=, rbou they are most apparent. The instru-

in whom they are most apparent. The instru-
mentality must not be one of mere prescription :;
| it must not be negative, only 1t has great
work to do, as we'll as much to undo: 1t must
buld before It tears down-or rather IT must so
operate ON the secret springs OF social and polit-
cal activity that its work shall be a grouth, IN
which the old and rotten shall fall away and dis
appear before that which, in vigor and strength
is slowly but powerfully pushing itself to he and
the liqht Of dav. Does the Pass need reform !
They :yho have the will and the power to do 1t
must NOT stand afar off and denouncc 1t Tor It's
co~-rr.ion and weakness Let them enter the
field Of its labors Let them assume, ior them
selves, it's duties and high responsibilities Let
them bring to it the purity, the strength, the cu-
trre which it needs. If they see that its habitu-
al aims are low, let them enter upon its duties
and see that theirs are high. II it lacks bold
ness-let their courage come to its aid. So Of
every field OF public exertion. Are politicians
corrupt Let those who denounce them enter
the political field and bring with them the firm IN
tegrty so greatly needed there. public sentiment
vtiated and poisoned Let those who see and
feel it assume the task Of public teachers and
work with all their power to restore 1t to health
and the tone of virtue. Are radical and unsafe
doctrines becoming prevalent and popular Ed
ucate the public mind to and feel their talsty
nst into the hearts of men the principles Of
truih-in whatever way you arc best fitted to 90
it, by writing, speaking, acting or hving,-but
whatever you do or say be sure that 1t IS r7ght'
and good will surely come of it.
We have far more faith in this individual agen-
CIV than in any action of party machinery. AS
an auxiliary, this may be useful; but 1t can new
or become of itself an effective agent AS the
wants of society become more clearly manifest,
we hope to see them more fully supplied Wear
glad to see literary men,-we mean men OF htera-
nv culture not pretenslon,-enterlng more and
more upon the discussion Of important questions,
in politics and morals, as they arise. The Press,
the Political arena, all departments Of public
teaching and public activity must be reinforced
from the ranks of cultivated men. Scholars and
thinkers, who see the wants of society and the
state. must not content themselves with depor-
ing their existence, but must labor to supply them.
No powerful engne-no great weapon of public
nAucnco-should be allowed to fall into unwor

redeemed that public virtue is TO be fed and
strengthened and the principles Of duty and truth
to obtain triumph over transient and unenlight-
ened passion.
