not altogether agree with the conclusions of his cor

''weak points :" and but few of our readers are az

that an-slavery men should oppose the Mexican wal
and the acquisition of Mexican territory upon the
supposition that it will strengthen slavery If no.

Bad luck, as we'll as mischance and mis- fortune, are all the daughters of misconduct, and sometimes mothers of success, prosperi- ", and advancement To be thrown on ones resources is to be cast into the very lap oI fortune. Had Franklin entered Philadelphia with N thousand dollars in his pocket, in- stead of one shilling and nine-pence, as he did, in all probability he would have gone on 'spres,' instead of hunting up employment, and died at thrty-tive from driving tandems and drinking brandy smashers, instead of living to the green pld age of eighty, and dying philosopher. whose amusement was tine tanning of the thunderbol,s and bottiing up lightning. Had Napoleon's father been the owner of a prncely estate, his son would never have got to be emperor A good kick out of doors is better for boy than all the rich uncles in the world.
