A BEAUTIFUL PAssAeE-We find, in the
Home Book of the Picturesque the follow.
ing beautiful passage By Washington Irving:
And here let me say word in favor of
those vicissitudes of our climate which are
tooof;en made the subject of repining. If they
annoy us occasionally by changes from hot
to cold, from wet to dry, they give US one Of
the most beautiful climates in the world
They give us the brilliant sunshine of the
south of Europe, with the fresh verdure of
the North. They float our summer sky With
clouds Of gorgeous tints and feecy whiteness,
and send down showers to refresh the pam
ting earth and keep it green. Our seasons
are all poetical; the phenomena Of our hcav-
ems are full of sublimity and beauty. Win
ter. withus, has none ofits proverbial gloom.
1t may have its bowling winds and chilling
frosts, and whirling snow storms, but it has
also its long intervals of cloudless sunshine,
when the snow-clad earth gives redoubled
brightness to the day I; when at night the
stars beam with intense lustre, or the moon
foods the whole landscape with her most
limpid radiance and then the Joyous out
bread Of our springs, bursting at once into
leaf ana blossom, redundant with vegalion and
vociferous with life and the ppicr1rivrs vf
our summer-its morning yoluptuousness
and evening glory-its airy palaces of sun
gilt clouds, piled up in deep azure sky ;
and its gust of tempest of almost tropical
grandeur, when the forked lightning and the
believing thunder volley from the battle
ments of heaven and shake the sultry atmos
rhere and the sublime melancholy of oul
autumn, magnificent in its decay, withering
down the pomp and pride Of a woodland
country, yet rejecting back from its yellow
forest the golden scnerity of the sky. Surely
We may say that in our climate the heavens
declare the glory of God, and the frmamen
showeth forth his handiwork dav unto da
uttereth speech, and night unto night show

The Fury Of the Conflict.

We saw. short time since, picture Of
the battle of Waterloo presenting the mo-
ment when the two mighty armies were in
the utmost fury of the conflict, and men were
rushing with terrific rage upon the deadly
weapons arrayed against them, and strug-
Cling with giant strength to overcome amid
falling thousands. 1t was no unapt picture, we
thought, of the powers Of alcohol and the cold
water armies nowin the field, and struggling,
as men never have struggled before in any
moral conflict Burning Indignation has
reused the resistance of half the nation to
the ravages ofthat bloody Apollyon who has
filed cities and towns with his carnage; and
the mighty tread of public sentiment to ex-
tirpate and drive him from the land, has
brought him forth with all his fury, with hell
following ; and now we see them hand to
hand, breast to breast, each for life and for
I.-.ll ...,l 4arIlan n44-
is yet in the future. While we were moving
on under the silken banner of moral suasion,
and in honeyed accents laboring topersuade
the liquor seller to give up his murderous
traffic, he admired our zeal, but laughed at
the bounding of our weapons as they touch
ed his thick, scaly sides. But the Maine
Law, as it comes to put on the graphing
irons, and send the steel into his very heart
blood, is not to be triaed with; and hence
his rally, and his furry. And it is amazing
who are enlisted on his side; who stand afar
of, neutral who question the Constitution,
ality and right of our proceedings, and who
even plead for an unlimited liberty to his
horrid ravages. In ourselves we have never
had but one opinion ofthe end. We know
} that this terrific power, this Apolyon, thl
! prince ofDeath and hell, is to be vanquished
