TAXING CAPITAL STOCK.
A fow tlays ago ve Ind some remarks on
tho subject OF taxing the capital stock Of In
corpornted companies In excess Of tho value
of the property owned by the companies.
Tho subject Is still under consideration In
tho Legislature, and, whether 1t sustains the
Inv or not, will not change tho character OF
tho evil Inv, nor redeem It from tho igno-
rance and prejudice which prompt 1t. The
law assumoa TINT capital In tho hands Of an
Incorporated company must have a dual
character and valno. It assumes TINT whore
two or moro men become incorporated undar
tho statute, and issue to themselves printed
or written certificates showing the respective
amount Of interest each OWNS, that thore-
upon tho company becomes possessed for
taxnb1o purposes Of property to the value
OF the capitat stock in addition to tho value Of
tho tangible and visible property of the com.
many. Tho INV then proceeds 10 tax the
same accordingly. by tho first assessment
for taxable purposes after tho enactment Of
this law, the Assessors aud the State Boartl Of
Equalization found that the land. right Of

what Kind Words May DO.

Francis Murphy, the temperance
agitator, shook hands with Capt sturdi-
want on the platform of Pittsburgh
church on June 6, then turned to the vast
audience that had assembled to welcome
him. and in hoarse voice told them very
simply what his friend had done for him +:
''Seven years ago, as ! lay in a dungeon
longing for kind word and tender
touch of the hand, never thought |
would lead such life as this and stand
before you as I do tonight. While was
committed Capt. Sturdivant-this good
man who is here to-night-came to me one
Sabbath day. will never forget that day.
He met Inc in the corridor of the jail,
where we had all been called out, and We're
sitting on the benches When l saw him
1 thought to myself he is a good man; he
seemed to me like father. never knew
what it was 10 have a father. l wanted to
talk to him. wanted to lay my head on
his shoulder and tell him how bad l felt,
how regretted the life had been leading,
and how ] would like to go down to my
faithful wife redeemed man. watched
him, and as the faces ofmy children in the
happy days before came before my mind
looking up to me with smiling counte
nances / wondered If he would speak tt
me. He did; and those words, spoken t.
me in the prison corridor, have been th'
means, through God, of bringing me t.
what am now"

To heaven, and vanished there.
Only the sound OF 4 rapturous song .-
Throbbed In the tremulous light;
Only voice could ltDger long
AT such wondrous hight.
"Drop me fsathsF"' but while cry,
Lo like vision fair,
The bird from the heart OF the glowing sky
Sinks through the joyous air.
Downward sinking and hiking alone,
but the song which was glad above
Takes even . deeper and dearef tsns,
For 1t trembles with earthly love.
And the feather asked from the boundiss

ASONG OF PEACE.

The grass IL green on Bunker Hill.
The waters sweet In the Brandy vine
The sword sleeps In the scAbbard stiil.
The farmer keeps his n0oks and vtAs,
Then who could mar the scene to-day
With vaunt Of battlefield or trayf
The brave corn lifts It's regiments
Ten thousand sAbers in the sun
The ricks replace the battle-teats,
The hammered tassels toss and run
The neixhing steed, the busle's blast
These be but stories Of the past.
The earth has healed her wounded breast,
The cannon plow the neld NO more,
The heroes rest. Oh, let them rest
In peace along the peaceful shore!
They fought for peace, for peace they fslli
They sleep In peace, and all II well.
The fields forget the battles fought,
The trenches wave in golden gram;
Still we neglect the lessons taught.
And tear the wounds agaps again
Sweet Mother Mature, nurse the land.
And heal her wounds with gentle hand.
I4o peace on earth 10 dock And fold;
I.ol rich abundance, fat increase,
And valleys clad In sheen Of gold,
Oh rise and sing song OF psass,
For Theseus roams the land no moro,
And Janus rests with fusted doos.

prepare you enough for a quarter of a
dollar to last long time. When you go

through the mouth thoroughly. If dis

IREFLIES.

TsAw, one sultry night above swamp,
The darkness fhrobbing with their golden
pOmpi
With the bright chaos Of their dizzy dance.
Quicker than yellow leaves, when gales
despoil,
Quiyersd the brillianee Of their mute turmoil
Within whose light was intricAtsiy blsns
FerpetuAl rise, perpetual descent,
As though their seintillsnt niokerings had
met
In the vague neshes of some airy net
And now mysteriously l seemed to guess,
While watching their tumultuous loveliness,
What fervor OF deep passion strangely thrives
In the warm Richness OF these tropatc lives,
Whose wings can never tremblo but they
show

WOMM n d.

Woman, who whilom was weak, was
wrought upon by the wedding words Of
the willy one, since when the world weeps
DER its wickedness. Wanting woman, the
world were waste, and we, vending our
way through its wilderness, would watt
our wailing to the winds and waves.
Woman, without thy winsome ways,
wealth we're worthless, will O. the wisp.
The witchery of thy wooing words works
wonder, like the waving of the wizard S
wand ; witness thy weariless watching over
the wounded and the wretehed, with
standing our waywardness through veal
or woe. Wanton waddlers on the wnne,
writing under wrinkles, may wage thee
warfare, but the wise, welcome aud wor-
ship thee.
