THE PRICE OF TRUTH.

THE PRICE OF TRUTH.
Great truths dearly bought. The common truth.
Such men give and take from day 10 tlay,
Comes in the common walks of easy life,
Blown by the careless wind across our way.
Bought IN the Inark.H at the current price,
Bred of the smile th' lest perchance the bowl
1t tells no tales of iaring Of worth,
Nor pierces even the surface Of the soul.
Great truths greatly won Not formed by chanc
Not waited OF the breath OF summer dream;
But graSped In the great struggle of the soul.
Hard buff1tug with adverse wind and stream.
Not in the general mart. mid corn and wine;
Not in the merchandise OF geld and gems
Not in the worlds gay hall of midnight Ipirtn,
Nor md the blaze Of regal dladens.
But in the day of conflict. fear and grief
When the strong hand of God. put forth in might,
Ploughs up the sutSOil of the stagnaut heart,
And brings the imprisoned truth-seed to the hight.
Wrung from the troubled spirit, in hard hours
OF weakness solitude. ptrchauce of paIn
Truth springs, like harvest, from the weil-poughed
field,
And the fresh soul feels it has not wept in vain.

a Lesson of Trust.

Some time ago Il boy was discovered
in Ciairborn street, evidently bright
and intelligent, but sick. A man who
bias the feeling Of kindness strongly
developed went TO him, shook him by
the shoulder, and asked him what he
Was doing there .
Waiting tor God to come for me"
said he.
"W hat do YOU mean said the gen
tleman, touched by the pathetic tone
of the answer and the condition of the
boy, in whose eye and flushed face he
saw the evidences of fever.
"GOd sent for mother and father and
little brother" said he, "and took them
away to His home up in the sky, and
mother told me when she was sick
that God would take care of me, [
have no home, nobody to give me any
thing, and so | came out here, and
have been looking so long up in the
sky for God to cone and take care, of
me, us mother said He would. lie will
come, won't he? Mother never told
me u liz"
'Yes, my lad," said the man overs
come with emotion, "He has sent me
to take care of you"
You should have seen his eyes fash
and the smile of triumph break over
his face as he said "Mother never
told me lie, sir, but. you have been SO
long on the way"
What Il lesson of trust, and how this
incident shows the effect of never de-
ceiving children with tales

WAYS and means committee aud as
most Of the important facts aud figures
have hreu published before, possesses
very littIc interest rendered still less

House gets through with 1T. Among
the facts stated, however was the cot

enue of Si40O0,000 or an increase
over the tax at present enforced OF sos

that two million bales will be raised
this wear subject to the tax, and it IS
Mr.. Morrills opinion that, nOtwith-
standing the want of good seed and the
changed system OF labor, the amount
will be greater rather than less than
this. In regard 10 the high rate OF tax
on spirits and malt liquors, which It Is
not proposed to change, though the
revenue commission recommended re-
duction and demonstrated that thus a
larger Tevenue would be received, Mr..
Morrill, said that the committee wished
to have the law Of high rates in Ope-
ration a sufficient length of time to test
its real value for revenue purposes, and
incidentally its value as mode OF re-
preston in the consumption of intoXi-
eating beverages. Believing the true
theory of taxation is that no distinctions
should be made as to persons in the
rates of taxation, recognizing no class
for special favors, and creating for nc
class special burdens majority Of the
committee agreed to make the income
tax after this year a uniform one ofhvt
per cent, though the loss to the revenue
by cutting down the rate from 10 pei
cent for allincomes over $4,000, will b.
$l7,000,000. IL is also proposed to eX
empt the first 81, 200, instead Of $500 q
now and if the income tax is to be re
tanned permanently, Mr., Morrill, de
clared that it would need further fun

Congress- oual Representation AT

One 0! the amendments TO the Consti-
tuition, proposed by the Reconstruction
Committee, provides that representatives
in { 7gress shall he apportioned among
the $, eral STA -es according to popula-
ton kept luat when "in any State

any por5iou OF It's male citizens not less
than twenty-one years of age or in any

in the -ebellion or other crimes, the ba-
sis o. representation in such State shall
be reduced in the proportion which the
number OF such male citizens shall bear
TO the whole number of male citizens
not less than twenty-one years Of age
This g Intended OF course, to prevent
the counting Of the blacks in the appor
tionment Of representatives TO any State,
unless the right Of suffrage is conferred
upon them by such State. 1t becomes
an interesting subject Of inquiry what
reduction this amendment, if adopted,
will Cause z the number of representa-
tives rom the Southern States, so long
rs those States persist in excluding the
blacks from the polls. The amount Of
the reduction has been differently esti-
mated by members of Congress, but we
presume the following from the New
York Tribune, is as accurate as the cal
culation can now be made. 1t is bas,d
upon the Ger sus of 1850, and a new Gen.
sus might modify the figures somewhat.
The first column gives the population
OF the slave states in 1860; the second
column the voters in 1860; the third
column presents the number of male
citizens OF color above the age Of u
the fourth column the present number
of members each state is entitled to, and
the last The number to which she will be
entitled when the proposed law shall
have been carried into effect.

THR BoMBARDMRsr or VALPARAISO
The Spanish Admiral Nunez, who bonn
barded Valparaiso, has written de-
spatch, which is given in full in the
Spanish paper in New York. The mar
rative of Admiral Nunez does not give
a materially different account from those
already published, except that he rep
resents the American and English naval
authorities as rather approving his &C
ton than passlvely Witnessing 1t. He
describes the efforts Of Commodore
Rogers to effect paciacation, and the
Commodore's announcement that he
should probably feel compelled to OPP
pose the bombardment by force, which
lead only to assurances from Nuuez that
he should execute his orders. The lat
ter afterwards adds -
"0n the same day, the 10Th, | was
once more visited by the American Com
modore accompanied by the Secretary
of Legation, with the apparent purpose
of handing the reply to my commune
cation. On doing So he said that hi
had intended to oppose the lombard
meut of Valparaiso by force, because hi
was at the time convinced that SPAR
could not lawfully do so, and that Chill
was in the right but that subsequent!
he had arrived at the conclusion tina
right, moderation and dignity were OF
the side of Spain wherefore, ne no
only should not oppose anything, bu
that his ships would move out Of tn
way at o'clock in the morning Of Ch

Retribusiye Justice.

The following remarks, from Charles
ton Is. C.) paper, made in the course Of
an article on the Presidents peace pro-
clamation, tells truthfully the condition
of almost every state which engaged in
the late rebellion:
"Once more in the old places; but
alas not as they were of old. The
homes, the happy homes, are gone We
meet ruins instead of dwellings: wrecks
instead of shrines; waste instead of
fruitfulness famine in place Of plenty,
and a people wandering as vagabondS,
who, but little while ago, were cheer
full and contented laborerS in fields
which grew beautiful and Verdant be-
meath their hands. Their homes, the
peace. the plenty, the happiness, the
beauty Of the home and the loneliness OF
a symmetrical society are all departed
There are the ruined walls Of the dis.
mantled dwelling. For thirty years we
knew that home as the seat of elegant
hospitality. There the stranger had
graceful welcome; the waytarer fOunC
his bed and supper, and breakfast il
the morning, and a new staff was put
into his hands on his departure to sus
tain his tottering footsteps on his way
And there Learning and study had theil
haunts, so that every great oak, bearded
with moss as a priest of the Druids, be
came conSecrated seat, if not temple
and for these halls, gratefully brigh
with lamps at evening, the winged
strains of delicious music from piano
melodeon, guitar or flute, gave forth tn
most perfect evidence of the genial, tn
refined the cultivated and the Iovin:
souls who dwelt therein. Alas alas
the song ofMoors is feeble one-rathe

Who treads alone

Whose lights are fed,
Whose garlands dead,
And all but him departed. "


"Pretty enough, but how unequal to
the picture of this grand desoation
how unworthy Of that passionate wrestle
with a matchless agony, which tries
every muscle of the soul, and shakes hu-
mainly from her centre, as under the
CONFUSION OF a universal earthquake.
And, as if reluctant to grace with her
blooms, the dishevelled walks, the
wretched ruins, and the deserted places,
Nature herself seems to reCOil from her
usual humane offices which seek to hide
the scars of desolation, and to cover,
with her buds and blossoms, and clothe
with her wandering vines and gorgeous
lichens, the wrecks Of ruin which startle
you at every footstep, and make you
turn with shuddering to see if the dead
Past is not staring over your shoulder
in all its ancient grave clothes. The
Spring is laggard. The trees are slowly
and, seemingly, with sense Of melan-
choly reluctance, putting on the bios

that desolation which they do not share
To-day, however, we gather daisies -
their bright little eyes looking up to our
own in love, and silently teaching such
lessons Of faith in God and His seasons
as human lips do not often utter. How
significant are these which we now be-
hold, springing as they do not only from
the ruins of the homestead, but from the
lowly graves of the departed dear onesr
