INTERNAL REVENUE DEcIsIoN.-There has
been considerable misunderstanding between
the internal revenue collectors and certain law
yers, claim agents and others, the latter con-
tending that the Internal Revenue act did not
require them to take out individuals licenses
when they were members of firms, their copart-
nership licenses being considered sufficient
The collectors took the opposite view, aod the
matter was referred for adjudication to United
States Commissioner Osborn, who yesterday
rendered his opinion, deciding that persons Of
the classes in question required by the law to
have individual as well as copartnership licenses.

SEDUCTION AND MURDER.-A telegram
to the n Y. Herald from Nashville, of the 9th
ult, says:
One of the most horrible tragedies ever re-
corded was enacted here this evening, resulting
in the murder of Captain NJ S. Allen, by H. B.
Payne, and the wounding OF a citizen named
Coehrane The circumstances are as follows
About one year ago Allen seduced Payne's
WIFE Last winter Payne sued for and obtained
divorce from his wife, but swore he would xii.
Allen. About six o'clock this evening Payne
met Allen at No. 81, South College street, and
Immediately drew a revolver, firing three times,
the first shot taking effect in Aliens shoulder.
The second shot missed Allen and wounded
Coohrane severely in the band and thigh. The
third shot broke Aliens third rib OF the left
side, passing through his heart, and, of course.
caused instant death, The affair caused great
excitement, as both parties were among the old
est and wealthiest citizens. Payne is in Jail
swaiting his trial The corouers jury rendered
verdict according to the above facts.

THE IMPORTANCE OF LABOR.

Many of our young men and young women
seem 10th to 60 to work. Too many young
men are looking for clerkships, or for something
to happen by which they can live without man
ual labor. Young men, you are burning, wast+
ing precious daylight You will haze to work,
and the sooner you begin the better y popu-
lation will soon crowd in here, from the North
and from Europe, that will outstrip you, and
leave you as drones in the great hive, unless you
90 to work noso. BY beginning no,o you can
place yourselves in a situation to compete
with the population referred to; but if with
your habits, and your ideas of labor, you wait
until that population pours 10, and you then
take only an even start with it, you will be left
hopelessly behind.
No ore should be ashamed Of labor It
heightens the bloom of the young woman, and
is pledge that she will make good wife. The
habit Of labor thus formed, she will impart to
her children, and they will be 'jewels" indeed,
if reared in the practice of industry temperance,
and the fear of God Diligence in business is
crown of glory to the young man. He may
be humble in mis- circumstances, and may feel
at times that no one thinks of or regards him;
but let him toll on, conquering by labor and
maintaining a good character for integrity and
morality, and applying himself, whenever he
can, to his books, and measure of success will
at length be his, for which he had not even
hoped in the outset. Poor young men, strug-
CLING to better their condition, often think that
they not noticed or appreciated by the lead
ing, substantial men Of the community. In
this they are mistaken. In almost every in
stance they are known, and talked of, and the
time at last comes when they are taken by the,
hand and led up higher in the sphere OF life1

1t conquers everything. The power of applica-
I ton, physical and mental, made Benjamin
Franklin, Roger Sherman, Henry Clay, Thomas
Francis p. Blair, Abraham Lincoln, and An
renown. Whenever we hear that young men
are complaining of hard labor, and that they are
disposed TO regard it as dshonorable, we feel
, like saying to them, ''Look at Abraham Lin
coin, the rail-spltter, and Andrew johnson, the
tailor, and at Gov. Holden, the printer; and go
thou and do likewise"
Slavery has been abolished, and our young
men and young women can no longer depend on
slave labor. If they will realize at once their
situation, in this and other respects, and will go
to work, and cultivate habits of industry and
selfreliance, it will turn out, in the end, that
the abolition of slavery has been blessing rath
er than an injury to them. But work they
must, or they will become the interiors of the
thrifty and energetic populations that will soon
pour 10; and instead of controlling society and
the affairs of the land of their birth, they will
find themselves poor and without influence.
This is the truth. We feel that it is good ad-
vice, and we trust it will be taken and acted on,
