Why is this one or that one a criminal? Do |
say that the guilt should he imputed to the condi-

but | do say that, in nine cases out of ten, crime
is no proof of special depravity apart from gener-
al deprayity, and that the circumstances have just

those same circumstances, in nine cases out of ten
we should DC criminals too. In the sam circum-

THE MANS HOUSE AND THE MAN
HIMSELF.

If We were speaking Of houses, as illustrating
the character Ut those who live in them, to whom
should we compare the doleful old editce on the
bleak hillside yonder? 1t stands bare and lone,
without a tree to shelter it from the cutting
blasts of winter, or the beating summer sun.
There is no beauty around it, to show that any
hand of taste has ever been there every thing is
dilapidateC. From barely one forlorn chimney, IA
thin, consumptiye looking smoke sneaks out,
ashamed to face the day. Within things are still
more desolate and woebegone. The windows are
broken, the sash is rafting; the floors are uncar-
peted and dusty the hearths are cold the doors
clap and bang through the livelong dreary night
the roof leaks into every room.
Whose inner man is it like? Who but that Of
the miserable old bachelor who lives in it, whose
cherries bosom never WINS a warm impulse, and
through whose heart chambers every bitter blast
Of discomfort goes bowling, with nothing to repel
it, On his bosom-hearth no warm FIRE is glowing,
to cheer and attract. His heart is utterly untcn-
anted, save that in one corner, drawn together and
shiyering, squats querulous sel6shness, blowing
his fingers. The owner Of this heart goes. about
among his fellow men like a moving icicle, button
ed awkardly up, and doing some uncomfortable
business, or stands disconsolately on corners, look
ing like the genius of the east wind or is seen in
drug stores, buying a poison for ra.s.
But 10 the hill, house begins to improve. The
windows are whole, the doors tight, the roof new,
the shutters fastened. The whole domicile smiles
soberly in dore-eOlored paint. A hospitable smoke
pours out from every chimney. The grounds be
come cheerful. Trees planted, promise abundant
shelter from scorching suns and bowling winds
All tells of comfort and happiness. The dweller

~thawed--and has become like INTO a human crea

TIE MORALITIES OF TRADE.

We see it annoced in our exchanges that a store
is to be opened in Boston, with n capital of $780,
600, as agency for the sale of of flour at Western
prices, with the addition of the cost Of transporta-
ton and incidental expenses. This movement has
grown out of the extortion practiced by the ira
ders or middlemen. They stand between the far
mer and consumer, reducing the profits of the for
mer, increasing the expenses of the latter, and
monopolizing inordinate gains. BY establ shing
agencies like that Just mentioned, the consumer
and producer are again brought close together. ex-
changes are effected at legitimate rates, and the
immoralities Of trade are at least circumscribed.
But, how is the widespread evil of adulteration
to be remcdicd There is scarcely n necessary of
life that reaches us in a pure state. The art OF Of
lectlng changes in articles of consumption, so as
to enhance tho gains of the trader, has grown into
an institution among the middle-men. Everything
is adulterated that can be, without the least re-
gard to- the right or wrong of the matter. An en-
terprlsing, but conscientious friend, IN q recent
letter to us, remarked that, having got in order
der some mills for grinding spices, &C., he was led
to look INTO the manner of conducting the business

grossest fraud. Indian meal forms the basis of

AUTUMN THOUGHTS.
BY FRANCIS BENNOCH.

The leaves are fallingl let them fall
IT'S Heavens supreme decree that all
That live must die;
A little while their glory shonc,
A little more and they are gone
In death they lie.
Had we no death, what then were birth
A cumberer of this pleasant earth,
Where all is 4 fair:
Through death alone is found the room
For budding hope, for mental bloom,
And manhood rare.
Deny us death-destroy the chance
OF soul mature, the proud advance
OF intellect;
Controlling, conquering every plan
That mars the onward march Of man
To high respect.
Where men, like granite columns, stand
Obstructive of the good and grand
o welcome death
boast they change not! while they speak,
Their hearts are strayed; their power how weak
How false their faith?
The bar once broken, soon the tide
OF new opinion, deep and wide,
Resistless flows
AS age must yield to eager youth,
So falsehood flies before the trlth,
And wisdom grows.
Man. proud Of life! while living, heed
The myriad lives that die to feed
Thy mortal part
And when tn immortal soul takes wing,
Those myriad forms again will spring
From brain and heart.
The life which earth and air bestows
Builds up the fabric and the rose
Then, earth to earth!
The flower, matured, gives up its seed;
The leaves misunderstanding, feed
A second birth.
The husk of flesh. the shell of clay,
Must to the impartial soul give way,
And let it fly
Emancipated chrysalis-
From coils of pain to boundless bliss
To never die.
What we call death, is only change
Of life, permitting souls to range
Unfettered, free,
Through all the regions God hath made,
In glorious sun or sombre shade,
Eternally.
Thou, body, brace thyself for strife!
Thou soul prepare thyself for life!
And whatsoe'cr
Thy noblest nature feels is right,
For it, unblenching, boldly fight,
For God is there.

The Eall of Rose, who has recently completed
the largest telescope ever made, alluded, at a late
meeting in London, to its effects. lie said that,
with respect to the moon, every object on its sur
face of 100 feet in height was now distinctly to be
seen; and he had no doubt that, under very favor
able circumstances, it would be so with objects GO
feet in height. On its surface were craters Of ex-
tinct volcanoes, rocks and masses of stones almost
innumerablc. lie had no doubt that if such a
building as he was then in were upon the surface
of the moon, it would be rendered distinctly yisi-
bic by these instruments. But there were no
sigus of habitations such as curs-no vestage of
architecture remain to show that the moon is or
ever was inhabited by a race Of morta.s similar
to ourselves. 1t presented no appearance which
could lead to the supposition that it contained any
thing like green fields and lovely ,erdure of this
beautiful word Of ours. There was no water Wis
ible-not a sea or a river, or even the measure of
IA reservoir for supplying town or factory-all
seemed desolatc.
This confirms the coEiectures of the author of
