It has been claimed by the Democrat
ic press Of the country, that the Nation
al Banks were not taxed at all and that
their adjustment would save the gov
eminent from twenty to thirty millions
of interest per year. The falsity of this
assertion is very manifest by the last re-
port of the United States Treasurer
According to that report, the semi-an-
nual duty recovered from the National
Banks during the last fiscal year is 80
657,616. The amount collected from
the Banks by the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau, not included in the foregoing is
86,425, 966. This shows an aggregate
of over fifteen million dollars per year,
paid to the government in the shape of
taxes, by the National Banks. This is
an item that would be felt in reducing
the debt, if applied to that purpose.

By Y. HOWE PEYToN.
] saw her in her beauty's spring,
Amaz'd gazed in mute surprise,
Oh who can trace the heavenly grace
OF Madgie with the violet eyes.
The roses, strove upon her cheek,
Her smile betrayal no cold disguise;
Aad glorious truth strengthened the youth
or Nadgie with the violet eyes.
NV soul was dark-bnt like CLEAN
OF forked lightning Ger the skies,
4 form of light dispelPd its night
Twas Madgie's Of the violet eyes,
a stood beneath the summers moon;
splendid sight! I saw her rise
But wan she grew, when near me drew
Sweet Madgie Of the violet eyes.
My heart beat high, my voice was husk,
could not all conceal my signs;
For naught above doth kindlelove
Like Madgie of the violet eyes.
Maiden, said, with stammering tongue,
s.The future all before me lies;
No height sublime I'd fear to climb
For Madgie Of the violet eyes,
s.The starry hosts our witnesses!
Be thou for me the glorious prizef
I'd SILVER lance for every glance
Of Madgie with the violet eyes,"
Il know thy love, ask no proof,
Timidly bold the maid replies
s.lf thou art mine, then l am thine"
