The T'runaic ised.

As I rummaged through the attic,
Listening to the falling rain
As it pattered on the shingles
And against the window pain
Peepng over chests and boxes,
Which with dust were thickly spread,
Saw | in the farthest corner
What was once my trundle-bed
So | drew it from the recess
Where it had remaiped so long,
Hearing all the while the music
OF nv mothers voice in song,
AS she sung in sweetest accents,
What | since have often read;
" Hush, my dear; lie still and slumber
Holy angels guard thy bed"
As I listened, recolleetions
That | thought had been forgot,
Came with all the gush Of memory,
Rushing thronging to the spot;
And [ wandered back to childhood,
To those merry days OF yore,
When | knelt beside my mother
BY this bed upon the floor.
Then it was with hands so gently
Placed upon my infant head,
That she thought my lips to utter
Carefully the words she said
Never can they be forgotten,
Deep are they in mem'ry driven;
"Hallowed be Thy name, o Father!
Father! Thou who art in heaven
This she taught me then she told me
OF it's import great and deep;
After which learned to utter
Nov | lay me down to Sleep
Then it was with hands uplilted
And in accents soft and mild
That my mother asked, Our Father,
Oh do thou bless my dear child y
Years have passed. and that dear mother
Long has moldered meath the sod,
And trust her sainted spirit
Revcls in the home of Cod
But that scene at Summer twilight
Never has from mcm'ry fled,
And it comes in all its freshness
When | see my trundle-bcd.

A QUINTUPLE TAX UPoN PRINTERs.-It is to be
presumed that the Tax Bill, which was recently
under consideration in Congress, has been mate
rally altered, for the copy before us certainly
contains some extraordinary items OF taxation.
There seems to have been desire on the part OF
the trainers Of this measure to ignore the first
principles of correct taxation. Instead of making
articles of luxury objects of the heaviest taxa
ton. articles OF absolute necessity seem to be
availed of for that purpose. Whisky and other
liquors are taxed altogether too low, whilst artl-
cles of necessary consumption are taYed alto
gether too high This objection may be carried
throuch the bill, Take, for instance, the
newspaper business. That occupation is taxed
to death. whilst the brokerage business is left of
by paying small annual license. 1t is right
that the proprietors of public Journals should
bear their part in the general contribution to the
needs Of the treasury, but it may be doubted
whether it is good policy to make newspapers
dear, the effect of which is to take them ont of
the hands Of the poorer class. BY the effect OF
the bill the publisher of a newspaper is taxed
on his income and in other ways like everybody
else Then comes the taxes which bear particu-
larly on his vocation. He is taxed on the paper
he employs three mills pound which is about
fifteen cents rcam. He is next taxed three per
cent on the value of all the newspapers he prints.
In the third place he is taxed five per cent on
all he receives for advertisements. In the fourth
place he is charged duty of three cents on all
messages sent or received by telegraph In the
fifth place he is required to pay tax of three
per cent. on the value OF the printers ink used
by him, Here are five distinctive ways in which
the publisher of newspaper, after paying his
proportion Of the general taxes like other per-
sons is taxed on his special branch of business
We are not sure that these are all, for the Tax
Bill is surprisingly multirarious. We doubt
whether any other branch of business is made to
contribute in so many different ways and so

THE NEGRO Thieves S-Parson Brownow in Il
late speech at Cincinnati said the greatest negro
thieves in the world were the Confederate sol
diers. He spoke feelingly on this subject
They have stolen from him likely negro boy,
fourteen years old, and worth thousand dollars.
lie had never heard from the boy since he was
taken away, and never expected to see or get
cent for him. 1t was n solemn fact that the
Confederate soldiers had stolen more negroes
during this war than and the Aboltionists had
stolen for forty years. These soldiers were the
oIsoourings of the earth. Not one-half of them
had ever owned negro or were connected by
any degree of social affinity or consanguinity
with anybody who ever did own negro. Not
only did they steal negroes, but they entered the
houses and took the clothing from the beds broke
open the drawers and took all the money and
jcwelry they could lay their hands upon. They
are emphatically thieves as well as traitors.

SPRING.
The bursting buds look up,
To greet the sunlight, while it fingers yet.
On the warm hillside, and the violet
Opens its azure cup
Meekly, and countless wild flowers wake to fling
Their earliest incense On the gales of Spring.
Continual songs arise
From universal Nature--birds and streams
Minge their voices, and the glad earth seems
A second Paradise
Thrice blessed Spring thou Dearest gifts divine
Sunshine, and song and fragrance, all art thine.
Nor unto earth alone
Thou has blessing for the human heart,
Balm for its wounds and healing for it's smart

And bringing hope upon thy rainbow wing,
