THE sECOND OF DECEMBER.

Ir may be interesting to some of ON
readers 10 remember that this day is the
twentieth anniversary of Louis Napoleon:
coup d.tr. The present condition of France,
We NAV add, renders this date peculiarly
suggestive. The "man Of destiny" who con.
urlered France in the streets of Paris, in 1851
who took prisoners The whole French Assem-
bly, including old Theirs, and who soon
afterwards received the sufirages of eight
millions Frenchmen for a ten years presi-
dency, but who, Lefore one single year had
passed, made himselfthe proclaimed emperor,
soon 10 become the guiding monarch OF
Europe,-,hi- man sits now an exile on the
other side of the channel; while Theirs, then
a staunch Orleanist, fills the functions oil a
republican president.
We can hardly imagine more attractive
topic for speculative minds than TO think
over the differences in the history of the last
twenty years. In case Napoleon's coup
dstat had failed, and its author driven
from power, what wonld now have been
the fate of Turkey, Italy and Germany if
Louis hrd failed in 1851? Most probably,
Iraly and Germany would at the present
nornen, be as dislnited as ever; the Arch
duke Macmillan hopeful TO succeed his
brother 10 the throne OF Austria without
particle of experience in Mexico, and
France,-who will tell Us what figure she
would have cut now, had Louis Napoleon
not ruled her for the last twenty years.
Though we are not and never have been
great admirers of Louis, We are quite ready
to admit that he has done many great and
noble act; vet We shall never be able 10 for
give him Sedan.

WHAT MIG..T HAVE BEEN.

1T was commonly believed before its sud-
den collapse, that Tsmmany aspired to the
control of the national treasury, and was
craftily laying its plans 10 that end. We
have evidence now that this was no idle fear.
As part of the scheme, ii appears that Tam
many was securing an interest in newspapers
at variou. points, designed to promote its
interest. Tweed owned large share in the
Washington Pdtriot-a paper which pretends
to be the national organ of the Democracy.
He was also a partner in other papers. Last
year a Georgia paper suddenly run up the
name OF Governor Hoffman for President.
This was doubtless due to the same inspira-
ton. 1t has been said that the people OF
other States had no interest in the Tam.
many fight. These facts now coming to
light most efectually answer that pretence.
Had Tsmmany not been broken down, it
would have controlled the National Conven-
ton Of its party, and made desperate effort
to fasten its sway upon the whole country.

THE sEAsON's TRADE.

1t seems that those who thought the great
FIRE would result in paralyzing the trade of
Chicago, and disorganizing her business, are
likely to be disappointed. The Journal. Of
last Monday, in an item concerning the
trade Of the season says there were re-
ceived at Chicago the past week 20S, 9l3
bushels of wheat, ,04s, $50 bushels of corn,
27,O4S barrels of -four, lOi, 81 live hogs, and
10, 295 cattle.
This would seem to indicate that the busi-
ness of Chicago "siill lives" and in these
. ding Interests equals that of the CORES
nding period last year. The Journal Gays
informed by the leading merchants and
,ers OF the city, that their trade is quite
a.=A; that orders for goods come in very
freely; and that there is every prospect that
the holiday trade of 1871 will not fall shor,
of that of 1870.

THREE KISSES OF FAREWEs l.

Three, only three, my darling,
Separate, solemn, slow,
Not like the swift and joyous one.

When .e kissed because We loved each oths
Simply 10 taste loves sw ct,
And lavished our kisses a. the summer

But as they kiss whose hearts are wruns,
when hopes aud fears are spent.
And nothing is left TO give, except
4 sacrament

We have hurt each other often;
We shall again,
When we pine Uecause se mis- each other,
And do not understand
How the written words are 80 much colder
Than eyes and hand.
] kiss thee. dear, for all such pain
Which We may give or take;
Buried, forgiven, befoie It comes
> For our love 5 sake.
The second kiss, my darling,
Is full Of Joys sweet thrills;
We have blessed each other always;
We always will.
We shall reach until We feel each other,
Past all OF time and SPACE.
We shall listen till we hear each other
In every place;
The earth is full of messengers,
Which love sends TO and fro;
kiss thee darling, for all JOY
Which We shall know?
The last kiss, oh, my darling,
Nv love-I cannot SEE
Through my tears, as | remember
What it may be.
We may die and never see each other
Die with no time TO give
ANY sign that our hearts are faithful
To die, As live.
Token of what they will not see
Who see our parting breath,
This one last kiss, my darling, seals
The seal Of death.

PRE6IDENr GRANTS FINANCIAL
RDOu.lGH

A Washington correspondent OF the New
York Herald states that the President will
recommend in his Message to Congress, a
sweeping reform ia taxation and in the
financial policy Mr.. Boutwell, has been pur-
suing. Let us hope that the representations
OF the Herald may prove to be correct, for
anything that promises 10 tighten our taxes
will he hailed with pleasure by the people.
Whatever may be said Of Gen. Grant BY his
enemies, or whatever mistakes may be charg-
ed to his account, all partie. and factions are
forced to concede that he has the interest of
the country at heart, that he is honest in his
purpose, and that when he becomes well in
formed on any question of public policy he
will take the responsibility of recommending
it, whether his views accord with those of the
members of his Cabinet Or not. He sees
now, undoubtedly, that the policy of the
Secretary of the Treasury, in keeping up
system of burdensome taxation, is a mista-
ken one. He lie prepared, therefore, to take
the initiative in reversing that. In this mat
ter, then. Mr.. Boutwell, will have to follow
his chic; consequently, we may expect the
report of the Secretary to be in accordance
With the Message. That ia the proper posi-
ton tor Mr.. Boutwell, to occupy-the position
merely of the head of department, or
Of chief clerk TO the President.
for, though all admit tina, be has been do
ing what he thought was best, not even his
warmest admirers can claim that he has sat-
is6ed the people as a financial minister. The
rapid reduction Of the public debt is very
gratifying to read about in the newspaper,
but paying the taxes vherewith to accom-.
plsh this desirable end, is not quite 70
pleasing. The people generally believe that
the present generation has DISCHARGED its
duty in the restoration of the Union.-th.t
il has borne its share Of the burden, and paid |
in full quota, in labor and privation, suffer-
ing and blood. and that the financial obliea.
tons Of the country should be left to pos-
ssrity.
