>mo Tax-Are You all Ready I?

To all to whom these presents may come,
greeting! Know ye that on the first day Of
May, every man, woman and child, in these,
once, United States, whose income is over
5000 per annum, most pay tax to the Gov
eminent. Please call on the assessor of your
respective districts and he will gi7e you full
particulars in regard to your duty. This will
be something new to the people Of this coun-
try. Thus far, we have been exempt from all
taxation of such character. A new era is
now about to dawn upon US, and one which,
in its very nature, will be exceedingly annoy
ing and vexatious to ALPHABETICALLY to the
Copperheads. -. 81
This income tax will do more to try our
patience and our honesty than any other
measure ever adopted. All business men
merchant princes, bankers, spectators, misers,
farmers, mechanics, everybody now
have reckoning with their consciences They
must, practically, make full disclosure under
oath, of all their affairs, and the results will
be open to public inspection and criticism.
Those who make their hundreds, or thous-
ands, or millions, will all fare alike. This tax
law is no respector of persons. aze
What large amount of gossip will follow
in the wake Of this new movement How
easy it will be to know all about our neigh
boris business What Especial revelations"
there will be in all quarters! 1t will be found
that Mr.. Smith has lived too fast entirely-that
be has been far too extravagant; and as to
Mr.. Jones, who has succeeded SO well, thus
far, in keeping up appearances. he must come
down little, and no longer train in the Fifth
avenue ranks. Mr.. Sneoks, that good old
has been snubbed all his life
will at last come out respectable" We shall
,ay of him, "Who would have thought mil
lived so near to u.s." 1--WE must call
IN him at once" "He really has an inter-
,rsting family" But what has all this to do
With the sober reality of taxpaying? You
will find out, reader, after the first Of May.
Are you all ready ?" III 'EiiiAs"' afl

REsrR1cr1oNs ON THE SALE OF FIRE ARMs.-
An order has been issued by the Military
Commander of the Department of the Ohio,
restricting the wholesale of firearms. In
order to obtain goods to be resold, restricted
by the order, it is necessary that the pur-
chaser take an oath Of allegiance, and that
be subscribe to an affidavit of the dispose
ton he intends making Of the goods, and he
must procure from the officer who administers
the oath certificate, setting forth that he
has complied with the above regulations, and
that be (the purchaser) is personally known
to him, and that he is proper person to en-
trust, which certificate, together with the
affidavit, must accompany the order. This is
. good step in the right direction. We trust
it may be rigidly enforced. roo lsstayJ
