Abraham and Sarah.

The pretty story concerning Abraham
and Sarah, as related by the Talmudists,
runs as follows: When Abraham went to
Egypt, he took with him a chest. At
the Custom House the officers demanded
duties. Abraham was ready to pay
them, but desired that they would not
open the chest. The officers al first
asked for duties on clothes which the
distinguished Hebrew consented to pay.
BY this they thought that the chest
might contain gold. Abraham con:
sented to pay the duties on gold. They
then imagined the contents to be silk
in short, he consented to pay for pearls.
or for any other valuable articles, II they
would not open the chest. But the cas-
toms officers insisted upon opening il :
and behold, as soon as the lid was lifted.
that lustrous beauty, who made such !
stir IN Egypt, appeared. II was the

gaze Of the envious Egyptians, had

pay a high license for it? We are op-
pressed with taxation, state, county and

government shows that large income is
to be derived from the taxation on the i'm

which can be exhibited by mortality.
As human life consists in a series OF

the delightful employments Of the

DIGNITY.

True dignity should come with the
well spent years of life---the conscious.
ness of purity of character, nobleness
of principle and elevation of thought.
When the heat and impulse of younger
years has given way to calm discre-
ton, and the wisdom gathered along
the dusty wayside of life shall have
been treasured for future guidance
from past experience, man has arrived
at the higheststate of mortal perfection
and these attributes ever bestnw upon
their possessor a dignity inseparable
from them. Such a man is worthy
of trust, a sage in council whose wis
dom is invaluable, and whose teach
ings and advice is regarded with rev.
erence and followed with confidence.
False dignity is an assumption of
these attributes without their posses
sion and he who carries this mask
among his feiiow-men is at heart scar
Ell and calIoused. He bears but the
outward semblance of virtues to which
his character is foreign, and apes the
face of philosopher with the mind
of fool. Ii years have crowned his
head with the gray marks of their
sigret, they have not brought with
them their burden of knowledge
which should profit one whose life
was pure and honorable; but instead
of being the emblems of honorable.
dignitied age, they are but the signs OF
physical dissolution and imbecility.
Let youth choose between them,
and profit by the examples around
them,

TUESDAY, SEPT %, 1888.
LUXURY.

1t has been said of the American
people that they spend more money
for the Injuries than they do for the
necessities of life; that the largest
revenue is obtained from spirits, to.
bacco, etc. Now, is this not a Islander
upon us as people 4? The argument
used is that these taxes do net come
out of the rich, but the poor. The
fact is, almost all the taxable ar.
ticles are those Of the luxurious char
acter, and if we pay the heavy duty
upon them, we DO il with our eyes
open, ana have ourselves alone to
blame. The lately published reports
for the fiscal year are said to exhibit a
singular fact-that the demand for
luxur;,si> increasing: and why, we ask,
is this ? Supply always equals de-
mand. and demand is always regulated
by the means to obtain the supply.
We do not look upon the consumption
of luxuries as any mark of retrogra-
dation on the part of the American pee
pie, for they are also progressing in
the construction of manufactures for
the purpose of producing these luxu-
ries, and these are giving employment
to the masses of the people, who raise
the hue and cry of a national waste
fulness, when, in truth, they are an
evidence of national prosperity.
In a country where the people 60
barefoot, ought the first person that
produced pair of shoes to be blamed
for luxury? Would it not rather be
a proof of his good sense and industry?
May not the same be said of the man
who first wore shirt, and of the man
who first contrived to have a shirt
washed and worn a second and third
time and so on. We look upon him
to have been a prodigious genius
and We dare say that he was capable
of governing a state. Nevertheless,
it is probable that he was considered
by those who did not wear clean linen
as an efeminate person, who was apt
to corrupt the morals of the people.
We remember having read once of a
Norwegian who reproached Dutch
man''with luxury. "What has become
said he, ''of those happy times when a
merchant on going from Amsterdam
to the East Indies left q quarter Of
dried beef in his kitchen and found
it on his return Where are your
wooden spoons and your iron forks ?
Is it not shame for sober Dutch
man to lie in !. aamask bed :" Go to

sterdam, "get ten tons of gold, as L

sinking with dependency. The wild
ow and the fatherless--the industrious
poor-.-are objects of bis wide extended
charity.
When under painful anticipations
of.sufering from hunger, cold or max
edness, suddenly their fears are dissi.
pated by supplies of fuel, food and
clothing, while the hand of the gen.
erous donor forever remains invisible
and unknown.
But while the good man despises
the parade of charity, yet he realizes
the power of example promoting
acts of general public utility hence
you see his name on every subscrip-
ton foc the advancement of those in
sIitutions which are designed to benefit
the poor and 10 lessen the avenues of
idleness and want. Some objects of
common and extensive importance re-
quire the joint exertions Of numbers.
This man is always conspicuous in his
exertions upon such occasions--and
with industry ard perseverance every
obstacle is surmounted until plans
are brought to maturity which con-
duce TO the honor, the wealth, and
the happiness of the community.
Such men are the stewards of the
blessings of providence Their proper
ty is the property of the public,
and their wealth in the bank of the
poor. Their character gives luster
to the place where they reside, land
their good name isa prop to their
country in every emergency. Do we
not know such characters ? Let their
works point them out. Their praise
is in the city. The good man cannot
but be generous, though the public
acknowledgements Of gratitude are
severe tax upon his feeling. Contrast
ed with such men the miser is like a
barren, Unsuitable soil, which the more
moisture it imbibes the harder and
more unproductive it becomes. Enor-
nous wealth, accumulated in the cof-
fers of the avaricious and there con-
fined, is like exhausting the blood
from the constitution of the body
polite. 1t is the drying up of the
sources which nourish, fructify and
fertilize the world. Their characters
are constantly suspended upon the
pointed pinnacle of satire while they
live, and their memory is like the
sport of excavations when death un-
locks the iron repositories of their
boards and gives their wealth to their
prodigal posterity.
