different steps that may
be taken to prevent such an
necessary accumulation. The
principal points argued are the
tariff and the internal revenue.
Some favor a reduction in the
tariff, thereby lessening the cost
of many of the necessaries of life,
and letting the tax remain upon
whiskey and tobacco, the
; while others are
ting the abolishing of the whole
revenue tax, in other words clam-
for drinks and free
and leaving the tariff
as it is. The Reflector does
not belong to the latter class. It
looks upon whiskey and
co as luxuries, and useless
at that, therefore does not
favor taking the tax off of them
and letting it remain upon such
articles that are necessities. To
remove the tax from whiskey
and tobacco would benefit only
those people who are addicted
to the use, while to reduce the
tariff and lessen the cost of

Of all the weeks of the

But matters did not con-

good part came in. On an after-
noon we walked home to find that
one of the biggest-hearted, most
generous specimens of manhood
had been there and unloaded a
supply of chickens, beef, potatoes,
meal, lard, etc., in sufficiency for
many days rations. This started
our feelings with a rapid upward
and ere they had ceased
to climb we found that a beautiful
maiden, one of those pure, sweet,
lovely, noble creatures that make
the earth glad with their presence,
became imbued with the thought
that she could also contribute to
our happiness with a friendly to-
ken. And how readily can just
such beings divine what man most
needs. While the sterner and in-
necessities were very
provided for in the articles
heretofore mentioned, she decided
that man's external appearance
should not be neglected, and by
the execution of this decision we
were the recipient of an exquisite
and elaborately furnished shaving
case, with which to smooth o'er
the rough points of the visage and
remove all that might mar
countenance, thereby rendering
the facial expression a better re-
of the happy thoughts that

ceased to congratulate ourself upon
this good fortune there came an
additional cause for gratitude.
