The True Test,

How often we hear. "Ive been to see friend"
And how few ever fully feel the value Of that
word. When enemies gather around; when
sickness falls on the heart; when the settled sad
ness Of the soul like death itself, comes down;
when the world is dark and cheeress, then is the
term. The heart that has been touched with
true gold, redoubles its energies when friend
is in danger. He who turns from suffering or
distress betrays his hypocrisy, and proves that
self-interest and not your happiness sustain him
in his aiversity. Let the true friend feel that
his kindness is appreciated, and has not been
thrown away. Real fidelity may be rare, but 1t
does exist and it's power is seen and felt. The
good. the kind, the generous, are around us
everywhere if we would only seek them out.
There are many who would sacrifice wealth and
fame, everything but honor, to serve a cherished
one, and they move through the world quiet and
unrecognized because no opportunity has been
offered to draw them out.

Selling by sample-The Virginia Law Unron-
stitutisnai.
In the case of the State Of Virginia u.s. Barrett,
a travelling salesman from New York, who was
selling goods by sample, Judge Bond, of the U /.
s. Circuit Court, at Richmond, last week, decided
the Virginia law unconstitutional. The case
came up on an appeal from a similar decision by
Judge Woodward of the District Court Judge
Bond said;
Z" 1 shall order the discharge of the petitioner
in this case because am Of opinion that the law
under which he is in custody is in violation OF
the second section, article four Of the Constitu-
ton OF the United States.
BY the provisions OF the twentieth section of
the act Of Assembly Of Virginia, of March %,
1871, the specific license required Of every pe.-
son not a resident merchant who desires to sell
goods by sample in Virginia is fixed at 800. 1t
makes no difference what is the amount of his
stock either at home or present with him. The
tax is a fixed one, aud is not dependent on the
amount Of his sales.
/" On the other hand, every merchant resident
in Virginia, is allowed by the same aot to sell his
goods by sample anywhere in the State without
taking out any license such as is required of the
nonresident trader, but his special license is
much lower than that fixed upon the non-resi-
dent trader. To be sure the resident mer-
chant pays license also as trader, but his spe-
cial license is much lower than that fixed upon
the nonresident, and the whole amount with
which he is charge is dependent upon the amount
Of resident merchants sales.
In addition to the privilege Of keeping a
store and selling his goods to his customers,
upon the payment of his license the resident
merchant is entitled by the law in question to
exhibit his goods all over the State without a
sample merchants license.
II think this is discrimination against the
citizens Of other States, and comes within the
decision of the Supreme Court in Ward VS.. State
Of Maryland, by which such discrimination is
determined by the Supreme Court be unlawful.
"The ordinance of the city Of Richmond re-
quiring license from non-residents and exempt
ing residents from its application is so clearly
illegal that no argument is necessary to showit.'
