Why Stand We, all the Day, Idle ?

We specially call the attention of all inter-
ested in the prosperity of our city, to the follow
ing article, taken from the editorial columns of
the Louisville Journal, 9th ult. 1t opens
up no very fattering or pleasant prospect but
it is one which we must face and work manfullv
against. 1t presents facts which threaten ser
GUS loss and damage to our commerce, and there
by to our general welfare. Many of our largest
business firms are chiefly engaged in the trade
If the invitation be met and the extraordinary
inducement of rates greatly less than are in
volved in shipment to this city gives reason tc
fear it will be---we have a most discouragine
future before us. 1t will be immensely disas.
trous to u.s.
In the meantime, what are VIC doing to secure
trade from new quarters and to retain it from
old ones But little or nothing All the day
we stand idle; and the canals of other States
drain and their railroads draw our commerce
from us. Day after day, our future grows
gioomler IN the inertness of the present We
PROJECT much; we promise ourselves every
thing; we do nothing How long will there be
more folding of the hands, more doing in slum-
Der When we have been despoiled of our
strength, we will labor in feeble struggle, and
then drop off into whining and complaints. Our
wealthy property holders, who shudder at the
very idea of taxation for internal improve
ments, will idly regret that they did not bear
something to gain much, only when their houses
want tenants and their real estate finds no pur.
chasers.
That is the prospect, if the future is to repro
duce the present and the past. On the article

Under this head an appeal to the charitable

Crescent. The appeal is one which should reach
the heart of all who feel the loneliness, the utter
dependence, the eloquent helplessness of the
orphan. Every citizen, remembering how his
own GO flesh and Blood by the mysterious acct
dents of life, may hereafter be situated, should
respond unhesitatingy to the call made upon
his charity and humanity
