erment fee on $4,000 legacy is
1000, and 81, 500 if there is no
will, and ii the legacy be $l,00O,-
900, the queens fee is S77,5c0, or
without will more than $780,
600. If yon study and become a
barrister, the admission costs you
$3.50, or as much as you are likely
t. earn the first year. If you
graduate in medicine you pay $50.
If you become a mere notary pub
lie to administer oaths, it costs you
$3.50. When you execute a lease
to rent your house for anything
over $3.50 year, You pay about
seventy cents. If you want arms
and crest on your carriage, you
pay 81, and if you get these arms
"granted' to you, and i'll a measure
fully recognized, you have to pay
$50 license. One carriage is taxes
$11 year. Your cog costs S1.2:
q wear. For a license to carry /:
gun, you pay 81. The tax OF

Josh Billings thus writes to an
old friend about marrying:
By all means, Joe, get married,
if you have a fair showing. Don't
stand shivering on the bank, but
pitch rite in and stick your head
under, and the shiver is over. Thar
amt DO more trick in getting mar
ried than thar is in eating peanuts.
Menny a man has stood shivering
on the shore until the river run out.
Don't expect to marry an angel ;
them hev all been picked up long
ago. Remember, Joe, you amt a
saint yourself. Do not marry for
buty exclusively buty is like ice,
auful slippeary and thaws dreadful
easy. DON'T marry tor luv, neither,
luv is like a cooking stove, good
for nothing when the fuel gives out.
But let the mixture be some buty
becomingly crossed with about $50
in her pocket, gud speller, handy
and neat in her house, plenty OF
good sense, tuff constitution and
bylaws, light step, small feet
and sound teeth and warm heart
This mixture will keep in any
climate, and will not evaporate
Ii the cork happens to be lett out
the strength amt gone, Joe. Dom
marry for pedigree, unless it il
backed by bark notes. A family
with nothing but pedigree general
ly lack sense.

Purified Love.

All men and women must love
something. If our thoughts are
pure we love birds, flowers and all
beautiful things. In their contem-
plation we are happy, and there
comes to our brain steady
strength. 1t is such a rest from
labor to look up the fragrant flow
ers placed each morning on our
dcsk-to hear our pet canary sing
his roundelay of welcome-to be-
hold evidence of thrift and nestness
all about, as these children of order
and system reward the senses. It
is related of man that he sometimes
called his wife his little darling
zhfs peffte pet People smiled at
him because they did not under
stand his motives. He held a warm.
trusting, loving heart, great,
manly love all about the object OF
that love, and SO she was his little
pet-his darling. We are like
chameleous and colors as we feed
mentally. If we love the beautiful
we are happy. If We love the
coarse, the vulgar, the objects OF
influences that give no sweet re-
turn, lite becomes blank, the sou
cracks and shrinks into a bundle oi
nailrods to lacerate the mental mar
and we are on the direct road tc
ruin. What a beautiful world this
world would be if all would only
ornament their homes and theil
hearts by cultivatlng and keeping
alive their love for pets, no matter
what their form or condition.

Since tbe death Of Amos T. Aka,

Since the death of Amos T. Aker-
man, the cause of his resignation as
United States Attorney general has
been again made public. 1t seems
that he refused to lend his official
opinion to swindling Honduras
claim for 100000, although urged
to do 90 by President Grant. He
reported against the claim and an
gered Grants pals, who finally
caused him to resign. ''He prefer
red, says the historian, "to give up
his Office rather than to be an in
strument to the fraud and corrup-
ton that unprincipled men were
making an effort to perpretrate
upon the government of the coun-
try that he loved"

A Strangers Mistake.

A few days ago a western mer-
chant who wanted to do some sight
seeing and buy his fall stock at the
same time, entered a dry goods
jobbing house on Broadway, New
York, and accosted the first per-
son he met with. Are you the
proprietor here?' Not exactly
the proprietor was the reply. AT
present [ am acting as shipping
clerk, but l am cutting my cards
fo, a partnership next year by or
ganizlng noon prayer meetings in
the basement
The stranger passed on to very
important looking parsonage with
diamond pin, and asked eAro
you the head Of the house 2
well, no; I can't say as I am at
present, but I have hopes of q
partnership in January. I'm only
one of the travellers just now, but
Pm laying for $500 pew in an up
town church, and that will mean .
quarter interest here in less than
six months
The next mar had his feet up, his
hat back and a twenty-five cent
segar in his mouth, and looked so
solid that the stranger said:
You must run this establish7
ment2
ME? Well, I may run it very
soon. AT present Pm the book
keeper, but Pm expecting to get
into a church choir with the old
} mans darling and become an equal
. partner here
The stranger was determined not
to make another mistake. He
walked around till he found a man
with his coat off and busy with q
case of goods, and said to him:
The porters are kept pretty busy
in here, see.'
Yes, was the brief reply.
But | suppose you are planning
to invent gospil hymn book ant
sing the old man out of an eightl
interest, aren't you p
well, no, not exactly was th,
y quiet reply. I'm the old man him
d self
S And all that the stranger said
S after long minute spent IN lookin.
