Ill Temper.
nY THEODORE PARKER.

A single person of sour, sullen temper
what dreadful thing it is to have such O
one in house ! There is not myrrh and
aloes and chloride Of lime enough in the
world to disinfect single home of such q
nuisance as that; no riches, no elegance ol
mien, o beauty of face, can ever screen
such persons from utter vulgarity. There
Is one thing which rising persons hate the
reputation of moro than all others, and
that is yulgarity, but, trust me, i'll temper
is the vulgarest that the lowest born and
illest bred can ever bring to his home. |,
is one of the worst forms of impiety. Peev
ishness in home is not ouly sin agaius
the Holy Ghost, but sin against the Holy
Ghos. in the very temple Of love.

GREEN rIELDs JUST IN sIanT.

Al the portals Of the morning
Stood child with dainty feet,
A about him golden sunshine,
Pearly dew aud blossoms sweet
And with tender, dlmple fingers,
Plnckod the flowers fresh and fair,
Aud the ovorhanging branches
Showed the dew drops in his hair.
Looking forward DER Hrs pathway,
Saw be broader fields Of green,
sklos with snowy clouds so neecy,
Here and there blue shreds between
And with swiftly Aying footsteps
Started he for fields more bright
But In vain he hurried onward
They were always just 10 sight.
Warmer, brighter grew the sunshine,
Broader, rougher grew the way
But with green fold. Just before him
Nothing could his footstep stay,
So he wandered on til manhood
Took the place Of childhood fair,
Then ho threw aside his flowers,
Wiped the dew drops from his hair.
onward, onward, toiling, striving,
Helping others with his might,
Desired he that the blooming fields
That arc always Just In sight
Lay beyond the dark cold river.
Here we only wish and walt,
TIL the master calls Us over
And uubars tho pearly gates.

Internal Revenue.


Ina short time the new Internal Revenue
law will be in full operation. The assessors
droppcd from the service BY that law will
be relieved from duty as fast as possible,
and they should settle their accounts by
July Of this year. Seventeen different
forms Of license are being engraved aud
printed, and Will be supplied to dealers in
spirits, formenied Liquors and tobacco, aud
10 Others who paid what was known as
Especial taxes" under the old law The
commissioner of Internal Revenue thinks
1t not improbable that Congress viii this
winter repeal the tax on matches, patent
medicines, perfumery, toilo, articles aud
blank checks. The revenue from those
sources amounts to about 81, 900, 900, annu-
ally. The argument for this repeal is in
the fact that the total receipts from in
tcrnal revenue for the past year far exceed
the estimates. Ifthe stamp taxes referred
to are repealed, nothing will be left of the
once burdensomc system Of internal excise
but the taxes on spirits, iermcuted liquors,
tobacco aud on banks and bankers. Aud
if Congress would bring the expenses to a
peace programme, taxation could be still
further reduced, and the burdens of the
people lowered in Il material degree.
