An Act to regulate the TAKE.

There Is much IN tins law when does
not relate directly to assessment and tax
alton. A portion of it is merely explain
atory, portion applies directly to taxes,
another portion applies TO labor, another
portion applies to the former prohbltory
system, portion is simply instruction,
and a portion is direct law. That part
which simply disapproves of certain evils
is instruction, If a penalty is affixed that
is absolute law.
l. Respecting the Poll Tax.
There shall be two forms Of taxation i'm
the Hawaiian kingdom. The one poll
tax, to paid in money, the other land
tax, to be paid in pork or there shall be
the standard of taxation, though in failure
of these articles, other property will be
received. The amount of taxation shall
be as follows:
For Man, one dollar.
For Woman, half dollar.
For Boy, one fourth of dollar.
For Girl, one eighth ola dollar.
This is the ratio of taxation for adults
and children above Ia years Of age. But
feeble old men and women shall not be
taxed at all. In the back part Of the is
lands where money is difficult TO be OBJ
tanned, Arrow Root will be suitable sub
sttute. Thirty-three pounds of good ar
row root will be taken for a dollar. Cot
ton also is another suitable article Sin
teen pounds will be accounted equal to a
dollar. Sugar is another suitable article
also nets If any individual do not OBJ
tain the money at the time when every
man is to pay his taxes, and if ne do not
obtain arrow root, nor cotton, nor sugar,
nor nets, until the specified months for
payment are passed, viz. December. jan
uary and February, and if the last days
of February have passed, then every man
shall be fined the value of two dollars, Gr
his tax is not paidD and the same rates of
increase shall De observed in relation to
those whose taxes are less than that of a
man. The fine shall be paid in some
property that can be sold for the value Of
two dollars, but not in property subject
to immediate decay or death.
9. Land Tax
The following is the rate of taxation
for plantations, and, farms including plan
tations. There shall be no state, county,
town and district tax, but only the follow
ing:
A large farm--a hog one fathom long.
A smaller one-a hog three cubts long.
A very small one-a hog one yard long.
If not fathom hog, then 10 dollars.
If not three cubit hogs, then y dollars.
If not yard hog, then dollars.
If neither fathom hog nor ten dollars,
then two yard hogs, or if failing of these,
then one cubit hogs, or if not these,
then some other property of equal value
with fathom hog. Or, if none of these,
then inquiry shall be made both of the
land holders and landlords, and he whose
is the fault shall be dispossessed of his
right in the land. Or if the fault is COM
mon to the landlord and tenant, that thew
shall have three months to put the land in
good order, at which time they all shall
leave it, For in that case it appears that
the land was truly valuable, but the land
lord and tenant neglected to pay the tan

TIE TRAVELLER EVENING SONG.
BY MRS HEMANs.
Father, guide me! Day declines,
Hollow winds are in the pines,
Darky waves each giant bough
( O'er the sky's last crimson glow;
Hush d is now the converts bell,
Which erewhile with breezy swell
From the purple mountains bore
Greeting to the sunset-shore;
Now the sailors vesper-hymn
Dies away.
Father! i1 the forest dim,
Be my stay!
In the lowly shivering thrill
sOf the leaves, that late hung still;
\ In the dull and mufiled tone
OF the sea-wave's distant moan;
In the deep tints of the sky,
There are signs of tempests nigh,
.Ominous, with sullen sound,
Falls the echoing dust around
Father! through the storm and shade,
Ger the wild,
Oh! be Thou the lone ones aid
Save thy child!
Many swift and sounding plume
Homeward through the boding gloom,
.O'er my way hath fitted fast,
Since the farewell sunbeam pass'd
From the chestnut's rudy bark,
And the pools now low and dark,
Where the Weakening night winds sigh,
Through the long reeds mournfuliy,
l1omeward, homeward, all things haste
God Of ri ght!
Shield the homeless-mid the waste;
Be his light!
In his distant cradle-nest,
Now my babe is laid to rest;
Beautiful! his slumber seems
With glow of heavenly. dreams.
Beautiful, Ger that bright sleep,
Hang soft eyes of fondness deep,
Where his mother bends to pray,
For the loved and far away.
Father! guide that household bower,
Hear that prayer!
Back, through thine all-guiding power,
Lead me there!
Darker, wilder, grows the night
Not star sends quivering light
Through the massey arch If shade
by the stern old forest made.
Thou! to whose unslumbering eyes
All my pathway open lies
by thy Son, who knew distress
ia the lonely wilderness,
Where no roof that blest his head
Shelter gave
Father! through the time of dread,
Save, oh! save!

sons be !ned and disposscssed who hold
small farms included in larger ones
But those plantations which have no
farms in them, under the direct taxation
Of particular chiefs, and have never had
during the remembrance of any of the
people now alive, they shall be taxed as
follows in this new assessment:
A large planta,ion-two fathom hogs
A smaller one-one fathom hog.
A very small one-a three cubit hog.
The above shall be the conditions of tax,
alton, and dispossession of farms.
1t is furthermore added for the purpose
Of clearness and equality in taxation, that
if the tax officer and the owner of the
hogs do not agree as TO the size of the
hog, then the tax hog shall be weighed,
and fatEom hog shall be considered as
weighing 1888 pounds, three cubit hog
$50 pounds, and yard hog l67 pounds.
In the system of taxation this shall be con.
sidered as the regular weight of all tax
hogs.
If the weight Of hog shall exceed that
which is prescribed for the fa,hom, three
cubt Or, yard hog. then the tax officer
shall pay for the excess above the proper
weight; and SO also if the weight of The
hog fall short of what is prescribed in the
law, the land agents shall pay the def
cheney.
. Furthermore the governors Of the sew
eral islands shall notify his maiesty the
king of all the lands which are annually
forfeited, and he shall give them out again
at his discretion, or lease them, or put
them into the hands of those who have no
land, as he shall think best.*
3. Ofthe Labor Tax.
Hereafter tax in labor shall not be
required on every week of the month
On two weeks labor shall be done for his
majesty the king, and also the landlords,
and two weeks the people shall have
wholly to themselves. The first week in
the month the people shall work two days
for the king and one for the landlords
the second week III the month they shall
work one day for his majesty the king,
and two days for the landlords, and the
next two weeks the people shall have to
'iNiISri'Co' but IL tllcIC DC important
public work 10 be done which is for the
benefit of the people at large, then there
shall be twelve working days. The PEG.
pie shall work three days in each of those
weeks which belong especially to them
selves. and when the work is finished or
ended, then that kind Of labor is at an
end but as regards such kinds of labor
as are merely for the private interest of
chiefs or owners Of counties, towns, dis
trIcts, plantations and farms, each, even
including the king, shall take the benefit
only of his own particular days in the
week, and the people shall work only on
Friday, or sometimes on Thursday for the
landlords, and the landlords shall be ex.
act to observe their particular days And
SO also the tax officers shall be particular
to appropriate only the kings days to his
labor. If the landlords or inferior chiefs
see proper to appropriate their days for
the benefit of his majesty the king in the
performance Of any particular labor, then
the king shall return as many days labor
as he has received from them. In the
same way there may be an exchange of
days with the common people.

Towards the close of his speech in fa-
vor ofthe Distribution Of the Public Lands,
Mr.. Rayner, of North Carolina, made
some very eloquent remarks;
"Put," said he, "this beautiful, this
harmonious system into operation, and no
one can estimate the blessings that will
result from it no one can loresee the
rich harvest Of prosperity, that future ge'
nerations will reap from our present la
bors. Establish system, which is so
well calculated to deveope the physical
and intellectual resources of q great peo-
pie, and the heart swells with the very
poetry of feeling, as it contemplates our
future destiny. Can the mind dwell upon
a more sublime spectacle, than that OF this
vast continent, ienonted by fifty millions
of beings, divided into separate and nde-
pendent communities, all bound together
by the strong ties of interest and affection
the abode of intelligence, refinement,
and Tree institutions; after all these shall
have been swallowed up by the tumut oil
faction, which are undermining the gov
ernments of the old world. believe that
the great principles Of Anglo. American
civilization are not to be confined TO the
present limits of our Republic. believe
that this ressiless current will continue to
roll on till it shall sweep over this western
world from Greenland TO Cape Horn.
And il will not stop even here. 1t will
still go westward-it will still 60 westward
1T will subdue from savage dominion,
the Islands that dot the surface of the vast
facIhc; It will ultimately reach the
shores OF Japan and China; it will ascend
the steppes of the Himalay and Caucasian
Mountains 1t will ultimately reach the
forests OF Germany, whence it sprang, 10
redeem its parent soil from the grasp oil
despotism and decay. wish no higher
honor, than to give impetus to this mighty
movement. wish no greater fame, than
to MD in laying one stone in this mighty
fabric, beneath which, millions will repose
in peace and happiness, long after we shall
have departed, and our names shall be
forgotten"

DISEASE AMONG CATTLE. IS slated
that 30 or 80 cattle have recently dltd IN
the vicinity Of By6eld, Mass, IN the
course of few hours after they were. ata
tackled. No satisfactory account has
been given of the cause Of tho disease,
but it IS supposed 10 have occurred from
eating the leaves Of the wild cherry tree,
which has long been known to be fatal to
neat cattle. In dry weather, when feed
is short, farmers should be careful to keep
their cattle from eating the leaves Of poia
sonous plants. When grass is plenty,
there is very little danger Of their dung

THE SHOWER OF FLESH AND BLooD.- -
The Nashville Banner Of late date con-
tains a long communication from PROBES.
sor Tfoost in relation TO the "shower OF
flesh and blood, so called. that lately oc-
Cured in Wilson county, Tenn. The
Professor visited the spot, as soon as he
heard Of the occurrence, and, Of course,
he speaks from actual observation. He
says that portion Of the substance that
fell was undoubtedly animal matter, but
he does not thlnk that any part Of il was
blood. He explains the phenomenon by
the supposillon that whlrlwlnd may
have taken up pari or the whule Of a
dead animal IN decomposed state, and

TnE HnLDERBERG WAR BROKE OUT
AeAIS.-The Albany papers STATE $ that

looks-partners of human joy, soothers
of human sorrow fit emblems of the VIC
