MORE TAXES ON THE PEoPLE.--It is not
enough that we, in this city, are taxed annu-
ally to the amount of five millions for munich
pal government, increasing at the rate of
twenty per cent year, but that our moral
legislators at Albany who lately distinguished
themselves in drunken row on Blackwell's
Island must propose in one Of their committees
tax of mill per head on the population
Of the State. This tax is intended to supply
the deficiencies in the Canal Fund, created by
their own plumber and corruption. The rail-
road Spectators rebel against the PROPOSE
ton to meet these deficiencies by a tax
upon railways. We shall therefore find the
railway Spectators and the canal pluuderers
uniting to impose this mill tax upon the people
and to make them pay for the results Of the
Wholesale system Of corruption and spoliation
which has been carried on for the last fifteen
years, and which has already cost the State
nearly twenty millions Of dollars.

his family connections the rank of leader. His
cousin the President found him most un-
comfortable opponent in the Assembly. He
was at this time living with his father who
had been appointed Director Of the Hotel des
Iuvaldes; glad to get a room rent free, aud
seat at government table. The President,
yielding to petty feeling Of dislike, sent
word that the Prince must vacate his apart

Numbered more iercely than ever from the
tribune. After q time old Jerome succeeded
in reconciling the cousins, and all went on
smoothly till the coup d. ffat. The Prince
then went to England and contemplated
visit to this country; not, as Mr.. Soule suppos-
ed, in any diplomatic capacity, but If with
specific views, possibly of a matrimonial char
acter. Before the scheme came to anything.
however, Jerome again persuaded the Emperor
to make friends with his son. Prince Napoleon
returned to Paris; and soon afterwards the
Eastern expedition being clearly foreshadowed,
he was offered and accepted the rank
of general officer. He has latEy returned
from the Crimea. Some say he threw up his
appointment in disgust at the follies exposed in
the pamphlet now published others that the
Emperor dissatisfied with the NATURALIZATION

E9rHere is good thing which we
find in Dr.. Halls Medical Journal on Home
manners
We some times meet with men who
seem to think that any indulgence in af-
IectlOnate feeling is weakness. They
will return from journey and greet
their children with the coldness and lofty
spirit of an iceberg, surrounded by its
broken fragments. There is hardly a
more unnatural sight on earth than one OF
these families without a heart. A father
had better extlnguish boys eyes than
take away his heart. Who that has ex-
Perlenced the joys of friendship, and
values sympathy and affection, would r. OF
rather loose all that is beautiful in ma.
ture's scenery than be robbed of the hid
den treasures of his heart? Cherish.
then, your hearts best affections. In
dulge in the warm and gushing emotions
OF hIlal parental. and fraternal love.
Think it not a weakness. God is love,
Love God, every body and everything
that is lovely. Teach your children to
love the rose' robin so love their parents;
and their God. Let it be the studied OBJ,
Ject of love, their domestic culture, to give
them warm hearts aud ardent affections
blnd your family together by those strong
chords. You cannot make them too
strong. Religion is love love to God
and love to man.

Of course she had. She always finds

Alright, my dear. But would not have

from desire to fnd out, if we can, why

Two Laws for the Ladies'.

/. Before you bow to lady in the
street, permit her to decide whether you
may do SO or not, by at least a look of
recognition.
2. When your companion bows to a
lady you should do the same. When a
gentleman bows to a lady in your compa-
ny, always bow to him in return.
Nothing is so i'll understood in America,
as those conventional VOWS of Society, SO
well understood and pracLiced in Europe.
Ladies complain that gentlemen pass them
by in the streets unnoticed, when, in fact,
the fault arise from their own breach Of
poIiteness. 1t is their duty to do the
amiable 6rst, for it is a privilege which
ladies enjoy Of choosing their own asso-
ciates or acquaintances. No gentleman
likes to risk being cut in the streets by a
lady through a premature salute, Too
many ladies, it would seem, " don't know
their trade" of politenes. Meeting ladies
in the streets, whom one has casually met
in company, they seldom bow unless he
bows first, and when gentleman never
departs from the rule of good breeding.
except by way of experiment, his acquain
tances do not multiply, but he stands pro-
badly charged with rudeness. The rule
is plain. A lady must be civil to gem
tleman in whose company she is casually
brought; but gentleman is not upon this
to presume upon acquaintanceship the
first time he afterwards meets her in the
street. If it be her will, she gives some
token of recognition, when the gentleman
may bow otherwise he must pass on and
consider himself stranger. No lady
need hesitate 10 bow to gentleman for
he will promptly and politely answer, even
if he has forgotten his fair saluter. None
but brute can do otherwise should he
pass on rudely, his character is declared,
and riddance. Politeness, or good breed
ing. is like-"the reason of things"

Dependencies of Society.

A Southern journal gives an amusing
instance of the dependencies of society in
the following domestic dialogue. The
father is reading the newspaper, and NUT
iters:
''No rise in the river-never going to
rise, believe, WIFE"
Little daughter wish the river
would rise"
Father" Why, what have you got to
do with the rivers rising"
Little daughter" A great deal, faith
er; for then the boats would rum
Father" And what have you to do
with the boats running. my child. eh %
Little daughter" They would bring
the cotton down. father"
Father Cooking over his spectaclcs j.
And what have you to do, darling, with
cotton bales 90
Little daughter" Why. if the cotton
was down, YOU would be able to sell it.,
you know, dear father" smilingly.
Father" And what then %
Little daughter" You would have
plenty Of money"
Father" Well ."
Little daughter (laying her little hand
on his shoulder and looking up in his
face Then you could pay mother that
twenty dollar gold piece you borrowed Of
her, you know, father"
Father" And what then, child ?"
Little daughter" Then mother could
pay Aunt Sarah the ten dollars she owes
her.
Father" Ah-indeed And what
then ?''
Little daughter" And Aunt Sarah
would pay sister Jane the dollar she
promised to give her on New Years but
didn't because she didn't have any cot
ton--any money. l mean. father"
Father" Well, what else ?" he
lays down the newspaper and looks at her
cautiously, with smile.)
Little daughter" Sister Jane would
pay brother John his ffty cents back ; and
he said, when he got it, he would give me
the half dime he owes me, and two dimes
to buy marbles-and this is what I want
the river to rise for and the big boats to
run And l owe nurse the other dime
and must pay my debts -
Pa, look at Ma. "Thcre it is" he
said, "we're all, big and little, like row
of bricks, touch one and away we all go,
even down to cur little Carrie here. She
has, rs child, as great An interest in
the rise Of the river us l have. We are
all. old and young, waiting for mos
ncv to buy marbles"
A good lesson for debtor and creditor,
too, and well enforced.
