THE last Legislature, with Demo.
cratic majority of thirty, was the most
inefficient, imbecile, profigate, and cor
rupt in the history of the State. 1t drew
pay for 297 days, loaded the statute
books with vicious legislation, added
81 100000 to the burdens of local taxa
tion, threw the State institutions into
hopeless confusion. and trampled upon
the principle that, the people have a
right to govern themselves, Ohio will
not try another Legislature with Dem
ocratic majority very soon.

The Monastery at Kiev.

The great monastery at Kiev is the
richest and most holy of the Russian
shrines. The tombs of the saints Are in
catacombs cut in the rocks oyerhanging
the Dnieper, on which the monastery
stands. Over 100000 pilgrims, chiefly
from the provinces Of Great Russia,
arrive here during the course of the year,
and their donations are great source OF
wealth. All day long the entrance is
lined by rows Of beggars, to whom the
spiety of the Russian pilgrim compels HIM
to extend his charity. These persons
have bought from the monks the PRIV
|legc Of occupying the profitable stations
where they pass the day, and it is said
that some Of these posts are valued as
high as 1000 roublcs year. The gov
eminent is pefectly aware of the abuses OF
the whole system, but in face Of the
superstition of the people and the firm
attitude of the clergy, it is powcrless.
A good story is told OF the Emperor
Nicholas. At the time Of the great wars
with Napoleon, Alexander l. worked
sufficiently on the patriotism of the
monks to induce them to make loan of
1000, 900 roubles to the government, for
which the emperor gave his personal
bond. When Nicholas, shortly after his
accession, visited Kiev, the monks pre-
sented this bond to him. Nicholas was
affected to tears, congratulated them on
the possession of so valuable souveni,
of his revered father, and earnestly begged
them to preserve it with the greatest care

From the tower above is the eu.known face
~ the old town clock. From it's lofty place,
Over the tree tops swaying tall,
It patiently tells the time to all.

So close and dense the green leaves grow,
Its pointing hands can scarce be seen; 5
But over the rustling boughs OF green,
And mingled with joyous song OF bird
It's warning voice is ever heard,
Throughout each day and silent night
While the stars o'erhead are cleaning Drlgnt,
