guiding and sustaining care by the.
fierce havoc of war finds no privilege
for its earnings and possession against
the grasp of taxation. The veteran of
the entire conflict, who has returned

And when the citizen. of this ILL
governed land, whether he has been a
soldier in the field or a laborer at
home passes away from this scene of
treadmill slavery, he invokes in vain
the shelter of the tomb. Between the
chamber that was darkened for the
closing moments. and the quiet ceme-
terry on the hill, mis- unburied remains
are made to pay tribute for the brief
passage. The snowy shroud that COW
ers him up for his long sleep, and the
coffin and the screws, and the screw
driver which fastens down the lid
over the still, cold face have ali paid
taxes which now fall on the earnings
of the dead within. And when all is
over, and friends turn away and leave
him alone forever in his dark and mar
row bed, the. officer of the revenue
still plies his trade in the midst of the
broken household. The letters of adj
ministration, the bond, the inventory,
the bill of sale, the report, all pay toll
to privileged wealth as the estate pro-

dismal drama by paying heavy tax

The NosE.-The nose acts like
custom-house office to the system. it
is highly sensitive to the odor of the
most poisonous substances. 1t readily
detects hemlock, henbane, monks

prussic acid 1T recognizes the fetid
smells of drains, and warns us not to
smell the polluted air., The nose is so
sensitive that air containing a 100000
part of bromine vapor will instantly
be detected by it; it will recognize
the 1,3O0O0Oth part of a grain of
the otto of roses, or the $1,000, ,00Oth
part ofa grain of muskl it tells us in.
the morning that our bed rooms are
impure, and catches the first fragrance
of the morning air, and inhales their
sweet breath. To be led by the nose

and to follow It's guidance, is. one of
the safest and shortest ways to the
enjoyment of health.

A LEE TIE TOO SMART.-OldR Rum-
feldt was a well-to-do farmer of Stew
art county, Tenn. He was regular in
attendance at Court at Dover, but sell
dom turned his face homeYard until
he had swallowed more whisky than
his skin could well hold. or his legs
could conveniently carry. On one oc-
casion he got on his level early, and
about the middle of hot July eve
ming started for home. BE had not
gone far, however, when he was seized.
with an uncomfortable desire to take
. nap. He dismountedf from his horse
turned him lose to, Craze, and rolled
himself into fence corner. BE was
sleeping very sweetly, when he was
espied by Buzzard, which was salt
ing about in the vicinity, hunting fforf
something to eat. Smaller and smaller
grew. the circles of his d victim, eau
tiously taking observation. At, last
but still in some doubt, the bird Lit on
the ground near its expected feast.

About this time Rumfelt became
aware that something was going on,
and he partially opened one eye and
saw the buzzard, but was still too
drunk to- take any active measures to
drive 1t away. He however kept a
close watch. The buzzard .strutted
around him, all the time inspecting
Rumfeldt closely and cautiously to as
certain positively that he was dead ),
he finally became satisfied that the
corpus before him was indeed car
cass, and consequently " his meat"
whereupon he advanced deliberately
at Rumfeldt's head, and gave him a
severe peck in the face. This aroused
Rumfeldt, and striking out lazily
with his hand to prevent q repetition
of the attack, he exclaimed, |" Look
'ere here-yoa're 1-e-e-tle too damned
SMART ANT dead yet."a 81 j

AaT OF PRINT1NG.-It is just about
four hundred years since books began
to be printed with movable types.
This was wonderful Improvements
over the method of printing from
words cut on solid blocks. But your
old fashioned volume even when
executed with movable letters, pre-
sented very different appearance
from the modern publication. 1t was
printed on one side of the sheet
There was no attempt at punctuation
except by a perpendicular straight
line which stood like a post between
one sentence and another. There was
no comma, semicolon, colon, or full
point. 1t was more than two hum
dred years after the art of printing
became general that seicolons were
introduced. Shakespeare knew moth
ing of their use, which is the cause
of so much obscurity in certain pass
ages in his works. 1f

EFFECT OF THE FAMINE IN JERUSALEM
A letter has been received in London
from the Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem
which corroborates the statement made
on this painful subject by Sir MOSES
MoNTEFIoRE. The bishop in his letter
says:
"a small donkey's load of water costs
Cd to the poor Jews whose family income
is Is Id per week. Many Moslcms and
nominal Christians are in the same po-
siiion. What is most dreadful to con-
template is the fact that the springs
near Jerusalem are drying up. But
there is another more terrible calamity
still. The locusts are spread over the
valley of Jordan, and in the plain of
Sharon and GaiIce, having come to lay
their eggs, which will be hatched before
the harvest, and as the Arabs say that
each couple lay two hundred eggs count
less millions will appear, eating every
green thing, poisoning tho ground, and
thus preventing grass growing for the
cattle"
