Life is beautifully compared to afountain
fed by a thousand streams, that perish if
one be dried. 1t is a silver cord, twisted
with a thousands strings, that break asun-
der if one be broken. Frail and t~houghtless
mortals are surrounded by innumerable
dangers, which make it much more strange
that they escape SO long, than that they al
most all perish suddenly at last. We are
encompassed by accidents every day to
crush the Wondering ten.ments that we in
habit. The seeds of disease are planted in
u constitutions by nature. The earth,
and the atmosphere whence we draw the
breath Of life, is impregnated with death
health is made to operate its own destruc-
ton! The food that nourishes contains the
elements of decay; the soul that animates
it by a vivifying fire, tends to wear it out
by its own action; death turks in ambush
along our paths. Notwithstanding this is
the truth, SO palpably confirmed by the dali
ly examples before our eyes, how little dc
we lay it to heart! We see our friends and
n~eighbors perishing among US, but how sci.
dom does it occur to our thoughts that oul
knell shall, perhaps, give the next ~fruitless
warning to the world!

ssIn Europe, every nation, except ,Russia,
lis in distress, in debt, in trouble, In deep
disorder. France was never in sodepress-
led and fearful a condition as she rs at this
moment. Her government, her finances,
her agriculture, her commerce, are al IN
CONFUSION. The same may be said of Eng
Hand, to even a great extent. Thepressure
and panic have only begun in Europe. They
have been produced BY causes which ean-l
mot be removed but by sfearful and radical
revolution in both society and ,gevernpent.j
1t is the beginning of the last, general and
fearful struggle between the institutions o.,
the feudal ages and those social principles
Iof modern origin. Under such q state'7of
l~society as exists in the United States, there
lis enough of land in Europe to feed With
ECONOMY, probably, all the preseht popula-
ltion of about 100000 900 Of people But
1.-THE terrible inequality produced BY their
social and political institutions, permits
nearly 20,0O0,0 600 Of people to live mie-
mess and luxury on the labors Of the Eest.-
The aggregate crops Of the present year, it
lis firmly belle we'd, will be as deficient as
THAT of the last. With such a prospect be-
fore them, the panic and pressure in the
money mai ket must increase-not diminish.
But a general money pressure from the Mer.
lsey to the Elbe, is only the FIRST symptom OF
that great change which is about to begin
lin Europe"
