elusive prerogative of the govern

should provide for taxation by States
of the United States treasury notes hs
other money is taxed, and he believes
this policy of- General Grant’s and

is uuwise and inexpedient, and thjit
the true policy of our government

sweetest lips in the world. The ej
is dim, but it glotys with the soft
dilutee of holy love which can never
fade. Ah, ves, she is a dear old
mother. H is true she aits waitiag

in her feeble arma and carry you
home, where she will tell you of yonr
virtues until yon forget that your
soul is disfigured Dy- sin. The best,
