simple and natural consequence Of the departure OF
their brothers to seek their fortunes, and OF the late
age TO which marriage is deferred THIS state OF hings
was only beginning to manifest itself when the Old
men row eo e. were making the lament We have
quoted but several Of them lived to witness the com
10. rcial coIvusion of 1887, which we see over again
at this day. In the midst Of that fearful crash taere
was comfort in the hope that adversely would ex
pode the pomps and vanities OF the rising generation
In the wns restore them to the simple tastes aud
wholesome aims Of their fathers of their rural fell
low. citizens Some benefit Of the sort there was;
but there is too much evidence now that 1t was very
shot-ived. But there were other good effects which
it encouraging 10 cal 10 mind 10 the preseD. crisis.
WbeI the banks were falling, like a string OF boys
stumbling in siding down the slope of Boston Con-
mon ard President jackson stuboornly declaring
still that be "would take the responsibility" the
grief was not so much for tie great merchants who
had lost nions Of dollars as for the widows, spin
steIs and minors, whose little all was gone when the
mil-corporatlons were bankrupt, and public works
collapsed. There hundreds Of fatherless FAM.
lies who could not be educated according to their pa
rents ,taion life; there were widow ladies by
huudrede who must open boarding lses or see their
daughters 60 into the mills, or turn TO some inferior
occupation, If they meant to live. These We're the
cases in regard which did not envy the sturdy
President jackson his responsibility. AS for the
citizens, they would do very wen-snd only
too soon. Commercial failures are got over more
easily there than people in older stage Of society
understand like. The year before that crash,
the pastor OF o1e OF the largest churches in New York
declared that going the list Of no asehoders in
bis congregation, there was not one commercial man
who had fail ed siIce bis settlement tn cir pas
tor All seemed 10 have recovered their social posi-
tion il, indeed, they had ever lost it; and there was
10 occasion to spend much compassion on them. Bat

women and with the artisans Of the towns and labor

forthcoming for helpful purposes, even when gold end
silver more seen, and bank notes are
hea'ed as old rage. The first dreary struggle over
there was burst of new life, which it did good
TO See. Young people married to live and love, and
work happily, and not 10 exhibit equpage, aud enter
into gambling rivashp of gentillty. The cities put
On something of the primitive charm Of the country,
while in the country, the residents, who had been
working all the while, were less discoDposed by the
crash than cDy body else. YeOmens daughters, who
had worked in the mills the schools, at the desk,
TO clear of a mortgage from the family farm, or edu-
cate brother at college, were now the most indepen
dent and the best able to hep the sufferers la shot,
work became more honorable, and ostentation ess So
there revival Of true Iepublicso morals, and the
sdveIslty which was iTret~ev&ble for too mary inn0
cent individuals, was benefit, the whole to the
con muniiy.
1t viii not DO TO boast of the benefit as permanent
radical, except in the case OF individuals; for 1t Is
the present crash is not of mder character than tn st
of quarter of a century ago. The warehouses ana
paatal mansions OF the great ports are more absurd
built up out Of an upsart and Taostory instead OF
hereditary fortune; the scarcity Of sound methods of
investme Mt greater hardship to email capitalists
and humble annuents; the levty with which CON-
mtrcia failure is regarded is even more striking than
formerly; and perhaps 1t may be said that, On the
whole the most conspicuous class concerned has not
improved in the interval. But yet there aio oroad
grour ds of Tor the best friends of the
Republic. New fields of industry and production
have beer opened TO the West; and ia the Eastern
States industrial pursuits have extended 30 as to en-
brace new classes. Though vast amount OF perty
has become worth only two thirds, half, or quarter
of what it was while the same number of people
have to live, there ia still plenty for every body the
true republican spirit presdes the distribution of
the hour; in other words if the old American telpfa
pess is as strong in meHs bearts as it ways wss
There is plenty Of food in tbs West aud there
bour dess 10 the sc and the commerce, and
the energetic spirit Of the country If the natl will
but recognize the lesson of the time that "the life s
"more than food aud the body than raj nent," that
domestic peace is better tina show, and secure COM
fort than perilous ostenta'ion the American people
may come out from this trial wiser spd happier than
they have been yet in their Individual lives Ii
is a solemn aud thoroughly hopeful consideration 10
regard TO their national welfare end honor that every
event which helps to show the poblenees of labor aud
the vulgar instability Of idle luxury briggs the
doom Of that institution which cannot coeAist with
genuine IepubcaDisn. The present crash is rendiug
and tearing the supports Of Ssyery and must Sc its
