Double. double.
Toll and trouble,
if Love DO not fan the fire.

! We have seen Nature crest III ner ven OF snowy
flowers for the bridal. We have seen her brooding
over her joys young mother in the pride aud full
ness of beauty. We have seen her bearing her
offspring to their richly ornamen,ed sepulchre, and
lately as if kneeling with folded hands in the still
ness of prayer while the bare trees and frozen
streams bore witness to her patience.
o much, much have we seen, and a little learned.
Such is the record of the private mind and yet as
the bright snake skin is cast many sigh and cry
The wiser mind
Mourns less for what Time takes away
Then what he leaves behind
But for ourselves, we find there is kerne! IN the
nut though its rpening be deferred I'll the late iros-
" weather and il prove hard nut 10 crack, even
then. Looking at the individual, we see degree
of growth, or the promise of such. In the child
there is force which will outlast the wreck and
reach al last the promised shore. The good man,
once reused from his moral lehargy, shall make
a;onement for his fault, and endure penance that
will deepen and purify his whole nature The poor
lost ones claim new trial in new life, and will
there we trust, seize frmer hold the good for the
experience they have had Of the bad.
I'VE never see the Stars
Till we naught else
The seeming losses are. in truth, but as pruning
of the vine to make the grapes swell more richly
But how is ii with those larger individuals, the
Nations, and that Congress of SUCH the Worlds J
We must take broad and superficial view OF these
as we have of private life, and in neither case can
more be DONE The secrets OF the confessional or
rather of the shrine do not come on paper, unless In
poetic form.
So we will not try to search and nine but only to
look over the world from an ideal point OF view
Here we find the same phenomena repeated; the
good nation is YET somehow sick al heart that you
are not sure its goodness will ever produce har-
mony oflfe; over the young nation, Jour own rich
in energy and full of gee brood terrible omens ON
ers, as Poland and Italy, seem rrecoverably lost
They NAV revive but we feel as if it must be under
new forms.
Forms come and 60, but principles are developed
and displayed more and more The cauldron SIM
mers and SO great is the fire that we expect 1t soon
to boil over and new Fates appear for Europe
Spain is dying by inches; England shows symP-
toms of having passed her meridian; Austria has
taken opium, but she must awake ere long; france
is in an uneasy dream-she knows she has oeen very
sick, has had terrible remedies administered, and
ought to be getting thoroughly well, which she IS
not Louis Philippe watches by her pillow doses
and hleeds her. so that she cannot fairly try her
strength and find whether something or nothing mas
been done. But Louis Philippe and Metternlch must
soon in the course of Nature leave this scene and
then there will be none to keep out air and hight from
the chamber and the patients will be reused and as
certain their true condition.
No power is in the ascending course except the
Russian, and that has such condensation oil brute
force animated by despotic will that it seems some
times as if it might by and by stride over Europe
and face us across the water. Then would be oppos
ed to one another the two extremes OF Autocracy and
Democracy and trial of strength would ensue
between the two principles more grand and tul than
any ever seen on this planet and OF which the result
must be to bind mankind by one chain OF eonvlc-
tons. Should indeed Despotism and Democracy
meet as the two slave-holding powers OF the world
the result can hardly be predicted. But there
is room in the intervening age Tor many chahees'
and the Cars profess to wish to free their sers as
our Planters do to free their slaves and we suppose
with an equal sincerity, but the need OF sometimes
protesting such desires is Difference TO the progress
of Principles which bid fair to have their era yet
We hone such un era steadfastly, notwithstand-
in " :
forever remarkable in our annals Our Nation has
indeed shown that the lust of gain is at present her
ruling passion She is not only resolute but shame
loss about it. and has no doubt scruple as TO lay
ing aside the glorious Office, assigned her by Fate
If Herald of Freedom Light and Peace TO the civil
lied world.
Vet we must not despair! Even so the Jewish
king. crowned with all gifts that Heaven could be-
stow was intoxicated by their plenitude, and went
astray after the most worthless idols. But he was
not permitted to forfeit finally the office designed for
bim-he was drawn or dragged back to it; and SO
shall il be with this nation. There are trials IN
store which shall amend us.
We must believe that the pure blood shown in
the time of our Revolution still glows In the heart
but the body of nation is full OF foreign elements
large proportion Of our citizens, or their parents,
came here for worldly advantage, and have never
raised their minds 10 any idea of destiny or duty
More money-more land is all the watchword they
know. They have received the inheritance earned
bv the Fathers of the Revelation, without their WIS
dom and virtue 10 seit But this cannot last The
vision of those prophetic souls must be realized else
the nation could not exist; every Body must al least
have Soul enough 10 save the expense OF salt or
il cannot be preserved alive
Wha, year it has been with US Texas an
nexed and more annexatioas in store; Slavery per-
retuated as the most striking new feature OF these
movements Such are the fruits oil American love
of liberty Mormons murdered and driven out as
an expression of American freedom oil conscience
Cassius Claws paper expelled from Kentucky that
is American freedom of the press. And all these
deeds defended on the true Russian grounds: e
the strongcrl know what you the weakerl ousn'' 10
do and be, and ii shall be So
Thus the Principles which twas supposed some
ten years back had begun 10 regenerate the world
are left without trophy for this past year. except
in the spread of Ronge's movement IL Germany
and that of Associative and Communist principles,
both here and in Europe, which, let the wording
deem as he will about their practcablity lie cannot
