There Il, We hear, strong probability that
the Finance Committee of the Senate will bring
IN a measure Of their own instead of reporting
for The action Of their body the combined tax
and tariff bill which passed the House a few days
ago. This is manifestly the proper course to
pursue. The action of the House in strik-
ing out the clause taxing the gross receipts
of railway companies-thus donating about
100000 to those corporations which ought
to 90 into the national treasury-was such as to
make the members OF that body liable to the
charge Of being too much under the influence of
the railway lobby. The Senate cannot afford to
lay Itself open to any such imputation. Ii il
que 10 itself and to the country that it should
restore the missing clause, and insist to the last
on RS passage. No tax can be collected easier,
and none is felt less by the people.

The BURIAL OF Mr.. DICKENs-we learn
by the cable that at six O'Clock yesterday morn
ing the remains OF Charles Dickens were con-
yeyed from his late residence at Gadshill by
train to Charing Gross Station, where thew
were met by a plain hearse, without the
usual English trappings, and three plain
coaches In the first coach were placed the
children Of the deceased, Charles and Harry
Dickens, Miss Dickens, and Mrs. Charles Col
lns. In the second were Miss Hogarth, sister
ln-IaW, and Mrs. Austen, sister of Mr.. Dickens
MI Charles Dickens, Jr., and John Forster. In
the third coach were Frank Beard, Charles
Collins, Mr.. Owery, Wilkie Collins and Ed
mund Dickens. The entire party were attIred
in deep but simple mourning, without bands or
searfs.
There was no crowd at Charing Gross Station.
and the procession was driven at once to West
minister Abbey, where the remains were re-
ceived by Dean Stanley and other officials, and
placed IN the Poets Corner" at the foot Of
Handel and at the head Of Sheridan, with
Macaulay and Cumberland on either side. The
usual flowers were strevn upon the bier. Dean
Stanley read the burial service, when the coffin
was deposited in its final resting-plaee, and the
funeral of Charles Dickens was ended Upon
the eofiD-plate were inscribed the words:
" Charles Dickens Born February It'll, 1872.
Died June 9th, 1870"
Ii IL stated that thousands of citizens crowded
the Abbey during the day to look upon the spot
where the great novelist sleeps; and we NAV
add. that Of all the tombs of EngIand's great
men, none viii be visited oftener or gazed upon
With more tender accommodating this gen
GRAFTON, at least,-than that of Charles Dickens.

SuImTUAL MARRIAGE.-Thc Piqua(O)
Journal is responsible for the following
"a widow lady named Mrs. W., who
is a convert to spiritualism, became con.
v;Lccd that her affinity was embodied in
the spirit of a gentleman who died nearly
two years ago, and she accordingly
sought the counsel of u lady medium, all
so u resident Of the codnty scat, who adj
yised her to be at once united in wedlock
to the deceased. Strange as it may SEEM
Mrs. w. made preparations for such an
event, and at the time appointed made
her appearance at the house of the medi-
um arrayed in bridal attire. After plac.
ing herself in communication with the splr-
it of the departed gentleman, the medium
performed the ceremony, and pronounced
the two man aud wife, after which Mrs.
w. received the congratulations OF seve.
raj friends present, and returned to hel
own residence, where a sumptuous repast
was served in honor Of the event."
The Journal editor is Of the opinion
that the heroine in this singular affair
will soon sigh for something more substan
tial than a spiritual husband.

Miscellany.
Behavior I'm Church.

Mr. Beccher is making very lively
paper Of the Christian Union. Here is a
paragraph on behavior in church, which
has a secular application.
We may classify the petty inciyilities
of church life thus:
l. SmelLS.-Violent perfumes, espec-
iallEs those containing ,ilssI, wrc tlissgiee-
ILL 20 rIUsr persons, and to some positive
ly distressing. There is no smell so uni
versally pleasing as no smell. Never
scout yourself when going into Il crowded
assembly. The same is true of the resid-
uary smell Of tobacco which hangs about
the garments and a6licts the breath OF
these who habitually smoke. But 'tobac
co almost invariably makes men self III
dulgcnt and regardless Of others inconven-
icncc. More brutal yet, are they who 60
to church reoking, like Dutchman's
soup, with the smell Of onions. There are
scores of people who have lost all prsft
Of Sunday service by the sickening
smells which surrounded them.
.. Sounds. Whispering in church,
during the service, is an affront to polite
ness. Much of the coughing which goes
on in church arises from the poison
Gus. gases and personal cfluyia which cx-
lists in unvcntilated churches, But the
power Of the will over the muscles which
do the coughing IS very great. A heed
less person will cough twice as much as is
needful-wll cough at the worst time pos
sible, will cough plump upon the nccks of
those before him, instead Of embalming
the sound in his handkerchief as, with a
little skill and politencss, he might easily
do. We would not forbid men who cam
not sing to ''make 4 joyful noise"-but it
should be softly noise. In all cases
when it is a mans duty to sleep iu church,
it is his duty also to snore with the soft
pedal down.

body. True, you cannot help beng be-
fore somebody unless you are on the back
seat. But with Il little thought you may
very much help those behind you. Any
conduct which shall divert the attention OF
those from the service, such as ostentatious
playing with a watch, or opening and
shutting it, reading books or papers, lcok-
ing about nquisitiyely, is impoIite.
Many churches have the Ten Command
monts set up on the wall, in sight Of the
whole congregation; although not one Of
the sins reprobated therein is likely to be
committed i'll church time. Would it not
be well to have another tablet cnumerat.

nit in church time?

Improvement. m I TSriGSv

There has been very great change
for the better in the homes Of all classes
of our people within the last thirty years.
We think quite large share of this i'm
proyement is found in the strictly rural
districts, and is fairly the result of the
opportunities and privileges of agricutu-
raj life.
The average rural parish is the equal
of the city parish in intelligence, in good
morals and piety. Social life has not so
much show and brilliancy, but quite as
much soldid happiness The children
coming up in the country have much
better chance of sound health, of good
education, and Of useful career in life
The division Of labor, br9ught about by
the introduction of manufacturers, has bIest
the farmer almost as much as any other
class. lie no longer provides his own
clothing or makes his own furniture. lie
can buy cheaper.
The thrifty farmer of the older States
has an architect to build his house, and
there is taste displayed in the bull ling
and in its surroundings. lie knows i
good deal about fruits and flowers, and
what he does not know lis wife or daught
ter does. The flower border is quite uT
to the town Standard The upholstery
may not be quite so a ltractiyc, but the
floors are carpeted, and the windows have
blinds aud curtains quite enough for cheer
tuness and health. The table is neatI,
spread, and the chinawarc aud other ap
pointments come from the same manutac
tories that furnish city homes. The cook
cry, especially that part Of it furnished
by the mistress of the mansion, is abovO
the average in cities. Pianos and melo
dians arc very common, and the sam
songs are heard there as in the town am
they are sung about as well. Profession
al singers do not go to the Country 70
their audiences, but the country comes t
them and furnishes fair share of thei
appreciative listeners aud admirers. Their
is leisure in the country, time for readin
and reflection, plenty Of newspapers an
magazines, and the village library has it
numerous patrons in farmers homes.
Farm life in this age of railroads an
steamers is quite different from the Iii
led by our fathers. 1t moves in the righ

The Nation liycs-Jehoyah' power

The Union liges-with strength renewed
It's foes are humbcd and subdued
Tho artful, subtle, active, strong
To purpose and sustain the wrong.
The Nation livcs--tho' foreign foes

But they are foilcd, Jehovah reigns
And still the Nltion's ife sustains.
The Nation lives Its strength and power

Designed that liberty might die,

To which they all must justly come
The Nation lives; il shall not die
