RUSSIA AND HER ENEMIES.

The New York Mirror, in discussing the
aspect of European affairs says:
-sThe chances of Russia look desperate,
but far better would it be ultimately for lib
erty and civilization that her boundaries were
unbroken, than that the enlightened despot-
ism of the old throne-propping allies should
prevail. Such is our judgment. Russia
would be more toerablc master Of Europe,
than France, England, and Austria,
"But one thing must be confessed there
is no rude power of numbers, of stone walls,
that can stand before the modern science Of
war as practiced by France aud England -
The myriad armies of the old Persians, Car
thagenans. Greeks, aud Romans, with their
elephants and scythe armed ebariots. could
not have resisted for an hour such force
as the allied generals commanded"

their assistance to his elevation, viii prove
equally unmindful Of. the services Of others,
when occasion may suit or self-interest die
tate. And yet it is difficult to understand
all this. 1t is perplexing to an honest and
ingenious mind, to comprehend Why old
friends should be deserted, wbF1gly obj
cations should be repudiated, why kindness
extended in the hour Of need should be over
looked and forgotten. The nausxf Impulse
of generous heart is to dictatepolicJ ex-
aetly the reverse. It prompts not only to
acknowledgement, but to reciprocity at ev-
cry possible opportunity. 1t is constantly
anxious to repay, not only uponeven terms,
bat twice over. 1t feels restless and unea-
sy only when, having the disposition, it lacks
the power. And if it cannot reciprocate
by deeds it does so in spirit and by words.
1t cherishes the kindness in the very depths
of the soul, and cntertsias towards its Dene-
factor sentiments of the noblest, the warm
est, the ulUSb duSNllOudeO hoouiS bAe "AS-A
the uDgrateful, the unappreciating, the IRON
hearted, the selfish and the false, it is 9TH
erwise Alas that human nature should be
darkened and defaced by such baseness and
treachery. A sense of obligation Expresses
and annoys, old friends are avoided and neg
lected, and instead Of paying former fayors
back in kind words, Misrepresentation is Of
ten called to the assistance of the evil mind
ed, and wrongs are absolutely inflicted, where
acknowledgement and reciprocity are due.
All this is lamentable, and yet it has its con-
sequences. 1t is, we repeat, rare thing
for the ungrateful man to prosper perma-
nently. He may have his hour or his day,
and they will pass away, but not his infamy.
Retribution will come sooner or later, and
when in his downfall, be shall turn to his
former career with sorrow and shame, there
will be few to pity OF to sympathise, for few
will have faith in on c who betrayed, decelv-
ed and neglected his early friends .-Phila
