of the baseness and
per6dy of the men who lead that delec-
table party that they will advocate the
abrogation of the plighted faith of the
nation, given at time of dire necessity,
simply as catch call to deceive the
ignorant2 Let no one be deceived by
them they have no sympathy with the
victors of the war, DOR with those who
furnished means to carry it on, and only
use this as blind to their intention
to assume the validity of the rebel debt
if they should ever get into power
