The live man is as full of Dizziness AZ
the conductor of a street-car; he is often,
like hornet, very bizzy; but about what

He lites up like cotton factory, and

He is like decoy duck, always above
the water, at least eighteen months during
the year.
He is like a runaway hoss-he gets the
whole of the road.
He is the American pet, perfect mys,

charooaD to work out the greatness of this
country than any other man in it.
He don't always die rich but always
meets death like an oyster, without any

TAXING FARMERs.-The recent decision
OF the Commissioner of Internal Rev nue.
taxing farmers and Others who bring thei
produce to market and sell from stalls, as
produce brokers, has created some excite
mcht If continued the decision will drive
away from our markets all small dealers,
who will be compelled to sell to middle
men and large dealers, to the prejudice of
the consumers. According to this decision
farmer may peddle his produce from the
wagon, along the streets, but if he pays stall
rent at a market-house, he must also pay u
license. We are glad to say that move
has been made in Congress to change the
law on this biect.--Jedersmaian.

In the years long ago,
Aud while the western sky was rich
With sunsets rosy glow,
Then hand in hand close linked we pas, ~
The dewy ricks between.
And | was one snd-twenty, May.
And you we're seventeen.
The Spring was in our hearts, Mary,
And all its hopes were ours;
And we were children in the fields
Among the opening flowers.
Aye! Life was like Summer day
Amid the woodlands green.
For was onc-and-twenty, May,
And you were seventeen.
The years have come and gone, Mary,
With sunshine and with shade,
And silvcred is the silken hair
That DER your shoulders strayed
In many a soft and hayward tress--
The farest ever seen-
When was one-and twenty, May.
And you were teycnteen.
Though gently changing Time, Mary,
Has touched YOU in his flight,
Your voice has still the old sweet tone,
Your eye the old love light
And years can never, never change
The heart you gave wcen,
When l was one.and twenty, May,
And you were seventeen.

We have no expectation TINT anything
like Il system uG national education will be
established by Congress, thOug b many
worse things have been done and may be
done again hy Congress. But there is
great force in the views which Senator
Wiley has presented. Education is rs
truly national interest us the Postal
system or the common dctences Of the
country. II Is true, ii can be attended TO
by the States; hut It isalsO true that many
States have thus iar wholly neglected it
and the entire republic has suffered from
this neglect. This neglect, II 1t goes on,
will virtually Hnnul the benefits Of the
great measures we have adopted. We
have conferred the elective franchise and
other high trusts Of citizenship, upon
nearly the whole male population of the
country of adult Ngc. What good can
this do either to them or to this republic,
unless they also have intelligence enough
to fulfill tic trusts which arc thus commit
