A Speculative Darkey MunOnaIre

The New Orleans Times SAYS that men whose
tavcs foot IN from one 10 ten thousand each year,
can ret two per cent IA OEth for il, Or use II IN
even more lucrative ways, while t'sc lnteueet On
their taxes is nothing in comparison. Hundreds
Of thousands of dollars are retained in this way.
A notable instance OF this practice is tiIa case o.
colorcd millionaire, VINO has dodged paying his
taxes until they now amount TO nearly 100000,
due to the city and the State. This man is q
character for a romance. lie is abstemI0us that
he may be called a miser.
lie disdains rest, and with wonderful activity
works on in a small aud obscure one-stOFy house,
remote from the business portion OF the city. This
building is his office and his home. 1t is dingy
and dilapidated on the out side. Within, Kind
of lobby partitoned of from the main room IL the
miser's Office. A desk full of pgcOn-holes cram
med with papers, an iron safe, and q chair or two,
constitute the only furniture. Beyond are the
rooms where he lives with his mother, woman
almost hundred years old. Yet this Wan, % un-
pretentious in his business surroundings, has
nearly a hundred tenements scattered all over the
city which bring him anyWheTe from tWenJ q
three hundred dollars each per month. -f'
He owns over $50 different properties estimated
10 be worth at least 500, 600, besides bonds and
cash 10 a large amount. This man, however,
never pays any taxes, except when he dIsPOses
Of piece OF property, aud then only on that
property In the ShenfPs Office are tax wrltl
against him datiag hack twelve years, and toeomt
OF them are attached as much as six ya1A ofIdDlg
cap filled throughout with closely written de-
scTintions of his properties. 1hO reason toi
avoiding his annual taxes is speculative one
The city charges HIM ten per cent interest Anf
/ on his money, which he never loans. except o.
mortgage, he can make from eighteen 70 twenty
four per cent EVery tenth year also the taxes o.
one year are wiped out by prescription.

somewhat combined-that is, slightly
arched-signify the union of manly mind
and energy with womanly gentleness.
Meeting eyebrows, though formerly said
ia denote crattiness, are said by IIayater
to be found ia the most open and honest
faces. Close, firm eyebrows, with the hairs
growing straight, as if cut, are most GER
tain signs Of firm, manly, mature mind,
profound wisdom and accurate perception.
Weak eyebrows are found to denote cold
ness, but they are sometimes found with
fiery and powerful minds; but for this
weakness Of the eyebrows, the fire and
power would be still greater. Some lose
their eyebrows through too much rubbing
in washing the face, or by illness. An

The song of Hail Columbia" adapted

was written by James Hopkinson, Of
Philadelphia, in 179s. At that time war
with France was expected, and patriotic
feeling pervaded the community. Mr..
Fox, a young singer and actor, called
upon Hopkinson one morning and said,
"To-morrow evening is appointed for my
benefit at the theatre. Not single box
has been takeu, and | fear there win be
athin house If you will write me some
patriotic verses to the tune Of the ssPresi-
dents March" / feel sure Of full house.
Several about the theatre have attempted
It, but they have come to the conclusion
that il cannot be done; yet you may sue
coed" Mr.. Hopkinson retired to his
study, wrote the first verse and chorus,
and submitted them 10 Mr. Fox, who sung
them to a harpsichord accompaniment.
The tune and the words harmonized.
The song was soon finished, and that
evening the young actor received it. The
next morning the placards announced that
Mr. Fox would give new patriotic song,
The house was crowded-the song was
sung--the audience delighted, Eight
times It was called for and repeated, and
when sung the ninth time, the whole au-
dieuce stood up and Joined in the chorus.
Night after night Hail Columbia" was
applauded in the theatre, and in few

GATHER THE ROSES.

oh. gather the roses that bloom so rare
All along your life's highway;
Weave them up into garlands fair;
All, gather them while you may,
For the fairest Of flowers mast fade and die,
And fall from the parent tree;
The chilling blasts of Autumn sweep by,
And our roses have ceased to be,
They lie scattered aud withercd all over thu
ground
Every vestige Of beauty has fed;
And sadly you gaze on their dropping leaves
And say, my roses are dead.
But "oyer there are flowers as iair,
Flowers Of Iadeless hue,--
There the daisy white, with the eye so bright
And the violet, Of heavens own hue.
There the roses Of June shed their sweet per
fume
On every passing breeze;
And birds as fair, with plumago rare,
Warble sweet songs mid the trees.
oh, then gather life roses, ere they droop ant
die;
For Winters frost must come
Oh, weave them into garlnnds fair,
TO deck your spirit home"

With them the angels shall make swee
