THE finance committee of City
Council last evening fixed the tax
rate for the coming year at the
same rate as last year. 1t will be
IS cents on each 500 Of assessment
for city purposes and As cents on
each 800 OF assessment for school
purposes. 1t is very gratifying to
our citizens that the tax rate should
not be raised and considerable ad-
ditional revenue should be raised
this year from the numerous new
buildings which are now in the
course of erection. The sum of
s617, 09S.67 was appropriated for
the expenses Of the city government
for the fiscal year. Our tax payers
are to be congratulated on City
Council keeping within their appro-
priations.

She Signals all Sailors

Sailormen who navigate the seas on
the South Atlantic coast are always
glad when they near the harbor of a.
vannah, for that means that they will
pass within saluting distance of 1.-The
little lighthouse girl This, be it un-
derstood, is the officially accepted title
of Miss Florence Martus. who has for
the last eleven years waved friendly
signal to every craft passing between
the city and the sea. It is the hobby
of this young girl TO greet the ships
that go and wish them a safe return.
and greet the ships that come and con-
graduate them on their voyage. he
says that the ships are her world. She
hasn't much world outside of the ma
with her brother and mother on the
bleakest, most uninvitng island imag-
Unable on the southern bank of the
Savannah river, ten miles from town.
The Martus dwelling Is the only hab-
| itation on Elba island. There is no
landing wharf and visitors arrive on
an average once a year. George Mar
tus attends to the range of lights which
keep the pilots in the right part of the
most tortuous channel in that part of
| he ocean. Beside the lighthouse is the
cottage where these three persons
! spend their lives. The banks, the
steamers, the schooners and the various
other craft never get near enough for
an exchange of greetings other than
that expressive form of good will, the
waving of a handkerchief by day and
of lantern at night. And as the girl
sends out her welcome, the seamen,
who all know her and who would resent
! the elimination of the ceremony which
she has popularized, send back an an
! swering salute, three "toots" of the
steam whistle. Then Miss Martus is as
happy as belle at debutante party.
1t is her desire that no vessel shall
pass the lighthouse without receiving
q salute. She never overlooks a sail
/ nthe daytime, and her handkerchief
is ever ready for its service of cordi-
atty. And at hight she seems to feel
intuitively the approach of her ships
for she has frequently made ready the
lantern before the expected boat hove
in sight. She says it is her ambition
to signal every ship that touches Sa-
vannah. She was asked her reason for
signalling the passing sea thfong.
/ Il do it," she answered, because they
are my friends, almost the only friends
1 have. 1 love to see them come and
go, and when they go l always pray
for their safe return"

Assist me, mus divine: to sing the morn

But, oh! what numbers to the Theme
can rise?
Unless kind angels from the Skies!
Methinks l see the tuneful Host de-
scend.
And with officious Joy the Scene attend.
Hank! by their Hymns directed on the
Road,
The Gladstone Shepherds find the Mas
cent God!
And view the Infant conscious of his
Birth,
Smiling. bespeak Salvation to the
Earth.
For when the important Hera first
drew near
In which the great Messiah should ap-
pear;
And to accomplish his redeeming love,
Resign his glorious Throne above,
Beneath our form should every Woe
sustain.
And by triumphant suffering fix his
reign,
Should for lost Man in Tortures yield
his Breath,
Dying to save us from eternal Death!
o mystic union!-Salutary Grace!
Incarnate God our Nature should EN-
brace!
That Deity should stoop to our Dis
guise!
That man, recov'd, should regain the
skies!
Detected Adam! from thy grave ascend
And view the Serpent's Deadly Malice
end.
