SNIvELfZATIoN.-W Whitbersoever we 20 we
meet with the snive!er. He stops us at the
corner of tine street to entrust us with his
opinion. lie fears that the morals and in
teligence Of the people are destroyed by the
election Of some rogue to office. lie tells us,
just before church. that the last sermon Of
Fsome transcendental preacher has gwen the
dcatir-biow to religion, and that the waves
oi atheism and the clouds Of pantheism are
20 Garkcu all The land. In time OF general
noa.tn, he speaks of the pcstiIence that is to
be. The mail cannot be an hour too late,
| but he prattes Of railroad accidents and
steamboat disasters. He fears that a friend
who was married Yesterday, will be bank
ruTt in year, and siupcrs over the trials
which lie vii. then endure. he is ridden
with an eternal night mare, and emits an
lterua, wal. Recklessness is a bad quality,
and 20 is blind and extravagant hope; but
neither is 80 degrading or inglorious as in
active despair.
We object 20 the snive'er, because he pre-.
sents the anomaly ola being who has tho
power Of motion without possessing life
His insippii languor is worse than tumid
strength. Better that 4 man should rant
than whiae. The person who has no boun.
ding aud LuoYaut feeling in him, whose
check never hushes at anticipated good.
whose blood never tinglcs and Gres at the
contemplation Of a noble aim, who has no
aspiration and no great object in life, is on
ly fit FOR the hospital or the handbox. En-
terprise, confidence, a disposition to believe
tina, good can be done, al iudisposit on TO
believe that all good has bCen-those con-
stitute important elements in the character
Of every man who il Of use to the world
We want no wailng and whimPering about
the abs,nce ofhappincsS, but strong de.
termination to aJate misery WhippLe.

REUrrs LOVE Mss MORE THAN WOMEN
4 writer in the atlantic Monthly puts it
thus:
Kate, the other day, was asserting a wife's
right to control her own property, and Incl
dentally advocating the equality of the sexes
"A touchy point with her-l put in:
Tell me then, Kate. why animals form
stronger attachments to men than women.
Your dog, your parrot, and even your cat,
already prefer me to you. How can you
account for it, unless you allow there is
more in us to respect and love-"
81 account for it" said she, with most
decided nod, "by affinity. There is more
affinity between you and the beasts"

BEGGISG TAUGHT IN SIX Lessons" The
French wits are amusing themselves with an
advertisement which appears regularly Of
late in the London papers, with the above
caption Under so startling head, it ap-
pears. Professor LaZare Roonay announces
his devotion to this branch of Science, or
rather the founding by him of small uni
verSi,y for the teaching of all its honest
branches. He prefaces the advertisement
with an IN. B." viz: That "any person OF
good morals, studious habits, and ordinary
intelligence, can. in six lessons, put himself
in a situation to live comfortably without
having recourse to political ranks" He
adds: "Large aSsortments Of certificates to
loan :'-"very young children received to
be gradually reduced to any desirable ap-
p.arance of deformity -" dogs for the
blind :"-'a perfect immiiation of wounds y
-"al the various accessories Of aims asking

despatch on receipt of the prices" Beggar,
seems thus in fair way to be numbered

a Kentucky CORES 2onlent is responsible
for the following excellent story, true to the
life:
When Henry Clay was 4 young and
brilliant member OF the Legislature of Ken
tucky, one of the old Buck,kins heard him
quote Common Law of England as decisive
in the case then under discussion. The old
fellow was astonshed, and, Jumping up, be
gan:
"Mr. Speaker, want to know, sir, ef
what that gentleman said is true! Are we
all livin' under old English law p
The Speaker informed the anxious ipqui-
rer that the Common Law was recognized
as a part of the law of the land.
"Well, sir, resumed Buckskin, when
remember that our fathers. and some Of us,
fit, bled, and died to be free from English
law, | don't want to be under any on it any
longer. And make motion that it be re-
pealed right away
The motion was seconded. The Kentucky
| blood was up. The Buckskins fired of
speech after speech, and Mr. Clay had as
much as he could do 10 explain the matter
! and save the Legislature Of Kentucky from
repeating the Common Law of England.

Why THERE ARE MORE PIoUs WoMDS THAN
MEH.-Ihe reason there are more pous wo-
men than men is not because women are
weaker or their passions less powerful, but
because feeling Of dependence is native in
the female heart. 1t is because the pride
OF independence has little or no place there.
1t IS because the female mind has to undergo
comparatively a small revolution TO become
religious. One powerful barrier that stands
before the path al every man in his approach
to the valley Of hum .iation does not oppose
the passage OF tue woman. 1t is very
rare that those who are dcnominated strong
minded women" become religious The
pride Of personal independence prevents
this.
50 sweet and so natural q thing is piety
among women that men have come to regard
a woman without it as strange If not un-
healthy. and goddess men often select piCus
wives, because they see that piety softens
and deepcns and cevates every natural grace
Of 4 person, and every accomplishment of
mind.
