The Husbands Soliloquy.
BY MRS. NJ. A. KIDDER.

Lovely woman, sweet and humani
How her witching ways disarm usl
Bright and witty-what pity
That her bills should so alarm us!
Charming creature, how each feature
Lights up with ecstatic pleasure?
(Harmless passion when Dame fashion
Brings to view her latest treasures!
Silks and laces how her face is
Radient as the sunlight dawning;
Eyes are glaneing, curls are dancing,
And her brow is like the morning?
Daily shopping-money dropping
Fast from white and dainty fingers,
Wants explicit-taste exquisite;
How the happy shopper fingers!
All! tits cruel, when jewel
Might light up sweet home affection,
Thus to splutter, scold and lutter,
When wife hints in that direction!
Woman tender, who can render
Too much Joy to match her beauty
How can dresses or caresses
Half repay her love and duty!
Then, Dame Fashion, put the lash on,
Urge your steeds of daring mettle:
Lovely woman, sweet and human,
Must have dress, and we must settle

Tax on Building Associations.

The commissioner Of internal revenue
has decided that building associations
loaning money on real estate are liable to
a special tax as bankers, as per section
70, paragraph l, of june 30th, 1864,
which says: every person, firm, or
company having place of business where
money is loaned or advanced upon bonds,
stocks, bullion, bills Of exchange, or
promissory notes, is regarded as banker" /"
This comprehends the loaning of money
on real estate. AS bankers, building as.
sociations should also make return each
month of the amount Of capital used, for
the tax of one half of one quarter per
cent, as approved in section ll9, act of
June Both, 1868.

In Philadelphia short weight is made
short work with. Take for instance, the
sale of butter in the markets 1t is usu-

pound each, The city weigher, man
invested with legal authority, goes thro'
each market once a day. Behind him
follow two stout negrcs, with the ''just
balance" and large basket lie APP
proaches the butter sellers table, says to
the balance man, "Weigh one Of these
Jumps" The thing is done, aud if it
falls that of pound, the huge pile goesinto
the basket, is lugged off, no questioning
no parlying, no whimpering but away it
goes, the butter man looking after its dis
appearance with apparent astoaishment,
and his neighboring "money changers
looking at him with mingled sorrow and
contempt. Sometimes five hundred
pounds are reported eonfscated in this
way in single day. What applies to
butter extends to other articles, tainted
meat, etc.

Save the Bones.

There is no farmer but has more or less
offal OF bones These can be saved from
the soup-ketiic, roasting ogon, and other
departments Of the kitchen, as well as
from the slaughter pen. The hoofs Of
beef, bones Of the head, &C., which are
usually thrown away On slaughtering day.,
are all of scrvic if properly saved. Any
kind of dry bones bring from fifteen to-
twenty FIVE dollars per ton, and there is
no farmer but csn save more or less
There is nothing makes better manure,
and there are bone mills over the country
to grind them. Tanners can use them
proitably themselves. Salphuric acid

by the carboy at three cents pound, wiiE
inside of forty eight hours, dissolve twice

bones of any animal you kill, or which

Ungrateful Children.

An Eastern proverb, which declares
that there are DO uugrateful children, is
nearer the truth than it appears. 1t is
but another version of the Bible maxim :
'FTrain up the child in the way it should
go, and whenhe is old he will never de-
part from it." The parent who does really
train up child in the way it should 60,
is the parent who truly deserves the graft.
tude of his child and he is the only par
ent who can hope to receive it in full
measure. How many parents there are,
who, after indulsing their children's de.
sirse, are sincerely astonished to see them
making no return Of love and gratitude
Gratitude For what should they be CRATE
ful For an impaired digestion I, a
mind empty? For hands unskilled or
a childhood wasted? For the cha, OF
forming a noble character lost? ese
are poor claims upon the grattuo Of q
child. Bring up your child so lat, at
mature age, he has sound constitution
healthy desires and an honest heart, a
well formed mind, good manners, and 8
useful calling, and you may rely upon his
making such a rich return of grateful af
fection, as shall thousand times repay
you for the toll and self denial which such
a training cost.

influence CT Forests in Producing Rain
We have on various occasions called
the attention of our readers to the inti-
mate relation between the clmatology of
a country and its forests, showing that az
the latter are cut away the amount Of rain
decreases. An interesting instance ofthe
converse Of this proposition has just been
announced in connection with the climate
Of Egypt. For a long time, as it is well
known, rain has never fallen in Upper
Egypt at all, and in the Delta only on Eve:
or six days in year. Some years ago,
however, Mehenet All planted twenty
millions Of trees on the Delta, AMI they
have now attained considerable size
The result is that the number of rainy
days has gradually increased from or six
every year to forty, with tho prospect of
attaining still greater proportion hereaf-
ter.

The BEAUTHUL.-Place a young girl
under the care of a kind-hearted,
graceful woman, and she unconsciously
to herself grows into a graceful lady.
Place boy in the establishment of a
horough-going business man and the
boy becomes a self-reliant practical
business man. Children are sus-
ceptible creatures, and circum-
stances, scenes and actions always
impress them. As you influence
them, not by arbitrary rules, nor by
stern example alone, but in the thous-
and other ways that speak through
beautiful forms, through bright scenes,
soft differences and pretty pictures, SO
they will grow. Teach your children
to love the beautiful. Give them a
corner for flowers ; encourage them to
put in shape the hanging baskets; al
low them to have their favorite trees,
learn them to wander in the prettiest
woodlots, show them where they can
best view the sunset, rouse them in the
morning, not with the stern ''time to
work" but with the enthusiastic see
the beautiful sunrise ]" give them pref
ty pictures and encourage them to dec
crate their rooms each to his or her
childish way The instinct is in them.
Allow them the privilege and they will
make your home beautiful.

Near the grave whose shadows keep
Her whose life his own so tended,
And whereby the dear ones lie.

Till the holy angels wake him
With his life our lives he blest.
