TIM EVENING. STAB.
BY JOHN LEYDEN
How sweet thy modest light to view,
Fair star, to love and lovers dear,
While trembling on the falling dew,
ike beaut• shinin_ throu_ h a tear
Or efiging c'eftlitit - Mirrof - stream,
To mark each image trembling there,
Thou seem'st to smile with - sifter gleam,
To see thy lovely face so•fair,
Though. b!azing o'er the arch of night,
The moon thy-timid beamsoutshine
As far as thine each starry light—
Her rays can never Vie with thine.
Thine Are the soft enchanting hours
When twilight lingers on the plain,
And whispers to the closing flowers
That soon the sun will rise Again.
Thine is the breeze that, murmuring bland
As music, wafts the lorer's sigh,
And bids the yielding heart expand
In love's delicious ecstacy.
Fair star! though I be doomed to prove
That.rapture's mars are mixed with pain,
Ah ! still I feel 'tis sweet to 'eve—
But sweeter to be loved again.
Mercy at Last.
Gov. Merrill on Monday pardoned Mrs.
Catharine Macardle, the old lady who has
been in the State Penitentiary for four yearn.
This old women, full of maternal devotion,
heroically sacrificed herself to save her son
from the gallows. The son had killed his
father, and the mother, to avert the doom
from her offspring, claimed and confessed
that it was . she who had committed the mur
der, and on her own confession - was con
demned to be hung. Governor Stone com
muted her sentence to imprisonment for life.
The poor woman after one or two attempts
to commit suicide in the Jackson county Jail,
was - finally sent to the Penitentiary, and in
the gloomy clasp of that prison she has been
for tour years, waiuf — q — ari - d - praying for deat..
When we visited the Penitentiary last fall
she was shrivelled in body and nearly so in
mind. For four years she had received no
word from her friends-65 years old, with
her right arm palsied and helpless, abandon=
ed by all of her blood, a victim to heroic
motherly devotion, and with the light of
earth, and seemingly that of Heaven, shut
from her, she was truly as sad an object as
ever trod the wine press of woe. Many per
sons have interested themselves in her behalf;
and at last through the kindness and consid
erativeness of our noble Governor, the dis
graceful chains are stricken from her limbs
and she is once more free out not.happy.

A LEGEND OF 17713,,
Night had set in deep, and in a small log
cabin situated a few miles from Trenton, N.
sat five men, four of whom were 'seated
at an old oaken table in the , centre of the
room engaged itlayirig cards, while they
frequeCtly moistened their- throats with late
draughts from an earthen jug that stood on
the table.
They were heavily bearded coarse - -locking
men ; and, from their dress, which some
what resembled the British uniform, they
were evidently Tories. The other was a
stout-built young man, clad in the Continen
tal uniform. He tat in one corner of the
room with his face buried in his bands.
'.l±Tom;_saitkone of the Toriert,-risitig—fre - ri
the table and seating himself near the young
prisoner, for such he evidently was, 'Tom,
you and I were school-boys together, and I
like you yet. Now why can't you give. up
your wild notions and join us ? You arty
, ttr-prisonerrand-if-we-shall-lriti
you over to headquarters to morrow, while
if you join us your fortune is made, For - with—
your bravery and talents you will soon dirt- ,
tinguish yourself in the royal army, and af•
ter this rebellion is crushed out, your course
would be rewarded by a knighthood and pro
motion in the army. Now there are two al
ternatives— which do you choose.'
'Neither,' said the poling man, raising his
head and looking tho Tory steadily in the
eye. am now, as you say, your prisoner,
but when the clock strikes twelve I shall
leave you—l shall disappear in a cloud of
fire and smoke, and neither you not your
comrades, not even myself, can - prevent it.—
You may watch me as closely as you please,
tie me hand and foot if you will, but a high.
er poWer than yours or mine has ordained
that I shall leave you at that time.
'Poor fellow, his mind wanders,' said the
Tory; 'he'll talk differently in 'the morning'
And he returned to his seat at the table,
leaving the-youth with his head again rest
ing in his hands.
When the cloak struck eleven, the young
prisoner drew a pipe and some tobacco from
his pocket, and asked the Tory if he had
any objection to his smoking. 'None in the
least,' he said, adding, with a laugh, 'that is
if you'll promise not to disappear in a cloud
of tobacco smoke.'
The young man made no reply, but imme
diately filled and lighted his pipe, having
done which, he arose and commenced pacing
the floor. He _took_ half-a-dozen turns up
and down each side of the room, approaching
nearer the table each time, when, having ex
hausted his pipe, he returned to his seat and
refilled it. He continued to smoke until the
clock struck twelve, when he arose from hie
seat, and slowly knocking the ashes out of
his pipe, said—
'There, boys, it's twelve o'clock, and I
must leave . you ; good-by I'
Immediately all around the room streaks
e ran hissing and squirming; the cabin
was filled with densh sulphurous smoke, while
was heard a clap of thunder. The Tories
sat in their chairs paralyzed with fright.
The smoke soon cleared away, but the pris
oner was nowhere to be seen. The table
was overturned, the window was smashed to
pieces, and one chair was lying on the ground
outside of the building.
The Tory leader, after recovering from his
stupor, gave one glance around the room and
sprang out of the window, followed by his
comraes. They ran through the forest at
the top of their speed in the direction of the
British encampment, leaving their muskets
and other arms to the mercy of the flames,
which had began to devour the, cabin.
The next day, two young men dressed in
the Continental uniform were seen standing
near the ruins of the old cabin. One was
of the night previous. 'Let us -hear all a
bout it, Tom,' said the other.
‘Well,' said he, 'last evening, as I was
passing this place, two Tories ran out of the
cabin and took possession of me. Before I
could wake any resistance, they took me in,
and who do you suppose I saw as the leader
of their party, but John Barton, our old
schooltnate,----He-talked-with-me ; -and—trier
to induce me to join them ; but I told them
I couldn't do it—that at twelve ,o'clock
was going to escape, disappear in a cloud of
fire and smoke ; but he -laughed at me, and
said I was out of my head.
About eleven o'clock I asked him if I
might smoke. He said he had no objection ;
so I filled my pipe and lighted it, and com
menced walking the floor. 1 had about a
pound of gunpowder in my pocket, and as I
walked I strewed it all over the fluor. When
the clock struck twelve, I bade them good
by, and told them I had to go; and then
knocking the ashes out of my pipe, the pow
der ignited, and a dazzling flame of fire shot
across, around and all over the room, filling
it with suffocating smoke. Before it cleared
away, I hurled a chair through the window
sprang out and departed, leaving them to
their own reflections. You know the rest.'
In a school district in the far West they
had a gentleman teacher who thought it ad.
visable to give his scholars some lessons in
politeness. Among other things ho told the
boys in addressing a gentleman they should
always say 'Sir,' and gave them examples,
and made quite a lesson of it. Ooe boy was
particularly delighted, and took occasion to
speak to his teacher often, to be profited by
his teachings. When he went home to din--
ner, his father said: 'Tom, want soma meat?'
•Yes, sir, I thank you.' The next thing the
boy knew, his father's band came whack on
his ear, and his father's voice thundered out:
I'll teach you to sass, your dad I.' Torn gave
,up being polite.
Au incautious individual at Terre Haute,
the other day, after smoking, put his pipe
into his pocket with a package of powder.—
Ho was seen shortly after, looking a good
deal surprised, and inquiring for. his coat.

Honesty - the — ll - et* Polio,
A SHORT STORY OF A OLEHR.
A young man by the name of Ames, a
' clerk for a merchant in New York, was en
trusted With large amount-to" - collect, - which
he performed honestly, so well as his em•
' ployer could discover; but Smith, that was
the merchant's name , —was a very cautious
Man, and Often laid 'traps' to catch his clerks
in defrauding him; if any of them were not
proof against dishonesty. In this way he
ascertained which of them vould be trusted,
and when he•found one of them dish On e -st he
would discbarge.him.
Mr. Smith kept a wholesale - and retail
-s-rigiadir 'Store, doing an immense business
and after he had accomplished a fortune,
and he had begun to think of retiring from
business, he said : 'Now I am going to give
up my business. to sueh of my clerks - as - I
know to be h - onest - I - shall test them one
what Ames is—au honest
rascal.'
The next morning be called upon a friend,
whose son was intimate with young Ames,
and arranged a 'trap' to test his honesty.—
He bad a large number. of accounts to col
lect that day, and Robert L—(his friend's
son) was to meet him as if hry accident.
Robert managed to meet Ames just as he
had completed his colleotion,-and-had a large
roll of bills and 'lots' of currency, when the
following conversation ensued;
'Good morning Ames—been out collect
ing ? Got lots of money, I suppose r_
'Yes I've over a thousand dollars and I
must hurry back to the store, as I'm afraid
I may get robbed. One don't know who
may- be dogging his steps in such a city as
New York.'
'Don't be in a burry. Let'e go into Tay
lor's.and get some ice cream, &c. foot
the bill. •
And so into Taylor's they went and sat
down to a beautiful marble table.
'Now, Ames,' said Robert, 'you have a
pocket full of money and I am rather short,
just take a dollar out of the roll of green
backs and pay the bill. .Nobody need know
about it. You can turn over the money to
the-cashier, andif=he—discovers—it short-one
dollar, you may say you can t account for it,
some mistake somewhere. Such errors oe•
cur often, you know, and nobody thinks one
dishonesell yon, Ames, such chaps as
you don't get more than half paid for their
services, and it would not be wrong occasion
ally to take a few shillings when it can , be
done without detection. I, know a young
fellow who pays all his small bills, such as
for jtecps, cigars, and g oing out to the the
atres, in that way, and has done so for years,
and his employer never suspected him of
dishonesty.'
'No sir,' replied Ames, cannot comply
with your s request. A dollar short in my
cashuaighele considered an err6PUnd over
looked; but there would come a settlement
with conscience, which could not be got over
very easily. Ny father used to say to me
'Jqhnny, when-you grow to be a man re•
member that honesty is the best policy:—
He's dead and gorse now, but these words
will never be forgotten. I know I'm work
ing for low wages, but I agreed•to work for
what I receive, and I have no right to use
my employer's money on that account. No.
Robert, 1 refuse your request with scorn and
indignation. I am poor, but thank God, I
have never yet taken money that did not be.
long to me, and I trust I never shall; and if
this is the way you seek to turn young men
from the path of rectitude, I desire never to
meet you again."
Ames then arose and left Robert seated ;
and returned to the store.
Tho'next day Dlr. Smith called his,elorka
into his private offtee and told them all to be
coated,
'Boys,' said be, am, going to retire from
busincs. I have made my fortune here,
and now I propose to loan my entire stock
and trade—some $250,000 and the good will
of my customers- to such of you as I feel I
-can-trust.—Ames,—Stanton--and—Llaufor
handing a document to Ames—'here is the
bill of sale. You will, if agreeable, take im.
mediate possession, and the payments may
be made at your convenience. I have tested
your honor, each of you, no matter how, and
I have no doubt that you believe honesty is
the best policy. Good morning, gentlemen'
—taking up his bat. 'I wish you prosperity
in trade.'
The firm of 'Ames, Stanton & Danford' is
now one of the wealthiest in New York.—
Ames is married—lives on Fifth Avenue, is
worth half a million, and all the result of the
refusal to embezzle a dollar of his employer's
money.

provisions of the old law - with slight' - m - odi- -

The first section affixes a tat of 50 ants
per gallon on every proof gallon spirits. Sub•
sequent sections authorize the Commission
er of Internal Revenue to prescribe guaging
instruments and meters,_ which are to be pro
cured at the-expense of the distiller: No

be made or fermented elsewhere than in an
authorized distillery; nor shall be removed
before being distilled ; and no person shall

aged shall hav: • • • •
authorized distillery and the tax thereon
paid. A fine of from $5OO to $5,000, and
imprisonment, from six months to two years
is prescribed for the violation of any of these
provisions.
All distilling apparatus must be register.
ed with the Assistant Assessor, and all per
sons going into the distillery business must
register in the same manner under penalty
of fine and imprisonment. The registry must
include a detailed statement of the capacity,
&e., of the establishment.
The distiller must give bonds with two
sureties for double the amount of the tax
on the full capacity of the distillery during
a period of fifteen days, but io no case less
than $5,000; conditioned that the principal
shall comply with all the provisions of the
law, as well as pay all fines imposed for its
violation. Forfeiture of the establishment,
as_welt.as fine and imprisonment, is the pen
alty for violation of this provision.
Distilleries and rectifying establishments
are not permitted within six hundred feet
of each other, whether belonging to the same
or different persons. The use of any still
is forbidden in any dwelling or enclosure
,connected therewith where sugar or syrup
is made or liquor retailed.
In addition to the tax per gallon, every dis
tillery with a capacity of twenty bushels of
grain per day or less, shall pay a tax of two
dollars per day, Sundays excepted ; and au
additional tal''of two dollars fur each addition
al capacity of_twenty-bushels. But any die
tiller who shall suspend work shall be re
quired to pay only two dollars per day &w
-°
ino' the suspension.
Still makers are required under penalty
of $5OO and forfeiture of apparatus to notify
the assessor of the manufacture of any still.
Distillers must provide a room at their own
expense for a_banded warehouse, to be un
der control of the collector of the district.
man or a
Other sections provide for the general
management of distilleries, the relative du
ties of assessors and distillers, for cheeks a
gainst fraud, for drawbacks, means of- ob•
taining purity, and affil penalties for all vi
olations of the law.
A special tax of $4OO is imposed upon ev
ery hundred barrels of spirits manufactured,
and there is also imposed licenses of $lOO
for every $25,000 worth sold, and $lO in
crease for every $l,OOO increase of sales.
Manufactures of cigars must pay a tax of
$5 on every thousand made, without regard
to quality, and ou all cigarettes, if they weigh
loss than three pounds to the thousand, $l,.
50., if over that weight, $5.
Dealers in tobacco, selling not exceeding
$lO,OOO worth annually, pay a tax of $25,
and $2 extra for every $l,OOO worth sold.
Raisers are not taxed for sales of their own
production. Dealers selling between $lOO
and $l,OOO worth are taxed $5; those above
$l,OOO, $2 extra for every additional $l,OOO
solci.
Manufactures of tobacco pay $lO, and $2
additional for every $l,OOO their bond is in
excess of $5,000. Manufactures of cigars
pay $lO where there sales do not exceed
8.6-,000-annually r and s2.additional_for_every
$l,OOO in excess of that amount. All snuff
and chewing tobaoooo is taxed 32 cents per
bound; smoking tobacco, 16 cents per pound.
Does it Pay to Smoke.
Pecuniarily considered, of course it does
not pay to smoke. It costa the world an
nually five hundred million dollars for tobac
co. And this connects the use of the weed
with higher considerations, for this comes
out of the world's surplus fund, out of which
comes the means of extending civilization.—
In the'United States, moreover, four hun
dred thousand acres of land are exhausted by
tobacco, which should be devoted to grain
for the thousands who have needed it the
past winter.
One strong point made by Mr Parton is
that tobacco is the enemy of women. Not
only because its filthiness keeps men away
from the sex and makes them seek the com
pany of each other to indulge the habit, but
because it destroys manhood. The point is
simply this : Tobacco, by disturbing and
impairing vitality, tends to vitiate the relit
thins between the sexes, tends to lessen man's
interest in woman and his enjoyment of her
society and enables him to endure and be
contented with, and finally even to prefer the
companionship bf men. Put that thought
into your pipe and smoke it.
Ahiong the great Men of our country who
did not'smoke, were Washington,. Franklin
and Jefferson. Washington Irving was not
a smoker, though nobody ever drew such de
lightful pictures of lusty Von Twillers en
veloped in clouds of tobacco smoke. Gce;he
never smoked, nor could he have smoked
and remained Gcotho.- The man so perfect
in body, so. lofty and splendid in intellect,
and so grand io character, could not have
been a smoker.
