are comparatively but few ministers that sort
out their congregation. Some believe in Di-
vine sovereignty, and let God retail it In His
providence. Here the students testified their
appreciation by prolonged laughter Mr..
Beecher then told them how he made his own
sermons. They are always made on typical
cases. When he knows of quarrel between
two people he studies their different natures,
and a sermon grows out of it, and without
single allusion to the case, the work is done,
for he strlues to elevate their whole tempera-
ment, so as to bring to their mind the ugliness
of the quarrel. Study each of your congrega-
ton. Preaching is picking out men, and then
aiming right between the eyes, and if you don't
hit, don't blame any body but yourself. -

Some of his flock are overjoyed at it, and, said |
Mr. Beecher, humorously, they say to him,

The Tax Bill.


Somebody proposes the following new amend
ments to the tax bill: r.
For kissing pretty girl, one dollar.
For kissing q homely one two dollars-the
extra amount being added probably for the
man s folly. a5
For ladies' kissing one another, two dollars
The tax IS placed at this rate in order to break
up the custom altogether, it being regarded by
our Nj. T.. S as a piece of inexcusable absur-
dity.r
For every Irritation, ten cents.
Every young man who has more than one
girl is taxed five dollars
For courting in the kitchen, twenty-five cents
Courting in romantic place, five dollars, and
fifty cents thereafter.

cents

five cents-The proceeds to be devoted to the
relief of disabled army chaplains.
For Ladies who paint, fifty cents
For wearing low-necked dress, one dollar.
For each curl On lady's head above ten, FIVE
cents.
For any unfair device for entrapping men in
to matrmony, five dollars.
For wearing hoops larger than eight feet in
circumference, eight cents for each hoop
Old bachelors over thirty are taxed ten dol
lars, and banished to Utah.
Each pretty lady is to be taxed from twenty
five cents to twenty-five dollars; she is to fix
the estimate Of her own beauty It is thought
very large amount is to be realized from this
provision. -9t si42

At the close of the Rev Mr.. Fulton lecture
last evening, at the Music Hall. the Rev. Gil
bert Haven introduced him to several ladies
who were upon the platform, among others to
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe That LADY refused to
shake hands with him, and said
You professed to be Christian minister
Sir, and you have reviled woman
Better do that madam replied he, "than
to revile Jesus Christ
I never reviled Jesus Christ, she said
y ou have done your best to do it, said he
Sir, she responded, you have played the
part of a dramatist and a buffoon y
Madam said he, 'your birth, your educa-
ton, and your position in society should have
made a lady of you.
She replied DO you mean to say, sir, that
am not lady?"
i mean to say, madam said he, that you
act like an outrageous exception
At this point Mrs. Livermore and Mrs Stone
Blackwell took up the conversation, and Mrs.
Howe withdrew.

All the bright and sunny hours,
And the green and leafy bowers,
With the summers latest flowers.
Gtf Are faded now;
And the brow
Of the .waning year -
Has been tNned with dying leaves;
And the gaiaAering sheaves
Tell us Autumns here.
.e Now the winds go loudly moaning
Through the wales;
And the forest trees are groaning
ea Mourful tales
Of decays that swiftly gather
Of the coming wintry weather,
Of the snow that like feather,
Soon will fall;
And the call
OF death is signing
Over all the rippling streams;
And the summers lingering CLEANS
Are sadly dying.
Tis the waning, waning twilight
Of the year
That hovers now, all strangely bright,
Round us here;
Apd soon the year will pass away,
Mke the light of an Autumn day,
,Adewn old Winters dim highway
To its tomb;
---G And the gloom
u Of the silent land
Will rest on the bright years flown; -
And the winds of time will moan
