! The present system Of duties vin-

that when the duties were taken Of CT tea

Frank Hucd has contributed the fol-
lowing Interesting letter to the tariff liz
erature Of the campaign: Much Of the
confusion OF mind ere fads in these who
engses in the tsrif discussion srises
from want Of accurate Knowledge Ct
Whist tariff il and Ct its operations. To
have a clesr apprehension of these is
the first step toward satisfactory con-
sideration OF this subjsct.
The tariff is 8 Law which fxssth sum
to be ps,d upon foreign goods when they
are imported into this country. Il will
be noticed that It is only upon foreign
goods that the law cperstes, and never
upon these unless they are brought Withs
IN the iuriso lotion OF the country by
which the lsw is entcted.
TIE sum charged has sometimes been
called a licanse fee paid by the foreigner
for the privilege OF trading here. That
this does not accurately describe the
Transaction is manifest from the fscs that
ftlscks the essential elem snt OF q license
in that! does not confer right which
did not exist before, for withou. the duty
the foreigner has the privilege OF trading
with our people so far IS he may ceslle
10 er ~ it.
Besides, the duty is not paid by the
foreigner. 1t Is advanced In the first
instance by the importer, whether he be
foreigner or On American. This sum he
adds TO the selling price, Just as he does
the cost CT transportation or insurance,
and the payment is las! made by him who
buys and uses the srti;le. II any Ameri-
can has any doubt on this point lie. him

which he intends for his own copsump-
ton In this country. When be has i'm
ported them, paid the duty, snd con-
sunsd than, he will have had practical
demonstration that it is the domestic con-
sumner who pays the tariff charge.
The sbsurdity Of esYing that the for,

Gathered Treasures.

1t is the sunshine itself that makes
every shadow.
The innocence of intention abates
nothing of the mischief Of example.
Conscience is the voice of the soul,
the passions are the voice of the body.
Do not anticipate trouble or worry
about that which may never happen.
Keep in the sunlight.
The more God empties our hands
of others work, the more you may
know lie has special work TO give
them.
Every beautiful, pure and good
thought which the heart entertains is
an angel of mercy, purifying aud
guarding the soul.
A day gained in the spring will be
of more value than the ideas caught
floating around the stove in the Wiz
lage store.
AS the medical properties Of some
plants can be adduced only by dis
tillation, SO our good qualities can
only be proved by trials.
There is no difference between man
and man. Superiority depends ON
the manner in which we profit by the
lessons of necessity.
Great efforts from great motives Is
the best definition of happy life.
The easiest labor is a burden 10 him
who has no motive in performing IL.

And saw her buy a ticket for adult with sur

When ''half'' card would have answered for a
maiden of her size.
heard the agent ask her if she wanted one ''full

she say iD;
So did not the moment interfere with her affairs,
Though wondered what she meant by such very
aged airs.
Then at length 1 said most kindly to the girl SO
slightly grown,
'Do you travel very often the railway all aone?
.'Not so very often," said she; ''but had wish
to-day
To leave the NOISY city and go very far away"
Then 1 told her of her error, which had prompted
to speak
(Here a blush of modest crimson its upon
her cheek)
And to do her simple justice 1 would go with her
and make
The agent fix the matter as it should be, for her
sake
To my proffer she assented, and not vainly was it
tried,
For she got the cheaper ticket, with dollar at its
side.
And she thanked me. Then L asked her to go with

Which she did not hesitate to do, and went on nim-
bic feet.

That she seemed a trife older than her modest

Then, with manners quite avuncular, thought 1t

Our talk and trip were ending, but I adven-

But she said, with further blushing-with twinkle

For had put my arm around her, and toying
with her hair,
And she seemed to think it kindness-or she didn't
care.
In moment, if the answer had not come so pat
this,
1 should have protfered her directions on arrival
with kiss.
But my wisdom always happens much too early
too late
For the girl was very pretty and-confound the
course of Fate
So jumped up with my satchel (barely looking as

From task begun in pity, ending sharp in discon-

But she bowed and smiled most sweetly, while
thought how very mean
That could not stoop to kiss her just because she

Self Education.

sin education the process Of self
development should be encouraged u
the fullest extent. Children should
be led to make their own inyestiga-
tions and draw their inferences. They
should he told as little as possible,
and induced TO discover AS much as
possible. Humanity has progressed
solely by self-instruction; and that
to achieve the best results, each
mind must progress somewhat after
the same fashion, is continually prov
en- by the marked success Of self
made men. Those who have been
brought up under the ordinary school
drill, and have carried away with
the idea that education is practicable
only in that style, will think it hope
less to make children their own teach
ers.
If however, they will call TO mind
the all-important knowledge OF sur
rounding objects which a child gets
in its early years is without hrlp,-
if they will remember that the child
is self-taught in the use Of its mother
tongue, ,-if they will estimate the
amount of that experience Of life,
that out-of-school wisdom which ev-
cry boy gathers for himself,-if they
