The Merriage Question

al am not afraid to live alone, -
sail q noble woman, "but 1 dare not
marry unworthily."
Is there no fine heroism here? I
think that to submit cheerfuily to
single life where circumstances have
bsen unkind, to choose it from high
sense of duty, or to accept it for the
sake of loyalty to high ideal, is as
brave thing as woman car do. But,
after all, the woman who does this
simply desires 70 urge her innocence
and her desire to be let alone. She
urges no claims upon admiration, de-
clining to be the target of crazy wit
and idle bufoonery.-Er.

The Income Tax.
March 8, 1859.

This jnquisitorial blackmail upon
every mans resources expires by it's
own limitation on the 3Oth of June
next. It has not fulfilled it's mission
of sxacting and successfully collect
ing an equally distributed tax upon
all the incomes of the country. In
many instances men of large incomes
by their system of Investments,
avoided the tax altogether. With
others the oath and schedules
Of property and resources are
false. The oath being looked upon
as q mere. matter OF form, carries no
moral force with 1t whatever, and the
list Of properties is generally about
AS near the truth IS any lie is. The
tax isregardsd As unequal, burden
some and as of but little real benefit
to the country. If it should not be
continued by Congress, it will go by
tie board and probably be the initial
load lifted from the shoulders of the
people, and the material wealth of the
country.
