Internal Revenue.

WASHINGTON, November 24.-UG-
Ill wijhin "a few ,lals Commissioner
l.luiu Was dispus, Il to make uo rec
concentration in his forthcoming an.
nual report looking t. reduction IN
internal revenue taxes. IL Is Ue
|lieveti, however, that he has recon
sidered the matter, aud will advise
such reduction as will leav. the ~
gregate income of the government
from this source ut about S100,U0U,-
900 per annum. 1t is known that
the Pres rdent. while he is firmly OPP
posed To any proposition looking To
the abolition at this time OF the en-
tire Internal reveuuesystem, believes
that the time has come when SUR
stahtial relief Can s@tf,l le accorded
the taxpayers of the country, and
that Il portion OF this relief should
come from the reduction of internal
revenue taxation. With this view
the members of the Cabinet are in
entire accord. and the President in
his forthcoming message 10 Congress
|. recommend tne abolitinn of all
internal revenue taxes except those
upon tobacco in its various forms,
and upon distilled spirits and fer
menttd liquors, and except also the
special tax upon the manufacturers
of and dealers in such articles, with
a reduction IN the tax upon whisky
and tobacco upon the basis of the
bill which passed the House of Rep
r~esehtatives at the last session of
Congress.

THE GATE.
By IL rASE.

In the sultry time If moving,
When the fell are full If hay,
Pretty Janet brings her sewing
To the gate, at close OF day
Do you wander that he fingers
Often glances down the lane
Do YOU ask me why her fingers
Seem to find their work 8 strain.
Love-dreans hold her in her ietter
Love is often-as we know.
Idle in the summer weather,
Idlest ia the sunset glow
Now he leans upon the railing,
Tells her all about the hay;
Still his pains seem unavailing-
Very liule wiI She say.
Isit bat capricious feigning?
Learn a lesson from the rose,
Peerless 'mong her sisters relsning,
Fairest flower that ever blows.
Not at onee she iiaun,s her petals
First a bud of sober green.
By and by the stretching sei'ais
Show a dash Of red between.
Breezes rock her. sunbeams WOO her
Wild and wilder does she start;
OPENS all her crimson treasure,
Yields the fragrance at her heart.
Ali, the rosebuds will not render
All their secrets in one day,
And the maiden, shy aud tender,
Is as difficult As they.
