Our Need.

we are not OF those addicted to
icroaking, nor disposed to find fault
when things don't exactly 90 as they
should, well convinced that to every :
thing there is season; "toy and sor-
row, prosperity and adversity,"' so to
speak, make up the sum and substance
OF lie. Hence, why should we growl
fhat, because we have been permitted to
taste OF the one, we should also be re.
CURED to experience the otAer3 Yet,
however, praiseworthy 1t may be to
bear our ills with manly fortitude and
Christian resignation, it will not do to
accept all that may befall us as having
peen inevitable. Far from it ! Indeed
spost of our misfortunes are self.in-
ficted, originating from scme fault of
our own-a fact, however, which most
men are slow to acknowledge. Let one
succeed in an enterprise; and though
chance or accident should have contri-
buted more towards its successful issue
than any action of his, yet how proudly
VIII he claim The merit Let it be
otherwise, and he'll Iail at fate, though
the fault be all his own And how
careless we are to profit by the lessons
Of the past : :"
Inquire Of the many idlers among us
why 1t is that they are not proftably
employed, and they'll tell you it is be-
cause work is not to be had. Most Of
these men for years depended upon
railroad traffic for q Livelihood, are
doomed TO idlepess, and deprived OF
iheit earnings in consequence of the
long continuancs'of the miners strike.
Nor are they the only sufferers. The
whole community share thei- loss and
feel 1t in one respect or another-some
by a greatly reduced trade, others BY
the difficulty experienced in making
collections, or by both. And thus it
will be SO long as our people shall con-
tlnue to place their sole dependence
upon railroad traffic. In fact, with the
present facilities for mining, and a
superior system of transportation, moth.
ing like the steady traffic of former
years can be expected hereafter, since
few working months will at any time
suffice to CLINT the market. Hence the
same causes, which now so seriously
affect our prosperity may be predicted
70 operate to our disadvantage here
after. we may not be troubled with
strikes, but we should certainly be
by frequent suspensionsl Under these
circumstances it'is' we'll to- look about
us to see what can be done to direct our
surplus labor into different channels.
Our location is all that can be desired.
Two railroads, navigation to tide water,
good wafer power, and our close prox-
unity to the coal fields, give us such ad-
taDtages for manufacturing establish
ments as are possessed BY few towns in
the interior OF the State. The few

able to demonstrate that we have pro-
