fading and imperishable sky, spread out so
magnfcently above him, and say all this is
the work of CHI ance. The heart of such a

garding themselves as only the creatures Of
time, endowed merely with the animal pas
sions and Intellectual faculties; their pro-
ects, aims and expectations, are ciFcum~
scrbcd by the narrow outline of human
life. They forget that instability and decay
are written as with sun beam, upon all
earthly objects-that this world, with all
its pageantry, and pOmp and power, is
crumbIing to the dust, that the present life
is scarcely deserving of thought, except>

and that he alone acts prudent or rational

1t may be weakness though growing out

the desire that is in us TO make the city

The green yew that filings down its shadow,
the wild flowers that spring up in the long
grass, take away from the dessolatiOn; they
are the type and sign of the world beyond
themselves. Even as the spring brings
back the leaf of the bough, the blossoms

return that which is now but little human

The lsetreMcIrrnent Bill.

II will be seen by the proceedings
that both branches OF the Legislature
have again before them the subject o.
Retrenchment. The Wings Of the Sen
ate are manluIIy contendng for the bill
of the House, reducing the pay OF mem
bers, while their opponents, who have
the power 10 act, with one or Two excep'
tions, seem determined to sir0nge the
proposition outright or 20 defeat it by
cumbrous, crude, g. impr0cabIs amend
ments. We hope better counseIs may
prevail and the plain and simple propo-
stioD be carried through; but we have
reason to fear this will not be the case.
The people will know whore TO fix the
responsibility.
In the House, new bill has been
brought forward and discussed and will
undoubtedly prevail in that branch. 1t
proposes a reduction Of the salaries OF
the Secretary, Auditor, and Treasurer
Of State, their Clerks, the Superinten
dent of the Luualic Asylum, &C., and
nbolishes an office now provided for 10
The Pententiary. &c. sc. Not having
& copy OF the bill before US, we cannot
state exactly the extent of reduction in
each case, but we presume it 10 sufii
GENTLY great. Olher measures will be
reported in The House TO the same end
The people Of the State have the most
iucon;estsbIs evidence OF The disposition
Of The Wing majority of the House, to
carry out in practice their professions
on this subject. They have ac'od in
good faith, and exercised sound dis
elimination in oil lhey have done -
There is no manifestation Of spleen or
political pque, and no disposition to ap-
ply a rule TO thsr opponents they are
not prepared to apply~to themselves. -
We trust they will push the work for
ward. with all possible rapdity, and ap-
ply the pruning knife, wherever it is
needed, without fear or favor. Ii is duo
TO themselves and those they represent.
They have already earned, the plaudts
Of the people by their prompitude and
spirit. Let them not WaVer. The
empty boasts and professions Of those Of
their opponents who, while they pre-
tend to desire and insist upon thorough |
work, are throwing every obstacle in
the way fits success, will be appracla,.
ed. There are yet multitude Of sine
cures to cut of, numbereSs leaks in the
Treasury to stop, and a great variety Of
Reforms 10 introduce. Above all things,
let them not neglect TO reduce, in every |
possible way, the enormous expendi
lures for useless Printing II is among
the possibilities Of the future, that the
public pInting may get faHto Me lot Of
Tie State JGmndii but as we expect to
earn all we get and not 10 tax the State
in order TO build up monopoly in our
behalf, we shall not complain at any
rule that may be laid down now, having
fall confidence in the judgment Of the
present Legislature.
P. S. The second retrenchment bill
passed The House this morning. The
aggregate saving TO the State should
this bill pass The Senate, in the present
shape, will be as follows;
