Little Emma.
BY LIZZIE NJ

Thou art sleeping, calmly sleeping;
But, alas no soft sweet breath
Comes from out those lips half parted:
Thou art wrapped in calm still death!
Wc have gazed upon thy stiffness;
Marked the coldness of thy brow:
Earth with all it's cares and trials
Hath no power to wake thee now.
Gently, death came down and took thee
From the sorrows yet to come:
Jesus called thee, darling Emma
Called thee to himself, and home.
Then why should we mourn in sadness:
When our loss is but thy gain;
Thou hast passed through deaths dread
portal,
Thou art free from sins dark stain.
Mother, dry those tears of anguish,
And by Faith, and Hope, and Love,
Lock beyond this vale of sadness,
To those blissful realms above.
Emma is "not dead-but sleereth"
Softly on tho Savior's bre lst;
'Wherc the wicked cease from troubling,
And Earth's weary are at rest"

march up here and pay very cheerfully these
large taxes.
The motion OF Mr.. Cox was orcourse voted
down. M ~
Mr.. Cuars (Republican) Of Iowa, it would
appear, takes the same view of this case. He
moved TO amend the bin by striking out coffee
altogether. Mr.. CuBTIs said: ttNff
Mr Chairman, the duties which this bill pro-
poses to levy upon coarse sugar, upon coffee, up
on tea, and upon salt, on which an increased rev.
enueis proposed to be raised, will be found par
ticularly onerous, and TO weigh particularly
heavy upon the people In that portion of the
country which have the honor TO represent.
My people are loyal; they are willing to be
taxed; but they are not willing, am not willing,
that they should be taxed out of proportion to
the other portions Of the Union. Coffee is the
principal article which the people in my section
of the county find 1t necessary to buy. Tea,
believe, 10 much more used in the New England
and the eastern States. But, cir, this bill pro.
poses to make coffee pay much higher rate Of
duty in proportion to its cost than tea and there
fore say the burdens imposed by il will fall
very heavily upon the people Of the Northwest.
Why, sir, the price of the kind of coffee that Ia
mostly used by my constituents costs not more
than 10 cents pound; and Q tax of cents In
additon-of fifty per cent. upon the article-is,
1t seems to me, unreasonable. l cannot support
1t. do not deem it necessary. / hope the
committee on Ways and Means will bring in
bill for issuing Treasury notes In sums as
small as ten dollars. My constituents would be
willing to take the largest amount Of such issues
their means would permit, and think such O
course would be much preferable to placing q
tax upon the necessaries of life, such "a this dill
levies upon coarse sugar, coffee, and upon salt,
1t is proposed to collect about TwEsTY-sEyEs
MILLION DOLLARS from these articles, which are
now free. This tax will fall to the largest ex.
tent upon the poorer class Of people, who are
the least able to pay it, or they must cease u.s.
ing it. They must iorego almost the only lug
ury they have. Mr.. FouKE (Dem.) of Illinois,
well says: rar
t"The man who receives so cents per day pays
as much tax, so far as sugar and coffee are con
cerned, to support this war, as the man whose
income is counted by the thousands. The prin'
clple should be that the capital OF the country,
which is most benefited by Government, should
support It. The poor man, who enjoys few other
luxures besides sugar, tea and coffee, fights for
| $ll per month; while his more fortunate breth.
Ien, who wear broadcloth, command regiments
and companies, bsttalions, and bfigades. Give
US something that will produce sufficient reve.
nue. to pay the interest upon our public debt, and
at the same time operate equally and without
oppression" y u13H
We hope that the few Democrats in Congress
will zee that, in levyiDg the immense amount oi
taxes required for the war, it shall not oppresi
the poor, and protect the manufacturing incor'
porations of the country.
