has 80 many tines demonstrated, thai men who
quit their calling 10 dabble in worldly affairs ana
human strugglings, become far more debaset
than ordinary men. The more false their posi-
ton, the more adverse to the sentiments the,
are bound to preach, the greater, of necessity
the moral struggle, and the more certain and in
tense the triumph of evil passions.
The great feature Of all this tyranny and per-
secution is, that it shakes religious systems from
one end of Europe TO another In the old time
there was no press to make known the crimes
of power. Now, such acts as the fJllowing are
soon circulated rI.a
"RomAs JusrIcE-By way of specimen OF
Roman Justice, the following entry from the
prison Carceri Move of Rome is given by an
Italian paper: 'Conmitted by the goaer Neri TO
the general Inspector of prisons, NJ Ferrani, the
following Francis, son of the late Ladaceo,
John Papate and Lucateli, of Seize or Rome,
AGED 28 years, mason or shoemaker, condemned
| by the most eminent council, iuquisitors of the
holy office, the l4th July, 1850, for anknoion
crime, to five years at the galleys."
What can result from these atrocities I! No.
thing more or less than that despotism is, in so
doing, digging its own grave All these acts,
whether perpetrated from tanatcism, or any
other frenzy, or whether the deliberate act Of
swindling for the purpose of Selling the pro-
perty of others, have the same injurious ten
dency to the cause. Na
Hungary likewise groans under Austrian rule,
and regulations to which she, hitherto u recog-
nized independent European kingdom, is unac-
cusomed to- Even the Croate is discontinued.
Poland slumbers and conspires. Germany
writhes under the influence of Russia; and
France aspires to establish on n firmer basis the
rights of democracy, and wipe out the stain
which the trucking policy of LOUIS NAPOLEON
has brought upon her.
1t is generally supposed that new effort
will soon be made in Italy to divest herself Of
her intolerable yoke. 1t will probably be the
signal for a general movement. The chances
ofan outbreak in France are less than any where,
Aad yet many look to her. The utmost that
she could do, would be to change her policy by
the election ola liberal government. That would
be enough for Europe.

The balance of power is still 80 unequal, that a
complete victory on the part Of democracy can
hardly as yet be expected.

Tue You've SUCKER Volunteers IN MExico.-
writer in Canadian paper, describing the
peculiarites Of the young in Illinois, tells the
following story THE way that the young Sue
ker Volunteers fought in Mexico, may give you
some idea of characteristics He was there per-
fectly desperate in fight. One of the officers re-
lated to me little scene which occurred at Buena
Vista when the whole brunt OF the Mexican adj
vance was borne by an Illinois regiment. II seem
ed as though they would be annihiliaied by SUI
periority ofnu:abers, when young Sucker drew
his rifle deliberately, and dropped Mexican.
"Sei up The pins ~ and the whole regiment took
up the word and at every fire would shout--"Set
up the pins" The officer said they fought like
demons, and with much drollery and fun, as If
on spree. AT another time when charge was
ordered, one the officers could not think Of the
word, and he shouted let her rip ~ when the
whole line burst out with yell, 'Let her rip !"
and dashed in among the Mexcnns, laughing and
shouting the new battle cry"

TEMPERANCE AND THE VINE.-We have long
been Of the opinion that the best remedy against
the love ofstrong drink-a begetting sin with the
Anglo-Saxon race-is the free use of pure wine.
1t is remarkable fact that in the wine districts of
Europe, the people are comparatively free from
the brualizing habit characterization. Among the
rural population OF France, Italy, Spain, &C., the
wholesome light wines in common use, are con-
sidered essential to the table as bread and meat
The same, indeed, may be said of all classes We
have heard it remarked in derision, that give
man of this class piece of bread, few dry figs or
dates, little sweet oil and bottle Of caret, and
he will feast like a lord and be happy. This mode
of living is coeva with he introduction Of the vine
and olive in those countries, and where a is
found INDUCING in the of strong drink he is
the subject of remark and commiseration by his
friends and acquantances. A modern temperance
reformer would probably obtain new and valuable
ideas upon the subject by visiting Havana There
temperance society, except through American
newspapers, was never heard of Yet in popuia-
ton Of nearly 100000 souls it is rare thing to
hear of Creole or Spanard who is in the habit
of using distilled spirits. In regard to wines.
HpWtfei, CiuTcl anu s0uefHe, all classes
make free use of them at every meal
We find in the Hortculturisi the following SEN
sible remarks
"Very few Americans, except those who have
Travelled abroad, estimate properly the moral value
of pure light wines-because pure wines very
rarely find their way across the Atlantic.
Containing as hooks and clarets DO, only about
eight or nine per cent ofalcohol they are far more
wholesome than coffee and the cheap production
ofsuch wines will do more to decrease the consump-
ton of ardent spirits than any other crcum-
stance. Neither law nor morals can be brough,
to bear upon the present age so to force men to
be entirely temperate-but the introduction of
wholesome, pure light Wines at cheap rate viii
las there is an abundant proof in the wine dis
ircts of Europe 1t is for this reason, as well as
because we look upon it source of national
wealth, that We regard the successful labors Of
such men as Mr.. Longworth and Mr.. Buchanan,
in introducing and perfecting the wine culture, as
worthy of the highest public gratitude"

FRiAR LuBIS has received the following ,m-

what my intimacy with Mr. Cook enables me
