The new tariff may, perhaps, have
some effect upon the importation Of
those articles which pay high rates Of
duty, and for which articles of a lower
rate may be substituted. But, as the
value Of the imports depends more up
on the ability Of the importing coun-
try to pay, than upon the amount of
duty levied upon the articles imported,
it is not probable that, under the pre-
sent circumstances of the commerce of
the United States, there will be any d.
minution in the aggregate. Upon the
whole, therefore, it is believed that the
revenue derived from imports will be
increased by the operation of the new
tariff, in a ratio nearly equal to that in
which it is estimated to have been in
creased during the third quarter Of the
present year, in the ports above men"
toned; or, about II per cent. Tbs
increase, however, will produce less
augmentation in the actual receipts i'm
to the Treasury, during the year 1925,
than in subsequent years.
With this view of the subject, the
receipts into the Treasury, during the
year 1925, are estimated as follows:
Customs S2O,0O0,OO0
Lands 100000
Bank dividends $4,000
Miscellaneous s. Incl

EARLY DEATH.

Wandering few days since in village
near the city, we by accident entered grave
ward that was situated OIL the outskirts
The situation was romantic; and every
thing around seemed to partake of the 81
lence of those, who slept within its narrow
bounds. None could view with indifference
such place as this; and though the i'm
pressions there received; might be evanes-
cent and transient, yet while meditating a
mong the ruins that death had made, feel
ing of our helplessness and dependence
could not but find way to the most insensi-
bic heart. Here were gathered in one small
congregation the vigor of youth, and the fee
bleness of years-the bold blasphemer, and
the humble and devout worshipper
There was one humble stone, that we
could not but notice, because we had known
something of the character of her whom it
was raised to commemorate. When we APP
preached it, the feelings of other years
came over us. and we almost fancied we
stood again among the scenes of our youth
1T was small white stone, unadorned and
simple. But there was one thing that
struck me forcibly, though years have roll

ed bv, since this frail memorial was erec-
ted to designate the grave--and that was,
the early age of nineteen inscribed upon it.
The feelings are more solemn when bend
ing over the grave of the young, than when
standing by those of the aged. One has out
lived his usefulness and hopes-thc other
has but just began the journey. when every
thing around him is smiling and joyous. 80
it was with her who was mouldering at our
feet. The morning was bright and prom
ising. The future seemed decked with How
ers, which time only could withcr and des-
trov. But the visions that fancy had SO
fondly reared, were soon destroyed-they
were less stable than the mists OF the morn
ing-less to be depended on.-The bow was
bent, that was to wing the arrow; and though
thus early to be the victim, she was prepar-
ed, to pass through the dark valley, by the
best of all preparations, ife of active vir-
| tue. We could not stand by such grave
unmoved--we had known something in car
ly life of her goodness-and now, even now
can remember her, when health and JOY
were her attendants. But those scenes have
passed away The bridal torch was scarce
iy lighted, before the damps OF death ex
tinguished it, and the songs of JOY were fol-
lowed too quickly by the signs OF mourn
ing. ...
We fingered around this grave, for her
husband was our friend, and could not but
feel how uncertain human happiness is, and
how often the dreams Of fancy will cheat
and delude us. When basking i'll the sun
shine of prosperity we cannot even discern
cloud in the horizon; we must hear the
rattlng of the thunder, or we do not fear the
storm.
i We returned towards home as the sur
was sinking in the west, musing on the early
grave of the wife and child of our friend
l.rhc subject was melancholy one; but ye'
it was a pleasure to retrace the steps Of
youth, and gather, if 1t could be done, some
instruction from the vicissjtudes of that pc
riod.

COMMODORE PORTER FALLEN.

Know'st thou the reason why the hero tell,
By secret cunning, and the cruel dart'
The sword of tscord in the hand of he'll,
By envy manag'd, stabb'd him to the heart:
4 roaring lion has been late let loose,
Ranging the fields of blest America;
Ofl,ring to every honest man abuse,
Prowlng at midnight for his destin'd d prey.
A serpent floats upon old oceans wave,
Whose fangs are mostend with the drop ae-
SPAR;
A long lean lizard creeps Der honor's grave,
And stings the luckless foot that presses there
demon rises thro the realms ofgloom,
Tremendous storms, and tempests TO lore
bode;
Waking with thunders the triimphal tomb,
Which fell Ingratitude has bathed IN blood
The tomb of honor, where our hero lies
Dash'd from the summit of Fame's proudest
height,
There he has fallen-there Freedoms hero dies,
Entomb'd, like Barron, in the shades ofnight.
fault in Judgment, has good mans fame
In run'd fragments from its summit huri'd:
But glory, still, shall circle his bright name,
And laugh the scandal round the list'ning
world.
His monument is in the patriots heart,
Nor blazing discord shall assail ii there,
Nor fell revenge shall there its pang lmpart,
| Nor bloated envy with her snaky hair.
But, ah / fear the direfu1 scene will come,
When Freedoms fabric, like a Greece shall
fall;
When civil war, shall beat the doubling drum,
Or foreign powers, like vutures, seize on all
Methinks see Columba's warrior sires,
Weep DER the conquest that their arms a.
chicv'd;
Methinks view some sad funerea fires,
And Liberty, ofall her boast bereav'd.
Methinks the good, the great, the brave expire,
Like Poland's hapless state had once to dei
While discord waves her brand OF flaming lire,
And flashing fulies below round the sky
So Greece once fell, and blotted her bright page
BY Rome's proud legions, in her fetters
i chan'd;
The demon dscortl, in her rav'nous rage,
Kiss'd the. bright sword her country's blood
! had stain'd.
So fell the mighty mistress Of the world,
The fair republic of once powerful Rome,
Fell like giant by Joves thunder hurPd,
And sunk, like Spain, to penuIy's dark tomb
