A SHORT LOVE SToRY.--Here is . story
told by one Morgan, sea captain, con
corning the choice Of husband at sea
which may afford q profitable hint t.
young ladies en- voyage:
Single ladies often cross the water un'
der the especial care Of the captain Of the
ship, and il love affair occurs among the
passengers, the captain is usually the con.
fidante of one or both parties. A very
fascinating young lady had been placed
under Morgan's care, and three young
gentlemen fell desperately in love with
her. The were oil equally agreeable, and
the young lady w&s puzzled which to ess-
courage. She asked the captains advice.
"Ccme on deck" he said, "the first
day it is perfectly calm the gentlemen,
of course, will all be near you. ! will
have a boat quietly lowered down, and
do you jump overheard, and see which Of
the gentlemen will jump after you. ]
will take care Of you"
A calm day soon came. the captains
suggest ons were followed. and two Of the
lovers jumped after the lady at the in
slant. But between these two the lady
could not decide, so exactly had been
their devotion She had again consulted
the captain.
Take the man that didn't jump-he's
the more sensible fellow, and will make
the best husband"

The RIcn MANS CoUNTRY.-The Du.
buque Herald has well said that this has
got to be the rich mans country. when
legislation is wholly in his favor and
against the poor man. Never was great
er piece of rascality committed than has
been done in the case Of the bonds which
are now in the market. They are exempt
from taxation, and pay good interest
every six months; consequently we see
q great demand for them by all who are
able to invest all their fortunes in them.
Men are in some cases even selling their
real estate TO put their money in them,
and thus secure not only good revenue
but avoid all taxation.
The poor man is therefore taxed double.
He has not only to pay his own taxes,
but those which the rich man should pay.
He has not only to support himself, but
the government and rich man as well.
When the tax gatherer comes round,
as he does often now and stays lOng-Ons
of the bitter fruits of republican admin
iStratiOn--ths rich man returns his pro.
perty as so much in bonds, the tax gath
erer writes down exempt" and passes
on to the poor man, who has no bonds
and so must pay enough for both.
We don't believe this will last long. 1t
is too manifestly, Outrageously unjust to
be continued. The rich man is continu.
ally crying for protection and the aboli-
tiOn government is giving it to him, while
more sweat is extorted from the poor
man. It will be the first business of the
Democratic party to set these things right
That party has always been pre-eminent-
ly the poor mans party, and to that party
mus thel look for the redress of his wrongs.
