the clouds that are never rent with rain,
and the shadows that are inlaid with
crimson lie away IN the west.


We have sometimes seen a little cof-
fin, like caSlIet of jewels, all alone by
itself in a huge hearse, melancholy with
plumes, and gloomy as a frown, and we
have thought not so should we accompa-
ny those a liltle way who 90 in the morn

not take the little coffin into the carriage

laps, the sleeper there lulled 10 slumber

wondered what there was for tears in
such going-in the early morning from
home 10 home-lille fair white doves with
downy wings emerging from neither night

dows of Heaven. Never has there been
a hand wanting to take the wanderer
in, and shut out the darkness and the
storm.

forgotten toy; smooth the Impressed pill
low, and gently smile as you think of The
white garment, Of the harp Of gold, and
of the fair brow with its diadem of light;
smile as you think that no years can
make that memory old. An eternal,
guileless child, waiting about the thresh-
old of Paradise for the coming friend

Here the glad lips would culver with
anguish; the bright curls grow grizzled
and grey: the young heart weary and
old; but there, changeless as the stars,
and young as the last new morning.


The poet tells of green bough rent
by the tempest from the tree, and swept
rudely along on the breast of an angry

Gentlemen Your generous note,
inviting me to partake of public ban

engagements incident to my departure,
it was found impossible to reply in
terms fitting the occasion; hence this
delay, which | pray you to excuse.


1t is needless for me to assure You Of
the high degree of pleasure which a
guished would afford me, nor how deep
" sensible | am of an honor SO unexpec-
ted and undeserved. But it seems to
me that there are obstacles in the way
of an indulgence which are insurmount-
able. and considerations which render
self-denial an imperative duty. Though
it might be quite safe to incur the risk
Of precedent from anything SO humble
a person as myself might do, yet it
seems to me that demonstrations for
popular approval for judgments render
cd, however important, ought not to be
encouraged.


While in particular eases they might
be quite harmless, IL others they might
be construed AS rewards for judgments.
and once established as precedent,
courts and judgments might be charg-
ed with framing their decisions with
an eye to the ovation rather than the
law. Though these considerations can
in no manner apply to the present case
yet similar principle may be supposed
to be involved, and I prefer to deny
myself the enjoyment of the occasion
SO generously profered, even at the
risk Of being charged with unwaranta-
bile squeamishness. But I beg to as
sure you, gentlemen, that am none

Gov. CHASE on THE TARIFF.-In a brief
letter, written last October, to Hon. r. r.
Stanly of Ohio, Gov Chase stated his views of
the tariff as follows =


"Surely there should be no disagreement
between Republicans as to the tariff What.
ever may be any mans theoretical views of
free trade, we are agreed that there is no pros
pect of the adoption of the policy ofunrestrain-
ed commercial intercourse by civilized nations
during the lifetime of any of us and no one,
l believe, proposes the adoption of that policy
by the United States without the concurrence
of other nations. Certainly do not. am a
practical man, and wish to take practical
views Of this tariff question, as every other
other avoiding ultraism in every direc
ton know that we have always
had a tariff l know that we have never
had horizontal tariff, unless the Compro-
mise act of 1888 may be called such. | know
that for long time to come, and perhaps as
long as our Unon shall endure, we shall have
tariff. Now, these things being SO, am
clearly of the apinion that tariff laws, like all
other laws, should be so framed as TO do as
much good and as little harm as possible and
l am therefore in favor of such discrimination
as will best secure and promote the interests Of
labor--of our own labor-and the general well
being OF our own people. No man, in my
Judgment, deserves the name of an American
statesman, who would not so shape American
legislation and administration as to protect
American industry, and guard impartially all
American rights and interests"

THE LAWRENCE DIsAsTER-Verd Of the
Coroner's JWy-The evidence taken by the
eoroner'S jury at Lawrence has been so fully
presented to the public that almost every read
or understands why the Pemberton Mill tum-
bled down. Therefore the verdict of the jury
has not been looked for with that interest
which would be felt in it if we did not already
understand the whole case. The disaster was
occasioned by the imperfection of the iron pill
laes and the weakness of the walls of the mill
The jury describe the pillars as "outrageously
defective" Their findings are summed up as
follows -


"Upon all of which several findings the Jury
determine and say that the direct cause of the
fall of this mill was the weakness and INSULT
cheney of the cast iron shCring. That the
thinness of the brick walls, and their manner
of construction, the length of span from one
support to another, beneath the floor timbers,
as well as distance from one floor timber to an
other, were additional causes, and aided in the
general demolition of the building.


That so far as actual defects in the cast iron
pillars existed, the responsibility rests upon
Albert Fuller, the former contracting agent
and foreman of the Eagle Iron Foundry, then
at West Boston.


That upon Charles H. Bigelow, being the
architect as well as superintendent of this
structure, rests all responsibility arising from
an insufficient test of said pillars and from any
and every defect, weakness, and insecurity ap.
parent in and about the general general CON
structon of said building. That the walls
were laid under his supervision that the
timbers and hoorings were in every respect
constructed and located as he originally de-
signed that the inner supports of cast iron,
previous to the erection, had his approval, and
were by him adopted as in all parts safe and
secure that such inspection as he required was
given to the iron pillars, and that any want of
skill in designing, any error of Judgment in
approving or adopting, any want of due care
and caution in properly testing the different
portions of the structure ON his part appear
ing, to that extent rendered him responsible for
the direful catastrophe involving the deaths of
these twenty two human beings"

EXTRACT FROM MIR. BRECKINRIDGE'S FRANKFORT SPEECH, LAST DECEM- BER.

 Mr. Breckinridge has been speaking of the Dred Scott decision, and continues as follows:

 We'll, that being the case, and it having been authoritatively determined by the very tribunal to which it was referred, that Con gress had no power to exclude slave property from the Territories, and udicialy determ-

 ined that the Territorial Legislatures-au- thorities created by Congress-had not the power to exclude or confscate slave property, confess that had not anticipated that the doctrine of friendly legislation would be set up. Hence, need not say to you that do not believe in the doctrine of unfriendly leg isiation; that do not believe in the authority of Territorial Legislatures to do by indirection

 what they cannot do directly. repose upon the decision of the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States, as to the point that neither Con gress nor the Territorial Legislature has the right to obstruct or confscate the property of

 any citizen, slaves included, pending the Ter

 ritorial condition. Applause. do not see any escape from that decision, if you admit that the question was a judicial

 one, if you admit the decision of the Supreme Court, and if you stand by the decision of the highest Count of the country -----,

 The Supreme Court seems to have recogniz

 ed it as duty of the Courts of the Union, in

 their proper sphere, to execute this Constitu- tional right, thus adjudicated by the Supreme | Court in the following language. In speak ing of the acquisition of territory, they pro- | nounce it political question for Congress to

 determine what Territories they may acquire,

 and how many. Now mark the words of the | Court.

 | [Here follows a quotation from the de- cision.l

 So that in regard to slave property, as in

 regard to any other property recognized and

 guaranteed by the Constitution, it is the duty, | according to the Supreme Court, of all the Courts of the country, to protect and guard it | by their decision whenever the question is

 brought before them. To which l only add,

 that the judicial decisions in our favor must

 be maintained--those judicial decisions must

 be sustained. Applause.

 If present remedies are adequate to sustain

 these decisions, would have nothing more

 done. l with many other public men in the

 country, believe they are adequate. If they

 are not-if they cannot be enforced for the

 want of proper legislation to enforce them,
