An Original Income Return.

The following is a copy of a return for
warded to an Assistant Assessor in the Sew
enth United States Internal Revenue Dis
trict of Massachusetts,:
Dear Sir-In acknowledging the receipt
of the blanks which you were so kind as to
leave at my residence, l have to say that,
however much l may regret the fact 1T is
nevertheless true, that my financial standing
does not, and from all appearance will not,
allow me to assist in lubricating the wheels
of the government. l cannot refrain, how
ever, from filling the blanks as requested.
l have some little property, and although
not enumerated in the printed sheet, will
you allow me, if for nothing else than my
own qualification, to place them in my as
sets: fi"e'ri Z
One little bay mare named Gu sound
and kind in all harness, stands without tying,
and eats any thing, and but of little value.
A buggy, not yet paid for, though good
for several years. 1t is now repairing /
l have also dog, FIVE cats, and two pigs,
and the sexes of the latter are equally repre-
sented. -"ii-
Judging from the past, am free to say
that if keep the pigs through the summer,
| shall be obliged to call upon the United
the world do get along, and am happy only
when | know that rich man cannot enter
the kingdom of Heaven. ss....
My clothes are all second handed, and my
boots are aboutgone. No tailor has made me
a suit for years and since the publishing Of
Income Returns was commenced, my credit
has been sadly shaken. But, being poor,
but hope and strive, and work, and wish,
and, better than all, l am happy. Find
the man who pays his twenty thousand in
come, then come and visit me, and Judge
yourself of "life among the lowly,p and
which is the happier.
When my boy grows up, l hope ne may
excel his father in financial ability, Of
which no one who knows me doubts, and
that you, Mr.. -, may live long enough to
visit him for many years to collect his in
come tax. Yours, DC.

Marriage.

The editors of the New York EUeniny
Gazette have been asked by some of their
young lady readers if they believed with
the Apostle Paul that it is best not to marry.
To this query they reply as follows:
Yes and no, dear girls. That depends up
on circumstances. A husband is like q
blacksmiths largest hammer, in being very
handy and useful article to have bout, if
you need it and can manage it and very use
less and nsdIdpropOs if you don't and can't.
Speaking chemically, marriage is mixing
the oil and water of opposite tastes, unless
the alkali of genuine love be added, in which
case you have, soap and smoothness, and glide
through life easily. Or we may vary the
expression a little, and may say that love is
a solvent and unites. 1t is indispensable, ii
is delightful, it is powerful ;but the trouble
is, that great many people are apt to mis-
take a weak solution Of sentiment and ro-
nance for genuine extract whose bower and
flavor will last through life. Don't be in a
hurry to try these chemical experiments fOr
yourselves, dear enquirers-check aprons are
better than chignons, and housekeeping
should be studied under mama's tuition be-
fore you try chemistry under your own.
In this matter don't be eager to take time by
the forelock, lest he roughly take off your
own locks, the boom from your cheeks and
the light from, your eyes. zlaYf9

The Reauty Of old People.

Men and woman make their own beauty

business to be - and If he could but read it,
every human being carries his own life in
his face, and is good looking or the reverse
as that life has been good or evil-On our
features the fine chisel Of thought and emo
ton is eternally at work. Beauty is not the
monopoly Of blooming young men, and Of
white and pink maidens.--There is a slow
growing beauty which only comes to pre-
lection in old age. Grace belongs to no pc
riod of life, and goodness improves the long
