Of nfty hours, he quit the engagement

During this season Of fifty hours the
game was unbroken, aud the heroic

to eat, but went straight forward with
the business ia hand; with eyes vide

DISCONTENT.

Nothing is drudgery naless we
choose to make it 80. 1t all depends
on how We take hold Of things; and
after all there is not 30 much differ
cnce between one kind Of work and
another. It is all ABOUT alike, and yet
We get tired Of this everlasting same
ness al around ne, and long for
change Of some kind. This lnonot0ny
cramps the brightest intellect, impairs
the health and causes u to become
morese and iretful-dissatistiesl with
ourselves, and Of course not pleasing
to others. Too true it is that advers-
ity brings out the finest points in the
character Of some, while others sink
into oblivion, as it were, vet God never
aHicts but to benefit us. If We look
On tho bright side, as we all should,
everything We have to do would be Z
pleasure to us and not a drudgery, a.
some call it. Let us take the birds
for exanple-destroy their nests the
third time, yet they will rebuild them.
Sitting one day in the door yard
saw an ant struggling with a cru,nb
of bread too large for it to carry. It
tried sometime but made no Roadway.
At last the crumb became separated,
and the ant hurried away with Que
piece and soon returned for the other
which was too much for his strength.
After trying some time he left, as
supposed, for good, but presently re-
turned with another ant, and together
they carried it without any trouble.
1t was lesson I never shall forget.
Let US bear our burdens vi, Ii q cheer.

and at the same time elevating to our
selves, Of course. In plucking . rose
We will be sure to find th0rns. We
would not enjoy the sweets We do were
it not for the trouble in obtaining them;
therefore let Us consider what We have
to do ~ part Of our mission here,
and nothing will seem drudgery to rs.

BREAKING THE BANK.

the game wen, although the knowing
ones say that Everett saw little OF
nothing Of the proceeds. But the
gamblers were not content with this
process Of getting rich slowly, and or
ganized a scheme to break the bank
for their own benefit.
One day last week the game was
opened at an unusually early hour,
and while the unsuspecting banker
was yet enjoying his morning slumber.
The only player was q tall, black
whiskered stranger, who wore dia-
mond solitaire in his shirt front, and
3 ring Of price on the middle finger of
the left hand. He began ct once to
bet the limit Of the game, and from,
tie start fortune was propitious. Deal
followed deal, the strangers pile Of
checks increasing rapidly until at
length the dealer replaced the cards
in the drawer and announced the game
closed. He was cashing the checks,
whose total value equalled the re-
sources of the bank, when Coal Oil
Tommy entered the room.
1.-THE banks broke!" was the ex-
PLANTATION Of tho dealer, and with this
Everett was perforce content. But
his infatuati0n was such that he tried
that afternoon to sell his trotting horse
for $500, and failing in the attempt,
sent to this city to raise more money
on his property.-N Y. Sun.

Spain.

On Friday last Senor CASTELAR,, presi-
dent of the Spanish republic, read his
message to the Cortes giving a hopeful
account of the condition of the nation
Several votes were taken, all resulting
adverse to the Castelar, government.
Gen. Pavia, who is a friend Of CASTELAR,
thereupon occupied the palace of Cortes
and other public buildings with force
of fourteen thousand troops. He dis
solved the Cortes and summoned the
most eminent men of all parties, includ-
ing members of the present government,
only excepting Carlists and Intransigcn-
tcs, to form new government. Sagosta
was named president.

The Collection of Taxes

1t is now thought that the auditor will
be unable to complete hisduplicate before
the 18th inst, and consequently the
treasurer cannot begin to collect the
taxes until after that date. The auditor
has several men at work helping him,
and is doing all in his power to hurry up
the work.
According to law the penalty for nom
payment Of taxes should be added on and
after the 18th of January. As the treas
urer cannot receive the taxes, even if
rendered, until the duplicate iscomplete,
there will have to be an order issued to
abate the penalty until some other day.
We are authorized by the treasurer to
state that due notice will be given of the
points and times at which he will receive
taxes. He will probably be ready at
some day between January Is and Feb
uary |.

The Delegates.

IF the Taxpayers convention is to
amount to anything the peoplemust take
an interest in it. The delegates should
not be sclf-constitu.ed. Such conventions
have met often enough to resolve and
adjourn. Every such failure gives re-
newed audacity to the professional poll
ticians who run this state for their own
benifit. They are shrewd enough to see
through any sham convention. If the
time is not yet ripe for real, earnest
effort, the convention had better not
meet.

'Thc custom of issuing due bills as

greSS will be requested to prohibit any
