WHICH SHALL IT Be-

II was a troubled face, with knit brow,
that was bent over two letters, pondering
over the momentous question, and Nellie
Hartley's thoughts ran something in this
form:
"What a noble, manly letter Godfrey
Churchman writes, apd how the perfect

But, then, he has nothing but the small
fortune his mother left him, and all of thai
is invested in business; then, too, he is so
absorbed in that little counting house I;
why, even this letter has the business-en-

SCARCITY OF NURSERY STocK.
nurserymen, says Rochester paper, are
receiving orders and letters of inquiry
about trees from all quarters in unusually
large numbers for the season. 1t is to be
regretted that they have not the stock to
to meet the demand. Apple trees are
the only kind that may be called plenty.
Peach trees are scarce and high, cherries
of desirable kinds are very scarce, and so
are pears. Prices Of trees will rule much
higher than usual The coming year. The
cause of this scarcity is attributed to the
fact that many who are cultivaling trees
abandoned the business or contracted their
operations under the impression that war
would cause a great falling off in the do
maod. The demand has not materially
decreased, while the production has fell
of largely. There are large fields of trees
growing IN this vicinity, and the casual
observer would suppose the stock to be
very large, but this country is the great
nursery garden of the world, and the stock
here grown has to supply many States
and tens of thousands of customers.

A Calamity and its Lesson.

The shocking calamity which recently
occurred in Santiago, the capital of Chill,
BY which upward of 1000 men, women
and children were burned alive, is one Of
the most terrible incidents in modern his
tory, and seems TO have been the result
af reckless and criminal mismanagement.
The occurrence of festival in the Rom
ish church in that city, was made the oc-
casion of grand illumination, was effect
ed by the suspension of kerosene lamps
in great numbers among hulterng
streamers of muslin, garlauds Of flowers
and articles Of similar light and tiimsy
nature. AS was to be expected, The
lights communicated to the inAammable
materials, ran up to the frame roof of The
church, and precipitated the blazing kero-
sene in showers of liquid fire upon the
shrieking victims below; who, finding no
escape from their doom, the one narrow
entrance being choked by the tremendous
pressure, perished miserably, within arms
length OF their agonzed friends without.
Passing from farther discussion of this
terrible theme, let us turn to our land and
see what insurance we have against
milarcatastrophe. Itistrue hatlittledan-
ger is to be apprehended from illumina-
tion, but are the means of egress ample
for any sudden emergency Are not
most Of the principal theaters and church
es restricted as to their outlets, and is
there any positive assurance that in the
public schools which are piled up story
on story, there will not some day, be an-
other slaughter of the innocents, similar
to that in ages past, differing only in the
means or cause of death! Are not wind
ing stair-cases with countless steps, so tor
turous that the brain whirls in ascending
them, the rule, and straight exits, and
broad, free oulets, the exemptions Most
certainly they are. And nearly every
tenement house is mt this moment anoth-
er Chilian church. In the easements of
these dwellings there are stores blazing
away with kerosene lamps, above which
precious human lives are hived like bees;
a blow, jar, is all that is necessary to
spring mine as destructive 10 life as the
most informal machine that could be de-
vised by an engineer.
And who is to blame for this state of
things9 Simply the people themselves,
that they do not compel their representa-
tives to insist that immediate action be
taken upon this subject by the authorities.
Indignation is cheap, but grief is sacred;
lives are as precious, and love as dear to
the tatterdemalion as to the millionaire,
and when holocaust Of human life is Of
fered up as burnt sacrifice TO mammon,
there are shudderings; g" horrible" hor-
rible," passes from mouth to mouth, and
soon the tragedy is forgotten. How long

DISEASE OF IMPRUDENCE.

When the misguided and imprudent yotary OF pleas
ur finds that he has imbbed the seeds Of this painful
sease it too often happens that an itimed sense Of
shame or dread of discovery deters him from applying
TO those whe from education and respectablty, can
alone befr end HIM, delaying till the constitutional
symptoms of this horrid disease make their appearance
such as liberated throat diseased nose nocturnal
pains the head and limbs, dmness OF sight deafness
nodes on the shin-bones and arms, blotches on the
head face and extremes progressing with frighttul
rapdity, till at last the palate Of the mouth or the

pear to be favorable to the Caesar OF the
White House. The sudden and utter col
lapse of the campaign in Virginia and the
West would seem to indicate far greater
weakness on the part Of the North, or
strength on the part of the South, than ap.
peared to be probable before proved by ex
pertinent. We never thought that che pro-
gress of the Federal armies in the West was
likely to be very considerable,
The farther the Northern armies are able
TO move onward into the South, the farther
they will be from thei, base, from whet-
ever quarter they may advance; the great
er will be the danger of their communlca-
tions being cut of, and the more will the
Southern forces be concentrated, while their
own viii be proportionally thinned and
weakened. Still we had right to expect
from the Federal army Of the West some
thing different from what the last news tells
us it has been doing, or rather suffering
Heretofore, though the Federals have been
beaten severely on the Potomac, and have
made hardly any appreciable progress even
iu the " est when away from their gunboats,
still they have fought great pitched battles.

consolation that there is not likely to be
much bloodshed in this pacific method of
conducting campaigns by which war will
happily be shorn of its terrors. But as the
Federals are not likely to restore the Union
by this novel system of tactics, would il
