MISCHIEF-MAKERs.

OH could there in this world be found
Some little spot Of happy ground,
Without the village tatt ing
How d ubly blest hat spot would be
Where sll might dwell in liberty,
Free from the bitter misery,
OF gossips' endless prattling.
II such spot were really known,
Dame Peace might call it all her own,
And in it she might 6x her throne,
For ever and for ever:
There ike a queen might reign and live,
While every one would soon forgive
The little sights they might receive,
And be offended never.
'Tis mischief makers that remove
Far from our hearts that warmth of love,
Ard lead US all to disapprOve
What gives another pleasure;
They seem to take ones part-but when
They've heard our cares, unkindly then
They soon retail them out again,
Mixed up with poisonous measures.
Aad then y se e. q cunni-g va
OF telling I'll meant tales, they say,
" Don't mention it, pray,
would not tell snother:"
Straight to your neighbors then they go,
Narrating everything they know;
And break the peace of high and low,
Wife, husband, friend and brother.
Oh that the misunderstanding crew
Were all reduced to one or two,
And they were painted red or blue,
That every one might know them
Then would our villagers forget
To rage and quarrel, fume and fret,
And falling into angry pet,
With things so much below them.
For tbs sad, degrading part,
To make snother's bosom smart,
And plant dagger in the heart,
We ought to love and cherish.
Then let us evsrmore be found
In quietness with all around,
While friendship, JOY and peace abound
And angry feelings perish.

GRACE makes a good heart-memory, even
where there is bad head memory.
GIVING to the Lord is but transporting
our goods to higher floor.
He THAT lays out for God, lays up for
him.
The Two CALLs.-GOd calls men when
they are busy; Satan when he finds them
idle.

To SAY anything, however true of itself,
of which we have not hearty conviction at
the moment, breeds habit of insincerity.

Gotten SganIsfacture Changing
Base

4 Northern paper discusses certain
chang es IL trade and manufactures in
the North and East, such as have been
brought about by Atlantic telegraphs,
byextenSIOn Of railways, and by the vary
ing coalitions OF agriculture and the
me clalIc arts.
Finally, it has to say of the manu-
facture Of cotton fabrics, this:
On the other hand, certain branches
OF our production have been over
done. There are large WOODEN and
cotton mills With for the past ten
years, have not paid one per cent.
profit. The cotton mills of Massachu-
sctts are compelled now to reduce
their productions by one-quarter.
This means a great change IN the
business at the points of distribution
and sale, such as New York and Bos-
tor. Il wouid seem that throughout
the world certain articles of necessity
have been produced beyond the de-
manl. and for time capital must be
Withdrawn from various branches of
manufacture. It is a period OF ebb
aud flow in the tides OF capital, and
| this means great uncertainty il bust
ness.
These remarks touch only On the
! fac5 that cotton manufacture III the
! North no longer pays as formerly. The
reasons assigned for that fact, are,
! however, false.
The truth IS, that the rate of wages,
/ the cost Of living. the freights on raw
material and the short working
| year, have slowly and surely
! tranaferretl> the area of profitable
/ cotton manufacture to the South
/ and the Middle States. The demand
! for the coarser fabrics, negro wear, has
also greatly fallen of. for the freedman
purchases now for himself and buys
| pinchbpck jewelry and kickshaws with
/ One-haii tho money with which his
planting owner bought brogans from
Lynn, linsey from Lowell, and osna-
burg from Fall River. This has con-
tributed to cut off the margin of profit,
and in addition thereto is the much
greater fact that capital, enterprise and
labor has been diverted in the South
ern and border States from agricul-
turl and planting to manufactures,
affOrding home market for the staple,
gaining home market for the finished
fabric and finding that the saving OF
two freignts, of ten to twenty per cent.
in labor, and of another twenty per
cent. in the working time, gives them
| leave to underse1 the Northern and
Eastern factory.
Hence the rapid increase and full
profits of cotton manufactures N the
South, especially North Carolina,
Georgia and Alabama. With the ag-
gregation of capital this process grows
faster, and with the full development
of the cheap Goals in the Kanawha val
/ lev and in Northern Alabama, the pro-
gress will be still moro accelerated
until within the next twenty years the
States south of the Potomac and east
of the Ohio will manufacture the whole
of their textile fabrics and New Eng
land must seek markets outside of the
United States. fTugi?ai0n.

and merely involves dredging the length
of Lake Barataria.
We take no further part in this miser-
able middle. If the choice of the COM
mercial men of New Orleans and the
favorable report of civil and military,
federal and State engineers can not carry
the Fort st. Philip canal over the outside
and eleventh hour schemes by those who
have never made survey at all, further
reasoning is useless. The defeat of all
plans is evident. There is even a tele-
graph rumor that our own Senator has
yielded to the persuasive power of the
protector who is able to spend million
before he touches a cent of indemnity.
We give no credit to this rumor, but sup
pose it will attract sufficient attention to
require refutation. The Eads' CORE
spondents are very active and usually
keep the public informed in advance. If
events do not occur according to the tele-
graphic programme, it is evidently the
fault OF the events. No doubt Chicago
knows the fact before now, as one which
would complicate still further the OBJ
stacles of the outlet.

EASTER.

| Upon the belief of the Apostles in the
event which this day celebrates the
Christian Church is founded. 1t is the
queen of festivals, and has been kept as
such from the beginning. Had Christ not
risen from the dead, or had His disciples
not believed that He died, there would
never have been any Christian festival to
celebrate-never any Christian Church to
institute festivals The Saviour, if remem-
bered at all, would rank with John the
Baptist, perhaps little higher, as jew
ish prophet and wonder-worker, instead
Of being worshiped as the Messiah. the
inc arnate Deity; or reverenced and loved
as the Master sent of God to lead into all
truth. The doctrine of the resurrection
is one that will not bear profane handling;
and yet it has been favorite with cavil-
ers, philosophers, and scientists from the
begi ming, some maintaining that it must
be either accepted implicitly in spirit of
faith or rejected altogether, and others
equally devout assert that it can
be logically proved to the satisfaction
Of unbiased reason, while third class
boot at it as an absurdity too monstrous
for anything but the b1ain of a fanatic.
There is fourth class, the gentle sceptics
OF the Renan school, who neither wholly
accept it nor yet wholly reject it, but SIM
ply explain it away as a happy delusion
of the Apostles-a fact to them from the
warmth Of their hearts and the liveliness
their lmaglnations, bu. a fact in no other
sense. According to these theorists, the
Apostles really did see the risen Christ,
but it was as Hamlet had seen his father
previously to the appearance of the ghost
in their minds eye." This corresponds
in measure with the views of the Spirit
ualists, but is less logical; for they main
tain that it was the spiritual body of
Christ which the Apostles saw, their spir-
itual eyes being opened-just such spir-
itual body as each one of US possesses in
closed within the natural body, and to be
released therefrom at death.
This theory, though more logical than
that of Renan, which attributes the belief
Of the Apostles in the resurrection wholly
to an excited Imagination, has the same
namely: the failure to &C
count for the disappearance of Christs
natural body, which is part of the record
not to be ignored. In view of the diff
culties surrounding the subject when
viewed from a naturalistic standpoint, and
Of the great benefit which the world has de-
rived from the doctrine as accepted by an
overwhelming majority of Christians, is it
not the part of wisdom to leave disputa-
ions thereon to philosophers and cavil-
ers, wise in their own conceit, and
,umbly but joyfully join in the grand
Christian chorus in honor of a risen
saviour, ''Christ is risen, Christ is risenr

and among the brokers, about some OF
the statements which have been pub
ished, but as the fancies of newspaper
reporter do not make good evidence, it is
probable that many of the sensation
rumors that have been started will be set
at rest as soon as truth can get around
with her clutches.
We feel satisfied that the Mayor and the
committee of investigation will make
rigid examination into every detail, and
simply mete out justice. That is all any
body can ask. Ii Mr.. Schneider has been
guilty of improper conduct, he should be
punished in proportion to the gravity of
his ofense. If he be innocent, as we sim
cerely hope he is, he will be triumphantly
exonerated from blame.

In our report of the meeting of the
school board of Wednesday evening, an
injustice was done Rev. Herman C. Dun
can which should not be allowed to pass
unnoticed. Mr.. Duncan was suspended
and not dismissed, and the action of the
committee was not founded on belief in
his incompetency, but his inability to con-
troll the scholars under his charge. The
board sustained the action of the commit
tee, but there was no intention to reflect
on the ability of Mr.. Duncan, who, as a
sincere Christian and an educated gentle
man, has every qualification required in a
teacher except the physique and power to
control others necessary in the position
he occupied.

OUTLET DISPUTES.

1t must amuse Chicago greatly to see
the disputation which st. Louis has
started in regard to the execution of a
work to which Chicago would never give
her vote. This disputation will save
Chicago some trouble, for she will have
nothing to do except to defeat the several
schemes in succession, and she will have
the aio Of each Of them to defeat the other.
