TO prevent the passage Of a measure
Of this character Governments
should be as scrupulous in dealing

anon raw cotton. One was the act
Of July J, 1862. which levied a tax
Of 0ne-haf of one per cent per pound.
The next act. was the act Of March

cents per pound. The third tax was
the act OF July 12, 1866. which let;ed

CHAPTER II-continued.

Soon a horse and buggy came for
. IS and briefly answered Sally's good
bye before the man drove away with
me. 1 remember telling him as we
went on over the rough road, between
fields of ripened grain, of my water
melon and my dog and my little pet
hen.
1 shall not try to describe that home
coming. We found Aunt Deel in the
road five miles from home. She had
been calling and travelling from house
to house most of the night, and /
have never forgotten her joy at seeing
me and her tender greeting. She got
into the buggy AMI rode home with
us, holding me in her rap. Uncle Pea
body and one of our neighbors he'd
been out in the woods all night with
pine torches. I recall how, although
excited by my return, he took off
his hat at the sight Of my new friend
and said:
"Mr. Wright, / never wished that
l lived in a palace until now"
He didn't notice me until 1 held up
both feet and called: "Look a. there,
Uncle Peabody"
Then he came and took me out of
the buggy and saw the tears in his
eyes when he kissed me.
The man told of finding me on his
little veranda, and 1 told of my ride
with Dug Draper, after which Uncle
Peabody said:
I'm gein' to put in your boss and
feed him Comptroller"
"And I'm goin' to cook the best
dinner 1 ever cooked in my life," said
Aunt Deel.
When the great man had gone Uncle
Peabody took me in his lap and said
very gently and with serious look
"You didn't think / meant 1t, did
ye?-that you would have to go way
from here?"
II don't know" was my answer.
"'Course 1 didn't mean that. 1 just
wanted We to see that it want going
to do for you to keep on tippin' things
over So"
That evening as 1 was about to &c
upstairs to bed, Aunt Deel said to
my uncle:
"Do you remember what OF Kate
wrote down about him? This is his
first peril an he has met his first
great man an / can see that Sile
Wright is kind o. fond o. him."
went to sleep that night thinking
of the strange, old, ragged, silent

EMERSON FELT PINCH OF WAR
Great American Poet Wrote to Friend
Telling Him of the Financial
Crisis.

In the early days of the Civil war,
Emerson wrote to a friend of the
financial crisis:
'The first of January QS62) has
found me In quite as poor plight as
the rest of the Americans. Not a penny
from my books since last June. which
usually yield $500 or 5000 year; no
dividends from the banks or from Ii
dian-Plymouth property. Then almost
all income from lectures has quite
ceased, so that your letter found me in
n study how to pay $500 or $500 with
$50. Meanwhile we are trying TO be as
uncOnsuming as candles under an ex-
tinguisher and tits frlghtful to think
how many rivals we have in distress
and in economy. But far better that
this grinding should go on from bad
20 worse than that we be driven by
any impotence into hasty peace, or
any peace restoring the old rotten
ness"
