A man who had several apprentices
was accustomed to feed them quite large
sly on bean soup. This was all well
enough at first, but after little while,
with each successive soup, a smaller num-
ber of beans appeared. One day at ta-
Bile, after the good man had said grace
over it, Ia Squeers, one of the boys, af-
tera scrutinizing examination of the dish,
was seen suddenly to rise from his
chair; and commence to strip. "What
are you about there, Tom?" exclaimed
tho master. Coin to dive for a bean p
was thereby.

Leaf by leaf, the roses fall. Yelp

one are ferried o'er and the white

funeral. AT present rates, the jer-

of summer, will ere long be ours
".All our blooming associates are
faded and gone" to happiness of the
connubialistie type. A few years
since, noble band of handsome and
high aspiring friends, stood around
us-fresh, bright, verdant young
plants. The matrimonial simeon
swept over the plain--and where are
they now? Smitten, blasted, cut
down like the grass of the field, which
to-day is, and tomorrow is made in
to hay to feed q donkey, or line goose
nests! Faded, withered, dry enough
for pea-sticks. Alas! alasl what has
got into the youth of the land !?
Caught by a giggle, SEQ how they
wriggle! In vain do we expostulate
and warn them. The tinklc ola quit

emily merrilnent, comes floating on
the air and the admonitory roar of

Heedlessly, needlessly, scorning in
struction, onward they're rushing,
surging and pushing, down to destruc-

to the same. The young, the brave,

is preparing itself, down even to the

BILE reception of its foe. If gunpow-

within the last two days than has
been the case for years. Their uses
under contingencies, which it is mex
pedient to name, their size and value
as repositories, are all canvassed ca
gerly, and nothing shows more plain
ly the anticipations of the people of
Paris than the keen interest they dis
play in such topics as these.

TARIFF ExToRrIoN.

The present Radical tariff, enacted
at the dictation of Pennsylvania and
New England monopolists, and by the
votes of such Ohio Radicals as Shell
labarger, Schenck, Bingham, Sherman,
Garfield are others, taxes in the most
bungling manner multitude of mere
ly ornamental products, used by the
wealthy for purposes of taste and
decoration, less than half the rate i'm
posed upon the laboring classes for
the necessaries of life. 1t is thus that
the rich grow richer and the poor
grows poorer. The Cincinnati Com
merciGl cites a number of examples
of this method of taxation, which are
not changed by the amended tariff
that goes into operation i'll January
next, BUT will remain next year to
oppress and burthen the people, Here
is the list made out by the CONNER
cial; -elf.

THOUGHTS OF GREAT MEN.
FIRST COLLECTED.

What comfort to thousands have
these precious words of jean Paul's
been Happiness sits on your
front-door steps. You need not even
go around the corner to look for it.
1t can stand a rude blast and rough
fall and it is warranted to keep in
the hottest climates. Treasure it,
pickle it, but call no man happy who
goes to rest with a single bill unpaid"
How sublime is this thought of
Goethc's: "The ocean of existence
has never yet been hydropraphed, and
its deepest secrets are past dredging
for. We gather few tender-tinted
shells, few tufts of bright weed, and
sup of costly molasses but the sea
and we are still strangers. We and
the sea make no progress, and life
sinks behind the horison, before the
bud, of acquaintance has burst into
the bloom of friendship. Walk by
the margin and listen to the waters
moaning their strange secrets to sym
pathizing stars, take another cigar
before you turn in"
Milton well knew that the expert
ence af all middle-aged men would
amply corroborate this chain of corol-
laries;
"Never exceed your income"
"Never exceed the bonds of deco
rum
Always brush your hat when you
take it off," i'i.2
BE careful how you interfere with

Here is what the Chicago Tribune,
one of the, loyal stripe of Radical pa
pers, has said about taxes: $50

rect and indirect, to the amount of
not less than ss00,OOOO0O. of this

Think of it, o, yehowling Radicals,
and ask your consciences if all can be
right with party that imposes such
taxation upon the people; and tell us,
o, We leaders of the loyal, how can
you manage to absorb the sum of
$400,000,000 in salaries? Is it true
that that amount is distributed to pri-
vate individuals and classes who con-

Three hundred and Forty Defau1ters

y
1t is not denied that $40 late Inter
nal Revenue Collectors are defaulters
that they stole the taxes, while on
their way from the pockets of the peo-
pie to the Treasury.
1t is not denied that ten of them
stole six million dollars, an average of
six hundred thousand dollars piece.
Not one of these $40 tax thieves has
been sent to the Penitentiary-nay,
not even tried or indicted.
The only excuse offered is, that
some of them were appointed by
johnson. Suppose they were? Is
that reason why they should be al
lowd to steal the peoples taxes with
impunity? ., ...
But if some of them were appoint
ed by johnson, not one of them got
him Office until confirmed by the
Senate, which had Republican ma
iority of two-thirds. We don't care
to waste words upon the question as
to how these thieves were appointed.
The question is-why does not Gen
eral Grant order them to be prosecu-
ted? Why are men who steal mil
lions, allowed to go free, while the
poor creature who steals horse, is
sent to the Penitentiary These
grave abuses call for REFORM, and Re-
form can only be brought about by
CHANGE.-Mt. Vernon Banner.

Some people seem to think that this
country is suffering for cheap labor
[ don't concur in this view. My opin-
ion is that we-or rather our posteri-
ty-are much more likely to suffer
from a redundancy of population
than from a dearth of it. In thirty
years from now we will have one
hundred millions of people, without
counting Chinese immigrant; in
sixty years, two hundred millions in

THE METROPOLITAN UNDERWORLD.


The Paris correspondent of the Ddi-
ly Ne,Us writes, under date of August
%, as follows: "You know the stage
traps in pantomime time, upon which
the guards of "The Depraved DEM
on of Dumhledownderry" comes up,
armed cap=a-pie, thirsting for the ab-
duction of maidens and the blood of
the innocents. You have seen, too,
mysterious men clad as divers or COL
liers, in huge stiff boots and blue jer-
seys, emerge from the London pave
ments, white faced and mephitic, and
and have said to yourself placidly,

as Count Smortork did Chinese and
metaphysics and you will arrive at
something far more practical than he.
What think you of the enemy enter
ing modern city by its subterranean
ways; and at given signal appearing
above ground? The chance of the
Prussians attempting this in Paris is
actually being canvassed, and the few
people who have been at the pains to
ascertain for themselves, and by nau-
seous personal experience, what the
sewers a we'll drained capital are like,
what it is to walk In them and to fol-
low their coarses, will admit the pos
sibility of vast force finding its way
below ground to any portion of city.
For example, every street in the city
of London has its hidden counter
part below. The sewer map of the
engineer to the corporation, Mr.. Hay
ward, is as complete in its general
outlines as map of the city itself,
and beneath all the larger thorough
fares men can walk erect, and in
many of them three or four abreast
The subterFanean works of Paris are
more wonderful still, and are admit
ted to surpass those of ancient Rome.
From the suburb of Asieres to the
Place de la Concorde an enormous
subway runs, which is sixteen feet
and q half high, eightheen feet broad,
and more than three miles long. Be-
sides this are below the city three
spacious galleries running Oh each
side of the Seine, the whole being
provided with air-traps at regular in
tervals, and lighted with oil lamps
Descend into either of these, and YOU

beneath the city of London, and with
facilities for cleansing Them which are
extremely suggestive of their value
for stragetioal purposes. The subter-
ranean drains, OF, galleries, are fur
nished with iron tramways, along
which small carts run, which are
pushed by three men and furnished
with a dropzplank, which fits exactly
into the drain, and pushes the mud
before as il advances. On the turbid
waters of the great collector between
Asnieres and Place de la Concoede, a
