When tea was ready, Miss Nellie came

Hall said, My dear sir, will you hayo

"In halfa jitfy, madame"
Nellie looked up, but her father took

Just then his napkin fell to the floor,
"Gracious, I'm con-dumfounded," ejac-

OUR LITTLE WOMEN AND MEN.

Sitting on rustic benches,
Coming their lessons DER;
Some so short their bare, brown feot
Can scarcely reach the floor.
Busy with book and pencil,
Busy with slate and pen,
These are they who rule the state
Our little women and men.
Under the shady naples,
They arc busy as bees,
All the noontime keeping house,
Keeping house undor the trees;
Then again at their lessons,
PuzIling o'er two times ten,
Aos' these arc our future rulers
Our little women and men.
Little worn frocks and aprons,
And hats with half a rim,
Little eager, sunbrowned faces,
with dimple in chcok and chin;
Saucy and tull of mischief,
Scoldcd again and again,
Never they mind the scoldng-
Our little women and mon.
All the great of the nation
We're little once like these,
Now some of them rulo the land,
And somo of them rule the seas;
They'll win who toll tho hardest,
With sword, or book, or pen;
There waits golden harvest
For our little women and mon.

the Apothecary Hall chiefly, this place
having lately grown into a shop for the
retail ofspirits in bottles.
The remarks of the honorable 2nd
member (Latimer) appear to have consid-
erably influenced the 5th Crown member,
(Jurs) who in his argument, begs to
keep them in view" while he declares
that " to reduce the tax, and to lay the
balance on others, merchants, and retail
ers selling spirits by the bottle, would be
impracticabIe .. from the fact that
" none of them would seek permission"
In fact he attempts to settle the whole
question by asserting that =" nobody makes
asmuch money now as before, or as
quickly, neither tradesmen, planters,
nor officials, Now | must actually
confess, that while I doubt whether
this latter class can be included in
the category Of non-money-making in
dividuals Gn as far as come what may
their salaries must be paid them) l
don't see why that should prevent the
Government trying to make matters as
%lenient as possible for us, In proportion to
the " altered circumstances.
Does the honorable member suppose
that the $3S8 400 pr year for %licence and its
recommendation of which he proposes to rid
US, will in any way reduce our burdens ?
Does he imagine that the petitioners would
have given themselves the trouble to
address the Government, if all they hoped
to gain by it was a saving of $3's 100 a year?
with no further protection from non
holders of licenses who sell spirits, and the
altering of the minimum of the quantity
of spirits to be sold by them from 5 to p
GalIons2 If this doesn't look like the man
with a full stomach preaching of the wrong
of intruding on rich folks, to the poor
crippled half starved beggar at his door,
then | don't know what does.
[ am not Mr.. Editor, versed in legal
matters, but it appears to me to be a much
easier matter to compel merchants and
retailers to seek permission to sell spirits
in bottles (rum excepted under penalty OF
u heavy fine, than it is to prevent rum
shopkeepers selling rum to the military,
for while in the one case | fully believe,
that to secure themselves from interior
ence, they would willingly consent to the
plan (rather than give up the buslness)
in the other | an almost convinced that
the Military drink nearly as freely in the
rumshops, as if no regulations to the con
trary existed. [ would therefore beg to
say to the honorable 5th Crown member,
that l fully agree with him in saying that
" the Government has not gone as tar as 1t
could, for in reality the changes made in
the new draft of Ordinance, and the
amendments suggested by himself, amounts
to nothing.
What is wanted, and what will serve
the purpose, is what is proposed by the
3rd member for Christiansted (Hanson)
"fair taxation" in the shape Of $8-to $40
per month and the deficit, according to
the honorable end member for Frederick
sted (Faber) "could just be collected by
"extending the tax to merchants, and
"lowering it on the small number OF Rum
shopkeepers.

also shows that the home authorities are
not so powerless in Cuba as we have been
