The generally unfavorable conditions
affecting trade, reported by Bradstreets
last week, continue unpleasantly pro-
minent. The volume OF merchandise

nearly four months old, and While
there is no indication Of the dulnina-

Taxation of Mortgages.

One Of the functions Of a newspaper
that stands first in order Of worthinrss
is that of thoughtful discussion of ab-
stract principles which apply to, I'M.
DERBY and control the interests of the
readers of such newspaper. Two weeks
ago we were handed letter for Vubl-
cation, asking us 10 "comc out on the
subject of the Taxation Of Mortgages
and in a note to which letter, We gave
our promise to undertake. such discus
sion. Before approaching the subject
directly, we prefer to acknowledge IN
advance, the fact that we have taken a
mental measurement of the question
and have found it to be u most lntr!-
cate problem in political economy; so
much so, that any attempt at Its solI'-
ton, takes upon it the appearance of
AN unwarrantcl assumption Of ability
upon our part, more especially, mas
much as we are unable to lay claim
either to prolonged thought, or con&'d-
cradle reading or discussion upon this
particular topic.
We shall therefore in this article do
little more than state the question at
iyue as we understand it and to give
The reasons WIN its discussion is paitic-
rlarly applicable ana desirable at this
ijM".
SHOULD MORTGAGES BE TANEn
The above is definite, yet by no means
solnplvto statement of the question as
We understand it,
The simple propoun1ing Of the qncs,

IF two answors, yes and no and the
very first Thought must be, who asks
the question, OF in whose int.res. is it
asked
The question evidently must not be
answered either II mortr 1ors, or mort
..agees, as such. but must be answered
having in view the object, TO perform
the greatest good to tn" largest number
which is orr conception OF the founda-
ton and underlying principal Of all
good government. While however, we
are considering the question of person

THE LAND OF THE AFTERNOON.

An old man sits IN bis garden chair,
Watching the sunlit western sky,
What sees ho in the blue depth there,
Where only the Isles Of Memory lie?
There are priucely towers and castles high
There are gardens fairer than human ken
There are happy children througng by,
Radiant women and stately men,
Singing with voices OF sweet sttune
The songs Of the Land Gthe Afternoon,
That old man watches a form Of cloud
That floats where the azure islands are,
And he sees Homestead gray and loved,
Aud hand that bccbons him alar.
o, cheek Of roses and hair OF goldl
o, eyes Of heavens divinest bluel
Longhave yo lain in the graveyard mould
But love is infinite, love is true;
Ho will find her--yes, it must be soon;
They will meot in the Land Of the Az
tornoon,
The sky has changed, aud wreck OF cloud
Is driving athwart its troubled face,
The golden mist is trailing shroud;
1t is cold aud bleak 10 the garden ploce.
The old man smiles and droops his head,
The thin hair blows from bis wrinkled
brow,
The sunset radiance has appeared
Der every wasted feature now;
-.
lie has found the Land of the Afternoon
