years, to resist the storm Of life; all!
thou wilt probably come to have more
to do with its incarnation. But let not
thv courage fail, there are life and love
in the world in the richest abundance
not often in the form of which they for
the most part are exhibited in roman
ces. The romancer distils life; he
makes day of ten years, and out OF ten
grains of corn draws one drop oil spirit;
# is in his trade. The reality proceeds
in another manner. Rarely come the
great events, the powerful scenes OF
passion. They belong, in every day
life, not to the rule, but to the excep-
tions. On that account, thou good crea-
ture! sit not and wait, or thou wilt suiier
tedium. Seek not the affiuence OF lille
without thee; create it in thy own Do-
som. Love heaven, nature, wisdom,
all that is good around thee, and thy
life will become rich, the sails of its air.
ship will fiji with the fresh wind, and
so gradually soar up to the native re-
gions of ght and love.----Miss Bremen.

WAR AMONG THE MORMONS.
Latest from Nauroo-"THE TINE is
-CoME"-The Prophet in Danger.-An
extra from the office of the Warsaw
Signal, came to us yesterday morning,
containing some further statements a.
bout the present troubles of Nauvoo.
This is the way the Signal talks aboutlt.
Heading his extra with,
"THE TIME is COME"
he goes on, after stating the matter, as
follows:
We have only to state, that this is
sufficient! War and extermnatIon IS
inevitable! Citizens ARISE, ONE and ALL!
Can you stand by, and suffer INTERNAL
DEVILS! to rob men of their property u
rights, without avenging them. We
have no time for comment-every man
will make his own. Lett bemade 0lM
poud r and BALL!!!
LATER-5 o'clock, P. NJ. We have
lust learned from Carthage; that wrlts
have been procured, and officers des-
patched to Nauvoo, to arrest the per-
petrators of the outrage.
1t is also run,ored, that Joe is causing
the arrest of every man in Nauvoo,
who is opposed to him, and does not
Justify his proceedings.
By the stage driver we learn, that the
press, &C., were destroyed a little after
sundown, last evening.
We await the final result with ankle
ty.-Much excitement exists; but the
course determined on, is to throw Joe
into opposition to the laws.
1t seems that in destroying the Ex,
posltor office, Joe's orders were, if
resistance were made, for the officers
to demolish the building and ?. operty
of all who were concerned in publish
ing said paper, and also take all into
custody who might refuse to obey tht
authorities of the city.
Accordingly, company consisting
of some 200 men, armed and equipped
with muskets, swords, pistols, bowie
knives, sledge hammers, &c. ASSISTED
bv crowd Of several hundred minlon
who volunteered their services on thu
occasion, marched to the building, ant
breaking open the doors with sledge
hammer, commenced the work of des
truction and desperation.
They tumbed the press and material
into the street, and set fire to them, de
molished the machinery with sledge

WHIPPING AT SCHOOL.

1t was one of the queer remarks OF
Doctor Johnson, in regard to the sys-
tenn of education which does away with
corporal punishment, that "what boys
gain at one end" they lose at the other.
And in regard to the English school sys-
tenn of education, in which boys are
kept for years together, learning what
is impossible for them or their teachers
to understand the use Of, his remark is
probably true. 1t is also true that a boy
is generally eager to learn whatever it
is most properand useful that he should.
A boy, as we have had more than one
occasion to see, may be very dull in his
Latin or Mathematics, while in Natural
Philosophy, Geography and History
he may make remarkable progress.
We often think of what Daniel Webster
once said to law student just commen,
cling his legal studies, when he asked
how he should begin. "There is my
Library" said he. "read just what you
find most interestin;y.' The system of
education pursued BY William Cobbett
was a singular one. He had a large
family of boys and girls. They were
never sent to school, and never made to
read or study at home. Books and pa
pers were lying about and they saw
their father reading and writing. If
they asked any questions they were
answered--if they wished to learn they,
were taught. Their own curiosity and
emulation prompted them in all their
requirements. Study became their
play. The result was, that every one
of the sons has written able and stand
ard works, Grammars Of different lam
guages, and each of the daughters has
written popular books upon S. some
branch of domestic economy. There
is but one thing that deserves whipping
dis obedience to reasonable commands
A child must obey, but there are punish
ments better than castigation, if they
are needed, and there are stimulants III
rewards, emulation, the desire ofappro
baton, the germs of the master passions
of the human soul. In ninety-nine ca
ses in a hundred, there is no use ir
striking blown the hundredth il
may be fatal to neglect it.--Ne'0 Yorl
Sun.

GOOD GOVERNMENT.

The best tanner of colts that was ever known in
Massachusetts, never allowed whip or spir 10
be used; and the horses he trained needed no whip.
Their spirits were unbroken by severity, and they
obeyed the slightest impulse of the voice or rein,
with the most animated prompttude; but rendered
obedient to affection, their vivacity was always re-
strained by graceful docility. He said it was
with horses as it was with children, if accustomed
to beating they would not obey without it. But
managed with untring gentleness, united with
Consistent and equitable frmness, the victory once
gained over them, is gained for ever
In the face of all these facts, the world goes on
manufacturing whips, spirs, gallows and chains
while each one carries within his own soul div
Inc substance for these devils inventions with
which he might work miracles, inward and out
ward, if he would.-S Louis Transcript.

CONTRASTS IN LIFE.

A nhvsician met me. "Would you
like to see a curious picture OF lte?'
said he.
"Of course; how far OFF,
"Within sound of that music"
We turned out of Broadway, and in
few moments were at the foot OF a
rude and dirty staircase, leading up on
the side of a wretched building to a
kind of temporary loft. The doctor
opened a door, and we entered dingy
room, just long enough for man to lay
his length in. An old cobler's bench
without tools, few scraps OF old leafh-
err. and man lying on some dirty straw
in the corner, with ragged quilt over
him, were all the contents OF the room.
Yes, one thing more--a cent lay care
fully on the window sill.
@Have you taken the medicine" ask
ed the doctor.
"No, sir!"
"Why not9'
"lt's of no use, sir"
"How of no use"
"Why, | don't want it. I'm sick OF
life doctor. didn't send for you.'
Here the sick man turned his back
to us with groan Of pain at the effort,
and drew the dirty coverlet over his
head. The doctor leaned over HIM,
and got hold of his pulse.
"Don't trouble me, DOCTOR" said he;
| hope shall pop off before night: t:
There's no room for me in the world"
The doctor said something kind to
him, and he went on speaking brokenly
and with great difficulty, to something
like the following effect:
II couldn't go to the almshouse, Tor
I was told it was full. can get no
work, if was ever so well. People
don't have their shoes mended now l

| was glad when l got sick"
He persisted in refusing the medicine
and the kind physician, who had been
called in by one of the neighbors, gave
some directions to poor char-woman
who lodged in the cellar below, and we
left him. In three minutes more we
were in gay Broadway, and the music
was still playing most merrily in the
balcony of the museum, and the foun
tain was still leaping joyously in the
Park, surrounded by happy groups
