No Fixtures In Nature,

There are no fixtures in nature. The uni
verse is fluid and volatile. Permanence is but
q word Of degrees. Our globe seen by God is
transparent law, not mass of facts. The
law dissolves the fact and holds it fluid. Our
culture is the predominance of an idea which
draws after it this train of cities and institu-
tons Let us rise into another idea they will
disappear. The Greek sculpture is all melted
away, as if it had been statues of ice; here and
there solitary figure or fragment remaining,
. we see fecks and scraps Of snow left in cold
dells and mountain clefts, in June and JULY
For the genius that created it creates now
somewhat else The Greek letters last little
longer, but are already passing under the same
sentence, and tumbling into the inevitable pit
which the creation of new thought opens for
oil that is old: The new continents are built
out Of the ruins of an old planet; the new races
red out of the decomposition Of the foregoing.
New arts destroy the old. See the investment
o. capital in aqueducts made useless by hy-
draulics, Notifications, by gunpowder; roads
ana 81 canals, by railways; sails, by steam |;
steam by electricity.

Purity OF Elections.

A friend in Ohio, says the Knickerbocker,
Rnds us the following amusing occurrence
(which actually took place as described,) as il
iI1strating novel method of Preserving the
Purity Of Elections !"
=, IN the northwest portion Of the State Of
ohlo, in the country Of Auglaize, there is q
township, the citizens of which are principally
German, and notwithstanding their sweet ac-
cent they are all Democrats of the regular
'unterri6ed stripe. From the time Of the
erection of the country up to the year eighteen
hundred and ffty-two, there was never Wing
vote v, cast in the township spoken Of, although
mere We're over six-hundred voters but at
tne "a fall election Of that year, upon counting
the t1t, ballots, it appeared that there was one
wing among them. There was the proof, a
regular a1l straight-out Wing ticket, and they
could not pass it by. This caused great COM
motion their escutcheon was dimmed; there
was Wing among them; that blot must be
wiped out, and with their courage Dutch OF
eoursel up to fever heat in the shade they went
70 work slyly to find the man who had dared

Always Tying your Shoe.

"A Massachusetts paper relates an anecdote
of once wealthy and always good natured
gentleman who lost his fortune, and almost his
temper, at the gambling table. On one occa-
sion, when pretty nearly out of pocket, he
staked his last and lost. This was too much,
and plunging his hands into his pockets he
passed out Of the room. On the door step there

friend in going out came to stand still before

stranger, with theremark-" Blast you-you're

War.

The following remarks by Voltairc will ap-
ply very well to the present war in the Crimea
A hundred thousand mad animals, whose
heads are covered with hats, advance to kill or
be killed by a like number Of their fellow NOR
tails covered with turbans. By this strange
procedure, they want to know whether tract
Of land, to which none of them has any claim,
shall belong to certain man whom they call
Sultan, or to another whom they call Gar,
neither of whom ever saw or ever will see the
spot so furiously contended for, and very few
Of those creatures who thus mutually butcher
each other beheld the animal for whom they
cut each others throats! From time immemo-
rial this has been the way Of mankind almost
all over the earth. What an excess of madness
this is and how deservedly might the Supreme
Being crush to atoms. this earthly ball, the
