SEASONS FOR LOVING.
Dost thou idly ask to hear
At what gentle seasons
Nymphs reient, when lovers near
Press the tenderest reason ?
Ah, they give their faith too oft
To the careless wooer;
Maiden’s hearts are always soft,
Would that men’s were truer.
Woo the fair one, when around
Early birds a~e singing ;
When, o’er all the fragrant ground,
Early flowers are springing ;
When the brodkside, hank and grove,
All with blossoms laden,
Shine with beauty, breathe of love—
Woo the timid maiden.
Woo her, when, with rosy blush,
Summer eve. is sinking;
When, on rills that softly gush,
Stars are sofily winking ;
When, through boughs that knit the bower,
Moonlight gleams arest ailing ;
Woo her, til] the gentle hour
Wakes a gentler feeling.
Woo her when autumnal dyes
Tinee the, woody mountain :
W1 sen the dropping foliage lies
In the half-clinked fountain ;
Let the scene, that tells how fast
Yout h is passing over,
Warn her, ere her bloom is past,
To secure her lover.
Woo her when the north winds call ;
At. the lattice nightly ;
When wiihin the cheerful hall,
Blaze the faggots brightly;
Wtollr the wintry tempest round
Sweeps the landscape hoary,
Sweeter in her ear shall sound
Love’s delightful story.

THE MAN WITH THE MUSTACHIOS.
It tvas a warm Saturday afiernoon in August
that, a horseman turned tip to the inn which fronts
t ;e steepleless meeting house of a small village in
the interior of New-England. As usual in tlie
warm Saturday- afternoons of Summer, the male
portion of the villagers were assembled at the
tavern,—some drinking punch like water, and oth
ers, the “regular old soakers,” discusing the merits
of pure ‘New-Enpl and.’ Some were stretched out
hail a 1 ep, and if the truth must le told, half in
toxicated under the shade of two venerable elms
which overlook the highway in front of the inn. &
others were seated in the window seats of the bar
room gravely arguing upon the matters spiritual
and political.
But the unusual appearance of the stranger
roused every one into the attitude ofcuriosity. He
was mounted on nn elegant horse, and, as he rein-
td him up in a graceful manner before the door,
every eve was turned upon him. He was some
what tall—with a diminutive waist, which would
have answered to tlie similitude of Falstaff—“an
Eagle’s talon”—and legs of most, inordinate length,
furnished with a close covering of lightdoth—look
ing for all the world, like a couple of ox goads with
eel skins drawn over them. His dark frock was
...........
som, ornamented with pearl studs and glittering
safety chains. A broad stock of black silk elevated
his chin to an angle offorK-five degrees, and sup
ported a collar ol linen, starched 1o the stiffness of
sheet iron, and which protruded on each side of his
chin like the horn of a Rhinoceros. Above, a huge
pair of whiskers extended from ear to ear with the
trifling exception ofa square inch or two of his chin,
over which the ronsurial implement hod evidently
recently passed. His upper iip was garnished by
enormous mustachios, which bristled fiercely up
ward’ and covered a moiety of either cheek. His
hat was most exquisitely small, cone-like, and
pitched with admirable effect upon the left side of
his head, while huge masses of hair tumbled up
carelessly at his temples, were left wholly uncov
ered.
The stranger dismounted ad entered the inn
without deigning a glance to the right or left.—
“He’s a Spaniard oi Portugneser,” said one in a
low whisper to his companions. “Look at his
beard,” said another.—“Oh, what legs,” said a
third. One after another, the loungers gave in
their opinion, and none could agree as to the pre
cise character of the walking phenomenon before
them. An old sailor insisted that he was a Turkish
Basnaw—while an itinerant preacher as strenu
ously affirmed that the being who had appeared
“tn such a questionable shape” was none other than
the tamous Lorenzo Dow.
The stranger had in the mean time reached the
centre of tlie bar room. Elevating a glass to his
eye he looked round the first time upon the com
pany. “Landlord,” said lie, “show me my room,
an i let me have supper immediately.”
“Our supper is just ready,” said the landlord,
“will you take a seat with us?”
The man of mustache and whisker, took off his
hat, ran nis fingers through his hair, until it stood
out as wildly as the locks ofa Lapland wind-steal
er. “ Sir !*’ said he, “ I am a gentleman, I choose
to eat alone — detnme ifl don‘t.“ And he looked
round on the company with the most sovereign
contempt.
From this there was, of course, no appeal, and
tlie man of whiskers was shown to his apartment,
and supper was prepared agreeably to his direc
tions. The waiting maid was none other than
the fair daughter of the inn keeper—a girl in. her
seventeenth year, with a bright, black eye, and
dark natural ringlets falling over her plump shoul
ders. The whiskered gentleman, as the bright
Hebe seated herself at the table to wait upon Iiis
gastronomic operations, stared at her for some time
with the most provoking assurance. The girl
blushed up to the dark shadow oi lier ringlets.
“Curse me,” said the gentleman af length, “but
you are a devilish handsome girl.”
The fair waiter blushed yet deeper-and tried to
smile away her confusion. Luckily for her,the sub
stantial line of ihe tableatthat moment caught the
eye of her admirer, and completely occupieo all his
faculties for the next half hour.
The supper finished, the stranger arose, strutted
to the glass—pinched up his dickey—and twisted
his mustacliios into a still fiercer erection.
“Ha— my pretty miss—” said he, as he flung
his arm round the neck of the fair waiter, who in
the performance of her house hold duties had
chanced to approach him.—“ You’re too handsome
for a country girl.”—And he bent his whiskers to
her face and attempted a kiss.
The mustachios would unquestionably have
stifle red, had not the fair one’s hands lieen fiiled
with the emptied dishes of the super table.— As
it was, she bounced out of the room in high dud
geon; and our somewhat disconcerted hero was
left to his own reflections during the remainder of
the evening.
The girl, as was undoubtedly Iier duty, immedi
ately related the circumstances of the oflence she
had received at the hands of the whiskered travel
ler, to the keeper ofher father’s bar room, who had
some lime been her acknowledged lover. She
sliould’nt have cared so much about it, she said, if
the fellow had looked and acted like a Christian;
but to have such a good for nothing heathen pok
ing his beard in her face, \yas what she would’nt
bear, nor touch to—ehe knew she would’nt. The
twain forthwith resolved upon vengeance, and that
very night was fixed for its execution.
it was midnight,—all was still in the inn, save
that here and there the sonorous nose of some un
easy sleeper “made the night hideous” with som
niferous melodv. The stranerer in mustachios had
j fellen into a quiet sleep, with his pillow so adjusted
I as to prevent any collision with the hairy appen-
! dages of his countenance. He was roused into
; consciousness by the enterance of the stout liar
I keeper and his pretty wailer of tlie preceding eve-
j ning. He rubed his eyes and raised himself half
' upright. The bar keeper placed a basin of warm
! water—a shaving box and razors, and a huge
i pair of sheep shears upon tfie stand at the bed-
| side.
j “What do you want r”—demanded the whisker-
I ed gentleman in a tone vacillating betwen resolu-
! tionand terror.
i “To shave you”—was the laconic reply.
In vain the dandy remonstrated, swore, and
I wept hy turns—the har keeper was inexorable.—
i Brandishing his naked razor he commanded him to
! he quiet, under the penalty ofa clipped weasand.
1 Exhausted by agitation and terror-our unfortunate
. hero sunk down upon his pillow, and suffered the
' brush to pass over his countenance without resist-
! ance. The girl with a grin of most exquisite satis
faction held the light, while her lover applied liis
dull and jagged razor to the hairy honors of the
stranger. Whisker and mustache fell one after the
other—all beautiful as they were, and dearly treas
ured as they had been. The w:e'ched dandy, like
; 'he wounded Robespierre, lay with his eyes closed,
: and silent, save when a tluj] groan or smothered
curse told that the tonsorial instrument acted in
i the double capacity of clearing knife and stump
j digger.
| “Now for his hair, Jane”—said ihe barber, and
| the formidable sheep shears went clipping amid
| the curled and perfumed locks of our hero. In a
j few moments lie was left whiskerless and hairless,
j —an excellent candidate for a wig. “Good night
i to ye Mister!” said the barber, as he gathered up
; liis apparatus and left the room,—“The next time
j you try to kiss a country girl you’ll have a smooth
•ace for it.”
The next morning at breakfast enquiries were
made relative to the gentleman in whiskers—and
the landlord on entering his room found it. com
pletely vacated. The hero had disappeared, leav
ing nothing saving his hair behind. The hostler
stated that just at daylight a wild looking, bald-
headed being came rushing into the stable, and
demanded his horse. It was no sooner furnished
than he threw himself into the saddle and plunged
into the highway with the speed of life and death.
The facts of the case soon appeared, and the mel
anchrily mishap of the dandy with the mustachios,
became a standings abject of merriment to the ten
ants and lodgers of the Inn.—JY E. Review.

.REPORT
Of the Secretary of the Treasury, on the adjustment
of the Tariff.
Treasury Department, April 27th, 1S82.
Sir : In obedience to two resolutions of the
House of Representatives, of the 19th January,
1832, directing the Secretary of the Treasuury to
collect, information as to certain manufactures in
the United States, and to communicate the same
to the House, with such suggestions as he may
think useful, with a view to the adjustment of the
tariff, & with sucli a tariff of duties on imports, as in
hisopinion maybe best adapted to the advancement
of the public interest; the undersigned has the hon
or to report, that, for the purpose of effectually
complying with the presumed object of the House,
as soon as proper agents could he selected, he ad
dressed circulars (a copy of which is now transmit-
ed) to gentlemen in States nortii of the Potomac,
and in the State of Ohio, requesting their aid in
collecting the information desired, and also sought
personal conferences with eminent manufactur
ers and other gentlemen acquainted with the sub
ject.
Some of those, however, who had been selected
as agents, declined acting; and owing to that and
other causes, with which it is not necessary to
trouble the House, more time has been employed
in executing the intentions of the department than
was anticipated. Tlie importance of despatch was
fully appreciated, but, until the returns could be
received, to enable the undersigned to communicate
tlie facts called for by the House, he did not deem
himself authorized to submit any suggestions or
recommend any particular modification of existing
duties.
These returns have but recently begun to come
in, and have yet been only partially received; but
rather than incur greater delay, at this advanced
period of the session, or longer disappoint the ex
pectations of the House, .the undersigned has the
honor to communicate the returns as far as they
have come to hand, and will continue to transmit
others as they may be received at the depart
ment.
In complying with so much of the resolutions of
the House as requires the Secretary of the Trea
sury to communicate his own suggestions, he is
well aware of the delicacy and responsibility of the
task he has been instructed to perform: he is pro
foundly sensible, however, of the importance of the
crisis which has induced the demand; and he has
entire confidence in the liberal patriotism with
which every honest effort, for the adjustment of its
acknowledged difficulties, will be received.
If the raising the proper amount of revenue were
the only object, or could alone guide these sugges
tions, the task would he comparativelv easy; but
tfie crisis presents a different and far more compli
cated subject. The impost svstem of tlie United
States has bejn, for many years, incidentally, but
so intimately connected with the growth and pro
tection of American capital and labor, as to have
raised up gett na tonal interes's, indispensable lo
the prosperity of the country, and which cannot be
lost sight of in any new adjustment of the system.
How far other interests, in different portions of the
Union, can be satisfied in the system now to be
framed, without injury to those important inter
ests, is tlie question which makes a compliance
with Ihe direction of the House, a labor of great
delicacy, and of still greater difficulty.
In the circumstances which at jiresent require a
general reduction of the reve nue, it is not believed
practicable to preserve, for any length of time, the
degree of protection hitherto afforded to those in
terests which have grown up under the past legis
lation. The state of public feeling throughout an
important portion of the country, which, with grea
ter or less intensity, calls for a revision of the ex
isting tariff, is not to be disguised. Both patriotism
and wisdom dictate that this sentiment should be
respected, and, as far as may lie compatible with
the common weal, that it be satisfied, not from any
unworthy motive, but under that obligation ofduty
which requires that all be regarded with an equal
eye; that all he home upon with an equal hand; and.
under that na less solemn obligation, to preserve,
by any reasonable concessions, our inestimable Un
ion.
Fully impressed with these considerations, end
in the belief that, by their resolutions, the House
has required suggestions for a general reduction of
duties on the articles comprehended in the existing
tariff, the undersigned has felt it to be his duty to
deal with the subject in that spirit, and has now the
honor to submit the result of his investigation
and reflection in the form of a bill accompanying
this letter.
He does not intend it so much for a perfect
scheme, nstoemhody those suggestions which lie Las
been called upon to make in a definite and intelligi
ble shape; and, while looking to the potriotic object
of the resolution, which has also guided his own
judgment, he cheerfully assumes tlie responsibility
of the scheme now presented, he will derive no less
f ratification il that object can be better attained
v any other plan which wiser counsels may de
vise.
Tlie basis of the bill now submitted, is a total re
peal of the act. of the 19th of may, 1828, from and
after the third ofMarc'i, 1833, and a limitation of
the revenue afterwards to be raised, by a new sys
tem of duties, to the existing expenditures of the
Government, and to such other necessary expendi
tures as the exigency of the public service may
require, and Congress, in its wisdom, may author
ize.
Tlie estimate which was presented in the lute
annual report from this department, of the amount
to be received into the Treasury from enstoms, in
the year IS3S, was founded, chiefly, upon the im
portations of the year 1831; and, as the receiptsfiom
that source will not be greater than may be safely
relied on for the payment of tlie public debt within
the time proposed, the duties cannot be materially,
if at all reduced, consistently with that object, ear
lier than the period indicated.
If the duties be reduced, as proposed in the bill fo
take effect in Marc!, 18.3J, the amount which, ae-
——*■"5 ti,c principles adopted in forming the es
timates for 1932, Riy be estimated as the receipts
f cm thecis oms in 1833, will be about $18,000.-
000, which sum, after providing for the payment of
the debt in that year, would leave, for all other ub-
jecls, $15,500,000.
Should the public expenditures amount to
$15,000,000 after the payment of the debt in 1833,
there would be a surplus in that year of onlv
$3,500,000.
No allowance, however,is made in this estimate
for the effects of a diminished importation, or an
unusual re-exportation of those articles which may
be included in the reduced tariff, and might not lie
necessary for the consumption of the country be
fore the reduced tariff should go info operation.—
Yet, however equally a prospective reduction may
enable the importers to adjust the supply to the de-
demand, it is believed that a considerable reduction
should he made for these contingencies. It is doubt
ful whether they would leave any surplus, hut, if
any, a small one. And, in carrying into effect a
great change like this, it Avouid be imprudent to
incur the risk ofa scanty ordefective revenue, mere
ly to avoid the chance ofa small surplus.
If a reduction of $10,000,COO, or upwards,should
he made to go into operation immediately, it would
effect not only the future revenue, Lut tiiat which
has already accrued, and which forms the chief ba
sis ot receipts into the Treasury during the pre
sent year. Whatever amount, receivable from the
customs in this year, may be now in bond, it cannot
be doubted, that before those bonds become due,
a re-exportation would take place of all such arti
cles as should he included in the reduced tariff, and
be in a situation to entitle them to debenture.—
Such articles could not enter into competition with
those imported under tlie reduced taritf, and would
necessarily be re-exported.
In regard to the projiertime for the reduction to
go into operation, the advantage which all parties
interested—the producer, manufacturer, importer,
consumer—would derive from timely notice of any
important changes in the rates ofduty is a consid
eration, which also, ought not to be overlook
ed.
For the objects mainly intended to be provided
for, an annual revenue of $15,000,000 is estimated
1 to be necessary. Of this amount, until Congress
shall otherwise determine, the sum of $3,000,000
may be estimated to be receded from the public
lands. Should Congress hereafter determine to
dispense with this source of revenue, any deficien
cy thereby occasioned may in reality be raised by a
small augmentation of the duties proposed by the
bill upon the class of articles which are taxed solely
for tlie purpose of revenue, or may be distributed
among the tvliole.
The remaining $12,000,000, il is proposed to
raise exclusively from duties on imports, in tlie
manner particularly provided for in the bill. It is
estimated that by this mode the whole annual re
venue from customs, calculated upon the importa
tions of the year ending on the 30th September.
1830, after deducting re-exportations, will be re
duced more than $10,000,000; and also that tlie
rate of the Avhole duties from customs, calculated
upon the cost of the imported merchandise in the
same year, exclusive of all charges, will be reduced
from about 45 per cent, to about 27 per cent. The
difference, however, between the rate of duties
since 1330, and that under the bill, will not be quite
so great, owing to the reductions already made in
tbe duties on tea, coffee, molases and salt.
xV groat number of articles of the first necessity
or partaking of the character of raiv materials,
have been relieA'cd from duty altogether; and on
many of the necessaries of life and those principally
consumed by the poorer classes, a duty almost nom
inal has been imposed.
An opinion lias been heretofore expressed Lv
tlie undersigned, in lavor ofa prospective and grad
ual reduction of the existing duty on articles em
braced bv the protect^ c system; but it lias been
departed from in tlie bill, in deference tc respecta
ble opinions from other quarters, but principally to
what is understood to be the wish of the manufac
turers themselves, who pefer a system permanent
in its character to one liable to change.
It has not been supposed practicable tn offer any
reasonable scheme ofcompromi.se, and for the ad
justment of existing differences, which should not
avoid the incongruity in the act of 1828, from the
extravagant duty on tlie raw materials, and llie
well founded objections to the system of mini-
mums.
