STRUGGLES FOR LIFE.
BY AUGUSTA MOORE

l started up one winters night,
All in mighty fiutter,
And vowed that thenceforth would earn
My salt and bread and butter.
And first thought I'd keep school,
And then thought would MT;
For cause hate to try to rule,
And cause knew ! could nj.
And then | thought I'd keep q store
In some great town or city;
For if 1 could MT measure silks
And laces twas pity,
But standing on my feet all day
Was more than pleased my fancy;
feared to sink into my shoes,
Like Ruben's sister Nancy.
80 then l thought I'd write a book,
And be u famous poet;
This was the maddest scheme Of all;
But then did MT know it.
| went and bought pound of lea,
Green as could DESIRE,
And made it strong, and drank it hot,
My genius to inspire
1t scalded as forced it down,
But ! was bent on trying
My project through, though il was hard
To keep myself from crying.
But when the hot and bitter dose
Was resolutely swallowed,
I sat all night with pen in hand
And not one stanza foRooed.
Oh, it was haTd and ON the theme
I do not dare to tarry;
My hopes were crushed, my courage gone
What could do but marry?
And so, when Reuben asked again
If he his wife might make mo,
really felt relieved, and said
"ohl yes, 1 thank you; take me. "

Unnecessary Expenses.
Among the appropriations Of Congr

Among the appropriations of Congress
at its last session is the following:
e For salaries and expenses Of collec-
tors, assessors, assistant assessors, revenucl
agents, inspectors and superintendants of
exports and drawback, together with the
expenses Of carrying into effect the forty
fourth section of the internal revenue act
of June thritieth, eighteen hundred and
sixty. four, and all other expenses of car
rying into effect the various provisions
Of the several acts providing Internal
revenue, except salaries of Commission
er. Deputy Commissioner and clerks of
Internal revenue Office, together with
rent, dies, paper, etc, for stamps, and in
eidental expenses. ten millions eight hun
lred thousand dollars"
An annual expenditure of ten millions
eight hundred thousand dollars for only a
portion Of single branch of the revenue
service! The other portions of the In
ternal revenue service not included in
this appropriation, together with commits
sions will not ainonnt to less than ten
millions more-making in all twenty mil
lions a year to be paid for the collection
of the Internal revenue alone. This is
more than the entire expenses of the Gen
eral Government for the first twelve years
of it's existencn. 1t is more than the an
nual expenses of the Government during
the last war with Great Britain and equal
to the annual expenses of the Govern
ment until the country had over twenty
millions inhabitants-two-thirds as many
as at present 1t il more than the cost
of all the State Governments in the Un-

taxation with which the people are borne
down? The Constitution says, Direct
taxes shall be apportioned among the sew

portioned to the States and collected with

State authority, three Iourths of the eos

4 MODEL CBARGE.-A Justice of the
peace the other day delivered the follow
ing harangue to jury sitting upon case
being tried before him:
IF, the jury believe. from the evidence
that the plaintiff and defendant were
partners in the grocery, and that the
plaintiff bought out the defendant, aud
gave his note for the interest, and the
defendant paid for the note by delivering
to the plaintiff a COW, which he warran-
ted not breaehy, and the warranty was
broken by reason ofthe breachiness of the
COW, and he drove the COW back and ten
dered her to the defendent who refused
to receive her, and the plaintiff took her
home again, and put heavy yoke OF
poke upon her to prevent her from jump
ing the fence, and by reason Of the yoik
or polk she broke her neck and died and
if the jury further believe that the defen-
dant's interest in the grocery was worth
anything. the plaintiffs note was worth
less, aud the COW good for nothing, either
for beef or milk, then the jury must find
out for themselves how they viii decide
the case; for the court, ifshe understands
herself, and she thinks she do. is at con
siderable nonplus how such case should
be exactly decided.

lMPEAcHMENT.--Mr. Bingham, one Of
the Ohio Congressman, went so far in a
recent speech as to say that if he was re-
elected:

peachment against Andrew johnson"
Wendell Phillips is also out on the
same thing, says the New York Day
Book, and he is usually only about SIX
weeks ahead Of his party. A few weeks
ago the impeachment of President John
son was only limited, now it is Openly
avowed. But the question will arise, car
a Congress composed of only a portion O
the States impeaeh a President? vii
Mr.. johnson consent to be set aside by
Northern Congress +? And if the Mon
grels try it, won't it make a muss among

will be in operation at Oswego inside o.
ten years from now. The Pittsburg

"CowARDLY and contemplate copper
head" is the amiable language of a dis
loyal radical newspaper concern ia Alton,
with reference to the gallant Colonel
Morrison, Democratic candidate for Con-
gress on the 18th Illinois District.
Colonel Morrison fought at Fort Don
nelson and in several other engagements,
under General Grant. Upon rendering
his resignation, Gen. Grant declined to
accept it, and forwarded it TO the depart
ment with the following endorsement !:
Respectfully forwarded to the head

"BEsT GOVERNMENT" During tie
progress of the late war it was impossible
to approach knot of loyal gentleman but
our ears were saluted with a pancgyricism
of the "best government the sun ever
shone upon," accompanied with lifted
hands und upturned eyes in holy horror
at the wickedness, blindness and folly Of
the Southerners who didn't "see it in that
light" but now these same loyal gentle
men are shocked at the very idea that
any body should be SO wicked as to desire
to have that same chest government re.

Charleston Convention, after it refused te

Findley, and came to this place and open

He continued in the practice of the law

Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, has
yot religion, says the Union Democrat
At least the papers state that he has
'professed religion" and attached him.
elf to some Puritanical Church of that
State All the churches Of the land and
Il his professions of christianity will not
lter our opinion of him in the least, or
make him a better man. His shielding
himself within the portals of church
will not save him from the contempt and
bhorrence in which he is held by all who
not believe in Boston morality and
Massachusetts, politics. He has been a
eader among those who have brought
pom the county its present calamities,
| nd as long as the memory of the last six
ears lives in the hearts of the people his
ame will be detested and abhorred.-
Perhaps he has found congenial company
