we sympathise with the movement. In fact
plan which should relieve the local press
and its management of all amenabillty to the
tax-gatherer would be received with gratitude
and not unlikely with song, mirth, Jubllatlon
and an inextravagant pyrotechnlcal display,
In the general proposition of relief Is included
temporary abandonment of the school
enlarging project. Perhaps we had better
try and carry the latter item of expense. 1t
is hard to withhold from tender minds the
| food they need for their healthful nOurish-
nent. But, 50 far we may do 50, wisely,
let us retrench and cheaper. Charity begins
be able to get away from here let's try and
keep everything as fairly economical as pos
sble, this side of niggardness and false fru-
gality. This has been good long deal; but
the game and we are quits; and split milk
never was worth watering with tears Now
let's snuggle up and save our. pennies. AS
we stood in the bright Spring sunlight yester
day inbibing the inspiration of his wit and
wisdom from a distinguished bencher of the
courts of law, an auction which was holding in
the street attracted his attention. "There,
said he, where you see those animals and
that knot of men, is the last mOmentOus end
ING of the Great Mule Case Presently,
while yet we stood together, the band of
mules was driven past With shame faced
downcast expression, (for being III such COM
pany), marched a mare, new III her condition
Of maternity, with her happy, unweaned colt
10y her side. The mare, We say, had the air OF
one who had seen better days, and whose
better and earlier associates were of other
sort and fashion than such beasts of burden
as those among which she was being driven.
But the colt, all innocense and glee and
happiness, was as blithe and merry and froic
some as the colt of the proudest arabian or
the pampered foal of the tieetest tavorlte of
the paddock and the turf. Now what do we
see in all this! What saw our erudite and
companion! What does the
reader of the MORNING APPEAL observe! Do
not the cheering possibilltesO OF happy poverty
present themselves to the rejecting mind!
Has the reader never seen little child upon |
ali aims house porch, born into pauperdom and |
begotten as this thOughtless colt was
begotten, amidst the travail Of lawsuit |
amidst debt and want and hard faced penury, |
its toy as the bankers baby, yonder, with its |
coral rattle and its golden spoon! Go to oh
dreary stocker; give over this dependency;
reflect, as becomes man who can summon
up man philosophy and man own SIM
pie manfuness how little Is needed to bring
comfort and happiness and calm content. Do
not let yourself be OutdOne III the capacity
for enjoyment by a colt whose mother is
:O-asset with the shabby remnants of a dis
equitable mule team, and who was born into
his Iitgious world while the mare who gives
t milk was eating her very head off for fees

mines. He reports having made quite a
thorough examination of the mine which eX-

edge is not large, but the lode seems clearly

She'd be a mutton-chop.

Became cold, cold corse,
