Cure: Whether necessary

Progress of Reform.

A gentleman now living in London, IN 4
letter addressed to friend in Washington
received by the last steamer says:
81 am old enough to have witnessed the
burning of the Bastile. | have also wit
messed occurrences in my own country. in
the year I779, and (what | may not have
told you when | last saw you, for fearssy yon
might have thought me one of a nation OF
barbarians) | recollect the time when peo
pie used to be burnt in London by Judicial
sentence! True as | am now writing TO
you, on the 18th of March, 1889, my fif-
teenth birth day, | saw a person walk up
TO the stake alive, faggots put round him,
and burnt; and for what! For coming,
or, as it was called in the law phrase of
the day, petty treason No wonder you
Yankees discaim us for your progenitors.
But let me add, as salve for my country,
that in the following session of Parliament
| 1890, this punishment was abolished, so
that probably saw the last victim of our
then humane code. Hardly any body OF
the present day will believe me when
tell them this. Our own Lord Chief JUS
tice Denman, when told of it some thee
or four months ago, would not believe ii
| till he had satisfied himself of the fact
from the official record. And lest you,
too, should be pricking up your ears, lei
me assure you it is plain, unvarnished,
veritable tale"

Democracy and IFS Opponents.

We find the following eloquent passage
in the Massachusetts Democratic State
Address:
Democrats of this day, as did the
founders of our Commonwealth, recognize
man, mind, soul as the great element OF
the State. Lands, property, wealth, are
but the marble of the quarry that gives
form to the statue; but.it is man, thinking.
acting, reasoning, living man, that gives
life and force 10 what else would be a
cold and senseless mass.
"Democracy therefore recognizes mind
as that which gives character TO the State.
Whiggism-not professedly. but practi-
calIy, exalts wealth above man; and con-
sequently directs the energies of the state
to the accumulation and care of wealth as
the first necessity Of civil organizations.
Whiggism is therefore of a class: 1t can
not be general, It is c!annish. 1t runs

ESTIMATED.
The French President.

Mr.. De Girardin, editor of La Presse,
the leading conservative journal of Paris,
sums up the doings of President Napo-
Icons government in this wise:
ssActs of severity, and not one reform.
Faults, and not an amelioration. Expen-
ses, and not one economy. Words, and
not one act. The year is concluded with
credits voted to the amount of one thou
sand six hundred and seventy Ave millions,
and by an excess of expenditure over the
receipts of two hundred and ninety mil
lions francs.''
La RepubHque, a democratic journal
of influence, is hardly less severe. 1t says:
at is now a year since the President
of the Republic has exercised his func-
tions. What has his government achiev-
ed! What acts deserving the appreciation
and praise of impartial history have mark
ed the first year of his power? Amongst
them none are more remarkable than the
prosecutions directed against the republi-
can press. Now, these prosecutions
amount to S04, and the condemnations
pronounced inhict fines to the amount OF
1880 francs Exclusive of costs and the
additional war tax of one tenth) and 2l3
years imprisonment. We conceive that
the elect of the 10th december should dis
dain popularity!'

into affinities, and the, combination i.

into affinities, and the. combination is
arlstocracy: an aristocraey without an i'm
pulse or gene rosily. Ever doing violence
to the principles of equality Of all men in
the state, whiggism never strikes deeper
into the popular sympathies than its ad-
Juncts Of wealth and extorted privilege
give 1t the instruments and force to strike.
Not so with democracy, which inscribes
upon its banner, in letters of light, the
greai law Of Christian order-"Do unto
Others as you aoould they should do stasto
you!" Consequently democracy does
not, like whiggism, rest its foundations
upon the high tops and in the lowest val
leys of society but upon the broad table
land of the middle classes and middle in
terests. The democ ratio party therefore
naturally embraces the great classes of
men that constitute the physical, the in
tellectual, the moral force of the state; the
producers of wealth; the yeomanry who
till the soil, mechanics, manufacturers,
operatives, traders, whose labor sustains
the state and who are mutually depen-
dent upon each other.
"The whig party resting upon PRIvIL-
EGE rather than upon EQUALITY, naturally
embraces the class ofaccumulators, of wbo ose
capital stands them in place of labor, who
sustain their power and position through
the aid of wealth, and who when an emer-
gency presses, have facility in legerde
main that enables them TO become even
more democratic than democrats them
selves. Under the tone which this class
of accumulators gives 10 public sentiment
the passion of wealth has affected the
State, and perverted some of its pures'
fountains of opinion"

LIFE. Men rejoice when the sun is risen, they
rejoice also when it goes down, while they are un-
conscious ofthe decay of their own lives Men re-
Jolce on seeing the face Of new season, as at the
arrival of one greatly desired. Nevertheless, the
revolution of seasons is the decay of human life
Fragments of drift-wood meeting in the wide ocean,
continue together little space; thus parents, wives,
children, relatives, friends, and riches, remain with
us for short time-then separate, and the separa-
ton is inevitable. No mortal can escape the COM
mon lot; ne who mourns for departed relatives has
nopower to cause them to return. One standing on
the road would readily say to a number Of persons
BY, will follow you. Why, then, should person
grieve when journeying the same road, which has
been assuredy trodden by all his forefathers? Life
resembles cataract rushing down with irresistible
lmpeluosity Knowing the end of life is death,
every rght-mnded man ought to pursue that which
Is connected with ultimate bliss

The FIVE CRADLES man who had recent
~ become a votary to Bacchus, returned home one
night in intermediate state Of bOoziness that is to
say, he was comfortably drunk but perfectly con-
scious of his unfortunate situation Knowing that his
wife was asleep. he decided to attempt gaining his
bed without disturbing her, and by sleeping off his
nebriaton, conceal the fact from her altogether He
reached the door of his room without creating much
disturbance. and after Illuminating few moments on
the matter, he thought if he could reach the bedpost,
and hold on to it while he slipped out of his apparel
the remainder ofthe feat would be easily accomplish
ed. Unfortunately for his scheme, cradle stood in
direct line with the bedpost, about the middle Of
floor. OF course, when his shins came in contact
with the aforesaid piece of furniture, he pitched over
1t with perfect ooseness and upon gaining an erect
position, ere equilibrium was established he went
over it backward in an equally summary manner.
Again ne struggled to his feet, and went head fore
most over the bower ofinfant happiness Atlength,
with the fifth fall, his patience became exhausted,
and the object was yet to be overcome In despera-
ton he cried out to his sleeping parner-'Wfe wife
how many cradles have you got in the house I've
fallen over FIVE, and here's another afore me -
Suffice it to say that his wife was by this time CON-
pletey awake, and curtain lecture ensued, which
rang in his ears for many succeeding day.
