CRrrNe EvLs.-That in a country wiehe in a
temporal sense knowledge is the"one thing needfuf'
schools, and seminaries must langush, teachers 60
unfed because their services are not required; Girls
be educated to dleness, because machinery has SUI
perseded hand labor and nobody takes the hint that
time thus thrown upon Their hands may be spent in
improvement; Boys be thrust into the world to take
the place of men after picking up snatteHg of the
language of trade or mechanical arts, arouad shops
stores, depots, and Warehouses, nterspersed with
beer, toddy, cigars, and "great swelling words of
vanty;" Professions be crowded to repeton by half
edged bantngs filled with little except conceit the
law thus becoming laughing stock, Divinity, delu-
sion and medicine, moonshine in fine that as near
as we can discover.
"Judgment has fed to british BEATS"
"And men have lost their reason"
All these are crying evils, and we very much fear
that could an Apochyiptcal prophet retrospect the
worlds history from the last "hour of departed time
he would say of them as st. John writes of the
Angels "they Continually do cry.
@ The .Alphadelpaia association has announced
that in consequence Of pecunary embarrassment, the
prosecution of the project suspended for the pres
ent. We trust it is suspended forever. We fully
sympathise with any feeling SOUL in view of all the
evils tmostly self aicted) that ~aesh is heir to,
but we could never, and cannot now, participate In
the sanguinc hopes of the Associationsts that their
peculiar plan is to be the grand Panacea.
The evil man endures-its root we speak of-lies
deeper than his social system, and nothing wrong

these may be taken as the emboyments of the two
social systems-education and other circumstances
being the same, he will be the same with the ad-
ditional disadvantage, that in the latter there is
the greater scope for the exercise and growth of evil
propensities and dispositions the man will become
proportionably more corrupt. Despite all the vision
seers of the world, the Family will still remain the
proper nursery of men and citizens,-Domestic hap
pness the only bliss that has survived the fall.
SPRING-Nothing can be more pleasant to the eye
or inspiring to the heart than the appearance of for
est and field at the present moment. We never
remember to have seem
gall nature quick, and bursting into birth"
with more abundant promise of plenty.
Not onl! 90 the nelus give hopes tnat the "f1orn
of plenty is to be enp,ed into the lap of the Hus
bandman, the coming harvest, but every tree capable
of bearing fruit, seems striving with Its fellows, to
give the greatest for gladness and thanks

SETTLEMENT OF THE OREGON QUEsrIoN.-The
Journal Of Commerce, publishes that the Or
egon question is finally settled, and even gives the
conditions, Wis 40 deg to the Straits of Fuca thence
through the said Straits to the Pacifc-leaving to
Great Britain all of Vancouvers Island and the nav
cation of the Columbia for term of years. This
''consumaton devoutly to be wished by the Jour-
nal, is represented to have been brought about by
"certain gentlemen at Washington" some two
months since, but to have been somewhat retarded
by the "uncourteous manner in which the offer of
arbitration rejected" If there truth in this
statement, the Journal could easily identify the
"certan gentlemen" as give the terms of the bar
gain. Besides, perhaps these influential gentle
had better step out from their concealment and
ask the people 10 relieve them from being retarded
by the action of government. We put the story
down as hoax.
