Virginia has been so we'll and 90 long
known. This National Board Of Trade
msets but once year, and each Cham
her Of Commerce in the Union sends from
one TO six Or seven delegates. The sab
| iects of discussion must emanase from
acme Chamber of Commerce or from the
standing Executive Committee, and must
be transmitted to the Secretary OF the
| National Board ct Leaf forty days before
the annual meeting. We notice In the
programme of business that the Memphis
Chamber Of Commerce will Gallup the
question Of the abolition of oil duty on
railroad iron. The future of Memphis
hangs on herrailroads, and when thecon-
struction Of these is hampered BY tax Of
$4,000 per mile, II becomes Q serious
struggle. There are three new roads
projected leading to Memphis = the
Selma, the Mississippi River and the
Yazoo Valley. Their aggregate length
is about 600 miles. A tax Of $4,000 per
mile is nearly million and quarter
dollars. 1t is estimated that every mile
Of railroad develops $4,000 of wealth,
and yet the Government is taxing the
iron thirty per cent on cost. Nature
makes the rivers, and the Government
aids it in appropriating liberal sums to
clean out the rivers and develop the
country through which they run. But
when the people undertake to build iron
rivers, to develop the country through
which they run, the Government, instead
Of aiding and encouraging the effort, as
in the case of natures streams, says:
Stop, my friends, you cant build
uour river until you pay me $4,000
per mile for the privilege of doing so,
and that payment must be in adcancs."
This is oil wrong; and we trust the Board
of Trade, soon to be in session ct Rich
moud, will view the matter in just light,
and urge Congress to abolish the duty on
railroad iron, in accordance with the res
oIution of our Chamber of Commerce.
We understand Memphis will be repre-
scented there; and if the South and West
will move in concert, Congress may be
influenced by the action of so important
a body as that composed of commercial
men from all parts Of the Unisn, acting
for the good of the whole country,
and with no political bias to influence
them.

power in the formation.-o of character.
A young lady that has seen nothing of
real life, and only knows what she has
heard and read is greatly astonished
when she meets the distinguished men
and women of any country. They are
not equal to her standard. Young peo-
pie may be made better by contact with
that which is not so good. Instead Of
falling themselves, they should try TO
make the bad good. To be thrown in
early life among all classes and condi-
tions of people ought to be esteemed
an advantage rather than a misfortune.
The people from whom we can obtain
the most sensible the truest and wiscst
views Of life, are found among those
who struggle for existence. No one can
truly understand life unless they have
suffered. Of this we may be certain.
A truly wise mother might justly be
distressed If her child neverl knew grief
There are plenty Of people who think
they have trouble; but to feel what
trouble Is. we must be as others are.
To be really good, one must have seen
life in all its phases. A poor little bare
footed girl looks upon the elegantly
dressed lady and thinks her happy. She
mas food and clothing, and of course
plenty of sriends. She knows what
comfort, what Joy is. But she could
better understand and would better
comprehend what happiness or what
virtue is if she knew with how little
envy, indeed with what pleasure, her
ill-clad and suffering observer gazes
upon what we receive as evidences of
her happiness. The griefs are fancied:
The others are, real. But often the real
happiness is where the poverty is and
the wealth is not We are sometimes
surprised that poor people behave so
well. How many wrongs they might
commit, which are never done A
poor mother goes out to beg bread for
darling, perhaps her dying child. She
is the suffering witness of overAowing
wealth and luxury, but she dares not
interfere. 1t is her sense of justice,
the justice of her people, that protects
her. She has sufelings, but she has
also protection that wealth does not
give. God is wise. He deals Justly.
Is it not well for US to see and to know
iog ourselves such sufferings and such
virtue, that we may .nIly comprehend
his goodness and his wisdom
1t is best that children should not be
loo strongly governed. 1t is the same
in families as with nations Too much
government defeats the object We wish
to accomplish. 1t is the duty of parents
to be what they desire their children to
be. A mothers example should be her
daughters constant guide 1t is un-
wise to observe too closely slight faults
How few there are that can bear rigid
cross-examination There is nothing a
mother should SO much covet and SO
much prize as the unreserved confidence
Of her daughter. But to gain and re-
tain this confidence, we must live the
life we profess. Nothing does d child
more harm, nothing can impart to
mother greater grief, than the loss of
{7a,;s touching and tender relation which
brings the daughter to the mother in
confession of her error, or which would
prevent her return, even upon repeti-
