"REMEMBER NOT THE SINS OF Ny
YOUTH"

Could I recall the years that now are flown,
For evermOre:
Revive my early yisionS-long Q erthroWn-
And hope restore
How blest it were to mold my life anew.
And all my broken vows of youth renew
Oh were once again but free to choose
AS in past days,
How oft the sun-lit path | would refuse,
For sterner ways!
Content to turn aside from ev'ry road,
Save that which kept me in the smile OF God
But vain the dream: the strife is Ger with
Dark days remain:
[ could not trust my heart if were free
To choose again
The dazzling morning might again deceive,
Life be mis-spent, and age be left to grieve
I would not. if could, recall the years
That now are fed
Their cares and pleasures, labors, hopes anc
fears,
For me are dead:
I ask but mercy for the weary past,
And grace to guide me gently home at last

THIS IS the way the Baltimore Am8rj-
con- talks about Greeley. It will be seen
that there is no mincjng here:
Horace Greeley as q traitor; he hos de-
serted his life, long principles and the Re
publican party and gone over to the Dem
ocrats. He is man who has a reputa.
ton tor beneVolence, and yet never had
generous instinct in his life he was sup.
posed to be firmly grounded in certain
professions, and is ~ tickle as the wind
he has all the inclinations of self.cratif-
cation, without the liberallty to indulge
them and, in showing his willingness to
be helped to Office by Democratic votes,
proves himself totally unpossessed of the
first elements Of nobility OF character
consistency, independence, and principle
in his nature are represented by weak.
ness, trucking, and greed of gain. The
dignity that surrounds the proud position
of First Citizen of the Republic will
become such man no better than the
robe of King would become beqgar /;
1t would not kide his degradation, but
rather serve to make it obtrusively appar.

YOUTH AND AGE.

often think each. lettering form
That limps along in lies decline,
Once bore e heart as young and warm,
And fnll of idle thoughts as mine;
And each has had his dream of joy,
His own unequaled pure romance
Commencing when the blushing boy
First thrills at lovely woman's glance
And each could tell his tale of youth,
Would think it's scenes of love evlnce
More passion, more undOubted truth,
Than any tale before Or since.
Yes, they could tell of tender lays,
At midnight penned in classic shades,
OF DAYS more bright than modern days,
And maids more fair than modern
maids.
OF whispers in willing ear,
OF kisses on a blushing check
Each kiss, each whisper far too dear
For modern lips to give or speak.
Of passion, too, untimely cross'd'
OF passion sighted or betrayed
Of kindred spirits early lost,
And buds that blossomed but to fade.
of beaming eyes and tresses gay,
Elastic form and noble brow,
And forms that slowly passed away
And lett them WnaI We S6e InVIn NOW :
And is it thus-is human love
So very light and frail a thing?
And must the youthful visions move
Forever or Times restless wing?
Must all the eyes that still are bright,
And all the lips that talk of bliss,
And all the forms so fair to sight
Hereafter only come to this
Then what are earth's best visions worth
If we must leave them in day;
IF all we value most on earth
So soon must from US fade away?

AN INGENIOUS ATTEMPT TO ES
CAPE FROM SING SING.

Two conViCts, named Edward Hovt
and Charles Josephs, attempted to es
cape from Sing Sing prison on Friday
by concealing themselves in the swiil
barrels. They were in this way loaded
IN cart ard transported beyond the viii
lage. The driver having entered store,
lett his TEEN unhitched in the street,
when Hoyt, jumpted out of his barrel,
ana seized the reins, urged the horses in
to breaknec1 trot, but in the direction
OF the village, however. owing to the
conVlct's ignorance of the neigh borhood.
Meantime the alarm had been given at
the prison, and the warden, clerk and
other officers were already securing the
village in vehicles and on foot. The
wagon had not proceeded far when it was
espled by one Of the keepers, who mana.
ged to jump in and seize Hoyt by the
throat Hearing the commotion. Josephs,
who was still IN the swill barrel, burst
the cover offand stood bold upright, pre-.
sentlng q picture too ludicrous for ade-
quate description. Both men were taken
back to their old quarters, where, under
the rigorous dicipIine which is extended
to all would'be escapes" they will
doubtless not soon forget their expert

THE REPUTATION OF TAXES,

1t is impossible to conceive a greater ab-
surdity than the proposition of a number
of citizens to resist the collection Of legally
levied taxes. 1t strikes at the foundation
Of all government and if admissible un-
der any circumstances, would make indi-
vidual opinion the arbiter Of all law. Upon
precisely the same parity of reasoning, the
impecunious debter could repudiate the
demands of his creditors, by simply say
ing his obligations were excessive. Social
and moral laws could be put aside on ac-
count of their personal inconvenience; and
by these means government and society
would resolve itself into chaos.
1t is undeniable that taxes are high.
But is it any more the fault Of the law
maker than the citizen? Every rational
thinker reasons from cause to effect.
Adopting this method, it can be very
clearly shown that the authors Of the nigh
taxes are the taxpayers themselves. No one
will dispute the premises that the primary
cause Of our domestic difficulties, unset
tied government and pecuniaTy distress
was the war. Who produced it? Those
who now make laws, or those who refuse
to pay taxes? True, that much Of the pub
lie revenues may have been put to i'm
proper uses; but it is equally true that
which is needed to discharge the functions
Of government is legitimate and proper.
Title to property is secured by the State
to the citizen in consideration of the sup
port which he gives to the government
Let the citizen renounce his obligations to
the State. and the inviolabiEty of the
rights Of property cease. The State can
not be expected to maintain the citizen in
his right and title to property when he re-
fuses the State the power Of existence.
This is on the principle Of mutual de
pendence.
But to carry the idea further. What
right has the landlord to exact rental
from his tenant who refuses to pay taxes
to the State? He renders no service for
his security in the enjoyment Of his prop
erty, and therefore, upon what principle
Of right can he exact money or rental
from the tenant? He claims the property
by right Of possession does the tenant;
he pays no tax-neither should the tenant.
The tenant has just the same claim. to
the protection Of the laws in his right Of
possession as the landlord has. The law
is under no more obligation to the one

TEE PERIL, OF BAD ADVICE.

An honest man being solicited once upon
a time to publish his reasons for being an
atheist resisted the appeal with this argu-
ment: that the belief was one which no
reasonable man could justify himself in
preaching, because, if it was right, the
human family would enjoy its benefits
without believing, but if it was wrong the
believer would stand in danger of an eter-
nal punishment for his mistake. He could
not take the responsibility Of teaching a
doctrine which might be fraught with such
everlasting evil if it was wrong The
philosophy Of this silence should commend
itself to the Picapuoe There are thou
sands Of poor people who will have to sub
NIT to heavy expenses if the attempt to re-
sist the payment of the taxes fails. Is it
honest or sensible to advise these parties
into litigation where there are other men
who can contest the payment of the taxes
without feeling the expense? Let one or
two men engage lawyers, and carry the
case to all the courts in the country, and
when they have gained, then let the poorer
people take the benefit Of the judgment
thus rendered by appealing to the Council
for the repayment Of their money.
What is the use Of involving thousands
of men and women in a contest that can
Just as well be carried on by half dozen?
Why urge people to engage in litigation
that may fail, and, which even if it wins
will have the poor comfort Of being a VIC
tory over ones self. The men who are
being paid by the city and State to-day
will not suffer if the city and State lose
their suits with the taxpayers, for they
sell their per diem or spend their money
as fast as they get it. The ofice-holders,
against whom the resistants are so hostile,
Will continue to draw their salaries from
the treasury, and by the time the suits are
ended, a new governm ent will be installed
by virtue Of public election, and the
new officers will have to make good, by
additional taxation, the debts which the
present government is creating. There is
a terrible personal punishment in store for
those who embrace the doctrine Of resist
ance in the shape Of the immediate penal |
ties which must fall upon themselves if
they fail; and this reflection should induce
great caution in honest men how they
seduce their fellow-citizens into trouble
which may cost them all their little store
of property. Let each man act upon his
own conviction in this natter so that |
hereafter he may not be able to lay at the
door Of his trouble the evil which may
result.
