The Internal Revenue.

Commissioner Raum reports that ONE
hundred and thirteen million ofdollars
were collected last year, without any
loss to the Treasury and at cost O.
only three and seven-tenths per cent
The country has lost ten or eleven mil
lions upon the tobacco tax, which was
removed to oblige gentlemen in Vir
ginia who are now threatening, after
having received handsome lift from
the government,to to strike deadly blow
at important American industries. The
Commissioner shows that the collection
of revenues in the South is in many cases
a perilous matter. Not only have five
officers bsen killed and twenty-three
wounded by illicit distillers during the
year, but some of the Southern State
courts have lent themselves to the work
of harrassing and prosecuting the reve-
nue. officers in the interests of violators
of the laws.

/, bilant over the event, and predict from

and his adhersnts at the next general
election, which, however, the Prime
Minister seems in no haste to bring on.
His speech at London, OH Monday last,
on the occasion of the Lord Mayors
banquet, has furnished the text for b
number Of very severe rejoinders, the
chief point Of which seems to be de-
nunciation Of the two wars in Afghan
istan aud Zululand, which the Liberals
deem to have been unnecessary, and
therefore unjust. As is general In such
discussions, the anti-war party gathers
to itself q great many advocates whose
voice and sympathy are not evoked In
the ordinary course Of political discus
sions, and the general opinion seems to
be that the present administration is
not as strong with the people now as 1t
was twelve months ago. l.. c.

The Young Man-yo. 4.

You have thought, meditated and
seen. Ton have listened to the still,
small voice within, and know that
something is in. the way. 1t is defile-
ment Of some sort. Most young men
have it, unless they have been cleansed
iu some way at an early period OF life.
/. With some, tippling is in the way.
Is it in yours, dear young man II 80,
you are to be pitied. But you are not
lost, and | am encouraged to offer you a
helping hand, for If you can be rescued
from this peril you may develop no.
bic type OF manhood. Have you con-
sidsred the inevitable consequences of
tippling-of indulging in the use of
beer, wine or strong drink 1t leads
TO drunkenness, and drunkenness leads
to poverty, to disgrace, 10 temporal
ruin, to death, and lowell, whatever
is dreadful beyond death. Have you
gone so far as to realize that the appe-
tits for strong drink is raging! 1t is a
giant that is slowly but surely binding
you with cords that can never be bro
ken by any human power. Every time
you take glass you are giving the
monster another chain wherewith to
bind you hard and fast. 0, listen to
an old man that has seen much Of his
doings, wept over many young men
who have fallen by his fascinating
charms, and beheld the desolation and
misery which he has wrought. He is
weak now, because you have not en-
tirely fallen into his power, and you
may throttle him on the spot. But
there is only one way to do it; stop
tippling at once. If you daily with
this artful and treacherous foe you are
ruined. Ere you are aware of it you
will be bound hand and foot, and then,
without miracle of grace, you will be
lost forever. Think how many promis-
ing young men have been ruined by
this fatal habit. Remove it out of your
path cleanse your way in this respect.
If you have not defled your way by
tippling, preserve your freedom. New
er yield to the temptation and you will
always bs free man, so far as intern
perance is concerned. THE OLp MAN.

Sticking to the Celtic.

As we fingered over our dessert,
my good priest expatiated upon the
beauties of the Irish language, which
is certainly the best preserved, as it is
the purest, OF all the Celtic dialects
1t contains written remains transmit
ted from so remote an antiquity that
it has become nearly unintelllgible.
Manuscripts so old that they had be-
come ancient in the fourth and fifth
centuries, and required a glossary,
which glossary has become nearly as
obsolete as the work it was designed
to explain, formed part of the posses.
sions Of this Language. As at evil
dence of the love Of the peasantry OF
Connaughtl for their own tongue, he
told the story OF a PRIEST who was
called upon to administer the last rites
to an old woman. As he entered she
spoke to him in English; he con-
versed with her a few moments,
whereupon she began her confession
in Irish. To the priest this was an
unknown tongue, and he told her so.
"If you can't speak to me in my own
language" she said, "what brought
you here 7"
He replied: "You understand Eng,
lish, wherein the rites can be as well
administered as in Irish.
The dying woman raised herself
from her pallet Of straw, and angrily
cried
Sand do you think I am going to
say my last words to the Great God
in the language of the Sasenach"
with which she dismissed him. II.

his country's service. And though he
came down from wrong idea Of life
to true one he didn't come down
from the foretop Of the "Hartford,"
when he brought his fleet through the
fires of the forts with his flag flying
to New Orleans.
He came down the right tree, the
tree of his bad habits, as boy, and
this enabled him to conquer as he
stood up through all that fearful fight,
on the foretop of his vessel, and drove
his ship safely into the harbor.
