Tremendous Movements. "

We are people of tremendous movements
Whether the date be the lst of May, or the last Of
February we are always "on the move" We can
no more do without excitemenfs, than without
crackers on the 4th of July. Novelty is our at
mosphere. wherein We must either live OF have no
life. OF late years we have been quite familiar
with the tremendous movements. We had one-s
musical earthquake, when Jenny Lind came. We
had anOther-a patriotic tornadO--on KOSsuth's
arrival We had third-a religious row--when
the "Angel Gabriel" blew his trumpet; and a fourth
wheu-but the less said about recent outbursis the
better. The fact is, we are people whose appar-
ent instability and fckleness underlaid by two
fundamental ideas; our inevitable progress and the
propriety of "hasening slowly" (sstinans lnte) to
our expected goal. 1t is only the surface of the
stream which frets and bubbles the under current
sets steadily and quietly to the contemplated point
The Mississippi of popular opinion sweIs and
heayes under the mOmentsry tempest, but it reach
es the Gulf at last and does not forget Cuba in its
course. Our visitors from the other side Of the
Atlantic might find an instructive truth in this
paragraph, if 'pondered 6ttingly." The United
States may do wrong for year or two, but they
must do right in the long run such is their desti-

The West.

The West may now be regarded as the great
battlefield of the World-the place where, proba-
bly,, more than anywhere else the destinies of the
world are to be decided. The struggle which is
going on there for the mastery is to be more i'm
portant in its issue than that of any battle ever
fought in the plain of EsdrRou-more important
than the result of the strife at Marathan, at Can
me- at Bunker Hill, at Waterloo More individ-
uals are now and are to be engaged in the struggle
more interests are at stake; more powerful minds
will be engaged; more talent viii be developed;
and more momentous results will follow The eye
of the world is, and should be, fixed with a more
intense interest on that struggle, than any which
has occurred on the earth, for the ultimate issue
will be more far-reaching and mighty. If this ma
ton is to be free the population of that valley is
to preserve and perpetuate our freedom; if it is
to ensaved the chains that are to fetter US are to
be forged beyond the mountains When Fisher
Ames wished to raise the note of alarm at what
he deemed a measure of most dangerous policy, be
said that if be had the power, he would lift his
voice so that it would reach every log house be-
yond the mountains. He who now seeks to rouse
MS Couutry " seuse vi he udusei, WuSt seek, So
to speak, that his voice may be heard in all the
cities, towns and villages of the East-in those
places Wnere the battles for freedom have been
fought, and where there is still power to send out
an influence that shall determine the scale of vic
tory in the great conflicts of the West The strug-
gle there is for the rule. 1t is for the rule 1t is
to determine what shall be the governing mind of
that vast land. Shall it be barbarism Shall it
be infdelity? Shall it be the Roman Catholic
system? Shall it be the evangelical religion -

SO large; never was the prospective crown of VIC
tory so dazzling- Rev. Albert Barnes

A rich Joke.

A gentleman played off a rich joke on his bet
ter half the other day. Being something of eI l.
cure, he took it into his head that he should like 10
have first rate dinner. So he addressed her a
note politely informing her that ~ gentleman OF
her acquaintance-an old and true friend, would
dine with her that day." As soon as she received

ed to receive her guest The house wss as clean
as a new pin-a sumptuous dinner was on the table,
and she was arrayed in her best attire. A knock
was heard, and she started with papitating heart
to the door, She thought it mist be an old friend
perhaps brother from sbe place whence they
once moved. On opening the door she saw her
husband with a smiling contenance.

SMALL ENE,nEs-A FABLE.-A gnat one day
asked lion whether they ought to be friends or
enemies.
Get away, silly insect" said be with contempt.
"lest crush thee with my foot; what hurt or good
could you do me?

he iiew into one Of the lions nostrs, and went to
singing him as hard as he could The royal beast
roared like thunder, lashed his sides with his tail,
tore bis nOstris with his talOns, and rolled him
self in the sand in agony bat all in vain the little
gnat kept on stinging till the mighty lion was
obliged to own himself overcome By the guat, which
he had but just now despised-
1t is sometimes justly said, that no person is 50
small or mean, but that he has It in his power to
inure US or do good and that hence there IS no
person whose friendship is not highly desirable.

Is RELIGION BeaNtiflI?

Always I'm the child, the maiden, the wife, the
mother, religion shines with holy, benignant beau,
ty. Never yet was female character perfect with
out the steady faith of piety. Beauty, intellect
wealth, are comparatively dark in the brightest
day. unless the divine light, unless religion throw
her soft beams around them to purify and exalt,
making twice glorious that which seemed all love
illness before.
Religion is very beautiful-in health or sickness,
wealth or poverty. We can never enter the sick
chamber of the good, but soft music seems to float
on the air, and the burden of the song is Lo peace
is here
In PET.-SOme men are always in trouble
Do what they will-turn this way and that, and
everything is wrong.
1t is nothing but murmuring with them from
daylight till dark At their homes, their places
of business and in the street. they are in pet, and
are eternally making wry faces.
Rather than pass an easy day,
They fret and chide the hours away,
Grow weary of the circng sun,
And vex that he should ever run
The same old track; and still and still
Sink red behind yon western hill.
And chide the moon that darts her light
Through the same easement every night"
The above, written century and half ago, is
as true as when it was penned by Isaac Watts
In our day we have just such complaining charac-
ters Nothing pleaSes them-nothing below the
sun The pleasures OF life they never taste. All
is wo-mUo ID and gall They see no beauty to
appreciate no scenery to enjoy. IT'S fret aud jaw
