ORO-WLER'S INCOME TAX.
nv 'r. s. AiiTiniK.
Mv neighbor Growler, an excitable man by tho way, wos particularly excited over his "Income Tax," or, as lie culled it, hia "War Tax." Ho had never liked the war —thought it nnneccBfary and wicked ; tho work of politioians. This fighting of bro¬ ther against brother was a terrible thing in his eyes. Ifyou nskcd him who began tho war—who struck at thc nation's life—if w>lfil''fi"ie" were nut ndufy—hc wnnld re. ply with vnguc generalities, mndo up of partizan tricky sentences, which ho hud learned without eoraprehonding their just significauco.
Growler came in upon mo the otherday flourishing a sijuaro pieco of bluo writing paper, quito moved from his e(|U.inimity.
"There it is ! Just so much robbery ! Stnnd and deliver is the word. Pistols nnd bayonets 1    Your money or ynur Ufe !"
I took the piece of pnpcr from his hand and read :,.
'•PHILADKLPHIA, Sept., 18C3.

'^Collector of Internal Revenue : "For Tax on Income, for thc year 18(12, OS porrcturn made to the As¬ sessor of the district, 843 21 "Received payment,
"JOHN  M. RILKY,
"Collector." "Yon're all right," I said, smiling. "I'd.liko to know what you mean by ull right ?" Growler was just a littlo ofl^end- ed at my way of treating this very serious matter—serious in his eyes, I mean. "I've been robbed of fortythren dullnrs and twenty ono cents," he continued. "Do you say that it is all right ? A miiiioii of tho Government has put his band into my pock¬ et and takon just so muoh of my property. I" thst al! ri"ht'!"
"Tho same thing may be set forlh in very different language," I replied. "Let mo stato the oase."
"Vory well—stnle il'." said Growler, dumping himself into a ohair, and looking ns ill-humored as possible.
"Instead of being robbed," snid I, "you havo been protected in your property nnd
fierson, and guarantied all thc high privl- eges of citizenship, for thc paltry sum of forty-three dollars aud twonty-ono cents as your sharo of protection."
"Oh, that's only your way of putting tho caso," retorted Growler, dropped a littlo fiom his high tono of indignation.
"Let me bo more particniar in my wny of putting tho case. Your income is from tho rent of property ?"
"Yes."
"What would rt havoco.'-t you to defend that property from the urmy of Gen. Lee, recently driven from our Stato by national soldiers 1"
"Cost nieJ" Growler looked at mo in a kind of maze, as thongh he thought mo half in jest.
"Kiactly I What would it bavc cost you ? Lcc, if unopposed, would certainly bave reached this city, and held it ; and if your property had been of use to him
comfortable. It is duo to the diilriet, howaver, to say, thnt this is tho only poor school building, and unlcEs wc are much deeeived in rognrd to tho spirit and enter¬ prize of tho TJoard of  Directors, its place

I in this magnificent exhibition of will  and
I atrength ? No part in thc nation's glory? No eager hand helping to stretch forth ?"
I     Growler was silent still.
I "Thero was no power in you or mo to check the wave of destruction that wns launched by patricidal hands ngainst us. If unresisted, by tho nation, as an agsro- . cato powor, it wnnld havn swept in desola- ] ness tion over tho whole land. Traitors in our midst, nnd traitors moving in nrms against us, would have united lo destroy our beau¬ tiful fabric of civil liberty.

Why sir, I know a man who has given his right arm in the cause, and another whn has given his right leg. Do thoy grumble?- No, sir ! I nover heard a word of com¬ plaint from their lips. Thousandsnnd tens of thousnnds havo given their sons, and wives have given thoir husbands-—sons nnd husbands who will never more return !— They aro with tho dead.

Growler was a Irifle bewildered nt this way of putting the caso. Ho looked puz¬ zled.
"You have u store on Suuth wharves?" said I.
"Yes."

good to numbers would have been ngain os tablishod ? But tho wavo of destruction was met—nay, hurled back upon tho ene¬ mies who sought our ruin. Wo may yot dwell in safety. Your property is secure. You still gather your annual inoomo, pro¬ tected in all your rights and privileges by the national arm. And what does the na¬ tion assess to yoH as your share in the cost of this security 7 Half your property 7 No —not a farthing of that property 1 Only n small per ccntageof your ineome from that property 1 Just forty-three dollars and ticnlycnc cents! I Pardon l»e for saying it, friend Growler, but I am moro than half ashamed of you."
" Aud Boeing tbe way you put the case, I nra more than half ashamed of mysolf," he answered, frankly. "Why, taking your viow, this is about tho cheapest investment I ever mado."
"Yon oertainly got more for your money than in any other line of exponditure.— Yesterday I had a letter from un old friend living in tho neighborhood of Carlisle. Tho rebels took from him six fine horses worth two hundred dollars a piece ; six cows and oxen ; and over two hundred bushels of grain. And not content with plundering him, they burnt down a barn, whioh oost him nearly two thonsand dollars. But for the army raised and equipped by tho na¬ tion, in support of whion you and I aro taxed so lightly, we might have snfforod us severely. How much do yoa think it cost in money for the protection we have enjoyed in this partieulnr instance?" "A million of dollars, porhaps ?" "Near ten millions of dollars. From ihc time our army left tho Rappahannock until thc battle of Gettysburg, its oost to the Qovcrnment could scarcely havo been- less than tho sum I bavo montioned. Of this sum, your proportion cannot be ovor three or four dollnrs ; and for that triflo your property, maybe your lifo, was hcM secure."
"No more of that, if you pleaso," said Growler, showing soma annoyance. "YoQ aro ruuning this thing iulo the ground. I own up square. I wns quarreling with my besl friend. I was striking at tho hand that gave mo protootion. If my war tax next yoar rhould be a hundred dollars in¬ stead uf forty-throe, I will pay it without a murmur,"
"Don't say without a murmur, friend Growler."
"Whit then t"
"Say gladly, as a means of safety." "Put it ns you will," hn onnwnro.i. f.dil. ing up Collector lliloy's reoeipl, whioh he still held in his hand, and bowing himself out.
Not many days afterwards, I happened to hear some one grambliog in my neigh¬ bor's proBonce about his income tax.— Growler scarcely waited to hour bim thro'. My lesson was improved in his hands. In significant phrase, he'pitched into' theof- fendor, and read him a lesson so muoh alrongcr than mine, that I fait myself ihrowp quite into the shado.

Heard n few olas.^es rccile, made a fow remarks to the sohool and departed, promising lo call agnin at no very distant period.

The primary department of the sohnol in Warriorsmark Village, in charge of Miss Jennie Boigle, was next visited, to¬ gether with tho higher department, in charge of Mr. J. K. Bottorf, the schools here being divided and graded, und bolh sohools in the samo bnilding. In tho for¬ mer of thosc wo found a largo school of smoll scholars—some CO being in atten¬ dance. The sohool room is badly seated, espeoially for a primoty sehool. Th« aohn. lars wore restlsss and uneasy fur want of employment, and the teacher laboring et great disadvantage on nccount of tho in¬ convenient arrongoment of seats and wnnt of school apparatus. In tho higher de¬ partment wo found some 40 scholars, all of them well advanced towards manhood and womanhood. Tho order and doport- ment was very boooming, tho advance¬ ment quite creditable and the room belter adapted to tho purpose and much moro oomfortably sealed than that of the uther department. It was, upon the wholo, a very interesting school, and we sbould have preferred spending moru lime in it, bad oircumstancos permitted. In viaiting thcso schools we wero accompanied by two of tho Directors.
