An argument regarding four positions as
sumed by Christians Of different beliefs as to
the destinies of the wicked: /. That they are
to be utterly anuihlat.d. 2. That they are to
be ultimately restored to holiness and happi-
ness. g. That their punishment is endless. 4.
That we cannot decide which of these views
is the truth At the same time it is history
Of the discussion Of the subject of future retri.
button from the days of Christ. The dstin'
guished author courts criticism, and he will no
doubt get it, for while he announces his belief
in reward for the good, and tho contrary, in
one form or another, for the bad, he trenches
with Beecherian vgor upon many doctrinal

Legislative Good sense.

It is refreshing to find the farmers, who
are the bone and sinew of the rural districts,
having somewhat of the attention due their
class from their legislators. A bill has been
reported favorably in the Pennsylvania
Legislature to encourage the planting Of
trees along the roadside. This bill was sng-
gested by the State Agricultural Society. II
allows any person liable for road-tax q
credit of 81 for every four trees transplanted
along the roadside, the distance Of such
trees apart to range from sixty to seventy
feet, according TO variety.
We trust this bill has become law, and
that lawgivers elsewhere will do likewise
so that the farmers may be encouraged Il
fringe unshaded roads with trees to shelter
and cheer the wayiarer.
In large portions of the country, wher'
the army denuded the thoroughiares-iI
some cases of necessity, no doubt, but il
Others accidentally or wantonly-trees ar
sadly needed. Their temperance woul'
make many long mile seem short.

National Memories.


ten letter to the New York Tribune protest
ing against the lamentable decline in the
observance of national anniversaries. Fourth
of July, WAsHrSGroN's Birthday, and
Evacuation Day are not observed now as
they used to be, and, in fact, the latter is
almost entirely forgotten. For this T. W.
blames the public press, because it does not
keep alive the fire of patriotism in the pub
lie heart by alluding more frequently to the
days in question. The great trouble with
the American people is that they do not
half appreciate the blessings Of repub-
lican form of government, and arc forgetful
of what il has cost and what it has secured
TO them. They forget to commemorate and
keep alive the anniversaries of the nation :
history, because they regard freedom
and its attendant blessings as fixed fact
that cannot he changed.
1t is scarcely seventeen years since an at
tempt was made through bloody war by q
portion Of its own people to overthrow this
Government and break the bond of union
established by our foreiathcrs, and the Gov.
eminent has forgotten to punish any OF
those engaged in the traitorous act, and
thus make treason odious.' Al the loss
Of life, eifusion Of blood, and expenditure OF
treasure involved in the national salvation
have been forgiven and forgotten by tho
mass of the people, and those who made thu
war, and caused the sacrifice of life, blood
and money, are to-day occupying front seats
in the Government they failed to destroy
The insurgents have assumed an air of in
science that would fain make the world be
lieve that those who sustained the Govern
ment in that struggle were the rebels an,
traitors, and those who sought the nationa
life were the patriots of the period.
All this comes of a cooling Of the love o
country and growing indifference to tn,
cost and value of republican form of gov
eminent. We hold that the memories @
the founders of this nation should b
kept alive and fresh in the minds an
hearts of the American people, and that II
traitor to the flag and the Union should b
forgiven, or so far forgotten rs to share til
honors of Government that he woul
y have assassinated If he had not been prt
7 vented by the loyal arm of those who stoo
: between it and its armed enemies If OF
t liberties are ever lost it will be by reason
: a spirit of forbearance and forgetfulness tbs
t is full of danger, and which has been il
d dulged and cultivated at the expense of
e patriotic devotion to the institutions of
+ genuine republic.
= The truth is, the precedent establishe
d by this Government in neglecting to punis
= treason and rebellion and in honOring tho
e, who enacted that role, tends to invi
