GROWLER 'S INCOME TAX.
BY T. S. ARTEItilt
My neighbor Growler, an. excitable
man by the way, was particularly ex
cited over his "Income Tax," or, as lie
called it, his "War Tax." Ile had
never liked the war—thought it unne
cessary and wicked ; thb work.of po
liticians. The fighting of brother
against brother was a terrible thing in
his eyes. If you asked him who be
gan the war?—who struck at the na
tion's life ?—if self defence were not a
duty—he would reply with vague gen
eralities, made up of partisan tricky
sentences, which he had learned with
out comprehending their just signift-
calico.
Growler• came in upon me the other
day, flourishing a square piece of blue
writing paper,..quite moved from his
equanimity.
"There it is! Just so much robbe
ry! Stand and deliver, is the word.
Pistols and bayonets ! Your money
or your life !"
I took the piece of paper from his
hand and read :
"PHILADELPHIA, Sqptember, 1863.
"RICHARD GROWLER, Esq.,
"Dr. to John M.
"Collector of Internal Revenue for
the Fourth District of Pennsylvania.
Office 427 Chestnut Street.
"For Tax on Income, for the
year 1862, as per return made
to the Assessor of District, $l3 21
"Received payment,
"Jon"; M. RILEY, Collector."
"You're all right," I said, smiling.
"I'd like to know what you moan
by all right !" Growler was just a lit
tle offended at my wily of treating this
very serious matter—serious in his
eyes, I mean. "Pro been robbed of
forty-three dollars and twenty•one
cents," he continued. "Do you say
that is all right ? A minion of the
Government has put his hand in to my
pocket and taken out just so much• of
my property. Is that all right?"
"The same thing may be set forth
in very different language," I replied.
"Let me state the ease."
"Very well—state it!" said Growler,
dumping himself into a chair, and look
ing as ill-humored as possible:
"Instead of being robbed," said I,
you have been protected in your pro
perty and person, and guaranteed all
the high privileges of citizenship, for
the paltry sum of forty-three dollars
and twenty-one cents as your share of
the cost of protection."
"Oh, that's only your way of put
ting tho ease," retorted Growler, drop
ping a little from his high tone of in
dignation.
"Let me be more particular in my
way of putting the case. Your income
is from the rent of property ?"
"Yes."
"'What would it have cost you to de
fend that property from the army of
Gen. Leo, recently driven from our
State by national soldiers ?"
"Cost me!" Growler looked at me
in a kind r f maze, as though he thought
me half in jest.
"Exactly! What would it have cost
you ? Leo, if unopposed, would cer
tainly have reached this city, and held
it ; and if your property had been of
use to him, or any of his officers or
soldiers, it would have been appropria
ted without as much as saying: By
your leave, sir? Would forty-three
dollars and twenty-ono cents have cov
ered the damages ? Perhaps not.—
Possibly, you might have lost from
one-half to two-thirds of all you are
worth."
Growler was a trifle bewildered at
this way of putting the case. He look
ed puzzled.
"You have a store on south wharves"
said I.
"y ea! ,
"What has kept the Alabama or the
Florida from running up the Delaware
and burning the whole city front? Do
you have forts and ships of war for
the protection of your property ? If
not, who provides them ? They aro
provided and you are safe. What is
your share of the expense for a whole
year? Just forty-three dollars .and
twenty-one cents ! It sounds like a
jest !"
Growler did not answer. So I kept
on.
"But fur our immense armies in the
field, and navy on the water, this re
bellion would have succeeded. What
then? have you ever pondered the
future of thin country in such an overt?
Have you thought of your own posi
tion 7 of tho loss or gain to yourself'?
low, long do you think we could be at
peade with England or France, if the
nation were dismembered, and a hos
tile Confederation ebtablished on our
Southern border? Would our war
taxes be less than now ? Would life
and property be more secure Have
you not an interest in our great army
and navy, as well as' and every oth•
er member of the Union ? Does not
your safety as well as mine lie in their
existence? Aro they not, at this very
time, the conservators of everything
we hold dear as men and citizens 1—
Who equips and pays this army ?
Who builds and furnishes these ships 7
Where does the enormous sums of
money required come from ? It is the
nation's work—the people aggravated
into power and munificence, and so
irresistible in might—unconquerable.,
Have you no heart swellings of pride
in this magnificent exhibition of will
and strength 7 No part in the nation's
glory ? No eager helping hand to
stretch forth T
Growler• was silent still.
"There was no power in you or me,
to check the wave of destruction that
was launched by patricidal hands
against us. If unresisted, by the na
tion, as an aggregate power, it would
have swipt in desolation over the
whole land. Traitors in our midst,
and traitors moving in arms against
us, would have united to destroy our
beautiful fabric of civil liberty. The
government, which dealt with all good
citizens so kindly and gently, that not
one in a thousand felt its touch beyond
the weight of n feather, would have
been subverted; and who can tell un
der what iron rule wo might have fal
len for a time, or how many years of
bloody strife would have elapsed, before
that civil liberty which ensures the
greatest good to the greatest number
would have been again established?—
But the wave of destruction was met,
nay, hurled back upon the enemies who
sought our ruin. We yet dwell in safe
ty. Your property is secure. You
still gather your annual income, pro
tected in all your rights and privileges
by the national arm. And what does
the nation assess to you us your Sint Pe
in the cost of this security ? Half
your property I No, not a farthing of
that property 1 Only a small percent
age of your income from that proper
ty. Just forty-thrie dollars and taw*
one cents ! ! Pardon me for saying it,
friend Growler, but I um more than
half ashamed of you!"
"And seeing the way you put the
case, I am more than half ashamed of
myself," ho answered fankly. "Why,
taking your 'view, this is about the
cheapest investment I ever made."
"You certainly get more for your
money than in any other line of expen
diture. Yesterday I had a letter from
an old friend living in the neighbor
hood of Carlisle. The rebels took from
him six fine horses, worth two hood.
red dollars a piece ; six cows and oxen;
and over two hundred bushelaof grain.
And not content with plundering him,
they burnt down a barn, which had
cost him nearly two thousand dollars.
But for the army raised and equipped
by the nation, in support of which you
and I are taxed so lightly, we might
have suffered as severely. How much
do you think it cost in money for the
protection we have enjoyed in this
particular instance 1"
"A million of dollars, perhaps?"
"Nearer ten millions of dollars.—
From the time our army left the Rap
pahannock, until the battle of Getty&
burg, its cost to the Government could
scarcely have been less than the sum
I have mentioned. Of this sum your
proportion cannot be over three or four
dollars; and for that trifle, your prop.
orty, may be your life, was held secure.
"No more of that if you please,"
said Growler, showing some annoy
ance. "You are running this thing
into the ground. I own up, square.—
I was quarreling with my best friend.
I was striking at the hand that gave
me protection. If my war tax next
year should be a hundred dollars in
stead of forty-three, I will pay it with.

"Don't say without a murmur, friend
Growler."
"What then ?"
"Say gladly, as it means of safety."
"Put it as you will," he answered,
foldirg up Collector Riley's receipt . ,
which ho still held in his hand, and
bowing himself out.
...Not many days afterwards I hap
pened to hear some one grumbling in
my neighbor's presence about his in•
come tax. Growler waited .to hear
him through. Idy lesson was improv
ed in his hands. In signitleant phrase
ho "pitched into" the offender, and
read him a lecture so much stronger
than mine, that I felt myself thrown
quite into the shade.
"Yon have been assessed fifty-eight
dollars," ho said, in his excited way—
"fifty-eight dollars? Ono would think
from the noise you make about it, that
you had been robbed of half you were

Already k has cost the nation for
your safety and mine over a thousand
millions of dollars; and you are angry
because it asks for your little share of
the expense—Sir, you' are not worthy
the name of an American citizen I"
"That's hard talk, Growler, and I
wont bear it !" said the other.
_ "It's true .talk, and you'll have to
hear it!" was retorted: "Fretting over
the mean little sum oft fifty.oight dol
lars! Why, sir, I know a man who
has given his right arm in this cause;
and another who luts given his right

yourself in the eyes of all men. A

I turned off, saying in my thought :

Memory of the Dead Heroes of the
- War.
The following happy remembrance
of those who have died for their coun
try, during • the war, is from the
Thanksgiving discourse of Henry
Ward Beecher,. delivered before his
people in Brooklyn :
Let tie pause upon the threshold of
our discourse to pay a tribute to our
heroes. On either side 1)118 been man
ifested the noblest courage, and pa
tience, and endurance. Ten thousand
youths have dropped the blossom of
their lives. Alas ? that for so many
it should be a death, utterly dead
More and more will yours reveal that
young Southern heroes died for an e
vil cause. Would Ilia, so"' much bra
very bad bad a better cause. Time
will bring no venerableness and no
affection to defeated tyranny. Men's
enthusiasms never, go baCkwards to
search for the deeds of oppressors, to
garland them with evergreen honor.
They die , indeed, who die for slavery.
And lapse of years, and growing jus
tice, and nobler humanitiel, Will only
make the mistake more dreadful; and
their oblivion mote certain. It is in
deed a sad future for those who mourn
for souls slain under the dark banner
of slavery. No futute historian 'will
feel sacred enthusiasm in recovering
their names.. No rejoicing millions
will teach their children to lisp their
names with gladness. Tho best that
can be done for them by patriotism, is
to draw a wail Over their life, and to
let them bo forgotten. Over their bu
rial-ground the hand of charity can
write only this: Let their names and
their mistakes be forgotten.
But how bright are the honors which
await those who with sacred fortitude
.and patriotic patience have endured
all things that they might save.their
native land from division and from
the power of corruption ! The hon
ored dead! They that" die for the
good cause are redeemed from death.
Their names aro gathered and garner
ed. Their memory is precious. Each
place grows proud for them who were
born there. There is to be, ore long,
in every village and in every neighbor
hood, a glowing pride in its martyred
heroes. Tablets shall preserve their
names. Pious love shall renew their
inscriptions as time and the unfeeling
elements decay them. And the na
tional festivals shall give multitudes
of precious names to the orator's lips.
Children shall grow up under more sa
cred inspirations whose elder brothers
dying nobly for their country, left a
name that honored and inspired all
who bore it. Orphan children shall
find thousands of fathers and mothers
to love and help those whom dying
heroes loft as a legacy to the gratitude
of the public.
Oh, tell mo not that they are dead,
tha , ; generous host, that airy army of
invisible heroes! They hover as
cloud of witnesses above this nation.
Aro they dead that yet speak louder
than we can speak. and a more uni
versal language? Aro they dead that
yet act? Are they dead that yet move
upon society, and inspire the people
with nobler motives and more heroic
patriotism?
Ye that mourn, let gladness mingle
with your tears. It was your son ;
but now he is the nation's. He made
your household bright; now his exam
ple inspires a thousand households.—
Dear to his brothers and sisters, he is
now brother to every generous youth
in the land. Before, he was narrowed,

appropriated, shut up to you. Now,
he is augmented, set free, and given
to all. Before, he was yours; he is
ourti. lie has died from the family,
that he might live to the nation. Not
one name shall be forgotten or neglec
ted : and it shall . by and by be con
fesSed, as of an ancient hero of modern
times, that he did more for his coun
try by ,his death than by his whole life.
Neither are they less honored who
shall bear through life the merits of
wounds and sufferings. Neither ep
eulette nor badge is so honorable as
wounds received in a good cause. Ma
ny a man Shall envy him who hence
forth limps. So strange is the trans
formation power of patriotic ardor, that
men shall almost covet disfigurement.
Crowds will give way to the hobbling
cripples, and uncover in the presence
of feebleness and helplessness. And
buoyant children shall pease in their
noisy games, and, with loving rever
ence honor them whose halide can
work no more, and whose feet are no
longer able to march . except upon that
journey which brings good men to
honor and immortality. 06, mothers
of lost children ! set not in darkness
nor sorrow whom a nation honors.—
Oh, mourners of the early dead I they
shall live again, and, live forever.—
Your sorrows are our gladness. The
nation lives because you give it men
that love it better than their own lives.
And when a few more, days shall have
I cleared the perils from around the na
Lion's brow, and she shall sit in unsul
lied garments of liberty, with justice
upon her lips, she shall not forget
I those whose blood gave vital currents
to her heart, and whose life, given to
her, shall live with her life till time
shall be no moi e.
Every mountain mid hill shall have
treasured name, every river shall keep
some solemn title, every valley and
every lake shall cherish its honored
.register; and till the mountains are
worn out and the rivers forget to flow
till the clouds are weary of replenish
ing springs, and the springs forgot to
gush, and the rills to sing, shall their
names be kept fresh with 'reverent
honors which aro inscribed upon thEi
hook of National Remembrance!
The Horse in the Stable.
The horse, valuable as he is at all
times, is especially worthy of care,
now when his price is so enhanced by
the circumstances of the times. Many
at all times; except when doing . their
work,and all at this season of the year
are confined to the stable. Stable man
agement is therefore of very great im
portance, and the health and durability
of this noble animal is very dependent
upon it.
The first point to be insisted on is a
clean and well ventilated stable. It
should be so constructed as to have a
wide passage-way or floor in front of
the horses to feed from. Above the
manger a space should be left, a foot
or two in width, clear, and the passage.
way shOuld be the avenue for the sup
ply of fresh air to the. nostrils of the
horse.
The most perfect feeding arrange
ment we ever saw was a cast iron box
so arranged as, by the removal of a
bolt, to swing out into the passage.
way, where it could be cleaned and
fresh food supplied without the slight.
est interference from the horse. Such
a box has the advantage, too, of resis
ting all attempts at crib biting.
The stable should be cleaned out . at
least twice a day, and the floor sprin•
kled with a little gypsum. The im
portance of cleanliness to the health of
the horse cannot be over estimated.
We heartily wish, however, that the
almost universal practice of tying up
horses in stalls should be dispensed
with. A little liberality in stable
room, which would allow each horse a
box in which he might freely turn him
self around, and dispensing altogether
with the halter, would add greatly to
his comfort and health. If this box
were kept well littered there would be
no necessity for frequent cleaning out.
The droppings might be allowed to ac
cumulate for a week or more, with sa
ving to the manure heap and no less to
the animal.
Tho feeding of a stable horse should
be very regular; he is worried and
fretted by passing over the accustom
ed time. When a change of feed is
necessary, it should bo done with great
care, giving a small allowance at first,
till the stomach becomes used to the
change.
He must bo cleaned, and well clean
ed, every day. A good curry-comb
and brush, and an oiled woolen cloth
are the utensils necessary. First take
the curry-comb and begin at the top of
the neck, back of the cars, working the
hand both ways; proceed in this way
till you have gone over the entire body
and logs, then take both comb and
brush, and ever• other stroke drew•

to clean it. An experienced grood
will do this' instantly. This done, take
your cloth and lay the cent, and re
move the dust which adheres to the
outside. The face and earn must also
feel the brush.
Few persons know how to clean a
horse properly and fewer still do it.—
If the above directions are daily fol
lowed, they usually enjoy good health.
Daily exercise is absolutely necessary
to stabled horses. If the feet of horses
are brittle, anti liable• to break and
crack, they must be well oiled once a
week. A horse thus treated will al
ways be ready to go when wanted and

Diphtheria—A Sure Cure of this Ter
rible Disorder.
[Prom the Masouri Democrat.]
Please publish the following treat
ment of diphtheria. It has been used
by myself, and others to whom I have
given it, in over one thomiand eases,
without a failure. It will always
cure, if the treatment is commenced
before the diphtheria membrane ex
tends into the air tubes, which is
known by the great difficulty of breath
ing and restlessness. In such cases, no
remedy yet discovered will always ef
fect a cure; but if the patient is watch
ed, and the treatment used in time,
there is no danger.
I sent this treatment to a friend of
mine in Wisconsin, and he used it on
himself and family, end neighbors,
with such wonderful success that he
requested me to send it to you for
publication, as this horrible disease is
prevailing extensively in parts of Mis

IDIMITUERTA WASH'
Golden seal, pulverised, 1 drachm
Boras, 1 "
Black pepper,
Alum, If 1 "
Nitrate potash, 44
Salt, 2 • it
Put all into a common-sized teacup
or vessel which holds about four oun
ces, and pour half full of bOiling water,
stir well, and then fill full of good yin
e,gar. Fit for use when it settles.—
Make a swab by getting a little stick
about the size of a pipostem, notch one
end, and wrap a string of cotton cloth
around it, letting the cloth project a
bout half an inch beyond the end of
the stick, so as not to jag the mouth
and throat, and fasten with a threat!.
Swab the mouth and throat well ev
ery half hour if the case is bad, every
hour if not bad. When the patient
gets better, every two hours; then
when better, every four hours; and
when still better, two or three times a
day, till well, which will be from two
to seven days. Touch every affected
spot, the uvula, tonsils, and fences, the
whole of the hack part of the mouth
and top of the throat; and let the pa
tient swallow a little of the wash each
time you swab. Swabbing causes no
pain, though the patient will gag, and
sometimes vomit; but swab well, and
a feeling of relief will follow every
swabbing.
Let every patient have a separate
swab and wash, as the disease is un
doubtedly infections. Keepthe wash
pu-e by pouring what you can use,
each time, into another vessel., and al
so wipe off any matter or slime that
may be on the swab, every time you
take it from the mouth.
Rub the following liniment on the
throat, outside, once every three or
four hours, and keep a flannel cloth
round the neck till well:
Take spirits turpentine, ono ounce.
Take sweet oil, (or linseed oil,) one
ounce. Take aqua ammonia, (mix,)
one ounce. Shake before using each
time. Keep the bowels regular with
castor oil.
Keep the patient in the house, but
ventilate well. The diphtheria wash
and liniment will bo found . sufficient
for all cases, if taken in tine; and
should you mistake any other "sore
throat" for diphtheria. you will effect
a cure almost invariably, as I use
this for all common sore throats. I
have never lost a case, and many have
told me that no money would induce
them, in these "diphtheria times," to
be without the wash and liniment;
and when a soreness in the throat is
felt, it is used, and a cure is always ef
fected.

A VALUABLE BooK.—The material
from which the future history of the
war for the Union is to be written, is
accumulating abundantly, and there
has been no more valuable contribu
tion to it than the" Annals of the ar
my of. the Cumberland,".just publish
ed by Messrs J. D. Lippincott & CO. It
contains a full account of Gener
al Roseeran's campaign down to the
advance toward Chatanooga. with des
criptions of all the battles, skirmishes
and expeditions, biographies and por
traits of all the principal generals and
the officers of their stalls, and much
other interesting matter. We find that,
there are no less than 73 portraits
of officers, engraved on steel, besides
other fine illustrations. The volume
is a large octavo of 671 pages, superb
ly printed and richly bound. Its au
thor is an officer of Boseeran's army,
but his name is not given. He has
done.his work well and produced a
most interesting and valuable' hook.
Since it was written, a number of thou+
whose lives ho has given, have proved
their heroism anew on thebloody field
of Chichamauga. Every One who bad
relatives pr friends that were in that
and the other battles of the Army of
the: Cumberland, should procure a co
py of this really elegant and valuable
work.
