rincrs, which now renewed all their

signals, but were probably not observed.
This fresh aad heart-rending disaP-

against the very foe of ice which was

PUDDING AND PIES NOT UNHEALTHY.
There is probably great deal OF
truth in the following extract, which we
make from DR. Halls Journal Of
Health: The universal error as to the
unhealthfulness of pies, pnddings, and
pastries, taking it for granted that they
are well made and properly cooked,
has arisen from the simple fact that af-
ter we have made full meal of other
things, the stomach is oppressed by
them, and if the process is repeated,
becomes eventually dyspeptic; that is,
had not the power to work mp the food,
because it had been worked to death al
ready. 1t would be quite as philosoph-
ical that if nan has become very tired
by plowing all day, and afterward, by
ebopping wood, has worked him
elf ont, it was very unhealthy. to

MAD DOGS.

As the summer is now approaching,
we warn our readers to beware of mad
dogs. We have no disposition at pres
ent to give scientific account Of either
the origin or nature Of the rabies
GAMMA or dog-madness. 1t is sufficient
for practical people to know that the
malady both in man and beast has hith-
erto proved incurable. Let your dogs
have plenty of fresh water during the
warm weather, and then one Of the
causes of ma jness will be removed.
Keep the children from playing with
the dogs. The danger of that is not
fully appreciated. We have heard Of
an Irish lady, who got hydrophobia by
having her face licked by lap-dog.
Her face happened to be scratched ut
the time the little pet animal licked it.
Let the dogs have plenty of fresh water,
and let the children be kept from fool
ing with them. That is very sensible
advice, and it can be taken and needed
without any trouble, and we hope that
our readers will profit by it.

MICHIGAN deserves credit for stride
in prison reform far in advance of any
of her sisters. The Legislature, at its
last session, voted to free the conyicts in
the State Prison from the humiliation Of
wearing striped clothes, and granted
them permission to correspond with their
relatives and friends. The State also de-
votes funds to their education, and is to
give each one, when discharged, ten dol
lars in cash and ten dollars worth of
clothing, besides the money he may have
earned by overwork.

THE GRoUTV1LLE MuRDER

Let the reader carry his imagination
10 little retired village nestled between
two romantic hills in the interior of Yer
mont. At the foot of one of those
wooded eminences stood q neat farm
house, surrounded by the smoothest
lawn and extensive fields, waving, at the
time Of our story, with golden wheat
and shining corn. A level interval of
mswing grass lay between the snow
white farmhouse, dotted with the grace
full American elm, amid a groupof which
arose the broad roof of the thrifty
farmers large barn. The whole aspect
OF the scene was one of comfort, neat
ness, order, and substantial independ-
ence.
Z In the little village, which bears the
romantic name of Groutville, lived, some
years since, q man known as Deacon
Joel, quiet, good-natured person who
was very intimately known by the whole
neighborhood, for he was always ready
to subscribe the largest amount 10 re-
heve the suffering, and to promote the
'esrse Of Christianity. Deacon Joel had
no children, and for several years after
his marriage he and his wife employed
no servant, living pradently and very
happily. At Last there came along an
old bachelor. by the name OF Chester
Dalaway, who desired to take board and
lodgings with them BE was well to do

REFORMING THE World" GRAD
UATED TAXATION

The New England Labor Reform
League held its annual convention in
Boston last week, and was largely at
tended, the old sgitators Of both sexes,
with their infallible solutions Of the
great problems of society and politics,
being present in full force. The reso-
lutions, of course, presented the usual
tumble of sense and nonsense. They
declared all property not founded ON q
labor-title to be robbery recommended
to politicians, or, in their own phrase,
political jockeys" to take measures
looking to the abolition of landlord.
ism, currency-menopoly, and tariffs ;
favored free travel and transit, and the
reputation of so-called debts, the prin-
cipal whereof has been paid in the form
Of interest,"" They also inveighed
strongly against :" the virulence Of the
Christian Church toward industrial and
social reform" )" characterized the dis
elimination of employers against woman
in the matter of wages as :" an exhibit
tion of depravity not pleasant to con-
template" and urged increasing effort
for the assistance of humanity against
"still prevailing barbarism." The
scheme most in favor for reforming the
world this year was one which, advo-
Gated by several delegates, was
called graduated taxation" The
plan is, briefly, to exempt from
taxation Gil accumulations Of prop
erty less than 5000; on all between
1000 and SIC, 900, to lay tax of | of
l per cent; between $40, 600 and $20,-
600, of per cent. and so on in ratio
increasing as the sum increases, until
the amount of 5000, 900 is reached, when
the tax should be per cent. Upon es-
tates of $1,000, 900 it should be 20 per
cent, andof S., 600, 600 andupward, 5Oper
cent! This is as far as the scheme goes,
and a very little arithmetic is necessary
to calculate the point where mans ac-
cumulations must cease altogether, and
his property be wholly absorbed by his
taxes.
