but IN idle and unmeanng ceremonies
Inc effect OF 1t Is, that the great mass, who
are too much in the habit of letting others
do their thinking, are satisfied with them as
the whole of their religious duty, and seek
and act no further. Will some one be so
good as TO tell Us of the possible practical
benefit of fast on fast day, or repIeion
on thanksgiving day. Can it be possible
that such thngs are acceptable TO the Gre
ator. Is the mind fitted better for refec-

ton of stripes. We trust that the time will
arrive when men will begin to think that re-

union. meeting, of which P. Judson was chairman
and l.. Grant, Secretary. This last meeting made
out ticket consisting OF persons nominated On Ell
Their the Democratic or Wing tickets, with two or
three EXCEPTIONS Mr.. Pierce being put on for chair

We have no doubt that our Milwaukee
neighbois will now take effective measures
10 guard against fire. 1t seems necessary
before any community will fully protect
themselves in this matter, that they must 90
through the ordeal Of experience. We
could wish it otherwise. Is it not enough
that we know our own liability to be thus
visited; our total want of every thing bearing
the seInbance OF protection, 10 induce US TO
act. There is not water enough in the
whole town to scarcely extinguish pile of
burning shavlngs, and we don't know whe,h-
er there are buckets enough to carry what
little there is; and if there were plenty of
both, there is no organization or means of
making them effective. If we should 90
little more into the useful, and little less
into the ornamental, till we get stronger. it
would be better. The people, we suspect,
would be satisfied TO pay taxes, if the pro-
ceeds could be made beneficial in devisinn
guards against fire. 1t should be made a
question in the election of trustees, when
we doubt not our citizens would be in favor
OF taxing measures at olCe.

According to some philosophers, thcl

According to some philosophers, there
are great many different kinds of evil, such
as moral evil, social evil, political evil, &C.,
and they are by no means necessarily CON
nected. A man may be politically deprayed,
but socially and morally, very exemplary;
he may be morally dcpravcd. and politically
a very saint. This may be so, but it is not
our creed. We believe that all ev! has lis
source in depraved mind and unless a
man is constituted with a separate mind for
all these manifestations, he will be tie same
in all spheres of action.--Thc same mind
which generates rascality i'll one place will
be apt to do it in another and we should be
very 10th to trust a political reprobato in
any sphere of life. If he does not tetray
other trusts-it is not from principle bat
from force of law or dictate of interest. We
always dread then to see unprinciped poll
ticians rewarded. Aside from the evil ex-
ample of successful prohigacy; we considel
public trusts unsafe in their hands. The re-
straint Of principle is not there and it is &C.
cident alone. if thoy pursue the path of du-
~, which keeps them therc-the accden,
of want of oppor,unity-to do otherwise &c
