There was a man in cur to Wn.
and he was wondrous wise, for
when he marked his prices down
he then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade
with all his might and
main, he marked still lower
price, and advertised
And when he advertised agai1A
his rivals stamped and tore, to
see folks rush with might and
main to patronize his store.
And while they sat in solitude
and saw his custom win, that
man behind the counter stood
and raked the shekels in.
And when he raked the shek-
els in, and saw his fortune rising,
he took a goodly lot of tin and
kept on advertising.
Each day a generous sum he'd
sink, and demonstrate full plain,
the more one pays for printers
ink the greater is his gain.-Ex.

Dictated to the State by the tax
collectors acting under the law
for the collection of delinquent
taxes. The amount of taxes
due on such property, fit could
be collected, would be more
than sufficient to pay the entire
floating Indebtedness of the
State, including baby bonds, O
which there are outstanding
about one million dollars. To
realize, then, on this property
should be the object of the Leg

timated that the cash payment
on these sales will be sufficien
to relieve the floating debt

rom the French OF Dufrssney.
Philis, much more wise than fond.
Thiukins no gain comes miss,
Ono day ext 'ts from Philimonde
Thirty sheep for just one kiss.
But the next day comes change,
He will win his will more cheap,
And he now cxacts from her
Thirty kisses for one sheep.
Next day Philis, grown more kind,
Anxious Ia her love to keep,
So she, with contented mind,
For one kiss gives all the sheep.
Next day Philis, wise in vain.
Would give sheep aud dogs az well
For the kiss the tickle swain
Gives for nothing to Arbelle.

FARM AND FIRESIDE'
The Horse,

Mp. Walker, an emin ent
ESgiish Veterinary surgeon, who
has made the horse a subject of
much study as regards his indi-
viduality and characteristics, gives
some valuable hints in the follow
ing, which are worthy of more
serious attention than is given to
The point touched upon.
The horse is intelligent, benev-
client, and honest, and eminently
social; a companion and slave. He
has good memory of person and
placsS aeute sensibility to kind
nes$ Saltaehment to those who
treat him well, and forgiving to a
degree TO those who treat him i'll,
and great docility under iudicious
treatm ent; indeed, what qualifca-
tiops Will not a friend ascribe to
himimyet nevertheless, through
some overriding organ in his mental
faculties, he refuses to doduty1 1t
will be readily admitted that there
Is an Individuality in the horse,
and that he possesses mental power
efAa understood quantity. 1t is
che breeding and education of this
mental power that | want to get at,
for l believe that there is no force
In nature, common to our existence,
so powerful and effectual for good
or evil as mental force. What can
be expected from two peevish ami
malSgbehe put together but an
offspring Of a like character in a
much more pronounced degree
