Journal. RG LEWISIiURG; UNION CO., PA., FRIDAY, BUSINESS PROSPECTS. Some of our city coten.por.ries note a stir ia business, and in such a cheerful tone a. to induce a prevalent confidence that tbedark days are over, and that a vista of indefinite prosperity is opening befure us. The items upon which the be lief seems to be based arc, the heavy in creases of our imports since January 1st over the corresponding period of last year, the revival of manufactures, the activity evinced in auction and other marts of fabrics, and the heavy rush of strangers to the cities in uet of good or situations. The New York Tribune iudicutes some reasons for believing this prosperity pre carious if not delusive.

Is their forbearance a secure basis for our National prosperity ? "III. Though there is a present active demand for the products of Furnace,For ge., Factories, Mills, &c, and though those already in being are generally at work, yet we scarcely hear of a new one being constructed, a new spindle or loom about to be put in motion.

The errors and vices which pro- duced and precipitated the late Revulsion are still in full vigor. Our Tariff is so adjusted as to invite Foreign Fabrics and repel their producers, whom we should import instead. Our able and ambitious youth are attracted to Trade, to the Pro fessions, to Filibustering of some sort rarely to any form of Productive Industry. Advertise to-day for a man to manage a farm, and three fourths of the responses will come from men of European birth. Advertise for a boy in a lawyer's office, a clerk in a store, a partner in a venture to Pike's Peak, and two third of the respon ses will come from native Americans. We are still, as a people, intent on getting suddenly rich by some kind of speculation, tenc by industry. Credit is again expan ding its sails; we know that goods are extensively sold in our city this Spring, to Southern retailers, on a year's credit at what rates of profit, tbe reader will judge for himself. Enlarged discounts and dis tant pay days are the general aspiration. The lame ducks of 1857 are intent upon National Bankrupt Law as tbe pool of Siloam wherein their distemper, are to be washed away. Our aspiring youth fancy it easier to win a coffee or a sugar planta tion under the bead of some Lopez, Wal ker, or Henningsen, than to bew a farm oat of the wilderness or break one out of the prairies. In spite of immense advan ces in Agricultural machinery, we gtow less grain per Lead, loss per acre, than our ' father, did fifty years .go.

On the heel of a great Revulsion, there are this day four time, as many living or seeking to live by traie aj ti,CI.e snould be, whether fir their own g0j or fjr tuc good of the country." These are among many probable rea- sons why business men generally, should carry easy sail, until the storm has fully blown over. The failure of the last ses- ion ol Longress to revise me larm, .u itself renders the present year peculiar, and if we wish to avoid a recurrence of the panic of 1857-5!, the greatest caution and prudence in business must be exercised. A change in governmental policy would have re-established confidence. That fail- ing, the best plan is to keep out of debt, elu nil I nf bankruntcv.

It is the ardent wish, we believe of a great portion of the JVmerican peoplc.that the African race among us might be colo- nized in some country of their own, where they would h-vc motive for improvement, and where they would not be perpetually degraded by tbe superiority of whites. This is desirable on account of both races, and would be to tbe advantage of both. With this belief, it gives ns pleasure to publish anything showing the advance ment of Liberia. Rev. John Seys, Gov ernment Agont for recaptured Africans,in a letter from Liberia states the follow ing : "Tbe National fair was beicg held on our arrival. Instead of a crystal jxtlacf, tbey bad one much more appropriate, a bamboo floor and sides, and the roof cov ered neatly with the palm thatch. I ob tained a Bcasou ticket, aud mingled in the throng, to see aud examine the evidences of Libcrian improvement. I was sur prised beyond all anticipation, aud could scarcely realize where 1 was. I can uot enumerate tbe articles on exhibition, but I was truly gratified with every department. Tbe specimens of sugar cane oun not be excelled in tho West indies, save in tbe Island of Trinidad. Socks made of silk of tbe great cotton silk tree of the tropics is decidedly a triumph ot Siberian ingenu ity. Never did I believe that tbe short fibre of the article could possibly be spun or wove ; but the daughter, of Liberia have done it. Gunpowder made here, by a native Liberian, arrested my atteution. Beautiful furniture, made of tbe superior wood of the forests, claimed the admira tion of all. But 1 can only mention, without commenting upon, the tools man ufactured berc, the superior iron ore, the cotton, coffee, cocoa, ginger, corn meal, arrow root, yams, eddoes and many more, all giving indisputable evidence of tbe vast fertility of the soil, of the onward rapid march in the improvement of the people of Liberia, and of the consoling fact that those who labor for their ad vancement in the art. and scieuce9,or any good thing, do not labor in vain." A Lady Robbed. Mrs. Matthew Clark, a poor widow lady from Selinsgrove, was robbed of ber pocket book, containing $3, (it being all the money she had in the world,) while passing along the platform of the Pennsylvania Railroad depot at noon-day. The old lady was for sometime in creat distress of mind. The facts bav ins become known to Mr Geo.

While she was thus speaking, the build- ing was suddenly illuminated, and fear was printed on every countenance. A tremendous clap of thunder made the house tremble on its foundations.

The building was in flames, and they saw through the root me soeavea uuruiug wuitu uu jut been housed. The greatest consternation reigned t ., 1 : L-.l :... among all the men, who but a moment before were so well pleased. Every one was dejected and incapable of acting. The aged grandmother alone preserved all her presence of mind ; she prayed aud in cessantly repeated, "What shall it profit a man if be gain the whole world aud lose bis own soul ? O ! Heavenly Father, let Thy will and not ours be done !" The barn wa entirely consumed ; noth ing was laved. The farmer bad said, "I have pat my harvest under my roof." "But above thy roof, is the Lord's roof," bad said his aged grandmother. This teaches tbe lesson that all is in the hands of God, whether ia the field or ia tbe barn, and what we endeavor to pre serve from the rain can be reached in any place by Him who commands both the rain and thunder.
