THE EDITOR’S GUEST. | omy \;ILI:;:—OABLETQ:'. { E The following, from the pen of ki}hé new and gifted young poet of the No#thwest, was read by the author before the Michigan State Publishers’ Associdion, at its annual meeting, in Bay City. We commend its perusal to all who woulden~ joy a rare literary treat, and at thesame time imbibe, in a pleasant, way, Some knowledge of the peculiar trials and troubles, joys and sorrows, of an Edior's Yife: v . o gt

The Editor satin his sanctum, his countenance : furrowed with care, - . His mind at the bottom of buginess, Hhis feet at the top of a chair, : : His chair-arm an' elbow supporting, his right hand ugholding his head, His eyes on his dusty old table, with diferent documents sgread; . There were thirty long pages from Howler, vith underlined capitals toppcd, o And a short disquisition from Growlez, requesting his newspaper stopped; i, : There were lyrics from Gusher, the poet, concern-. ing sweet flowers and zephyrs, And a stray gem from Plodder, the farmer, describin% a couple of heifers; ¢ There were billets from beautiful maidens, and bille from a grocer or two, : And his best leader hitched to a letter, which n. quired if he wrote it; ar who? 2 There were raptares of graißes from writers ¢f the smooth and mellifluous school, ! And one of his rival’s last papers, informing him he wag a fool; i There were several long resolutions, with rames i telling who they were by, i Canonizing some harmiess old brother who hac done nothing worse than to die; ! There were traps on that table to catch him, ani i eerpents to sting and to smite him, There were gift enterprises to sell him, and bites attems;ting to bite him x There were long staring ‘‘ads” from the city,[ani . money Evlnh never a one, i Which ' added, ‘“Please give this insertion, anl send in your bill wken youw're done;” T There were letters from organizations—their meeings, their wants, and their laws— Which said, ‘“Can you print this announcer ent for the good of our glorious cause?” There were tickets inviting his presence to festiwvals, parties, and shows, ; Wrapped in notes, with ““Please give us a notice,” demurely slipped in at the close; . In short, as his eye took the table, and ran o’er it ink-spattered trash, : There wis nothing it did not encounter, except: ing perhaps it was cash. :

The Editor dreamily pondered on scveral ponderous things, : On different lines of action, and the pulling of di ferent strings; : Upon some equivocal-doings, and some unequivecalduns; X On how few of his numerous patrons were 'quiely prompt-paying ones; On friends who subscribed “just to help him,” and wordy encouragement, . And had given him plenty of counsel, but never had paid him a cent; . On vinegar, kind hearted people were feeding lim S - eyery honrg: : : Who saw not the work they were doing, but won- - dered that “printers were sour;”’ ; On several inte!liéent townsmen, whose kindness was 80 without stint. e That they kept an eye out on his business, emd told him just-what he should print; o On men who had rendered him favors, and nerer . pushed forward their claims, So/long as the paper was crowded with locals con taining their names; ; : On various other small matters, sufficient his temper to spoil, - And finally contrived to be making the blood of an editor boil; And 80 one may see that his feelings could haxdly be said to be smooth, . - And he nceded some pleasant occurrence his awa- ; kened emotions to soothe; - He had it; for 10, on the threshold, a slow andreliable tread, 5 { : And a farmer invaded the sanctum, and these are the words that he said: : y

**Goad mornin’, sir, Mr. Printer; how is your body to-day ? ; I'm glad you're to home; for you fellers is a’ays away; . 4 Your paper last week was'nt 80 spicy nor sharp as the one week before; ; : But I B’pose when the campaign is opened, you’ll be whoopin’ it up to ’em more; That fellow that’s printin’ Zhe Sinasher, is goin’ for you pretty smart, : . Anad onr folks e4id this mornin’ at breakfast, they . thought he was gettin the ftamt. Ei

“‘But I hushed ’em right up in & minit and said a good word for you: I told ’em I believed you was tryin’ to do just as well as you knew; { And T told them that some one was sayin’, and who ever ’twas-it is 80; = That you can’t expéct much of no man, nor blame him for what he don't know. : But, layin’ aside pleasure for business, I've brought you my little boy Jim; And I thought I would see if you-could’nt make an editor outen o’ him. ! “My family stock is incredsin’, while other folks’ gseems to run short; I've got a right smart of family—it’s one of the old : fashion sort.= ; : : There’s Ichabod;'lsaac and Israel, a workin’ away on the farm— ’ They do ’bout as much ag.one good boy—and make things go off like a charm. , | There’s Moses and Aaron are sly ones, and slip . like a couple of eels; L But they're tol’able steady in one thing—they always git round to their meals. There's Peter is busy inventin’ ‘(tnough what he . invents I can’t see); : And Joseph is stadyin’ medicine—and they're both of ’em boardin’ with me. : i “There’s Abram and Albert is married, each, workin’ my farm for himself; And Sam smashed his nose at a shootin’, and so he is'laid on the shelf. . e ‘The rest of the boys are all growin’ ’cept this little runt which is Jim; - And I thought that Perhaps I'd be makin’an edi- © tor outen o’ him¢

‘‘He ain’t no great shakes for tolabor, though I've labored with him a good deal And give him some strap;lnln’ good arguments I know he could’nt help but to feel, But he’s built out of second-class timber, and _nothin’ about him is big, ; Exceptin’ his appetite only, and there he’s as good as a pig. *lkeep him. carryin’ luncheons, and fillin’ and bringin’ the jugs, ; : And take him among the pertaters, and set him to pickin’ the bugs, And then there’s things to be adoin’ a helpin’ the women in-doors— ! There’s churnin’ and washin’ of dishes, and other . discriptions of chores, | But he don’t take to nothin’ but victuals, and he’ll never be much, I'm afraid, - So I thought it would be & good notiontc learn him the Editor’s trade.: ‘His body’s too small for a farmer, his judgment is rather too slim, ; e But I thought we perhaps could be makin’ an Ed- : itor outen o’ him. . ‘lt ain’t much to get up a paper—it would’'nt take him long for tolearn; - : He could feed the machine, I am thinkin’, with .. some sBood strappin’ fellow to turn; . And things'that was once hard in doin’, is easy enough 7now to do— : ! Just keep an eye on your machinery, and’ crack your arrangements right throngfl! 1 used for to wonder at readin’, and when it was . got up, and how; : But’tis most of it made by machinery—l can see it all plain enough now.

T Tax-Dodging Game. As this is the very unpleasant time of year when the Assessor is upon his rounds, the equirming of the selfish and stingy, ' who would shrink their share of the common public burden; may be said to bave commenced. The devices of this class of designing people to dodge the Assessor or, that they may meet him, “to get rid of him easily,” as they cail it, are mani fold, ard not mofrequently mean. The most of the dodges are old, and the Assessor must be of & kind who goes blind at a wink, who suffers the public to be robbed thereby. We would not speak disrespectfully, and do not. To bear his just share of public taxation is the duty and should be the pleasure of every henorable citizen. The man who would creep to escape trom it, leaving his neighbor, and perhaps his poorer neighbor, to bear his share for him, is not worthy of gentler usage than we hereby accord him. Latterly there has come to be invented and successfully practiced a new game for tax dodging, and it is al! the more rep‘rehensible because it is made use of by the ~wealthier clgss of. people. It is, in 'the tew days before the coming of the Assessor, to convert, or pretend to convert, surplus cash iato government bonds, which, as all know, are not taxable; and then, afterwards, to convert them into money. For instance, heré is Mr. Fullwallet, who has $lO,OOO in money. If be has it out on intérest, or in bank drawing deposit interest, be must give it in to the Assessor and pay tax on it. It the tax be four per cent., as it is in some cities ‘with which we sre acquainted, the $lO,OOO pay $4OO tax. But Mr. F. has discover: ed bow hacan avoid this tax. He gets his banker to buy hima government bonds and these are untaxable property until the Assessor has gope by not to return for another year, when back go the bonds into money. And this is not the worst of it—mean as it is-of itself. With some bankers, one set of §lO,OOO bonds is made to d¢ for a dozen holders of $lO,OOO worth of bdnds each. *That is to-say, when Mr. Fulltvallet,. who has bought the bonds of. the Bank and deposited them in its care,’ comes! to see-them and count them over, he finds them there, to be sure, but—and here the gazelle of greater fraud comes'in —when Mr. Skinflint also comes to count his bonds, the same bonds are handed out to him—and so”on with a dozen others. Thus is one lot of bonds made to appear and to serve as ten lots of bonds. A man who never saw a government bond, can see through this transparent trick. Need we point out the rank injustice that is wrought by this thieving, for it is nothing else. It is simply this: The rich man with $lO,OOO surplus money pays no tax at all, while tlie poor man whb has no property but his homestead has to pay‘his full share of tax on that, since he can ‘not convert, or pretend to convert it, into untaxable bonds. We make no objections to government bonds or government bondholding. That they are a peculiar prep. erty is one of the dread inheritances we have from war. When the government needed money ; when its life depended on baving it, and when to loan money to it was a risk, it offered, and had to offer, unusually good terms to secure it, and pledge its good faith to the contract by which it got it. = This sacred compact, lying upon the honor of the nation, must be kept. But sharpers should not be allowed to profit by reason of trickeries which can be practiced under it. The man who holdsthe bonds, and keeps them the year round, hasa good thing in it; but he is honorable in it as well. = The man who flies to the bonds for the refuge of a day or a week against the Assessor, is a very different man. He's the man we are after. We write of what we do know when we say that a good deal of tax jumping is being done under this methoA. Let the public look-to this—and let the proper authorities ook to it in time that the Assessor is-neither a conscious nor an unconscious party to the fraad. Watch this matter. D b

: itow Much the Heog Weighed., - ] A bluff looking man, in a farmer’s work day costume, entered a railway carata way station. The car was well filled, all the seats being occupied but. 6ne, which was half filled by a finely dressed exqui site. The farmer, seeing his only chance for a seat, asked the exquisite if tother half of that seat was “took.” Receiving a negative answer, he responded : “Waal, then, I reckon I’ll squat.” : Like most of our bardy yeomanry, he was inclined to be sociable. “Snug winter morning,” said he. No response.

PHILOPENA. Its Origin—A Beautifal Story. . . There was once a beautful princess who had a great fondness for almonds, and ate them constantly, but nothing would induce her to marry, and in order to rid herself of her suitors, of whom there were a great ‘many, she invented the followjng device: To every prince who sought her hand, she presented the ‘half of a' double almond, while she ate the other half, and said: -“If yout. lordship can succeed in getting me to take anything from your hand befdre I say the words “Iremember,” then'l am ready to become your bride. But if, on the contrary, you receive any thing from me, without thinking to speak these words, then you .must agree to bave your hair shaven entirely off your head and leave the kingdom.” ; This, however, was an artful stratagem, for, according to the court custom, no,one dared to hand anything directly to the princess;but first to the court lady, who then offered it to her. Bat if, on the other hand, the princess should desire to give or take anything— who could refuge her ? So it was useless for her suitors to make the trial, for when they seemed likely to be successful, and had diverted the princees 80 fhat she was about to take some: thing from them, the court lady always stepped between, and epoiled the best laid plan. 4 ’ When the princess wished to dispose ot one of them, she would appear so charming and encouraging to him, that when he sat at her feet, overcome with joy,.then she would seize upon anything near her as though by accident, ‘take this as'a re: membrance of me,” and when he Nad it in bis hands, before he could think or speak the necessary words, there would spring cut at him, from it, perhaps a frog, or a bat, and so startle him that he would forget the words. Then, upon the spot,: he.was shaven, and away with'him, This_ went on for .some years, and in all the palaces of the other kingdoms the princes wore wigs. Thus it'came to be the custom from that time.

' Fically it happened that'a foreign prince came upon some peculiar business, and by accident saw the almond princess. He thought her very- beautiful, and at once perceived the stratagem. A friendly little gray man had given him an ap-~ ple that once a year he was privileged to siiell,and then there came into his mind a very wise ides, and he had becomemuch renowned on account of bis deep wisdom. Now it was exactly time for him to make uze of his apple. So with tbe scent” from it came this warning': st “If though wouldst wih in the game of giving and taking, under no cireumstances must thou either give or take anything.” : o 4 So he had his hands bound in his belt, and sent his marshal to the palace, and asked to be allowed to eat bis almond. The princess was secretly much pleased with bim, and immediately banded him_ an almond, which his marshal took and placed in his mouth. The princes inquired what this meant, and, moreover, why he constantly carried his hands in his girdle. ; - He replied that at his court the custom was even more stongly enforced thamw at hers, and he dared not give or take anything with his bands, at the, most, with only his head and feet. . Then the princess laughbed and said: - : . “In this case we will never be ableto have our little game together.” : He sighed and answered : L “Not unless you will be pleased;to take something from my boots.” _ -“That can never happen!” exclaimed the whole court. e o : “Why have you come hither?” asked the princessangrily, “when you have such stupid customs?” : { “Because you are so beautiful,” replied the prince. “And ifl cannot wip you I may for once have the pleasure of seeing ou.” i : | “On the other hand, I have no :similar gratification,” said she, So the prince remained at the jpalace, and he pleased - her more and more, but when the humor seized her she would try in every manner to persuade him .to/take his bhands from his girdle, and to receive something from her. Shealso entertained him charmingly, and frequently offered him flowers, bonbons and trinkets, and finally ber bracelet, but not once did he stretch out his hand to take them, for the pressure of the girdle reminded him in time. So he would nod to his mars shal, and be received them, saying, “We remember.” i - Then the princess would 'become impatient and exclaim: . “My handkerchief has fallen! Can your lordship pick it up for me?” - 3 : ]

Whereupon the prince would fasten his spur into it, and wave it carelessly, while the princess would have tb stoop and remove it from his foot, apgrily saying: “I remember.” ! e Thus a year passed away, and the prin cess said to herself: S , “This cannot remain so. It must be settled in one'way or the other.” She said to the prince: " 4T have one of the finest gardens in the the world. I will show your lordship over it to day.”. ¢ & " The prince smelt of his apple, and ag they entered the garden said : " ; “It lis very beautiful here, and in order that we may walk near each other: in peace, and not be disturbed by the desire to try our game, I beg you, my lady, that for this one hour you will take upon yourself the custom of my co_urf,‘ nd let your hands also be fastened. ﬁen we will be safe from esch other’s r&rts, and there will be nothing to annoy us.” ~ The princess did not feel very ‘safe about this arrangement, but he begged so strongly that she could not refuse him thizsmall favor. 'So they went on alone together, with their hands [fastened in their girdles. The birds sang, the sun shone warmly, and from the trees the red cherries hung solow that they could reach them as they passed. The priccess saw them and exclaimed: . “What a pity that your lordship is not able to pick a few for me!” : “Necessity knows no law,”,said the prince, and he broke one of the cherries with his teeth from & branch, and offered it to the princes from his mouth. - The princess could not do otherwise than receive it from °his mouth, and so her face was brought close to his. So ‘when she had the cherry between her lips, and & kiss irom him besides, she was not able to say tiiat instant, *I remember.” - Then be cried joyfally, “Good morning, much loved one,” and drew his hands from his girdle and embraced her. And they speut the rest of their lives together in perfect peace and quietness.— From the German of Gustav Freytay. -
