meeting was held at the room of the rjjjjaber of Commerce, in Hopkins' Hall, Cincinnati, on Friday, the 12th inst, for the purpose of listening to an address ir Professor A. L. Terry, of Wiriianis

Ollese. Massachusetts, on the subject of

.reform in the tariff. Professor Terry wm introduced by Hon. Charles Reemelin and spoke as follows: Gixtlemkn It seems that there arc seme en in Cincinnati who do not know the difference between a reveuue tariff and a protective tariff. It seems also that there is a Senator from the State of Ohio of whom I shall say no disrespectful words who cannot clearly conceive the fundamental difference" between them. The difference is this: A revenue tariff is a tariff the duties of which are laid for the sail of the revenue, and a protective tariff is a tariff whose duties are laid not for the sake of revenue. Instead of being indistinguishable these two kinds of tariff are antagonistic. They are directly opposed to

each other. ow it a tarif is designed for revenue; the duties must be low so as to allow the foreign commodities on which the duties are levied to come in; if the ciBiitioditics do not come into the country --,.,. i fpmp.l am! r-nnspn hp n 1 1 w

old lady, one ef her long golden ringlets Lappened to touch, the withered face turned up to hers. 'Why don't you cut of those troublesome curls, Lottie?' she aBked. 'John likes to see them, mother.' 'Bah!' said the old lady: 'I think they're dreadfully unbecoming. A nice knot, twisted up tight, and tied round with brown or black ribbon, would look a great deal better.' Gentle Lottie's eyes grew graver and darker sure sign of coming tears. 'What time will John be home?' was the next question. Not before six o'clock.' 'Well, I guess I'll take a nap. Bring

me a pillow.' Lottie brought one. There that will do yeu can go.' Saying these words, the mother-in-law laid herself down on the sofa, and burying her nose in the pillow, was seon snoring soundly. Lottie sat down and had a good cry. 1 shan't havea bit of peace while John's

'Never you mind,' said the old lady. 'Maybe John'a mother ain't quite such a begger as folks take her to be. They are all yours, Lottie; you can do what yeu like with 'em buy a piano, if you've a mind to,' Lottie arose hastily, and throwing her arms around Mrs. Reland'a ncek, she kissed her repeatedly. 'Save some kisses for me, Lottie! exclaimed a voice behind her. She turned and aw her husband. 'Oh, John, I am so happy!' she cried. 'Let me kiss you, too!'

Before marriage, Lottie's life-path was gay with roses and golden with love-light. She lived in a bright and beautiful home, surrounded by kind faces, tender voices and sunny smiles where no word, look, or tone of unkindness ever reached her.

I How was it with her after marriage? Well, j Lottie got along very well, at first. John ! Roland was extravagantly fond and proud i of his craceful little wile: and thouch

tne salt cellar. ionns meats were overdone, or half cooked. Lottie's pie and bread makiug was worse than ever everything went wrong. The sharp, scolding voice of the old lady, followed Lottie wherever she went, and she seemed to take a grim delight in burdening the poor little soul 'with crosses and with cares.' Before her son Mrs. Roland was as meek as a dove and as gen-

i tie as a saint; it was only when 6he was j alone with Lottie that she lectured and

scolded.
