My godfathers and my godmoth ers in my. baptism called me “Olive,” and they lived to be heartily ashamed of themselves for it, for never was a child with a more mistaken name. A belliger ent state was my normal condition. I do not remember .my nurses, bnt I have grace euoagh to pity them. The mildest of my teachers con sidered me “nnrnly,” and yon can ask Geoffrey what he thought or me a year ago. Now it is different. I have found my master, and I be lieve I rather like it. This is how it came about. Geoffrey had asked me three times to marry/and three times I had said “No,” iu the most decided manner. Bnt that never made the least difference to him. He only laughed and said I would know, my own mind better next time. “I suppose,” I said, “you mean to ask me once a quarter?” “Is that enough?’ “Too often, a great deal, sin” “Well, then, we will say once in six months, Miss Olive.” And then he walked smilingly away, and began some nonsensical talk with father about- Dr. Koch and his bewildering theories. This last asking was just at the beginning of the warm weather, and father, who thought Geoffrey’s opinion infalliable, asked him where to go for the summer. I had made np my mind to go to Long’Branch and I said so, very distinctly; but Geoffrey proposed some out-of-the-way place in the Virginia' mountains. Then he painted it in such glowing colors that nothing would satisfy father bnt a personal investigation. It was all Geoffrey’s doing, and I told bim so at the railway station. “It is your (loing, sir,” I said, and I shall remember you for it” “Thanks, Olive,” he replied; “There is nothing I fear but for getfulness.” I wanted to speak unmistakably to him, bnt the train moved, and I felt that it would be only waste of material. At the end of the second day we got to oar destination. It was a pretty place; 1 mnst acknowledge that Nature had done all she coaid for it, but art and civilzation had passed it by. The men were simply “frights,” and the women were—well, none too good for the men. The houses were log-cabins, through’ which daylight peeped and the wind blew as it listed. Bnt there was, of course, a big white hotel—there always is. I have no donbt if we had gone to Stanley Falls or Guthrie we shonld have passed his found a hotel,and proprietor—the pnt on my white evening dress, he woald have lost a trifle of his self- complacency—that i3, if men ever do make a loss of that kind. The first thing that pleased me was the supper. It was really good, par ticularly the - berries and cream, j which are a specialty with me. “Bnt, sir,” I inquired, “are there any Christians here besides our selves?” ' “It is to be hoped so, Olive, saw a little church in the valley.’ “Pshaw, father! I did not mean church Christians; I mean society Christians.’ “Ah, they are different, ar* they? Well, what do yon think of Augusta Pennington for a Chris tian?’ ’Augusta Pennington! Is she here?”, I' asked, amazed. “No, she is not here, but her brother lives within two miles, and he has a daughter abont the same age as yourself Mrs. Pennington wrote them we shonld be here to day; they will doubtless call in the morning.” Well, T- did not care if they did. The dresses in my tranks were suf ficient to inspire any woman with comfortable assurance. The next morning I made a beautiful toilet, bat neither Mr. nor Miss Lacelles called. Just after supper I heard a little stir and bnstleon the stairs, a rippling langb, the rustle of silk en robes, and, ieaning on her fa ther's arm, Miss Lacelles entered. She was beantiful; I saw that at 'a glance; tall and pale and lady-like, reminding yon of a fair white lily. We soon struck a friendship—a girl’s friendship I mean. Some one has said that there k no friendship between the sexes, and some one is mistaken, I think, for the world holds no safer friend for a woman than an honorable man. A woman’s friendship is very like ly to be the result .of convenience, contiguity, or of being, as my fa ther rather sneeringly remarked, :he only Christian within hail of each other.” Mary showed me all her dresses and told me all her se crets, and I returned the compli ment, mindfnl of Burn’s advice to still “keep something to myself I wadna tell to ony.” Life settled down into an unex citing bat eudarablerontine. Mary and I visited each other and ranged our next winter’s campaign, for I had invited her to pass the cold weather with me in New York. One day, in the middle of one of those pleasant chants, a servant came in and handed me a card, The name on it roused at once all the antagonism in my nature. It was “Geoffrey Gardiner.” Now it so happened that the ex istence of this gentleman was the one thing 1 had kept back in my confidences with Mary. So I had now to explain who and what he was. I wanted her to come into the parlor with me; hat no, she would go home first and dress; bat she promised to be back to tea. I disliked Geoffrey, yet I was glad to see him. My mental fac ulties were mating for. want of at traction. Father woald not quar rel with me, and Mary was my only face card. I could not throw her away. Besides, I liked to see bis great, handsome figure jn the room, He was so frfil of life that he seemed to vitalize even the chairs and stools; they tumbled about and got out of the way in the strangest manner. I told him about Mary Lacelles, and warned him that he woqld lose his heart He gravely told me he had none to lose. Imagine six feet two inches of manhood withont r. heart We waited ten for Mary : bat she by whispering, chair: “Checkmated, Olive!” It was not a pleasant evening for me, and it was the beginning of many unpleasant ones. “How it came let doctors tell, IN MEMORY OF MBS.

As I walked in at one door, Geoffrey walked m at the other. “Lpame to take yon to Mr. La celle’s, Olive,” he said. “How do you propose to do it, sir? For unless yon bind me band and foot, and get a couple of men to tote me there, I really don’t think you will succeed.’’ “1 could carry you myself.’ “Could you?

With her pure Christian character, at tended by her genial disposition, she spread an influence over the hearts "of the young that will be greatly missed. She was social and companionable iu her uature; the old and the young alike loved and sounght her company. Their confidence she had gained,and was ever ready to give such advice as was needed in their walks through life. Her place iu the church was always filled (unless providentially hindered); by precept and exam ple she labored for the good of the church and the spread of the-gos- pel. We all know how. dear to her heart was its every interest, how devotedly she wa^ied in its ordi nances, and how we longed for a love and trust like hers. Every Pastor was her special care, and their families ever found in her a true friend. Her presence was a benediction to all, and her daily walk never swerved from the side of her God, for her song " had so long been: “Wherever He may guide me, No want shall win me back; lly Shepherd is beside me, And nothing shall I lack.” She passed through many sore trials and afflictions, yet she bore them meekly, patiently, and with that Christian fortitude and resig nation that was.ever characteristic of her life. Her God was a God of love", and whatever it pleased Him to send, was to her a blessing, and iu Him she put her trust, for she knew her Father’s arm was about her, and nothing could part her from the “love that passeth understanding.” Through life the angels hovered abont her pathway, increasing her courage and faith, which never wa vered but waxed stronger,till these guardian Spirits bore the triufn- phant Spirit to its’ GodT In Heav en there was rejoicing that day. A soul entered to be forever with the Lord. The voice that ever spake for her Master is chanting Allelu- vahs with the Saints.

For this reason an income tax is one of the growing questions. And this to the laboring people is a very important question. It is a known fact that mnch of the wealth of this country, owing to car financial system, • never pays one dollar of tax to the support of the general government. Under an income tax system this class of wealth woald be made to contribute its pro rata oi taxation, and the burden of the poorer and laboring classes would be made lighter. This point is clearly shown from the following, clipped from an exchange: “For many years wealth has es caped federal taxation. The rich man, if he consumes no more than the poor man, pays no more tax to the government The revenue laws are framed in the interest of the wealthy, and exempt them from the just bnrdens of taxation. The remedy is the .income tax. It is necessity, or the farmers will nev er better their condition. Until we have it all tariff and financial reform will be a mere sbam. “No matter if the tax is odious. All taxes are odious to some peo ple. This tax- will be just It will follow the system of the states, counties and municipalities, under which wealth is ' taxed—under which the man who is worth ten or a hundred times more than his neighbor, pays taxes in proportion. As matters stand at present wealth escapes federal taxation, and. contributes nothing to the government” I lock it on the number 1234. Now yon unlock It See, the number is now 1285. And yon cannot get it back to the first number, do what yon may. AR onr locks begin at 1, and stop at 9,999, giving them a life of service of thirty-three j ear.-. When the last nnmber is reached the lock will not work any more unless it is sent back to the facto ry and ‘upset.’ This fact was un known to the route agent who ran between Altoone and Harrisbqig in 18S1, when the lock was first adopted by the government. He had no difficulty in procuring a key to open the lock, and figured that he conldmanage togothrongh the contents of his poneb, and by the use of a turning table, which betook in. the car with him, lie conld’soon send the numbers fly ing till he could get back to the number charged against him on leaving the postoffiee at Harris burg. It"was mail lock No. 102, registered out on No. 23. After going through the contents- of the pouch, and getting a good swag, he placed his lock in the lathe and commenced to tarn.

The hogs, he. said, would soon eat np the coals and the cholera would cease. The gentleman who was telling Mr. Owens, of the remedy said that he and several others had tried it for several years, and that they had lost no hogs from cholera daring the time. - * Indiana has jngt settled a very carious lawsuit about a c<iw.
