What Do You Expect?

In the darkest crisis OF the late
war, lady stood by the bedside Of
a soldier in Philadelphia.
Wounded, pallid, grim and gaunt,
the tears chased each other over his
face, as he gave to her the messages
of love, which she was writing for
him to wife and little ones. By de.
grees she found out all about him
his aged father, his brave womanly
wife, his boys, and the little brown
home in the green mountains
Don't you feel discouraged she
said. Don't you feel as if all your
sufferings and loneliness has been
in vain? Are you not going to ask
for discharge, and go homer

the man looked her in the face with

YETI
What do you expect, soldier of
Christ? Are you weary, wounded,
hard pressed in the fight with sin:
Do You seem to be always on the
losing side? Yet you have enlisted
for life, and your charges are paid
for the war. As you follow the BAN
ner, its red cross burning upon its
field of snow, think of the simple
mountaineer who, when he began a
thing, calculated to finish it. = II

Report of a Committee ON the Working
OF the Social Evil Law, etc.

ST. LOUIS, April 4.-The committee of the
board of health to examine into the workings of
the social evil law made an elaborate report last
night, from which the following facts were
taken: The whole number of prostitutes regis
tered when the law went into operation was lis
number now registered, 4S0-a decrease of 29S.
Number of houses of ill fame in the city when
the law went into effect, 119; number now, 90,
Number of inmates diseased at first, So; num-
Der now, Is. Since registration, 800 women
have been added to registry, making a total
number in the city OF 947, which makes the
actual decrease of this class of women 46S.
The report further states that the general SAN
itary condition of these women has been greatly
improved under the operation of the law. OF
the total number of women registered, il has
been ascertained that 702 became prostitutes
from choice, 101 because they were seduced. 81
because their husbands treated them badly. and
81 from necessity. Thenumber of men seeking
the society of these women has been decreased
since the law went into effect, Notwithstanding
the increased immunity from disease
This is attributed, however, mainly to the fact
that the men seeking such society are taken
more notice Of by the officers of the law. The
report also states that the whole number of
cases Of venerial diseases treated ut The hospital
and charitable institutions of the city for eight
months previous TO the passage of the social
evil law, was $50, and the number treated in the
same institutions for the eight months the law
has been importation, is ia, showing decrease
OF Seyenty-one per cent.

A NOVEL MODE OF RESISTING TAXATION.
A novel mode of resisting taxation has Just
been displayed at Annoy, China. OF all articles
in common use, salt is one of the most neces-
sary, and considerable excitement was therefore
caused by the announcement that the new salt
tax would be levied to supplement the local war
fund. "Reminiscences proving unavailng, the
shop keepers of the entire city determined to
close their shops until the obnoxious impost was
removed. On given day, accordingly, up went
the shutters. Not bit of meat, or bread, or
rice could be obtained for love or money. Mat
tiers were getting serious, so the four chief mag
istrates patrolled the streets in person. attended
by their runners and ordered the people to open
Their shops The order was instantly obeyed,
but no sooner had the officials gone few yards
further than up went eshutterS again. This con-
tinued three days, people getting more and more
excited, until at length riot broke out in which
the office of the salt department was broken into
and looted" the mob winding up by entirely
demolishing the building. As an illustration of
the thorough manner in which the unwashed
went to work, may notice that even the red
umbrella of state, carried before the salt COM
missioner on his official visits, was taken pos
session of and sold by some daring opponent of
tue unconstitutional tax. There was no resist

Deihg unpopular, SO proclamation was drawn
up and circulated by runners, stating that it
would not be insisted upon. Down came every

unknown nuisances. There are not many conn
Tries were illegal exactons can be so effectually

claiming republican majority of 144 in Siam
ford, which is, perhaps, only 104. The Times

lutely certain, as other errors are suspected. A
majority is required for an election. and posi-
bly, there are scattering votes enough to throw
the election into the legislature.

fTLsn you see a fellow mortal

With abjeet, uncovered head,
Ready to retract or wsser.
Willing to be drove or led,
Walk yourself with firnier bearing,
Throw your moral shoulders back.
Show your spine has nerve and marrow,

In the ring or at the polls,
With no sterling manhood in him,
Nothing stable, broad or ballast,
Doubls-sided all around;

Throw your moral shoulders back,
Show your spine has nerve and marrow,
