This week will be an exciting one for
Virgins. the Canadian weather maker.
His critical period is at hand. He has
predicted that Storm the like of which
was never seen before, will strike the At
lantic coast on the 9th of February, aud
has solemDly notified those who go down
to the sea in ships to reef their tops'ls and
head for harbor. The earth is to be
shaken and the mountains are to quake
on the day Virgins has designated, and
the hemisphere is to be racked and torn
with the tumults of atmospheric unrest.
Vennor says Virgins is humbug: Ha-
zen says he is crank. but what y all that
he has prophesied comes to pass7 IL there
is no great storm on that day. of coutse
Virgins will retire into humiliaeiDg OBJ
livion; but suppose it all happens as he
describes, what shall be done for Virgins
then? Perhaps it would be well to post
pone discussion OF this subject until the
10th inst. but it is proper for the people
to be ready, as the nervous orator said
about the, congressman who was returnieg
home with honors, ito receive him with
loud laurels and place chaplet of plaud-
its upon his brow"

His Devotions.

The organ peals, the choir is singing;
| wonder il she knows I'm here!
Her thoughts no doubt are upward winging,
While mine sink, cloGged with doubt and fear.
It's she, of course; there's no mistakfng
Her crowded, glossy braids of brown,
And that's the bonnet she was making
l sat and watched her beat the crown.
How deft her fingers are-how busy!
ALL happy man within whose home
But, stay such thoughts they make me dizzy,
And have no place beneath this dome.
Far better should ponder grimly
Ny faults committed, duties missed.
How neat her glove is, and how trinity
Ii buttons round her slender wristl
Ahi vain and poor is earthly pleasure;
No wonder that our sad hearts yearn
To some more high and lasting treasure
They're sitting down. Perhaps she'll turn.
Thank Heaven, she sees me! She is f1inging
A sweet reproachful glance my way
Yes, dear, indeed I've been singing,
And now, my saint, mean to prayl

TAXATION OF CHURCH SCHOOLS.

In the County Commissioners court yester-
day the question of taxing school property
came up, and after a liberal discussion of the
subject a vote was taken, in which Messrs.
Tournat and HoeAling voted for taxation and
Messrs. Guerguin and Braden voted against,
and County Judge Mason cast the deciding
vote, thus making the church schools subject
to taxation. This decision, we believe, is in
accord with a receut decision reported 10 the
Fifly-third Texas Supreme court reports.
Individually, the LIGHT believes that the
principle Of taxing school property is wi ong,
whether the schools are run for profit or not,
or under whatever faith or denomination they
may be managed. Taxation, we know, is a
burden borne by all, and one wherein the
average citizen is likely to dodge upon any
and all occasions, but at the same time public
opinion in these United States has generally
tacitly acquiesced in the the non-taxation of
school property whether under public or
church charge. The action of the majority of
the county board is one in which they have a
precedent, and whether il will be detrimental
to the best interests of the city or not remains
10 be seen.
