National Prosperity.

What is tie true basis Of national pros
psriiy? II cannot be in The number OF the
people. for the most populous cations are
not the most prosperous ones; and mere
numbers irrespective Of character is no
proof Of success.
The erester the multitude the greater
the danger. II they are ignorant and degra.
ded. A AMacedonian phalanx coull over
turn five times its number OF the disci-
plined soldiers Of Asia. and what discipline
isto an army. integrity is to people. The
very vastness OF numbers. If connected with
individual virtue, is an element of weak
ness.
Neither is wealth basis Of national pros
periiy. Rome was far more thrifty in the
days of her indigence than in her LUXURY.
Riches controlled bYrec titude are
an element Of success uncontrolled thsy
lead TO debauchery and destruction. So
that here again we have 20 look to indi-
vidual character as the only sure basis.
Neither does national prosperity consist
in intelligence and refinement, for tbese
are merely powers, and cannot be relied
on only as they are controlled by virtuoua
principles.
A msn oI intelligence and aesthetic cul-
ture, ii he be corrupt at least, is a most
dangerous member Of community. His
trained intellect and polished manners give
him power to accomplish evil designs
The life Of Aaron Burr is an ilustra ion o
this.
II is in vain then, lhat we depand fol
our national strength upon the increasing
millions Of cur people. In vain that W.
sum up the products Of our commerce apC
our mines, and our golden harvests. Il
vain that we pride ourselves on cur refine
ment and learning. All ofthese are use
less. if orr people have not integrity; tina
uprightness OF character which comes from
a knowledge OF our relation to God anC
our fellow men.
The Puritan was right then. in erecting
first the temple Of worship He was righ
enforcing the observance Of the Sabbath
He was right in teaching 10 his childrer
the obligation OF the moral law.
And We as people shall !ay broad ant
deep the basis Of our prosperity just il
proposition as we follow in these things tn
Puritan exampls.

EvEN1NG.--There are two periods in the
life of man IN which the evening hour is
peculiarly interestng--in youth and in old
age. In youth we love it for its mellow
moonlight, its millions of stars, its Thin,
rich shooting shades, its. still serenity; amid
those who can commune with our loves, or
twine the wreath offriendship. while there
is none to bear US witness but the heavens
and the spirits that hold their endless Sab
bath theie--or look into the deep bosom
OF creation, spread abroad like canopy
above us, and look and listen till we can
almost Sc ; and hear the waving wings and
melting songs Of the other wcrld.
To youth. evening is delightful; it ac-
cords with the flow OF his light spirits, the
fervor OF his fancy, aud the softuess Of his
heart. Evening is, also. the delight Of vir.
tuous age; il seems an emblem to the tran
quil close Of busy life--serene. placed mild
the impress of its great Creator stamped
upon it; it spreads its quiet wings under ihs
grave. and seems to promise that all shall
be peace beyond it. fisrss

KEEP1SG PROMISES WITH CHrLDREN.-A
gentleman of nervous temperament once
called on DR.. Dwight, President of Yale
College. One of the Doctors boys was
rather bois,erous. and pestered the nervous
gentleman somewhat, whereupon he said
to him. "My boy, if you will keep still
while 1 am talking to your father, | will
give you dollar" Instantly the boy hush
ed down gentle as sleeping lamb. At
the close of the gentlemap's remarks he at
tempted to leave without giving the boy a
dollar; but DR.. Dwight was TO fast for him.
He put dollar in the mans hands, say
ing. "You promised my boy "a dollar for
good behavior. Give him that, as you
promised. II, sir, we lie, our childlen will

The Lane Trial,

The evidence in the Lane trial is com
ing out. though we presume, the case has
been decided The Chicago Press and
Tribune of Monday, publishes the eleventh
days testimony. from wbi ,h we exract
the following item:
Ray Green. recalled have said that
ifmy pistol had gone off the second time
Lane would not lave got into the Eouse;
l have told Nicholas, OF Topeka. that /
would shoot with Gan. Lane at three feet,
or any soa OF a gun who would take it
up.
A voice-':rll take it up"
Gen. Lane-"When You get ready te
assassinate me, Green, just send me
word"
Witness-"I never assassinats any
man."
The Court here checked this flourish o.
bravado.
Witness resuued--The first time l pul
led the trigger the pistol went off; th'
second time a. cap snapped. merely.
The Court here said that when the pis
tol came to its custody. the drst cap haC
been exploded, and the second barrel was
empty. having thus been discharged. thus
proving that the witness had sworn falsely
This was somewhat unwelcome to the
prosecution.
Two men were called who were within
one-fourth Of mile at the time of the 6Ie
ing and who heard other reports bfole th'
heavy gun.
This discrediting of Green the chic
witness for the prosecution, is thing we
had not heard of before. II this testimony
is reliable Lane has done nothing that any
man of ordinary feeling would do In

fact ever occur to you that the little time
piece encased within you. must sooner or
later cease its ticking? that the delicate
springs which keep their regular flow of
blood will at some time be rudely snapped
assunder? that at some dreadful moment

The little time piece all the day
Ticketh, ticketh, constantly;
At weary work, or pleasant play,
Unnoticed, still it ticks away
Ticking, ticking silently.

Through the morning, noon ard night
And a record there is keeping
OF the moments swiftly heeting,
Fastening ever from our sight,
