OLD TIMES AND THE TARIFF

We sometimes hear the protection of .home
industry" denounced a. a novelty. that dis.
turbs the peace of the country. We are too
much alta, he'd to the true principle OF protec-
ting what belongs TO us, 10 allow of such an
imputatlon upon the American system: and
though we de not now mean To enter upon
any discussion of the tariff question, we will
copy few paragraphs from the Report Of the
Secretary OF the Treasury OF the United States,
Tor 1871
81. That the promotion of manufactures
Chat is, our home trade.) is rendered unncc-
ccssary by the restrictions of foreign nations
on our navigation and external commerce.
-. That there is an absolute necessity TO
pro, Idle home market for the increasing pro-
drcc oi our farms and plantations.
B. That the United States sustains an inn
mense burden in the charges of importing for
cign manufactures, which amounting to twcn.
~ per cent. urcn fifteen millions oi dollars.
is not less than three millions per annum i'm
peace, and more in war
90. That no country, however fertile. has
retained lis gold and silver, il il has not man
uiacturcd.
%. That by the Intervention of women
and children, and machinery, manufactures
have been brought To require small portion
oi the labor OF men, and that these may be OBJ
tanned from abroad.
80 That judicious system Of measures 10
encourage manufactures, will draw capital
from foreign countries, tn bc employed in the
United States, in working up and consuming
our raw materials and provisisions
- And lastly, that manufactures will sue
coed III the United States. because they have
been necessarily sprinsing up. and increasing
for many years"

THE CIIILD'S LAST SLEEP.

"Thou shall lie down

There Is smilc OF that face, now pale and
cold,

o! csmly, candy thou art slumbering now.
Deafhs signet ring is on thy marble brow:
Each light wingd thought that thrilld thy
dove-like breast,
Lies dark and cold amidst thy lonely rest.
Lake the flowers perfume in it's folded cell.
When the last breath of summer hath sighed
farewell.
Yet nov, cen now art thou lovely in death,
As rose bud bleaching in autumn's cold
breath
Thy meek clos'd eyes meath the long lashes

Like the gems enclosed in the flower urn's

Thy dark raven curls DER thy uale brow wave
o. child! too much beauty hast thou for the
grave!
Thou art gone as The dew is swep, from the
bough,
Thou ar, gone where all is lovely like thou:
Methinks thy smiles may glow in the stsrlit
sky,
Or thy voice may he heard in the winds low

Oh for tho home where thy spirit hath flown
Oi Heaven thou weu, she's csllcd hack no.

And thou vert beloved fair hoy twas no
