Taxes.

Taxation is a subject which few
farmers like to talk about, as they
generally feel that they have to bear
an unjust share OF the burden. Their
land, stock and crops are in sight,
while the manufacturers and traders
generally return but small portion
of their property, as is occasionally
proved by fire, after which a man
will claim insurance for five or six
times the amount which he had given
in as his personal property. In Mary
land, proposition having been made
fOc complete re-assessment OF all
property in the state, the farmers
have met in convention, and passed q
resolution, declaringln substance that
the action of the legislature upon the
subject of state taxation should be
deferred for the present, and an OPP
portunity be offered to the farmers to
consider the subject Of taxation in all
its bearings. The resolution called for
the appointment of a committee OF
three to consider the whole subject OF
taxation, and to prepare and report
bills to the legislature that will more
equally distribute the burden IN this
state. The farmers OfMaryland want
an equitable distribution Of taxation;
why should not the example be fol-
lowed in other states?

THE GOAT AND THE BOY.

The goat stood by the billboard,
And he tore a yard or so
From the gayly-colored bills which were
To advertise the show
And as he Chewed refectively,
With a quiet, soulful Joy,
Another person there appeared
An unsuspecting boy.
He did not see the animal,
Which rampant doth appear
With fore feet on the oaken keg
Which holds the springtide beer.
But he gazed upon the posters,
And his young heart filed with glee,
For his means would gain him entrance
To the upper gallery.
The capricorn, however,
Saw the boy, and straightway he
Left his meal and hied him thitherward
With great velocity.
The boy went through the billboard,
But the goat, unmoved by that,
With placid mien stood still and ate
The boys abandoned hat.

THE RURAL HOME.
ThaIIpht of Home.

Ny boy, thou wilt dream the world is fair,
And thy spirit Will sigh TO roam;
And thou must 60; but never, when there,
Forget the light OF home.
Though pleasure may smile with ray more
bright,
1t dazzles to lead astray;
Like the meteor flash, twill deepen the night
When thou treadest the lonely way.
But the hearth OF home has a constant flame,
And pure as Vestal fire.
Twill burn, twill burn forever the same,
For nature leeds the pyre.
The sea OF ambition is tempest-tossed,
And thy hopes may vanish ike foam;
But when sails are shivered ana rudder lost,
Then look 10 the light of home
And there like a star through the midnight cloud
Thou shalt see the beacon light;
For never, till shining on the shroudr
Can be quenched its holy light.
4e sun of fame, twill gid the name,
But the heart nee felt its ray;
And fashions smi es, that rich ones claim,
Are but beams OF a wintry day.
And how cid and dim those beams must be,
Should lifes w@etched wanderer come.
But, my boy, Wi.e- the world is dark to thee,
Then turn to the light OF home.
Mrs. Hale.

The long tail ends in sting, that is
comparable to the mandible of its
cousin, the spider, and is pierced with a
tube from which poison flows from a
duct. Beside this the scorpion has two
crab-like claws, and thus armed is a
match for the largest crickets. To show
the power of its poison, in some expert

the sting entered vital part the limbs

Is often a night worker, and in attack
seizes the cricket or other insect in
its powerful claws, and if its strug-
giles are not too great tears it apart and
devours it. If the victim attempts to
escape, the long slender tail is lifted
over the back, and with a vicious jerk
the deadly sting is hurled into the body
of the unfortunate.
Among the many fables told of the
scorpion that of its committing sui
eide are perhaps the most familiar.
When surrounded by fire the insect has
been seen to sting itself; but the action
was, in reality, no more with suicidal
intent than would be that of man
when tearing his hair in agony. More
remarkable than this alleged suicide is
