ESSAY ONTO SPRING. - Spring Is tie
pIeasantest season OF the year--to those
who have no bank paper coming due. The
pretty little buds and the pretty big girls
come forth to gladden. the eye The birds
and the church choirs chant their tuneful
lays and tuueful CHANDELIERS lay their cham
ces (on "aush"). The tnnefal hens also
chant about their lays, and we like chance
to lay 10 some of those '.lays"-fried soft,
with ham. The little lambs skip, and go do
business men-across the street when they
see creditor coming. The little lambs
Esmbol, and SO do the "youpg bucks".-
principally at draw-poker. The little frogs
peep, and go do the loafers-.whsn the ladies
go over muddy crossings. The walks and
the ''fellows' are getting dry. Fields and
''nobby youths" look green. The rocks
pour forth increased volumes of oil, aud the
oil operators "smile" more frequently than
heretofore. Our beloved country is at peace
and We shall soon have peas (green and
we shall have to ''sheli out" to get them)
Flowers aud things begin to sprout at the
bottom, and scboo-mams begin to ''sprout'
naughty boys 10 the same way. The rays
of the sun snake US warm, and the raise 10
the price Of besf.stsaks cool us off agair.--
Nevertheless, I~onId not begrudge the
meat, five could achieve the raise OF son.
np0p wealth 'r encourages recently mar
spsol 10 to get little sun aud air. In
our fancy we can already see the coru shoot
ing. and every time We step we can certain
Iy feel corns shooting.
How beautiful is spring and youth and
awakening life. How beautiful 10 see the
young night-watcbmen promenade in pairs
--he aud she these beautiful moonlight
nigbts-there's no moonlight at present,
but tho gas.lights from the wells is just Of
good. How beautiful is the confidence they
show in each other, they ain't afraid to
trust each other out alone together, with 90
stern parient to watch over them. What q
saving the return Of warm weather makes
in midnight coal and kerosene. Would we
were boy again to study astronomy with
the fair deities Of the night. Seeing we
can't, we like to see all the little lambs
skip and gambol. Let 'em skip. Spring IL
the plea antest season of the year.

THE TARIFF.

Probably there has been no subject upon
which there has been so much said and so
little done in these United States, as that of
the tariff. Other questions have absorbed
public attention and been discussed as
largely, but these subjects have not all come
out just where they went in as the tariff has
done. Slavery was the dominant theme in
the nation but slavery came to conclu-
sion and the subject ended itself. But the
tariff is interminable, and in the nature of
the case must ever be so. 1t is the strong
est interest of all classes who are producing
but not manufacturing, at least it appears
so at first sight-to have all articles which
they must purchase admitted into the coun-
try free of duty, because in that way they
can procure them at lower prices. On the
other hand all those who are engaged in
manufacturing, want a duty upon articles
of the same kind which may be manufac-
tured elsewhere, in order that they may be
able to realize fair profit upon the articles
which they produce and sell. Then again
the agriculturists want duties upon grain
which may come from other countries be-
cause they raise grain themselves, and often
to admit it duty free, would lessen the prices
which they receive for their labor. Then
too there is large class who purchase SUI
gars, coffee, and other things which cannot
be raised here, and who insist that they
should not be compelled to pay the large
extra prices, which tariff duties upon these
things make necessary. The Southern
States who do not manufacture naturally
fight against tariff, because it makes them
pay larger prices for their goods, which be-
cause they do not manufacture, they are
compelled to buy. The Eastern States do
manufacture and are not very largely agri-
cultural, and they insist upon a tariff in or
der to protect their interests. 1t is just the
same with Pennsylvania and northern New
Jersey. The West produces grain in i'm
mense quantities with considerable manu-
featuring, and are about equally divided on
the subject. With all these conflicting and
irreconcilable facts, it is not probably won
der that each Congress should exhibit the
fact of battle over these points, which as
all parties cannot be grati6ed generally ends
in gratifying nobody. An immense amount
of the peoples time is consumed in talking
-talking-and nothing more-only this,
and nothing more. AS yet, while a large
part Of the session of Congress has been
consumed, in it's ventilation nothing has
been done, nor is it likely tina. there will be.

THE NEW RAILROAD.

One of the proposed features of the air
line road from Philadelphia to New York,
pressed upon the last session of the Legis-
lature, was part of the country now inacces-
sible to facilities of railroad travel. The
plan however of the road did not harmon
ize with the local needs of the country, and
did not commend itself to favor, except of
course the favor of the corporators. When
the people along the line who had sub
scribed to very considerable amount, be-
gan fully to examine the matter, it was ap-
parent that they were not getting what they
wanted, and their ardor cooled. The di-
rectors Of the Camden and Amboy roads,
with their large and clear experience saw
how it could be done, and named plan
to the Legislature, which approved itself at
once both to them and to the people along
the projected line. Their plan oompre-
hended small but general interest from the
people who lived along the route-the ar
rangement of the road for local purposes,
and it's connection with the city Of Trenton
as it's central point. This would accommo-
! date all the. interests involved in just the
way that they desired accommodation. The
matter has not been allowed to sleep.
Though so little time has elapsed since the
legislative adjournment, yet the amount
necessary has been subscribed-the surveys
are rapidly progressing, the necessary con
tracts are being made, and it is expected
| that before another spring dawns upon us
the whistle of the locomotive will be heard
on its passage through the village of Pen
! nington. This, to the numerous patrons o.
the Methodist institutions of learning il
that place will be delightful news, espe
cially as the Journeys through almost impas-
sable mud are remembered, journeys toe
which necessitated the staying over for an
other day, wherein they did 60 up to see
their children For this large advantage te
the travelling facilities of our State, the pub,
lie are indebted once more to the clear bus.
| mess foresight, of the gentlemen at the
head of the railroad interest of our State.
