Idleneis.

Idleness has been denomnated "the rust OF
the SOUL 1t is very irksome 10 be entirely
idle. It eats into the faculties, and depriyes
them of all their spring and vigOr. To rest
from all bodily labor, in order that the cOrpO-
real powers may be strengthened, would be, in
time, to let them decay. And so with the in
tellcc,ual. The mind does not gain vigor by
entire cessation from all labor, but by the ear
nest tesking of its powers. The great men Of
this and other ages have been made such, in the
first breaking those heajs;rong directors of their
nature to submit to the necessary toll with pa
thence, until they had practsed their powers
and disciplined their intellects, and were then
prepared to come forth boldly upon the stage 10
be the leaders and rulers Of their fellow men.
No idler upon the streets, therefore no hanger
about the bar-rooms and corners, looking up and
down the streets, or into the vacant sky for for
tune 10 arrive and alight at his Feet, will ever SO
find it. No. He must awake and arise, if he
would overtake fortune. He must sweat and
study; must dig and toll. He must form to
himself some noble end, yet an end obviously
within his possible reach, and then must address
all his mortal powers TO attain it. He must
first train those powers, to make them able. As
the eagle is said TO take her young out upon her
back, from the inaccessible heights of the preci,
pice where she has her nest, and bear them
about until they have acquired the strength ant
hardhOod TO try the flight for themselves, anC
then throws them off TO shift for themselves, Sc
must the aspiring young man. He must lOol
boldly to the eminence for which he pants
carry thither often his thoughts; exercise hi'
powers; and at length, with determined will
LET go his hold upon lesser things, and sail away
, toward his destination. He will thus be upoI
the track trOd by all great men. If he ha
abilities, skill and csurage, he may yet writ,
his name among the stars. Whereas, if he hac
given way to the suggestions of idleness, h,
would have rotted in merited obscurity.

FEARFuL PEKIL.-Two Men RESCUED FROM
DeATHIS WELL.-RLNENBER THE RrMFpY.
--CoLD WATER,-The Fon du Lac Wisconsin,
Journal relates the following wonderful pre,er-
walton o! two lives by the application of water.
The remedy is something new.
On the l9th, while driving team on the
Sheboygan road, about one halt mile east Of Lit
lies Tavern, Mr.. Chapman's attention was al
tracted by the hasty approach Of woman, who
informed him that man had been suiTocated bv
the "damp" in the bottom of well elSse by.
When he approached the place, 10 his amaze
ment, he saw the man, a German, apparently
lifeleSs, at the depth of some thirty-six feet in
a new well. In a moment the owner of the
well, Mr., II. Pierce, came in from the field, and
prepared TO descend and tie rope around the
body 10 haul it up. Before he could tie it, he
too fell senseless. Here was dilemma. No
help near and two men perishing, while he had
the greatest difficulty in keeping the distracted
wife and young lady from going down also.
Mr.. c. then started of for help, but on passing
into the road bethought himself of trying the
effect of throwing cold water into the well
which being continued, soon had the effect Of
reviving the German, so as to enable hin. to pul
the rope around the body Of Mr.. Pierce, large
feshy man. He was drawn up, but exhibited
no signs of life, being black in the face, ant
limbs. BY constant rubbing and drenchine
with water, he was restored, though slowly anC
painfully. To the energy and presence OF mind
Of MIR, Chapman, these men are indebted rol
their lives. We have been thus particular il
detail, TO impress upon the memory of the read,
er the remedy in such cases-water thrown int
1 the well.

THE DEAD OF YES rRROAY.

The heart sckens the record Of yesterdays dread

left here at O'Clock in the morning. made It's regular
stop at Norwalk and then proceeded upon is way.
Just beyond that place the road little inlet OF
the Sound by means Of a drawbrdge A. the train ap-
proached-it was running about fifteen miles an hour,
not having gained its full speed-the draw stood OPEN
having Just been raised TO allow the steamboat Pacific
to pass through The usual signals to the coming
train we're displayed, and were seen BY many of the
passengers But they not seen by the engineer,
who reeklessly drove forward into the gaping abyss
hurting to ruin the train and its freight Of precious
lives From the track 70 the surface of the river wss
fifteen feet and the tide such that the water was
twelve feet deep at the time Two passenger cars took
the fearful leap entire and the third was broken in tao
upon the brink They were broken in pieces By the
fall and Of their occupants most were either killed by
drowning OF confusion, severely wounded, the few
that escaped seeming TO have been favored by miracle
When our Reporters left the scene OF death at 9
O'Clock last evening 46 dead bodies had been recovered
8 Of the wounded had died and ~ more were il pre-

calamity can appreciate sl there is of shocking and

ACHILLI.

The eXmonk Achil announces through a London
paper his intention speedily TO leave England for the
United States, and may fairly presume that he is
on the way In the prospect of his arrival prefer
these suggestions.
Achilli was Roman Priest became Italian Patriot
then an anROmanist and, having fled TO England came
out in that country antiPapa lecturer and preach
er. While acting in this capacity he was publicly as
sailed by DR.. Newman, Ga distinguished convert from
the Anglican to the ROmsh church, a sedueer and
lbertne thoroughly corrupt and licentous, and every
way unworthy to be regarded q teacher Of Religion.
For this attack, Newman criminally proceeded
against by Achi and verdict OF Guilty obtained
the charge, but in the face of such damaging array
of testimony running through almost the entire adult
life Of the exmOnk that nobody who read the trial would
have preferred to be the rindcated Achi rather than
the cOHrcied Newman. The London Times not apt to
take the Catholic side of any controversy, most
pointed in its condemnation of the verdict and of the
ruling and charge of Lord Campbell under which il
rendered Achlli's religious congregation after
melted away, and his migration from Great Britain is
doubtless among the consequences of his encounter with
DR.. Newman.
Well be is quite right in quitting England and
none will dspute his right to turn his face toward
hOsptable shores. He has farther right TO appear
among a teacher of Religion or censor Of other
mems Religion but should he be so unwise as 10 as
sumo that character, trust he will be most severely
let alone His right speak is undoubted but il does
not impose any obligation TO listen. We pre-
sumo Roman Catholics do not want to hear him and
We protest against any step being taken re that viii
saddle Professionalism with his tainted reputation We
do not say his innocence is impossible though
not reconcile it with the testimony adduced New
mans trial but il is manifest that until his character
shall be cleared up his advocacy Of any form Of Re-
lgion can do il good but much evil. Let him re-
sPect that public of deceney which cOmmendS
him 10 silence and obscurity.

PROTECTION In RUSSIA.

On former occasion We invited the attention Of our
readers the triumph of Russia in the Great Exhibition
at London Although but half century since manusc-
lures unknown in that country and so lately a, in
1872 at tie accession 20 the throne of the present En-
peror it could produce the cloth required 10
uniform its soldiers, different is now the case that
Russia has not only shown herself capable of competing
the exhibition with the first manufactures of Paris and
Lyons but she supplies with the products of her looms
the markets Of Central Asia, and is there rapidly dis
tancing British competition thus making market for
her food and her WOOL and for the labor of her people
to the vast advantage Of the nation And all this We beg
readers toobseye has been the result short
period Of tfseirs protection.
Oar attention has been sgsin called to this subject
BY review contained in late number of the Journal
des Economists Of 4 work by Baron Haxthausen The
Baron occupied distinguished place in the Prussisn
administration. and prepared himself for the study Of
Russia BY thorough examination of the eastern prov.
Dces of Prussia, the habits and manners Of the Slavic
population which bear much relation to those of the
Russian people, and his statements are therefore emit
tied TO much attention Among them We find many
tending to show the operation of protection upon the
general condition Of the people and likely to be of in
terest for our readers TO which we desire therefore TO
call their attention.
