An EXTENSION OF They've are requested
by the Governor to state that the only power
now. possessed by an executive officer of the
State to postpone the time when the penalty
for non-payapent of taxes will attach is the pow
er rconferred on the comptroller-generalb by Sec
ton 139, page IT'S, acts of 1894, as, follows
'"That whenever the gen eral assembly shall fail
to make the annual levy of taxes, or the collec-
tion Of fthe,same may be in any way delayed it
shall Be the duty Of the comptroller-general to
notify each county treasurer that the penalty for
non-payment shall not attach until after the
expiration Of sixty days fromthe date of his
public announcement of his readiness to col
Iect the said taxes"
The power heretofore exercised by the gov
ernor and comptroller-general was limited to
the. fiscal year ending October 81, 1874.
Inasmuch as the collection did not begin in
any county till the 30th of November, the time
will be extended till the 30th of January. In
some other counties, where special causes of de.
lay in commencing the collection have existed,
the time will be corfespondingly extended.
The people are by, law entitled to sirty days
time from the COMMENCEMENT of the collection
before they are subjected to the penalty for
non-payment. The omptroller-general will
issue. the, proper orders in. ample time to reach
ell the county treasurers.
The question of any further extensions than
those above named rests exclusively with the
general assembly and not with any executive
officer U7sion- Herald.

How TO GET A AD1NNER.-A gentleman who
travelled about pretty extensively was greatly
perplexed to understand how it was that other
persons we're waited upon promptly and we'll
served in the hotels, while he was almost en-
tirely ignored, and could scarcely obtain
proper meal complain to and swear at the
walters as he mig int. At last his eyes were
opened to the dodge of feeling the walters liber-
ally, and, being of an ingenious turn of mind,
he determined to improve on the plan. The
next hotel he dined at he took his seat very
pompously at the table, and out of well-tiled
pocketbook extracted a one-dollar bill, which
he laid on the white cloth beside his plate, and
placed his goblet upon it. In an instant ne
was surrounded by walters, who seemed to vive
with each other in their attentions. Every
wish was anticipated, and all the delicacies OF
the kitchen and pantry we're placed before his
attempting array. Having Jared as sumptu-
ously as prince Ito the envy of many of the
other guests) he took up the note, and, becon-
ing TO the nearest waiter, was Immediately be-
sieged by half-dozen or so. Holding the note
in one hand, he pointed to it with the other,
and inquired of the crowd, "Do you see that
note?" "Oh, yes, sirp p they all exclaimed, in
chorus. sThen take a good look at it," he re.
piled, "for you will never see it again."
Saying which, he departed, leaving the walters

The SEWING MACHINE MoNoPoL1srs:-
Wilson, the patentee of the sewing machine
feed the possession of which sustains the sew
ing machine monopoly in this country, will ap-
ply to this Congress for q second extension OF
the patent, it is said. We hope it will be Pc
remptorily refused. On the occasion OF the
previous extension, Wilson sold out his lights
to the quadrangle Of companies-Singer, Gro
yer & Baker, Wheeler & Wilson, and Howe,
for $50, 900, and, if he did not ask big enough
price it was his own fault. At all events, un-
der that extension, the sewing machine monop-
olists have charged the American people S25,-
OOOO year for machines that did not cost a
fifth of that sum, and which would have beer,
sold at reasonable profit to manufacturers and
middlemen for two-ffths of it, at most.
Meantime, the machines have been exported
to foreign countries, and sold at profit for
half what they are sold at home. Half mil,
lion dollars worth have been sold in England
the past year, in the face of Birmingham, and
quarter of million in Germany. The pat
ent has already run twenty-four years, and
ought to be allowed to expire.-Sprinafeld

Ay, be kind to them! Yei who have never never
felt the bitter pangs of hunger; who have
neverspassed through dreary winter with chat
teriie teeth and limbs paalsied with cold; who
/ have never prayed for the sweet forgetfulness
of sleep, to shut out for abrief season the frost
whose lev breath struck a chill to your heart,
and who have never been prey to the canker-
worm of grief and misery, which all these
sufferings entail; we pray you, be kind to the tn
Be,kind to thepoor. Yes, for the blessing
| tof prosperity which heaven has.shoWered upon
you, will yield you no true happiness II others

A satisfied conscience sheds a peace anu

which the immortal spirit cannot be satished' e!

than.the heart can contain, more OF sunerlne

of bereavement appeals in tones more eloquent lei

helpless orphan, brought into the world ano
left alone by the relentless hand OF death
claims your guardianship and protection. And
as you expect continuance of the mercles and

That love has thus ordained II.
And thus we, will go through the incoming
year, influenced ip eur faith and action by the
seductive voice of hope. We should beware
of9the, folly Of inconsistent expectation. Sue
cess is expected not only in. those matters
where devotion may reasonably secure it, but
even in those in which it cannot be inferred,
from the absence Of concentrated purpose.
Hope is commonly Elusive, because unreason-
ing and uncalculating. Devotion to an end,
conformity to recognized laws, and the result is
hnmanly secure. The optimist philosophy
asserts, whatever is, is right: This is not alto
gether:true; too many cases of an exceptional
character antagonize the rule But it holds
good in general way, that whoever deserves
success achieves it. One of the errors into
which almost all persons fall in some degree,
isto fancy what they could do and accomplish
were their position or circumstances different.
But the rule of conduct is, as pointed out in
the Roman maxim, "hoc ags"-do this that lies
before thee in plain, life.
IN no period of the worlds history were the
prospects of ambitious young men so bright as
in the present. The many Improvements in
the arts and sciences are constantly offering
new and wider fields to the epterprising. The
cold at this season of The year, the extreme
comfort in being near good fire, are spgges-
tive Of the propriety of devotion to- the social
relations of life. Social intercourse, SO condu-
