This ie no sentimental plea for the miners but a question in the economy ot the State, and-it_was on thie ground that the miners’ claim was urgued, and argued to a successful issue when the question arose at the last session of the Legislature.

' Generally,. a good deal of latitude is expected when the dead are spoken of. If o main has lived an honorable though obscure life, bis death isa logs, and it is not’ wrong tosay of him that he will be missed and mourned., Bat of this man such a statement isa direct falsehood, He was one who for ten years has not known one generous or noble emotion, He was simply & quarrelsome, brutalized, drunken loafer, whom men would have sbupned as a leper, except that be was rich, He had no respect for—any‘thing sacred on eurth or in heaven; through bis long life men cannot look back to-ene act of bis to prove! that the world was better because he lived; and, really, bia death, * instead of being mourned, is bailed as a relief by all who knew him, with, perhaps, the single exception of his wife. But he waszich in land and houses and money, and so we ure told that he will be greatly missed and mourned. This is one of the . base results which follow the possession of wealth. It is powerful enough to buy respect; it makes men willing to cover up another's shame or to herald it.as a virtue. And it is all wrors, because a shrewd child who knew the character of a man referred te in dife, to read the nutice given him when dead, migdt naturally cenclude fuat no niatter what a man did, if hen»t last saved money, his bilul Lnterprre, SS ee . of the heart. © ey A Sra, Pastor, . death ‘anes lecturer, arrived in the city you. = B oben te RE . bad been in his . years ef uge, ‘in consequence ofthe perspiration . times Was fair, but three weeks : An Eastern Miracle.

I, 5, Ravine, The Power of of Money. ~ Not deny days since we read of the death of a certain man, and in more than one paper suw him: refér. red tofas ‘one who would be greatly missed and mourned." ' Generally,. a good deal of latitude is expected when the dead are spoken of. If o main has lived an honorable though obscure life, bis death isa logs, and it is not’ wrong tosay of him that he will be missed and mourned., Bat of this man such a statement isa direct falsehood, He was one who for ten years has not known one generous or noble emotion, He was simply & quarrelsome, brutalized, drunken loafer, whom men would have sbupned as a leper, except that be was rich, He had no respect for—any‘thing sacred on eurth or in heaven; through bis long life men cannot look back to-ene act of bis to prove! that the world was better because he lived; and, really, bia death, * instead of being mourned, is bailed as a relief by all who knew him, with, perhaps, the single exception of his wife. But he waszich in land and houses and money, and so we ure told that he will be greatly missed and mourned. This is one of the . base results which follow the possession of wealth. It is powerful enough to buy respect; it makes men willing to cover up another's shame or to herald it.as a virtue.. And it is all wrors, because a shrewd child who knew the character of a man referred te in dife, to read the nutice given him when dead, migdt naturally cenclude fuat no niatter what a man did, if hen»t last saved money, his bilul Lnterprre, SS ee . of the heart. © ey A Sra, Pastor, . death ‘anes lecturer, arrived in the city you. = B oben te RE . bad been in his . years ef uge, ‘in consequence ofthe perspiration . times Was fair, but three weeks : An Eastern Miracle.
