lively trihing in the old ones, where vast
wealth has been accumulated. For in

taxed five times as much as Rhode Is

amount of property that Michigan has
In Connecticut, 81 200 worth of prop
erty will pay 81 33; in Kansas, the same
amount will have to pay s.. The excuse
given for this mode of laying the tax is,
that they want to tax the slave States
they may tar them, in Congress, as much
ss they please, but what will they collectl
The truth is, that as our financiers ol
the last and this Congress have been
legislatiug, ah Westsn States pW soon
hare great deal more reason TO secsds ha,
the Southern States had. When the oh
jections to the shameful inequality of this
levy were pointed out, the champion oI
the measure replied with that stupid old
stuff about Little Rhody' not being
much bigger than o bed-quilt, and with
Q magniloquent boast that Ohio had al
ready made provision for paying heI
share of the impost, $4,000, 900. She
has done so; but how? BY advertising
proposals to borroo the money and the
rest of the Western States will have to
follow suit, for none Of them have got it.
The member from Minnesota said, Il
cannot see how Minnesota is to pay thi,
tax, for there is no money in Minnesota.
Is this the kind of increase in revenue,
all borrowed, in fact, which is to sustain
the confidence of the money lenders? III

South Sea bubble never ought to have
burst. At the last session of Congress
the people of the West were taxed for
tho benefit, not of the revenue, but OF
certain eastern interests, by the protect
i've rates of the tariff. Now they are to
be taxed in the ratio Of about three to
one, according to wealth, by this direct
levy. The man who does not see the
germ of another separation in this grossly
partial and selfish legislation, if persisted
in, is stone blind. Coffee, tea and sugar
are to pay large duties, and of course
they will advance in price. Heads OF
families, who are charged with the in.
crease, will, however, have the satisfac'
ton of knowing that according to the
theory of the school now in power, these
duties will be paid by the growers in
China, Cuba and Brazil, and not at all by
those who hand the higher amounts over
the counter of tho grocery store.

LUXURIES OF THE ROMANS.

The luxury of the table commenced
about the period of the battle Of Actium,
and continued to the reign of Galba.-
Their delicacies consisted of peacocks,
cranes of Malta, nightingales, venison,
and wild and tame fowls; they were also
fond of fish. The reigning taste was for
. profusion Of provisions; whole wild
boars were served up, filed with various
small animals and birds Of different kinds.
This dish was called the Trojan horse, in
allusion to the horse filled with soldiers.
Fowls and game of all sorts were served
up in pyramids piled up in dishes as broad
as moderate tables. Mark Anthony pro.
vided eight boars for twelve guests
Caligula served up to his guests pearls
of great value, dissolved in vinegar
Lucullus had particular name for each
apartment, and certain scale of expense
attached to each. Cicero and Pompey
agreed to take supper with him, provided
he would not order his servants to pre-
pare anything extraordinary. He direct
ed his servants to prepare the supper In
the room Of Apollo. His friends were
surprised at the munifcence of the enter
tainment. He then informed them that
when he mentioned the name of the room,
the servants knew the scale of expense.
Whenever he supped in the room of
Apollo, the supper always cost s6,25O.
A Roman pretor, who was to give games
to the public, requesting to borrow one
hundred purple robes for the actors, Lu-
cullus replied that he could lend him two
hundred if he wanted them. The Roman
furniture in their houses corresponded
with their profuseness in other respects.
Pliny stated that in his time more money
was often given for q table than the
amount of all the treasures found in Car.
thage when it was conquered by the Ro.
mans.-Boston Nopellette.

Liberty, and Union, demand a vigor-
Gus prosecution of the war, to the final
subjugation of the Slave power.-NIles
Enquirer.
Such talk as this would have no par.
tioular significance but for the fact that
the same paper publishes the "tax list"
in Berrien County, and may fairly be
supposed to reflect the real sentiment OF
the administration Of this State. As we
read the above it is unmitigated aboli-
tionism. The Republican crow must
drop all such pieces OF meat before he
can sing good to democratic ears.-AM-

trist. He prepared his trench and set
the plants in the usual way (but he thinks
he would have succeeded quite as well
without the trench). After tho plants
were fairly established, he enclosed them
with broad box, which he filled, as the
plants grew, with sawjust, instead oi
earth. The celery appeared to grow
better than when banked with earth, and
when brought to tho table, the stalks
were white, crisp, and tender from bottom
to top. There was neither rot nor rust
and when wanted for use, by removing
one side Of the box, the sawdust fell
away from the plants, leaving them al
most sufficiently clean for the table. He
had also single plants set here and there
wherever he had vacant space in his gar
den, which he covered with boxes and
headless barrels, and blanched with saw

SAVING FOR OLD AaE.-No one denies
that it is wise to make provision for old
age, but we are not all agreed as to the
kind Of provision tits best to lay in.-Cer-
tainly, we shall want little money, for
a destitute old man is indeed sorry sight,
and suggests to every one that suspicion
that his life has been foolishly if not wick
edly spent. Yes, save money, by all
means. But an old man needs just that
particular kind Of strength which young
men are most apt to waste. Many fool
ish young fellow will throw away on a
holiday certain amount of nervous en-
ergy, which he will never feel the want
Of until he is seventy, and then, how
much he will want it 1t is curious. but
true, that bottle of campagne at twenty

eyes at fourteen may necesitate the

We advise our young readers to be saving
of health for their old age, for the maxim
holds good with regard to health as to
money-wsste not, want not.-It is the
greatest mistake to suppose that any vio
iation of the laws of health can escape its
penalty.
Nature forgives no sin, no error. She
let's off the offender for fifty years, some
times, but she catches him at last an6
inhicts the punishment just when, JUS
where, just how he feels it most. Save
up for old age, but save more than mon
ey save honor, save knowledge save th'
recollection of good deeds and innocen
pleasures, save pure thoughts, save
friends, save love. Save rich stores o
that kind of wealth which time canno
diminish, nor death take away.
