The new Tax Law

The township assessors will bear
in mind that, under the new Locofocc
tax law, they are obliged TO require
each citizen to return 70. taxation all
the personal property which he may
posess-the law says "every thing
tangible. being the subject of owner
ship, whether animate or inanimate''
from which may then be deducted
5000.
In making his return, the tax payer
is required. and this should be borne
in mind by every assessor-io give
in all his crops Of whatever kind on
hand, and all his grain grOlcing in
his fields; all his horses, coils, cattle,
calves, sheep, lambs, hogs, pigs,
chickens, ducks, geese, and all other
animals having q property value,
without regard to age; all his bees.
hives, guns, looms, side and other
saddles, harness, and gears; all his
household and kitchen furniture, in.
cluding all kinds OF stoves, dishes,
pots, kettles, cups, mugs, &C.; all his
cord wood, lumber, WOOL. fix, straw
and hay; all his wagons, carts plows,
harrows, hoes, rakes, and all other
farming utensils; all his carriages,
buegies, sleighs, Jumpers, and wheel
barrows; all his family pictures,
bibles, hymn books, school books,
and other books in short ererything
in his possession containing proper
ty value, and "being the subject Of
ownership"
In his Interpretation OF the law.
issued before the law was passed, the
Auditor OF State says:
"The necessary wearing appeared,
and all articles OF food, provided Tor
the current use and support Of an
Individual or family, are not TO be
regarded as objects of taxalion."
This is not so. The law itself.
says, sec. o.
"The term personal property.
wherever used in this act, shall be
held to mean and INCLUDE EVERY
TANGIBLE THING, The subject Of o,0ner-
ship, wHETER ANIMATE OF IsANIMATE,
other than money, and moi forming
any part Of any parcel Of real prOp>
ertv as hereinhefcre defined"
Food and clothing are things tangi-
bic, and are therefore subjects OF
ownership and oil taxation, including
the food, fixtures, toys and tackel OF
"the baby" as well as of the adult.
The law makes no exceptations, and
oil course the Auditor can make none.
Everything is intended to be en-
braced.
Under this sweeping definition,
not thing, the subject of ownership,
and Of one single cents value, can
he omitted in making out a statement
Of property. No matter what may
be its character, or the fern in which
il may exist, or how comparatively
valuless or Improbable. if il posses
ses a money value Of a single silver,
it must be returned for iaxaiion.--
Let those who swear 10 their state
ments, remember these facts.

The Wing Caucus, as your readers
are aware, was not perfectly har-
mnnious, but il has fixed on the time
and place of holding the Convention
at Baltimore on June 18th. Why
the 18th was assigned instead Of the
l7th. the anniversary of the Battle
of Bunker Hill, | am at loss TO de-
termine. The 18th had been named,
and it was lavorably received. But
the die is cast, and every body is
disposed TO acquiesce. Notwith-
standing the secession OF certain
'anii-secession" Southern Wings,
the Scott stock has considerably ad-
vanced, since the Caucus. In fact. il
seems TO be generally conceded here
just now, that The General is TO be
the nominee OF the convention
The politicians seems 10 be making
their arrangements in accordance
with this loregone conclusion. We
shall see what we shall see If the
wires are in order on the 10Th ol
June, and if the "wire pulIers" hold
out. In the mean time let it be
borne in mind, that there is many a
slip between the cup and the lip"
| think, as at present advised, that
the Democrats begin TO take it for
granted, that this result is inevitable,
and that they will endeavor TO place
in the field a candidate, who will be
most likely TO beat the tall plume.

THE CHILD'S PRAYER.

The night was dark upon the lake.
The waters rushing past,
The thin cloud scudding overhead,
And rain gathering fast.
The mortal-freighted boat sweeps on,
Full farther from the shore;
The iron wheel, the graceful PROV,
Will track the deep no more.
Still on she rides, noble boat,
Queen mistress of the lakes,
When suddenly sheet of fame
From wheel and gangway breaks.
The groan, the cry, the piercing shrek
Ring Ger the heaving lake,
And, echoing from the distant shore
In mournful murmurs break.
The flame ascends; the frightened fire
Sends forth its lurid glare,
And casts its melancholy light
On men in wild despair.
The mother, to the father clings,
The husband TO the wife,
And, bowing TO the fire kings throne,
Plead earnestly for life.
But see, on yonder deck, boy,
Who cries, with accents wild,
To one who struggles in the sea,
"Oh, father, save your child"
The father hears not, answers not
That tender pleading tone;
That father finds a watery grave,
The orphan weeps alone.
Call now on God, my gentle boy,
All mortal hope is gone;
Thy dearest earthly friend is dead,
And thou art left alone.
The poor bov hears, and answers not
And still the flames roll on;
He thinks of HIM who came to make
Each friendless child his own.
Calm is that brow, serene that heart,
So late with anguish riven;
For God has whispered to that child
Ofhappiness and heaven.
Again is heard the orphan prayer,
But now in accents mild;
The little sufferer turns to God
80 Father. save thy child"
The morning comes, and on the shore
Is stretched one little form,
Whose face is halIowed with smile,
Defiant of the storm.

4 Gentle Reproof.

One day as Zachariah Hodgson was
going to his daily avocation after break
fast, he purchased a fine, large cos!ii>h,
and sent it home with directions to his
wife to have it cooked for dinner. As
no p; rticular mode Of cooking was pre-
scribed, the good woman well knew that
whether she boiled it or made it into
chnwier, her husband would scold her
when he came home. But she resolved
to please him once if possible. and there
fore cooked portions of it in different
ways. She also, with some little Difficult
ty procured an amphiblous animal from a
brook hack of the house, and plunged ii
into the pot. In The meantime her hus
band came home some covered dishes
were placed upon the table, and with a
frowning, fault finding look, the moody
man commenced the conversation
We'll, wife, did you get that fish l
bought -
"Yes, my DEAR
81 should like to know how you have
cooked it. | will bet anything YOU have
spoiled it for my eating. Caking nE the
cover thought SO. What in creation
possessed you to fry it 9-I would as lief
eat boiled frog"
Why, my dear, l thought you loved
it best fried
"You didn't think any such thing
You knew bclter-I never loved fried
iish-why didn't you boil it -
NV dear, the last time we had fresh
fish you know boiled it, and you said
you liked it best fried. But | have boil
ed some ALSO
So saving she lifted the cover, and 10.
the shoulders OF a cod nicely boiled. were
neatly deposited in dish. the sight Of
which would have made an epicnre re-
joice. but which only added to the i'll na-
ture OF her husband.
"A pretty dish, this :" exclaimed he.
. Boiled fish! chips and porridge! II
you had not been one Of The most stupid
Of woman kind, you would have made it
into chowder.'
His wife, with a smile, Immediately
placed before him turcen containing an
excellent chowder.
"My dear" said she, 6" was resolved
to please you. There is your favorite
dish !"
"Favorite dish, indeed,' gr,lmbled the
discomfitted husband, II dare say it is an
unpalatable wishy- -wasly mess. 1 would
rather have boiled frog than the whole
of it,"
This was common expression of his
and had been antici pated by his wife,
who, at this juncture, opened large dish
near her husband, and there was bull
frog of portentious dimensions and pug
nacious aspect stretched out at full length!
Zachariah sprang from his chair at the
sight of the unexpected apparition.
my dear" said his wife, in a kind
entrcating tone, Il hope you will at
length be able TO make your dinner"
Il chariah could not stand this. His
surly mood was overcome !; he burst into
hearty laugh. He acknowledged that
his wife was right and he was wrong;
and declared that she should never again
have occasion to give him another lesson.
