and the gradual but certain increase in financial difficulties, which began with the reign of Louis XIV.Another cause was the aid given by France to the American rebels as they were called ; and another, and though in time, yet by no means the Jeast, the opinions of Voitaire, and the Encyclopædiste, urged the people to revenge themselves for the Semple that were constantly making to place them under the yoke of despotism, At this time the clergy, the nobles, and J THE MONTREAL WITNESS.the Tiers Etat, were the three great classes: \u2014s The clergy were both powerful and rich ; their income amounted to above 5,000,000 a year, out of which little more than one-third was apportioned among the parochial clergy.The greater part of the rest was divided among the abbeys, the majority of which were in the gift of the King.Out of 368 abbeys and monasteries, no less than 225 were of that nature that they could be held by the so-called Abbés commendataires.These Abbés, generally the younger sons of noble families, were in no way bound by the rules of the abbey over which they were supposed to preside, and were in all respects more laymen than ecclesiastics.Such men as these were the chief leaders of the corrupt morals and laxity off discipline which disgraced a great part of the higher clergy during the reigns immediately preceding the Revolution.They had, of course, their exceptions ; but, generally speaking, religion and morality were confined to the parochinl clergy, whose poverty prevented them from mixing in the luxuries and debaucheries of the capital, as much as their consciences furbade them to merge theirecclesiastical character in that of laymen, The clergy were subject to but one out of the many taxes\u2014the decime paschaline ; u tax so small that every five years they granted gratuitous loans of some considerable amount to the Crown, to be paid without interest after a short lapse of time.The Frencli noblesse were exceedingly numerous ; every 250 persons had one noble amongst them; for \u201cthe nobility of\u2019 the parent in France was not confined to the heir, hut descended to every son.There were above 4000 places in the kingdom, by the tenor of which nobility might be conferred; and the court was ever ready to increase the list of nobles by new creations, For the young men of the most ancient families, a colonelship-en-second in every regiment was reserved ; and in Louis XVI reign, it wan decreed that no one should be made even a sub-lieutenant who could not prove his nobility for four generations.They had thus a perfect monopoly of the church and the army.Besides these advantages, their other privileges were enormous.One tax they were subject to\u2014the capitation tax; a mere trifle when compared with other public burdens.The income-tax was also noninally paid by them as well as by the Tiers Etat ; but they contrived so to regulate their assessments as to contribute but litle to this impost, Add to these privileges those which arose from feudal tenures\u2014a list so startling as to surprise even the most faithful adherents of that system.Lastly came the Tiers Etat, the whole population of the kingdom, except the clergy and noblesse, including the richest merchant with the poorest peasant.The abuses under which this class laboured were many.That of taxation was common to the whole body.Three taxes were paid by them\u2014the taille, or Jand tax ; the capitation tax ; the income tax, at first a twentieth, eventually a tenth of the net income.The direct taxation previous to the Revolution produced about eight millions and a half to the Government ; out of this, above six millions were contributed by the Tiers Etat, the owners of bardly one-third of the soil of France.So enormous was the burden of direct taxation on the agricultural labourer, in those districts where the taille and viogtieme were levied on a strict valuation that only one-twelfth of the produce of an acre of land was left to him after deducting the claims of the Crown and the landlord.Dividing the produce of an acre into twelve parts, seven.and.a-half of these parts went to the Crown for direct taxes ; three-and-a-half accrued to the proprietor, in the shape of rent and feudal fines; and the remaining one part was allowed to the tenant to support life.The taxes on consumption were equally unfair on the peasant.These imposts raising between 10,000,000 and 11,000,000, were imposed most unequally on different provinces.Some districts had obtained comunutations very much in their favour, the consequence of which was, a most unequal pressure on these less favoured.The burdens of taxation were greatly increased by those flowing from the nature of the feudal tenure in France.Thespre- servation of forest game was one great source of oppression.In large districts enclosures were forbidden, and herds of deer and boars allowed to wander at will over the cultivated land that bordered their woods and lairs.Hoeing and weeding were forbidden, lest the young birds should be destroyed ; or the land manured with a strong mixture, lest the flavour of the game should be injured.\u2018The fines at every change of tenure were heavy and frequent ; the cern must be ground at the Inndlord\u2019s mill, the grapes pressed at the landiord\u2019s press, the bread backed at the landlord's oven.The catalogue of the tenant\u2019s contributions is not yetclosed.The corvees, or statute labour for the maintenance of the public roads, fell on this class alone ; a burden estimated by Necker at nearly a million a year.Military quarters were to be provided by them for the soldiers ; fiee lodging, fire, light, salt, washing, and forage for the horses of the cavalry.On them, too, fell exclusively the compulsory military service, which drew 60,000 mena year.The indirect taxes were not less oppressive, arising from the Customs levied on goods passing from one division of France to the other, and from the monopolies of salt and tobacco, Two pounds of salt smuggled across the frontier would remunerate a man better than a day\u2019s labour.The public taxes were, in sober truth, burdensome enough ; yet this burden was greatly increased by tho system of farming out indirect taxes to private individuals, or companies, for a certain sum, and leaving them to reap their advantage by oppressing the people.The power of the King had long grown to be despotic; he was the sole legislator of the kingdom, his Ministers and the State General but his advisers, without a power of enacting or refusing.On the universal immorality of the reign of Louis XV.it is needless to enlarge ; detail would be neither instructive nor necessary.No one will dream of denying the fact, or of doubting that it was one among other, causes of tho excesses of the Revolution.When the people saw their King devoted to the most sensual indulgences ; he highest nobles, the clergy, and every one who desired rank or station humbly bowing at the throne of his ac- knawledged mistress, a woman of the lowest birth, the lowest character; when they saw that she was not deemed unworthy to associate with the King\u2019s own daughters, and that the wives of the higheat in the land coveted her society, they might well believe that morality was but à bugbear to keep them in order, and religion a mere state machine for discipline.The immorality of the times Joined half the battle for the scepticism and infidelity of the Encyclopwdists, The support given by Louis XVI.to the American insurgents, reduced into practice the theories put forward by the sect of the Encyclopædists.Numbers of the young noblesse, by mixing with the American revolters, imbibed their principles of liberty and independence, and brought back to their own country notions very little con - sistent with the theory and practice of its Government.Did not all these causes put together justify tho people in turning 183 out into open revolution against their Sovereign 1\u2014 Weekly\" Paper.TOO MUCH MONEY.Suid a friend to us Jast evening\u2014* [ never saw but one man in my life, who acknowledged that he had quite as much money 28 he knew how to dispose of.I had calied at his house one day, when a gentleman present urged him to a scheme from which io might realize a grent profit.\u201c You are right,\u201d said he, \u2018as regards the prolable success of the speculation, but I shall not embark in it; I have too much movey now.\u201d This very uncommon remark struck me must forcibly ; and after the gentleman retired, I asked Mr.P.to explain.\u201cYes,\u201d said he in reply, «si would not cross the street to gain thousands; [ should be a happier man if my income were less.Jam old, and in a year or two whatever I iogsesy will avail me nought\u2014my daughters are dead, and I have three sons upon whom I looked with a father\u2019s pride.\u2014My own education had been neglected, my fortune was gained by honest labour and careful economy ; [ had no time for study, but T resolved that my sons should have every advantage.Each had the opportunity of gaining a fine classical education, and then I gavethen a choice of profession.\u2014 The eldest would be a physician ; the second chose the law, the third resolved to follow my footsteps as a merchant.\u2014This was very well\u2014I was proud of my sons, and hoped that one day I might sce them distinguished, or at least useful to their fellow men, I had spared no expense in their training; they had never wanted money, for I gave each of them a liberal allowance.Never had men fairer prospects of becoming honoured and respected ; but look at the result, The physician lias no patients\u2014the lawyer not a single client, and the merchant is ubove visiting his counting house, \u2014In vain I urge them to be more industrious.What is the reply?«There» no use in it, father\u2014 we shall never want money, we know you have enough forall.\u201d Solouk at my disappointment.Instead of being active energetic members of society, my sous are but idlers, men of fashion and display.True they have but few vices\u2014perhaps not so many as their associates ; they have never done anything to bring disgrace upon my name\u2014but I had expected them to add to the little reputation Ï may have gained.It is not the money that I care for; as my sons say, I have enough forall.But let the physician attend the poor, and the lawyer see that justice is done to those who have not the means of paying the enormous fees now required by the members of the bar.The merchant may not need the reward of his labours, hut there are a thousand benevolent institutions to the support of which it would be a pleasure for me to sce him contribute.They would at least be useful, each in his vocation, to those around them ;

the next three; then eighteen ; then fourteen.Each stalk would besran ear.\u201d Even greater numbers than these are mentioned by Dr.Shaw, and still more by Pliny.It also often happens that one of the stalka will beur two ears, while each of these ears will shoot out into & number of lesser ears ; affording a most plentiful increase.\u2014 Pictorial Bible.DAILY BREAD.Jung 5.\u201cAnd the lofliness of man shall be bowed down; and the haughtiness of men shall bo made low ; and the Lord alone shail be exalted in that day 1se.ii.17, « Pride was not made for man,\u201d says the son of Sirach ; and \u201c the proud in heart are an abomination tothe Lord ;* and yet what is more common than pride and self-righteousness among the fallen children of Adam?So deeply are they ingrafted in our corrupt natures, that nothing short of \u2018Almighty grace can root them up.Ît is the great design and effect of the blessed Gospel, wherever it is applied to the heart by the Spirit of God, to mortify this cursed temper, In that day, the baughtiness of man, his self-will, which he set up in opposition to the will of God, sball be brought down ; and his self-righteousness, by which he thought to recommend himself to the favour of God, shall be made low ; and Christ and his righteousness alone shall be exalted.Hath this precious promise ever been fulbiled in thy experience, O my soul ?Is the will of God thy rule?Is the righteousness of Christ thy hope ?and is the language of thy heart and ife, ¢ Let God ln all things be exalled in me, and by me, through Christ Jesus 1\u201d Without this, O my soul, thy profession is vain, thy faith is also vain, sad thou art yet in thy sing Lord, lay my legal spirit low, And lofty ork subdue ;
