Well, Pat, are ye most through?
Through, is it cried /, widout
opening me lips through It's through
I'm soaked, besides bein' choked to
death. If you don't git me out of this,
it's dead I'll be intirely.'
why, what's the matter, Pat? said
the Arrl, and it's choked he was wild
laughing, I could till that, and it made
me mad.
"Matter ! says L Here's the whole

I noticed that the blessed wather was
lowerin' an prisintly it went fasther
and fasther, till was free Pat once more.
Then the masther let me out, as wet
as drownded rat, and told me-the-ah,

as I liked. So always afther that when
the folks wanted to taze me, they'd ask

elbow I should like to see an Earl I"
said Pansy, signing.
'Sure, an ye'd see nothing so very
grand" said Pat "He wasn't half the
man Misther Wood, yer father, is, for
he was one-sided and crooked, and he'd
a squint in his eye; but, for all that, he
was kind masther.'
"But he lived in castle, said Pansy,
reluctant to give up her visions.
"Och, an auld stone ruin wild scarcely
dacent room in it. Ye'd freeze to
death, Miss Pansy, in the great rooms,
wild small fire behint the screen. An
all the stairs was stone, and some places
the wather ran down the walls almost as
fast as it did in the BATH
"Couldn't he repair y" asked Pansy,
Pat shook his head.
"Aye, it took the money to do that,
Miss Pansy, and sometimes we'd not see
a penny among us for many a week.
We raised the pigs an the stock wild
what we growed, and my lady, Miss
Cathy, had the chicken money to buy
her new dress once year or so, I
ixpict the father of yes could buy him
out, castle and all, and niver feel it at
all"
"And was Lady Cathy very beauti-
full" asked Pansy, clinging to straw
as her Illusions vanished, one by one.
Beautiful, do ye say? All, she'd the
squint in the eyes of the ould Arrl, only
twicet as bad, an she couldn't hold
candle to you, Miss Pansy, or any of
yer sisters. Beautiful " and Pat leaned
back in his chair and laughed, while
Pansy went home more thoughtful than
usual, because her idea Of an Earl and
an Earl's daughter had not been real
ized.-Youth's Companion.

PILES.

PILES are frequently preceded by sense Of
weight in the back, loins and lower part of the
abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he has
gans. At times symptoms of indigestion are pres.
emit as fiatuency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc.
moisture like producing
getting warm in bed, is a very common attendant.
Internal External and Itching Piles yield at once
on the application Of Dr. Bosanko's Pile Remedy,
sorbing the Tumors, allaying the intense Itching,
and affecting permanent cure where all other
remedies have failed. Do not delay until the
drain on the system produces permanent disability,
but try it and be cured. Price, so cents. Ask
your druggist for it, and when you can not obtain

PeacOck Blue.
Ada Louisa Adele Depew
Bought her bonnet of Peacock Blue;
Bought her a bonnet and gown to match,
And necklace of blue with golden catch
Velvet and feathers and ribbons new;
And they all were alike Of the Peacock Blue.
Anna Elizabeth Leavitt Lowne
Made her bonnet Of velvet brown
Made it herself, for this maiden knew
There was no'one could make it with taste as true
Trimmed it with russell to match her gown;
And her gloves were as neat as the best in town.
Proud OF her handiwork frank and free,
Anna Elizabeth called to see
Ada Louisa, her friend 80 true,
Who had purchased the beautiful Peacock Blue
: All you have come for walk with me-
And to envy my elegant dress,' said she.
Anna Elizabeth felt no more
Proud of the pretty dress she wore
Said to herself, 6 There is nothing mino
OF 30 brilliant color or half 80 fne"
But the neat little thrush, with its notes clear
Need have naught from the peacock proud to fear

Beneficial Effect of vexation.

A French paper mentions the follow
ing as fact: ga shoeingsmith, resid-
ing in the Rue Princesse, who had been
for some time partially deprived of the
use of his legs by rheumatism, perceived
that some thief had taken away a num-
Der of horse-shoes. He was so excited
by this discovery that a profuse perspir-
ton burst out all over him, which, to his
amazement, had the effect of restoring
the use of his legs, and the first use he
made of his recovered powers was to walk
to the commits sary Of police TO make a
declaration of the theft"

50 ASSESSMENTS. g
The value Of all property IN the state subject
TO taxation, as returned by the assessors for
the past two years, are as follow:
In 1879. In 1880.

Total. $500 .s4o6, so3, 1s5 90 s425, 6sO, 14s 90
The state board of assessments fixed the
gross value of the taxable property in the
state at S445, 5S2, 10000, but even this sum is,
in my Judgment, much below its actual value
Tic is, of course. quite impossible to determine
lust how much this actual value may be, The
property which is actually listed and assessed
would probably reach not less than 800, O0O,-
900, and this fact should be borne in mind
when considering the rate of taxation.
The value of private property which pays no
revenue to the state, either by way Of direct
tax, or otherwise, is returned by the assessors
at 1888, 014.0O, as follows: @&si

TAXES. t1h
The total tax levied in the state for the year
1879, for all purposes, amounted to $7,077,-
1871, decrease of 1892, 091.73 from the
amount levied the previous year, and was at
the rate of $1.72 625-1000 ON each one hundred

RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.
The amount expended by the United States
during the past year for the improvement of
the FOX and Wisconsin rivers has been much
less than the Importance of the work reasonably
demanded; nevertheless. very substantial pro-
gress has been made, and the feasibility of
making these rivers practically navigable from
Lake Michigan to the Mississippi river has been
confirmed. In particular, the experiments
made n and continued along the Wisconsin prove
tnat when the waters of that river are confined
W!thn q channel not exceeding 800 feet in
width at low water, there is no difficulty what
ever IN maintaining ample depth of water for
all purposes of navigation. / therefore sug-
gest the Importance of your urging upon con-
Sfess the expediency of making adequate pro-
vision for the early completion of this work.
Inc Sturgeon Bay canal, though not yet COM
pleted, has been opened to commerce, and is
amply Justifying the arguments and prophecies

capacity of 32,071 tons, passed through the
caiiai- In 1880 the number of vessels was $685.

Was all the world to him.
What brought that glad light to his eye
That cadence to his tone?

Though nlidnights hour hath aowns
The clock above the glowing CRATE
