late writer traces the liberty of the
Swiss to their innate love of freedom. Hum
| bug! The only thing innate in the human
family is love of Incidence. The Swiss
fought against Gesler not because they set =
any particular value on independence, but -
because they could not pay the inordinate
taxes of their oppressers. Gesler wanted
dollar from Swiss peasant every time he
earned shilling. As this was exacting ansH
Ilmposslblity. the Swiss tur1ed anti-renters
and refused to pay anything.
| Switzerland owes her freedom not to any
peculiar conformation of her people, but to
| the sterIility of her soil The moment the -
TAX on farms comes to more thanth income
OF that farm, that moment the great body Of
Iagriculturalists seek for consolation in rum,
religion, or gunpowder The Irish are try
| ing the former the Swiss took to The latter.
In consequence of this, one has got an in-
| henLancc of rags and wretchednesS, and the ,sl
other Of freedom and contenment.

THERE is one advantage connected with
the magnetic telegraph, and that is, it makes 81
people "short and sententious." When To-
quacity is paid for by the word boring folks
becomes losing business. Ne should not
wonder if electricity drove "button holders'' 4
entirely out of the market. Let us pray, as
the tiger said to the lion when they were out

A DUTCHMAN, who had brother hung in
this country, wrote to his relatives, inform-

under him.
Mas. HARRIS says the only way to Lrevent
steamboat explosion, is to make the engin-a

is a novel one, we hope the next Congress
