/ The late events In Spain and Portugal
Ishow that Europe is still unsettled. OF the
Important fact, no stronger fact can be add
duced, than that the allied powers should
have thought proper. on principle salts
factory to themselves, to have interposed bv
force in the internal concerns of Spain. To
what extent such inte-position may be car
red on the same principle, is question in
which all independent powers, whose gov
ernfnents differ from theirs, are interested,
even those remote, and surely none more so
than the United States. Our policy in re.
gard to Europe, which was adopted at an
early stage OF the wars which have so long
agltated that quarter of the globe, neyerthes
less remain the same, which is not to inter-
fere in the internal concerns of any of its
powers; to consider the government, de fac
10, as the legitimate government for us; to
cultivate friendly relations with it, and to
preserve those relations by frank, firm,
and manly policy; meeting id all instances,
the just claims Of every power, submitting
to injuries from none. But in regard to
these continents, circumstances are eminent
y and conspicuously different 1t is inn
possible that the allied powers should ex-
end their political system to any portion of
,ither continent without endangering our
'eace and happiness; nor can any one. be-
ieve that our Southern brethren, if left to
themselves, would adopt it of their own ac-
ord. 1t is equally impossible. therefore.
hat we should behold such interpositioD, in
ny form with Indifference. If we look. to
he strength and resources Of Spain and
hose new governments, and their distance
ON each other, it must be obvious that she
an never subdue them 1t is still the true
oliey of the United States to leave the par1
cs to themselves, in the hope that other
overs will pursue the same course

LAZY Bors.-A lazy boy makes lazy
man, justas sure as a crooked twig makes
a crooked tree. Who ever yet saw a boy
grow up in idleness that did not make a.
shiftless vagabond when he became man
unless he had fortune left him to keep up
appearances The great mass of thieves
lpaupers and criminals that gil penitentiaries
and aims houses, have come up to what they
are by being broughtup in idleness. Those
who constitute the business portion Of The
community, those who make our great and
nseful men, were trained up insiheir boy
hood to be Industrious. -
When boy is old enough TO begin to
play in the street, then he is old enough to
be taught how to work. Of course we
would not deprive children of healthful,
playful exercise, or the time they should
spend nstudy, but teach them to work'little
by little as a child is taught at school,
In this way he will acquire habits Of indus
try which will not forsake him when he
grows up.
Many persons who are poor let their chill
dren grow up to fourteen or sixteen years
Of age, or till they can support them no lor.S
ger. before they put them to labor. Such
children not having any idea Of what work
IS, and having acquired habits ofidlenessi
go forth toinpose upon theiremployers with
lazincss. There is a responsiveness in all
labor set before them. and TO get it done,
no matter how, i their only aim. They are
ambitious at Play. but duh at work. The
they DO not stick to one
thing buta shorttime: they rove about the
world, getinto mischief, and finally find their
way to hesprisOn or the falns-housea ~
With the habit Of idlepess. vice may

a lazy boy is not only bad boy. but q
DISGRACE to his parents, for il is through

Who cannot read, ard much less write their

ST.. LOUIS REMOVED TO THE CouNrsY.
Much apprehension has long been felt
in 81. Louis that the action of the wa
tiers of the Missouri, where they enter
the Mississippi above that city, will
eventually wear away the Illirois shore
to such an extent as to force a ne W
channel for the great Father of Waters,
and thus leave St. Louis some five or
six miles out in the country. The pre-.
sent food. as usual, is tearing away the
bank, having washed of a mile and a
half of the telegraph line near Alton,
with all the land on which the poles
were planted. The editor of the Alton
Courier says:
AS much abrasion of the Illinois
shore for the next ten years. or even
FIVE years, as has been occurring for
few yesrs past, and the lakes and lows

The Gillian farm is now nearly all

THE POLICY OF SANTA ANNA.-The

really designs not for foreign wars, but
for the promotion Of his own ambitious
designs at home. The tone Of the press.
which is now completely under the con.
troll of the dictator, indicates DISPOSE
ton to overthrow the federal system,
and to establish central government.
This cannot be done without an army,
for great part of the people are OPP
posed TO it, and will not yield their op>
position to anything but force.
