Do you suppose, when the mother
of my glorious boys wanted a six
pence to buy their shoe strings, I'd
scowl at her like hyena, and pull
my purse out of my pockets as if l

suppose, when her blue eyes grew
lustreless. and the rose paled on her
fair cheek, trotting round the do
mestic tread-lnill day after day,
that I'd come home at night sulky
and silent, and smoke my cigar in
her face till her eyes were as red as
o rabbits? or take myself off to q
club or game Of nine-pins, or any
other game, and leave her to the
exhilarating relaxation of darning
my stockings?
Do you suppose Id trot along
like loose pony at her side in the
street, and leave he: 20 keep up with
me or not, as her strength would
permit? Do you suppose I'd fly
into a passion and utter words to
crush the life out of her Young
heart, and then insult her by offer
ing healing plaster in the shape
of a new bonnet? And don't you
suppose, when the anniversary OF
our wedding came around, that I'd
write dainty little note and leave
it on her toilet table, to let her know
I was still married lover?

clothes were very much worn.
and here and there rent. His
hair stuck out through hole in the
crown of his hat, while the great
toe of his right foot peeped forth,
rudy and cheerful, from the boot.
The whiffs of smoke, drawn from a
short, black pipe, curled lazily from
his lips. His eyes were half-closed
and dreamy. His thoughts were in
dreamland. Bill had experienced
the ups and downs of Western life;
had been rich and poor by turns,
and was now very poor. He had
grown philosophic, and looked at
things in way different from what
he had in his youth. when ife's
pathway smiled to him, and seemed
rose garlanded.
Hello, Bill! been looking for
you," said the Tax Collector, com
ing up.
There was no response. He re-
peated:
''Bill, Hellol'
"Well?"
"Want to collect your tax"
"Haint no property"

Don't own no poll"
80 poll tax is tax on yourself,

Il amt no property
"But the County Court levied
this tax on you"
didn't authorize 'em to levy any
tax on me"
"The law does, though"
"What if it does; 'spose Tn goin
ter pay for breathin' the air?"
|
Still you are one of US; you live
here"
Il didn't bring myself into the
world
! "You exercise the privileges of
citizen: you vote"
Don't want to vote if you charge
for it"
Don't you want a voice in the
selection of oficers?"
No; if there wasn't no officers,
you wouldn't be here consumin' my
time"
THE schools must be supported;
we must educate the children"
IF you do they won't work"
There are other county ex-
penses-paupers, and SO on. If you
were to die without means, you
would want us to bury you"
'No, you needn't"
"Why, you would smell bad to
other people"
Il kin stan it, if they kin"
Il will levy on your property"
said the officer, growing impatient;
II will hunt it up"
an help you; wan. to see some
Of my property"
The officer moved on rather alb
ruptly, while Bill continued, as if
musing:
Let them fellers have their way,
an they'd make life a burden.
Want to assess my existence; want
to charge me for enjoyin' the bright
sunshine; ask me to pay for be-
holdin' the beautiful landscape;
charge me for lookin' at the grass
grow and the roses unfoldin';
charge me for watchin' the birds
fly, an one cloud chase t'other."

five, which has been the custom heretofore !;
that he inform himself Of the enumeration OF

that he may know how the fund 10 each

The total of these amounts was so clearly
erroneous, after cursory examination OF the
Treasurers report, that we determined upon
a minute examination of the entire collections
by the Treasurer and the distribution of same,
the amount paid to each ward, according to
number Of children, and to ascertain if any
ward had received more ti,an its due, in order
that Justice might be done all The Treas
urer's book, verified by the report sent from
the Office of Superintendent Of Public Edu, e

II, 1850. for teachers fund, $500 So; that
there has been distributed for teachers through

expense account S623.96, leaving a balance
on hand of $685. instead of Sll 81, as
reported in proceedings of old Board. The
Ex>presdent explained that this estimate was
made on funds that he thought might be in
