The Vermont Patriot tells story of an
old usurer who went, one day. to visit a
former borrower, who had since, fortunately,
grown from poverty to independence. They
went into the garden. Passing along walk
fanked on either side with flowers of great
beauty and variety, the visitor made no
remark until he came to the potatoe patch.
when he exclaimed any friend, you'll
have a fine crop of potatoes there y "Thats
just like you" said the proprietor, "when
ladies and gentlemen pass through my garden,
they look at the flowers-but when id
bog comes in, all he can see is potatoes"

AN ExQuIslrE SroRY, BY LAMARrINE-In

AN EXQUISITE SToRY, BY LAMARTINE-In
the tribe of Neggdeh there was a horse
whose fame was spread far and near, and q
Bedouin of another tribe, by name Daher, de-
sired extremely to possess it. Having offered
In vain for it his camels and his whole
wealth, he hit upon the following device, by
which he hoped to gain the object of his de-
sire: He resolved to stain his face with the
Juice of an herb, to clothe himself in rags,
to tie his legs and neck together, so as to
appear like lame beggar. Thus equipped,
he went to wait for Naber, the owner of the
horse, who he knew was to pass that way.
When he saw Naber approach on his beauti-
full steed he cried out in weak voice, 81 am
a poor stranger; for three days | have been
unable to move from this spot to seek for
food. / am dying; help me, and Heaven
will reward YOU" The Bedouin kindly
offered to take him up on his horse and
carry him home; but the rogue replied, 81
cannot rise; have no strength left !"
Naber, touched with pity, dismounted, led
his horse to the spot, and with great diff
Guilty set the seeming beggar on his back.
But no sooner did Daher feel himself in the
saddle than he set spurs to the horse and
galloped off, calling out AS he did so, at is
i, OaueT. ua'e Sot Iho hoio0 '.'u "'i' o'i
with it." Naber called after him to stop
and listen Certain of not being pursued,
he turned and halted at a short distance
from Naber who was armed with a spear.
-1You have taken my horse" said the latter.
"Since Heaven has willed it, wish you JOY
of it; but do conjure you never to tell any
one how you obtained it," "And why
not ?" said Daher. "Because,' said the no.
BILE Arab, "another man might be really ill,
and men would fear to help him. You
would be the cause of many refusing to per-
form an act of charity, for fear Of being
duped as have BEEN" Struck with shame
at these words, Daher was silent for mo-
ment; then springing from the horse, re-
turned it to its owner, and, embracing him
led him to his tent, where they spent few
days together, and became fast friends for
life.

CouLpN'r Do IT.-A Frenchman, resolved
to be rid of life, went little before high
tide to post set up by the seaside. He had
provided himself with ladder, a rope, a
pistol, a bundle of matches, and vial OF
poison. Ascending the ladder, he tied one
end of the rope to the post, and the other
end around his neck; then he took the
poison, set his clothes on fire, put the muzzle
of the pistol to his head, and kicked away
the ladder In kicking down the ladder, he
sloped the pistol SO that the ball missed his
head and cut through the rope by which be
was suspended; he fell into the sea, TINS
extinguishing the flames of his clothes, and
the sea water which he Involuntarily swal-
lowed counteracted the poison, and thus,
in spite of his precautions, he remained un-
hanged, unshot, imprisoned, unbur med, and
undrowned.

Cuthbe1t, who had come to the island for
the sake Of preventing the escape Of his Slaves,
WAS lieutenant Of the beat-a patrol estab-
nshcd for the sake of protecting the coast at
once against the Nationalists and the negroes.
He had, in conversation with Capt Falconer,
scrupuIously maintained that the negroes
loved their masters, and wanted no freedom
but when these exulting chants were sung In
his hearing, he acknowledged that SO long as
the Union forces remained, the South Caro-
liuians were in danger from their slaves. he
has been sent North, 4 prisoner.
The other instance Of capture Was still
more unmistakably the work Of o slave. The
owner was in his boat, with black crew, TAX
ing them off the shore; tic Union mcn were
concealed from him BY the trees; one Of his
own negroes ran up on the beach rs the boat

The national debt Of France had reached In
1857 the stupendous sum7of SLIT, ,913-
lowed BY interest on this debt and in . time
Of profound peace, fear md jealonsy Of neigh
boring nations, caused the expenditure Of not
less than $69, 1865, ,921 for the 'Wdr Depart

an army, Us NC hare had to do this year, but
simply to maintain it in idleness. The French
war appropriation for the present year is s7s-
697, 800; and the navy appropriation is $780,
S67,500.
The system Of taxation in France is conspic-
nous for ingenuity and costly complication.
Everything is taxed-but the cost Of collect
amount. This is too much; and it must be
the care Of our legislators to ayoid such conl-
plicated devices as enrich 4 numerous and
hated horde Of tax-collectors, at the expense
Of the people. In France everything is taxed
in every possible way--and yet the people live
taxes are too multifarious The stamp duty
alone yields the State many millions then
they have taxes upon doors aud windows,
liquors, salt, tobacco, &C.; duties on the yeri-
fcatfon Of weights and measures; licenses
for mines, factories and water courses On nav-
igab1e canals and rivers; sanitary and con-
su1ar dues; taxes On patents, diplomas and

ways ports, rivers, &C.; taxes on sidewalks,
puying, and works Of public health; fishing

It is an object to have all taxes simple, and
as little oppressive as possible. To combine
these elements with thoroughness, and cr0WE
| the whole by a system Of collection which
shall be cheap and effective, must be the ain
Of Congress at the present time. In some
parts the tax scheme adopted by the last Con
gress was unnecessarily cunbrou5, necessita

adopt, as far as they viii answer, those alread,
made by the States, and providing for an arm,

Whipping Wisconsin officer.
The Washington correspondent Of the Gin
cinnasi Commercial writing from Baltimore,
relatcs the following:
A fight occurred the other day in the camp
Of the Fourth Wisconsin, at Patterson's Park.
1t originated in this wise: Captain Boyd, Of
the Zouaye regiment, and the Major Of the
Fourth Wisconsin, though personally unnc-
quaiuted, we're each oa friendly terms with
private family in the city, the conversation
Of an agreeable, handsome and fascinating
young lady being the mutual attraction.
Captain Boyd gained so1ne notoriety, year
or two ago, as a witness in the celebrated
Chicago Burch trial, where he is said to have
voluntarily testified to some very disgusting
things touching the characterof Mrs. B. The
Captains name being mentioned by the young
lady, the Major remarked that il it was the
Boyd of the Burch case, he, the Major, did not
care about extending lis acquaintance. This
coming to the ears Of Captain B., led to an
interchange Of notes, and visit to the Wis
consin camp on the part Of some Of Boyd's
ellow-offccrs, who undertook to "whalc''
the Major. From the advlces have Of the af-
fair, it does not appear that the zoo-zoos made
much off Of tho Badger, who, though little
man, is full Of pluck, and not altogether uu-
acquainted with tile 'smanly art" The Major
is said to have thrown Msarms about in very
careless manner, aud the zoo-zoos went to
grass promiscuously.

From the Philadelphia North American, 13dI
Liberia has grown to : condition Of stabil-
ity, and las been declared entitled to respect
under the law Of nations By France, Great
Britain, Belgium, Prussia, Brazil, Lubee,
Bremen, Hamburgh, Portugal, and the king
dom Of Italy. Nearly all of these powers,
with others, have formed treaty relations with
if, stimulated By substantial commercial ben
ehts derived from that vigorous germ Of Afri,
trade, owing to the kind feelings Of the peo-
pie toward this country, are receEed on the
same friendly terms as those Of the most fa-
vorcd lands but if their rights are not sane
toned By the United States, its flag may be
altogether excluded from the Republic, or
else the trade may be burdened with such ex-
actions and severe duties as virtually to
amount to total annfhilation. Such is the
present practical working OF our laws upon
1iberian bottoms and commerce. Is this
just, and can We expect other than retaliatory
legislation should their wrongs continue un-
rcdrcssed?
It is high time that Congress should recog-
nize Liberia as an independent, self-sustaining
government. Such 4 measure would be per-
fectly confor1nable TO the principles, policy
and direct interests Of the country. Many Of
our enlightened citizens and statesmen have
urged the measure whenever there appeared

The Negroes Love Of Slavery.

ing Of the slaves towards their masters relates
the following Instances:
The negroes, as get, show few symptoms of
vindictiyencs5; but in two instances they Lave
assisted in the capture Of their former masters.

plantations On st. Helena Island and the main,
was canght by Capt Falconer Of the Seventy

a dozen blacks and one white man, a German !;
the boat was seized, the blacks Intercepted; !;
they belonged to CutLbert, and were going to
meet him at a nei!ghboEing point. Captain
Falconer took the place Of the captured white
man {Whom lc left in care Of his troops) and
ordered the negroes 10 TOW him back to their
| master. Another boat containing . squad of
Union men followed at short distance. It
Was nearly dusk, and as Falconer approached
the place where Cuthbcrt stood, waiting his
boat, the latter cried out, "Who comes there?''
The negroes answered, and were recognized.
Fa1conrr at once jumped ashore with the
/! blacks, and seized the rebel. a scufde ell
| sued, for the Southerncr was armed, and Il
large, powerful man, and FalconcE small The
negroes took no part {they had not yet gotten
| over their awe Of q MASTERY, end not till the
second boat arrived WAS Cuthbert secured
! While he vas rowed off prisoner in his OWL
| boat, and By his own slaves, these burst out
t into singing to the tune Of one of their rude
hymns, making the yersicles as they went
along:
