Delinquent Tax Payers Not Pressed for Pay
ment IS They Are Now.

Prior to the civil war, and before
the town was bounded, a prominent
Bennington gentleman who owned the
and where the depot now Is, was one
day asked by the tax collector for his
taxes. He replied that he had paid
them seven weeks ago, whereupon the
,llector took out his book and con-
vinced him that his taxes had not been
paid In seven years.
The delinquent ran his fingers
through his hair and suavely replied:
ST yum, l didn't think it was as
long as that. How like - time flies!

A MOTHERS LOVE.

There is old legend that in this wise: At
creations dawn angel down to EARTH and be-
fore returning looked about for something to carry
back to heaven. There were three things that at
tracted the attention of the whtewnged messenger
a bouquet of sweet flowers that had been gathered
from of the earths fair and blooming gardens the
smile of little baby that had been playing with
sunbeam, and mothers love. These three the angel
carried away but when he reached the pearly gates
Of paradise the flowers had witheredthe babys smile
had vanished. Only the mothers love remained the
same, and being found pure and eternal as the
waters that flowed by Gods throne, all the angels
that ranged about exclaimed in unson "There is
nothing earth pure enough for heaven but moth
er's love" This tribute containing a sublime
thought. And through all the ages it has been hui
experience that the angels referred to in that
far-away legend we're not over extravagant in the
message which they passed out through the open win
dows of the 'many mansions" along the banks of the
"River of Gold.~-HGrUard, Ill., Herald

ditons, the size and shape of the glass; the in

to consume hundred nails before the water

A GRATEFUL STORK.

Early spring pair of storks took up their
abode the roof of the schoolhouse in the village of
Poppenhofen, Germany One of the birds appeared
to be exhausted by its long journey and the bad wealth
it had passed through On the morning after its
arrival the bird found by the schoolmaster lying
the ground before the school-house door The man,
who, like all Germans, considered it piece of good
luck to have the storks nest his house. picked up
the bird and took it indoors. He nursed it carefully
and, when it convalescent, used every morning
to carry it to the fields short distance from the
house, where its mate appeared regularly at the
hour to supply it with food. The stork became
well and vigorous; and every evening after its re-
covery flew down from the roof by the side of its
friend from the schoohouse to the meadows,
companied by crowd of wondering children.-Presby

THE TIRED MOTHER.

GAS tired mother when the day is DER
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leaves his broken playthings the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly treasured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead
Which though splendid, may not please him
more;
So nature deals with us and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads gently that go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know
