The noble efforts which are being
made by many of our settlers to pay
their taxes, is worthy Of a public ac-
acknowledgement. Some are still in az
rears, and although the time granted
by the Legislature last winter is past,
and the Personal Property Tax of 1878
became delinquent on the 1st day of
November, yet am still receiving tax
es at my office. I must Gerry soon call
on those who do not call on me, and
do not wish to make any unnecessary
trouble or costs, but the laws compel
me to make the effort. and it is hoped
that it may not be necessary to perform
this Ito me) very unpleasant duty.

adobe building with stone towers Inside
was a study | could lave enjoyed for week
instead of few hours The church was
built one hundred and ninety years ago, The
paintings and images, OF. which there were
many, although they displayed but little ar

of the age and the people who made them,
and showed the zeal Of the Spanish priest,
who carried their religious teachings among
these Indians who seem to have enthusiastic
cally adopted the pomp and pageitry OF The
Romish faith. The affairs in their time had
been grand affairs. The pillars and beams
over the altar as also the railing were cover
ed with gold leaf, great numbers of saints
were painted on the wall, and some OF them
noticed were dressed rs Indians and wore
feathers in their heads.
Only portion of the floor near the altar
was paved with stone, and there were no
seats. 1t has always been custom with
those who could afford it To bury their dead
inside Of the church And here each dying
generation had been stirred up with the bones
OF their fathers. till the earth in the floor OF
the church was much filled with human
bones, and as you pass through the church
you tread on the bones Of one generation,
dug up to bury another, The poor will not
be so likely to be troubled to identify their
bones at tn: Judgement, as they were com
PEELED TO bury outside. While here | wit

1t was buried few feet outside of the church

The season of the year has arrived whcn all
well regulated families commence TO look
under the bed, upstairs and down cellar toI
the stoves and the stove.plpc taken dowa and
laid away last June.
know all about putting up stoves
The first thing to be done in putting up 4
stove is to strain your back lifting 1t, and
mash your toes lifting it into place. The
next thing is to jump around on one loot and
Jaw your wife, and slur all her relatives way
back to Capt. John Smith
When you regain your natural state OF
sweet temper put the first joint of pipe ON to
the stove. Patience will do it. It's a great
deal easier, of course, to work about ten min
utes and then throw the JOINT at the looking
glass, kick the stove over, and threaten tC
murder all the tinsmths in town-but that
won't put the stove up. man who will
keep his temper can put joint OF pipe on IN
an hour and half by the clock, and I'll war
rant It.
Then put on Tie second-in doing this you
will loosen the first and both will come down
together Ifyou want to jump for the AK and
smash both JOINTS fiat, why, its all right, but
it's better to sit down in chair and gaze
out of the window, and appear utterly indif
ferent. BY and by you can kind OF fool
around the JOINTS, pound the end of one in
and the other oui, press with your hands, tap
with hammer and they'll go together.
Then put on the half joint. 1t was made
to fit The tnsmith will bet u thousand dol
lars on it, but you can't fit them-not if you
get mad. TRY one end, then the other, then
press, then pound, then jump up and yell al
your wife that you wouldn't care d cuss II
the house was ON fire. | know men who do
that way and they fool around for day and
half, where | wouldn't be over five hours
about it.
Having put the half joint on, put on the ell
bow. Stand upon chair-you'll be sure to
knock all the other pipe down, and no one
ever saw stove. pipe fail without the joints al.
coming apart. The pipe won't either tit IN or
go over How could you expect it to? Ham
mer it with tlat.iron, just to vary the mono
tony Then pound it again and again with
the hammer TO vary some more monOtony.
Then press, and squeeze, and breathe hard
and bung your eyes out. 1t lacks just hair S
breadth OF fitting, but it might as well lacknl

down, kick each separate joint, bark your

4 Blind Kings Homage to the II


The blind King of Hanover has returned
to Paris to have another look at the art treas
ures of the city, for although an indefatigable
sight.secr when there year ago, he could
not get through all there was to be seen This
may seem an odd way of speaking of blind
man, but there Is not much eXaggeration
about 1t. King George sees with the ewes of
his daughter, who has faculty possessed by
few With her father upon her arm, she en-
tiers museum or any pablo place and begins
conversation In n low, running voice, giving
in few words general idea o! the room and
Of the people in it, then going into details as
they go on. The King enters like man with
good eyes, and, when on his daughters arm.
never fails to return the sautcs addressed to
him from whatever direction they may come.
1t is evident, therefore, that there is some sys-
tenn OF telegraph known to the two, and from
long habit the King has become so expert
! that he rarely ever makes mistake. At
soirse he is led up to the host or hostest, bows
at the right moment, and goes through the
ceremony with all the ease of man who
can see, He even pays most unexpected com
pliments, when the daughter, without saying
a word, telegrapbs that young lady is young
and beautiful; and when surprise is express.
ed King George CALAMITY replies that he sees
with his soul. When saw HIM at the Louvre
longed for an opportunity to hear what the
Princess said as they went from picture to
picture the King looking intently upon the
wall, but could hear nothing but low hum
too indistlnct to be comprehended by ears
less attentive than those Of her father. Her
language cannot be understood by others,
even when not spoken with the usual rapid
ty. 1t is very touching TO see the love and
devotion Of this young Princess.

TI,5OO,00O for his establishment on the Pala-

he squandcred $72O,00O,OOO of public MONEY.
And these fellows lived well. Esopus, who
was a play actor, paid 100000 for a single

1t hath been said, for all who die
There is tear:
Some pinng, bleeding heart 10 sigh
Ger every bier.
But in that hour OF pam ahd dread
Who will draw near
Around my humble couch and shed
One farewell tear.
Who'd watch lifc's fast departing ray
In deep despair,
And soothc my spirit on its way
With holy prayer
What mourner round my bier will come,
In weeds of woe,
And follow inc to my long home,
Solemn and slow!
When lying on my clayes bed
In icy sleep,
Who there, by pure affection led,
Will come and weep;
By the pale moon impant the rose
Upon my breast,
And bid 1t cheer my dark reposc-
Ny lowly rest?
Gould but know, when am sleeping
Low in the ground,
One faithful heart would there be keeping
Watch all night round,
As If some gem lay shrincd beneath
That sod's cold gloom,
'Twould mitigate the panSs OF death
And light the tomb.
Yesi in that hour if could feel
From halls of glec
And Dcauty's presence one would steal
In sccresy,
And come and sit and weep by me
In nights decb noon,
Obi ] would ask OF memory
No other boon
But all! n lonclicr fate is mine,
A deeper woe;
From all love in youths sweet time

Drawn round me my pale robes Of white,
In a dark spot
To sleep through deaths long ORGANIZES night

Purity Of Character.

Over the beauty Of the plum and
apricot there grows bloom and beau
ty more exquisite than the fruit itself !;
a soft delicate flush that overspreads
its blushing cheek. Now if you strike
your hand over that, and it is once
gone, it is gone forever, for it never
grows but once. The flower that grows
i the morning, impearled with dew :
arrayed with jewels once shake it, so
that the head rolls of. and you may
sprinkle water on it as you please. yet
it can never be made again as it was
when the dews fell lightly on it from
heaven. On frosty morning you may
see the panes Of glass covered with
landscapes, mountains, lanes and trees,
blended into a beautiful fantastic pic
ture. Now lay your hands upon the
glass, and by the scratch Of your fin
ger, or by the warmth Of your palm,
all the deli;at tracery will be oblitera-
ted. So there IS in youth a beauty and
purity Of character which. when once
touched and deilad can never be re-
stored; a fringe more delicate than
frostwork, and which torn and broken
can never be re-embroidercd. A man
who has spotted ana soiled his gar
ments in youth, though he may seek to
make them white again, Can never
wholly co it, even were lie to wash
them with his tears. When a young
man leaves his fathers house with the
blessing Of his mother tears still wet
upon his forehead, if he once loses
that purity OF character it is loss
that he can never make "hole again
Such IS the consequence of crime. Its
effect can only be eradicated, it can on
ly be forgiyen.-Beecher.
