Block Her Not.
Feeble is her step and slow,
Tears her dim eyes overflow,
And the wrinkles, wide and deep,
Record of Time's ravage keep.
But a woman, old and worn,
In a gown bedragged and torn;
Yet what differs she from thee,
0, proud soul of high degree?
Canst thou tell what questions drear
. Itack her soul with doubt aud fear?
Nay, think not thyself alone
Bath the scull's wild yearnings known.
Canst thou tell what cruel smart
Sears the chambers of her heart?
This, then, to thyself reveal -
That thy poorer brethren feel.
She hath shrunk 'math acts of wrong: -
Yet her faith shines clear and strong;
Sorrow claimed her; mock her not,
Lest thou olio day taste her lot.
Why, 0 mortal. rich and proud,
Lift thy head above the crowd?
Art thou better stuffthan they?
Ah! thou, too, alasj art clay.

GLADSTONE'S BUDGET.
A Surplus and Red -aced
- - Taxation.
LONDON, April 4. -In the Cominons to-
day Mr. -Gladstone rose at 5.25 o'clock to
make his budget statenientandeVas loudly
cheered. He said the gross -revenue fpx„t
pastfinancial year was £8404i """, ""'""
mate. Th euts. increase from taxation
eie,341,ocie over the esti-
mg an increase 61
was sore, 00. Mr. Gladstone proposes to
somewhat ameliorate brewers' licenses in
favorof private brewers and to reduce the
duty on foreign beer about one shilling -and
a penny, thus placing it on an equality
with English beer, and also to augment the
duty on imported spruce beer.
Mr. Gladstone said the expenditure last
year was £83,810,000, or 1714,000 lessthan
the estimate. The .surplus revenue over
expenditure was 2933,000. The tine° has
now arrived; he said, for proposing the
conversion of short annuities _into longer
ammities, With.a view to a reduCtion ef the
debt'. He proposed to payoff 260,000,000 in
twenty-five years, -
- _
Mr. Gladstone estimated the expenditure
for the year just commenced at 204,705,900,
and the revenue at285,990,0001Which would
Iciaiee a surplusof 21,235,000. .11e proposes
to take- a. penny off the ineenne tax and
apply a small eieM to the construction of.
barracks:. These - measures, hell said, will
-consume' the whole. sniping andeleave an
estimated deficit Of .2275. The extra Penny
of income tax whiche is to be remitted 'pro-
-dueed last year -about 21,000;000:1 Mr.Glad-
Atone proposes annually -to reduce the duty
on :silver plate by threepence per ounce Until
the Whore dutY of eighteenpende disappears.
This deeY has been .considered a, greet
grievance by: silvereiniths, andito replace
