Tells the Story 0f his stopping his horse at a country auction where there was, as usual, a crowd. 0f idle farmers collected to purchase superfluities. TJie sale, not having begun, they amused themselves with complaints of the badness of the times and appealed to a venerable old man, who was present, as to whether their heavy taxes would not ruin their country, and ought not the government to remit them? "It is true," we repeat his own words, "that we are-taxed heavily on everything we wear and worjk' with and on much that we eat and drink, but there are heavier taxes than these which government cannot) takeoff. "We are taxed twice as much by our idleness, three times as much by our pride and four times as much by our folly or we should all be at our work in the fields, instead of loitering here to buy finery that we can't afford." This is good doctrine and is as applicable today as ever. Signed June i, 1021. Ojfamafc.
