shares the comforts and protection
of that homely but kindly soul.
Our hearts are full of admiration
for her beautiful strength Of char
acter when she renounces these
same comforts for the hardships
and exposures of the common
highway in order to save her
grandfather from the pitfalls OF his
former sin. What beautiful ideas
we gather of life and Immortality
from her soliloguies among the
graves in the old church yard.
We enjoy the quiet satisfaction
when at Hast their journeyings are
over and they find through their
faithful friend, the school master,
a home in the old deserted church,
and when death robs ,us of this
gentle character we feel her loss
as if she were living thing, and
not beloved creature of imagi-
nation. We weep with the heart
broken grandfather and mingle our
tears with those of the little
scholar as he gathers the red ber-
ries to deck her couch. We can
in a measure Ehy her
death effected the author so forci-
bly,, as his biographers tell us.

in the field of this intellectual
school. But the only rayof loves
sunshine that penetrated the at
mosphere of this solitary child's
existence was the affection Of his
sister Florence. And how touch
ing and beautiful was his devotion
to her No wonder that he should
wish that he could take all his fa-
theirs money and buy a-''beautiful
place with fields and gardens and
woods and live there forever with
his darling Florence. i"
How touching is hisspatience in
his last illness. We almost fancy
we can hear the feeble voice "Al
ways better; tell papa So" We
listen with him to the murmur of
the waves, while he questions his
beloved Florence whence they
come and what they are saying,
and so with tender interest we fol.
low him to the landvof his brief
and lonely life when the swift
river of death bears ehim out to

Pip" is dear little fellow with

our frat introduction TO him in the
church yard, where he bad gone
to visit the tomb OF his mother,
"Georgianaa, wife Of the above"
and the Eve little marble 'lozen-
gers" that represented that num-
Der of small brothers who had
proceeded him to tbe better world.
We feel keen smarting sympathy
with Pip in his frequent experien-
ces with "tiekler" in the hands of
his sister, the remarkable Mrs.
Gargery. How we love the great
hearted Jew for his tender affec-
ton and solicitude for our little
hero. While we sbudder at his
queer friend, Miss HaEershaw, we
love to visit with him there and

we were old enough to read the
book for ourselves we sat around

for ornaments for ladies' hats, and all that
sort of inexcusable thing that has nothing
to do with the case. Furthermore she fails
to differentiate. She wants the sparrow
preserved because it is bird! l want It
driven out of Washington because 1t Is
nasty little nuisance.
She probably. and most likely the mem
hers of the Humane Society to which she
re fers as well, would not hesitate to trap
and kill a mouse, not because II is mouse,
but because it is a mischievous and destruc-

PAYMENTS OF TAXES.
Business Men Declare Against the
Proposed Change.

The special committee Of the Business
Mems Association appointed to convey to
Congress the opposition to the bill which
was passed by the House yesterday to
make the payment Of taxes on realty an
nual instead of semi-ahnual, has made
careful investigation, with a view of as
certaining public sentiment upon the sub
ject. AS result of this investigation 1t
is claimed that at least Is per cent of the
taxpayers of the District favor semi-annual
payment of taxes; particularly the trades
people. The special committee says the
same objection exists with equal force
among the lenders of money. in case of
mortgages, where the margin is small.
The committee is further of the opinion
that the bill will require an increase in the
force Of employees in the District building.
and that the number Of clerks will have to
be quadrupled to adequately meet the re-
quirements of Its provisions. while under
the present conditions the force need not
be materially increased.
