soldiers. Their superabundant spirits and some
what truant energies being brought under control by
military discipline, they would become the most
steady and reliable of troops, though long-continued
training, and a regular course of military education,
would probably be required for the purpose. Such
men would be absolutely ruined by the proposed
militiatrainkw. What would be their course ? At
their first en t—with to them the inexhaustible
wealth of five pounds bounty money in their pockets—
their first three weeks' training would be a period of
eentinued debauchery—their irregular tendencies
would be ned by the communion with others

A constant place and a good meter will in most cues
turn the balance of the labourer's fate on the favour-
able side, and render him a Reputable man through
life ; so on the other hand, irregular employment or
frequent interests of idleness, between the ages of
eighteen and twenty-five, will as certainly render
the country lad an inefficient and inferior workman,
—if no worse. Now, the militia bounty will be the
ruin of not a few of the young agricultural labourers
we have referred to ; for, whatever might have hap-
pawed otherwise, the young man who serves in the
militia can only hope to obtain the lowest and most
precarious places in the service of a farmer. Bound
to devote three weeks or • month in each year to
military training, to the mysteries of the drill and
the license of a pot-house billet, he becomes ineligible
to the regular places of the farm. What farmer will
hire or retain a militiaman es overlooker, plough-
man, herdsman, or shepherd ? Who will make a
yearly engagement with a farm servant who must
have his master at perhaps the most busy season to
dawdle about the county town in a red coat, and to
bring back, if he return at all, habits of irregularity,
which will do infinite mischief to his fellow-work-
men?

Those who have had to deal with the agricultural
labourers know that these are no imaginary evils;
that, from absence of education and mental training,
they are so completely wanting in self-control, Jo
entirely creatures of impulse, that their conduct for
food or evil in the majority of eases depends upon
the less or greater temptation to idleness or irregu-
larity to which they may be open in youth and
early manhood. The Voluntary Enlistment Militia
Act may, therefore, be justly called a plan to divert
the young men of the rural districts from habits of
induut str

to, comes a new sours, d mischief to the rural dames.

of 18 and 35, and amongst theme between 26 and 36

whose experience goes back to the days of lamer

the prase events of Desember, and the ex-
libation of all those ne apapse erodes which are as
bosoms for the gar o[ public opinion,
reader the brilliant, petated style of the oeU-
heated editor of the Preen a veritable acquisition.
As the leader of an orchestra who advances with a
rapid step to take his antral post after the vague
uncertain tones of instrmeats tuning, and gives the
smart signal with uplifted scroll for opening the full
harmonious overture, se this talented publicist leads
off with his mid bride seitessAdence in the Prase,
striving to give an impales aad a tone to public opi-
nion, and to animate with his spirit-stirring example
his fallen and faint-heisted brother journalists to
'tram with a surer and mere vigorous bead the many-
ehorded organs of political expression. In this
striking article Qirardin seeks mainly to prove
that the timorous and undecided attitude of the
press, that indifference in political matters,
abstention, reserve, neutrality, can only play into the
hands of the Restoration. The practical gist of his
reasoning goes to exhort the republicans to accept
the de facto government as the only way of keeping
universal suffrage, upon which base liberty, which
he admits has no present existence, may be re-
stored.

The ,Aaaemblde Nationale interprets the passage
of the President's speech relating to the empire, as a
warning that the proclamation of that form of go-
vernment is at hand. It says:
. _ . _

Tbe empire is formally foreseen; it 0 even declared
asesseney under certain eventualities. And, to express our
thaeolde fully, we will add that it appears to us so insepa-
rable trees the inevitable tendencies of the situation, that
it would have bees better to postai= it immediately, than
to held it up seer at head ea a feet of pueishment for the
