    I've been thinking, I've been thinking,
    What a glorious world were this,

    Did folks mind their own business more,
    And mind their ueighbor's lesa,

    For instance, you aud I, my triend,
    Are sadly prone to talk

    Of matters that concerns us not,
    And athers’ follies mock:

    I've beeen thinking, if we'd begin
    ‘Te mind our own affiirs,

    That possibly our neighbors might

    Jontrive to manage theirs,

    We've faults enough at home to mend—
    It may be so with others;

    It would seem strange if it were not,
    Since all mankind are brothers,

    Ol! would that we had charity,

    Forgiveness is the mark of those
    Who know to “err is human.’’

    CRIME DETECTED ;
    OR, THE MIDNIGHT WATCH.
    BY Ago

    I pon’r think that I was ever out in a
    hotter day in Australian than the one of
    which Lam now about to write. The sun
    had been pouring down streams of fitey
    light, that made me thank my stars I was
    notin ‘Force’ uniform, though, as it was,
    the heat burning through the tweed coat
    upon my back made me feelas if it was
    cast iron, and rivited upon my body. My
    poor animal felt the fatigue and almost in-
    sufferable heat quite us much as I did, 1
    dare say; while the tlies, those torment-
    ing nuisances of bush life, nearly droye
    both him and me mad,

    Very beautiful in early merning is the
    green scattered ‘*bush” of Australia, A

    :| thousand beauties may be freshly discoy-

    ered, us it were, at every fresh mile of
    travel. In one spot, grand, crooked old
    leayes lean caressingly over some tortuous
    and glistening creek, or stand sentinel over
    their own reflections in the placid water.
    Early birds calls to each other from scent-
    cd golden wattles, or wash themselves in
    the shadow of the old gum-trees upon the
    vdge of the ereek. It it is te season
    for the stately magpie, le utters those de-
    licious gurgles of music, that cannot be
    compared with the notes of any other bird
    in the wide world, or stulks proudly over
    the y slopes, as if he really believed
    he and his were ‘monarchs of all they
    surveyed,”

    Later in the day, too, when the thermo-
    meter stands no higher than 103 or 104 or
    so, one may yet enjoy a ride through the
    elades of our eastern forest, The screams
    of the cockatoos are discordant, no doubt,
    but how enjoyable it is to catch a glimpse
    of them hovering over some tall tree or
    resting upon a bough, with outspread wing
    swaying themselves to and fro in the very
    enjoyment of pure life. Cawing crows
    are nasty things, too, and suggestive of
    something that one dosen't at all want to
    come in contact with; nevertheless. their
    feathers are so glossy and black, and the
    elear blue sky unflecked by a single cloud,
    throws their wings out into such boll re-
    lief nbove the grecn tree-tops, that one
    cannot but try to forget their disagreeable
    habits. and admire them as a part of a
    yery Australian bush seene.

    fell, L cannot be sure that you will es-
    actly know what Tam driving at, but lam
    coming to the point. After assuring you
    that 1 admire and enjoy the beauty of bush
    secnery as much as any one, when it is
    really admirable and enjoyable, T defy any
    man living to picture to hims(If or to en-
    dure a more detestable ordeal than a ride
    through that same beautiful bush scenery
    on the sort of day when my story com-
    menees, Over a long, broad, treeless
    plain, we will say, with the sun burning
    up every blade of grass dry and brown,
    und pouring down upon your miserable
    heads; oron a lonely track, when ouly
    now and then a tree comes aggravatingly
    near the road to make you wish for
    shade, if it were but for one moment; 1
    say aggrivatingly. for I think that, with
    respect to shade, those same cnea pti are
    the most aggravating trees in the universe,
    Fortunately [ was in no hurry upon that
    particular day. I was returning trom the
    suceesstul accomplishment of a tronble-
    some piece of police busin and was
    only anxions to get to my destination for
    the night, and over the seemingly intermi-
    nable day of heat [had just passed through ;
    but had [been upon the most urgent busi-
    ness in the world, it would have been next
    to impossible for my poor horse to have
    gulloped many ailes ata stretch, with the

    thermometer standing so high as it did

    that day.

    Poor Vino! T fanoy IT see her now, as

    we neared the lonely bush inn, where she

    was as certain as L was myself of rest and

    refreshment. She was a glossy bright

    bay, strongly built, and yet a half-blood ;

    and although she bore no broad arrow

    branded on her silky coat, she had Leen in

    the Foree many years. She was a detce-

    tive's animal, and [had ridden her most

    of the three years during which [ had seen

    colonial service, Ido believe she was al-

    most as good as a detective, as 1 was my-

    self; and Lam not ashamed to own that

    her sagacity and instinet--whatever you
    may choose to call it—gave me many a
    hint, of which I never found it tu my dis-
    advantage to avail myself.

    The sun then was just dipping below

    bullock dray approaching it from an oppo-
    site direction to that in which I iuyself
    travelled, and just as I drew up at the door
    the team also came toa halt in front of it;
    while the driver leisurely tumbling himself
    off the empty dray, proceeded into the bar,
    one might guess for the purpose of obtain-
    ing a nobbler., All this was very natural,
    and there was nothing whatever suspicious
    about it; butasthis man passed Vino, from
    whose back I had just alighted, she turn-
    ed her head sideways, with a suspicious
    twist that 1 well knew and gave a sniff at
    the man’s back, pretty much as a dog
    might do, when he happened to come in
    contact with a person, his instinct told him,
    was not to be trusted,

    ‘This was quite enough for me; and as I
    threw the bridle over the hook, I took a
    close survey of the bullock driver, Ue
    was a young, fair haired, and soft-featured
    man, certainly not more than twenty-seven
    years of age, dressed in the usual careless
    dress of a teamster; and the expression in
    his face of listless dreaminess—in sho t,
    just such an expression as one might ex-
    pect to see in the face of a man of little
    intelligence, who passed most of his time
    on the monotonous roads of a bush coun-
    try.

    As T entered the bar he asked for a pint
    of ale, and, receiving it, sat down on a
    bench that ran along the wall, and seemed
    absorbed in imbibing it, and in gazing
    listlessly out at his bullocks. Casting but
    nu glance at him as I passed, I informed
    the landlord of my intention of passing
    the night there, and requested that my
    horse might be carefully attended to, I
    have already spoken of my tweed co t. 1
    was dressed in a suit of tweed, and to all
    ay ance might have been a eemfortable
    farmer, or a country storekeeper oa my
    way to, or from transacting some business
    connected with my livilihood, at the not
    very distant large township.

    “T's been a terrible hot day, landlord.”
    T observed, as I availed mysel! of the drink
    [ had ordered.

    “Vrighttul, sir,” he replied, glancing at
    the thermometer that hung in the bar be-
    hind him. * At two o'clock the glass stood
    at 112, and I say that’s two hot for any
    white man.”

    “Orabhlack one either,” I answered care-
    lessly. ‘Well, will you see about my an-
    imal, if you ple By and by, when I
    get a bit cool, Pl go and see that she’s all
    right myself,”

    The landlord left to see after Vino, and
    Tremained sipping my brandy and water,
    and slyly watching the bullock driver, who
    still kept silence opposite. Ilis eyes seem-
    ed tobe fixed on the belt of the forest,
    which skirted the grass a little distance;
    and had it not been for the entire absence
    of any intellectual appearance of face or
    OXpre mn, one might have fancied he was
    aged in trying to solve some knotty
    problem, to the entire forgetfulness ol
    everything around him,

    At this momenta woman entered the
    bar. Iam not one to forget faces readily ;
    itis my trade to remember, and I recollect-
    ed having seen the very same face when I
    visited the ‘ Wallaby” some eighteen
    months before. This woman was a quiet,
    staid-looking person of about thirty years
    of age, precise ‘in her moyements, and
    rather slow. She was quite respectable
    looking, but had not a single iota of the
    too common ‘flashiness” of a colonial bar

    ay. to rince out some gla
    o polish them in the same mechanical sort
    of a manner, without lifting her eyes, that
    I could observe, from her employment.
    My seat commanded a view of both her
    and the bullock driver, it is true, but my
    thoughts were engaged so entirely with the
    latter that I paid but little attention to the
    bar-maid, and she wasnot one of those ob-

    rusive ones, who, for “the good of the

    1ouse,” will insist upon making themselves

    conspicuous,

    My man, however, appeared so com-

    pletely absorbed in his ale and himself, and

    manitested so little inclination to move.

    that at length T turned my regards toward

    the woman, At the moment [ did so, she

    lifted her eyes carelessly toward the door,

    and something she saw there distended

    them with some feeling of terror, while her

    checks grew ashy pale, and herlips as rig-

    id as stone; the glass in her hand, too,

    had almost eseaped hey fingers, but, with

    a strong efforts she placed it upon the tray

    and cadght hold of the counter as if to

    support herself, while she turned a quick,

    piercing glance first toward me, and then

    toward the bullock-driver—there her eyes

    rested.

    Naturally I looked at the door to sce

    what had occasioned the strange change in

    this quiet woman's face. TI saw nothing

    that could possibly have affeeted her, turn

    it any way I would. ‘The patient-looking
    bullacks were standing drowsily under
    their heavy yokes directly in front of the
    entvance and nothing else was in view,
    save a grassy patch of land over their Lacks
    and further away the green bush, now be-
    ginning to look dimmer, that the sun liad
    nearly set. and was throwing long shadows
    beneath the trees

    Town to being completely puzzled but
    was beginning to be quite in my clement.
    I like to be puzzled; and the detective in-
    stinct has grown so strong with habit, that
    to perecive there is a secret, isto give me
    an insatiable craving to find it out.

    T could not fancy the bar-maid was ac-
    quainted with the man, for the gaze she
    fixed on him was not one in which was the
    anxiety to find some trace of old acquaint
    ance, it was a look with which you might
    regard a person in some way notorious to
    find out what constituted his peculiar dif
    ference from other of his fellow men, And
    yet tho woman's eyes still retained that
    strange terror with which she had seen the
    unknowing something in her look oat
    through the doorway.

    All this, you wilt understand, scareely
    occupied a moment of time: and, alter her
    s'raight,quick survey of the bullock driver,
    the woman sauntered idly ae it were round
    the counter and stood in the doorway, She
    looked first up the road and then down it,
    andthen she looked directly before her.
    Of course, T could but judgo trom the
    movement of her head, as t was now be-
    hind her. but whatever she looked at, she
    snained but fora moment and the re-

    As we neared the hotel I perceived a

    end the driver now began to show
    symptoms of a moye. Ile lilted the long-
    handled whip which he had leaned against
    the seat and went to look out ot the door
    likewise, and then he returned to the bar,
    and called for anobbler of spirits. ‘Tossing
    it off al a mouthful, as it were, he appear-
    ed to haye reached some determination, for
    us soon as he had swallowed it, he walked
    outside, und commenced rapidly to unyoke
    his Dullocks, There was a veranda in
    front of the public house, and, finishing
    my glass, Istroled out, with my hands
    in my pockets, to watch my friend the
    driver inhis arrangements,

    ‘* They are a fine team, mate,” I obsezy-
    ed, ‘and in good condition. I wouldn't
    care it I had such another. Ilorses are no
    good in rough bush land where mine lies,
    You're going to camp here to-night?”
    “Yes” he answered, quietly. “I did
    think of pushing on to Cole’s Creek, but
    it's later that I thought; and the day’s been
    so terrible hot the cattle’s regular baked.”
    “I think youre right. ‘There’s plenty of
    feed here and water, too, I think,” and I
    moved inside fo order supper,

    ‘tT your Wirk KNow your Cmcum-
    STANCES.—lIv is a custom too common with
    the men of the world to keep their families
    in utter ignorance of the situation of their
    business. The wife knows nothing—has
    not even an idea—of the amount otf her
    husband's fortune, whether it is to be
    counted by hundreds or thousands. What
    can a woman, kept in such ignorance,
    learn? She spends, as a matter of course,
    all he give? her to spena, with a full confi-
    dence that when that is gone, and she asks
    for it, he will give her more. If an un-
    married woman works, she may go with a
    bold, unblushing face, and demand her
    wages; but a wife can demand nothing;
    her cluim is only for bare necessity; and
    generous men, on that account, are often
    too indulgent—too fearful of letting a wife
    know the exact state of their fortune. ‘Tis
    all wrong. Husband and wife have a mu-
    tual interest; every wife should know the
    exact state of her husband's finanees, un-
    derstand his plans, and aid him, it possible,
    with her counsels, and then these terrible
    extastrophes would not so often happen.
    Many a wile who is plunging her husband
    leeper and deeper into debt from ignor-
    ance, would, it she knew his embarrass-
    ments, be the first to retrench, the first to
    save, and with truce womanly sympathy
    and generosity, help him to reinstate his
    falling fortunes,

    A good illustration of what manulactures

    flourishing town of Canton, Ohio, where

    was the dullest and least progressive town

    Our Heavy Taxrs—Wia tin Prorin
    BEAR THEM.—The people of the United
    States are more heavily taxed than any
    ther people in the world. Even in Eng-
    Iand, where there is a stupendousnational
    debt and one Jarger than ours, and where
    there is 8 costilo system of royal govern-
    ment to support, the taxes are are net so
    great or burdensome. We speak only of
    national taxation. But if we take into
    account our local taxes, in addition to those
    imposed by the federal government, to our
    State, county and municipal taxes, the bur-
    don is enormous beyond anything known or
    borne heretofore, The patient submission
    of the Amorican people is surprising, Ne
    other peoplo having the same liberty and
    suffrage and tree election of those whp
    make the laws and govern the covntry
    would submit to such overwhelming ang
    unnecessary taxation. But will the Am-
    ocrigan people continue to bear it? We
    think not, for to do so would be contrary
    to all experience and to human nature.
    One of two things must happen; either
    the taxes must be grately reduced oy
    repudiation in some form or other will be
    resurted to lor reliel.—N. Y. Herald.

    A French paper gives the following re-
    ccipt: In order to make an Ophelia bonnet,
    go into the garden or to a Flourist’s. ‘Take
    ten or fifteen roses or other flowers, work
    them into a wreath, which place around
    your head, and that crown is the bonnet,
    in place of flowers you may take fruit,
    but if you determine on strawberries, be
    rearefut not to have them too ripe.
