The income tax imposed by the act of Congress is about to be assess ed, and becomes due and payable on or before the 30th of this month— June. All incomes not exceeding $6OO are exempt from the tax. The following article from an exchange will explain several important pro vision of the law. The income tax is imposed upon a certain proportion of the income of these two closes, vis: 1. Every person in the United States, and every citizen residing abroad - who is in the employment of the government of the United States. 2 Every citizen of the United States residing abroad, and not in the employment of the the govern ment.of the United Stat6s. • Every person in the first class will ho taxed at the rate of three per cent. when his or her annual gains, profits or income exceed $700", and 4310,000. Every person in the first class will be taxed at the rate of five per cent. when the annual gains, profits or in come exceed 4310 4 000, alter the follow ing deductions are made from the gross amounts returned : 1. The $6OO allowed by law. 2. Other national, States and local taxes assessed for 1862, and paid. 3. Rent annually paid for the dwell ing house or estate occupied as the residence of the person assessed. 4. Necessary repairs to property yielding the income, or insurance thereon; or pay for hired laborers, arid their subsistence, employed in conducting his business; or interest on incumbrances upon the propertyf or all, as the case may be. Every person in the second class will be taxed at the rate of five per cent , what ever may be his or her an nual gains, profits, or income from property-, securities, and stocks own ed in the United States, without eth er deduction than numbers 2 and 4 above stated. Whenever the taxable income of a resident in the United States, ascer tained us above, exceedsslo,ooo, and upon a portion of said amount three per . cent. bas been with held by the officers of companies, corporati9ns, and associations, from interest or dividends therein due him, such in- ' come will be subject to a tax of two per cent. additional upon so much •thereof as may have been previously subjected to a.duty of three percent. by the officers of the companies, cor porations or associations aforesaid But in no case, whether a person is subject to a tax of three or five per cent, is a higher rate of tax than 11 per cent. to be collected from that portion of income derived from inter. cst upon Notes ; Bonds, or other se curities of the United States Where a husband and wife live to gether, and their taxable income is in excess of $6OO. they will be entitled to but one deduction of WO that be ing the average fixed by law as an es timated collimation for the expense of Taintaininga family. Where they live apart., by divdrce or under con tract ofseparation, they will be taxed separately, and be each entitled to a deduction of $6OO 001180RIPTION.

FRIGHTENING OHILDREN. The following true story shows what comes of frightening children : A few years since I resided in Wales, at the entrance of a valley, opening into a beautiful bay, on each side of which rise high cliffs of limestone, covered with soft turf, on which the Welsh sheep feed, and climb . like goats. On the highest of these cliffs Stood a solitary cottage, over-look ing the wide expanse of sea; on which, "during every month in the year that has the letter R in it," the little oyster boats are seen out in great numbers. The poor mon dredge for these with heavy iron nets ; it is very laborious work; but as they can generally sell their oys. ters, they are glad to do it. You know the tide, on nearly all the coasts, ebbs and flows; and these lit tle boats go out with the tide, and they cannot return to land until it flows in again, and thus carries them ashore. In this cottage on the cliff lived one of those poor men, whose name was John Tovey, with his wife and sixteen children. Some of the elder ones had grown up, and were married, and had gone to live elsewhere ; some were out at ser vice; some worked in the potato fields; and the little ones were often left at home by themselves. The fern, which grows on the cliffs, the poor people cut and use in the winter for various purposes. There was a small rick of this fern standing a few yards from the house. The cottage was whitewashed, and had a thatch ed roof. When these children did anything that was naughty, or the mother was angry with them, she used to tell them that an ugly "Old Man" lived in the rick, and that if' they were not good, ho would "come and have them." So these poor ig norant children believed what their mother so often told them, and they wished very much that the frightful "Old Man" did not live there always. So, one day, when their mother was gone to market to sell her potatoes, and the father was out in his boat dredging for oysters, , there were three of these little children staying at borne by themselves; rid they talked about this horrid "Old Man" in the rick, and they thought that they would bisrit him out : So they set light to the rick, which was all in flames in a few minutes, and they went and sat down under a hedge at the edge of the cliff to wateti ; per haps they expected to see the "Old Man run out when he felt the fire— or else they hoped h.: would be quite burnt to death, and so never trouble them any more. The fire blazed very high, presently caught the cot tage also, and so it all burnt away together. Just then the father, who was off it his'boat, saw his house and all on fire, and ho knew that the little children wet.," there alone, and yet lie could not come to them till the tide turned, and for this he had to wait several hours. Oh, how very greatly distressed he must have been not to able to get home to see it' his poor children were burned ! So, late in the evening, the mother returned from market, and soon the father also, and found the house en tirely burnt down, and everything in it, all but the stone walls; and the poor little children still .sitting wader the hedge; so frightened that they did pot know - vhat to do.— They were obliged to go and beg some kind persons in the next village to take theta in that night. And I hope the parents learned a lesson, never again to tell their children what was untrue, and never to try to frighten children; for there •is nothing of which children need to be afraid, except of doing wrong. A few years ago a young man was brought before Mr. Hammitt, a Lon don magistrate, for kicking, and striking, and trying to choke an of ficer and a student. Poor young man, it was not his fault, for he did not know what ho was doing; he was mad. And how do you think he went mad ? His mother said ? "Sir, he is subject to fits of a dreadful character, and all because, when six years of age, he was put into a dark room as a punishment, shortly after which the tits came on and have 'be come worse. Our circumstances were once bright, but we have spent so much money in trying to cure him, that we are now quite poor,— The fits came-on every two hours, and then he is like u maniac." Mr Hammitt said, "This is a shocking result of frightening children."— You had better shows this to your parents and to your servants.— Young England. A Triple Peeress The famous Anne Clifford was the daughter of an Earl of Cumber land, and wife, first of Sackville, Earl of Dorset,and secondly of Phil lipp Earl of Pembroke and Montgomery, and, consequently, throughout a long final widowhood, was obliged by the rules of the Her. ,ald's College to divide her titles, as she had done her heart, between two dear, defunct husbands, by sign ing herself "An ae Pembroke, Dorset, and Montgomery," according to the peerage emotions of ber two lords --a clekso without parallel in the his -tog or rornaneo of the English peer age. THRILLING ADVENTURE WITH A BURGLAR. This extract from a reminiscence concerning a series of murders com mitted some years since in France, develops a rare instance of presence of mind in woman. 'We will premise that the murderer was known by the fact that in some previous brawl or scene of murder ho had lost three fingers from one of his hands. There lived on the outskirts of Dieppe a widow lady by the name of Beaumaurice. She had no family, but with one servant girl lived in a very retired manner. The cottage in which she resided was situated about half a mile from the city—a little off f'hom the public road. Madame Beaumaurice bad been the wife of an officer of the Guard. She was an extraordinary woman in ev ery particular, but especially so in respect to a certain coolness of char acter she posessed, in the midst of danger, which, together with a large amount of moral courage, made her a very notable pJrson. The recent murders made, perhaps, less impres- sion on her mind than upon any one else in Dieppe, although it was nat urally supposed the retired situation in which she lived would have caused ner to be more fearful. About 10 o'clock on the night of the 30th of April, just ten days after the murders in the Rue Grenard, Madame Beaumaurice went up into her bedroom. She was suffering from a nervous headache. She felt very sleepy, and seated herself. The lamp was placed cn a chest of draw ers, behind her. Opposite to her was a toilet table with a cloth on it reaching to the floor. She had al ready commenced taking off her clothes, when, happening to look around her, she , saw something that for a moment chilled her blood. It was the shadow of a man's hand on the floor. The hand had only three fingers. She divined the truth in a moment —the assassin was there—in her house—under the table. She made not the least motion or sign, but re flected two or three minutes as to the best course to be pursued. She divined what to do, and ad vancing to the door, called the ser vant maid. "Oh, Mary !" exclaimed she, when the girl entered the room, "do you know where Mons. Benard lives'."' . "Yes madame." "1 have to pay 5,000 francs away very early in the morning. You will have to run to his house and get the money for me." "Very well, madame," "I will write a, note, which you will deliver to him, and he will give you bunk bills to the amount." 3l►e wrote as follows "My Dear Monsieur Bernard . :— The assassin of the Ruendes Arnes and the Rue.Grenard is in my house. Como immediately with some gens darmes, and take him before he es capes. "ItELENNE BEAUMAURICE " And without entering into an ex planation with her servant, she dis patched her on her errand. She then quietly reseated herself and waited. Yes. she sat in the room with that man under the table fora whole hour. She sat there calm, cool and Collect ed. She saw the shadow of the hand shift several times, but the murderer did not make any attempt to escape from his place of concealment, In due time the gem sd'armes arriv ed, and Jacques Ileynauld was ar rested, not, however, without a vio. lent struggle. 1 need sZarcely add that the most convincing proof as to his guilt was found, and in due time he was guilo tined. NEWS FROM GARIBALDI. A late number of the Nurembery Correspondent contains a letter from Turin, stating that caravans of eighty-five Englishmen had anounc ed their desire to pay their respect to Gen. Garibaldi, at Caprera. The latter thanked them tor their sympa .thy, but expressed his regrets nut to be able to receive more than two delegates of the company, the state of bis health requiring repsoe. Since 1859, one hundred and fifty steamers landed on the island, which before was not visited by one of them, and more than sixteen thous and persons disembarked. Four Italian ships carry the name of Gar ibaldi. The General is godfather to, four thousand five hundred children, and two thousand boys are named after hie Durirg" the last three years he has received presents in value of fourteen thousa id or fifteen thousand francs, about $3,000,) in the shape of agricultural implement's, mostly from _England, and he bas re fused presents in value of more than a million of francs, ($200,000.) Garibaldi is an honorable citizen of ninety towns and boroughs, and honorary President of one hundred and twenty societies. Re possesses twen;.y-one swords of honor, of which eleven have been sent from foreign countries.

NEW SERIES.-VOL. 5, NO. 5• THE WASTE OF WAR. The Pension office at Washington Ise lately recorded the nineteenth thousandth application of wives made widows by this war between the Northern and Southern Rtates. 'Meta shockingproof is this of the aw ful work of war 1 Nineteen thousand wives made widows by these battlesiluring the last, twenty-four months! sad this number, frightful as it is, is far froth com pete, while it only represents mesa: in the fratricidal strife; there are at host. many more desolate homes in the South. The whole number of those who hay* been made widows by this sectional tain test certainly cannot 'm less than 150,000 It is an appalling thought; but this num ber falls far, far short of the actual lost of life that has been occasioned thus fits. Multiplication of these figures, must be re sorted to, if the whole extent of the mor tality alone is to be arrived at. It is es timated that the total casualities number nearly a million. line the sun ever shone on a scene so sad.so terrible, in all earth's circling sea sons, as that which our plannet has pre sented, in this once happiest country on its surface, during its two last annual journeys in its orbit ? The evils resulting from the injuries suffered by hundreds of maimed tad crip pled men ; from the nnloosing of the floodgates of vice and immorality, which must always necessarily occur to some ex tent in a time of war, but never to such a degree as in civil war ; the blow that has been inflicted upon the great material in terests of the country ; the suffering in other lands; and the extent to which the world's progress has been retarded, iftot actually reserved, by this lamentable ean test, cannot, of `courser, now be correctly estimated. How strange it is, that ere our pima was yet broken, meo were found, on both sides, who were zealous for the seeont plisliment of everything that made for war.— Hartford Ames. What we OWe to Deem**. "I will do just as I please k 'says many a headstrong young man,"for whose business is it, if I choese to take the consequences ?" Not so fast, good sir. If you knew more of human nature you would be aware that you cannot outrage _ . Avon the small conventionalities of lite which are known under the common name of decorum, without injuring your reputation. estranging your Mends, and preventing strangers, who might be useful to you, from making your acquaintance. But this is not all. You have no right to disregard de corum, for the consequences reach others than yourhif. . Your example is always doing harm when it is not doing good. Your sconduct affects the standing of your family and as sociates' as well as yourself. Ong through life is like treading among a labyrinth of spring guns. If you follow the beaten track you are yourself safe. But if you; diverge to the right or left your indiscretion is sure to injure yourself, and may harm others also. A wise an Rover outrages decorum, reckiewly vio lates prejudices, or tlxoughtlesaly acts regardless of the opirions of the world. HELP YOUR *OMER . We have seen from two" to six great hearty boys setting by the kitchen stove, toasting their feet, and cracking nuts or jokes , while their mother, a slehder woman, has gone to the wood-pile for wood ; to the well for water, or to the meat house to cut frozen steak for 'dinner; this is not as it should be. there is much work about a house too hard for woman. Heavy lifting, hard extra jobs, which should be done by those more able. Boys, don't let your mother do it all, espeeinliy if she is a feeble woman. Dell; prosy housework is irksome enough at best. It is a long work, too, it, being im possible to t ell when it is suite done, and then on the morrow the whole is to be gone over again. There is. more of it than one is apt to think. We wish some busy, all 'day houseworker, the arrangement of whose house is about as irle011•01 nient as it can be—a no conitnou r state of things—would count her steps for one day, and let us have the result in miles; let it be note& how many times from the stove to the wood pile, to the pump, up aad down the stairs, and especially how many times from the stove to the buttery." Death of Gen. Itherinaa. We regret to chronicle the -antinte ly death of General T. W. Sherman, at New Orleans.

Owing to the beat of the weather, and 'the pecu liar nature of the wound, the sur geons hesitated to amputate at onee, fearing lest death should ensue.— General Sherman was, therefore, removed to New Orleans, where the operation was performed, but the in.- tense suffering caused by-the wooed brought on a prostration eshieb reb dared aniputation fatal, sad be 40011 sank under it.
