Tho country has seen the announce
ments, repeatedly mado through the
,prcss, of tho enormous profits made
'by tho cotton and woolen mills of New
England, reaching from eighty to one
'liundrcd and twenty per centum per
annum upon Ihocapital invested. This
extraordinary profit is the result of
our tariff laws, mado for the oxtrnst'Lk
pnrposeof protecting American indus
try, but for tho real purpose of giving
tho manufacturers a monopoly. These
laws contraveno, in their practical
operation, that sound maxim of polit
ical economy, which justly holds that
every man, in a well regulated Gov
ernment, should havo tho unobstruct
ed privilcgo of selling where he can
get tho best price, and of purchasing
whero ho can cet tho cheapest nrticlo.
Under tho crafty pretext of prof cctin
homo manufacturers, New JiiiglanU
has so managed as to shut out compe
tition from abroad, by levying a tax
upon all foreign articles mado by
theinsolves ; and thus sho has for ma
ny years mado tho agricultural classes
of tho South and West tributary to
her emolument. The people of those (
.fro Motions of the Union are thus
made to labor for tho profit of tho
Calico Aristocracy. Ey tho operation
of tlicso unjust tarill' laws, wo are

of even tho Calico Aristocracy: but 1

tho burning floor into tho cellar, liy
a desperate effort, almost sulVocnted
by heat nnd smoke, he again reached
tho bed which he had left, and grasp
ing tho sleeping babe, threw it through
tho window, which ho broke out ; but
upon turning to sec what had become
of his wife, he was met by tho flames,
nnd but barely escaped by the window
through which ho had thrown the
child. Upon reaching tho outsidi-, he
heard tho cries of his wifo from the
entry way, or'narrow hall. Sho had
been frantically endeavoring to gain
tho room occupied by tho children,
until sho herself had bocome surroun

Through almost superhuman exer

were terribly burned. They now used
exertions to save tho children, but all
to no purpose, nnd soon they were
enabled to see tho four standing to
gether in tho middle of tho room,
clinging to each other, with their eyes
raised to Heaven, in which position
they were consumed by tho names, in
full sight of thoir agonized parents,
who could lend them no aid.
What must havo been their feelings!
Nothing, of couriw, was saved, and
there they were, far from assistance,
left almost childless, in tho manner
described ; themselves badly burned,
and exposed to the bitter cold weath

a neighbor's house, where they were
cared for in a proper mariner. The

DEAD DUCKS.
Wo seldom havo occassion to copy
m-th-les from tho Richmond Times.hut
Binco Gen. Grant issued his' order in
rc(rtl,.d to "disloyarpancrstho Times.
i.as contained some vcrv fino lovnl
reading." Tho following is a specimen: !
Tho President, on Thursday lust, 1
usurped oho ol tho principles proroga-
tivcB cf i10 learned universities, to
tle threat delight of all respectable
pe0pl' tlle conferred tho degreo of
im uuni ui inu j'l tcna u xuuiui ui
but ho dubbed him &liJkad
and as Forney happens to bo
t man ever thus solemnly nro-
importunitieH:cluinled l)V ft iVcsidont of tho United
States to bo a defunct water fowl, the
epithet has mado him famous. Since
the publication of his celebrated letter
recommending tho deliberate intoxi
cation of a certain theatrical "Star"
for tho purpose of extracting secrets
from which ho hoped would blast tho
honor of a defenceless woman, ho has
well merited the title of "R. J." as
the abbreviation of"D.irty Dog;" but
having been formally, upon a solemn
anniversary occassion, invested with
tho honorary degreo of "Dead Duck,"
by that title ho will hereafter bo popu
larly and historically known. esay
"historically," for history does some
times hang such characters in chains,
as all will remember who havo read
of tho Vicar of Rray.
Tho President having handed For
ney down to posterity as a dead duck,
tlio question most dillicult of solution
is to determine to what species of the
great family of web-footud waterfowls
does Forney belong. We think the
mystery one of very easy solution.
We entertain too profound a respect
for "canvass backs," "mallard, led
niw.i. W, ,:11u- s.iihiek i,..,.!:-1
our admiration ol tho i resiuen t s
skill as a quick shot is intensified
when we recollect that it is next to
impossible to kill this fishiest and
most artful of ducks with an ordinary
gun.
Of all tho family of "divers," the
"didappor" is the most dexterous at
dodging and turning somersaults in
tho water. He is a voracious ami ex
ceedingly fishy little fellow.aud bears
the same relation to tho great family
of ducks as Forney does to tho editor
ial fraternity. Ho is perpetually div
ing, and when he goes under no one
can make tho slightest calculation ns
to tho exact spot or moment when he
will conio to tho surface. Having,
in our younger days, paddled
hours in pursuit of, and expeuded
pounds of ammunition upon this wary
and active diver; wo cannot too much
commend that splendid shot from tho
portico of tho Whito House which
"keeled" the political "didapner'over.
As this bird can never be killed when
his eye is upon tho sportsman, Foruey,
tho "didappor," undoubtedly met his
fate when ho was looking intently at
Thad. Stevens, and did not think that
"the man at the other end, of the
avenue" kept a gun and -shot fishy
duck upon national anniversaries.
Rut tho divings and somersaults of
Forney, tho faithless, arc now at an
end. The blind rage and insane
abuso ol tho President which defiles
the pages of tho Chronicle nndVt,
remind ns of the spasmodic fluttering
of tho "dying didapper" as he flaps
and quivers convulsively upon the
surface, with a heavy charge of Ex
ecutive duck shot in his brain.

human nature so unaltractive,and the
preacher himself so utterly powerless
to convert his hearers, and so shut np,
often to tho necessity of working with
out seeing immtdiate often without
seeing any friuta of his work, that in
his agony of interest hois apt to be
betrayed into the adoption of mere
human expedients to infuse moro at
tractiveness into his pulpit services.
This feeling in somo prcaehcrs.togeth
er with a painful lack of religion ex
perknee in others, turns many of ocr
sermons jnto moral essays nnd bald
harangues upon specific sins. This it
is which leads preachers into tho se
lection of themes drawn from litera
ture, science, art, nnd politics. This
it is which creates the straining after
out-of-tho-way texts and startling
analyses. Earth, and air, nnd sea, and
sky are laid under contribution for
material which will cater to the ta4,e
of fashionable but hcurilos audiences,
which will tieklo tho ears of people
who are spiritually dying for want of
realization that they have souls to be
lost or saved. My brother, scorn to
turn aside from tho pure gospel of
Jesus Christ,. Pray to have your own
soul alive with tho profoiindest reali

tho two groat central themes of sin
and salvation ; and then, by tho grace
