some duties quite the reverse.' His life has its sun

of tho attached penalty. Perhaps the pulpit and the

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.

joined, that 16 read is to understand, snd what is
better, to fttl. The themes selected are such as to
give'scope to the eminent genius of the man. 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

each other, is another, very,great evil. In

ships the school houses are four miles a putt,
or .more. In other parts they are leas than
half a mile of each Other, or three school
houses cun be reached in traveling less than
two miles. 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. One District of this county
has seventeen schools; Several have as ma

Financially' the Grand Lodge is in a flour-
'being alt the. end of
this year about three, hundred and fifty doll
ars in the Treasufy and no outstanding
liabilities. -.Much of its prosperity is due to
the efficient Secretary who, rye are happy to
say is reelected. Tlje Gratfd Lodge also in
view of lhe j increased labor, and the effi
cient manner in which she had performed
her duties presented her, by a unanimous
vote, the sum of one hundred- dollars, in ad
ditiop to the salary Voted her at the com
mencement of the year. The Order has ex
tended into 24 counties in this State, odd if it
increases as it apparently promises, it will, at
the end of another year, have extended .into
every corner of the Stole. Two years ago the
Order was not known, there are now Grand
Lodges in New York, Pennsylvania, lowa,
Ohio and Canada, and Charters issued for
Grand Lodges in Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois,
Indiana and Michigan, each of, those Slates
having within; their -borders a large number
of Lodges. No Order of the kind has ever
increased with such, unparalleled rapidity,
and there can he no doubt but it is destined
m Bv,-r.i n favorable and wide-spread influence
in favor of temperance and sound morality.

The soap and candle business, an.d several
others, are ois6.ps good as usual, some
peculiarity of,,their.character.', Thus,, in the
former, the winter is always the tnoreHaclive
season, on account of > tfm "impossibility of
manufacturing id hoi’weather.. Thesis but
little building going. fnrwatd, except .the com.
pletinn of some house commenced,during the
past , season. 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. There
is nn actual suffering apparent among the
industrial pnpulnlinn as yet, and their econo
my and frugality during theaenson of profi
table labor, it i a hoped, will carry them trt
umphantly through the present pttsue in me
chanical progress, although instances of indi
vidual suffering among those wh» have expe
rienced sickness and reverses, ma\ and doubt
less will ncc U r.

It shoo'd be remembered that -the present
're n'h is one when heavy-branches of bust
np-s (irp generally diminished in (heir opera
lions, and except for thp holiday trade, retail
business is ( iilap light. Consequently the as
pect of nffiira is somewhat more gloomy
than it'would appear.at a I period ordinarily
more favorable. The genernlTeeling in 'he
is one nf hope. Crops, during
the Inst season, were poor, and ft is barely
possible that ibev should again lieeonv 1 so.—
There is a great deni of money dispersed
flnonuh the country, though there is a defi.
cieney in the pren' trading marts. Speeie
exports are hemming limited, and a large
rjnnnl'ty of prodie-p is yet to pome forward.
