SoLrTuDE.-How precious is a friend
when we are solitary and alone! 1t is not
surprising that we have as little love fol
each other asswasps or spiders, when we
consider that man in country town hss
some five orten thousand people to love,
and in large city ten or twenty times as
many; but if you want trial, keep light
house for a month.

STATE can never un-
derstand the difference between mechanical
and organic action in governments. In the
midst of the soft, tenderpeach is formed the
hard kernel, and this is cloven not by force
from without, but by the gentle upward
growth Of the young shoot within; and, in
like manner, does public opinion gently
harden into mass, which preserves the
shoots Of the future, and which cannot be
broken.
