Profit from Taxes.

Some parties who are grumbling at the high
taxes imposed on articles they manufacture,
may find some crumbs ofcomfort in the follow
ing interview OF a manufacturer with member
of Congress.
Monuf.-l come on, sir, to get relieffrom an
oppressive burden on my branch of business
There are particular reasons why the article
make should be exempted from the three per
cent tax.
NJ C.-What amount do you manufactul
annually?
Mon,J.-One hundred thousand dollars
WORTH on which / pay three thousand dollars
H. C.-And you reckon the tax you pay as
part of the cost your article, and add it TO the
price, do you notP
MDnnf.-Why-yes, sir.
NJ C.-What average profit do you calculate
10 make on your goods9
M0nuf.-Fifteen per cent.
NJ C.-Then you make fifteen per cent. OF
the amount you pay in taxes, which, if 10 bt
three thousand dollars, will give you four nun.
dred and fifty dollars more profit than you
would get if you paid no taxes. Is it not so ?
The gentleman had no answer prepared to

tion, prisoners, rebel guns and rebel hags-and
how they at last intrenched in advance of the
line of the night before. In those intrench-
ments they have now burrowe ed two DAYS. no
man standing erect save at his peril, all living
on hard bread and water-for it is impossible
in those narrow trenches to prepare meat and
coffee. Naturally the time hangs little heay-
~ when, as sometimes heppens, nothing that
may be shot at is seen for an hour or two
During one of these intervals this morning, one
man conceived brilliant scheme, which, un-
folded to his comrades, was instantly adopted.
Every man loads his piece and points it over
the parapet or through one OF the many small
PORTFOLIOS made by placing ammunition boxes
in the wall. Then the author Of the plan be-
gins to shout orders as though commanding at
leas, a brigade:
Colonel, connect yeur line with the 47th-
Give way to the right. Close ranks. Right
dress. Elk bayonets. Double-quick. Charger
Instantly FIVE hundred men rise into plain
sight behind the rebel works, expecting to see
an advancing line. Not so, but five hundred
men from safe cover fire upon them on the in
slant. The volley, which must have inflicted
considerable loss, is followed up with cheers
aud jeers, laughter aud much chatting, ms =
"What do y think o. Yaal ce tricks ?" "That's
the way John Browns soul marches on" mo
use O. 6oitin' hooks when you're fishing for
gudgeons."
The trick has been repeated several times
during the day, with ingenious variations al
ways TO crowded houses, and always eliciting
much applause from the performers.

votes n column to "The Decentralization of

PoLITENEss.-If you have an enemy, and an
opportunity offers TO benefit him in matters
great or small, act like gentleman, and do
him good service without hesitation If you
would know what it is to feel noble, and "sirong
within yourself" do this secretly and keep it
secret. A man who can act thus will soon feel
at ease anywhere. 1t is said of Callot, an emf
nent French artist and engraver Of the seven
teenlh century, that he was once slandered in a
pasquinade bya certain noblemqn of the court:
AT that time, TO have ones portrait engraved
by Caot was an object of ambition with the
highest dignitaries of the kingdom, and 1t was
attained by very few. Callol's answer to the
injury was to publish superbly executed like
ness of his enemy, with an inscription setting
forth his titles and great deeds. To this day
the incident is cited as an instance OF proud
nobility of soul. Callot was in the highest
sense polite. Politeness is shown by passing
over the faults and foibles of those whom YOU
meet Cultivate this especially towards rela-
tives. The world is severe in its judgment of
those who expose the faults of kindred, no mat
ter what the proyocalon may be. Vulgar fam
lilies are almost always at feud. II IS not polite
to detail injuries which you may have received
from any one, unless there exist some urgent
necessity for so doing.
