A PREcEPT FOR THE HEAVY LADEN-We find
the following in the last New York Tribune 1t
is sort of lesson very different from those rad
ical, revolutionary ones, which that paper
usually teaches, and worth whole volumes of
such:
PHILosorHY IN AN ArRoN.-Passing group of men
yesterday, engaged in laying up wall-they laying
up walls everywhereone Of the workmen talking an
arch exclaimed It'll tumble down ~ Put a weight
it, them was the brief response Of man in an apron,
who Immediately proceeded to tap brick very affection
atey with his trowel. " Put weight on it, then y
Where will you find longer chapter Of philosophy done
down into smaller compass 1t Is the true doctrine
living and laboring and succeeding Not bolstered up
propped up, held up but knitted into strength set ~
not to sink the trade-beneath a burden.
When wearies with the little abors Of life and
faulters the lay upon him heavy burden,
wonted responsibility and he will stand erect, sitter
the sinews and summon up the blood"
The lost aged wanderer, whose feeble limbs refused
to bear him further his daughter sinking down tt
die and all at once ray OF TINS beautiful philosophy
shoue into his soul, and he said Lean daughter
and I'll be strong!n And he as strong and they reach
ed their home in safety. This doctrine is exemplihel
every day We know couple who had they said fort,
times day aud to every body that within hainl
distance, dreadful hard time get alongonly thinl
Of it, three children most of size and all agrowng
Well they have olive branches round their tab
now, and neither time disposition to complain AMI
the why they have many to lean them j
makes them strong.
This now, is of quite a different sense and
temper from that melancholy rant about socia
reforms to be reached by subversion and of new
discovered principles for enabling societies to b.
free and fourishing, without virtue or religion
or valor or prudence, in which the Tribune usu
ally INDUCES. Let it follow the new vein which
it has now struck. It's a good. and brave phil
osophy, that will strengthen head, heart anl
arm to their tasks, and make life manlier, il
making it more cheerful Bravo, Horace

ANOTHER PRINTER t. We take pleasure in
joining with the New York Mirror in the sub
joined eneomium and fluctuations. Erastus
Brooks deserves them well. He is most
worthy, sound and useful man of good abili-
ties, good principles, good feelings, all made
active by boundless industry. He was bred a
printer, and we might almost say educated in
that practical university, the composing room
of newspaper. For near twenty years, though
still young, he has been the editor of important
political journals; and acting generally as then
Washington correspondent, he has, for great
part of that period, studied politics in their far
best--we might almost say, their only school il
this country. Thus trained, he will be found
fit, because familiar with those public dutiei
into which he is now passing. We have known
few politicians who, when tried, proved to BE-
good for anything as editors; and, on the con
trary, we have known few men who were good
editors, that did not readily make good legisla-
tors. Indeed, how should anybody come to
understand public affairs better than Skillfal

REMARKABLE CoSCuRRESoE GREAr MINDS "A fact
illustrating the remarkable of great intel

the time and had the good fortune to raise many laugh
aud to rumpe sundry shirt collars Singular to say

prolific wit has hit off precisely the sketch
word for word and not changing syllable through

that the story has changed its to John Smith and

Banouettes on Common Street.

| The property owners on Common street have
petitioned the City Council to have bdnquettes
fifteen feet wide laid on that street, from Clai
borne street to Galvez Canal. The Council has
as vet taken no decisive action on the subject,
although two petitions, numerously signed, have
been sent in, urging it to do SO. When the
matter was called up, objection was made to
granting the prayer of the petitioners, on the
ground that banquettes of such great width
would entail very heavy expense upon the
city. Whether the expense of such an improve
ment would not be balanced by the advantages
is the point for consideration.
Those members of the Council who oppose
the work on the ground of extra expense, have
probably not duly calculated the comparative
costs of side banquettes and street pavements.
To lay sidewalks fifteen feet wide, does not in
volve widening of the street, nor does it in
crease the quantity of paving to be done; it
only makes difference in the quality of that
paving. The wider sidewalks are made, the
narrower must be the open portion of the street,
| and the less must be the number of superficial
feet required to be paved with square or round
| stone. If square stone paving is more expen-
sive than the paving on walks, which is adj
mitted to be the case; and if paving with round
stones is more expensive in the long run than
paving with square stones, then are these facts
a strong argument on the score of cheapness, in
| favor of laying wide sidewalks. From the best
| information before us, wide side walks taking
the reduced width of the middle portion of the
street into consideration do not involve greater
/ expense than narrow ones.
| But there is a strong argument in favor of
the petitioners in this locality, on the score of
| convenience. Wide banquettes are much the
most desirable, and considering the rapidly in
creasing population of the city, they are be-
coming indispensable. That portion of Common
street where the petitioning property holders
desire to have wide walks, is very spacious
thoroughfare, and no inconvenience could result
from the encroachment of the walks on the
open street. loom enough would be left for all
purposes, with the walks even twice as wide as
are desired The additional beauty and conve-
nience resulting from widening of the walks,
would more than counterbalance the expense.
| Apart from these considerations, two thirds
of the cost of laying these walks is paid by the
property holders, and they are the best judges
of their own wants, and of the amount of taxes
they are enabled to pay for the improvement
| they ask.
Taking these things into consideration, we
think the Council would do well to give ear to
the prayer of the petitioners and give them
what they ask
