THE MEN FOR THE TIMEs.-We like an
active man, one who has the impulse of
the age-of the steam engine in him. A
lazy, plodding, snail placed chap might
have got on in the world fifty years ago;
but he wont do these times. We live i'll
an age of quick ideas, men think quick
speak quick--eat, sleep, court, marry and
die quick; and slow coaches amt tolerat-
ed "Go ahead, if You burst your biler,
is the motto of the age; and he succeeds
best in every line of business, who has
least of the turtle in him, strive, reader,
to catch this spirit Of the times; be cup
and dressed" always-not gaping and
rubbing your eyes, as if you were half
asleep, but wide awake for whatever
may turn up,-and you may be t''some-
body" before you die. Think, plan, re-
fleet, as much as you please, before you
act, but think quickly and closely, and
when you have fixed your eyes upon an
object, spring to the mark OF once.

SouND SENrIMENTs.-The following is
an extract from General Taylor's speech
at Beaver; Pa:
the operations in Mexico to the officers
and soldiers, both regulars and volunteers,
more than to myself; but glorious as those
victories were, they have left many
pang behind The wife who loses hus-
band-the parent who loses child-hnds
but poor consolation in the fact that a
victory was achieved. We are nation
of soldiers from Maine to Texas; and the
great thing to be feared is, that we may
encourage too much warlike spirit at
the expense of the arts of peace. Peace
is the true policy of the country, and. al
though, we cannot but sympa;hiZe with
the struggling nations OF Europe, we
should remember the axiom of Washing
ton, and avoid all ''entangling alliances"
still, if war comes, as 1t sometimes must,
am in favor Of carrying it on, with all
the force and vigor we possess.
These are noble sentiments-saturated
with the true spirit of christian patriotism.
Peace, and the cultivation of the arts of
peace, IS the true policy of this county
The despots of the old world seek to inn
press upon the minds of their oppressed
victims: that republicanism is the sycony-
nv of anarchy and blood shed. Honor
able peace; and Jealous and enlightened
prosecution of the arts of peace. is the
best and most effectual refutation of this
libel. General Taylor has a just appre.
citation alike of the horrors of war and the
blessings of peace; and, while he will be
slow to counsel war, he will be as jealous
of our national honor, and it will be as
safe in his hands, as in the hands of those
who are "tired of the miserable cant
about peace. ~ O. Bulletin.

at St. Louis on the 24th ult, from Louis
Vile, report that Capt. Abram Tyson,
formerly commander of one of the u. S.
snag boats. was inhumanly murdered IN
his bed at his residence, opposite Mount
Vernon, on the night of the Goth ult.. by
one of his negroes. 1t is said that the
negro previously threatened that if his
master sold his wife he would kill him.
The night following the sale he stole into
the sleeping apartment of Capt. Tyson,
took out a double barrelled shot gun
loaded with buck shot, and upon reach
ing the prizza discharged both barrels
through the window at Capt. Tyson and
his lady, as they lay in bed The first
discharge i: is thought to have missed its
aim, the second took effect upon the low
er part of Capt. Tyson's body. causing
his death in few moments Mrs. Tyson
was awakened by the first report, and
fortunately left the side of her husband
lust in time to save her own life. The

GENERAL TAYLOR AND THE CLERGY

GENERAL TAYLOR AND THE CLERGY
While the President was in Harrisburg,
he was waited upon by the reverend
clergy of that borough. They were in
troduced by the Rev. Mr.. Colt, of the
Episcopal church, who, after presenting
the different gentlemen, addressed the
President to the following effect:
Sir-The clergy of Harrisburg have
called in a body to tender you their re-
spects, and they desire TO express to yon
their high consideration for yourself, as a
man, and for your office. Your past ex-
perience in the evils of war is our surest
guaranty that you will labor to secure
to this nation the blessings of peace.
We trust that your administration will be
SO guided by wisdom from above as will
ensure the welfare and the prosperity of
the people of these United States And
for yourself, personally, sir, we desire
happiness. We welcome You to our
borough, and hope that your visit here
and throughout our State will be both
pleasant and agreeable.
To this address Gen. Taylor responded
in the following words:
tudllA YOU, SCutlOIlCu, lOl yOul hiAO-
ness. My life for more than forty years
has been spent on the frontier of our
country. Wherever there has been the
most of hardship and the most of danger,
the Government has seen fit to require
my services; so that 1 have indeed enjoy
ed opportunities of learning the horrors
of war. | have ever been averse to war;
and, in my negotia tions with the hostile
powers, as in advising with the Govern
ment, I have ever advocated pacific
measures. 1t is natural for the people to
rejoice in victory: but all the gIories of
victory cannot compensate the losses that
come upon individuals. Trlumphs will
not make up to parents for the loss OF
their sons, nor to the wife for the loss of
her husband, nor to the child for the loss
of its parent. We must bring war home
to the hearth-stOme 10 appreciate all its
horrors. But while | confess my aver
sion to war. yet | must also declare my
purpose to defend the country against all
aggressions; and would that all that is
dear to me should perish, rather than any
wrong should be done to our free institu-
tions. My reception in your State has
been most cordial, and the hearty well
come of this day, especially, shall never
be forgotten.
The interview then closed, and the
reverend gentlemen retired.

LAMARTINE INsANE.-Mr. F. Gaillardet
writes as follows 20 The Courier des Etats
of this city. His letter is dated Paris,
August 16:
Last week NJ de Lamartine had as.
sembled at his table several OF his intimate
friends, before leaving for the Cote dor,
where he has offered for sale his paternal
estate, which fortune does not permit him
to retain. The author of the :sG irondists"
seemed absent-minded, but this sad pre-
occupation was easily attributed to the
hard extremity to which he was reduced,
and to the physical pains of an acute
rheumatism, which had prevented his
appearance in the National Assembly
since his election.
The illustrious individual took soup
with his guests, then caused himself to
be served with it three times more in
succession, as if he had taken nothing at
all. After that, during the whole repast
he wore sad and dreamy air. and touch
ed nothing until plate of mer5ugues q
la creme was placed under his eye. At
the site of this dainty his brow cleared,
and he drew plate toward him. examin-
ed it with look of appetite, and then
suddenly began to rub his hands with
the cream, and lathered his whole face
with it. This act of arrangement struck
with stupor the guests and his fearful
wife, who instantly rendered all possible
care to the sufferer A physician was
called, and all present Were besought to
keep secret what after all may only be
an accidental and temporary alteration.
But is a secret possible nowadays!
This one has got out like all the rest. In
spite of the respectaballty of the drawing
rooms in which l have gathered the re-
port, I prefer to doubt its authenticity.
The insanity of Lamartine would be not
only misfortune, but sort of dishonor
for entire humanity, struck IN one OF Its
most admirable illustrations. Every in
telligence would incline to miStrust itself,
and ould feel itself in some sort shaken
by the fall of Lamartine.
