Once upon time traveller stepped
into stage coach. He was young
man starting in life He found six pas
sengers about him, all gray headed and
extremely aged men. The youngest ap-
peared to have at least eighty winters.
Our young traveller, struck with the sim
gular mild and happy aspect which dis
tinguisbed all his fellow passengers, de-
termined to ascertain the secret of a long
life and art of making old age comfort
able !; he addressed the one apparently
the eldest who told him he had always
led a regular and absteminous life. eat
ing vegetables and drinking water. The
man was rather daunted at this, mas
much as he liked the good things of this
life. He addressed the second, who as
tonished him by saying that he had al
ways eaten roast beef, and gone to bed
regularly fuddled for the last seventy
years, adding that all depended on reg
ularity. The third had prolonged his
days by never seeking or accepting Office;
the fourth by resolutely abstaining from
all political or religious controversies ;
and the fifth by going to bed at sunset
and rising at dawn. The sixth was ap-
parently much younger than the other
fve-his hair was less gray and there
was more of it--a placid smile denoting
aperfectly easy conscience mantled his
face; and his voice was jocund and
strong.
They were all surprised to learn that
be was by ten years the oldest man in
the coach.
"How is it you have thus preserved
the freshness of life 2" exclaimed our
young traveller.

eaten me-. and vegetables have dab

and at noon." He then fixed his eyes

The Tax on Whiskey.

Both Houses Of Congress, on the Sd
inst, passed the Whiskey Tax bill. 1t
imposes tax of sixty cents per gallon
on all spirits which may be distilled and
sold, or distilled and removed for con-
sumption or sale, previous to the lst of
July, on which day the bill ceases to be
law. 1t also imposes an additional tax
of forty cents per gallon on imported spir-
its on hand. The sliding scale Of duties
on both domestic and foreign spirits, and
tax on the stock of domestic spirits on
hand, have no place in this bill. The
bill received the signature of the Presi
dent on the Sth, (Tuesday,) and is there
fore now a law of the land. Any tax
on the article of spirits, after the 1st Of
July, will have to be provided for by fu
ture legislation.
