We all know the old couplet,
"In AdEn's fall,
We sinnBd all"

and are forced to acknowledge that
there is more truth than poetry in
the plain declaration. But in the
last day the sins that will rise up
with terrific height, will be our omis-
sions of duty. On the scaffold a
condemed man was confessing his
crimes. After relating several mur-
ders, he paused a moment. Then,
with more remOrse than he had yet
shown, he resumed: 81 might have
been better man. I remember once
following a gentleman and lady out
of a village, where [ was lurking to
escape Justice. 1 knew the man had
money, and meant to rob and kill
him. had got so used to blOodshed
that I hardly thought of the woman,
and went into such things without
counting cost. [ came up steaIthily
behind the couple, and had put my
hand in my breast pocket, to draw my
knife, when the man turned his face
toward me and with a quiet smile,
bade me "Good evening""
1t was a little thing to do,
but I tell you, it saved his life. His
kindness touched me, I might have
reformed then, ifany hand had been
out to lead me in the right
way. But men looked askance. No
one cared for the vagabond, and 1
went on from bad to worse" Oh,
ministers, teachers, citizens, are we,
unwittingly, turning from weaker
who need our guidance?
God forbid that at the final reckoning,
any shall say, "YOu might have saved
me, but you would mott" Kind words;
and friendly smiles, fall upon the
weary traveller as gentle dew upon the
parched earth, or a ray of sunshine on
the timid, half-blown rose. What
effects are produced! How
Insignificant the causes
that produce them! It is our impera-
tive duty to meet and greet each 9th
er, with words of hearty cheer. Aside
from the possible good we may do
those who are tempted even as we,
we are amply repaid by the fountain
ofgood-will, ever sparkling in our
hearts.

dire results. Friends may doubt your
right to confidence. You may absent
yourself from them until suspicion is

If the eartist could transfer to can
vas the brilliant pictures, hung in the
gallery ofhis imagination; if the sculp-
tor could chiseI statue as faultless as
as he dreams might come out of the un-
hewn block ofmarble, the world would
congregate to admire and applaud. If
we each and all, could speak "the
thoughts that in us lie," what a new,
strange world would be revealed
But the artist gives US only faded pic
lures; the sculptor, only faulty statua-
ry; the poet, only broken reveries.
Across the shining river we shall
reach the acme of bliss, when these
bodies are freed from their fetters Of
clay, aud all mysteries shall be re-
vealed, all longings satisfied.

THE difference between the million
aire and the beggar, is not so vast,
after all. They are the subjects Of one
King. He enters the palace and
seizes the spoiIt heir, with a grasp as
unyielding as that with which be
snatches the child, born to squalidness
and woe, from its last crust. He
gives them at best, only six feet of
earth5 and the evening breeze sways
the grass over the lowly mound as
as it sports in the we'll
trained branches of ivy, above the rich
man. The nightingale chants the
same requiem over them, and in
lew years kindred dust proves the
common brotherhood.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-In the Su-
preme Court, Judge Clifford delivered an
important decision, affirming the de-
cision of the Supreme Court of Connec-
ticut, in the case of the Society for Saw
ages, appellants, VS.. G. W. Coates, State
Treasurer. The question was whether
deposits invested in government securi-
ties were liable to State tax. TWAS held
that tax upon deposits held by saving
box is not tax on securities, on which
they are invested; tax on deposits &C.
crues whether they are invested or not
Jadge Miller dissented, on the ground
that this was only tax on government
securities in another form.
The report in circulation to-day that
the Committee on Elections voted to re-
tain General Morgan, of the 18th Ohio

Committee, by strict party vote, six
Republicans (Shallabarger being absent)
against two Democrats, resolved to re-
port in favor of giving the seat to G. De-
lano, the contestant. They say he was
elected by eighty-seven majority. 1t is
not prabable that the report will be
made until next week.
1t is understood that the two treaties
with Italy recently, have been sent to the
Senate.

EplroRs LEDGER: Thanking you for
the use OF your columns for what have
so imperfectly tried to call attention to
four unequaled location for manufactur-
ing as a city and country, with this
very brief article / shall cease TO tax
your kindness in publishing, or that Of
the public in reading them. But what
hope can we have as a people while we
continue to buy all and make nothing I
Really, il does seem as though we had
set ourselves up as charity realm to
give our substance to all the world, less
our own children. Why you don't
tell. But last week only i noticed al
most steamer load of hides being
shipped from Memphis to Buffalo, New
York, to be converted into leather, and
then the worked leather in shoes, saddles
and harness sent back to you for con-
sumption and use. And / am told that
the very bark for tanning, to convert the
hides Of your beef cattle into leather and
shoes,is taken from your Tennessee hills
and shipped fifteen hundred miles or
more to climate where they have six
months Of winter to contend against in
making the articles zoe consume. There
are none so blind as those who will not
see. There are no tanneries here.
VIM FARRIs
The above farewell of our correspond
ent seems mournful, when the fact ap-
pears, as would seem, that his sensible
advice has all gone unheeded. We know
how hard it is to turn business from its
old ruts, and men from lifelong habits.
But we see also that manufacturing is
the best if not the only road to fortune
which is open to us. What will build up
the city, will most enrich the man or
men who undertake it We shall not
beg anybody on this subject, for we know
it would be useless. But we will under
take to find one hundred thousand dol
lars worth of unencumbersd real estate,
which will be pledged as security for a
loan of fifty thousand dollars for man
ufacturing enterprise to be selected. If
moneyed capitalists will not embark in
it at their risk, we would suggest to them
the propriety of aiding in the procure
ment of capital on sufficient securities
in aid of those who will.

In view Of such facts, these impeach-
