THE BUM BILL.

The following it from the Journal of tho American Temperance Union: At a late county temperance meeting Which we attended, a plain farmer rose and said thai he was one day going to work and an officious sort of a man overhauled him exclaiming:

Mr. Mr.———, I have a bill •gainst you!' 'Against me* was the reply, *1 guess you are mistaken this time* 1 owe you nothing.' 'Oh, it is not my bill,'said the man, 'I am only the collector, ft ks a tax bill.'

Ah! a rum bill!' 'Yes, said the collector, W you've a mind to understand it so, and about half 1 call upon are of this opinion they mutter terribly about the rum taxes, the number of lazy, drunken fellows in the poor house, and the criminals taken up every day, making an enormous cost to the county and I believe if it was not for rtsin shop*, the taxes would not be one quarter as heavy as they are: you have given It about the right name—a rum bill-—only I should not like to have the name ot a rum bill collector.'

On saying this he sat down but it proved a most effective speech, for others took up the thought, and the rum bill, assessed upon temperance men, was no', lost sight of to the close of the meeting Indeed, the idea that a temperance man ahould be met with a demand which could only appropriately be made of a drunkard. 'Sir, I have a rum bill ogaimu you,' and be compelled to submit to it, and pay it, while it was at first quite ludicrous, soon excited burning indignation, words were wanting to express the strength of a demand, ond ihaymmcdr ately for the Maine Law.

I Would that we could travel the State, «hd show to every hard working man the amount of his rum bill, that we could set down by the shoemaker, working day and night to pay his rent, and support his family, and auk him how much was his rum bill. ifri •Rum bill! I never drink rum.**" •Very well, sir, but you pay a rum bill. What was your tax last year?' 'Sixteen dollars, and twenty-five cents.' |Very well, sir ten dollars and eighty* four cents of that was your rum bill/

By the blacksmith,

I would if 1 could, but it requires all I can raise to support my family.' 'Sir, you are now devoting the dtice of your best lot to a worse pose,' ,'I am, sir. what do you mean?' a'l mean to pay your rum bill!' •Sir, you're mistaken in your mon Hum used to cost me twenty and thirty dollars in haying and harvesting, but I have not p^id a rum bill these six years.' •Have not? what were your taxes for the last year.' ,•£*: W" 'i* •Over forty dollars.' •Well, two-thirds of thai was a rum tax. The pauper tax of the State of Now York in 1840, according to the Legislature Reports, was $817,441 of this, 670,178, was set down to intemperance, and you had to pay your share of li.— Now go for a MaiAe Law, nnd you may have nearly the whole of the produce of your farm ior yourself and children.'

LET ME SI.EFP.

•Let me sleep,' said my companion once, half pettishly turning from my touch 'Let me sleep.' Tho words haunted my memory for hours afterwards.— How often haa the wish been breathed in this weary world. 'O, let me sleep.'

The man whose conscience lashes him for misdeeds—evils committed and unrepented of, cries as he drops his head on his thorny pillow Let me sleep! with sleep comes oblivion.' The mourner who has seen some bright and beau tiful ono fade from his embrace, like a summer flower nipped by a too early frost, bows his head over the prostrate form below him, and sighs in the agony of his scut, 'Let me sleep!"—sleep with the loved one who?9 smile shall never welcome my footsteps more.' 'Let me sleep,' says the traveler, who foot-so re and weary, has toiled long in the world and seen hopes perish unfulfilled joya wither ere they were tasted friendship which he thought enduring changing hue like the chameleon, and fading aod melting into colorless air.— *0» let me sleep, for 1 am weary The roav cheeked child, the bright eyed maiden, the thoughtful matron, those for whom life puts on its finest aspects, its most endearing smiles, ell have periods in which they long for steep, tor the oblivion of all care hours in which the water* of Lethe may flow darkly and deeply over them.

There cometk a ileep to till/ it s!ee]t deep, hushed end (Mreith)eM« The rotr of ihe cmnnen, the deep-toned thunderbolt, the shock of tn earthquake, or the ruuh often thcustnd armies cannot break up its stilt repose. With mute lips end folded erms, one after soother take their piece tn the chambers of these pallid sluraberert one after soother, the ephemeral of earth sink down into the grave and into the darkness of nothingness.— No intruding footsteps shsll jar upon their rest—no disturbing touch shall wring from them thetre, the exclamation, 'Let me sleep!'

In the month of October last, I was afflicted with ascveregathering in mv breast, which formed a large abscess, and almost communicated to my lungs, and very mtich afflicted them, and discharged large quantities of corruption, extertal and internal. My breath could aTso pass through my lungs and out through the cavity of my brenst with apparent/ease, attended with a violent cough, day and night, loss of appetite, and extreme debility, so that my physician thought my oaso entirely hopeless, and beyond the power of medicine. I remained in this wretched condition lor a long time, until 1 was waisted^D a mere skeleton, nnd there seemed to be no hope for nr£ but having read in the public papera of the fnany wonderfu Icures performed by your

OMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY, 1 immediately sent to Baltimore for live bottles, and commenced its use, aud to my great satisfaction and the joy of my anxious family, tho abscess or cipening in my lungs began to heal, and the cough to subside, and on using ten bottles, 1 was restored to perfect health. 1 feel very grateful, and firmly believe that to your valuable medicine, under the Blessing of Divine Providence, I am indebted for this great change, and am hippy to say that 1 am now enjoying as good health as I ever have. •.
