Eusses Don't Pay.

FUSES about taxes don't always pay
a truth that is as forcible on the Maine
side Of the border as in Canada. 1t Is
illustrated by the experience of a Cana
dian farmer whose land, mostly in one
parish, extended a little within the
bounds of another parish-St. Ours-in
which he was subjected to a tax Of Al
cents. He refused to pay, and a suit en-
sued He Won at first, but m appeal was
taken, with the result that after q LONG
fight the case was decided against him,
and he had not only the tax to pay with
interest, but 81. 200 in costs and expenses
besides, taking his whole farm. He prob.
ably viii have satisfaction from the
suit-he viii not have any more taxes to
pay.-Lewiston Journal.

A few days ago the ancient ''hostel-
RE" familiar TO readers of Dickens as the
BLACK Jack" in Portsmouth street,
Clare Market, closed its doors forever, as
the entire block of buildings surround
ing it is about to be demolished. The
"Black Jack" is the house to which Sam
Weller escorted his master when that
gentleman was in search of Lowton, Mr..
Perker's clerk, on which occasion Mr..
Pickwick heard the story of the .sQueer
Client" related by the mysterious law
yer's clerk.
The BLACK Jack" has for many years
been q veritable mecca to the medical
students who have successfully braved
the terrors OF the examination room. for
it was customary for them to adjourn to
its hospitable bar and duly inscribe the
the names of the fortunate medicos in q
register kept in the house for that spe-
cial purpose Among the signatures to
be Q are those Of James Paget and
Andrew Clarke, together with many
others who have since attained celebrity.
The death of the BLACK Jack adds
L more to the ghostly taverns which
have abounded in the immediate vicin-
ity. The Spotted Dog" the White
Lion" Of Jack Sheppard notoriety, the
Bulls Head" where Hogarth met his
brother artists, and the ''Spiller's Head"
the Savage club Of those lays, all stood
within a few Yards. -LonGon News.

Sings softly through the summer tree;

Blocks up the brook and rivers flow.
And thus these scenes all shift and turn
And fade like ashes in an urn.

A Bride in Death.

Beneath the old autumnal trees
She sleeps the time away,
Nor feels the passing of the breeze,
Nor sees the light Of day.
We did not dream the night would fall
So soon upon her eyes,
For there were songs IN held and hall,
And sunshine IN the skies
Ii one had seen her snowy brow
\ little time ago.
He might have said, 30 death, not now
Can fall thy cruel blow y
For there were orange bloom and lace
And bridal rose and breath :
- how could on so sweet a face
Descend the shade OF death?
But Christ is Lord and God l. King
In this strange world Of oars,
And gentle dew or frosty ring
Nav wreathe the faire-t flow r.
80. now she sleers-thc pulse OF pain
No more beats in her breast:
We would no; call her back AGAIN
From ont so sweet a rest.
But, oh. that in another tomb
Cur grief for her might lie,
For thea the lingering cl"ud~ OF gloom
Would not - ill the ky.
le,, We sit down in grief and pain
Beside her grave, and let
The dear old past come back again
With hourS wc can't forget.
How we remember hcT TODAY
No pen can half declare
The sweet face hidden far away.
The sunny. golden hair,
The very accents oi her speech
Still echo in our ears:
THEY'LL never cease Ia sink and reach
The fountain place of tears.
: Bat grief is grief and God Is God.
And graves are thick and green;
Hope j. the sunlight on the sod
Where loved ones lie unseen.
And now. farewell. till Heavens gate
Shall backward swing, and We
No more shall ever weep and wait
Beneath the cypress tree.

RAMBLING RHYMES,
BY GEORGE W. FERREL.
One June Night.

When the tide OF the night i sweet
With airs from the meadows oi May.
And fancy and memory meet
Just after the dusk Of the dav.
What glpries rise up in the past.
All fresh with the sun and the sea,
And into the coming time cast
Their Light as l.-S upon thee
So sweet * the tender Nay-tide,
And tuneiul with songs,er and stream,
In fancy feel by my side
The summer in glory a-gleam-
Almost the June DAYS and that night,
That shall never go down with the stars,
Though Venus should vanish from sight
And sink with the red planet Mars.
Flow onward. . current OF May,
Swift into the sweetness of June.
For there Is 4 fragrant, lair day
With Il night That shall! follow soon
Bat rather with incersc and song,
Than shadows or shing> that are sad:
The seIf-Same night that - long
Made me and The summer time glad
The ross will CLEAN with the dew,
And the dusk with the stars he divine
The songs that were old there he new,
And the love that was your> still he mine
For, though from our poor mortal sight
Some faces have vanished away;
Not so with the vows nf that night
Which followed that happy June day.
Therefore, would hasten the sun
Tip out of the East and the sea.
And laugh wien the long days are done.
And hidden forever from M:
For then shall the nigh; come again,
With our love sill as pure and sweet
As roses that bloom in the rain
Or lilies that lie at orr feet.
