The last number Of the Edinburgh Re-
view has an excellent article upon the shall
low coxcombs of the Froude class; who
write 50 much miSchievous and infideI
trash in these days. There is one little
descriptive bit III it which it may be well
to circulate :-"But we are at the same
time fully convinced that i'll our day thou
sands of youths who are falling into the
same errors ana perils from sheer vanity
and allectaton who admire most what
they least understand, and adopt all the
obscarilcs and paradoXes they stumble
upon as cheap path to reputation for
prolundity who awkwardly initiate the
manner and retail the phrases OF the wrl-
ters they study and, as usual cXaggcratc
to caricaturc their least agreeable cccen-
tricitcs. We should think that some of
these more powerful minds must be by
this time ashamed of that ragged regiment
ormos, shallow thinkers and obscure wri-
tiers and takers, who at present lntcst our
literature, and whose parrot-lkc repetition
of their own stcrcotyped phrascOlogy,
mingled with some barbarOus infusion OF
half Angliciscd German, threatens to form

The Credit System.

Debts the curse of our age. ltunnerves
industry, and clogs the movements OF bu-
siness. It's an incubus that weighs down
trade-an evil spirit forever gnawiLg away
at the vitals of prosperity. Debt seems
the mark of mans fall from perfection.
He makes debts as soon as he has name
to be charged by; and marks down cre4-
its as soon as he c1 write names. The
old and he young-the rich and the poor
are haunted eternally with debts. lndl-
viduals and states are cursed and Cypress
ed with debts.
Many and many 4 long and toilsomc
days labor goes TO pay the interest and
costs upon debt. Hordcs of officers for
the collection of debts swarm about like
the frogs and lice that in the olden time
plagued Egypt. Debt makes man slave
and robs him of his toll, his contentment,
his independence, and too often of his IN
tegrity. 1t masters him TO make him hate
and fear his friends. 1t makes him pill
ant tool, to do the yeriest mcanncss at his
masters bidding. 1t girdS him with iet-
tiers and bonds worse than those wlthWhch
a malefactor is bound.
Debt cheats Honesty and drives out Er
tue. 1t sneers at Purity and POllutes In
noccnce. Itbetrays Friendship and brides
Fidelity. States are weakened and made
the prey of the money changers by debt
Countries once the Eathcrland Of happy,
hardy and contented people, arc now the
scenes of rapine and plumber by horde
of pampcred demagogucs and Oppressors;
while the sweat and toll of the emaciated
and povcrty-shicken plebeians can no
longer sufficiently fattcn the soil to make
it satisfy their nunger--and the taXgath-
crcrs.-Star Of the North.

is oblivion. The pain of burning, if in
Simultaneous, as usually is the case with
those consumed in their dwellings, would
be slight, but as protracted method OF
execution it was exceedingly cruel.
Worse than the halter, axe, or wheel,
was tAc fire which, as typical of the
flames of hclI, was cmploycdn the blind
ness of theological fury TO consume lie
foremost of the pilgrims to heaven. The
legs of Bishop Hooper were charrcd' ana
his body Scorchcd, before he was FULLY
cnvcloped in the fire, which wind blew
aside, nor was it till the pile had been
twice rcplcnishcd that he bowed his head
and gave up the ghost. 4 similar mlslor-
tune attended Ridley. An excess OF Lag-
gors hindcrcd the flames ascending, and
his cxlrcmitics were in ashes when his
body was unsingcd. Ridley yielding
slightly TO the dictates of nature, and
struggled at the height of his protractcd
anguish. Hooper remaincdlmmovabIc as
the stake to which he was chained. For
three quarters of m hour his patience was
proof against the fury of the flames, and
he died at length rs quietly as child in
its bed. But the pain of burning is OF
fearful intensity, and the meek endurance
of these heroes al Me stake was the TIL
umph of mind over the fortunes OF the
flesh.
The Head, the Hope, the Supporter Of
those who gave their bodies to be bnrnt.
drank himself of hittercr cup. OF all
the devices of cruel imagination, cruclilX-
ION is the masterpiece. Other pains are
sharper for time, but none are at once so
aronising and SO long. One aggravalon,
however, was wanting which, owing to
the want of knowledge in painters, Is still,
we believe, commonly supposed TO have
belonged to the punishment. The weight
of the body was borne By a ledge which
projected from the middle of the upright
beam, and not by the hands and feet
which were probably found unequal to
the strain. The frailty of mans frame
comes at last TO be its own defence; buI
enough remained to preserve the pre-emI'
ncncc of torture to the cross. hc pro-
cess of mailing was exquisite torment, and
vet worse in what cnsucd than i'll the ac-
mal inniction. The spikes ranked, the
wounds innamcd, the local injury produc'
ed general fever, the fever most ntol'
cradle thirst; but the misery OF miserieS
to the sufferer was, while lacked with 40
onv, to be fastened in a position which
did not permit him even to wrIlhe. Eve
ry attempt to relieve the muscles ever!
instructive movement of anguish, only
served to drag the laccratcd flesh, an'
wake up new and acutcr pangs; and tins
torture. which must have been continually
aggra, tcd, until advancing death began
to Law it to sleop, lasted on an average
two or three days.
