THE OLD TURNPIKE.

We hear no more the changing hoof,
And the stage coach rattling by.
For the steam King rules the travel world,
And the old pixies left TO die.
The grave creeps Fer the finty path,
And the stealtby dases steal 1
Where once the stage horse, day by day,
Lifted his iron heel.
No more the weary stagcr breads
The toll OF the coming morn !;
No more the bustlng landlord runs
AT the sound OF the echoing horn
For the dust lies still upon the road
And the bright-cyed children play
Where once the Gathering hoof ard wheel
Ratified along the way.
No more WE hear the cracking whip,
And the strong wheel s rumblng sound
And ah ! the water drives us on, f.
And an iron )rse is found
The coach stands rustirg in the yard,
The horse has sought the pillow if'
We have span'd the world with an iron rail,
And the steam-king rules us now.
The OLD turnpike is pike no more;
Wide oren stands the gate;
We have nude us Il road Tor our horse to stride
And we ride at flying rate; .ilr yas
We have filled the valleys and level'd the hills
And tunneled the mount ain side. rnf
And round the rough crag's dizzy verge,
Fearless now we ride.
On on = on-with a naughty front,
A puff. n shrek and a bound; ll ha.
While the tardy echoes wake too late
To Acho back the sound;
And the old pike road is left alone,
And the stagers seek the plow;
We have circlei the earth with an iron rail-
And the steam king rules us now. sr

DECISIONS WHICH ARE DECISIONS. Some wag

tcrnal revenue law: 4a i'iiF
"The latest decisions of the commissioner of in
ternal revenue covers the following points: Par
ties using paper collars must use them from the
original packages; that is, from the box in which
they have been purchased; and a three cent
revenue stamp must be attached to each one
when put on. When the collar becomes soiled,
and is turned with the clean side ont, it must re-
ceive another three cent stamp, and must also
be conspiouously stamped with the word "turn

second time, but must he destroyed in the room
where emptied, and the assessor furnished with
certificate of the fact. If thrown out of the
window or carried out in the coal scuttle or wash
tub such boxes will be subject to export duty.

ening just as they find it when the box is opened
adding nothing to it whatever. The act Of spit
ting in the box and smearing the contents with
the brush, constitutes the bootblack mixer or
rectifer, or manufacturer of backing, aud he
must pay the ordinary manufacturers license.
Each boot blacked, for which the sum of five
cents is paid by the wearer must receive, at the
expense of the bootblack, four and three-quar-
