CfRCAssIAN AND SOUND PHILOSOPHY. Do
not believe" says the redoubted Schamyl, in
one of his addresses, /" that God favors the
greater number. God is on the side of tho good,
and these are always less numerous than the
Goddess. Look around, and you will see every
whero the proof of what ftell you. Are not
the roses less in number than the tares! Is not
'nnd moro rlAniif,l' than pe"rls Are tl,ere rsgt
more insects than useful animals' Is not gold
scarcer than base metals! And are we not
far more noble than gold and roses, than pearls
and horses, and all useful animals taken to-
gethcr! All the treasures of the earth are
transitory, but we have tho promise of eternal
life."

more robust than others. Births and deaths are
more frequent by night than by day. The num-

LOST DAY--Hs Kah.e.--A day has perished
from our brief calendar pfs,,days; and that we
could endure; but this day is no more than the
reiteration of many other days. days counted
by thousands, that have perished to the same
extont and by the same unhappy means, viz
the evil usages of the world made eFectual and
ratified by our own neglect Bitter is the up
bradng which we seem to hear from secret
monitor" My friend, you make very free with
your days pray how many do you expect to
have! What is your rental, rs regards the to-
tai harvest Of days which this life is likely to
yield!" Let US consider. Threescore years
and ten produce a total sum of 25 $50 days to
say nothing of some seventeen or eighteen more
that will b, payable to you as bonus on ac-
count of leap years Now, out of this total,
one-third must be deducted at q blow for
single item, viz; sleep. Next, on account Of
illness, of recreation, and the serious occupl-
tions spread over the surface of life, it will be
little enough to deduct another third. Recol-
lect, also, that twenty years will have gone the
earlier end of your life, (viz; above seven
thousand days) before you can have attained
any skill Or system, or definite purposes in the
distribution of your time. Lastly for that
single item which, amongst the Roman armies,
was indicated by the tcchnicals sphrase.. corpus
cnrare," attendance on the animal necessities,
viz: eating, drinking, washing, bathing, and
exercises, deduct the smallest allowance consis-
tent with propriety, and summing up all these
appropriations, you will not find SO much as
four thousand days left disposable for direct in
telectual culture. Four thousand, or forty
hundreds, will be hundred forties; that is,
according to the lax Hebrew method Of ind-
eating six weeks by the phrase of g forty days"
you will have q hundred bills or drafts on
Father Time, valuo six weeks each, as the whole
period available for intellectual labor. A solid
block of about eleven and half continuous
years is all that u long life will furnish for the
development of what is most august in man &
nature. After that, the night comes when no
man can work; brain and arm will be alike
unssryiceable; or, if the life should be unusu
ally extended, the vital powers will be dropping
rs regards all motions in advance. Quincy.

NC VIRGINIA"

There come occasionally into every ones life
moments when he feels that il all the world
should hear precisely his sentiments ON any
subject Of present interest, it would be so much
the better for all the world. And in these
days, when conversation is considered proper for
those Of the company who don't dance why
should not Young Virginia put in her contri-
button
That the lods do not grow old, is most
ancient and orthodox sentiment; hence con-
Tess to a pendant for those parties that spring
up in various directions, and who feel that tho
objects they seek inspire them with vigorous,
fresh TRANSMISSION, which assigns its meaning in
such phrases as Young America Young
England &c. This Ia not only political but
religious, aesthetic For instance, there ia, as we
all know, Young Germany" in the State,
in the Church, and in the most radical theoso-
phics, we have still other divisions, " Old He
gelians,v New Hcgclians,n and so on. And
then, in music, there is the old school Of Mo-
Fart, Haydn, Bach, lsomc even add Mendel-
sohn y and the new school Of Wagner, Sohu-
mann, &C., recently christencd at Leipsic most
contcmptuously, as Young Germany Now,
it would be wonderful, wouldn't It, IL there
should be no Young Virginia % Just as won
derful as If we should find a man on whom
the laws Of gravity did not act. lf we should
find a man rising from the ground at any
breath, we should say no was feather, not
weighty; and should be sorry IL because
law as universal az gravity would not act ON
Virginia, wo should conclude analogically, that
they were oil men and women altogether
feathery!
Not so fast sir One who was born and
bred in the Old Mother State now wishes to
affirm that there is Young Virginia. IL is
rs yet an infant perhaps--if infant follows it's
original meaning-infor not to speak. Ger
tainly it has no organ of speech yet; but 1t is
cunning and keeps up q vast thinking
What means the late proposition in Virginia
to limit jurors, in cases whore negro freedom
10 involved, to those who have no Conscientious
opposition to slavoholding, il there is not with
us an unsophisticated Young Virginia, which
has not yet learned its lesson? lBy the way
we would commend to the care OF certain
Senator who has so zcalously undertaken the
protection not only Of the United States Tori
tories, but tie Sabbath, these youngsters, who
need q Sabbath school TO teach them that u IL
unlawful Ito do right on the Sabbsth day. y

ANTLNEBRAsKA MEETING AT WEST MERIDEN.
CONNECTICUT


A large number Of citizens comprising men
Of all political parties assembled ON Tuesday
evening February 2Sth for the purpose Of ex-
pressing their sentiments upon the Nebraska
BILL Hon. Walter Booth was unanimously
elected Chairman of the meeting, and John
Ives and H. d. Hotchkiss, Secretaries
Rev. Geo. w. Perkins then addressed the
meeting in an earnest and animated STYLE on
the gigantic scheme Of iniquity embodied in
the Nebraska BILL and for the consideration Of
which this assemblage Of citizens had been
called together.
DR.. Bacon spoke with the stern and defiant
spirit Of a gallant freeman resisting the damn
ing aggressions Of tyranny
A preamble and resolutions were adopted,
affirming that the citizens Of the town Of Meri-
den, assembled by invitation of a large and re-
spectacle number of the electors of said town,
without distinction of party, do resolve, that
we consider any attempt to repeal, "render
imperative and void, or in any way to weak
en- or abate the full force and virtue of the
said 9Th section, to be violation of the COM
pact, and will nuke void any and all other com
promises, coneeraing Slavery, that have had the
approval of Congress, and the sanction or ac-
quiescence of q confdng people that we con-
slider the present effort to render imperative
and void the said 9Th section of said act, to be
a violation of the faith of the nation; that we
consider it the duty of every freeman to oppose
in oil constitutional ways the extension Of Sla-
very in Territories now free and we believe
such to be the sentiment Of the people of this
State, and that any and all acts Of their dele
CATION in either branch of Congress, in VIOLA
ton of this sentiment, will meet with their po-
litical disapprobation.

And if there is not Young Virginia. who
are all those who as 1t turns up at Mrs Doug
lass trial, are in the constant habit Ut teach
ing their slaves on faith in Higher Law
Nay, more: there is nothing more certain than
that Young Virginia often teaches domestics
under protection Of the law that mil forbid
coiored testimony against The whites.
Settle in your mind, friend, that an arrow
pointed against the wind comes back with an
unpleasant message? Young Virginia is for
hidden to speak, but just after that comes
thick wall, behind which no power can bear,
and where pent-up thought rises higher, and
threatens something other than speech Old
Virginia has not it's fine wits in such good
preservation as the old Quaker who said to
man swearing" That's right, friend thou
hadst best spit ont those vile things, il they
are 10 thee" Old Virginia had better encour-
age Young Virginia to speak its mind frankly,
and then know the worst Of it; as it is, there
will perhaps be some amazement when it does
come out.
II is a good thing that results are otherside
of human arbitration. As certain physical
laws and forces engender certain results--as
sunlight, moisture, air, earth, bring forth
flower or thistle--s0 certain human laws and
Divine, working in conflict or unison, produce
certain results. Hence, as vegetation becomes
representative of the soil, climate, &C., where
it grows, historic incidents and accidents dis
close spiritual conditions, and are representative
Thus the thirty years war, the massacre Of
Bartholomew, Irish rebellion, rendition Of
Simms, rescue Of Shadrach, all become incl
dents in which, as we look back, we see the
working Of certain forces in nature and Judge
Of their relative growth in the ages. Who can
doubt that some historian Of A. D. 5000, will
say Of 1854, "About this period, lady Of So
cial position and influence in her community
was seized, fined, and dragged to prison, in the
State where American civilization had most
chance to develop itself for teaching littie
children TO READ, giatiSi And the social con-
dition Of tho entire country at this time may
be discovered in the fact, that Senator actu-
ally proposed to fill up tho Oldest entrench-
ments around Slavery SO that it might COM
fortably stretch its luxurious self out over two
thirds Of the whole Landlord aoas not Kissed
from the floor ~
Mr.. Editor, wish to give an occasional OBJ
servation on sundry things not ut all confin-
ing myself to politics. but making notes on
the phenomena of all kinds, in the faith that
nothing can happen without its meaning in
this earth, whereof every atom hath its use
and place.
There is no great and no small
TO tho soul that mnketh all
And where it cometh, all things are,
And it cometh everywhere.
