In an Ecstacy Because his Wife was
Hanged.

Sir Walter Scott used to be fond of
telling the following story of his cousin
Watty." Watty aforesaid was a
midshipman in the navy. On Ger
tain occasion he and his messmates had
gone on shore at Portsmouth and over.
staid their leave, besides spending their
money aud running up bill at tav-
ern at the Point. TIER ship made
signal for sailing, peremptorily calling
all hands on board, but when they
would have started the landlady said
" No, gentlemen, you cannot escape
without paying your reckoning" And
TO confirm her words she called bail
iff and his posse to take charge of them.
The midrhipmen felt they were in a
bad scrape and begged to be released.
" No, no." said the resolute matron,
" l must be satisfied in some way. You
must be aNare, gentlemen, that you
will be totally ruined and disgraced If
you do not go on board in time
They groaned bitterly, for they knew
she spoke the truth.
Well," she continued, "I'll give
you all chance. am so circumstanO
ced here that cannot well carry on my
business as single woman, and must
contrive somehow to have husband,
or, at all events, must be able to pro-
duce marriage certificate. Now, the
only terms upon which will set you all
free are, that one of you will consent
to marry me don care a snap which
it is but, by all that is holy, one of
you will have for husband, or else
you all go to Jail and your ship sails
without you"
The vixen was not to he coaxed nor
entreated. Tears and prayer were of
no avail After time the poor mid
dies agreed to draw lots. Watty drew
the matrimonial slip of doom. No time
was to be lost. The marriage license
was speedily procured and they went
to the nearest church, where the kDot
was tied. The bride on her return to
her tavern gave them good dinner,
with plenty of wine, and then sent them
of in her wherry. OF her own accord
she had proposed to her husband, that
as the marriage certificate was her chief
pride, he was at liberty to live apart
from her forever II he chose.
The ship sailed, and the young gen
tlenen religiously adhered to the oath
of secrecy they bad made previous to
drawing lots. A year after, at Jamaica,
file oil English papers reached the mid
shipman's berth, and Watty, who was
carelessly looking them over was at
tracted by the account of robbery and
murder, and the execution of the cul-
prits atPortsmouth. Suddenly leaping
to his feet, and waving the paper above
his head, forgetful of his oath in the ex'
citement of ecstacy, he cried out
THANK Heaven My wife is hanged

The Main Mirror gives the testimony
OF New Hampshire boy, now resi-
dent of Wisconsin, a fine scholar, a
graduate of Dartmouth, and law stu
dent in Merrimac county, who, just
previous to his admission to the bar,
took severe cold, which rendered him
very deaf, aud no medical skill was
able to restore his bearing. The afiic-
tion compelled him to give up his chosen
profession, and he went west very
much broken down in spirits. For ten
years he has been farming, cultivating
about 200 acres of prairie land, and, as
he expressed it, making a good living,
and sailing down something every year.
And he declares that if, knowing what
he now knows. he was. to begin his life
over again, he do just as he was cOn>
PEELED to do so unwillingly ten years
ago that is, he would throw aside his
profession and settle down upon farm.
Said he, P" there isn't much glory on a
farm, hut you get good sure living.
You are your own master; you can't be
starved or be turned out of business; but
as far as the work is concerned in these
days of horse power, man needn't kill
himself farming any more than at any
other business. 1t is brains that win on
farm as well as everywhere else, and
the smart man is going to ride, while
the stupid one goes afoOt, in the corn
field as we'll as in the bar or pulpit. 1

"TRUEPRLNCLPLES OFTAXATION."

This book of Professor Held. at Bonn,
should be in the hands of all public men.
1t rests on the general axiom that all the
wealth and income of the country is the
basis of its taxation, and that all its indi-
viduals should bear their proportionate
share of the public burden; proportion
ately not alone to possession, but also to
ejoyments. Anon-tax-paying Citizenis an
anomaly in government that has equal
public rights; such person has lost his
economic moral contact with the society
whose law and order are maintained by
public taxes. He has freed himself from
the true sensibllity of duty, becomes
tyrant on others, and spreads ruin over
social life. He must pay some direct tax
or he will lose all measure of his true re-
lation to the State. One universal tax,
however fair in principle, may become
unfair in practice, because we cannot
find universally correct measure for the
proportion each is to pay; and the APP
portionment being unjust makes the ef-
feet of the principle unfair.
The test of all tax rules is in their prac-
tical execution, and a rigiddly carried
out, to all appearances honest, principle
may lead to the most dishonest practices
indeed to the most outrageous extor-
tions. A minimum of direct ia es should
be fixed for every adult person that oc-
Cupies an independent relation to the
government. The priest, the noble or
the official that enjoys similar privileges
The world has only changed in its opin-
ion of the necessity of things. 1t ex-
empted churches, Clergymen and mobiles,
ETC., from taxation, because it formerly
believed them to be the indiapesible
parts of society. The error is in allowing
anything or free person to exist under
government that does not pay in some
way a duly proportioned share. Ex-
emptions mean increased burdens on
others. They prevent that in itself diff
fCult task, fair apportionment, and
produce extra burdens, as well as ex-
emptions
The fundamental wrong of our tax
laws is the rod we measure with. We
have but one-the value of property 1t
is necessarily false, because it excludes
many much truer standards; and it is
besides very unfair in its measurements.
There is no public action that does not
cost in our judicial fees we have in a
measure preserved the principle and the
practice that he shall pay who causes
the public expense or services. Why ig-
more it in all other affairs? The answer
is, because it is difficult; but why aban-
don it where it is not difficult7 Or, at
least, why assume it to be difficult where
our prejudice keeps us from seeing the
real status Our present tax laws are the
millstones around our necks; they nour-
ish false public appetites in those who
feel exempt from their burdens, and
these are the instruments welded by our
Office and contract-hunters. Our voters
are being played off on each other, and
corruption rules everything.-Oin Cincinnati

COIN HOME TODAY
BY W. NJ, CARLETON,

My business on the jury's done-the quibbling all
is through
I've watched the lawyers, right and left, and give
my verdict true
stuck so long unto my chair thought would
grow In
And II l do not know myself they'll get me there
agini
But now the courts adjourned for good, and
have got my pay
I'm loose, at last and thank the Lord, I'm goin'
home to-day,
I've somehow felt uneasy, like, since the first day
come down
Its an awkward game to play the gentleman in
town.
And this ere Sunday suit Of mine on Sunday
rightly sets,
But when wear the stuffa week 1t somehow
gals and frets,
I'd rather wear my homespun rig of peppersalt
gray
I'll have it on in half a Iif when get home to.
day.
have no doubt my wife looked out, as well as
any one
As well as any woman could-to see that things
was DONE
For though Melinda when I'm there, won't set
her foot out doors,
She's very careful, when I'm gone, to tend to all
the chores.
But nothing prospers half SO well, when / go off
TO stay,
And will put things into shape, when go home
to-day,
The mornin' that come away we had little
pout
coolly took my hat and left before the show was
out,
For what said was naught whereat she ought to
take ofIense
And she was always quick at words, and ready to
commence;
But then she's first one to give up when she has
had her say;
And she will meet me with kiss when go home
to-day.
Ny little boy-Tll give EN- leave to match him,
ifthey can,
It's fun to see him strut about and try to be q
man
The gamest cheeriest little chap you'd ever want
to see
And then they laugh, because think, the child
resembles me-
The little rogue, he goes for me like robbers for
their prey,
He'll turn my pockets inside out when get thome
to day,
Ny little girl can't contrlve how 1t should hap
pen thus
That God could pick that sweet bouquet and fling
It down to us
Ny wife, she says, that handsome face will some
day make stir;
And then laugh, because she thinks the child
resembles her,
She'll meet me half way down the hill, and kiss
me any way
And light my heart up with her smiles, when l
go home to-day.
If there's heaven upon the earth, a fellow knows
1t when
He's been away from home week, and then gets
back again.
Iftheres heaven upon this earth, there often,
III be bound
Some homeSick fellow meets his folks, and hugs
em all around.
But let my creed be right or wrong or be it as 1t
may,
My heaven is just ahead OF me-Im goin' home
to-day!
