Genital election by ayowiny one set Of
principles for one section Of the country,
and entirely different sets for other Sec.
5tions. Mr.. Clay and his friends seem de-
elevate him to the Presidential chair ia
1914. At the South. great efforts are
made at the present time to produce the
Impression that Mr.. Clay is opposed to
high tariff, while at the North directly
the opposite course is pursued. The Sa-
vannah Georgian, rahid Clay paper,
uses the following language:

Music of the Hammer.

But, after all, were we to seek out one only
sound in the whole word as a representative OF
expression, Of life, business, health, vigor, and
Improvement, we should certainly name the
20 sound of the hammer" What is there on
earth more cheering? 1t is the very note of pre-
p~aration for business, and gives a thrill peculiar
to itself to all which lie inert around it.
What brings the morning SO fresh and vivid to
the mind of the sluggish as the hammer which
sounds from the neighboring roofs? 1t is the
veriest reproach that an indolent man can have
and speaks straight to the heart in those quiet,
manly, sudden tones, which only the ~sincerest
friendship employs. And, then, how much is
in that sound beside! What a range can fancy
take when such a sound comes forth! There is
the workman on the roof of a new building, or
in the shop of the mechanic, or the store of the
merchant. 1t is the hammer of the carpenter,
the blacksmith, the tinman, the cordwainer, the
iewelcr, or the worker in marble ; all industri-
Gus, all busy, all well to do. The sound of
the hammer is a note that forewarns the world
of the whereabouts of the hard working man.
About it there is no concealment. The man he owes
hears it, and waits contented: who owes him lis
tens and straightway goes to his daily labor. There
is a spirit in the sound of q hammer which eff
lects more or less nearly all the world. Some
people go through life without noting one sound
from another, the multitude of noises around
them but we will answer for the sound of the
hammer, that no one ever heard that without
being conscious of an expression either positive
ly pleasant or certainly painful. Mechanics
should stick to their hammers, for they are SEN
tinels of industry and bestowers of prsise.-

Influence of Literature and war.

More heroes have been crowned with laurel
than authors; but have they won more victories;
DO they achieve as much? Your great captain
may overrun a continent, and the nameless adj
v~enturer Mohammed or Bonaparte, may become
despotic king over kings. Your world-renown-
ed man-killer may acquire sovereignty, gold,
and a CORY glory may be his. He reigns at best,
over so many millions of human bodies ~susccpti-
bic of pain and fear. But the author too governs,
though less externally; he rules mems minds
All potent in his proper sphere; he may be equal
ly a conqueror therein. To conquer, to reign,
are TO achieve and hold dominion. Hence, right
ly speaking, he conquers whom he convinces.-
Ii | ~overturn one common error, put it in its
place and propagate as an active principle one
new truth, | achieve a greater victory over man
kind, than he who wades through seas of slaugh-
ter TO a throne; inasmuch as mine is bloodless and
perpetual; it is not of an age, but for all time
Alexander and Napoleon won and lost empires,
and in one score of years thereafter, was left no
sign of them but some ruins and a name; while
Aristotle and Bacon, Christ and Luther, have
conquered and still conquer, not in this country
or in that; but Christendom. The founder of a
system is greater than the founder of a kingdom,
as the perdurablc pyramid is more stable than
the perishable pillar. A kingdom established is
less than atruth, by as much as the temporal is
less than the eternal. For this kingdom of the
Saxon's to-day, is the Norman's to-morrow-is
now Harold's now Williams. Blu. the authors
conquests are enduring. Heaven and earth shall
pass away; but not one word shall pass away
The power of the sword perishes with the arm
that yields ii: but a good book lives and works
forever. Well said the poet who felt its truth,
''thc pen is mightcr than the sword"
So it is, and so it has been always. But if
there is truth in prophecy, or insight in man, a
brighter and milder day is yet to dawn upon us.
Letters shall some time civilize all men, whom
wars shall cease TO consume. The schoolmaster
shall 90 abroad among the nations, bearing in his
hand the Book of Peace, fulfilling the high desri-
ny which is fortold of the human race; a destiny
as certain as that Christ shall ultimately reign,
and put all enemies under his feet; the swords
shall be turned into ploughsharcs, and the spears
into reaping hooks, ere time shall close his record,
and the heavens pass away as 4 scroll.-Cariyle

have become master of its contents. And BY SO
doing, You will form a well compacted body Of

terminating Seeds Under Colofcd Glass.

The following remarks by Mr.. Hunt, the. Sec
rotary of the Royal Polytechnic Society, in Eng.
land, relate to a most curious discovery ; and
one which may prove very useful to the ~cultiva-
tors Of rare exotics. We hope some of our rea-
ders will be stimulatedto repeat the experiments,
and to send us the results.
I" 1t is scarcely necessary to explain that eve
ry beam of light proceeding from its solar source
is bundled of different colored rays to the absorp-
ton or reflection o. which wa owe all that infp-
lite diversity of color which is one of the great
est charms of creation. These rays have been
known to possess different functions.
1.-THE light which permeates colored glass
partakes, to some considerable extent, of the
character of the ray which corresponds with the
glass in color; thus blue grass admits the blue
or clinical rays, to the exclusion, or nearly SO,
Of all the others; yellow glass admits only the
permeatiOn of the luminous rays, while red glass
cuts off all but the heating rays, which pass it
freely. This affords US a very easy method of
growing plants under the influence Of any par
ticular light which may be desired.
"The fact to which l would particularly call
attention is, that the yellow and red rays are de-
~structive to termination, whereas, under the in
~fluence Of violet, indigo, or blue light, the pro-
cess is quickened in a most extraordinary man

band can get; let him find her, even in her
room alone. surrounded by more comfort
more refnement-the fire 'brighter--the

The Boot Black and the COLLEGE
President.
TWO SCENES FROM REAL LIFE.

Some scores of wears since, the Presiden,
Of a well known College in Kentucky, was
one morning, willie sitting in his study, as.
tonished by the entrance of 4 singular visl.
tor.
The visitor was a boy Of some seventeen
years, rough and uncoulh in his appearance;
dressed in coarse h%omespun, with thick
clumsy shoes on his feet, an old tatiered fiat
hat on MS head, summarizing a mass Of I'M
combed hair, which relieved swarihy and
sun-burnt features, marked by eyes quick
and sparkling, but vacant and impressive
tiom the want of education. The whole ap-
pearance Of the youth was tina, of an I'm
taught-uncu!tivated pIow boy.
The President, an affIble and venerable
man, inquired into the business Of the per-
son VII" stood before him.
'.lf you please, SIR said the plowboy, with
all the h~esitancv Of and uneducated rustic.
'lf you please, sir, l'Ilke TO GIT some larnin.
| heard you had a college in these parts, and
| thought if | would work a spell! for you,
you would help me now and then in getting

President, 81 scarcely can see any way in
which you might he useful 10 us. The re
quest is someii ing singular"

eyes Frightening in his earnestness. 81

want"
He paused at a loss of words to express
his ideas. But there was a language in the
expressive lip and the glancing eye: there
WAS a language in his manner in the tone in
which the words were spoken. that appealed
al once to the Professors feelings.
He determined to try the sincerity Of the
youth.
i am afraid, my friend, that ! can do moth.
ing for YOU. ! would like 10 assist you, bu,
| can see NJ way IN which you may be use
iul to us at present."
The President resumed his book. In a
moment he glanced his eye at the Plowboy.
who. silent and mute, stood holding the ham
die of the door. He fingered his rough hat
confusedlv with one hand-his eyes were
turned downcast, and his upper lip quivered
and tremblcd as though he were endeavor-
ing to repress strong and sudden feelings of
disappointment. The effort was bu,
half successful. A tear emerged from the
downcast eyeIid, rolled over the SUM- burnt
and with a quick nervous action, the
plowb boy raised his toil-hardened hand, and
b. ushed away the sign Of regret.
He made a well mean, hut awkward mark

INDUSTRY OF THE PRESENT AGE.-f shall
mention but one more movement Of the ago
as indicating the tendency to universalityy
and this is its industry. How numberless
are the forms which this takes! Into how
many channels is human labor pouring itself!
How widely spread is the passion for acquf
sition, not for simple means Of subsistence.
but fol wealth! What vast enterprise agitate'
the community! What a rush into all the:
departments Of trade! How next to univef-'
sal the insanity Of speculation. What new
arts spring up! Industry pierces the foress-e
and ~siartles with her Ak the everlating ~
lence! Commerce is the commanding int
rest; and this has no limits but the habitabfs'
world. 1t no longer creeps along the shore
or fingers in accustomed tracks, but pens-
trates into every inlet; plunges into the heart
of uncirilizcd lands, sends it's steam ships Up
UNEMPLOYED rivers, girdles the earth with
railroads, and thus breaks down the estrange>
ments Of nations. Commerce is a noble cal
ing. II meditates between distant nations,
and makes mems wants, not as formerly,
stimulants to war, but bonds Of peace. Uni
versal intellectual activity is due, in NO small
to commerce, which spreads tho
thoughts, inventions, and writings Of great
men over the earth. and gathers scientific
and literary men everywhere into an intel
lectual republic. So it carries abroad the.
missionary, the Bible, the cross, and is Civ.
ing universally to true reiigion.-DR. CHAx>

they wiH tell the truth when they please, and they
