ExpENsKs OF ARMY AND NAVY.


The army consists of $4,000 men, and
costs. .s50, ,000, 600 year The navy costs
$25, ,000, 900. Why do We need these vast
armamentsl For what useful purposes
are they kept upS And, if it Is necessary
to have so many men, why should we
have Generals and staff oficerI sufficient
for an army ten timeB as great. 1t is said
q do not vouch for its truth) that BrigS-
der General sits in the Ante-chamber of
the White House and plays usher TO the
President. An expenditure of SO, 5,0O0, 900
for the army and SO, 900, 600. for the navy
would be ample. -...t .s..-.r-
1 said the taxation was enormous. Have
/ not proved it9 i saidoit was unequalIy
and Unjustly distributed,,y The last official
statement of the value of all property in
the United States was $16, 900, 900, 000. =
Taking these figures as nearly correct, the
capital invested in bonds Is more than one
eighth Of the whole. We know that the
only tax paid by the bonds is i've per cent
on the income. The income for that quar-
ter was $27, $50, 406, upon which Eve per
cent would be %, 3T2, 520-thsts il to say,
one eighth of the capital of the country
paid 81, 300, 900, while the seven eighths
paid SI23, 0OO, 000. Active capital enga-
ged in business, requiring labor to make it
pr06tables supporting men, women and
children, and giving health to the CONNER
cial and social system, and liable 70 TeVer-
ses and losses, paid seventeen times Is
much, dollar for dollar, a. the dead, mac.
/ tive capital of the bondhelder, which,
without labor and without loss, brought
him six per cent interest In gold. .,t

THE BEAUTIFUL. SNOW.

Oh the snow. the beautiful snow
Filling the sky aud the earth below,
over the house tops. the street,
over the Heads OF the people you meet
Dancing,
Flirting.
Skimmiug along
Beautiful snow it can do ne wrong!
Flying 10 kiss n fair laiy's CT eek:
ChnginG 10 lips in n frolicsome freak;
Beautiful snow. from the heavens above,
Pure as an angel and fckle as love-
Oh the snow. the beautiful snow
@ low the iiaSes gathes and laugh as they SO!
WhIrling about in marideniug fun,
II plays inits gee with every one.
Chasing,
Laughing.
Hurrying by,
II lights mp the face, and it spark les the eye;
And even the dogs, with bark and bound,
Snap at the crystals that eddy around;
The town is alive and its heart in a glow
To welcome the coming of the beautiful snow!
How the wild crowd goes swaying along
flaliii each other with humor anG song!
now the gay sIedges. like meteors, pas by.
Bright for the moment. then lost to the eye!
Ringing,
Over the crest of the beautiful snow
Snow 90 pure when it falls from the sky
To be tramped in the mud by the crowd rushing by ;
To be tracked aud trsmped by the thousands Of feet
I'LL IL blends with the filth of the horrible street.
Once was pure as the snow-tut felli
Fell. like the snow flakes, from heaven to helll
fell 70 be trampled a. fifth Of the street!
Fell, to be scoled at to be spit on, and beat!
Pleading,
CurSing,
Dreading to die;
Selling nv soul to whoever would buy;
beating in shame tor morsel Of bread;
Hating the living and fearing the dead:
Merciful God have fallen so low?
And yet was once like the beautiful snow
Once was fair the beautiful snow
with an eye like its crystal, heart like its glow;
Once was loved for my innocent grace
Flattered and sought for the charm Of my face
Father.
Mother
Sister, all,
God and myself have lost by my fall
The veriest wretch that goes shivering by
Will take wide sweep, lest wander too nigh 4;
There is nothing that's pure but the beautiful
How strange it sh' ud be that the beautiful snow
Should fall on sinner with nowhere to go
How strange it should be when the night comes again
Ii the snow and the ice struck my desperate braiu
Painting,
Freezing.
Dying alone!
Too wicked for prayer. too weak FOR my moan
To be heard in the crash of the crazy town
Gone mad in their joy at tue SHOWS coming down;
To lie and To die in my terrible woe,
With bed and a shroud of the beautiful snow

a boy, We remember one night at Singing
School, an old widcwer SHE'D up to the pret-

home. The young lady drew herself away
from the man in her haughtiest manner, and
Kissed through her teeth No, Sir" which
would have killed sensitive man. Not so
our widower. In the blandest and most cour-
teous manner he said:
= "Perhaps, Miss B.. you did not understand
/whar said -
With look Of infinite loa,hng the young
lady vouchsafed to say. Il believe sir, you
requested to accompany me home"
1t was the widower's turn now. Drawing
himself up haughtily and scornfully, be in
