Ahes Just nlittlc hluc-eycd maid,
With dmplcd cheek aud chin,
And lips as rcd ne berries whoa
Midsemmcr days begin.
Her hniris suni ght siftcd nnc,
hnd blown this way and that,
hnd ~ she runs she tucks IN vain
Heavens gold beneath her hat
or lies her little soft white hand
In mine aud by some way
Oorarchod with murmurlng leaves We walk
Az close Of fsummer day.
gomotimes shc lifts her wond' ring faco
On idwiao tshc Is but sovenl,
And asks large questions, as they do
Who lately are from Heaven.
Aud then away she lightly SKINS
To chaso a butterfly
Or pluck n dreamy violet
Enamorcd OF the skv.
Oh, how I love this little maidl
And docs she iovo me. All
Answer--soft arms around my neck,
And lips that lisp papa"

A GEN FROM INGERSOLL.


The Great InGdcls Eloquent Tribute to the
Memory Of Mrs. Knowles.
Mrs Ida Whiting Knowles, wife of the
Hon. Howard Knowles late United States
COLLECTOR at Peoria, Ill, died III New York
on Dec. Is. She was an estimable wom-
an and leaves wide circle OF friends to
mourn her early death. Before her re-
mains were sent to the west, Col. Robert
q. IngersOll delivered the following
tribute to her memory:
My FEIESDs:-Agaln we stand in the
shadow of the great mystery--a shadow
as deep and dark as when the tears of tho
first mother fell upon the palIid face of
her lifeless babe-a mystery that has
never yet been -olved. We have met III
the D. essence of the sacred dead to speak
a word of praise, of hope, of cOnsolatIon
Another life of love is now a blessed
memory-a lingering strain of music.
The loving daughter, the pure and con-
secrgted wife, the sincere friend, who
with tender faithfuln"ss discharged the
duties of life, has reached her journey
end. A braYer, a more serene, more
| chigalric spirit, clasping the loved, aud
| by them clasped, never PASSED from life
TO enrich the realm Of death. Ne
| field of war over witnessed greater tOrD
tuder more perfect, smiling courage than
this poor, weak and helpless woman dis
played upon the bed of pain and death.
| Her life was gentle, and her death sub
lime she loved the good, and all the
| good loved her. Bat there il this conso-
| lation: She can never suffer more; she
| can never feel again the chill of death
/ never part again from those she loves.
/ Her heart can break no more. She has
\ shed her last tear, eno upon her stainless
! brow has been set the Wondrous seal OF
| everlasting peace. When the angel Of
| death-;he masked and voiceiess-enters
| the door of the home. there come with
! her all the daughters of compassion, and
/ OF these Love and Hope romain forever.
| You are about to take the dear dust home
/ to the home OF her girlhood, aud to the
| place that was once my home. You will
| Lev her with neighbors, that nave loved,
/ that are now at rest. You will lay her
| where my father sleeps. All l can say isf
/ Ley her in the earth, and from her fair
| and unpoIluted flesh let yioiets spring.
never knew, / never met brayer spirit
| than the one that once inhabited this 81
/ lent form of dreaEaiess clay.

TANlNG DEBTS.

The Msry land grangers are wrestling
tion. Maryland farmers, like those of
Texas, are debtors; many of them own
mortgaged farms and have "a pay inter.
est on the mortgaged debt-and they
fiercely insist that the mortgage holder
ought to pay tax on his interest in the
property. All notes, whether secured by
mortgage or not, they think ought TO be
assessed and taxed, that the burden of
taxation might be made lighter on iu-
debted farmers, who never escape the
Law. The Maryland CRANE are right
ia asserting that notes ought to be taxed.
Indeed they are taxed, uomlnally, now. in
nearly all the states. But they do not
pay, The larger portion of notes,
| whether secured or not, oxcape taxation,
| and the public loses hundreds of thous-
! ands of dollars every year this way.
/ II the grsngers of Maryland and
! other states will show how to pre-
vent this if they will devise a plan by
which bits Of paper called notes, bonds
and shares of stock, which the owner
can hide in his pocket from the eyes OF
the assessor, and which msuy owners
do hide from the assessor, cannot only
be taxed, but msde tn pay-they Will havs
solved a problem which hiss bsffied 10 ,o0C
assessors and Legislators for years. It j:
now conceded that it cannot be done
The problem is resolvahls. Millions ani
scores of millions of these bits of pape,
escape taxation in every state. Th,
only way 10 treat the subject is TO stol
trying to do the impossible thing. Exemp
notes and bonds from tax stion, and there
by reduce the rate of interest to borrow
ers, and tax every citizen on his suPpos
ed personality As represented by the rem
tai vsiue of the house he lives in. Ever
this would not work perfectly. but
soold bring in more revenue than tn
: present personality tax.
