,i mini is,' i Lps i u W-L as' Eytle late ect of Congress ex empting tLc earnings of Savings Banks from tnxation many millions of dollars ore saved for tic deposi tor ia tbese institutions. Sanngs Bants chattered opon the mutual; principle are now exempt from al taxation. FaTings Banks receiving and invesainjr money for the exclu sive benefit of the depositors (consist ing largely of the laboring classes) re considered beneficent institutions ; and in recognizing their meritorious objects and operations it las been deemed only just and gropcr that no taxes fehouM be levied upon their funds. This law in their favor is of great consequence to Saving Banks, Baring for their depositors an immense mm of money. Before the passago of the late act single Savings Bank in ew York was compelled to pJ.&t one time fclOOO tax on net earnings. The Dollar Savings Back of Pitts burgh paid, in 182, $5,356. As an exampl. of the great paving made for these Institutions through their exemption from taxation, we will mention the fact that the Johnstown Savings Bank, if it had been taxed upon its deposits and earnings, as were other banks and bstikers, would hare paid for the year 1873 thirlrrn hundred and ninety dollars. The amount of this tax in ten year, with six per cent compound interest, would of itself create a fund of nearly twen ty thousand dollars. A rrr4 Sew 3Ielltrrnen. "The nation of ideas," Fays the London Daily Telegraph, "has it in contemplation at present to create a new Mediterranean. Such a concep tion might provoke the jealousy even of M. de Lesseps, who turned Africa Into an Island; but it ia Lis own country which entertains this uoiu - i t. i. design, ana tne pian nas wren u- mitted to tne irtDmus piercer, uu the result of obtaining his warm com mendation. Nor would anybody call the thing impossible who has seen the region which it i proposed to convert into a sea some fire hundred miles long by sixty broad. The Isth mus of Kbsbs, or Cabes, at the bot tom of the Gulf anciently called Syrtis Minor, is a Bandy ridge or neck which has been formed by the Medi terranean, and which now separates from it a long and deeply-depressed tract of country, extending from Cabes to the Bcni Xezaband El Erg. This region was once evidently cov ered bv the pea, and it still contains & number of shotts, or salt swamps, around which the soil is marshy and Veacberous, while the drier portions are covered with magnesian deposits pMninc with blindincr whiteness nn- Aar Hi a friran sun. It is a land of horrible 6terility and nselcssuess, dangerous to traverse, poisoning the air round about ; and, but for certain oaees which might disappear, to the astonishment and disgust of tbeii inhabitants, it would be just 03 well under water as dry Moreover, if the Mediterranean could be let into this vast arid basin, the climate would probably inprove, as that of the Suez desert has done ; the uplands round the basin, moistened by tie sea air and clouds, would become more or less fertile for pasturage and agricul ture, and the provinces of Constan tly and Algiers, if not even part of Oran, would gain a double sea fron tage. Can, then, the intervening wall be cut TM.de Lesseps and modern .Rcieac reply, 'Undoubtedly.' The Khabs ridge is only eighteen kilome- ires mrougu : n is ugnt au vnsuy managed soil, and the expense of driving channel tnrougn it is not reckoned at more than half a million sterling. But where the water would go, and what it would do, and how long the Mediterranean would be be fore it indignantly built up the wall again, and left the 'Algerian Baltic' to exhale it? pestiferous odo-s, is more than we should like to pro nounce opon without very exact sur voys. It might turn half the Sahara into an ocean and revelutionize the climate and commerce of North and West Africa. It might merely drown bo manr anakea. porcupines and Arabs, and then soak away into the drv and endless sands of the interior. None the less, it has its fascinating p tints a? a bold scheme; and the matter is nnder serious consideration with the Algerian authorities and the Academy of Sciences." IMnappvlatmeaU r Life. Half the misery of human life con Rists in our making a wrong estimate of it, and in being disappointed when we find out our fault We do not often begin at the right end. We put a much higher figure in the sum than it will bear, and we cry like a school boy when the addition is wrong. Our illusions commence in the cra dle, and end only in the grave. We all bare srrat expectations. Our ducks are never to be geese, our geese swans, and we cannot bear the truth when it comes upon ns. Hence our disappointments; lence Solomon cried out that all was vanity, that k-e lad tried everything, easy pleas ure, easy beauty, and found it very empty. Perhaps the bitterest feeling in onr life are those which we experi ence, when boys and girls, at the fail ure of our frieodf-bips and our loves. We lave leard of false friends; we have read of deceit in books ; but we know nothing about It, and hard ly believe what re hear. Our friend u to be as true as steel. He is al ways to like us; and we Lira. He is a second Daemon, we a Pythias. We remember the fond old stories of cel ebrated friendships ; how one shared bis fortune, another gave his life. Our friend is jubt of that sort; he is wonderfully generous. We talk of him, be will praise us. The whole people around who laugh at the sud den warmth, we regard as old fogies, wbo do not understand Jne naif as well as we do. But by-and-by our friend vanishes ; the image which we thought was gold we find made of mere clay. We grow melancholy ; we are fond of reading Byron's poe try ; the sun is not nearly so bright nor the tky so blue as it used to be. We sing with the noblest poet "Mj dajrf are la the yellow leaf, Tbc Bewen and lb fruit are gait ; Tike vom, the canker, an-i the rrlef Are mine looe r" We cease to believe in friendship; we quote old saws, and fancy our selves cruelly used. We think our selves philosophic martyrs, when the Him j ile truth is we are disappointed. A St Joe (Mo.) father with the aid of a friend, undertook t frighten bis bob, who was driving home with pome lucre upon Lis person, by assu ming the role of highwaymen. The genial parent was somewhat discon certed when his offspring pulled a pistol from hit pocket and blazed away at the author of bis being. The old man rolled over into a ditch, and does not believe in the timidity of Lis bod as much as be did. SrBsctiiBi roa Tne Hebald. Kbrrp Old HesKtowa. Mr. 11. G.

A young hunter writes to Beadle's Saturday Journal Tor advice about learning to shoot The advice was as follows : To learn to shoot, first select a rood rifie. Noradavs these are n!nt;fi!l There are manr kinds of breech-leading sporting rifie3, all good, tnd costing from $30 to $50, with fine sights adopted for fine shootinir. The most ordinary kind ! is that known as the "peep and globe" sight, an American invention, me rear sight has a little pinhole, through which you bok and see the mark and.also the front sight, which is a short, slen-ler p;n with a globular head. To shoot well with these sights, you have only to bring the head of the pin on the bull's eye, and, if the gan is from a good maker, the ball will go straight to whatever that pin-head covers. The rear or "peep" sight is a disk that can be shifted up and down a graduated scale to give more or less elevation to the bore according to the distance "Peep and globe" sights ore very easy to shoot through. You have only one thing to attend to, which is to bring the front sight on the object fired at With open sights you have to attend to three, the mark and both sights. All three have to be brought into the sane line before firing, and the front sight, if shown too much or too little, makes wild shooting. With a "peep and globe," the rear Bight attends to itself. Having selected your rifie, practice in vour own room, aiming at a wafer on the wall. You will soon find out bow to keep both sights steady on tie object After a day of two, cock the piece, and pull the trigger when aiminjr. Continue this practice till you can pull without disturbing your aim. This will take you nearly a week. Then commence with caps, then with blank ca-tridge. Tersevere for three weeks without any bullet, and when vou come out for target practice at last, you will find that you will bit the target every time. l our further progress depends on yourself alone. From hitting the target you will get to making centers, and finally bull's-eyes, Remember to keep a record of every shot fired, and where it went to. Unless you know why you have missed, you will never know Low to bit Ten sbo'.s a day, fired slowly and with careful aim, are worth a hundred fired rapid lv. When you can make' bull's-eyes ail the time, you may begin to think of a quick aim. Till then, take your time, and keep cool, for one hit is worth fltty misses. A Hexleahi Tewo. A recent letter-writer Bays that rne Mexican town will generally serve as a pattern for all, though there may sometimes be individual departures from the rule. The oddest feature of Mexican bouses i3 the Bpouts which carry off the rain from the roof. These spouts are of clay-ware, are cylinders, and some two or three inches in di ameter at the mouth, which projects over the sidewalk, or where the sidewalk often should be. With their glazed, dark-red color, these conduits look just like so mr.ny cannon thrust ing their muzzles out 6ome two or three feet from the front wall. The stranger who first 6ees these spouts can compare them to nothing bo fitly as to cannon planted in a breastwork, and thus, as he casts his eyes along a block, the latter looks for all the world like a fort. But let bim be un derneath them when a genuine Mex ican thunder-shower comes on, and the discharge will be of a character that will leave no doubt in his mind either as to quality or quantity. The roofs of houses are here made flat, generally of tiles, overlaid with tin or asphalt, or other kind of material. The floors are of red tiles, some two or three inches thick, and about nine inches square. Some of the ceilings of the better class of houses are form ed or tiles of some design or figure, and some of the floor tiles are figured in various patterns. A fox that bad been caught young w as chained in a yard, and lecame so tame that fowls and geese hp pro ached it without fear. "Pretty thing!" said the mistress. "It does no harm. It is cruel to keep it chained." So she unbuckled its collar and let it run. Scarcely, however, had she turned ber back, than she beard a great chuckling from ber poultry' Looking around, she saw the tox scampering off with her plump pet pullet thrown over bis shoulder. "You treacherous, ungrateful little villianl" cried the woman, "and I thought vou were bo good." There are many little foxes that need chaining. Tereistbe put-off-8tudying--your-lessons-till-the last- minute fox that runs off with your good marks at school ; Master Key card "speak-without-thinking," which is always getting its owner into trouble; and Sly-oots "nobody-wil-Bec-you-do-it." Chain them up ! Chain them up! That's the only way to manage them. Toll. Something of the Old World fond ness for play, and daily or weekly in dulgence in it, should become habitu al among our workers. Toil would be sweeter if there were a reward at the end of it; work would be gentle when used as a means for securing ft pleasure which stands closer than an old ago of case; character would be softer and richer and more child like, when acquired among genial, every day delights. The all-absorbing strife for wealth, carried on witb fearful struggles and constant Belf-deniala, makes us pej.tr, irritable and bard. Kew Adecrlitemenle. THE I EETZ Grand Square Piano.
