But there are some duties quite the reverse.' His life has its sun shine as well its its shadow. To did in graving the history of nobis deeds upon the inemdry of man -is a pleasant duty. To record' the deeds of bid Ynen, is the reverse; and wo hope the day is not far dis. Cant when the conductors of public journals will think less'of perpetuating the deeds Of bad men by giving their disgusting minulite, and more of her. siding the noble deeds of good men.- We ate certain that society la injured,walhcr than 'benefited, (lorn being conlVotitod everywhere mlho walks of litcra iure with the biographies and death-bed confessions el desperate characters. It may hi one way to ren der-crime odious to good men, but not the best way; and that it deters the vicious from wrong-doing we sec no good reason to believe.- Tor, if men can be brought tolovo virtue, they will detest vice. But no man ever was, or will be made to hate vice, by liav. ing learned to fear breaking the law in consideration of tho attached penalty. Perhaps the pulpit and the press deal toa much in Anathema and aot enough in persuasion. Yet, it must be sdmiUedthat some men can be-rcstrained only by fear of punishment. At first glance this scents like a pretty bad world. The mark of Cain seems deeply - set in its forehead, end it appears to have grown gray and decrepit with sin. There are a great many bad men and women in it, and they are made to asanme an undeserved prominence, because of a false idea that prevails, (hat a hue-and-cry is the beat means of bringing men to lead a virtuous life. It seems that good men sometimes overreach themselves as well as bad opes, and. because of this, the bad have come to occupy so prominent a place in public notice.

If God ha* given us a chequered World'll is no good cause of grumbling. Wc shonld rather be thankful that it is no worse than so find it, and cast about us.for the means of making it belter.

There is something so heart refreshing in the-charily of the following that we copy it; “And here, too, through the brilliant'street, and the broad light of day, walks Purity, enshrined in the loveliest form of Womanhood. And along.that same street by night, attended by fitting shadows, strolls womanhood discrowned, clothed with painted shame, yet, even in the springs of that gailty heart not utterly quenched. We render just homage to tire one, we pour scorn upon the other; hut could we 1 race ‘back the lines ot circumstance, and inquire why thq one stands guarded with such sweet respect and why (he other has fallen, we might raise prob lems with which we cannot tax Providence, which we may not lay altogether to the charge of the con demned, but for which we might challenge an an swer from society.” Let every friend of Humanity gel this book.

This pernicious execution of our school law has been brought about, first, by the Directors of contiguous townships refu sing to co-operate, as the law provides, to establish a central school on or : near the di vissjon line, that should accommodate all all families within one and a half miles of it; and secondly by -the Direoiora beitig 100 rea dy to yield to .the-desires of sdme citizens to have a school house in -their .immediate neighborhood.

For a year past, however, builders have hot been so much occupied as during the year or two. preceding, as capi talis's have not choseo.to invest, (heir money in this manner, material and labor havng been so .expensive. There is always, how. e*er, some demand for carpenters and ma sons. The retail dry-goods trade is very dull, and has fallen off more than 25 per cent.— Imported goods have declined in pride, on ac. count of the large slock in the country, much of which has gone nqder the-auctioneer's; hmvinrr. Domestic goods maintained their price. The various kinds of retail and tran sit business —sucli as millinery, dress-making, daguerreou ping. 'fit hey goods, books, furni ture, and innumerable others, which depend on the (general wants of the community—are in a depressed condition, and feel the results of the economy which all aVe id, practice. 1 ‘ On the whole, though our business sympa lhizes. wiih.lbestate of the markelsgeneraHv, our branches of manufacture are so varied, ■and of such a necsssry chararte.r, that our people 1 are not depressed to anything like the extent experienced in former revulsions. nnd perhaps not so mugb ss the accounts front other manufacturing districts indicate.
