Too much care cannot be exercised
in the selection of the books we read.
It is q fact we'll known to those who
have given attention to this subject
that the influence exerted upon the
mind by certain class of works is al
most as enervating as indulgence in the
ordinary rounds of dissipation A con-
firmed novel reader, one who has so ac-
customed himself to the excitement
produced by reading works of fiction
and to the day-dreaming that is sure
to follow, is no more competent to hold
his mind firmly upon any given subject
than is the drunkard able to hold his
hand steady. 1t may be regarded as a
serious question whether the circulat.
ing libraries that pander so largely to
this vltiated taste are not doing more
harm than can ever be countcrbalanced
by the information they diffuse among
those who take from them better class
of works. The only consideration that
would lead US to regard the account as
balanced would be the fact that the in,
jury done to worthless mind is of small
consequence compared with the i'm.
provemeut of mind of higher quail.

How Taxes Have Been Reduced.

So great is the outcry on the subject
of taxation by our small Democratic
politicians, (many of whom, however,
do not pay farthing of taxes), that
one not familiar with the action of
Congress on this subject might be led
to suppose that there had been no re-
duction of taxes since the close of the
war. The New York Itkbune prints
exhibits on this subject, from which it
appears that in 1866 the Internal
Revenue receipts from manufactures
and productions were, S178,356,66l
81 in 1867, l46,223,673 66, and in
1868, s100,274, sos % Here is re,
duction of taxes on manufactures and
productions in three years Of SIS, S,0S2,
153 10. The receipts of taxes on in
comes in 1866 were $60,S94, 1885; in
1867, S57 ,040, ,640; in 1868, s32 ,027,-
| 610. Here is reduction of income

making total reduction of taxes oQ

In 1866 clothing paid an Internal
Revenue tax of 81, ,434 ,129; i'll 1868,
SS26.537. Boots aud shoes, in 1866
paid s6,5l681f; in 1868, 81, ,946, ,962.
In 1866 pig iron paid S2,255,8s2, and
in 1868 nothing. Manufacturers of
iron, in 1866, paid s5,238,728, and in
1868, S9Jl, ,496. In March, 1868.
Congress relieved all manufactures and
productions, except spirits, tobacco aud
cigars, of internal taxes, except two
dollars on each thousand dollars of
sales. The tax of two dollars on one
thousand is not very oppressive, on all
over FIVE thousand; and the income
tax ceases This year.
From this exhibit appears that taxes
have already been reduced to an ex-
tent which, considering the condition
of the country, is very remarkable.
| Further reductions can doubtless be
made, and the Republican party will
make them as rapidly as a due regard
for the public credit will allow |,

it has done in this direction in the past
may be taken as an earnest of what il
will do in the future.

IDLE.

sit in the twilight dim,
AT the close of an idle day,
And hear the soft, sweet hymn
That rises far away,
And dies the evening air
oh, all day long, they sing their song,
Who tod in the valley there.
But never a song sing [.
Sitting with folded an, g;
The hours pass by,
Dropping their golden sands;
And List from day to day
To the tick, tick, tock, of the old brown clock
Ticking my life away.
And see the sunlight fade,
Aud see the night come on
And then, in the gloom and shade,
I weep for tie day that is gone
Weep and wall in pain,
For the misspent day that has flown away
And will not come again.
Another morning beams,
And forget the last,
Aud sit in my idle dreams,
Till the day il overpast;
Oh, the toiler's heart is glad,
For the day is gone and the night comes on,
But mine is sore and sad.
For dare not look behind
No golden shining sheaves,
Can ever hope to find
Nothing but withered leaves,
All dreams very sweet!
But will it please, if only these
/ lay at my Masters feet?
And what will the Master say
To dreams, and nothing more?
Oh, ider ali the day!
Think, ere thy life is Ger.
And the day grows late,
Oh, soul of sin! will He Let you in
There at the pearly gate?
Oh idle heart, hewaIe.
On to the field of strife
On to the valley there,
And live useful life.
Up! do not wait day
For the old brown elock, with its tick, tock,
Is ticking your life away.

few days since, $50 900 worth of hops
we're carried away by one vessel from
San Francisco, for export 10 Eurore,

been more or less influenced by the
exhibition of California hops at the late
Paris Exposition. A bale or two oil
hops were opened there, and freely dis.
tributed to brewers and. others who
were congregated there from the vari
pus countries in Europe, and who
without exception, bore testimony te

THE ORINoco GOLD FIELD.-Gold has
been arriving at the Philadelphia Mint for
several months past from tract of land in
the State of Guayana, Republic of Vene-
zuela, said tract being owned and worked
by residents of this city, under the title of
the Orinoco Exploring and Mining Compa-
ny. Altogether, S1l4,000 have been sent
to the Mint since April of this year S20,-
600 of this amount was the product of fifty
eight days, work of one mill running twenty
stamps. Theg old thus work ed is from quartz
veins, though there is placer gold there
also. 1t is remarkable for its fneness. A
specimen of the placer gold, analyzed in a
private laboratory in this city, yielded nine
ty-three and sixteenth per cent, gold
three and sixteenth per cent, silver, the
rest being iron and copper 1t is some
what remarkable that these gold deposits
have never been worked, and indeed it is
not known whether there has ever been
any exploration of them from the time o(
the i'll fated expedition of Sir Walter Raj
eigh down to the year 1865. In the lat
ter year, Mr. j. b. Austin, formerly of
that city, sent out Mr. L. NJ Davis, also of
Philadelphia, to explore the gold region
south of the Orinoco. SiDce then grant
of land has been made to Mr. Austin, and
vigorous mining operations have been
going on, with the above result.-Phll Pa.
