THE PURE STREAM OF EDEN.

THE PURE STREAM OF EDEN
BY !. PIERPoNT.
In Eden's green retreats
A water brook, that played
Between soft messy seats,
Beneath plane-tree's shade
Whose rustling leaves
Danced DER It's brink,
Was Adams drink,
And also EYES.
Beside the parent spring
OF atyoung brook, the pair
Their morning chant would sing;
And Eve. 10 dreSs her hair,
Kneel on the grass
That iringed its side,
And made ito tide
Her looking glass.
And. when the man of God
From Egypt led his flock,
They thirsted, and his rod
smote the Arabian rock,
And forth ril
or water gushed,
And on they rushed,
And drank their fill.
Would Eden thus have smiled.
Had wine to Eden GOMEZ
Would Horsb's paFchins wild
Have been refreshed with rum!
And had Ewes hair
Been dressed in gin,
Would she have been
Reflected far7
Had Moses built still
And dealt out to that host,
To every man Ills gill,
And pledged him in toast,
Would cooler brains.
Or stronger hands,
- -, Have brayed the sands
Ofthose hot plains
Sweet fields beyond deaths food
Stand dressed in living green;
For, from the throne of God,
To freshen all the scene,
A river rolls
Where all who will
May come and fill
Their chrystal bowls.
II Eden's strength and bloom
Cold water thus hath given.
II, even beyond the tomb,
1t is the drink of heaven,
Are not the wells,
And chrystal springs,
The very things
For our Hotels!

we much mistake the intelligence of

lieve it. II no favoritism was intended
why make special provision for the
banking capitalist? If all capital was
to be on an equality, there was surely
no occasion for more than one provis-
ion that would bring it upon the tax
list. 2 ii .a3t ~ '.sl5yc9 sdt Il
If Ahas farm and stock wortbs20,-

for taxation whether his crops are good

the same amount invested in Bank
stock, and if the prefts-(mark it) the
lprofts-for the last year have been cut
off by neighboring bank explosion, or
the abscondlng Of bank officer with
the funds oithe bank, there are no profits
and consequently no taxation. This
whole question can be placed in nut
shell; and we think the inequality and
favoritism of the tax law too paipable
almost to need illustration. d.
But there is another plan or scheme
by which these bank capitalists can es-
cape taxation. If bank ehoses'it NAV
contract its loans SO that its profits
may not exceed what its officers can
cover UP under the head of salaries and
expenses. which last item may per.
chance include $4,000 for banking
house, and thus be exempt from pay

These institutions have very little
scruple as TO the means by which they
shall be benefited, and no one who is
accustomed to taeirtfsftfic bf nakHsr
out quarterly statements Gin which
'expences' are put down under the
head of resources for instance,) but
can see that the balancing OF the two.
items of liabilities and resources, is,
as simple as adding two and two.
Let these institutions, then, be plac-,
ed upon an equality with individuals.
This is according to the very letter
and spirit of our constitution, and is
genuine democratic doctrine. Let us
have no privileged classes, but let all
alike be made to contribute to the sup

Is IT NOT so.-An excellent cotem-
porary remarks that there are compar.
atively few persons who have troubles,
which they do not contribute to make
themselves. In truth, serious trouble
rarely visits one who is always up
light, unassuming, prudent, and dis
posed to be contented with a moder.
ate share of this worlds comforts. Il
is by grasping at the shadow that men
lose the substance Of things. It's by
neglecting comparative competence for
prospective wealth and luxury, that so
many die at. the threshold of beggary,
and find a last home in Potter's Field.
The curse Of our people is univer-
sal desire 10 be pointed al as self made.
The excellent boot maker wants to be
an alderman, so he betakes himself to
grog shops ana political gatherings.
His family suffers, he destroys his bu-
siness; the ungrateful people do not
make him an alderman, and he dies of
exposure and intemperance. a,- n. q
The third.rate lawyer thinks he
would figure to advantage at Washing

his comfortable income, for-nothing.
The greatest trouble one can experi-
ence is that made by want. Want by

duct, can be avoided nvaribly. Rath.
