Berlin is handy, we take the city as if it were a toy and throw it into our box. We go to Potsdam, pick up all the villages on the way alsoa and put all in. The bottom is not covered yet. We take Paris, with all her columns, towers and churches, which helps little, so we must take London, also. Vienna must n-o in ton. nnd St. Ptersh-jro- must follow next.

He said: Here is a statement showing- a few of the burdens of the farmer: Under the tariff he rises in the morninrr, puts on his common flannel shirt taxed 9o per cent.; his coat taxed oi per cent., shoes taxed 35 per cent, and hat taxed 02 per cent.; takes the water from a bucket taxed 35 per cent., and washes his face and hands in a tin bowl taxed 32 per cent, dries them on a cheap cotton towel taxed 45 per cent. He sits down to his humble meal, and eats from a plate taxed 50 per cent., with a Jcnife and fork taxed 35 per cent., drinks his coffee witk sugar taxed CS per cent., seasons his food with salt taxed 59 per cent., pepper taxed Gl per cent. He looks around upon his wife and children, all taxed in the same way; takes a chew of tobacco taxed 199 per cent., or lights a cigar'taxed 118, per cent. And, sir, even the sun light from heaven that pours into his humble dwelling must come through window-glass taxed 59 per cent. And yet he thinks he lives in the freest government under heaven. Then he start 6 to work, puts a bridle taxed 35 per cent, on his horse, and takes his horse that has been shod, the nails used in shoeing being taxed 50 per cent., driven bj a hammer taxed 20 per cent. and hitches ( him to plow a taxed 45 per cent. with chains taxed 58 per cent.; and after the day's labor is closed and his family all gathered around, he reads a chapter from his Bible taxed 22 per cent, and knee's to God on a humble carpet taxed 51 per cent., and then he rests his wearied limbs on a sheet taxed 45 per cent, and covers himself with a blanket that has paid 104. per cent. Nor do these graspiug manufac turers stop here, but even the broom with which his irood wife sweens the floor is taxed 3G tier cent., and the cooking vessels used in nrennriiio- her husband's i frugal meal are, taxed 42 per cent.. ' j and the soda used to lighten his' 1 bread taxed 50 per cent. She sits down to her sewing with a! j needle taxed 25 per cent, and ai 'spool of thread taxed 74 per cent.

Il ma' not be generally known that the governors of several states, in appointing the last Thursday of November as a da' of thanksgiving, were prevailed upon by a woman to select the same day. Tho lady who edited Godey's Lady's Book more than thirty years, Mrs. Sarah Joseph Hale, urged upon the governors of the several states to fix upon one da.
