see the lights of the village
CLEAN through the rain and the mist,
And a feeling Of sadness comes o'er me
That my soul cannot resist.
A feeling Of sadness and longing
That Is not akin to pain.
And resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain.
Come read to me some poem.
Some simple and heartfelt lay.
That shall soothe this restless fealng
And Danish the thoughts OF day.
Not from the srand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime.
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors Of time:
For. like strains Of martial music.
Their mighty thoughts suggest
LIES endless toll and endeavor.
And tonight long for rest.
Read from some humber poet.
Whose songs gushed from his heart.
As showers from the clouds Of summer.
Or tears from the eyelids start;
who. through long days OF labor,
And nights devoid OF ease.
Still heard in his soul the music
or wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care.
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume
Tho poem of thy choice.
And lend to the rhyme OF the poet
The beauty of thy voice.
And the night shall be filled with music.
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents. like tho Arabs.
And as silently steal away.

A Sweet Privilege

fstM Editor Of the Euenim0 Public Ledger:
Sir-For the privilege Of using sugar
according to their taste, the people of
the United States will be taxed by the
new tariff law the huge sum of 5000, =
100000 annually.
Only about one half of that 5000.
0OO,0O0 viii 20 for Government revenue.
The other half may properly be described
asa subsidy to the sugar producing in
nrasts.
The number of people directly inter-
eted in the production of sugar in the
United States is comparatively small.
Accordingly every last individual who
eats sugar in thL country will help to
pay 500. 900 for the benefit of
fewer than one per cent of the populn-
ton.
Can this be described MS a "sweet
riy!lcge?' ALLEN GOBRIGHT.
