priations is one paying twenty-seven extra
officers of the House. 1t Is further alleged by
some of the Republicans that the Democrats
desire to take an unfair advantage, by making
the Republican party alone responsible for the
bill, instead of lending helping hand to its
passage.
The exact form in which the bill was defeated
was by the refusal of the Senate TO adopt the
report of its conference committee II is barely
possible that this refusal may be reconsidered.
Even If the bill should fail, the government will
not stop, although the charitable organizations
would get no funds.
There was much excitement to-day about the
revised Tax bill, imposing tax on OIL coal, and
whisky, although no efforts were made to pass it
through the Senate. Desperate exertions were
privately made to secure enough votes TO ensure
its success. 1t engineered by one of the
most wealthy, shrewd, and energetic men in
Pennsylvania, but there is every prospect to-
night that it will be defeated, as the members
fear that its provisions will be unpopular among
the masses. An attempt was made to combine
the strength of the two most powerful railroad
corporations of the State to aid the bill, and, as
an inducement a provision was inserted re-
lieving the comp anies from taxation. They re-
fused, however, to enter into the alliance. The
bill may perhaps be dead, but it is certainly not
yet buried.

thousand in our land, who are vending
their way toward drunkstG' : doom, CON.
psr,IveIy few are relormed-onIy here
and there one is saved. The deceptive
power Of appetite and habit like some
evil spIIl, blindfolds its capuves, leading
them speedily on 10 uIIer ruin. Com
panions IN dissipation encourage and en-
bolden one another, and ptesenta united
front against saving influences. Togeth.
er they drown The vOIcs OF SdmonllOn IN
the cup, together they cheer the way to
death with songs Of revrIry, and iOrnIy
their hearts against God and sslvatinn by
rIdlcule OF lrue and serious things. Thus
they are held fast under the bonds Of mi
guilty. The mother sees her son in the
path Of the destroyer. and goes after him
with prayers and pleading tears. but alas,
the bands Of sin have already grown too
strong for ,he ties OF fihal sfertion. The
son revels on. though he knows he is
minglng for her the cup oI unut.erable

For people will talk, you know people

If quiet and modest, you'll have it pre-

Tha, your humble position is only assum-

You're wolf in sheeo's clothing, or else
you're fool
But don'l get exciled-keep perfectly cool.
II generous ard noble, they'll vent out
their spleen,
You'll hear some loud limits that you're
selfish and mean
II upright and honest, and fair as the day,
You'll hear some base hints in a sly,
sneaking way.
And, then, if you show the least boldneSs
OF heart,
Or slight inclination 10 take your own
part,
They'll call you an upstar', concei'ed and
Blu, keep straight ahead, and don't stop TO
explain.
If threadbare your coat, or old-fsshion'

Some one of course will take notice of that
And hint rather strong that you can't pay

But don't get excited whatever they say.
II you dress in the fashion, don't think to
