Grumbling is sneither wholesome move
ment nor its precursor; for the very act of
grrmbling absorbs the energies which are
requisite to carry man beyond the condi-
tion Of which he complains. There is no
thing so easy as grumbling, and nothing
more indicatiFe Of dull and barren spirit.
It IS still wou. than content; for while j:
prevents advaacemeat il neutralizes even
The tame enjoyment of lRlmobility. Show
US q town where the people are habisnal
grumblers, and have the ingenuity to pick
a flaw in every thing that is attempted, and
we will undertake TO show you crowd of
do-nothings: soinvariably is it the case that
the growing fault-fnder is practically a
sluggard-a parsonage who, reposing in
selfsufficient Incidence, can put all the
world right in theory, without having sense
to manage his own affairs.

EIr. WeMterIs Great speaohl

the speech Of the Hon. Daniel Webster, deli.
vered in the United States Senate on Thursday
is regarded in all quarters as The great efFnrt of
the present session of Congress, and it is looked
upon as better calculated 10 bring about a sell
tement of the "Vexed question" than any speech
that has yet come from the North or the Sonth.
During the delivery OF this speech al Mr.
WIS, the galleries of the Senate and the Senate
Chamber were so crowded. that it was impossi-
Bile for one half OF the Senators themselves to
occupy their seats. Ati
We venture TO say, from all we could gather
during brief visit TO Washington, that no
speech ever delivered on any subject in that
Senate or elsewhere, was looked for with a
deeper solicitiude, or listened to by its hearers
with more profound interest, than this states
man-like effort of Mr.. Webster. It's praise will
be sung in all quarters, save, perhaps in some
dark regions of abelitonisrn, where the spirit of
fanaticism is such TO blind those who are Batu-
rally disinclinca TO respect the rights of the
South
Among Wings and Democrats. the writer of,
this (The Junior) has heard the highest praise
bestowed on Mr.. Webster for this, his crowning
effort, and We will venture to say it will be IA
vourably received In all sections Of the Union.s
Richmond (Va) Republican.

Latin grammar; but it was dull, and hated

Latin grammar does not suit you, try ditch

wants ditch, and you may put BY Latin
and try that This seemed a delightful
change, and to the meadow | went, but
soon found ditching harder than Latin,
and the first forenoon was the longest | ever
experienced.
"That day ate the bread Of labor, and
glad was | when night came on. That
night | made some comparison between
Latin grammar and ditching, but said not
a word about ii; dug next forenoon, and
wanted to return to Latin at dinner; but 1t
was humiiiating, and | could not do it.
AT nigh, toll conquered pride; and though
it was one of the severest trials | ever had
in my life, told my father that if he chose
would 90 back to Latin grammar. lie

any distinction, it has been owing to the
two days. labor in that abomnable ditch.

have received files of the South african CONNER

Obsearer to the 22d of the same month. The
news is unimportant. There were, as usual, some
rumors of an intended outbreak among the KAT

were believed by the Journal to be without foun-
datlon The Cape Town papers seem to take
the affair more seriously, and exhibit considera-
