a Persian Fable.

The Orientals delight to commu-
uicate truth BY means of fables.
They employ the natural and visible
to illustrate and simplify the inyis-
ible. A generous and noble Chris
tian life is inculoated in the follow
ing fable, current Among tho Per-
slams
:Wben Abraham sat ia his tent
door, waiting to entertain strang-'
ers, according to his custom, he
saw an old man, leaning upon. .
staff, approaching him, who was >
hundred years old. and wcary with
age and travel, A He sccived him
kindly. washed his feet. and 4provi-
ded supper ; but observing that the
old man ate, and prayed not tor ?
blessing on bis meat. asked him
Why he did not worship the God Of
heaven. .e'ls 81 III
The old man answered, Il wor-
ship the fire only; I aeknowlege no
other god.' At this Abraham grew
indignant. and in his zeal, thrust
him ont Of his tent and exposed
him to al the evils Of the night.
When the old man was gone, God
| called to Abraham from the thick
clouds, asking him where the stran-
ger was. He replied: sI1tbrust
him away because ho did not wor-
ship thee. And the Lord answer
ed: i have suffered him these
hundred years though be dishonored
me, Couldst thou not bear with
him q single night, though bs gave
thee no trouble p The story saith
that Abra ham called him back and
gave him hospitablc entertainments
and instruction. 60 thou, and do
likewise. and thy charity shall be
rewarded by the God Of Abraham.

Workingmen everywhere com-
plain Of hard times-exce essive tax
alton and difficulty of getting along.
Farmers complain. Mechanics
complain. Workingmen complain.
Even tax-collectors complain Of the
hard times.
There is no need of this COM
planning. There is no need of pay
ing taxes. Let the farmer sell his
land-the lum herman his mill-the
merchant his store-the mechanic
his tools-ths drayman his horse
the gardener his little patch of
grouEd-the shopkeeper his stock
IN trade, and invest in United
States bonds.
Then you have no taxes to pay.
You can 60 to the watering places,
can visit the race.track, tho opcrs,
the fancy ball, keep trotting horses
in your stables and silk-dressed har-
lots in your cottages by the sea.
Sell your taxable stuff and invest
in bonds. Then you will have .
better income in gold than you now
have in grcenbacks. a
You will be exempt from taxation.
You can live on the labor of others.
You will be loyal. and = supporter
of the Government. ..
Our Government taxes every
man Who works-it exempts Fs@
taxation those who 10 not work
who sell their taxable property and
buy the bonds, or the notes Of poor
men. on which large interest is paid.
To be sure it is hardly fair to make
workers support tho idlers. but that
is what our Government does. It
is good thing for the idlers. but q
bad thing for farmers, laborers.
workers-for all who toll and pay
taxes.
Il is . good thing for bondhold-
ers. and they run the Government.
Therefore escape taxation. buy
bonds, rob the people. and be pop
ular.
There are smart people enough to
buy bonds-thcre are foolish people
enough to pay them-to pay inter.
est tbcreon-to permit bondholders
to live without being taxed. There
fore be bondholder-be : nabob--
wear kids--drink champagne-keeI
private house Of prostitution,
with a niger door-keeper, and be
somebody.
So runs the world.-N. Y. Dem.

Graduated vs. Educated.
BIZ EMILY l.. WHITING.

In these latter days of wisdom,
when new books appear faster than
snowaakes in - New England storm,
and new authors, more numerous
than stars in an autumn evening,
arise.in the literary armament, it
has been playfully affirmed that the
only distinction consists in being
ux-distiuguishcd. If this assertion
is true in the world Of letters, it is
doubly true in the world of schol-
ars. So common . process has
graduating" become, that \ youth
who has rarely seen the inside of q
college would be moro Of an ano-
maly than he who complacently y
hangs upon the wall his framed rec
ord Of virtues and accoI Elishments,

they not embodied in visible form
and displayed to the gaze Of an ad-
miring world.
The term GRADUATED may COM
prehend much !; or it may be = only

It may represent months and years
of earnest labor !; inwoven with
pure purposes and noble aims ;
