PENINSULAR RAILWAY.
HOW TN 40 WEST.

This is an enquiry which every one should
have tr'uthfully answered before he starts on
his journey, and little care taken in examna-
ton Of Routes will in many cases save much
trouble, time and money.
The &C. B. d O. Il. r." rnnning from Chi
cago through Galesburg to Burlington, has
achieved splendid reputation In the last two
years as the leading Passenger Route to the
west. At Burlington it connects with the great
Burlington Route which runs direct through
Southern Iowa to Nebraska and Kansas, with
close connections to California and the Terri
tories and passengers starting from Van Bu-
rem County, on their way westward, cannot do
better than to take the Q. b. & O. and Burling-
ton Route.
This line has published phamphlet called
How to go West" which contains much val
liable information; large correct map OF the
Great West, which can be obtained free Of
charge by addressing the General Passenger

Re.ief from Taxation.

The mirage which IN the desert deceives and
msleads the traveller, and which consists OF
nothing else than the barren, sandy plain itself,
affords to him the same sort OF relief that our
anti-funders offer to the people of Virginia
when they tell them that their taxes shall be
reduced. The clamor against high taxation
if any clamor there be, outside OF a few news
papers-~is senseless one. The State tax is
low.
Take the case of a man, who has two hun
dred acres which are assessed at ten dollars
each-a high assessment, perhaps. He there
fore pays to the State ten dollars per annum
upon his land Suppose the Legislature should
refuse to appropriate even dollar tor any pur-
pose and should abolish all taxes, how much
relief would be experienced by this man? Ex-
actly ten dollars worth per annum How
much does such O. man s farm yield him annual
" in products which would bring greenbacks in
the city markets? Perhaps not less than one
thousand dollars worth. But put the total at
five hundred dollars, and suppose that he con-
sumes it all, and VIC find that 1t is nothing but
fpockery, to approach that man and otier to
bring him relief by reducing his expenses by q
solemn act of the General Assembly Of Virgin
la from FIVE hundred dollars TO four hundred
and ninety dollars per annum! But the anti
tuDGeTS render THIS ACT oi inucAety stiii laVES
insulting in proposing to relieve him by reduc-
ing his ex penses from FIVE hundred dollars to
four hundred and ninety-eght. They would
reduce the rate of taxation from fifty to forty
cents, thereby relieving him from the paymep.
of the large sum of two dollars year-a sum
which profitable ben would make good to
him. Can such ''relief impose upon even tie
most ignorant of voters; Can it be that they
will MOI perceive the holowness of the profes.
sioDs of those who have deceived them in thi.
matter ?-Rich. Dispatch.

Hint to Farmers.

Don't let your horses be seen standing much
at the tavern door; it don't look right.
Don't give merchants chance to dun you.
Prompt payments make independent men.
Keep good fences; especially line fences;
they preserve good feeling among neig ighbors.
A decent, substantial clothing for your chill
dren makes them think better OF themselves,
and keeps the doctors away.
Don't starve your land; if you do it will grow
lean.
Don't buy patent rights to sell them again.
Buy tarm wagon before fine carriage.
Dont become surety for him who waits for
the sheriff.
If you have yoke ofoxen don It be ashamed
of them, and give your note for span of
horses.
Don't run for constable; you may get him
and let the plow stand.
Teach your boys to look up aud forward,
never down and backward.
Don't leave to memory what should be writ
ten, it makes law suits,
When the labors of the day are past let good
books and newspapers, and especially the
Sta,mtoa Spectator, invite the youngsters to
the sitting-room.

Then You'll Remember He.

When GOODNESS and deceit shall slight
The beauty now [ prize;
And deems it but faded light
That beams from out thine eyes
When hollow hearts shall wear a mask
Twill break thine own to see,
In such a moment I but ask
That you'll remember me.
When other lips and other hearts
Their tales shall tell,
In language whose excess imparts
The power they feel so we'll
There may, perhaps, in such scene,
Some recollections be
Of days that have as happy been
