THE City Treasurer requests US to
correct al error into which q number of
our citizens seem to have fallen, in re-
gard to time allowed for the payment of
taxes. He has until the 9Th OF March
in which TO make his return 10 the
County Treasurer; but it does not fol-
low from this that taxpayers have the
same privilege. All taxes are past due,
and unless paid forthwith, the Treas
urer will be compelled by law to levy
upon the property upon which the as
sessment was made.
& BILL Is before the Legislature to
increase the per diem of members of
tine County Board in each county to
three dollars per day. 1t also limits the
number OF days to be spent in such
service, and provides that no extra pay
shall be received for service on com
mittee work. Three dollars is not too
much, and we think the bill ought to
pass. It is hardly probable, though,
that q majority of our County Board
would accept more than two dollars,
their determination to be economical? CD
forbidding it!

True SOCIETY," begins at home. When two
young people love each other, and marry,
they restore the picture of the apostolic
church. They are of one heart and one soul
neither do they say that anything they pos
sess is their own, but they have all things in
common. Their mutual trust in each other,
their confidence in each other, draws out all
that is best in both. Love is the angel who
rolls away the stone from the grave in which
we bury our better nature, and it comes forth.
Love makes all things new makes a new
heaven and new earth makes all cares
light, all pain easy. 1t is easy. 1t is the one
enchantment of human life which realizes
Fortunio's purse and Aladdin's palace and
turns the "Arabian Nights" into mere prose
in comparison. Think how this old story of
love is repeated forever in all the novels and
romances and poems, and how we never tire
of reading about it :; and how, if there is to
be n wedding in the church, all mankind Co.
Just to have one look at two persons who are
supposed, at least, TO be in love, and so su-
premely happy. But this, also is not per-
feet society. 1t is too narrow, too exclusive.
1t shows the power of devotion, trust, self-sur-
render, that there is in the human heart and
it is also a prophecy of something larger that
is TO come. But it is at least a home, and be-
fore real society can come, true homes must
come. As in q sheltered nook in the midst of
the great sea of ice which rolls down from the
summit of Mt. Blanc is found little green
spot full of tender flowers, so, in the shelter
of home, in the warm atmosphere of house
hold love, spring up the pure affection of pa
rent and child father, mother, son, daugh-
ter; of brothers aud sisters. Whatever makes
this insecure, and divorce frequent, makes of
marriage not union for life, but an expert
ment which may be tried as often as we
choose, and abandoned when we like. And
this cuts up by the roots all the dear affec-
tions of home leaves children orphaned, de-
stroys fatherly and motherly love, and is a
virtual dissolution of society. 1 know the
great difficulties of this question, and how
much wisdom is required to solve them. But
whatever weakens the permanence of mar
riage tends to dissolve society for permanent
homes are to the social state what the little
cells are to the body. They are the COM
mencement of organic life, the centres from
which all organization proceeds. s.-Reo. James

munerative prices are obtained for wall space.

THESE PREcocIoUs CoAcHED-UP CHILDREN
are never well. Their mental excitment keeps
up a flush, which, like the excitement caused
by strong drink in older children, looks like
health but has no relation to it. If you look at
the tongues of these children you see them to
be furred or covered with many red points
like a strawberry, or to be too red and very
dry. If you inquire into the state of the ap-
petite, you will find that the appetite is ca
PRECIOUS that all kinds of strange food are
asked for, and that the stomach never seems
TO be in order If you watch the face for
long you note that the frequent flush gives
way TO an unearthly paleness. If you watch
the eyes, you observe that they gleam with
light at one time and are dull, depressed and
sad at another, while they never are laughing
eyes. Their brightness is the brightness of
thought on the strain, an evanescent and dan
gerous phenomenon. If you feel the muscles,
they are thin and habby though in some in
stances they may be fairly covered with fat.
If you inquire as to the sleep these children
get, YOU hear that it is disturbed, restless, and
sometimes broken, passing through strange
abodes and narrow crevices which it seems
impossible to squeeze into; and waking in q
start, with the body cold, in what is common
ly called a nightmare, and sometimes in SOM
nambulism or sleep-walking, The bad sleep
naturally leads to certain over-wakeful Ian
guor the next day, but strangely enough, it
interferes with the natural advent of sleep the
next night so that sleeplessness at night be-
comes a habit. The child must be read to
sleep or told stories until it is of, and thus it
falls into slumber fed with the food of dreams,
worries, cares and wonders. In this period of
early education, first state of what may be
fairly called the intemperance of education,
the recreations that are adopted for the little
scholar are often as pernicious as any other
part of the system in which he or she is train
ed. During the day -pastimes, want of fresh
ness and freedom prevails, almost of necess-
ity, in large towns and this want is often
made worse than it need to be by inattention
or deficiency of knowledge. - GentIemGns

Coon ADVICE To YOUNG MEN Who ARE
TRYING TO GET AHEAD.-Never complain that
your employers are selfish. Not that they are
otherwise, but it will not help matters to
growl about it. They are selfish. Their en-
ployers, when they were young, were no
doubt selfish, and from them they learned the
lesson. You, too, will learn it, and when you
become employers you'll be selfish too. 1t is
from selfish motives that men engage in
trade, and selishness rules their actions OF
course it would be better, and wiser, and all
that, if they were not selfish, but they are.
Now, what are you going TO do about it !?
Why, make it for their selfish interests to do
better by you, and they will. Respect your
selves, and you'll make them respect you.
Remember that you are at a disadvantage,
that there are a hundred ready to climb into
your place if you do not fill it, and that those
who employ you are fully aware Of the fact
and ready to make the most they can out of
it. Remember that if you are getting $1,000
this year and want $500 next year, you've
got to earn the $500 this year. You've got
TO pay for promotion, often an exorbitant
price, and as you have no other means to pay
with, you've got to pay in work. OF course
it's unjust, of course il seems hard that your
employer should keep and spend money that
you have justly earned, but, Causeur's word
for it, it won't pay to fret or growl about it.
Never be satisfied with having learned your
money" Earn more than your money, and
then, in a manly, straightforward business
like way, ask for more pay. Ten chances to
one you'll get it, If you don't, look about,
and as soon as you've found better place,
discharge your employer. The hard work
that you have DONE the record of it, and the
reputation you will have established for hard
work, will make the task of finding new EN-
bloyment comparatively easy, Your capacity
for work is your only capital. Invest heavily
and you are sure to win.-BOstOR Transcript.

Grid me with the strength Of Thy steadfsst hils
The speed of Thy streams give me!
In the spirit that calms with the life that thrills,
would stand or run for Thee.
Let me be Thy voice, or Thy silent power
As the cataract or the peak
An eternal thought in my earthly hour,
OF the living God TO speak
Clothe me in the rose-tints Of Thy skies
Upon morning SUBMITS laid:
Robe me in the purple and gold that flies
Through Thy shuttles Of light and shade;
Let me rise and rejoice in Thy smile Alright,
As mountains and forests do;
Let me welcome Thy twilight and Thy night,
And wait f)r Thy dawn anew!
Give me Ct the brooks faith, joyously sung
Under clank Of its icy chain!
Give me of the patience that hides among
Thy hill-tops in mist and rain
Lift me up from the clod; let me breate Thy breath
Thy beauty and strength give me!
Let me lose both the and the meaning Of death
In the life that share with Thee!
