A little while and he was plueked awake by

The l'aN Proposed.

The New York Tribune proposes to
levy tax. for the support OF the Gov
ernment, exclusive of all other levies,
State, county, city, and other local impo-
sihons, of twenty-five per cent This
would be a demand, annually, of one
fourth Of all that every man is worth,
for the use of the Government. Every
fourth horse, every fourth cow, every
fourth hog, every forrh sheep, every
fourth acre of land, to be surrendered an
nually to the Federal tax-gatherer. We
have no comments to make and no oppo'
sition to offer We merely call the at
tention of the people to the fact that the
suggestion of such tax has been made
and express the opinion that such taS
will be indispensable to the successiu
prosecution of the schemes of the Ad
ministration.

The Republicans, since their accession
to power, have added several new and
profitable branches to industrial pursuits.
One of these, is embalming human bod
ies-a business that never was carried on
in this country, in consequence OF the
scarcity of raw material, until the Repub-
licans came into authority. Embalmers
now have abundance of "stock," as dead
bodies are cheap and plenty, and the trade
has expanded into heavy and profitable
business. The substitute broker, also,
was wholly unknown in America until
the happy days of Republican rule. Now,
great numbers OF men find this business
q very lucrative one, as they make from
800 to $500 on every substitute they buy
and sell But we are indebted to the Re
publicans for more than these. We had
no national cemetery" before Mr.. LIN
coin was elected. Now We have nation
al graveyard, and an almost countless
number of State and county institutions
of the same cheerful class. 1t is quite
clear to our mind, that, beside the national
debt, we owe a great deal to the Republi'
can party.

The RESULT OF Low WAGES FoR WoRK-
woMAN.-The practical result of low wages
OF seamslresses and work woman was IL
lusirated By an incident which came to our
knowledge last night. young girl, neatly
though plainly dressed, vas arrested by
police officer for improperly soliciting men
upon the street. When taken TO the station
house she admitted the charge, bnt said she
was compelled 10 adopt that course Of lie
or starve. She came from Vermont, with
her mother and sister, because they could
find no employmentthere
Since their removal the mother has been
sick, and their support had devolved upon
this girl, who worked in a shep on Essex
street, and received ten cents for making
thirteen coat button. holes. Work as hard
as she might, che could not earn enough TO
support the family, and so was compelled
tc add to her earnings by going on the
street. She told her story plainly, but with
an apparent feeling that she was justified
by the necessities Other iacts known 10
The police corroborated her story, and there
is no doubt that she was driven 10 life of
shame Such facts show that there is still
work for philanihropisi and Teiormers at
home, even in Boston Boston Post.

PELEG JONES.

I know a man named Peleg Jones,
He voted for Abe Lincoln;
And when this war broke out, he said
There musn't be no Blinking.
Load your guns and squint your eyes,
Finger on your triggers
Hangahe "rebels" up sky high,
Emancipate The ntRgers.
He said the Union we must save,
If ii made creation holler
And tha, iiie President shonid have
Every mar and eve.y dollar.
He joined the Union League, aud bought
A hag fer his son David,
And prayed iha, in another world
No Democrat be saw ed. 81
He said the war was just, and should
Be pushed with vim and viger,
And any man agin the war
Was meansr than niger.
And yet this Peleg Jones would stay
Among his pigs and cattle. S.
While other men took up their ghas
And matched away 10 battle.
But when the draft was made in town,
Poor Peleg he goi drafted
And when we :old the patriot cuss,
!, scared him almost half dead.
Then Peleg went right off and sold
To Smith Of Podunk HoIIers,
One horse, eight steers ten Durham cows,
Aud goi three hundred dollars.
And then he paid the Marshall OF,
But said ii was not right: SIR,
Tha. such good patrioi.folks az he
Should either pay or fight. sir.
Andthis same man, named Peleg Jones,
He voted for Abe Lincoln
And whsn this war broke out, he said
There mustn't be no blinking.
Load your guns and sqnint your eyes,
Finger on your triggers;
Hang The rebels ali sky high,
Enancipaie the niggers.
