the people have paid their tax-gatherers
more than thrice the stun of the national

federal government alone. Wo doinnmt a
vigorous frugality iu every department and

Reform is neeessarv to put ii stop to the

and out of more than thrloo that aggregate

Reform is necessary to e orroot the mills-

our treaties and of our dlidonmoy, which
have Stripped our follow-citizens of foreign

nominee; hut they had no authority
from Mr. Hendricks to accept the nomi
nation for him to the vice-presidency.
Indiana would do its duty, hut he im
plied doubts of the result iu Indiana. The

FACTS A.W FANCIES.
Apropos of undo affc nt llio centen
nial : Boswell once asked 1 >r. Johnson
if a certain classical picture was inde
cent. ” No, sir.’’ replied the doctor,
“ hut your question is.”
Tins is a sample of the arlllimetical
problems proposed at the Storey county
(Nov.) Teachers’ Institute:
“ A man puts down a certain sum of
money on the corner of the ace, to take
tho (ray, in a twenty-five dollar limit
game. They both win through. At
the end of the deal he finds he Iiiih $67.
How much did he put down, and how
much did he win ?”
The petition offered up hy the boliover
who abides in Christ, and has Christ's
words abiding in him, will he in har
mony with the will of God. “Tho
spirit maketh intercession for the saints
aucortling. to. the will of God.” The
spirit-taught breathing of desire, there
fore, on tho part of the bcliuvor are tho
very breathings of God within him, nnd
surely God on tho throne in heaven will
not ho indifferent lo tho breathings of
God in tho human heart. Bather those
breathings are thoniHolves a fulfillment,
of the promise, and a preliminary step on
the part of God towards a richer, fuller,
grander fulfillment of it.
WAIT MV LITTLE ONE.
Wait! my little one, wait!
When you gut to the lieautiful laud ;
Tarry a little, my darling,
Ere you join tiro heavenly Imml.
Stand dime to tho shining gates of pearl,
Look out on the narrow way,'
For I want the first glnneo of my heaven-
home sight
On my little hahu to stray.
Wglt! my little one, wait I
When you reach the courts above;
Look down with the light of thy lieaulifu
eye*,
Oil those that you iihciI to love;
Wldsper sweet dreams in our earthly ears,
When wo lie down to sleep;
Paint bright pictures before your eye*,
When wo wake up to weep.
Wait! my little one, wait!
When you reach the celestial strand,
For thy mother may ho tolling up
To the heights of the hotter land.
For the years that fall like molten lead,
My little babe, o’or thee.
Misplaced Fear.—Ail languages
have a literature of terror about death.
But living is far more terrible iu reality
than dying. It is life that foments pride,
that inflames vanity, that excites the
passions, that feeds the appetites, that
founds and build* luihits, that establishes
character, and, binding up the separate
straws ol'action into one sheaf, hands it
into tho future, saying, “ As you reap,
ulifit! if., u,\tir |H V.,1 11IV. a.il.l..!. 1.. j
shall ye sow I” Vet life, which is the
mischief maker, 1h not at all lenred.
Death, that draw no harm, and is only
tho re venter of life’s work, is feared.
Peculiar Buminehh System.—A
day or so ago the attorneys propped
Daniel Drew up in bed, and put him
through a course of interrogatories ami
crnss-inlcrmgntoric* relative to his peti
tion iu bankruptcy. His answers, faint,
almost Inaudible, and given while great
tears rolled down Ids cheeks, reveal the
most singular business system, or lack of
system, recorded ol any man who has
dealt in in ill ions. In his transactions
with his hrokors ho always trusted to
their honesty, anduovor troubled himself
to look over thoir statements of account.
Hu left collaterals with the brokers, hut
doesn’t know what became of them. A
cheek-hook lie never had any use for.
Book-keeper or elerk lie never employed,
nor oven had an ofllco of his own. Of
tho several mil lions he once had he never
kept any account, but thinks lie could
toll from memory where somo of it went;
ho carried such trilling matters in his
head.
Mothers, lot every daughter that is

TURKISH ATROCITIES.

Tlie Ijondou Daily Nows publishes a
letter from its Constantinople correspon
dent, dated Juno 16th, giving thedetails
of atrocities committed in Bulgaria hy
tho Bashi Bazoaks, Turkish irregular
troops. The writer says tiintull movable
property has been plundered, houses,
und villages burned, and old men, wo
men ana children indiscriminately
slaughtered. It is estimated tlrnt the
province, which heretofore yielded to
tho government an annual revenue of
four million dollars, will not pay one-
quarter that sum this year, nor lor years
to come. The various estimates place
the number of lives sacrificed at from
eighteen to thirty thousand. The eor-
rcHpondent names thirty-seven villages
known to have been destroyed. Among
the refugees, the number of whom is
very small, there is not a girl over ten
years of age. In the villngo of Berustit-
za, district of Phillippopolis, fifteen hun
dred persons are known to l ave been
killer!. This village consisted of four
huudred houses and was prosperous nnd
peaceful. Every house has been lmrsed
and nil the inhabitants killed cxeopt’a
fow women and children who took refuge
in Phillippopolis and somo women who
were carried off by Bashi Bn/mik-. These
cruelties have mado a great impression
at Constantinople and tho English am
bassador has intervened with the govern
ment to put an end to them.
