"Tbat sewer Tax"

lrOr the spy.
The aldermen sat in their plush-coyerad chairs
The mayor he sat at their head
And sOlemny pondered our city affairs
And how TO assess the proportionate shares
Of that tax for the sewer" they said.
Now this was job not so easy to do,
ANA one full of bother and worry
For time must be taken TO look the thing through,
And cipher the problem and make it come true;-
Plainly, not to be dOne in hurry.
But aldermen they are not chosen for that,
Their pay is in honor, not money;
In dignited way, and with leisHrely chat,
They go through the motions, and nOurish their fat
Aud (f possiblel sometimes are funny
So how to dispose of the elephant which
Had been left on their hands, was the query;
and pondering much on that terrible ditch,
And meeting with many q troublesome hitch,
They soon of the subject grew weary.
Then his honor sereney suggested plan,
That seemed TO the aldermen easy;
But as soon as the sewer abutters began
In earnest this wonderful method to scan,
The city grew suddenly breezy;
For a very queer meaning it seemed to affix
10 the phrase, g a proportiOnate share;"
u was as though three We're equal to six:
Hence, very large number of trOpcalS kicks
Was bestowed on his honor, the mayor.
The Browns and the Joneses, the Whites and the
Blacks,
And, besides them, a host of abutters,
Straightway for the city hall portal made tracks,
And loudly denounced the ubiquitous tax
Which on them had been laid for their cutters.
All! then, to their sorrow the aldermen and
His Honor soon made the discovery,
That the sewer device so amazingly planned
IN official perditiOn was likely TO land
Them beyond any hope of recovery
Now in closing, piece of advice will give;
Yea, rather impressively utter;
II you wouldn't be sifted as in fine sieve
If an alderman's adipose life you would live,
Don't be hard on tine sewer abutter
. Az.
.NoTE.-The intelligent reader will perceive that
this word is used in rhetorical rather than ca
Orical sense albeit the warmth of his feelings en-
gendered by the depth of his interest in the sewer
might incline him to prefer the latter meaning.

GPsIEs IN ENGLAND.-As soon as the leaf is
on the willow, and the sweetscented blossoms
of the May tree make their appearance in the
hedge rows of England, then the gipsies bestir
themselves to get out of their crowded winter
haunts in the large cities. They have Inherited
the passion for nature from ancestors
older than any stock in England. The gipsy is
no Egyptian, nor Bohemian, nor ancient Chris
tan driven out of the east by the Saracen, as the
French tale goes. He is HindoO of the abo-
riginal type-hiS dialect is full, in every land, of
broken words from Indian roots; his hatred of
houses, his airy contempt Of dirt; his scorn of
books and schools, his tuIn for pillering, his
rooted timidlty and cunning, and his addicted
ness 10 vivinatiOn and black arts, are all antique
legacies from an Asiatic source.
The Danes call the wanderers "Tartars," the
Germans "Hciden" or heathen, the French
'B0hemianS, and their own word "Romany'
is corrupted Sanskrit for Il husband" But all
the other names, Zi@ani, Zlugari, Tchingenes
GitanOS, and CZigauy are infections of the
right title "Zincalf' Meaning "Men of India"
He who has seen the Briniari and Bheel tribes
OF that peninsula has seen the first cousins of
the European gipsieS; and the likeness between
them and the rowing people of Beloocbstan,
and at the mouth of the Indus, is perfectly sur
prsing.
There exists, indeed, an old legend that the
ancestors Of this singular race were the inhab-
itants of village Of lower Egypt, to which
child. The iugitives were refused admission
TO its inhospitable walls, and thereupon a voice
was heard from the sky crying: "Those who
shut love out shall be shut out from love-" AT
ter this the doom of perpetual wandering, with
ceaseless ill-treatment from all men, fell upon
the offenders and their posterity. The story
is pretty, but it is not true. In these dark
skinned Romantics we undoubtedly see verta-
bic Asiatics; and that incurable love of wild
life and free air, which they everywhere dis
play, is the deep-rooted relies OF their an
cent nomad existence ON the hills and plains of
India.
Their kinsmen, the low.caste Hndoos, are
equally fond of bright coloTs, equally averse to
fixed habitations; clever at snarng wild crea-
lures, chaste within certain wide limits, timid,
patient, passionate; crafty at playing upon the
credulity OF the civilized, and Scorntul of all be-
liefs except that it is very good to be where the
sun and moon can be seen. They, too, are hap
py in their way, though it is not ours. Mean
time it is pity to be too hard on the poor Tin
gari of England. They will die out soon enough
when the heather and the furze have all yielded
to wheat and turnips, and when hazel nuts are
not to be had without paying. They do very
little harm, indeed, and contribute to many
rural landscape in spring and summer feature
of wild primeval charm.

the United States for eight years Secretary OF
State during the eventful administrations OF Pres-
dents Lincoln and Johnson by the rarity of his

LITERARY CHIT-CHAT.

THE NEW TALE by the author OF "The Coming
Race,r which was commenced in the October num-
ber Of BlacEacood, is called ''The Parisans."
M. ERNEST FEYDEAU has just written new
work entitled "L'Allemagne in ls7ln which is a
satire on German manners-not a very wise kind of
book to publish now.
THE LATE KING OF SWEDEN deserves mention as
one OF the few monarchs of the day who have
ranked among authors. His essays on military SUBJ
jects were by no means despicabe productions
and he was frequent contributor to the Swedish
newspapers.
THIS Is FROM THE AthenGum :-''Messrs. Rout-
ledge Son inform us that Mr.. Eggleston's END OF
the World, which appeared in our list OF new
books Ast week. under the heading Theology is
a book OF American humor.' We suppose the
title Is also piece OF American humor.'"
THE POET LAUREATE's new volume Is to be pub
lshed by Strahan 4 Co. on the cath OF October. 1t
will contain new Arthuran idyl, "Gareth,"
which will recount how that parsonage came to
court In disguise, served there, and at length, In
face OF scorn, approved himself true knight.
This, with "The Last Tournament which will also
be included in the new volume, completes the Ar
thurian series.
Mr.. NORRIS new work will, most probably, be
ready before Christmas. 1t is to be entitled Love
is Enough: Morality" and is, for the most part,
written In unrhymeu alllteratlVe metre. inter-
spersed with songs.
MACMILLAN 8 Co. win publish shortly second

Greek and Roman subjects.
THE GRAND vIzIgR has authorized tree trade in

Braddon rs to say she is constantly improving, and
her latest ITO the Bitter End is carefully written,
yet full Of vigor and dash, the keen sense OF the
many enjoyments Of life, the love OF green fields
and blue skies and pleasant gardens, anG the quick
impatieAce OF all that is hollow and conventional"
"JENKINsoN's GUIDE to the English Lakes" just
out In London, is q miracle OF chcapness. The
proper period to visit this enchanted region 1t
makes out to be from the 1st OF January to the S1st
OF December In Summer 1t gows with beauty, In
Autumn 1t Is colored with magic In Winter 1t Is the
most romantic of all the realms OF the Frost King,
and In Spring 1t is land and water OF delight.
THE SOUTH POLE which seems latterly to have
been quite forgotten in the abortlve search for
the North one, is honored with book at last by q
learned German DOCTOR named Neumayer. IL Is
twenty-sevcn years since the last attempt at An
tarctic exploration, under Captain Moore. DIR.
Neumayer recommends the Cape Of Good Hope as
starting point and gives full photography OF all
voyages and memoirs relating to the South Pole.
