GOLDEN GRAINS.

He wisest is who only gives.
True to himself, the best he can;
Who, drifting in the winds OF praise,
The inward monitor obeys;
And with boldness that confesses fear
Takes in the crowded sail and lets his con-
science steer. Whittier.
Neither family, education, political
power nor intellectual endowments
can make good man.-Hamilton.
Truth is stronger than error, right
eousness Is stronger than evil, life is
stronger than death.-Phillips Brooks.
We ought not necessarily to love
those who attach themselves to us,
but attach ourselves to those who are
worthy of our Observation-Disclosures.
The riches of scholarship, the be-
nignities of literature defy fortune and
outlive calamity. Tney are beyond

Lowell.

of sunshine and pleasant things, that

1t has been we'll said that no man
ever sank under the burden of the
day. 1t is when tomOrrOw's burden
is added to the burden of today that
the weight is more than a man can
bear. God begs you to leave the fu-
ture to him, and mind the present.
George Macdonald.
There are few things more beautiful
than the calm and resolute progress
of an earnest spirit. The triumphs of
genius may be more dazzling; the
chances of good fortune may be more
exciting, but neither are at all SO in
teresting or so worthy as the achiev-
ments of steady, faithful and fer
vent energy.-Dr. Tulloch.
Fame usually comes to those who
are thinking about something else
very rarely to those who say to them
brated individually The struggle for
fame, as such, commonly ends in no
toriety; that ladder is easy to climb,
but At leads to the pillory which is
crowded with fools who could not
hold their tongues and rogues who
could not hide their tracks.-Dr.
Holmes.
There can be no question in the
mind truly American, whether it is
best to send our citizens and property
into certain captivity, and then wage
war for their recovery, or to keep
them at home, and to turn seriously
to that policy which plants the man
ufacturer and the husbandman side
by side, and establishes at the door
of every one that exchange of mutual
1abOrs and comforts which we have
hitherto sought in distant regions,
and under perpetual risk of broils
with them.-Jefferson.
Poverty demoralizes. A man in
debt is SO far a slave, and Wall street
thinks it easy for millionaire to be a
man of his word, man of honor, but
that in failing circumstances no man
can be relied on to keep his integrity.
And when one observes in the hotels
and palaces of our Atlantic capitals
the habit of expense, the riot of the
senses, the absence OF bonds, clan
ship, fellow-feeling of any kind-he
feels that when a man or a woman is
driven to the wall the chances of in
tegrity are frighttully diminished; as
if virtue were coming to be a luxury
which few could afford, or, as Burke
said, lat a market almost too high
for humanity. "-Emerson.

The Question of Double Taxation
Sandusky Register.
The suit brought by the treasurer
OF Cuyahoga county to collect back
taxes from the stephen V. Hardness
estate to the amount of 500, 900 will
be carried to the Supremecourt to test
the constitutionality of the law en-
towering the collection of stock taxes
with penalty of five per cent. The
administration of the estate raises
two questions-the constitutionality
of the back law and the right of the
treasurer to demand taxes on railroad
stocks held by the deceased. He adj
mits that the deceased held large
amount of Lake Shore stock which
he did not list for taxsation on the
ground that the company paid taxes
of road rolling stock and other visible
property and to tax the stock would
be double taxatian.
Yet double taxation is authorized
by our laws. A buys farm tor Sl0,-
600 of B, pays 81 900 down and gives
a mortgage back to B for $4,000. The
farm is valued for taxation at about
thirty-five or forty per cent of its
market value, say $4,000, on which
A pays taxes although he owns but
1000 in the farm. B must, under
the law, return the full value of his.
mortgage, $4,000, for taxation, so that
in fact the property is in at $4,000
for taxes, although its market value
is but $4,000. Thus is double tax
alton sanctioned, even required, by
our laws. The question raised by
the Hardness estate ought to be
settled and it is we'll that the issue
is to go TO the Supreme court.
