Sci oul a Shade Tree.

You admired those trees in Mr..
F-'s, yard, last summer. How
cooling their shade, how ample and
rich their graceful loIiagel How
finely they set of the house behind
th, m! Yousaid TO yourselfthat those
trees added $500 to the value OF
his premises, and you resolved that
when another planting time came
around, you would set out good
lot of trees around your own home
stead, and along the street in front
of your land. Now, that planting
tine has commenced, be sure and
keep your VOW. Don't say, / haven't
time or it won't pay, or ! am getting
too old to plant trees, shall neverlive
to sit under their shade. Don't in
dulge in any such vain pleas for in.
dolence. You have time to set Out
at least a few. 1t viii pay, as
every year observation shows. Very
likely yon viii live to enjoy their
shades. Trees grow very fast, il
we'll planted and afterwards well cared
for. We have known men to GO
about making the last named excuse
ten years iu succession, time enough
fer their trees to have grown to cop-
siderable size had they been energetic
enough to plant them at the onset.
And what if VOC don't live to en-
Joy their shade? Under whose trees
do you walk or ride every day, when
YOU go downthe street? Trees which
men planted before your day. From
whose fruit-trees do you gather All
abundance of delicious apples and
pears every year? Trees which men
planted before your day. Now, sup.
pose they had said: Let us not
waste ours time and money and
strength in planting trees, for we
shall not live to enjoy their shade
and fruit, the present generation
would have been poorly off in these
respects.

Repeal OF the U.ury Laws.

This question is attracting much attention in the com.
mercia world 1t has been brought before the Alabama
Legislature and from present indications all laws
will be repealed. The Eufaa Spirit Of The South in dis
cussing this subject very truthfully remarks Some
think that TO repeal them would place the money Dor
in the hands OF unconscioaable Shylocks and
that they would bc ruined We entirely differ from these
last, and in favor of having them repealed for these
reasons In the frs; place, any good
on, either in moral political economy, why man
should not get much for the of his money a. it is
WORTH the with every other species of proper
,y. Nor see any good reason why the State
should say that should charge ano;her more
than eight per cent. per for the of money
when it allows that another individual to make
from twenty-five to fifty per article of
chandise. As IT stands it benefits only two classes
OF persons. Those who charge and receive exorb
tan rate of interest, and those who after they have
borrowed mans money 4 high rate OF interest
sometimes begging it out of him, then refuse to
pay him, and when they are sued, come into
court and plead usury, thus getting the of the
money for nothing. 1t will make money cheaper for
another The money lender now not only charges
what his money is really WORTH but in addition thereto
he charges something for the risk he runs OF losing his
profits by such pleas usuy &c. Besides there il no
doubt that there a great many persons who never
loan their money because OF these risks and restrictions
who would do it il they removed.
'Bu; need not rely entirely upon argument
tain this propositionWe have practical illustration of
this in the OF England. There is no commercial
and trading country where money is cheaper than there
Taey have no usury laws but the price of money like
everything else is left the law of demand and supply
"Bu some may ask how contracts will be understood
where nothing is said about INTEREST," This can be easily
settled Let the a uhaun -
abou; it. remain say eight per cent But let parties
make their contracts and let the law enforce them
and if man agrees pay twenty five per cent let the
law compel him to do it. We say then abolish the usu-
~ laws, and when it Is done We are satisfied we
will never go back to them"
