"THEY CAN'T TAX ME-"

We have repeatedly heard poor men.
laboring men say, remarks the Gallopolis
Dispatch, 'Well. I have not got any
property. they can't tax me much!''
We recently met one of this class re-
turning after hard days work. carrying
on his arm a peck Of meali we accosted
him. and the following conversation en-
sued. 81 .-...,...-y
"Well, Jones, how do you get on =
"Poor enough! It seems harder to
make support for myself and family than
ever before. I work hard. live poor, don't
drink or lounge around. and yet it is all !
can do to live" 80. -.
Well, that is MOTTO be wondered at,
when you and other laboring men vote
year after year to increase your own bur-
dens. Times will grow harder until you
change your way of voting, and taxes will
increase. p
They can't tax me much, for I've got
nothingv'
They can't, eh? Let's see! What
did that peck of meal cost you
''Thirty cents.''

a bushel of meal? - ii'.' ~ - e.. 'ss=a

It costs about fifteen or twenty cents

are mighty bad people, and try to deceive

it, for l know they don't tax meal"
I think I can prove to you that corn
meal is pretty heavily taxed.

Well, the corn from which the meal
was made was raised on taxed land, plow-

THE EARTHQUAKE.
Account by a Midshipman of the U. S.
Steamer Wateree.

The St. Louis Democrat publishes
letter from Midshipman Edward D. Taus-
sig, late of the United States steamer Wa
teree, describing the earthquake in South
America Mr.. Taussig, a son of Charles
Taussig. of St. Louis, seems to have had
narrow escape from death. He volun-
teered to take command of boat which
put off from the Wateree to pick up a man
who was seen drifting by that ship on a
mass of earth and weeds, but was caught
by the tidal wave and prevented from re-
turning. Finally his boat was thrown a.
gainst the Peruvian corvette America,
and he got ashore in curious fashion,
This part Of the narrative we give IN his
own words: ...L -.....
"The Peruvians cast US small line,
which we made fast, and then seeing it
was impossible for the boat to live in such
sea, I ordered the men to climb up,
which they did as rapidly as possible
We had good deal of slack rope. and the
sea would sometimes bring US close under
the Americas counter and then would

we always came alongside with thump,
we soon sprung some of the plank. The
boat was half full of water, the line was
taut and there were still three men in the
boat beside myself. Men give way. |
cried, and with four oars out we pulled
with all our might. The Peruvians had
another line out for us, which two of the
men grabbed, leaving the coxswain and
myself in the boat, which brought up a.
gainst the Americas side with such vio-
lence as to fill the boat Immediately
The coxswain and I had barely time to
catch the rope holding the boat. ere it
parted beneath our feet, leaving US sus-
pended between wind and water, the cox
swain above me about eight feet; owing
to the want of presence of mind on the
part of the Peruvians, the rope was not
hauled up as rapidly nor as steadily as it
ought to have been, SO that we were three
times lowered into the water, which was

day you will come to want. Let the work
house be ever in your mind, with all the
horrors of distress and poverty.
Follow these precepts strictly, and you
will be miserable to your hearts content
If we may so spcak-sick at heart and

TOO GREAT MY LOSS.

The following lines are the translation OF
German hymn found in "The Schoolmaster
and his Son." a work recently published
They were written by the Schoolmaster, short
ly after he had lost his wife and three children
by the plague, and are expressive of his feelings
under the heavy bereavement he had experience
ed at the hand of fProvidence.
