Many persons WIN have discovered

OF enjoyment in the pursuit OF ii than ia

riches together for the sake Of their chill

from the uneasiness OF care and the necess

cry one may have had occasion TO observe
IA mistaken kindness; boz still each parent
hopes that his children are OF a different
mould from those of other men, and Wilt
prove themselves able to bear prosperity
and resist temptation. even before their
spirit has been exercised, their passions
purified, and ;heir Judgment strengthened
by the experiences OF life. And it may
be, that some are 10 be found who from
happy constitution and wise traioing, are

HreHLy IMPORTANT Decision. In
The Uuned States District Court, Friday
forenoon, according TO the Boston Journal.
His Honor, Judge Woodbury., delivered
q very learned and elaborate opinion in
the case of Towne and Talbot in Equity
as. Smith.
This was a case arising under our In
solvent law, and the point to be decided
was whether a discharge under that law
was binding upon u citizen OF New York.
The bill in this case was brought to obtain
an injunction on a suit brought by the de-
fendant. a citizen Of New York, in The
Uuiled States Court, in which he attached
property of the maker. The Court dis
missed The bill, thus giving to a foreign
creditor an advantage over our own citi-
zens. The fate Of many suits now pend
ing has hung upon this decision, which
has been long wished Tor by the legal com.
munily Spy.

respects, a peculiar specimen Of Legisla-

laws already in force. and repeats others,
already repealed. In another ca Sc. pecu>

AT THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, IN MAY

Many persons friendly 10 the permanent

others. who, without being commited to its
support, desire Information in reference to
is effects, have suggested the importance
Of procuring an exhibition of American
Manufacturing and Mechanical Produces
10 be made at the seat of Government at
as early a period, during the present
Spring, as the opportunities for accom-.
pIishing such a project might allow. 1t
IS believed that an exhibition, embracing
| specimens Of every kind of handicrat or
manufacturing skill employed in the na>
ton, or at least all such specimens as may
be conveniently procured for the occasion,
together with The prices al which they
NAV be purchased, and the names OF those
by whom they are fabricated, would en-
body. in an impressive toTIn. a mass OF
useful facts which could not fail 10 be ap-
precjated as they deserve by the public au'
lhorilies upon whom rests The responsible
ity of sustaining the prosperity of the
great interests connected with this subject;
and tina, such facts collected from The daily
transactions OF the people, authenticated
BY the personal examinations OF all who
choose 10 inspect them, would furnish in
controverlible arguments in favor OF that
industry which so greatly honors as well
as enriches the mechanics of America
The committee propose that the exhibi'
ton shall be opened at Washington on the
2Oth day OF May next, previous TO which
date ample provision will be made for the
reception, security, and suitable disposition
of ali specimens which may be sent 10 theil
care.
They invite the lranmission Of speci
mems Of every kind of manufacture and
handicratt known 10 the artisans of the
I United States, and desire that the price, as
we'll as the makers name, be furnished
with each article intended for exhibition.
Committees will be appointed for the Gu
per~intendence aud arrangement and pre-
servatiou of all parcels sent to the exhlbi'
ton rooms.
The rooms will be ready to receive ar
ticles for exhibition from and after the Isl
day OF MAY. The exhibition will be KEEP
open not less than two weeks.
Owners Of parcels exhibited during the
exhibition will, unless directions to the
contrary be given, be expected to allow

THE WATCHWORD.
by ALICE G. LEE.

BY ALICE G. LEE.
Learn to despise nothing no, not even vice

l."
a watchword would'st thou have, my child,
To guide thee through the world
One that would give thy spirit strength,
Though scorn were at thee hurled
One that would lead thee in thy course,
Unbending, true and bold,
Gaining thee honor in thy youth
Respect, when thou art cd
So listen, Will. l tell to thee,
The lesson that | learned
When llfe's quick pulse, o calm and stii!,
With youths wild fever burned.
Experience hath been to me,
a teacher stern yet kind -
The only enc that fajleth not.
AS thou hast yet TO find.
4 liar is to thee a slave;
Al, vice thou latest now
For innocence is plainly writ
On thine unshadowod brow;
Thou hast a true and honest heart.
Scorning deceit ard guile,
Yet be not u~npIeparsd TO meet
With many a hidden vile.
A noblo intellect is thine:
Gem that has been wrought.
And FURNISHED by a skillful hand,
TO rare perfection brought.
But thou shalt daily meet with those
To whom thy nobler mind
Will be as tried gold to the ore
That hath not been refined.
Yet though the contact should be rude
Though thou may'st hate The lie
Shrink not, nor with a look discern
Pass him who erreth by.
IT'S net the part Of wisdom, boy,
To spurn the meane7t thing;
A lesson for thy future strength,
Thou can'st from folly bring.
The watchword, then, I give to thee,
In, "pity,--ne'er despise;"
.and thou shalt find that much Of good
Within the sentence lies.
Remember that thou mayest err;
'Twere well for thee TO pray
For wisdom, lest thou, too. should'st fall,
And perish by the way"

ed TO be specified and of course canno, be
corrected. Did The Legislature design to
repeal a law which had guarded the
Treasury by munitions, which could not
be overpassed, and which required TO be
removed before access could be had 10 the
funds of the people ; and to substitute
therefor law adapted to the precise views
of men who could not be compelled 10 &C,

act was drawn with art and design; was
specious, but studied in its phraseology,
and essentially defective In its details. 1t
was procured by men who fell the un.
compromising energy Of the acts Of 1912.
We have not time to comment more at
length upon this act. and may have mis-
construed some of lis provisions, but not
with design. W. have discovered no at.

DEAR SIR-As would not like TO suffer for the mis-

to be wronged for any supposed faults of mine There
fore think plain statement Of facts is required nom
me, as relates to the ship B. Aymar being ashore.
On the 26th the ship with signal for pilot went
board in that capacity, the wind then blowing from
the eastward and had but small lee shore was asked
by the Captain il could get the ship under way, and
clear the land, without steamer. told him would
try, but at the time thought it doubtful and SO
said We then weighed, and made sail, and soon the
ship grounded Ellis Island, the wind light and nothing
here to hurt vessel Hauled up and hauled down the
head sails and out the small anchor began heaving
when it home, tried it the second time, and com
menced heaving again. when the Captain ordered the
head sails set to which objected would be sure to
drive the ship hard aground he persisted in giving the
orders and had them all set still Directing The anchor
home the second time; wished to send out 1.-THE third
time to which he would not consent but took the boat
went ashore and in a short time returned with steamer
and Mr. Martncau for his pilot. He then told me my
services longer required, and in such kind OF
language, that thought he wanted me to pay for the
breakfast ate board which offered to do by putting
the money on the capstand
The above sir is plain statement Of the facts, as |
am willing to make oath at any time
leave It now to judges, whose fault was that the
ship grounded. Your obedient servant,
