"When trials come to test you, sweet. I can be sunlight to your feet; My kiss your piecious lips shall greet, Because I love you. "When daylight dies along the West, You will come home to uie fer rest, And I shall sleep upon your breast, Because I love you. 'If sickness comes, bedside your bed I'll bend low, with quiet tread, And pray God's blessing on your head, Because I love you. "As dew clings to the violet, Meking the fragrant chalice wet, So my life unto yours is set, Because I love you. "Only myself, my all I bring, But count it, sweet, a precious thing To give my life an offering, Because I love yon. "I bow before no other shrine; If I go first across death's line I will return to cluiin you mine, Because t Inye you. The True Ring. Amber in' Horsman. Somebody asked me the other day if I was Roinjj to vote. I fixed him with a glittering eye and said, "No ma'am." I got a little mixed, but always nay "ma'am" to niaQ, wo man or child when I am excited. What do I want to vote for? Am I not sufficiently con tx urinated by con tact with the world in a fight for bread and butter ? Have I not rifted the lute and scattered the garlands of life enough already without joining a circus and consorting with saw dust politicians? When I want to vote it will be when all the men are dead, and the hard work, the dirty work and the thankless work is of necessity monopolized by women. The same spirit that would enable me to kill a chicken, if there was nobody else to do it, might nerve me to cast a ballot if itll the men had gone to their long, long home. Cut while they are alive they may chop off the chickens' heads and toy with the winsome ballot. I spend many spare moments in thanksgiv ing that I am not a man and in dan ger of developing into a politician. I would rather have the small-pox than run for office, and bh for meet ing the sharp, unprincipled, faithless, sexless and soulless creatures I meet now all' too often in the competition of the work-a-day w orld in the miel strom of a political campaign, I think I would rather sit on a can of dyna mite with a lighted match and hie me to the stars. No doubt this wil bring out a letter of stern reproof from Homebody who will accuse me of unwomanly hostility to the inter ests of my sex. Not so, dear pro photic bird of evil.. If I thought that the ability to vote was going to ad vance the cause of struggling, brave and work-a-day womankind I would welcome the day of universal suf frage with clashing cymbals and a banner,but I am as sure as I am that Christmas is coming that it won't. Can you help roses to sweeten by scattering the seeds of Canada this ties over the terrace, or fruit to ripen by setting out your trees near a leak ing gas main? Corruption1 will cor rupt whatever it comes in contact with, and woman would jnst as sure ly lose her primal charm of woman liness if brought in touch with the debasing and corrupting principles that dominate the vast political me chanism of a free government. 1)0 NOT SUFFER ANY LONGER.

The Best Authorities, Such as Dr. Dio Lewis, Prof. Gross, and others, agree that catarrh is not a local but a constitutional disease. It therefore requires a constitutional remedy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which effectually and permanently cures catarrh. Thousands praise it.

Suppose be had lived know Dr. Hull's Cough Syrup. Dut he didn't, alas! I The question of taxation is one which always has, does now, and al ways will attract the attention of the tax payers. People naturally do not wish to bo taxed in a greater amount than the actual necessities of econom- c government require, but the most vexed question connected with this subject Is the eqaality, or rather the inequality of taxation. If all property paid its just proportion of the taxes, or bore a just proportion of the cost of its protection, and the rev enue so raised were wisely and eco nomically expended, there would be little complaining at the amount of taxes necessary to be levied. There is a deep-seated feeling, however,that the burdens of taxation fall more heavily upon some classes than upon others. To remedy this an income tax has been suggested, and with good reason, for those having the largest incomes, and requiring the greatest amount of protection, often have their property in such shape as to espace the burden of taxation. If fails, money refunded : Preston's "Hed-Ake." An enthusiast on the subject states that each head of clover is composed of about CO distinct flower tubes, and each of these contains sugar not to exceed the five-hundredth part of a grain. The probocois of the honey bee must, therefore, be inserted iuto 500 clover tubes before one strain of sugar can be obtained. There are 700 grains in a pound, and, as honey contains three-fourths of its weight of dry sugar, each pound of clover-hon ey would represent the insertion J,of the probocois into 2,50(1,000 clover tubes. ro : .r. : I'mc Hrov. ii .. . i ..i.rv. rliysiciltll-i H'.

Tho eccentricities of great men are not to le interfered with, especially when the great men are in bad humor. A new story of General Jackson relates that, while on one of his journeys to Tennes see about the time of the nullification ex citement, he arrived at a Virginian vil lage in a very impatient state of mind, both with public affairs and with the state of the roads. me rresmeut was entertained as a guest at the house of a lady in the vil lage, and although he tried to be polite, the state of vexation, which he was in a'lfected him visibly. His hostess, at the supper table, was much alarmed to see the general swal lowing with great rapidity a cup of al most boiling hot tea. "Walt, wait, general!" exclaimed the lady. "Let me give you some cold water." "No, thank you, ma'am," said the general, continuing to drink. "But I dou't see how you can drink that boil ing hot tea without scalding yourself. " "No wonder you can't, ma'am," said uackson ; " I am scalding myself. " "But, sir, why do you " "Good gracious, ma'am!" esclalmed the general, "don't you see that I want to scald myself?" The lady refrained from making any further suggestions as to her distiu. guished guest's comfort. Rev. Pllnk Plank Abandon! Button.

A funny story!" told of Dean Swift, who was a witty man, and fond of a Joke at the expense of other people, as most witty people are. One very cold night, when he was traveling, he stopped at a little nn. There was only one fire in the house, and the guests of the inn, crowding about it, left no place for the new-comer. With a solemn face Dtan Swift called to the hostler, and told him to get a peck of oysters immediately and take them out to his horse. "Will your horse eat oysters, sir?" asked the astonished man. "Just take them out and see," said the horse's master. The people around the fire stared at the man who owned this curious horse, and nearly every one of them eft his Beat and went out to see the remarkable horse eating oysters. The cunning Dean made himself comfortable in the warmest corner, and ordered his supper. Presently back came the hostler, with the disappointed crowd after lim. "He won't touch them, sir !" cried the hostler. "Then take tho foolish animal all the oats he can eat," replied Dean Swift. "You can bring the oysters here. I'll eat them for supper my self."

Its invention is due to a printer, James Chalmers of Dun dee, Scotland, who died in 1853. England, fifty-two years ago, intro duced the new system of prepaying letter postage, and, according to a decree of December 21, 1838, issued the first stamps, which were to be put before the public on May C of the following year, as noted above. A year later they were introduced in the United States and Switzerland; and within three years had become common in Bavaria, Belgium and France. One of the most important and valuable collections of postage stamps and other postal devices in the world is in the German Imperial Post Office Mu&eum at Berlin.
