Who Will be Last?

WHO will belfast to come over from amongst
the discontinued and join the great body of
the people in Il movement which they be-
lievc will reStore peace and contentmcnt TO
the land? Mr.. BROOKS, in his pleasant book
on China, Japan, &C., speaks OF the immense
hocks of ducks raised blythe Chinese living
in boats on the Pciho river. Each boat turns
into the river every morning its flock of
ducks, which swim to the marsh, and there
feed all day. When time to return comes, Il
shrill whistle from each boat calls back the
many hundreds of ducks to their respective
boats, which they all reach promptly without
a single mistake !; but the "last duck" gets
a whipping for being last, and that. duck is
never behind again.
Now, who will be the last duck in the
general gathering of the great flock under
the national roof? 1t is time to come home,
and we conjecture that the last duck will
never he The last again. There will be that
in tine loneliness and want of sympathy with
friend and nciehbor that will inspire IA meIl-
tai dread of being last, and that will prevent
a repetition of the "Situation.'

The New York Tribune appropriately
contrasts the conciliatory policy of LINCOLN
in all matters of discord in the ranks of his
own party with the petty disposition for in
tcrrncddliug in such ieuds and taking sides
with one faction or another which has been
SO conSpicuousIy displayed by GRANT. No
previous occupant of the presidential chair
has so lowered the dignity of his Office by
such Il course. Bad enough TO interfere in
such tcuds, however respectable the parties !:
in the ease Of the wars of The southern fac
tionistS, carpet-baggers, and negroes, the
blackguardism of the contestants made it
diSgracclul beyond measure to take sides
with either And yet GRAFT has entered
into the quarrcls Of these creatures with
earncstncss, rs though it were duty. He
seemed to enjoy the taking sides with one
set of blackguartS and rogucs and drawing
down upon himself the hatred of the other
party. The intermcddler will not receive
much gratitude from the parties he has
assisted, while their adversarics will help to
bring upon linn the penalty of folly and n
pcrycrSc and grovcllng nature.

prise Is TO be accomplished i'll few years.
We have no objection to the agents. 1t is
all the better that they arc just the men they
arc. They know the way to capital, and
they know how to get it; and when they get
the capital and invest it, the great interest it
creates viii be indeStructible. Money
plauted III railways cannot be removed,
and where u mans money is there
will be his heart. The great railway
becomes hostage for the South and
guarantee for liberal measures as we have
already said, a. dStributiye agent, helping
largely to maintain the equilibrium of the
circulation. 1t will be, in fact, main artery
from the very heart of the power Of the land.
And, moreover, it will be work for all time.
However much Messrs. FoRNEY & Co. NAV
make out Of it, 1t will survive them, and be
fulfilling its great mission when they are dead
and forgotten. Reversing the Shakspearean
adase that the good that men do is inferred
with their bones, this great good will out
live Colonel FoKNE., and many ages after
him, and outweigh all the evil that he and
his compeers may have done their country.
For these reasons we hail the Southern
Pacific railway as of more national import
ance than any other projected work, and
trust that it may 80 forward rapidly to eou,-
pletion, aud that its builders may be richly
rewarded for their labors.

VoICEs OF THE LOVED ONES SIN
the mountains Of the Tyrol it is the
custom Of the women and the children
to come out when it is bedtime to sing
their national songs until they hear
their husbands; fathers and brothers
answer them from the hills on their
return home. On the shores of the
Adriatic such a custom prevails
There the wives of ihe fishermen come
down about sunset and sing a melody.
After singing the first stanza they lis
ten awhile for the answering strain
fom Off the water, and continue to
sing and listen till the well.knowr
voices come borne on the tide, telling
that the loved ones are almost home.
How sweet to the weary fishermen, as
the shadows gather round them, must
be the songs of tho loved ones at home,
who sing 10 cheer him; and how they
strengthen and tighten the bonds that
bind together these humble dwellers
by the seal Truly, it is among the
lowly in this world that we find some
of the most beautiful customs in prac~
tice.
