THE SABBATH.

Oh! heart of all the week.
Whence strength aud gladness flow
To beautify all other days,
And make their graces grow;
In thee is full supply
Of life-blood for the seven,
Thy heslthful pulses lift the week
Nearer toGod and heaven,
Oh, fount of pure delight!
From thee such sparkling streams
Gush through the dryest, dulest day,
That fair and bright it seems.
Thou warterest I'll the days,
Thou freshest of the seven!
And draweSt from unfailing springs
Which have their source in heaven.
On, glorious sun Of days?
Thy glad and steady light
Shines down the vista of the week,
Through morning, noon and night.
No day so dark and sad
Though darkest Of the seven
But thou canSt shed through all its hour
The radiance of heaven.
Oh, heart of all the week!
Oh, fount so fresh and free!
Oh, glorious sun of all the days!
How cling our souls 20 thee!
Cheer still our earthly way
Each day among the seven,
And let Us never lose thy light,
But in the light Of heaven.

evil? Let US see. As in somc other
States let our Legislature place the
collection Of all taxes Estate, County
and MunieipaD in the hand OF one
officer, such collection to be made at
such times and in such instalments as
may be most convenient to the tax
payer, with penalty for non-payment,
but ach0se infiction shall be oJso-
zutelg sure; for unless the penalty,
whatever it be, shall be strictly en-
forced and carried out, any sys,
tenn must fail of its object.
Such a method would involve the
necessity of altering the limits Of the
present State fiscal year, which be
gins with November but conformity
to the calendar year would, we i'm
agine, be advantageous rather than
otherwise.
The collection of all taxes by one
officer would also obyiate the ridicu-
lous spectacle Of municipal govern
ment solemnly prescribing by ordi-
nance a penalty Of fifteen or twenty
per cent. for nou-payment Of taxes,
and then by subsequent ordinance or
resolution reV,king such penalty.
With the inauguration of such a
system, a single aggregate tax to be
collected by one officer: and the posi-
tie lnfictj0n Of the penalty for the
non payment Of the tar, whatever
that penalty may be, the ghost Of de-
linquents will vanish, aud we shall
see the revenues Of State and county
and city increased and rendered capa-
bic of definite calculation, besides the
advantages resulting therefrom in the
general transfer Of property.

4 PRETTY GAME.

On the porch of Mr. Everson's
fine residence in NJ, on a
beautiful evening, about sunset,
stood Julia E0erson, q beautiful
yourg lady, with deep blue, lus-
strous eyes, and Francis Rowley,
a tell handsome young man, his
face glowing with health and his
department that Of q perfect gea-
tleman.
Your father said Francis, ad-
dressing Julia, is as determined
as ever, suppose, about this af-
fair of-of the marriage 2 His
look was averted from her while
be pronounced the words.
Determined! Julia Everson ex-
claimed; why papa is SO bent
upon my becoming Mrs. Upjohn
that he would die Of rage. I think,
were my resolution known to

And that resolution is, Julia
ITO give Mr.. Upjohn plainly to
understand that the times we live
in are not those which tolerate

their parents happen to be friends.

the manners of regular clod, and
has passed his whole life in some
obscure place out West. Do you
believe in proverbs, Francis p
why do you ask 2

face wore a look of very firm de-
termination as she spoke.

Francis asked.

to keep her resolution.

And get pooh-poohed for your
palms, she replied, with a slight
laugh. No, I mean something
else. Papa is still asleep, and

STATE AND MUNICIPAL
TAXES.
Collection Of TaZes-Mode of Enforcing Pay
ment-Penalty for Non-Payment.

To the Editors Of The NeU6swy
Herald: It is the duty Of every men,
Der Of the General Assembly to con-
slider what, if any, defects there may
be in the existing public laws with
tbe view to remedy them by appro-
pirate legislation. One among the
greatest aud most patent Of such de-
fects is ir the system Of assessment
aud taxation. The present inquiry,
however is directed to the defects in
the system of taxation only, or rather
in the mode Of collecting taxes.
a casual inspection Of the tax du-
plicates will show of how large por
tion of ner revenue the State is an-
nually deprived by the failure of tax
payers to comply with their obliga-
tions; aud this evil increases from
year to year. It is an evil which can
be accounted for in but one way, viz
that the State either cannot or will
not enforce the payment Of the taxes.
Every year and sometimes more
than once in the year, We see official
advertisements of the sale of long lists
of property, which yield no fruit to
the State, and, in fact, only serve to
increase the public expenses, the
State invariably forfeiting the pro-
perty to herself ard leaving it in the
possession and enjoyment of the deIln-
quent, while increasing the expenses
incident to sach sales. It must be
admitted, then, that such sales have
been and are nullities, until at last
maay,who do not consclentlously feel
their obligations and are actuated by
other motives, pay no taxes at all, conf
dent that after the lapse of years the
State will say to them, "ifyou pay one
or taco yeaas' tax We remit al arrears
and yet enjoying along with others
who have paid all their taxes the ben
efts of The government whose citizens
they are and whose interests are their
interests.
If this condition Of things be suf-
fered to remain unchanged the result
must be general decentralization among
the people in respect 20 the payment
of taxes and eventual bankruptcy Of
the State. Decentralization IN one
respect will Inevitably lead to demoral-
ization IN others.
We now narrow our inquiry down
to the question Of taxation in incor-
porated towns or cities, which are IN
vested by the State with a power Of
taxation within themselves for their
corporate purposes. Here an addi-
tional difficulty presents itself, and
that is the complication arising from
conflict of the respective liens Of
State and city; as for example,
lien attaches for non-payment Of taxes
due the one, which may be quickly
followed by the others lien attaching,
to be augmented perhaps by an addl-
tional lien in favor Of the first for q
subsequent non-payuent. If not other
wise an evil, this certainly is an o.
stacle in the transfer Of property. We
do rot say that the present system
cannot by any possibility be worked
harmoniously, but we do say that it is
so evolved and cumbrous as to Teu-
der its efficiency practical iupossi-
bility.
! Now is there no remedy for this
