Macaulay on Romanism.

But during the three last centuries to
stunt the growth Of the human mind has
been the chief object of Romanism.--
Throughout Chrissendom, whatever adj
vance has been made in knowledge, in
freedom, to wealth, and in the arts Of life
has been in inverse proportion 10 her
power. The loveliest and most fertile
provinces Of Europe have, under her rule,
been sunF in poverty, in political servitude
and intellectual torpor, whilst Protestant
countries once proverbial for sterility and
barbarism, have been turned by skill and
industry into gardens, and can boast Of
long list OF heroes and statesmen, philos-
ophers and poets. Whoever, knowing
what Italy and Scotland naturally are,
and what, four hundred years ago, they
actually were, shall now compare the
country round Rome with the country
round Edinburgh, will be able 10 form
some judgment as TO the tendency of pa
pal domination. The descent OF Spain,
once the first among monarchies, to the
lowest depth Of degradation--lhe elevation
Of Holland, in spite of many natural dis
advantages, to position such as no COM
monwealth so small has ever reached,
teach the same lesson. Whoever passes
in Germany from a Roman Catholic to a
Protestant principality; 10 Switzerland
from Roman Catholic to Protestant
county, finds that he has passed from q
lower to higher grade of civilization
On the other side Of the Atlantic the
same law prevails.
The Protestants Of the United States
have left far behind the Roman Catholics
of Mexico, Peru and Brazil. The Roman
Catholics Of Lower Canada remain inert.
while the whole continent around them
is in a ferment with Protestant acticity
and enterprise. The French have doubt
less shown an energy and intelligence
which, taken when misdirected, have
Justly entitled them to be called great
people. But this apparent exception,
when examined will be found to confirm
the rule, for in no country that is called
Roman Catholic, has the Roman Catholic
church, during several generations, pos.
sessed so little authority as in France

has read somewhere, and processes his
inclination to believe it, that "any woman

attractions, can make any man propose to
her, if she has the chance Of living in the
same house with him for month" We
are also inclined to think the proposition
correct one. There is great deal Of
nonsense in the customary gossip on the
subject. If we we're 10 credit the daily tea

Perpetual Sunshine.

Bayard Taylor, who last summer made
a journey to the North Cape, writes from
Hammerfest, Finmark, his impressions
of the continuous polar daylight of the
Arctic latitudes, from which we extract
the following:
81 am tired of this unending daylight,
and would willingly exchange the pomp
of the Arctic midnight for the starlit dark
ness of home. We are confused by the
loss of night; we lose the perception of
time. One is never sleepy, but simply
tired, and after sleep Of eight hours by
sunshine wakes up as tired as ever. His
sleep at last is broken and irregular; he
substitutes number of short maps, dis
tributed through, and finally gets into
state Of general uneasiness and discomfort.
A Hammerfest merchant. who has made
frequent voyages to Spitzbergen, told me
that in the latitude Of 80 deg he never
knew certainly whether it was Cay or
night, and the cook was the only person
on board who could tell him.

The Approach Of Age.

1t is a gentle and pleasant thing TO be
young when the heart is as placid as an
evening sky, and its hopes as bright as
the broad MONDAY.
Youth is prone to regard age and de-
crepitude as something abstract-as an es-
tale to which, by some mysterious inter.
ference in itself will not arrive.
And it is hard to think that these blush
ing beauties shall be shrivelled and vast

dried up, and the light and bounding foot.

at The approaching picture, and ask why
need we too become wrinkled and old!-
Sometimes we awake in the still night
painting from the impression Of dream
in which wo have been revealed to our
selves as we shall be. 1t is bitter ant
a cutting thought to young spirit that i
must become old.
But as one who travels upon the sam

Natures Beverage.

One Paul Denton of Texas, Methodist
preacher, it appears, had advertised a
barbecue, with better liquors than are
generally furnished. When the people
were assembled, desperate in the crowd

ence has lied. You promised not only
barbecue, but better liquors. Where's the
liquor"
There! answered the missionary, in
tones Of thunder, and pointing his motion
less finger to the matchless double spring,
gushing up in two strong columns, with
a sound like shout Of joy from the bosom
Of the earth. 'There!' he repeated with a
a look terrible as lightning, while his
enemy actually trembled at his feel; there
is the liquor which God the Eternal
brews for all his children. Not in the
simmering still, over smoky fires, choked
with poisonous gasses, surrounded with
the stencil Of sickening odors and corrup
tions, doth your Father in Heaven prepare
the precious essence Of life--the pure cold
water; but in the free glade and grassy
dell, where the red deer wanders, and
the child loves TO play; there God brews
it; and down, low down in the deepest
valleys, where the fountain murmers, and
the rill sings, and high up on the mountain

Husbands and Wives.

In the flush and brilliancy Of early
married love. the first faint impressions
of the future husband and wife commence.
As lovers, their separate dispositions were
in a state of pleasant an.agonism as a
welded pair, they are presumed to be
amalgamated, and form an entirety which
recognizes mutual interests, advantages
and concessions, as the basis Of their mu-
tual happiness. The husband, then, even
in the dawn of his marital bliss, should
begin to create in his wile's mind those
favorable sensations which are the pre-
cursors OF those more solid ideas which
bind woman TO man-by that strong in.
tercommunion OF soul which only death
can interrupt. This obligation is equally
imperative on the wife. In the heyday
of her husbands love, while his heart
beats responsive 10 her every wish, and
his mind is fair tablet on which none
but summer thoughts are engraved. she
should begin the study Of his character
so that when the necessity arises she may
be able 10 accommodate her own plasti,

The Work thar Wins.

At the Republican Jubilee in Toledo, Satur

called to the stand. We quote two paragraphs
from his speech, showing what kind of work
was done in the 5th District, and what kind OF
work wins. Gen. A said:
Honored as l was by the nomination Of the
Republican Convention at Defiance, | felt il 10

Of our cause, and to keep the pledge there
