Tax Gathering incident.

In the early part of the year, when the City
Revenue Collector making out his list of
delinquent tax payers, one day a respectable
widow might have been seen in The ofice by
any visitor. She was amongst the deiinquenfs
1t was her misfortune; not her fault. che
had. long before the close OF the year. called
upon the Collector for the amount OF her tax
es. and gone to work TO save and have the
MONEY ready in time. But she couldn't do
it. She struggled on to the last moment be-
fore having her property advertised, and r.
nalIy scraped up the sum. Taking her seat
at the table of onr friend NELSON. she opened
her reticule and drew forth her savings. Look
at her pile as she counts it ont. THERE'S first
a ten. then a FIVE, then three. few ones,
some halves, quarters, ten and five cent piec-
es-the last crumbs. as it were. Of all she had.
As she handed it over her heart was doubtless
lighter than when she assembled the steps.
But her last cent was not enough. Interest
had been accrung, and she still owed more.
The Collector did not have it in his heart to
inform her Of this fact; but gave her receipt
for the whole amount, paying the balance out
of his own pocket.
Now. there are many taxpayers, both male
and female, who like the widow above md
il all they can do TO save money enough to
nav their taxes l. il not very unjust to them
To add to their burdens, for any purpose short
of absolute Necessity? The writer hereof
saws let the North Western Railroad be sunk
into the bottomless pit. before such an act
of oppression shall be consummated- Nash
vile and Davidson county have already done
enough for il; if that will not do. let 1t fail,
and its work remain a monument Of the
proaigacy of the times which sunk its re-

day. The rays of the sun poured down
clothed with fcrVent heat but tempered by
delicious breczcs. In the country, under
the leafy trees, there must have been real
enjoyment; bat here in town, where the
brcezes stirred up the dust and drove IT
about in clouds, there was anything but
pleasure out of doors. How rapidly wheat
and oats will ripen if such weather continues
a few days! Let us hope that it will con

marks made in opposition to an increase, of
the already oppressive taxes, have been omit
