ILICAVV TAXATION AND RADICAL
reisciszEssismss.
We are a heavily taxed people. Few, per
haps none, are more so. Some at first were
disposed to regard this matter of neavy taxa
tion as of little consequence. We were so
rich and prosperous, and had such exhaust
less resources, they said, that we could stand
almost any amount of taxation the Govern
ment might lay upon our shoulders. But this
folly has had its day, and people generally be
gin to feel that there is no pleasure in being
left destitute of the comforts and necessaries
of life by taxation on everything we eat,drink,
wear or use in Any shape, •
Even the common pursuits and business of
life are seriously interfered with and inter
rupted by this all pervading and burdensome
system of takition. Take the business of
manufacturing for cut*: First, there is• a
tax on the raw material; then, a tax upon the
Articles manufactured I frd m , that material;
and, then, an income tax p eon the profits of
the business. ThoS, ind try, labor and en
terprise are burdened ankdepressed in every
possible way. From twelve to fifteen thou
sand articles pay internal revenue Imposi
tions. So excessive are these impositions
upon manufactured products that competi
tinn with nireizn markets is out of the ques
tion.
Many branches of home industry have
thus been broken up and capitalists have re
tired from the .fleld of enterprise, disguited
and disheartened. ' Employers are compeUPd
to curtail their sphero of operations and re
duce their outlays and expenses, and laborers
oppressed by taxation and the high prices of
living become dissatisfied and restive, and
strikes and suspension of work of all kinds
are the illitastrous results. .
. Whence results this oppressive and ruinous
taxation? Part - of it is-due to heavy expenses
incurred in the late civil war, but much of it
to Radical extravagance and, recklessness.
Now the war is over, the Government should
return to the system of economy and light
expenditures in vogue before that event But
a Radical Congress seems to regard the peo
ple as Kings and Nobles have been said to
do, as only having a license to live and work
that they may be taxed for their masters'
benefit , .By Freedmen's Bureaus, by Inves
tigating Committees appointed for political
effect, and other devices, the outlays of the
Government are made six-fold more .thin
they were in• 18410. Here is a table proving

We ask : that this comparison Of expendi
tures between 1860 and 1866 be carefully no
ted. These expenditures, instead of being
reduced to something like the standard of
1860, are certain to be continued, and cor
respondingly heavy taxation to be levied to
meet, them, while the ;Radicals remain in
power. r- •
The evidenc r e of this is furnished in the
last report of the Secretary of the Treasury,
which gives the sit heads of expenditure
enumerated in the foregoing table an aggre
gate of ;216.569,898 as the estimated disburse
ments for 1867, or $156,710,926 more than
in 1860. •
This extravagance o expenditure •is not
confined to the Radical Congress. The Rad
ical State Legislatures imitate their example.
It is estimated, and truly, too, that the States
under Radical control have increased their
debts, since 1860, to the amount of ;300000,-
000, while .the city, town and county- debts
in those States have been increased to a
much greater extent, and the local taxation
thus Induced has become most opp ,reasive,
and added to the Federal taxation, it becomes
absolutely ruinous to the business and mate
rial growth and prosperity of the country.
These facts should arouse every man to
assist in applying the true and only remedy
—reduction of expenditures' in the public
administration of affairs by the practice. of
the Most rigid economy. We must adopt the
Democratic motto of a "light and simple
government." But the present party in pow
er will never apply this remedy. .They will
go on in thi4 course of extravagance and
reckless corruption, because to retreat from it
would be their destruction. They got power
by such means, apd by larch only can they
retain it. The only way the people can save
themselves and the country from ruin is to

Airanmsing incident occurred -in one of
our doWn-east churches a few years ago.
The clergyman gave out the hymn: "I love
to steal awhile away from every cumbering
care, and spend the hour of setting day in
humble, gratethl prayer." The regular chor
ister being absent, the duty devolved on good
old Deacon IL, who commenced, "I love to
steal," and broke down. Raising his voice
to a still higherpitch, he sang "I love to
steal ;"and, as before, he concluded that he
had got the wrong pitch, and deploring he
had not got his pitch tuner, he determined to
succeed if he died in the attempt. By. this
time all the oldladles were tittering .behind
their fans, whilst the faces of the young ones
were all in a broad grin. At length, after
a desperate cough, he made final - demon
stration, and roared out, "I love to steal."
This effort was too much. 'Every one but
the godly and eccentric parson wee laughing.
He arose, and with the utmost coolness said,
"Seeing our lnuther's propensities, let us
pray." It is needless to say that but few of
the congregation heard the prayer.

A Good Joke.
many years ago, .when church organs first
came in use, a worthy old clergyman was
pastor of a church where they hid just pur
chased an organ. Not far from the church
was stAlrge town plitare, where a great
massy ,cattle pitied, and among them a large
bull. One hot Sabbath, Mr. Bull came up
near the church grazing, and just as the Rev.
Mr. B— was in the midst of his sermon—
"boo-woo-woo" went the bull. The parson
pulsed, looked up at the singing seats, and,:
with a grave face, said : "I would thank the
musicians not to Anne instruments
during service; it annoys me very much."
The people started; and the minister went
on. "800-woo-woo," went the bull again,
as he drew a little nearer the church. The
parson paused again and addressed the choir,
'I really wish the singers would not tone
their instruments while I am preaching."
The congregation tittered, for they knew
what the real cause of this disturbance was.
The old parson went on again, anti he had
just about started good, when 'Boo-woo
woo" came from Mr. BulL The minister
paused once more and exclaimed : "I• have
requested the musicians in the gallery not to
trine their instruments during the sermon.
I now particularly request Mr. L— that he
will not.tnne his doable base organ while I
am preaching." This was too much. L—
got. up, too much agitated at the idea of
speaking out in church, and stammered out:
"It Is—isn't me, Parson—; Ls that d—d

Regarding Handwriting. 7.
Some imaginative personages: Edgar A.
Poe, among the number, cherished the de
lusion that a man's character could be read,
in his hand writing. No mom absurd posi
tion could be held, as is at once proven by
the fact that no man's hand writing is invari
able. It is influenced by circumstances and
changed with his condition of moods. A
man who thinks fast will write fast, and in
all probability, and unless he be'a scrivener,
will tvrite illegibly. It is also assumed that
all men of great literary talent or marked
professional ability write badly, because it Is
of no material Importance to them to write
well Editors write badly, not because they
write overmuch, but because the thoughts
they have to set down crowd upon them so
fast in the order of composition that the pen
is forced faster than their skill can follow ;
and as thellsalaries are not dependenton the
beauty of their handwriting, they take no
pains to make their chirography legible and
handsome. Yet there are thousands of mer
chants' clerks who write far more rapidly
and for a greater number of hours daily than
an editor or a lawyer, whose writing Ls al- -
ways handsome, uniform and legible. This
is because they 'would lose their places were
the case otherwise.'

Jentske JniessA Poem In undress.
It is many years since I fell in love with
Jane Jambs Skew, the handsomest coun
try girl by Gtr that ever went on legs. By,
meadow, creek, and wood, and dell, so often
did we walk and the moonlight, smiled on
her melting lips, and the night wind learned
our talk. Jerushe Jane was all to me, for
my heart was young and true, and loved with
a double and twisted love. and a love that
was honest, too. I roamed nil over the neigh
bors' arms, and I robbed the wildwood bow
ers, and tore my trowsers and scratched my
hands in search of the choicest flowers. In
my boyish love I brought all these to my Jo-
Naha lane; but I wouldn't be so foolish now
if I-were a boyagain. city chap that came
along, all dressed upin tine clothes, with a
shiny hat and a shiny
,vest, and a moustache
under his nose. Be talked to her of singi.
schools, (for her father owned a Wm), and
she left me, the country love, and took the
new chap's atm. But all that night I never
slept nor conhl I eat nett day, for I loved
that girl with a fervent love that naught
could drive away. I strove to win her back
tome, but it was all in vain ; the city chap
with the hairy lip, married &mils Bane.
And my poor heart was sick and sore, until
the thought struck me, that just as good' fish
still remained, as ever were caught in the sea.
130 I went to the Methodist church one night,
and saw a dark brown curl peeping from
under a gypsy hat, and I married that very
girl. And manyyears have passed and gone,
and I think my loss my gain ; and I often
bless that hairy chap that stole my Jerusha
Jane.
The Teeth of a florae.
At five years of age; a horse has 40 teeth
-24 molar or ,jaw teeth, 12 incisor or front
teeth, and four tusks or elude teeth, between
the molars and incisors, but usually wanting
in the mare. At birth only two of the nippers
or middle incisors appear. At a year old the
incisors are all visible on the first milk set.
At three years old the permanent nippers
have come through. At four years old the
permanent dividers, next to the nippers, are
out. At five the mouth is perfect, the second
set of teeth having been completed. At six
the hollow under the nippers called The mark,
has disappeared from the nippers, and dimin
ished in the dividers. At seven the triark has
disappeared from the dividers, and the next
teeth or corners are level, though showing
the mark. At eight the mark has gone from
the corners : and the horse is said to be:aged.
After this tune, indeed after five years, the
age of the horse can only be conjectured.
Dealers sometimes bishop the teeth of old
horses; that is, scoop them out to imitate the
mark; but this can be known by the absence
of the white edge of enamel which always
surrounds the real mark, by the shape of the
teeth and other marks of age about the ani

Tam Hlirrotty or Tnousana.—There was
one striking difference between the dresses of
most of the other known nations of the an
cient world and those of the Greeks and Ro
mans. Trousers, or pantaloons, were worn
by the .Oriental nations—Medes, Persians,
Assyrians, Parthians—and by the principal
Western nations of Europe known to the
ancients, especially the Dacians and Gauls.,
The first women who are known to have as
sumed this dress are the Amazons; but even
these ladies, unlike,:their successors, the
bloomeri; modestly limited the time of
im
prisonment in such masculine habiliments to
the period of . warlike expeditions, after
which they resumed the customary and grace
ful attire of their sex, laying aside the garb
of manhood with the helmet, shield and
spear. These garments were made of skins
or richly 'wrought •cloth, sometimes fitting
tightly to the limbs, like' those in u, here,
and sometimes loose and hanging
in\folds
.over the shoes like the Turkish trousers. The
Greeks never wore them at all nor did the
Romans until the time of the Eatperors, who
attempted to introduce breeches among their
subpets, as a means of malting them forget
their ancient liberties.
Tim SEcrtrr.—" I noticed," said Franklin,

happy smile danced like a sunbeam on his

Y. 3L—"Why, I don't take it down ; it is up

M.—" That is just what you want to dd
in advertising—do so all the time, never stop
and you are sure to win,"
Y. M.—" But why advertise during dull
times r"
Rt M.—"Beeause that. Ls just the time to
make new customers, and those you wish to .
make such have more to - rend and will no.
tiee and read your advertisements, while in
busy times they might not look at them at
all, or at the most give them a passing glance,
in consequence of being busy themselves."
Y. M.—" But the. large majority of bus!.
ness men do not advertise during dull . sea
song."
Ii 31.—" That is just the reason why I ad
vocate it in such.s.eacons. You have fewer
advertisements to contend with, and 1 verily
believe that I made more new customers
from well gotten up and conspicuous adver
tisements during dull seasons, telling , the
public what I was going to have when the
busy season commenced, than at any other
time."

all looked at it and plunged their hands into'
the barrel and bit a kernel or two, and then
gate their universal opinion that there wasn't
a pea in it. "I tell you there is," said the *,
old captain, again scooping up_ a handful ;
"-and bet a dollar on- it." The old Bos
ton argument all over the world. They took
him up. 'Well," said he, "spell that" point
