Taxation in the United States and En-.
gland

The taxation in the United States, SAYS
the Cincinnati Enquirer, is now about
sixteen dollars for each person, to defray
the Federal expenses alone. This taxa
ton is collected on sixteen thousand ar.
ticles Of domestic and foreign consump-
ton. AT the time Mr.. Chases internal
revenue bill went into effect the London
Times well said of it, "That it was In its
scope a complete inventory of every
thing upon the earth, above the earth
and beneath the earth"
In England they raise their taxation
from about sixty articles. The difference
between the two systems is thus properly
alluded to by the New York Times, which
says: m.
The relative influence Of the two sys-
TENS upon enterprise and industry may
be readily understood One system is
economical in its administration, affords
narrow scope for fraud, falls lightly upon
the working classes, and he is scarcely
discernible in the movements of capital
or the operations ofindustry. Our pres
ent system, on the contrary, requires an
army of Office holders to manage it, pro
vides endless opportunities for evasion
and fraud, cuts down the comforts and
even the necessaries of the million, and
deranges and damages every industry in
the land" ,.-.........s -a.4.nur-.
In further criticism upon the miserable
and short sighted policy Of its own party
fnanciers, for the Times is Republican, it
adds:
" Instead Of so distributing it that it
should be felt in the least possible degree
--thatit should leave enterprise un:ram-
meled and labor comparatively at liberty
the system which is in operation makes
itself visible everywhere, and forms
drag from which no device Of industry
can escape. 1t Itpermeates every branch
of production, cripplng its power, and
fostering the evils which make themselves
manifest in depressed trade and the dis
content that pervades the working
classes ....I. ,..r

LH- A YOUNG LADY returning to her
country home, after sojourn of 4 few months
in the city, was hardly recognised by her
friends. In place of a coarse. rustic, flushed
face, she had a soft ruby complexion of almost
marble smoothness. and instead of twenty
three she really appeared but eighteen. Upon
inquiry as to the cause of so great change,
she plainly told them that she used the Cir
cassian Balm, and considered it an invalua-
bic acquisition to any Lady's toilet. BY its
use any lady or gentleman can improve their
personal appearance an hundred fold. 1t IS
simple i'm its combination, as Nature herself
is simple, yet unsurpassed in its efficacy in
drawing impurities from, also healing. cleans
ing and beautifying the skin and pleXion.
BY its direct action on the cuticlc it draws
from it all its impurities kindly healing the
same and leaving the surface as nature in
tended it should be, clear, soft smooth and

For restoring hair upon bald heads from
whatever cause it may have fallen ont) and
forcing Il growth Of hair upon the face, it has
no equal. 1t will force the beard to grow up
on the smoothest face lii from five TO eight
weeks, or hair upon bald heads in from two
to three months. A few ignorant practicion-
ers have asserted that there is nothing that
will force or hasten the growth of the hair OF
beard Their assertions are false. as thous-
andS of living witnesses from their own eN-
perience) can bear witness. But many will
say. how are we to distinguish the genuine
from the spurious? 1t certainly is difficult, as
nine-tenths of the different Preparations ad-
vertised for the hair and beard entirely
worthless. and you may have already thrown

How TO GET Up EARLY.-Place basin
of cold water by the side of your bed /,
when you first awake in the morning, dip
your hands in and wet your brows, and
sleep will not again seal you in its treacher
Gus mbrace. This is the advice given by
an aged man, who had been in the habit Of
rising early during long life.
BY attending to this advice, you may
learn to rise every morning at five o'clock.
The editor has found it a better plan to 90
to bed at one regular hour. Leave your bed
the moment you awake yourself, after day
light; nature will thus regulate the sleep
to the exact amount required by the sys-
