JOB PRENTIN
The Doomed Man.

BY J. A. ALEXANDER, d. d. seI
There is time We know not when, Fer
A point, We know not where, 81
That marks the destiny of men g
To glory or despair.
nNf,sFgsss 40 flwss1E s5 Essaests p
There is line by US unseen,
"a That crosses every path; n
The hidden boundary between
Gods patience and his wrath.
TO pass that limit is to die, a.a
tiaf To die as if by stealth; 91 rts +.
1t does not quench the beaming eye,
Or pale the glow of health.
The conscience may be still / ease,
The spirits light and gay; o4r OF
That which is pleasing still may please,
And care be thrust away. 8a
But on the forehead God has set,
Indelibly, mark, 500
Unseen by man, for man as yet ar.
Is blind and in the dark.
And yet the doomed mans path below,
Like Eden may have bloomet:
He did not, does not, will not know
r Or feel that he is doomed.
He knows, he feels, that all is well,
And every fear is claimed: b. e.
He lives, he dies, he wakes iRhell,
Not only doomed but damned.
o, where is this mysterious bourne,
By which our path is crossed; g..
Beyond which, God himself hath sworn,
That he who goes is lost
How far may We go on In sin !
How long will God forbear!
Where does hope end and where begin
The confines of despair!
An answer-from the skies is sent: 1t
He that from God depart. -
While it is called to-day, repent!
And harden not your heart.

C0PYRIGHT-Oncs More.

That the fundamental issue between the
advocates and opponents of international
Copyright is moral one, is perfectly I'M
derstood. We who stand for the Rights
Of Authors maintain primarily that 1t IS
dishonest to profit by their labor or enjoy
its fruits without paying them therefor.
Carlyle's admirable letter about Rob Roy
and his mode of perversely obtaining beef
hit the nail exactly on the head. All who
have argued the question on our side-we
cannot remember an exception-have dis
tinctly affirmed or clearly implied that the
denial of international Copyright is practi-
cal confscation-virtual robbery. When,
therefore, The Times represents this view
of the question as peculiar to The Tribune,
it resorts to a characteristic finesse where
of the essence is untruth. We hold on
this point with the great body of thinkers
whose thoughts find utterance through the
English tongue, as they have openly or
tacitly affirmed. If to state their convic
ton in plan. cool, connected Anglo-Saxon,
be '.Bilhrgsgute," then it is impossible
ever to demonstrate against great public
wrong without mourning the imputation of
scurrility. Our ofiense, if there be any,
inheres in our elemental and long-cherished
convictions, and not in the form of their
expression.
The Times, perfectly aware that our
side base their appeal on eternal, immutable
Right, commenced the discussion ef Its

The Times is mistaken in assuming that
"the method and ertent" OF remuneration
cannot be the same for authors as tor other
PRODUCERS. The general rule which covers
all alike is-"Do you choose to appropriate

If Yes, then pay him what he asks tor It,

but we think fifty years none too long tor a
copyright to last, and believe that would
not raise the average price Of books more
than ten per cent, if at all. As soon as
the first glossof novelty has worn of, books
would necessarily be sold cheaper and
cheaper, in order to be sold at all. This is
now the case under Copyright, and would
be still more so if Copyright were more
general.
The Times argues that "a very small
amount of brains" would suffice to show
that International Copyright would favor
the monopoly of reprinting new English
books by single great house. Perhaps
so but q larger amount would enable one
to perceive that the exact contrary would
be the effect. To reprint new English
books successfully in the absence of copy

reproduction from the first copies received,

ers would bid against each other for new
books, and no one could engross nearly the
whole. Now we assert as a fact within
our knowledge that the greatest American
republishers of new British books are in
tensely hostile to International Copyright;
we farther assert as fact that the Editor
of The Times has for years maintained
intimate and profitable business relations
with that house; and we add the express
sion of our confident belief that The
Times's foray on International Copyright
was impelled by considerations hereby in

"dishonest motive" in the premises, but
we strongly feel that it is melted to assail
International Copyright by considerations

MORAL SUASION ON STILLS.

The Grand Jury of our City, which
closed its labors on Saturday, was appalled,
at the extensive and increasing prevalence
of Crime among us, as indicated by the
facts brought officially to its notice.
The causes, as it very correctly ascer-
tanned, may be ultimately resolved into
two-l. Idleness; 9. lntemperance. And
therefore the Grand Jurors proceed, as they
ought, to dilate to set forth and commend
remedies in general Presentment.
1t seems very clear in our eyes that
proper and efficient remedies are indicated
by their statement of the causes. A man
suffering pain from having his hand pinched
in wise would hardly think of first apply
ing poultices or taking laudanum to deaden
the sense of pain; he would begin by re-
leas ng his hand. So when we have deter
mined that Idleness and Intemperance are
the main causes of Crime, Degradation and
Misery in our City, we have virtually set
tied that the true remedies therefor are
those which will give employment to the
idle and remove the temptations and tacili-
ties to Intemperance. If this be not plain,
what can be :!
The Grand Jurors, however, have very
different theory. They do not even hint
they do not seem to have suspected-that
systematic effort to find work for the destl-
tute is requisite and desirable. And as to
Intemperance, one of the objects avowedly
cherished by them is that of comprising the
death of 1.-THE spirit of Total Abstinence.
With this view, they recommend that
l. Unlicensed dealers in Alcoholic La
quors be prosecuted and stopped;
9. The annual charge for Tavern La
cense be increased from $40 to 500;
3. The sale of Liquors [by retail, We
presume, be divorced from that of Gro
ceries and other merchandise, and confined
to licensed dealers in Liquors only.
These are the Grand Jury's three rem
edies: Let us consider them:
But first word as to the Jury's appall-
ing facts:
Our City is fearfully deluged with Crime !;
and, worst feature of all, it is mainly Jure-
male Crime. Four-fifth of the complaints
brought before this Grand Jury for the
higher grades of felony were against MI
nors, Two-thirds of all the complaints
were against persons between the ages OF
IL and 81 What dreadful harvest OF
Crime is our City now rapidly preparing |!
And why did not the Grand Jury, SO anx-
ious to crush ",he spirit of Total Absti
nence" obhge us with an inquiry and state
ment as to the proportion of this grand
army of Juvenile Felons who are infected
by that spirit !
The Grand Jury tell US that our City is
full of unlicensed tipphng-houses; that the
Chief Of Police and his subordinates fire.
