Y0LUNTARY TAxATT0N--INTEMP
aNCE

DIR. Holland in discussing the Taxation
that Kills = in the Southern States, in Scrih-
ner's Monthly says:
Our taxation for legitimate purposes Of
government and the payment Of the public
debt is mere bagatelle by the side Of the
taxation to which the people voluntarily SUBJ
ject themselves, for that which harms them
We consume, as a nation, 5000, 600, 900 a year
in spirituous liquors, sum which only needs
few multiplicatons to pay the whole public
debt of the country. If this tax could be en-
tirely abated, and the impetus that would be
given, not only to our prosperity, but to our
civilization, would soon place us in advance
of every nation under heaven. Liquor ia at
the bottom of all our poverty If the tax
were lifted, there would not need to be man,
woman or child without bread. If it could
be lifted from the Southern States alone, it
would not take five years to make them not
only prosperous but rich. There cannot be
a more pitiful or contemplate sight, than a
man quarreling over, and bemoaning his
taxes, while tickling his palate, and burning
up his stomach and substance with glass after
glass of whislSey. Men dread tie cholera, the
yellow fever and the small pox and take pre-
caution against it, while the ravages of all of
them in year do not produce the mischief
that intemperance does in a month. 1t is
worse than plague, worse than fire, or inun-
dation, or war. Nothing but sickness, DEATH
immortality, crime, pauperism, and a frightful
waste of resources come of it. Nothing noble
is born of it. Meantime our public men are
timid about it, our churches are half indffer-
ent over it, our ministers talk about the
scliptural use of wine, our scientific men dis
pute about the nutrative proprieties of alcohol,
our politicians utter wise things about per-
sonal rights and sumptuary laws, and the peo-
pie are going to the devil.

BEAUTIES OF MANHooD.--1'o the boy, the
world beyond his immediate surroundings is
only picture. He does not know how real
are the sorrows, the passions, the ambitions
of men, It's absorbing interests, it's heroes
and its martyrs, are heard of by him without
understanding or with influence. His sport,
his lessons his home life, are alone real. But
there will come change. The ordinary slow
growth into manhood, with its business or
professional pursuits and widening relations.
or startling events, such as the death of a
parent, or some intellectual or spiritual APP
peal striking out the latent soul, will make
vivid and earnest what was indstinct and
embarrassing.
Like stereoscopic picture before it is put
in tho stereoscope, tho life OF man has no
body or reality but when the boy awakens
as with the picture within the instrument, sa
with him, a solidity and naturalness will bs
acquired by the external world, and he VIII
feel what it is henceforth to live and move
amongst these grander and graver forms.
| Many mistakes will he commit, false esti-
mates will he form of proportion and perspec-
tive, The carrestness of his new conceptions
will hurry him into extravagances and
generous errors ; but if there is truth in his
nature, and nobleness in his spirit, just views
will be formed, and the day in which it in
given him to work will find him unmindful Of
the responsibility which arises from knowl-
edge of the coming night.

THE CAT Our OF THE BAo.-Lord Chan
cellor Cranworth offered the late Dean Afford,
in 1855 a lucrative living in Cornwall, which
he declined, wishing to remain in or near
London. After having made up his mind not
to accept the living, he went to call on Lord
Cranworth, to thank him. "When l asked
to see his lordship, the servant said his master
was engaged" then said, II am not come
to ask for anything, but to refuse something
offered" ooh, sir, then | am sure he will
see you," was the reply.

The road up hill may be hard, but at any
rate it is open, and they who sct stout hearts
against a stiff hill shall climb it yet. What
was hard to bear will be sweet to rember. II
Young men would deny themselves, work hard
and live hard, and save in their early days,
they need not keep their noses to the grind
stone all their lives, as so many do. Let them
be teetotalers for economy's sake. Water is
the strongest drink ; it drives mills it's the
drink of lions and horses. The beer, wine
and tobacco-money will soon build house and
make their fortune.

In Russia, while the weather is cold, they
clean all kinds of fish, as for use, then place
them on an inch of fine white sand in tub,
and fill the latter with pure water. The water
freezes soidly about the fish, and the whole
block of ice is then turned out of the tub,
stored away, and will keep the fish perfectly
fresh and pure until it is melted. Professor
Blot suggests that game and fish might be
kept thus in the ice-houses Of any country all
summer.

The moiety bill passed by the Senate, We'd
nesday, now goes to the House for concur
renee in the Senate amendments. The most
important change in the bill is an amendme mt
allowing the seizure of books and papers,
This is so modified, however, as scarcely to
resemble the old system. The books of a
merchant may be produced in court, upon the
oath of the United States District Attorney
that they are important to the decision of an
alleged case of fraud upon the revenue. The
affidavit must state specifically what is intend
ed to be proved, and only that part of mer-
chants books or papers relating to the sub
ject matter under dispute can be produced in
court. The District Attorney and Treasury
agents will not, as now, be permitted to cart
a merchants books away and keep them for
six months, fishing for case against him.
The book or books called for by the affidavit
of District Attorney are to be kept in the
custody of the court and not allowed to be
examined except in the presence of the owner
or his agent.

1t was Mr.. Thomas Leigh's horse that ran
away on Wednesday, starting from near the
Augusta house from fright occasioned by
some boys at play. and running the wagon
against stone post near the residence of
Hon. j. G. Blaine, breaking things generally,
and leaving the young ladies without fat
tering prospect for reaching home in hurry,
with nothing but demoralized vehicle to de-
pend upon. After freeing himself from re-
straint the horse proceeded at two forty speed
for home, with portion of one of the thills
dangling at his heels. Strange to say, the
young ladies escaped unframed; and the
horse, though thoroughly frightened as we'll

wagon and harness, however, will need "haul-
