UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE
The assessors Of internal revenue are very
busily engaged in registering the name of
everybody in every branch Of business for
license tax. All are liable to registration,
and will be arbitrarily assessed if they do
not see that they are properly assessed.
All should comply with the requests of the
assessors. 1t costs nothing to 60 to the
Office, but it may if you wait for them to
hunt you up; and there is no lodging
them, for they have detectives everywhere
nowadays in the departments. You need
not pay your license before the lst of May
unless you wish to do SO. If paid now you
will obviate the crowds around the collec-
tors Office at that time. But it is necessary
to register in the assessors Office, and that
promptly, for the books will be closed be-
fore long.
The assessors report the names of 100 de-
linquents to annual income out Of several
thousand returns. These gentlemen had
better be making terms with the officers by
going early and often until they are re-
leased from the penalties.

One large travelling trunk held every

man as a poor one. Half the ener-
gy displayed in keeping ahead that is
required to catch up when behind
will save credit, give more time to at
tend to business, and add to the profit
and reputation OF those who work for
gain. Be prompt. keep your word,
honor your engagements. If you
promise to meet man, or do GER
tain thing at a certain moment, be
ready at the appointed time. If you
go out on business attend promptly to
the matter on hand, then as promptly
go about your own business. Do not

nothing of. Never buy an article you
do not need simply because it is cheap,
and the man who sells it will take it
out in trade. Trade is money. Strive

ties. Do not kick every stone in the
path; more miles can be made in day

to kick. Pay as you go. A man Of

others when you can, but never give
when you cannot afford to, simply be-
cause it is fashionable. Learn to say
no. No necessity for swapping it out

spectfully. Have but few confidants,
and the fewer the better. Use your
own brains rather than those of others.
Learn to think and act for yourself.
Be vigilant. Keep ahead rather than
behind the time. Young men cut this
out, and If there be folly in the argu-
ment, let us know.

We are all ashamed to confess that
our quickest instincts are to think ill Of

hear. There is a universal struggling of

Yet who is there that carries not this

The Tower Of Babel.

A writer describes the present ap-
pearance of the place where languages
got mixed AFTER ride Of nine miles,
we were at the foot Of the Bier-Nimrood.
Our horses feet were trampling upon
the remains of bricks which showed
here and there through the accumulated
dust and rubbish of ages. Before our
eyes uprose q great mound of earth,
barren and bare. This was Bier>Nim-
rood, the ruins of the Tower of Babel,
by which the first builders Of the earth
had vainly hoped to scale high heaven
Here, also, it was that Nebuchadnezzar
built, for bricks bearing his name have
been found in the ruins. At the top of
the mound great mass Of brick-work
pierces the accumulated soil. With
your finger you touch the very bricks
large, square shipped, and massive
that were thoroughly burned, the very
mortar, now bard as granite, handled
more than 1000 years ago by earth's i'm
pious people. From the summit of the
mound, far away over the plain, We zee

Ali. To pray before this at some peri

the earth around there at some time or
other; to bend his body and count his
beads, is the daily desire of every de-
vout Mohamedan."

Animal sagaoity at the North.

According to the Esquimaux, the
seal constructs its habitAtion beneath
the surface of the ice in such q manner
that it can enter il from the water be-
low; here the young seal passes its in
fancy, and when the returning heat Of
Summer has destroyed its igloo or
dwelling, the young seal is old enough
to take care Of itself; but this mode of
lodging its young beneath the ice is
well known 10 the bear, who with its
keen sense soon detects the whereabouts
OF the seals nursery, and in order 10
gain an entrance, the bear, retiring
short distance, makes q spring, and
comes down with all his weight on the
roof Of the fgloo, brushes it in. and inn
mediately seizes the young seal with its
paw. Here it might be supposed the
hungry bear at once devours his prey
but no, it is far too wary to do SO; it
knows full well that where . babe is,
there must be mother. and that she
will be in search Of her darling, there.
fore the bear scrapes away the snow
from the seal hole, and holding the
young seal by the firper, allows it to
founder about, and when the mother
approaches, the bear slyly draws the
young seal towards it until the old one
is within reach, when he seizes it with
the other paw, and thus captures both.
The mode in which the bear captures
the seal on the ice is very similar to
that followed by the Esquimaux. When
at distance from the seal, the bear
throws itself down aud stealthily crawls
or bitches along towards the seal, and il
the seal looks up it lies perfectly still,
and makes at the same time noise
which lulls the seal; the bear repeats
the operation until it approaches its
victim SO near that escape is impossible,
when it falls prey to Bruins appetite.
Another Id ode of obtaining food by the
bear is to watch from cliff the move
ments OF the walrus, who are fond Of
summing themselves on the rocks, and
when one Of these has taken up con-
venient position for the bears purpose,
the latter lifts large piece of rock, and
with astonishing accuracy, throws it
down on tho animals head. If the wal
rus is only stunned, the bear runs down,
and with the rock hammers its victim
on the head until it is dead When at
tempting to capture seal in water, the
bear sinks his body beneath the surface
of the sea, leaving only the head above
water, which resembles piece of float
ing ice; when the seal raises its head
above the surface. Bruin quietly sinks,
and swimming under the seal seizes it.

WILL SICKNESS MAKE US RELIaIoUs?-
One should think said friend to the
celebrated DR.. Samuel Johnson, that
sickness and the view Of death would
make men more religious Sir re-
piled johnson, they do not know how
to go about it, They have not the first
notion. A man who has never had re-
ligion before, no more grows religious
when he is sick, than a man who has
never learned figures can count when he
has need of calculation
