Having (lemonstia'ed to ynu hoiv Aho
litionisui taxes the neci'SMiries which we
I consume, l niiaii in tno next piano in
form you how we ore taxed on that which
we sell.
Some kind.i of northern produce, be
cause deprived of the southern markets,
do not rule us high ns they did two years
ago. llutlei is one of the articles t litis nfs
fecled. During the year IStiO, wo sold
12.") pounds of butter ; averaging IS cents
per pound, nr.d amounting to $7(1 50;
while last yenr wn averaged only 12 cents
per pound, entailing a loss of $2"i 50.
Now, presuming that the average price
will h;i 'ihout the same this year, our lo-s
on butler W'ould eipiiil uil additional tax
of2." 50. Addirii! these to the lax ot'J.'IO,
.'JO upon Dry tiuods and Groceries amounts
to S.')5 Ml.
Now lor another item labor. The
least amount I earned in any year during
the hist decadu (prior to ISM J was as
on will find in this hook S212 01) in
1S57. Last year thanks to Abolition
ism !- my earnings amounted to Si III 00.
What they will be the coming season I
cannot tell. l'iospe!!s not being any
hi iglitcr mv.r than they were si t monllis
ago, 1 fear I slmli ag iin he obliged to sub
mit to a lax r.f S'J I H on I dior. Add to
these ihe."5S0 (on Dry Goods and Groce
ries) and we Inw lie? snug little sum of
fdl'Jt-'l.
'One hundred and forty-nine dollars
and eighty cents!' ejaculates Awl.
Ye this amount, large as ii is for n
man in humble circumstances', would be
by no means the whole of the burden lin
posc.l upon us by abo'.itionism. In addi
tion lo the articles enumerated, wc m ed
cloth, cassimeres. vesting-, shawls, blank
ets, etc , all of which me smartly taxed.
Assuming that in former yours weexpend
ed about f 50 00 annually for goods of thai
desciiption; we may safely suppose that,
urder tho new tarill regulations, the name,
quantity and quality of those goods would
swell the amount bv $20 00. These ad
ded to ?140 80 would equal SIO'.l Ml.
Nor does taxation stop here ; for, sinco
'w e have got a government,' it is but reus
omihle that it .si ouhl call upon us to con
tribute in its pupport. l.'uehi Sam or
ratlifr I'nclo Abe will need, it is said,
$200,(K)f,O00 to grease tho wheels ofcov
ernment. These must he raised by luxa
tion. What my share of t his tax will be I
am not prepared to say, but may consider
mvself fortunate if I escape by pajiug
oo.
Adding thei-o to tho above $liiO SO u
mounts to Sl'J'J SO. To wind up, Stale and
County will put upon me to the amount of
$0 00 or flo tin. Thosi mhUd to the
above Sl'J'J SO gives us , grand total of
S2H0S0! Just think of it, Sam ! A poor
man, who follows a trade and lives on a
small lot of twenty-eight ncrcs taxed
SJOil SO!'
'Outrageous! culiageousl exclaimed
Aw l. 'Had you not lepresented the mat
ter ns clearly as you did, 1 should never
have believed it. 1209 SU! why 'tis out
rageous! I plainly see tho propriety of
economy now. Not nnother pound of
coffee or sugar will 1 huy we skill have
taxes enough to pay without taxing our
selves. J20'J SO! monstrous! monstrous!'

LOXQ-FACED PiETY. I
I have 8"on a do n- in in tho prido ol
lliu deep humility. Ho combed his hair
straight., and looked studiously ul'ier the
main chance ; nml while ho looked he
emploved himself in setting a good exam
ple. 11 is dress win i igidly plain, and his
wife was cot indulged in the vanities of
niilli.iery and mant iai making. Ho never
joked. Ho did not know what a joke
win, any further thnn to know that it was
a sin. Mo carried a Sunday face through
the week. He did not mingle in the hap
py social parties of the neighborhood. He
was a dencon. He starved his social na
ture because ho wn ft deacon. Ho refrain
ed from pai ticipat'on in a free ami gennr
ous lite because he wns a deacon IIo mndo
his children hate Sunday hecauso he wns
a deacon. He so brought them up thai
they learned to consider themselves um
fortunate in being the children of a den
eon. They wore pitied hy other children
because they were the children of a dea
con. His wife was pitied by other women
hecauso she was the wife of a deacon.
Nobody loved him. Ifhocamo into a
circle where men were laughing or rehvt ing
stories, they alwayn stopped until he lull.
No one ever granped his hand cordially, or
slapped him on tho shoulder, or spoke of
him ns a good fellow. He seemed us dry
and hard mid tough as a picoe of jerked
beef. There was no softness of character
no juiciness no loveliness hi him.
Now, it is no use for me to tindetiake
to reali.oto myself that God admires nue.li
a character us this. 1 do not doubt that
ID.' loves such a Hinn as this, as He love
all men ; hut to admire his style of man
hood mid piety is impossible for any intel
ligent being. It hn-ks tho roundness and
sweetness, tii.it belong to a truly admira
ble character. Such a man caricatures
f'iitisti inily, and sc. ires other nun away
from it. Such a mm ostentatiously pre
sents himself as one in wheso lif-i religi ui
Is dominant. It is religion that is suppos
ed to rub down iliat long f. ce, ami in
spire that stiff demeanor, and to make him
every point an unattractive and unlovable
man. Uf course, it is nut religion that
does anything of the kind, but has tho
credit of it with the world, and th, world
does not l.ke it. It looks around and seoa
n gn-at many men who do not pretend to
religion at all, and yet who are very lova
ble men. If religion can transform a
pleasant man into a most unpleasant one,
and change a free, biilit and happy home
into a dismal place of 'slavery, and blot
out n man's ifthetic and .ocial nature, tho
world nstuially think? that getting relig
ion would ha almost as much of a misfor
tune as getting some melancholy, chronic
disease, mid 1 do not blame it. It is not
to be wnr.derod at, that the world should
mistake the true nature of Chiintianity,
when Christians Ihemselvvi entertain such
gi ievous errors about it.
I suppose God is nt traded to very much
tl e. same style of character that men are.
Christ loved a young man at first sight,
w ho lackvd Uie very thing essential to his
highest manhood. Hut Ho loved the.
kind of man He saw before Him. He was
upright, frar.k-hearted, open minded, and
bright; and ".'o-us beheld him, loved
him." There are men whom one cannot
help loving and admiring though they
lack a great many thing- -things very
"needful" to make them perfect men. ,
Now, I put it to good, oansiieiifious men
and women, whetln'i- they do not take
more pleasure in the soc-ety of a warm
hearted, goiieron---, chivahous, well-led
man ol the world, than in ihe society of
at. v of that class of aIioiu the dencou 1
! have mentioned is a type. I know they
do, and they cannot help it.
t here is more of that w hich belongs to
i a first class Christi; n character in the
' former thnn in the Litter, u ml if 1 were
! called upon to test the two men by com
manding them to sell what Ihey have and
give to the poor, I should be disappointed
were the deacon to behave the best. A
character which religion does not ftuotify
doef not soften, enlarge, beautify, and
enrich is not penelilted by religion-or,
rather, ha not po'sqed itself of religion.
God loves that which in beaulilul and at- j
tractive in character, just as much as wo
do, and it makes no difference where he ,
sees it. He does not dislike the amii hie
traits of a sinner because he is a sinner.,
nor does he admire those traits of it Chris-;
lian which we feel to ho contemptible.nnd ;
simply becaii'O they belong to a Christian, j
A Christian sucked dry of his humanity
is ns juieeless nnd us flavorless as a sucked
orange, anl I believe God regards him in i
tho same light that we do. lie will save!
such 1 doubt not, for their faith ; and, in
thecoming woild, Ihey will learn what:
they do not know here; but the question
whether they nre ns well worth iaving as ,
some of their neighbors may, 1 think, he
legitimately entertained. In saying thi,
I mean to be neither light nor irreverent.
I mean simply to indicate tint some men
nre worth a great deal more to themselves
and lo their fellows than others. Tun-

OUR DAUGHTERS.
The greatest danger to rur daughters in
the present time is the neglect of domes
tic education. Not only to themselves,
but I j husbands, families nnd tho commu
nity at large, does the evil extend. Hy Cur
the greatest amount of happiness in civil
ized li fa is found in demeuic relations, and
most of those depend on the domestic
culture ami habits of the wife and mother.
Let our diiutrhtei8 he intellectually edu
cated ns highly us possible ; let their mor
ul and social natuio receive the highest
graces of v gor and refinement; but along
with these, let Ihe domestic virtues find a
prominent place.
Wo cannot say much nbout our daugh
ters being hereafter wives nnd mother.',
but wo ought to think much of it, and
give the thought prominence, for thwir
education. Good wives they cannot be, nt
least lor men nf intelligence, without culs
tore; go d mothers thny certainly cannot
bo without it ; aril more than this, they
cannot ho such wives as men t.eed unless
they are good housekeepers, without a
Ihoiough nnd practical training to that
end. Our daughters should be practically
taught to hake, wash, sweep, cook, set ta
ble and do everything appertaining to the
order, neatness, economy and happiness
of the household. AH this they can leafi
as well i s not, and heller than not. It
need not interf'oie in the least with their
intellectual education, nor with tho high
est degroo of refinement- On the contra
ry it would gre illy contribute thereto.
Only let thai timo which is worse than
wasted in idl mioss, sauntering and gossip,
frivolous teudiug, nnd various modern fe
male dissipations which kill time and
health, bo devoted to domestic duties nnd
education, and our daughters would so in
be all that the highest interests of society
demav.d. A benign, elevating infLienco
would go foilii tlircimh nil tho families in
the laud. Health nnd happiness would
now sparkle in many a lustrous eye, the
bloom would sjon return to beautify mnnv
a faded cheek, nnd doctor's fills .vonld
give way to bills of wholesomo fare. .lr

HiRRV.sviLi.i;, Va., March , '02.
I, ar Fixcndi : -I t my Pp" to let you
know tint wo havo moved still further into
Dixie, nnd ant now 13 miles east of Win
chester. Hut I will go back khiI rotor to
somoofthe past. On l'ridiy tho 2lst of
March. 1802, we wero ordered out ns pick
ets. About sundown wo were attacked
by Ashby's cavalry tmd driven bxck,
About tho fanio time 'ho rebels common
cod cannonading us, when two regiments,
were ordered to make a churgo, which
they did, bravely driving the enemy b?ck
about a mile; at the some, time our regi
ment (the 84th) w is ordered to gunrd our
battel i is. About daik both si-ios stopped,
nnd nil was quiet till morning.
It being .Sabbath morning, we dared not
commenco, so our boys had to wait until
about V A. M., when the bull was opened
by tho rebels commencing to cannonado
us, rvhioh thov continued until 3 P. M.
The infantrv' began the charge, and from
that until dark the bittle was very hotly
contested on both aides. About this time.
the rebels gave way nnd were soon scat.
Uered in evorv direction. Company I was
j relieved at j o'clock in the morning to
I join our regiment on the Slrasburg turn
j pike, but when we got there we could not
i find our regiment, so we went lack to our
old camp and got our dinners. W e after
wards went out to the battle field, but did
not roach it in time lo go into the engage
ment, and wore ordered to gather up tho
killed and wounded. This was nn awful
sigh',. Some were shot through their legs,
arms, shoulders, bowels, 4 o., and all cry
,ng for help, and some just breathing their
last.
The hardest part of the fight was just
before we reached ihe ground. Three of
our company wore in tho fight, Thomas
Gouldsberrv, Joseph Kepetu and Philip
McCracken". Had we found our regiment
we would have been all in it, and if we
had there would have been some of us laid
out cold, as the 84th suffered the severest
of uny of the regiments engaged in propor
tion to its number, for it is a small regi
ment, nnd has as many killed as tho lar-
'gest. There were some eight or ten regu
I ments engaged on ou- side, nnd some say
'as high ns fifteen on the side of the rebels,
j There are S8 killed and ivouuded in the
,84th. About 20 of theso were shot dead
on the field, and two or three have since
I died. Hut you will get the official report
I in tho papers. There are a large number
of Clearfield boys in this regiment
I 1 believe I have given you ull the par.
ticulars of th's flhl, suvo that Gen. Hanks
is still following Jackson, and has driven
him nbout 25 miles from Winchester to
, wards Staunton, where it w supposed that
Jackson ar.d Johnston will give battle.
Mm if lenorls me correct liu-y will not
'stand long, for their army is completely
demoralized -ivorse used up than ours
was nt tho battle of Hull Run.
j We have got word that our regiment fe
: to bo tilled up, and a new Col Jiml appciu'
ted for it, us our Lieutenant ''ulotu-ldo
dines taking t be uom.io.nnd.
' ' iSa.'-f'o 2iW. Hon. Judge Barrett paid
us a visit'ye-tctdav. llo is appointed by
Gov. Curt in to take charge of the bodies
of the killed, and to see that the wounded
4ii-o properly caved for. Tho wounded aro
at Winchester, in caio cf the Surgeons.
Ti'e are told that we will rcmnia at this
place until our regiment is recruited up to
its full standard ol one thousand and tcu
men, ran!: nnd tile.
I It is not likely that we will get iuto au
olhor fight soon, unless the enemy makes
! the attack, for they are driven off so far
1 that wo can't get to them, and our army
! is so large that there wauld no! be more
than a shot apiece if we should reach
them. We are also told that Gon. Shields
I wants to lead our rcuiinent personally, as
it has aol a good name, and on-s that will
not soon be forgotten. Sunday the 23d
March, 1MV2, will b.i a day long to be re

white oiik tree about 2 feet thick. Ami
a here the infantry tired the thickest from
our side, and where tho rebels lay tho
thickest, the small trees nnd grubs nre just
riddled with musket bullets about ns high
ns a man's head. Where the 8 lib fited it
can be seen tbut it took the best aim o'
nny of tho regiments I saw suppling! 4
inches thick that were cut clean off, nnd
others split for two teed. On this spot the
rebels lay just like stuck hogs wallow
ing in their blood. SI of them werefouwi
on a tiifce of cround uliout 4 rods wide.
and 30 rods lonij. Our men dug a trench
