INTERNAL REVENUE TAX Taxpayers
will be startled by the statement of the

that it actually costs more to collect the
Internal Tax than it returns to the Treas

those who still demand its unconstitution-

AREsroRArrvESYsrEM-My first coun-
sci would be, practice restorative instead
Of an exhaustive system of agriculture =
A system tina. involves abandonment oil
lands and removal TO new scenes is I'M
worthy of the age and reproach to mod
ern civilization.
No man is worthy to be farmer who
does not annually leave his land in better
til,h aud strength than he found it. The
intellect must share more largely with
muscle the toll of agriculture; machinery
directed by skilled labor, and propelled
by brute force and also by the mighty
power of steam. must take the place o!
expensive and inefficient human strength.
This chance, as said in this State year
ago, involves the necessity for smaller
farms, better culture. liberal use of ma
nure, rotation in crops, and . larger work
ing capital in proportion to permanent in
vestment" You are already spending
millions annually on the old lands of the
Atlantic States for commercial fertilizers.
While I would commend judicious ex-
renditure in this direction, would make
this basis of a practical rotation with a
course Of grasses and other restorative
agencies Of scientific agriculture.
The business of agriculture should be
an industry and not a speculation. The
insane pursuits Of speeiaities has long
been curse to American agriculture
A whole community runs wild upon hops,
when selling at City cents per pound, and
in two years they are scarcely worth the

How MUcu WHEAT TO A BARREL OF
FLouR.-The question, ..How much wheat
does il take to make a barrel Of -four I" is
often asked, and the answer is Of . gen.
eral character, Five bushels are allow
ed" At the annual fair Of the Dubuque
County Agricultural Society. in 1866, a
premium Of $50 was offered for the best
barrel of -four made from winter wheat.
A firm entered one barrel of each. accom-
panied with the statement that sixteen
bushels of winter wheat yielded three bar
rels and one hundred aud three pounds of
fiour-at the rate of four bushels and IF
teen pounds of wheat to the barrel. OF
spring. fifty bushels yielded eleven bar
rels of -four, being four bushels and thir-
ty-two pounds to the barrel The wheat
was of fair quality and no more.-Aieh-
iSoa F1rmer.
kT- Mscaulay's speeches were. like
Lord Brougham's. written out beforehand
and learned by rote. There are bat two
speeches by him that make any prctension
to be impromptu. aud it is evident eonsid-
cradle passages even in these had been
iotted down at his desk and turned over
in his memory in the course Ut his walk
from Lincolnss Inn to the House. This
habit Of preparing his speeches grew upon
him 30 strongly in the course of years
that Il was a positive pain and emharras<-

speak even dozen sentences ofasnd.

Mr.. CARLYLE on VERsE-MAKIyG.-
Among the testimonials published by Mr..
W. c. Bennett, Ii. d., one of the can
didates for the secretaryship of the Lon
don School Board, there appears a letter
from Mr.. Carly lie to that gentleman. which
contains the following characteristic pro-
test against verse-writing, in acknowl-
edgment of letter and sonnet which had
been sent to him by Mr. Bennett:
Your name hitherto is known to me
chiefly as associated with verse. 1t is
one Of my constant regrets. in this gen.
Grafton, that men TO whom the gods have
given genius (Which means ligh, OF
intelligence, of courage. and all manful-
ness, or else means nothing). will insist.
in such an earnest time az ours has grown,
in bringing out their divine gift in the
shape Of verse, which now no man reads
entirely in earnest. That man has to
bring out his gift in words of any kind
and not in silent divine actions, which
alone are fit TO express i. well, seems to
me great misfortune for him; but that
he should select verse, with its half-cred-
Utilities and other sad Accomplishments
when he nigh. have prose, and be wholly
credible, if he desired it-this l lay a,
the door of our spiritual teachers (pedants
mostly, and speaking an obsolete dialect)
who thereby intellectually rot the world
making him who might have been q SOL
der and fighter $50 terribly wanted jus,
at presently mere preacher and idle sing
or. This is fixed perception of mine.
growing ever more Fixed in these many
years; and l offer it to you. as l have
done it to many others in the like case,
not much hoping that you will believe in
it all ut once. But, certainly, a good,
wise, earnest piece in prose from you
would please me better than the musical
lest verses could.
