sg~An English paper says: "The
excess in drink Of our working classes
is great. According to the estimate Of
Lord SALISBURY, it is represented BY
the figure Of 100000 [about three
hundred and twenty-five millions Of dol
lars j per annum, inclusive Of pipes as
well as beer" The writer proposes the
establishment of Penny Savings Banks
in every locality, Or in connection with
every post-of6ce, and argues that if the
poor could have such an opportunity to
save money, they would embrace it in
stead of buying the means of drunken

1t may not be generally known that the

old Campbell, of the AID Highlanders,

pels it to maintain an ignoble silence

smother entirely the expression of ones
predictions. On the arrival of agree

from display of big type, from telling
Chapman to crow, from tossing up ones
hat and boring ones readers with long
editorials But such self-sacri6ce does

monstrative contemporaries are fercely
warning with one another, growing
over the bone of a principle from which
all the flesh has long since been eaten,
and fomenting enmities and all manner
of uncomfortable bitternesses, your on

offering up no friendships on the altar

all mankind. Sometimes, to be sure,
an unwelcome thought will obtrude it.

tanned at the expense of ones mental
integrity, that such reticence is not
strictly honest, and if long persevered
in, may enervate the soul, robbing it
even of its private fearlessness AZ
such moments there is no reinsurance
except in the reflection that political
wrangling is apt to result in worse
things, that the straight path of neutral
ity is nobler than the devious one Of
partnership, and that outward indiffer-

VIRTUE ITS OWN REWARD.

VIRTUE ITS OWN REWARD.
Its real misfortune to mankind that
they are not sdussted in the love and
practice Of virtue for its own sake,
without promise Of reward or threat Of
punishment. 1t may do for certain
class who believe in their own moral su-
periority, to declare that the majority Of
their ellow-beings can be kept from ut
ter depravity only by threats and promises
by the strong compulsions of rewards
and penalties; but there is daily in
creasing GLASS Of more humble thinkers,
who proclaim the radical likeness of all
men, and for whom this easy excuse for
mental tyranny will not do. These con-
tend that virtue is intrinsically lovely,
and that if men were taught to believe
so their lives would be better than they
ever can be under other teaching. The
loftier the motive which actuates man
the purer his actions are certain to be.
If all were convinced as the best are,
that lie carried it's own defilement, than
which no prospective and outward con-
sequences dependent upon human law
could be severer punishment, what use
were oaths? It is the fault of educa-
ton, not of nature, that our motives to
upright conduct are debased, that in
tegrity depends upon artificial checks
instead Of springing spontaneously from
the impulses of free souls.
We are taught from earliest childhood
the false doctrine that vice is more at
tractive and easy than virtue; what
wonder if we are confirmed violators of
all natural ordinances, hardened stifers
Of all genial promptings, ere experience
comes to undeceive us? Virtue will
never hold its proper place in human
regard until it is inculcated irrespective
Of and above theological creeds which
are based upon theory of rewards and
punishments,- it challenges re-
cognition as the first great need, and is
liberated from its present subordination
to arbitrary dogmas. Virtue does not
reward selfish worshipers; such are but
mock votaries of hers; she must be
served for her own sweet sake. Well
has Pitt said: "The single opinion in
religion, that all things are SO well made
by the Deity that virtne as its own re-
arard, and that happiness will ever arise
from acting according to the reason of
things, or that God, ever wise and good,
will provide some extraordinary happi-
ness for those who suffer for virtues
sake, is enough to supporta man under
all difficulties, and to keep him steady to
his duty, and to enable him to stand as
firm as rock amidst all the charms of
applause, profit and honor"

A HINT TO TUNNELERS.

| ~ l1lN III u LlEnC.
A late number of the Scientific Am
ericam gives an interesting account of a
tunnel several miles in length, now be-
ing constructed on the Piedmont Rail
road. It passes through portion of
the Alps between Modane and Bardon-
eche, some 5000 feet below the summit.
AS the tunnel could not be ventilated
by known methods, some engineers took
advantage of the existence, near the
commencement of operations, of a large
stream of water on fall of sixty five
feet.
This they applied to operate hy-
draulic motor, which condenses air in a
reservoir to the pressure Of 80 pounds
on the square inch this is conducted in
an extension tube into the tunnel where
it first operates machinery which drives
the drills, then it escapes and supplies
the miners with fresh air, thus perfor-
ming two duties, namely, drilling and
ventilating. BY this machinery eight
cen holes are bored in the same space re-
quired for six miners in drilling, and
each hole is bored in one-twelfth of the
time taken up by hand labor. By this
means it is calculated that this sub-Alp-
inc tunnel will be completed in six years,
whereas by old methods it would not be
done in less than thirty-six.
The Scientific american thinks the
use of condensed air as a motive and
ventilating power should not only arrest
the attention Of engineers, but of miners
in the mountains of California. There
is no doubt such motor might be ad-
vantageously employed in the running of
long tunnels in this country at such To-
calities as afford the needed quantity and
fall of water; but in the majority of
instances where tunnels are run, the
present process, though susceptible of
some improvements, is the only one that
can be economically used Small con
densing apparatus might be constructed
simply for the purpose of ventilation,
and some more efficient means than those
now in use to that end are certainly re-
quired. The hardy men who run our
mining tunnels very often work in an at
mosphere which will barely support
the flame of candle, and imagine no
harm results to them; but it is surely,
though slowly, telling on their constitu-
tions, and will leave prematurely old
those whom it does not send to an early
grave. Every year increases the num-
Der who are employed at this dangerous
subterranean labor. Ultimately the en-
tire mining of the State must be done
underground. Meanwhile some plan
should be adopted that will keep tun-
nels invariably well ventilated. We do
not pretend to any knowledge in these
matters, beyond the fact which is patent
to all, that some better system of ventil-
alton than commonly employed is actu-
ally needed.

RETURNING TO ITS WALLow.-The

RETURNING TO ITS WALLOw.-The
most astounding religious movement of
late is the attempt to introduce a form
of confession into the English Church.
Curious indeed it is, at this day, to see
Protestant England returning to the
most hateful feature Of Catholicism, and
that, too, which was stoutly opposed by
the first reformers. The attempt is due
to Puseyism, which endeavors to make
the Episcopal Church in fact what it
has often been asserted to be-a modi-
fed form Of Papacy. 1t appears that
confession and absolution have for some
time been secretly practiced by many
members and clergy of the English
Church, and were publicly applauded
and encouraged by high ecclesiastical
dignitaries- The discovery Of the fact
has naturally created an intense excite
ment. Public meetings have been held
in several places, and the discussion of
the subject has been vigorously COM
menced in the newspapers. We think
English iberalists, and the anti-State-
Church party which has been largely on
the increase these few years past, have
reason to rejoice at this bold movement
of the Puseyites. It will give wonder
full force to their arguments, and attract
to their side large accessions from the
body of the State-Church party itself.
There is no danger that Catholicism,
or anything nearly like it, can ever -four
ish as a popular institution, to the
detriment Of human rights, either in
England OF America; but this thing
will be construed into proof to the con-
trary, and we are glad it has sprung up
to aid those great minds who have so
long been struggling to free England of
what is now nearly the last remnant of
religious tyranny-the establishment of
a State Church and the enforcement of
tithes for its support from all classes of
citizens. 1t is an old saying, but a good
one, that whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad.
