BUSINESS PROSPECTS.

Tho opinions OF loading business men on tho
present condition Of trade and itB prospects arc
not uniform. Though differing widely, the ron
aons OF that difference can be found in tho nature
Of tho busineBa pursued, and tho activity, OF tho
want Of Ii, that forces itsolt upon tho attention
OF tho observer. Some departmenta OF trade
and manufactures wero paralyzed by the panic
last September, ind thoy are likely to remain so
for an indefinite poriod IN tho future For many
ycnrs previous to the rovulsion, railway building
aud honda had absorbed most Of tho Burplua
capital Of tho nation as fast as It accumulated.
Tho manufacture Of iron, stimulated by IN onor-
nous tariff, WIS, therefore, active, and those
engaged In 1t werc exceedingly prosperous.
OF course, this trade is now dull, and must
continue SO certainly till the country has
time to = recover. from tho too rapid
extension Of our railways for most Of the timo
sInco the War closed. Tho manufacture and
sale of what aro properly called Injuries arc also
BY no means aotiyo. Prudent people always
cut down their expenditures In this direction
during q panio and for considerable timo after
buelness in other departments begins to revive.
Hence large class OF poople East aud West
have reason for the opinion TINT trade IL exces-
siyoly dull.
Let us now inquire what elements Of Aopo
taore arc for a gradual aud suro return to q
reasonable degree Of prosperity. Most Of tho
liquidationa caused by tile panic hpye been
etIected. Tho IoBses have boon charged OF,
and, while the capital aud stock sohod-
ules 4ayo sunk down sadly enough
for many mon onco In tho list Of
millionariee, yet 1t cannot be denied thst tho &C.
tual wealth OF tho nation has stoadily increased.
True, many of tho new railways defaulted OIL
tlloir intorost and most Of thom passed their
dividends, but by far the largor number Of roads
paid tho interest on their bonds promptly, aud a
few haya deolared dividends On their stock. III
addition to- that, Interest duo to individual capl-
talists, lifo.insurance companies trust funds Of
all kinds, In tho aggregate amounting to tons OF
mtlliona Of money, has boon paid. To this must
DO added tho interest disbnrsoa by tho Govern
ment eyory ak mont1,a. and tho profits on tue
grocery and other departments OF trade, many oi
which have boon doing successful bust.

The Soul SleepeIs.

In q pleasant and romantic valley oI
West Virginia, surrounded by majestic
mountains whose tall SUBMITS kiss the
clouds, Is ureligious community known
as "Soul Sleepers." who are beginning
to attract some attention. Their pecu.
liarity is, that when the body dies to be
resolved into it's original elements, tie
soul, the germ and principle of life, be-
comes inactive, in other words, goes in.
to II sleep as profound as the grave,
which is TO endure until the morning OF
the resurrection, when all are to be
called 10 the bar Of Omnipotence, the
good and just to receive palms of vic.
tory and crowns of glory, and the
wicked, not to be cast into an eternal
hell, but to be annihiliated. The foun.
der Of the sect was German, who got
the idea from all old Hebrew manu-.
script, which he obtaired while travel.
ing in Palestine. They arc said 10 be n
simple people, industrious and thrifty,
and highly moral and temperate in
their habits.
