COMFORT BEFORE APPEARANC GEE.

Most people are too apt to sacrifice com;
fort to appearances, to subject theil owl, fatn.
lies to manifold privations and discomforts
in order to sstonish with show or afffuenes
few acquaintances who seldom visit, them,
and who only laugh at their foolish and psu-
rlle attempts at displaying little supetior
upholstery in room which none of the fam.
lily dare make use Of. Many is the houses NO
have seen wherein the ''parorn was crams
med4wth useless stuff while not singleroom
was comfortably furnished.
Every family should seek first the utmoat
comfort for its own members that its means
will compass and then if there is q surplus Of
funds which they know not what else to do
with, let it be devoted to the purchase OF
someshing to please the eyes Of stranghrs--
er rather to excite envy i'll their bosoms for
such things generally occrsion far more envy
than pleasure among rival householders.-
Those apartments of house which are most
used should receive the most attention. The
dining room and eeping apartments should
receive the most especial care, for on these
does the health, (and consequently the com-
fort and happiness) of the family pre-eni-
nently depend. In short, seek first your
own comfort, and the appearances" will
take care of themselves - '''

@ WHAT WE May EXPECT I,

E1 WHAT WE May ExpEor IN THE
SHAPE OF TAxEs.--Secretary Chase's letter
to chairman of the Senate Finance Commit
mlttee, dated on the 18th uIt;, will open the
eyes OF the people to what is coming. He
says that nothing short of taxation to the
amount of o1e,hat our expenditures" will
save the Government from bankruptcy and
RUIN. Now, as 1t is admitted on all hands
that our expenses are, at the very lowest es-
innate, one thousand millions per annun. il
is easy to perceive that, according to the
Secretary's published opinion, the enormous
sum of FIVE HUNDRED MILLIONS .
year must be raised BY taxation! Can the,
country stand this, is a pertinent question 2
This would require an average assessment Of

Seven Thousand Rebels Dead at
GettysburQ.

The Gettysburg (Pa) Star and Banner says:
"From evidence developed to the worknen
and others engaged in removeing the dead bodies
on the battle field, they, are now fully convinced
that not less than seven Thousand rebels lost
their lives in this conflict, the bodies of whom
are still there. In one space of three acres
were found three hundred and twenty five
Confederate slain; ard elsewhere, in a single
trench two hundred and fifty m"re con-
siderable portion Of the battle ground Is likely
to be plowed up this spring and summer. by
farmers owning it, preparatory to planting corn
and other grain. As q matter OF course, Con
federate graves must be oblitcrated. and the
trenches which now indicate their places.
There is strong desire with the peopis in
respect to humanity. to have these bodies,
though of the enemy. respectfully and decently
put away in some enclosure where they may
not be disturbed. One common humanity
should impel US to such step"

An Underground Railroad

As the following, for which We are in
debted to the ". Y Evening Post, was
news to US, probably it will be to a
majority of our readers. We had no
idea that an underground railroad fire
miles long, was in operation in London
The Post says:-An ingenious engineer
had already constructed a railroad from
the city to Blackwell, running over the
tops Of the houses, and trains drawn at
good speed by stationary engines; and
ut last i. occurred to some one to run
tunnel under the streets, and lay an iron
track in that Thorough trial has proved
this to be, on the whole, the safest,
pleasantest, cheapest plan-the greatest
relief to- the overcrowded streets, and
the most successful Of all that have been
tried, for the convenience Of trade and
passengers.
There is at present in London . tunnel
road five miles long, connecting Far
rington street with Paddington station;
double track is laid, and the company
has already carried about five millions
Of passengers. The tunnel is thorough
ly ventilated, dry, we'll lighted, and in
every way comfortable; to ride though it
is very much like walking through one
OF the great store cellars Of Broadway
dry goods honse. The rate Of speed
attained is twenty miles per hour. En-
trance and exit stations are provided at
short intervals, by q staircase leading to
the street above. aI
The success Of the Underground Rail
way in London has been so decided that
Parliament has chartered companies who
intend to surround the city with tunnel
roads, and connect all the railway sta
tons. 1t is said that twenty millions
sterling have already been subscribed
towards this vast enterprise. The cost
Of tunnelling and laying the track ready
for operation, is about . million dollars
per mile.

Anecdote Of Daughter of Cassius
M. CLAW.

A contributor sent the following narrative to
the Brooklyn Union:
Morgan's command was encamped near by,
when . hard looking customer. seated on the
back Of q sorry looking nag, might have been
seen entering the gateway OF an extensive do
main in Kentucky. He shambled off in great
haste 70 large barn standing at lit lie dis
lance from a spacious mansion. The horse and
rider had nearly reached the stable door when
the Juno-like figure Of young lady trlpped
along to the end Of piazza and beckoned him
to return. At this conjuncture l suspect the
rouge began to feel that he had gotten hinsei IL
into a scrape He half turned on his saddle.
and for a moment scrutinized the irate beauty;
then lowering his head and Illuminating a minute,
he turned his horse around and rode pack
Our two horsemen had BY this time reached
tho gate and were now within hearing dis
lance Of the foil living piquant colloquy:
"Wha. are you doing here"'
"Weli, Mss you see my horse IS tagged out,
and I'm q bound TO have another"
1T 50 happens ths am left alone this
morning and protest against it. Surely you
are too good a soldier to disregard the re-
monstrance Of lady.
"Sorry, Miss, but it can't be helped.-lf you
like I'll leave mine in place Of yours
'No, you will not"
At this stage of the proceedings the un-
relenting savage turned sharply away and rode
and his companion approached the lady. With
lowering brow and compressed lips,
"She stood a moment as Pythoness
Stands on her tripod, agonized and full
OF inspiration, gathered from Distress"
Suddenly she wheeled around and re-sn-
tered the door. She was gone but moment
and when she emerged again her slender waist
was encircled by patent leather bet, from the
edge OF which peeped out two ivory -handied
pistols She again stationed herself on the
edge of the portico meanwhile murmuring TO
herself in an undertone. Is if speaking to her
own 10 ut. perhaps he will not find me as
he thinks | am."
Presently the maraudsr made his appearance
once more in the adjoining Enclosure, astride
his own paltry pony. and leaiing by birdie
thrown over his arm one Of her fathers fvorite
horses. Like q falcon let loose she darted
ACROSS the lawn to partition fence, drew one
Of the piste II, and as her arm rested for mo-
ment on the topmost rail, the oninous click ;
was heard.
"Tthfs a strange quick jar upon the ear,
That cooking of pistol, when you know
moment will bring the sight TO bear
Upon your person twelve yards off, or So"
A IL timid creatures become paralyZcd when
the ear catches o very threatning sound. 30 1t
must have been with this valient transgressor.
Before the leaden messenger had sped its way
to meet him, he had refined up short and stood
stock still before the assaiAnt. She then took
deliberate aim and fired; and the ball struck his
cap fair in front, and sent it flying. You may
b sure added my youthful narrator the scamp
did not tarry long after that. He scampered off
sans horse, sans cap. very much after the
fashion of John Gilpin. The heroine of this
little story was the daughter Of the Hon.
Cassius NJ. Clay.
