The Tax Bill,

Somebody proposes the following
new amendment to the tax bill:
For kissing a pretty girl, one dollar
For kissing hOmely one, two dol
lars, the extra amount being added
probably for a mans folly.
For ladies kissing one another, two
dollars. The tax is placed at this rate
in order to break up the custom alto
gether, it being regarded by our M.
C.'s rs piece ofinexcusable absurtGty
For every Irritation, ten cents.
Every young man who has more
than one girl, is taxed five dollars.
For counting in the kitchen, twenty
five cents.
Courting in a parlor, one dollar.
Counting in a romantic place, five
dollars, and fifty cents for each offence
thereafter.
Seeing n lady home from church,
twenty five cents.
Going from church without accom-
panying a lady, five dollars.
Seeing lady home from the Mite
Society, five cents, the proceeds to be
devoted to the relief Of disabled army
chaplains.
For ladies who paint, fifty cents.
For wearing low-necked dress, ono
dollar.
For each curl on lady's head above
ten, five cents.
For any unfair device for entrapping
young men into matrimony, five dol
lars.
For wearing hoops larger than eight
feet in circumference, eight cents fog
each hoop.
Old bachelors over thirty are taxed
ten dollars and banishod to Utah.
Each pretty lady to be taxed from

The Crops.

Having been absent for several
weeks in the States of Alabama, Louis
lana and Mississippi, and having made
inquiry in reference to the PLANTING
prospects, in these States, it is our firm
conviction that there will not be q half
crop of cotton made the present year,
as compared with the year 1860.
Leaving the labor question out entire
ly, the paucity of laborers engaged in
the cultivation Of cotton-there are
several causes why n good crop may
not be expected. The failure Of seed
to germinate, and produce healthy
plant, in many instances, after coming
up, will render it certain that no more
than two-third crop will be produced
on the lands in cultivation. In many
portions of the country, especially in
that part of Mississippi lying on the
river between Vicksburg and Natchez
where good "stands" have come up,
the rains have been so incessant as to
prevent planters from keeping down
the grass, and thinning out. We saw
instances where the stand was good,
but SO overgrown with grass as to OBJ
scure the cotton from sight.
In passing from New Orleans to
Natchez, the eye is met with one con-
tinued scene Of desolation. In that
whole distance it does not seem there
are 5000 acres Of land under cultiva-
ton. Now and then a small belt of
land is planted in sugar cane; but in
the main, the whole country is either
overtiowed or left uncultivated-no in
dications of thrift or industrydiscerned
as far as the eye can penetrate. No
one who has not seen that country can
have proper conception of the desc
lation and ruin that prevail. Wes saw
enough from the river, in ascending
and descending, to fill our heart with
gloom; but to see the overfOwed
country in its true condition, we are
informed, one must leave the river, and
visit those parishes from twenty to
thirty miles from its banks, where the
waters have found their way by the
giving away of the levecs. The people,
in many instances, are starving-all
they had having been destroyed

THE BLACK RAM.
From The Land we LOvc.]

From The Land we Lovc.l
Esop, or some other writer of ia.
bles, relates the following:
In the Island of Crete there dwelt
formerlya feeble but plucky little fe.
low, who owneda black ram, which he
had reared with his family, and which
was the pet Of his children. 1t played
with them, hauled them In little wag-
on, and in thousand ways showed its
fondness for them. But three of the
neighbOrs of the little man had long
looked with an evil eye at his comfort
and enjoyment, and came to him say
ing, 1--WE wish to sacrifice to our God,
and have come for your black ram,
which was born for nobler things than
merely to contribute to your happiness,
But the owner said: II and my chill
dren love the black ram, and are not
willing to see it slain; besides, your
God is not our God, why then should
we make an oblation for you? I wiH
not give up my black ram" And then
he made so fierce an assault upon his
three robust neighbors, that he intimi.
dated them, and they sent great way
off and got four great hulking fellows
to help them. And they put these bul.
lies in the forefront, and they fell upon
their weak neighbor, knocked him
down and trampled him under foot.
Those neighbors Of the little man, who
loved him and worshipped the same
God, condemned his hot temper and
rash impetuosity, and thought that u
good pounding would make him bet,
ter citizen. So they stood quietly by
while the four bullies were beating and
the three neighbors were pushing them
on from behind.
Now when the three neighbors saw
that the little man could resist no lon
ger, they took the places of the four
bullies and beat away till they were
wearicd. Then they made great
feast, and sacrificed the black ram to
their God.
The orators of Crete celebrated the
hcroism of the three neighbors. the
poets sang of their generosity in giving
the black ram, which belonged to their
as Il whole burnt offering TO
their God, and the priests laid their
hands upon the heads Of these men
and blessed them for their pcty. But
no man cNtoilcd the pluck of the poor
little fellow lying bleeding III the dust.

a Love Epistle.

We publish the subjoined specimen
of photography and syntax and pune
tuation because we have been requested
to. 1t is an exact copy Of the original
except that the names are suppressed
1t will, doubtless, amuse some, but We
feel more like pitying the ignorance OF
the writer Charity should pity rather
than make merry, for we all do not
have equal chances for acquiring an ed
ucation, and God himself unequally
distributes talents.
We are not going to moralize, we
are no cynic, but merely have said this
much, lest no comment should have
falsified our view Of what is interesting
matter. But there is one instructive
lesson to be drawn from reading this
letter, and that is: How little is money
worth compared to an education, and
the latter will win a sensible woman's
heart where the former would fail.

Destiny of the Blacks Of the
South.

The New York Evening Post, in al
luding to the various speculations con
cerning the fate of the blacks, very
sensibly sums up the matter as fol-
lows:
If they do not work they will starve
if they cannot, having an equal chance
compete with white men in any calling
or branch of business, they will by and
by find out what they can do best, and
then they will do that Meantime. il
politicians and newspaper philosophers
will only leave them alone, and be con
tent to pay them for what service they
get from them, as they do other men,
the whole negro question will settle
itself. And it has got in the end to
settle itself---no amount of stirring will
settle il.
