THE Close OF MONSTER IArGAriox.-The
Virginia Court ofAppeals have finally de-
cided the North American Trust and Bank
ing Company case, the most expensive le-
gal controversy, we believe, ever conduct
ed in this country
These suits have been before courts more
than fifteen years. The pleading and proofs,
as they came before the Court of Appeals,
occupied several large printed volumes-
The entire January term Of court wss con-
snmed In the argument Of them, and the
amount involved was upwards Of millions
Of dOllarA
The controversy grew out Of certain trust
deeds made by the North American Trust
and Parking Company, previous to its fail-
ure. to Richard NJ Blatchford and others,
Trustees, to ysecure q large Indebtedness
principally due to Palmers, McKillop, Dent
l. Co, Of London. and the Bank Of the

THE VALUE OF TIME.

When the Roman Emperor said, Il
have lost day." he uttered sadder
truth than if he had exclaimed, 81 have
lost a kingdom" Napoleon said that the
reason why he beat the Austrians was,
that they did not know the value of five
minutes. At the celebrated battle of Ri
voli, the conflict seemed on the point Of
being decided against him. He saw the
critical state of affairs, and instantly took
his resolution. He dispatched flag to
the Austrian headquarters, with propo-
sails for an armistice. The unwary Aus
TRANS fell into the snare-for few mo-
ments the thunders of battle were hushed.
Napoleon seized the precious moments,
and, while amusing the enemy with mock
negotiation, re-arranged the line Of battle,
changed his front, and In few minutes
was ready to renounce the farce of discus
sion for the stern arbitrament of arms
The splendid victory of Rivoli, was the
result. The great moral victories and de-
feats of the world often turn on five min
utes. Crises come the not Selling OF
which is ruin. Men may loiter, but time
flies on the wings Of the wind, and all the
great interests of life are speeding on
with the sure and silent tread of destiny

HAVE LOST MY WAY.

81 have lost my way" a little girl said
to me this morning. She had wandered
too far from her fathers house. 81 want
to go home" the child said, and her tears
fell thick and fast upon her little hands,
| led the little lost one home; and it was
sweet to witness the rejoicing of the pa
rents oven the restored lamb.
have lost my way, | repeated sadly
to myself in these deep labyrinths of life !;
my feet wander in strange paths the fruit
which had go fondly coveted, like the
apples of Sodom, turned Into ashes on my
lips; memories ofmy glad prayerful child
hood, come sweeping over my soul; [
have left my Fathers home, and |, toe,
want to 90 homo.
God has made the parent type of h;a
own infinite love; and if an earthly father
can say, at was meet that we should bo
merry and be glad for this my son was
dead, and is alive again, and was lost, and
is found" how much more will our hcay-
emily Father welcome the wanderers re-
turn to his protecting love! The sweetest
tears shed are those Of penitenco. Some
of the noblest steps trod arc those which
return from wanderings. A greater than
fathers love waits to embrace the prod
igal.

All the acts passed in the Northern States
for the abolition of Slavery were infrac-
tons of the constitutional provisions for
the protection of propertyi 1t follows,
also, that all the existing laws OF the Nor
thern States, by which shareholders are
forbidden to bring their slave property
into those States, and to hold and use it
there, are equally unconstitutional
What recognized rs property by the
Constitution of the United States, by
provision which applies equally to all the
States, has an inaiienable right to be pro-
tected in all the States.
But this argument puts into the Fed
eral Constitution what is not to be found
there, nor indeed even in any State Con-
stitution, unless in some Of those framed
or amended within few years past. The
Federal Constitution Ia its obscure and
rather bashful illusions to slaves, refers t,
them rs persons, as debtors, not as pro-
perty. The very provision for the return
of fugitives is based upon the idea that
the rights of the~owner, instead of berg
general right of property, were of a pc
culiar character, and only to be enforced
by special provisions. There is great
danger, however, that by constant repeti-
ton this idea will be gradually instiIled
into the public mind that the Federal
Constitution does recognize slaves as pro-
perty. 1t is an assertio, which, when
formally made, ought to meet with just as
formal a ontradietion.-N y Tribune.
The River Falls journal. (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1857-1861, 1857-12-09
slavery and the Constitution.

The Democratic party of this country
was originally instituted for the advocacy
and sustenation of the rights of man, and
especially of personol rights as distinguish
ed from the rights Of property. This, in
fact, is all that makes any distinction be-
tween aristocracy and democracy any
where. In the course of twenty years,
however, this party, which owes all its
hold upon the popular mind to its advo-
cacy of personal rights, has undergone a
complete metamorphosis. 1t is no longer
the advocate of the rights of man, but the
champion Of the right Of property in man.
To what extent in this direction the lead
ers of this party are now inclined to 60,
is evident from q very elaborate article in
late number of the Washington Union.
Following out the ideas and building on
the foundation of the d ed Scott decision,
though without any special allusion to it,
that article undertakes to impose the same
restraints upon the legislation of the
States in relation to Slavery which the
Supreme Court, by the bred Scott deci-
sion, mas imposed Oh tne ieS'si''lion VI
Congress,
Mr.. Calhoun used to argue that, as
Slavery was an institution of some of the
States, Congress had no right to adopt
any measure hostile to that institution
But this view of the case does not by any
means satisfy Mr.. Calhoun's successors
They are not content to stand merely or
the defensive. They therefore go further
and claim that Slavery is not an institu
ton of some of the States, but on tn,
contrary an institution of the Unitet
States. 1t is assumed that the Fedora
Constitution expressly places property il
slaves on the same level with other kind
of property, and extends to it the sam
| guarantees which it extends to other kind
Of property. Grant this assumption, an
! the argument proceeds at a rapid rate

The Last w isEs.

We never fail to feel when We witness
the last gasp ofthe dying, "H as morth
the effort Of a lifetime to die weN'' And
then in the crowded street and in the
solitude of the study, we find the onqui-
ry stealing over us; "N hat would YOU
most wish when yourself the actor III
that las, sad scene" The mental an

uniform, that it has become stereotyped
on the tablet Of our memory, and We read
it oft this beautiful day Of departing MAJ,

row of little hands upon the spread
a row of little roguish eyes all closed
row of little naked feet exposed.
: gentle mother leads them IN their praise,
Teaching their feet to tread in heavenly WAYS.
And takes this lull in childhood's tiny tide,
The little errors of the day to chide.
No lovlier sight this side of heaven is seen
And angels hover DER the group serene
Instead of odors in censor swung,
There floats the fragrance of an infants tongue
Then tumbling headlong into waiting beds.
Beneath the sheet they hide their tiny heads,
Till slumber steals away their idle fears,
Ane like peeping bud each face appears
All dressed like angels, in their gowns of white
They're waited to the skies in dreams of night.
And hesven viii sparkle in their eyes of morn.
And stolen sraoss sll their WAYS adorn.

SHAKESPEARE AND BACoN.-There is
as great difference between Shakespeare
and Bacon as between an American for
est and London Undergrad. In the
Undergrad, the materials are sawed and
squared and set across: in the forest, we
have the natural form of the tree, all its
growth, all its branches, all its leaves, all the
the moss that grows about it, the birds and
insects that inhabit it: now deep shadows
absorb the whole wilderness: now bright
bursting glades, with exuberant grass and
flowers and fruitage; now untroubled
skies; now terrific thunder storms; eve
