CONCORD-HARMONY

prevalence of these essential qualities to sue

erings, just in proportion to their indulgence

says the immutable word of Inspiration. Let
us, members of our Order, profit by the wise

Let not hydra-headed ambition-the foul spir-
it that would rule or ruin-be found in our
temple, devoted to the sacred principles Of
" Love, Purity and Fidelity" Let the rule,

tercourse and conduct with one another. Let
the only rivalry in our midst be, an emulation
to excel in propagating our principles and ex-
tending the circle of our usefulness.
Every brother has a work to perform in
this great work each in his own sphere and
all for the common good. Let US at the be-

GOOD NATURE

One cannot imagine any quality of the hu-
man mind, whence greater advantages can
arise to society, than good nature, seeing that
man is a sociable being, not made for solitude.
but conversation. Good nature not only los
sens the sorrows oflife, but increases its com
forts. 1t is more agreeable than beauty. or
even wit. 1t gives a pleasing expression to
the c~ountenance, and induces a multitude ne
the most amiable observations. It is. indeed
the origin of all society. Were it not for GOOD
nature, men could not exist together. nor hold
intercourse with one another. For this reason
man invented that species Of artificial urhan;ty
called good breeding, which is nothing NOR
than an imitation of good nature for what i

nature IS an aptitude Of the mind, on which oh

whole creation. In it lies the foundation OF
all generous feeling to our neighbors, and OF
sympathy with every member of the human
family. 1t. is a portion of that love which i

KOSSUTH.

We are among those who admire Kossuth
for his eloquence, his truthfulness, his courage,
and, above all for his love of Hungary-his
fatherland. We therefore regret, greatly re-
greet, that so many circumstances have con-
spired to justify his hope that the government
of the United States will interposein any man
ner in behalf of Hungary. That cannot be;
and he is no friend of Kossuth, or of Hungary,
who encourages suchhopes. The reaction has
already begun. Kossuth himself tells us that
ne has made speeches and demonstrations
enough, and demands action-speedy, prompt
action. He would drive us blindfdd into the
meshes of the diplomacy and revolutionary
conflicts of Europe. This he cannot do
We have noted the current Of public opinion,
as Indicated by the public press, and especially
the opinion of the interior. 1t is opposed,
unanimously opposed, to his measure Of inter
vention.

FORM it will be by discountenancing its use in
any shape, and particularly the insidious and
deceptive guises in which it is frequently and
temptingly ofered-a shape that has formed,

many an unsuspecting victim to a drunkard's
grave.

FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The Editors Of the New
York Observer say there are to be FIVE Sab
baths In February, 1852; and desire an alma
nae maker to tell them when such a thing viii
again happen. / am not an almanac maker;

CONGRESS-

Neither House has transacted any business
of Importance since the Christmas HOLIDAYS be-
gan. The Senate has been but little in session.
and the House of Representatives have been
almost exclusively occupied in debating a Res
olution to appoint a Committee to wait on
Kossuth and present him formally to that
body At the latest advices the question had
not been taken. The Kossuth mania will cost
Uncle Sam a pretty penny,

REV. MR.. TOBEY.

On Christmas night, the Divisions of this
City held a public informal meeting, and were
favored with an address by our good Brother
ToBEY, Pastor of the Baptist Church in this
City. His subject was" Mans responsibility
for his influence and conduct in every depart
ment of life" 1t was an able effort, breath
ing forth the pure spirit of the Christian, the
PhilanthrOpist and the Scholar. He took man
through all the ramifcations of life, and clear.
ly exhibited his responsibility to God, for every
department in which he was engaged. He de.
picted most fearfully, the awful responsibility
of the liquor seller, and held him up in the
light God viewed such conduct, when he in
