~ Earnest, q bright bov of seven wears.
Oldest child Of Mr. Samuel Templeton,
gate-keeper on the Praireville gravel
road. just below this city, met with an &C.
cident on Thursday of last week which
resulted in his death soon afterwards.
About noon on that day he mounted a
> wagon loaded with wood with the inten-
ton of unloading it. The lad seized a
stick, and was in the act of throwing it to
the ground, when he lost his equilibrium
and fell, head foremost, to the earth. His
cries brought his father to his assistance,
who led him into the house. The hoy
did not seem to be much injured. He was
conscious, explained to his father how he
d, fell. pointed out his bruises and conversed
. nationally for an hour. when he suddenly
b lost consciousness and remained in that
about six hours after the accident.
The night preceding the above sad acct
dent Mrs. Templeton, the mother of the
child, had strange presentiment OF his
death. Early in the evening, while the
child was asleep, she approached his little
bed, and looking earnestly into his face.
burst into tears. The grief with which
. she was overcome was intense and uncon-
uOiiduic. IL dttTdCltu utT UusuduuS AZ

Samuel" the weeping mother answered.
81 don't. think We Will ever raise this
child" II can see no cause for your
fears, replied the father. 1.-The child is as
healthy as can be-" But this answer did
not satisfy the mother. Strange shadows
crossed her vision; an unseen grief OPP
pressed her; the presage of some horrible
coming event cast burden on her soul
she scarce could bear.
At the usual hour the sobbing mother
retired, but her rest was uneasy. To-
wards midnight she arose from her bed
and again sought the couch Of her boy,
) who slept the deep, sweet sleep of inno-
cent childhood, all unconscious of the
: grief-ssricken mother who bent over him,
bathing his face with tears and kisses.
Mr.. Templeton expostulated with his
wife, and assured her that her fears were
mere within, and begged her to calm
her grief and 60 to sleep. But no sleep
came to that mothers relief that night,
sapd day broke to bring her no respite
from the sad burden her bleeding heart
/. bore u The slightest unusual noise about
the house thrilled her with evil forebod-
ings, and thus the weary hours dragged
Z on until the foreshadowed end came in
the accident as above related .-Loutstana

The Taxes.

Thore is no ono in tho State so
insane as to believe that another tax
can be paid this spring, yet it is
equally absurd to suppose that tho
State government can be maintained
without money. How to extricate
themselves from this dilemma is
porploxing tho Legislature. This
suggestion is therefore made to
them gratis
Tho lovy should be reduced to tho
lowest possible figure, Of course,
and should be mado payable in two
instalmcnts ; ono-fourth in the
spring and the balance in the fall.
Instead of charging interest on tho
first instalment, if not paid, as was
tho method adopted last year, lot the
fifteen per cent. penalty on the first
instalment attach as soon as the last
day for paying it has expired, but
the property should not bo declared
delinquent until after tho expiration
of the timo for paying tho other
instalment. It is rather prepostor-
GUS to charge interest on taxes, cs-,
pecially since tho adoption Of tho
usury law; and tho imposition of tho
penalty is tho truo theory. Tho
operation of this proposed plan will
be satisfactory. There arc NUNS
bor of capitalists who will pay their
instalments to avoid mourning any
penalty, and the money thus collect
cd will support tho government
during the summer. Those who
have no funds can let the penalty
attach, and pay tho whole amount
in tho fall. Tho penalty of fifteen
por cent. on one fourth Of the tax will
bo but one~fourth Of fifteen per cont.
or throe and three quarters per
cent on tho entire tax. 70 illus
trate: Iftho tnx Oh As property is
ono hundred dollars, he is required
to pay Twenty-Five dollars in tho
spring, and sevcnty.iivo dollars in
tho fall. If he fails to meet the
first instalment, penalty of three
dollars and soventy-ive cents will
be charged against him, and in the
fall he pays his ono hundred and
thrco dollars and sovcnty-fivo conts.
At ton mills, ono hundred dollars
represents ten thousand dollars.
whilo the whole tax with tho penalty
attachod is but ten and three
o'ghths mills, tho thrcc- -cighths of u
mill being tho price fixed by tho
taxpayer for tho privilege Of post
poning payment until another crop
comes in. For q ton dollar tax, The
privilege will cost but thirty-sovon
and q half cents.
Last year tho instalments wcro
half and half, but as; q creator nuns
Der can pay one-fo,erth than one
half, tho additional individual pay,
ments may, in tho aggregate, roalizo
moro than would be secured by ro-
quiring one-half. This is an couita>
bic adjustment, and it should be
accepted by all parties.

called to the fact that a very young girl ap-
parently not more than ten years Of age.
and Of very bright appearance and richly
dressed. had engaged q private box at the
theatre for four successive nights this week.
which abe paid for herself and occupied
with young companions. She was "shad-
owed and her ways OF life Ascertained.
They revealed an extravagancs and in
dependence unparalleled IN one 90 young.
She engaged hacks continually. sometimes
paying as much as SIS and $50 per day for
their hire alone. purchased furs. dress goods,
diamonds and other jewelry. with . lav sa
hand. and was equally ~extravagant in
ledge that within . few months she had
squandered upwards Of s2.7oo. She Is an
heiress in her own right, and the moneys
abe obtained. on various pretences. one
that she was the favorite of n well known
wealthy gentleman who invested It for her.
and others that she needed It for books at
school. contributions at Sunday School and
the like. She accounted for the articles Of
her purchase by saying that they were
given to her by the gentleman above al.
luded to. The precocity Of her powers Of
deceit and the plausibility Of her represen-
tations were very wonderful for one so young.
and her mother and grandfather were COM
pletely deceived When the facts were
made known by the confession Of the girl
in the presence Of the detectives. they were
utterly astounded- The lesson Of the pain
