business tact, there will be no difficulty 10
disposing of the entire loan. Exemption
from taxation will be o bonus of great at
traction in the new stage Of affairson which
we are entering, the new era in which State
and Confederate taxes will swallow up the
whole revenue of mpst of the standard stocks.
On one good result We may count with
toIerable certainty: Amateur speculation,
with all its demoralizing effects and tenden.
cies, has received its death.blow. Worthy
men who have been betrayed into the fas
cinating game, as they.obey the summons
to settle with the tax gatherer, will have a
fine opportunity to settle with themselves,
and how many will find that their profits
have been all illusory, that they have Ia
ken, counters for coin, or at best that they
have gained only as he gains, who changes
his pounds into dollars, his dollars into flo:
rinsi his forms into francs, his francs into
reals. The hundreds have become thous.
ands, and the thousands millions. Trans

tions and the old sum remains often less
a heavy amount BY way Of brokerage and
commission. Of course we do not deny
that large fortunes have been made by many
since the beginning of the war, but those
many are but few in comparison with the
whole population, and that small number
will be still further diminished by the rev.

Tax Bill was thought TO pc trencnant e.
nough but no one had any conception how
deeply it would cut until it was put into
operation. And now, close on its heels,
we have second cupping machine, which
will still further -deplete our plethoric sys-
tenn. Whatever may the hardship or even
injustice of these laws in individual cases,
our new plan of taxation is admirable from
moral point of view. 1t is virtually a
disgorging ordinance. Every man who has
speculated, whether in self-defenee or not,
has contributed to the monetary confusion,
and must pay the penalty. Those who have
made away with their Confederate money
will be obliged to sell considerable por-
ton of their substance, at reduced price,
in order to meet the demands of the tax
gatherer; and thousand dollar dolls and
ten thousand dollar etegeres will not find a
ready market few weeks hence. The
trumpery of the auction room will fail to
attract crowds of eager buyers; and even
those who have stored away their winnings
in real estate will be forced to pay taxes
utterly disproportioned to the intrinsic val
gue of the property acquired. Our surplus
capital will find o healthy employment
Manufactures will be encouraged by the
promise. Of stability more than they will be
depressed by the heavy taxes imposed on
the saccruing profits. Confederate credit

Beans as a Field Crop.

They are valuable crop, and with
care are as sure as wheat crop. They

ent ways, viz in hills, in drills and
sowed broadcast | need not describe
the first, which is a well known process.
| had an acre in drills, which was the
best crop I ever saw. My management
was this: On the acre of light ground,
where the clover had been frozen out
the preceding winter, I spread eight
loads of long manure, and Immediately
plowed and narrowed the ground. Drills
of burrows were then made with light
pillow, at the distance of two and half
feet, and the beans thrown along the
burrows about the 25th of May, by the
hand, at the rate of at least bushel on
the acre. | then guaged double mold
pillow, which was passed once between
the rows, and was followed by a light
one horse roller, which fattened the
ridges. The crop was twice cleaned
of weeds by the hoe, but not earthed
The product was more than forty eight
bushels by actual measurement.-Judge

The Thankful Heart.

If one should give me dish of sand,
and tell me there were particles of iron
in it, | might look for them with my
eyes, and search for them with my
clumsy fingers, and be unable to detect
them; but let me take magnet and
sweep through it, and how would it
draw to itself the most invisible particles
by the mere power Of attraction The
unthankful heart, like my finger in the
sand, discovers no mercies; but let the
thankful heart sweep the day, and as
the magnet finds the iron, so it will find
in every hour some heavenly blessings
only the iron in Gods sand is gold.

that he had left his visiting cards. He

the cards he should see there. The SER

articles to be used as directed, and off

numerous, he turned to the servant with
the question
