About II o'clock, the meeting "a.
sembled in the basement of the Pres.

Col. Fielder advocating open resist
ance as last resort; but they were
followed by eloquent speeches from
our talented young representative,
Hon. T. NJ. Wannamaker, who op,
posed such principles, on the grounds
OF fraud to creditors, and the disho-
ncsty and disgrace Of such measure.
while plcdging himself to assist in de-
vlslng whatever plan of relief should
seem best to tho Legislature, when it
may be assembled.
The Rev. Mr.. Conner spoke forcibly
to the same point, and Mr.. w. NJ.
Hutson being cahed upon, explained
the difficulty Of cnacting a law in
relation to past contracts, which would
be free from the objection of uncon-
st.tutionlity, while he considered it
necessary to do something to relieve
the dlstresses of the people.
The feeling of the meeting was
emlnently conservative, as the resolu-
tions passed will show. No resort to
radical measures was scountenanced in
any degree

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.-The Times,
speaking before the Moniteur's an
nouncement, says: If the report of
the acceptance of an armistice be true,
it is a suspension of arms with a view
to signing an armistice for six weeks,
which period will allow ample time
for the settlement of the details and
signature of a peace. The suspension
of arms implies a preconcerted agree
ment on the basis of a pacific arrange
ment of the objects the war has virtU-
| ally attained. Prussia would lose all
by a defeat at Florinsdorf, and could
win little beyond victory. Austria,
on the other hand, if defeated, would
risk being swept from the face Of
Europe, while, if victorious, she could
hardly hope to retain her place in
Germany"

The Youths Tomorrow. z

Bright, cherished dream, thou hast
not yet, nor wilt thou ever reach
'Tis shrouded DER with uncertainty
deep and vague. Doth it speak to
thy young heart all glowing with
youthful fervor, and warm, out gushing
impulses, of Frightening hopes, and
golden hours, of sunny smiles, and
fower;jemmed ways? Doth thy kim
ding eye flash brighter now with
thoughts ofjoys which on the morrow's
morn, the next unfolded leaf of time,
shall fill each inlet of thy soul with
beams of rainbow hue? Do whisper
ings of some new effort to be made,
some cherished victory won, or object
gained, call forth the mystic, magic
word, Tomorrow ..-..
Behold It's far beyond thy reach.
'Tis but a shadow dimlv seen. Per
haps long ere its golden hours shall
come, thy frail life-bark, so richly
freighted with all its precious cherish.
ed dreams of sunny years, and fade
less joys, may be moored upon the
shadowy strand Of eternity's enduring
ocean. Perhaps the notes of golden
Tyres will fall upon thine ear, and
thrill thy heart with heavenly joy
ere the Earring, strains of earth again
crush out the melody from thy i'm
pulsive, yearning spirit.
Perhaps thy weary head, and some
times saddened heart, will nestle close
by an angels wing, and thine unim-
prisoned spirit soar calmly through
the golden haze which some have
called deaths shadow. Tomorrow
is yet untried. 'Tis yet with Him
who sees and rules mans destinies
For thee it may be fraught with woes
of midnight bue-perchance with joys
ofpearly lustre.
Train thy young heart to grasp the
fieetlng n0aO. Its sands are each more
precious far than FURNISHED gold
Improve its heaven lent hours with
all thy mind and might Seek for the
truthful and the pure, in all thy ways
Let every aspiration, every thought
and plan, be moulded in conformity
to Him who saith, "Give me thine
heart" List not TO pleasures sirer
voice, nor heed her dulcet strains
nor think one hour within thyself thai
life, and time, and health are thine
lmplOre celestial aid that thou may s.
so improve each golden moment as il
speedeth by, that not one pang of sterI
remOrse, one shade of dark and saC
regret shall haunt thy way, and fiji
thy heart with grief in years to come
When buoyant youth to tottering ag,
gives place, nor hover, Specter-like
around thy dying bed.
To-day alone is thine. Oh. squan
der not this precious gift, this hol,
power, in folly's idle scenes, nor SIM
dark, death fraught ways. so live
that each tomorrow shall be bette
than to-day"
Enrich thy life, improve thy mind
make pure thine heart, and guard tn
soul with wisdom's jewels, bright AM
rare, of value untold, which shal
spread DER all thy journey here below
a radiance holy, bright and pure. tn
radiance which religion and a love {
Gods holy law alone can yield. Thi
very hour prepare to live, prepare t
t die, prepare to live again, beyond til
changing scenes of time, where life
not marked by year, nor day. at
