President Lincoln's Treat.

A writer IN The Portland Press,
who witnessed the interview between
| Mr.. Lincoln and the committee of
the Chicago Convention that came
to his house to inform him of his
nomination for the presidency, tells
the following story. CATER the
ceremony had passed, Mr.. Lincoln
remarked to the company, that las an
appropriate conclusion to an inter
view so important and interesting as
that which had just transpired, he
supposed good manners would re-
quire that he should treat the comit-
tee withsomething to drink: and,
opening the door that led into room
in the rear, he called out, "Mary,
Mary" A girl responded to the
call, when Mr.. Lincoln spoke a few
words to her in an under tone, and,
closing the door, returned again to
converse with his guests. In a few
minutes the maiden entered, bearing
a large waiter, containing several
glass tumblers, and a large pitcher
in the midst, and then placed it up
on the ntre-table. Mr.. Lincoln
arose, and, gravely addressing the
company, said:
Gentlemen, we must pledge our
mutual healths in the most healthy
beverage.which our God has given to
man. 1t is the only beverage which
[ have ever used or allowed in my
family and [ can not conscien-
toiusly depart FRONT it on the present
occasion. It is pure +" Adams ale,
from the spring. And, taking
he touched it to his lips, and
pledged them his highest respects in
a cup of cold water. Of course, all
his guests were constrained to adj
mire his consistency, and joined in
his example. We'll Spring.

The INCOME TAX.-OWino to 1

The INCOME TAX.-Owing to the
recent proceedings in Congress rel
ative to the proposed adjustment
OF the income tax, a number of per-
sons appear to have become impress
sed with the idea that no income tax
will be assessed and collected for the
past year. In order to rectify these
impressions, Commissioner Pleasan-
ton has forwarded to the internal
revenue officers instructions to leave
blank with every person who, in
any probability has taxable income
and to make list Of the persons with
whom blanks are thus left. They
should also require all these forms
to be returned, filled up in detail,
submitted and sworn to. The form
prescribed for declaring that per-
son is not possessed of an income Of
s., 900, as provided section 13, act
Of July II, 1870, is by making the
appropriate affidavit upon form "a.

MUTILATED CURRENCY.-Treas-
urer Spinner has decided that post
masters must receive mutilated cur
rency at its full value in payment
for postage stamps, when in cases of
United States notes not more than
one twentieth of the note is missing,
and in cases of fractional currency
when not more than one tenth is
missing. When such notes and frac-
tional currency are mutilated beyond
the standard referred to, no one is
compelled to receive them for any
part of their value, and the only
place where such may be redeemable
is the United States Treasury.

Poverty, in nine cases out of ten, is
only an idea, the offspring of artificial
wants, Of desire to live better and dress
better than others.-No man can be
called poor if he has health, food, cloth
ing, and roof to shelter him. The man
with an income of $40, 900 has hundred
wants that the man with an income Of
$500 knows nothing of. He will run in
debt a great deal sooner. than the poorer
ey much oftener

EXCITEMENT AND SHORT LIFE
The deadliest foe to mans longevity
is an unnatural and unreasonable
excitement Every man is born
with a certain stock o:c vitality which
cannot be increased, but which may
be husbanded or expended rapidly,
as he deems best. Within certain
limits he has his choice, to live fast
or slow, to live abstemiously or in
tensely, to draw his little amount
of life over large space, or con-
dense it into q narrow one; but
when his stock is exhausted he has
no more. He who lives abstemiously,
who avoids all stimulatiyes, takes
light exercices, never overtakes HIM
self, INDUCES no exhausting passion,
feeds his mind and heat on no excl
ing material, has no facilitating
pleasurers, let's nothing ruffle his
temper, his account with God and
man duly squared up" is sure, bar
ring accidents, to spin cut his life
to the longest limits which it is pos
sible to attain while he who lives
intensely who feeds on high season.
ed food, whether material or mental,
fatigues his body or brain by hard
labor, exposes himself to infamma-
tory diseases, seeks continual ex-
element, gives loose rein to his
passions, frets at every trouble, and
enjoys little repose, is burning the
candle at both ends, and is sure to
shorten his days.
