THE TYPOS BRIDE.

Come to my arms, you lovely "quod,"
My charming little Nell;
NV bride, I'll "set'' you in bourgeois"
Trimmed round with "nonparell,"
Your "form," is beauteous to behold.
And ruddy is your "face;"
Your "color" CLOVIS just like to one
Returning from the "chase."
O had "space" to tell you all
The charms that, when girl,
You did possess, and gave the proof"
In ''agate'' and in pearl"
could not in column" write,
OF ''pica" or "brevier,"
The measure" of your matchless worth,
Or Justify" you, dear.
"Long primer" it would take to do
Your picture, and not flatter;
The "copy" to my heart I'd ''press."
For lack OF other matter"
Were you arrayed in costly "dress,''
A diamond" in your hair.
Or stripped just like galley" slave,
You'd be to me as fair.
And should ''minion" round you fawn,
On him I'd put a "head:"
And with my trusty "shooting-stick,"
I'd fill him full of 'lead.''
Happy through life. in every "case,''
This 'rule'' we'd rest upon;
I'd be to you true manhood's "type,"
And you my paragon"

TON SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER
Just to Oblige Father.

Justice alley had hardly been opened
to legal business yesterday morning
when q sleigh containing seven or eight
persons from beyond the city limits
drove up to the door of q popular justice
and piled out with an air of business.
His Honor was poking up the fire when
and whispered:
"Got a Job .of splicing here for ye!
My darter Sarah here is going to hitch
to that chap there with the blue comfor'
ter, and then we're going out to have
some oysters"
"All right-all right" was the reply
and in two minutes the officer was all
ready.
The man with the blue comforter
peeled his overcoat, laid aside his hat
and extended his hand to Sarah.
II won't do it'll die first!" she
said, as she shrank away.
"She's leetle timid-a leetle tim1d, y
explained the old man, while the moth
er rebukingly observed:

"And don't you forgit it'll" added
William. "Come, Sarah"
II won't unless we can 60 to New
York on bride tower!" she snapped.
"You'd look nice bride towering
around New York with no better buds
than you've got !" said the mother.
"Now, Sarah. you stand up and git
married !"
"Be keerful, mother-don't make lei
mad!" warned the old man. Nov,
Sarah, if ye back out everybody will laf1

II don't keer! I want to travel"
"You shall, }" answered William.
"Where?"
"We'll all 60 up to the House of Cor
rection."
"Tain't far huff"
The old man beckoned William and
Sarah aside and began.
"Now, Sarah, William jist dotes on
you"
but want bride tower"
"Xes, but ye can't have one. The
railroads are all showed under, and
towers have gone out of fashion any
how"
"Then I want a diamond ring"
"Now don't say that. Sarah, for

honor of the State can be saved and her |
credit re.established. In no other way
can it be done. It is not doubted the
Readjusters will favor such an amend
ment of our State constitution. Will
those who are proud of the name of
debt.payers, accept the only feasible
mode of accomplishing what they de.
sire? 1t is hoped they will. They
ought to do 80. It Is true gerry large
property holders and capitalists would
have to pay larger tax than under the
present dd V0l0rena system. They, how
ever, can bear an increase of their taxes,
whilst the small property holders and
agriculturists, who constitute the great
body of the people, cannot. The latter
cannot, without great difficulty, pay
their present taxes. Bad seasons, with
failure Of crops for few years. would
bring ruin on them. Steps should at
once be taken looking to reduction of
their taxes. Under the adj v0lorem sys-
tenn, no reduction can be made.
Other and weighty considerations of
public interest and safety require an
abandonment OF the present system
The liberty of the people is in danger Of
being overthrown by the concentration
of wealth in few hands and In corpo-
rate bodies, tending to revival, in an
other form, of the feudal system with its
vassals and military monarchy. The
proposed system of taxation is calcula-
ted to counterfeit this tendency. But
it may be said the great railroad corpo-
rations with their millions of real estate
and personal property cannot stand
such system as that proposed
without increasing their rates Of trans.
portation, and that such increase
would be, in substance, an indi>
rect tax on freight and travel. Sup
pose this is SO. An indirect tax on
travel and freight on surplus productions
and goods consumed, is far less burden
some to the people than direct tax re.
quiring the cash to be raised at what
ever sacrifice. Moreover, by the exer
else of the power of taxation, in the
mode indicated, the railroads within
the Commonwealth could, eventually
be brought back under the control Of
the State. J. w. g.

WHAT SHALL WE DRINK ?-The ed
itor of Science discusses at length the
value of the different articles Of food
which generally enter into consump-
ton. Chocolate, he says, from its large
proportion of albumen, is the most nu-
tritive beverage, but at the same time,
from its quantity of fat, the most diff
cult to digest. Its aromatic substances,
however, strengthen the digestion. A
cup of chocolate is an excellent restora-
tive and invigorator even for weak per-
sons, provided their digestive organs
lieu attributed to chocolate his health
and coffee do not afford this advantage.
.Albumen in tea leaves and legumin in
coffee berries are represented in very
scanty proportions. The praise of tea
and coffee as nutritive substances is,
therefore, hardly warranted. Tea and
coffee, though of themselves not diff
cult of digestion, tend to disturb the d.
gestion of albuminous substances by pre-
cipitating them from their dissolved
state.
Milk, therefore, if mixed with tea or
coffee, is more difficult of digestion than
if taken alone, and coffee alone without
cream promotes digestion after dinner
by increasing the secretion of the dis
solving juices. The volatile oil of coffee
and the empyreumatic and aromatic
matters of chocolate accelerate the cir
culation, which, on the other hand, is
Gained by tea. Tea and coffee both ex-
cite the activity of the brain and nerves.
Tea. it is said, increases the power of
digesting the impressions we have re-
ceived. creates thorough meditation,
and, in spite of the movements of
thoughts, permits the attention to be
fixed upon a. certain subject. On the
other hand, if tea is taken in excess, it
causes an increased irritation of the
nerves, characterized by sleeplessness,
with general feeling of restlessness
and trembling of the limbs. Coffee, also,
if taken in excess, produces sleepless-
ness and many baneful effects very
similar to those arising from tea drink
ing. Coffee, however, produces greater
excitement, and sensation of restless
ness and heat ensues. For throwing off
this condition fresh air is the best anti
dOte.

A TALE OF LOVE AND SACRIFICE

A TALE OF LOVE AND SACRIFICE
"But, papa"
"Not another word; I'm wild cat
when my backs up, and don't you for.
get it,"
The speaker was a hard visaged man,
dressed with an elegance that ill-accord-
ed with his evident want of culture.
She who addressed him as ''papa" was
a fairhaired girl of eighteen summers.
Reared on the knee Of luxury, she had
never known what it was to have her
slightest wish thwarted. Her father, a
plumber, was, from the nature of his
business, man of iron will, but he was
not devoid of pity or generosity, as
many debtor whose house and lot he
had taken in part payment for fixing
the water pipes, letting the balance of
the account run along for two months,
could testify. He had surrounded Co.
Gil, has only child, with all that wealth
could purchase, looking forward to the
time when she would marry the eldest
son of Niagara Falls hackman, or
some person Of fortune commensurate
with her own. But she had allowed
her heart to he ensnared by the wiles of
Cupid, and that morning had asked her
sire's consent to her marriage with a
poor but not proud young man whose
agricultural operations on the Board of
Trade had not been attended with sue
cess. It was this request that produced
the answer given above.
Again Cecil pleaded with her parent
not to crush the love that blossomed in
her heart. The old mans mind went
back to the happy days when he had
he mi nj io nd
they commenced life with nothing but
strong arms and willing hearts. Placing
his tan-like hand on Cecil's shoulder,
the old man looked at her tenderly and
SAID look ye, my lass. You say

son dat war gwine out in de world to
seek his fortin," began the old man. the
other night, as hush crept down the hall,
II should say to him not to talk too
much, nor yet to be too silent. Dat class
of men who am allus shootin' off de
mouf am no wus dan de class who sot
am look as wise as owls, but hev muffin
to say. De one talks because he dOan'
know how to keep still. De udder keeps
still bekase he doan' know muffin to say.
If dar ebber was time when a man
who set an rolled his eyes an pucker-
ed his mouf an kept his tongue still
was taken to be some great gun of a
dat time has skipped an will
neber return. I neber bet on a man
who talks too much, an neber trust
de man who doan' talk at all. What I
search for am de happy middle ground.
Dat is, fura man who knows when to
talk an when to keep his head shet
when I find him I hitch right on to
him wild chain an paddock"
