The receipts for the first quarter Of this year arc
less by S20ll 1886 80, than the receipts Of the same
quarter last year. Among the causes OF decrease
is the progressive dininution Of the importation OF
many bg6lyprotected articles, and the substitution
of rival domestic products. For the nine months
ending June 30, ls43, since the present tariff, the
average Of duties upon dutiable imports was equal
to 3Ts4I-10 per cent; for the year ending June
30, 1si5 80 IS $40 per cent; and for the year
ending June 80, Is45, 800 per cent-sbowing
great dminution in the average per centagc, owing
in part To increased importation Of some articles
bearing the lighter duties, and decreased mporia-
from advsioren duties last year exceeded that real
lied from specific duties although tho average Of
the ad-yalorem duties was only % 81 per cent, and
the average Of the specific duties Al 0-prcsenting
another strong proof that lower duties increase The
revenue Among the causes tending 10 augment the
revenue, are increased emigration and the annexa-
ton Of Texas. The estimates for The expenditures
of 1886 are based chiefly upon appropriations made

laws, nearly oil Europe must follow her example,
or give to her manufacturers advantages which can
kets of the world. The tariff did not raise the price
of our breadstuffs; but a bad harvest in England
does--giving US for the time that foreign market
which We would soon have at all times, by that re-
peal of the corn laws which must follow the reduc-
ton of duties. But whilst breadstuffs rise with
a bad harvest in England, cotton almost invariably
alls because tho increased sum which, in that event
England must pay for our breadstuffs, we will take,
not in manufactures, but only in specie; and, not
having it spare, she brings down, even to great
ef extent the price of cotton Hence the result
that bad harvest in England reduces the aggregate
price of OUR exports, often turns the exchanges
against Us, carrying our specie abroad, and inh'ct-
ing serious blow on our prosperity. Foreign ma
tons cannot for series Of years import more than
they export; and, If we close our markets against
their imports by high duties they must buy less OF
our exports, or give lower price, or both. - q
Prior to the 30h Of June, 1912, credit was given
for the payment or duties; since which date, they
have been collected in cssh Before tho cash duties

Miss SUSANNA s. DOWNS, daughter of Mr.
GEORGE Downs, aged l 9 years, months and
days.
When we behold the grave close over our tondest
hopes while the dew of youth yet sparkled upon
its victim, well may we adopt the language OF in
spiration and say that Gin the midst of life we are
in DEATH" And while we drop the tributary teal
that is due at the shrine of departed innocence and
youth, may we learn the instructive lesson that an
a-wise Dispenser of good has intended for us, that
our present bitter cup of afflicton may yield Its
sweets, and that the dark grave of friends may
bring forth life in US. Then with one of old shall
we say that sit was good for us that we have been
afflicted - and for those taken from us, though IN
the springme of life, ifprepared to co. we have no
cause to weep.
Weep not for those that early die,
Though raven locks adorn their shroud,
And CHERISHED forms low Wondering lie,
OF which we yesterday were proud.
IT'S wise and good that they should 60
And leave US here to mourn their flight,
For He whose arm has struck the blow
Tho dark to us-does all things right.
Weep not then tho the rosey cheek
Is coverd DER with deaths damp mould,
And the bright eye that used to speak
Is silent, lusterless and cold.
Oh no!-weep not. Weep not for those

To that deep, undisturbed repose
That Christians find in DEATHS cold bed.
