INpEpENpENcE.-A Western editor recently
offered his hat to the best essay on independ-
ence. The following obtained the prize
National Independence is easier imagined
than described; personal Independence consists
empbatically in being situated in q clean shirt,
drawers, socks, and nicely BACKED pair of
boots, with at least dollar and halt and
clean cambric handkerchief in your pocket on
Sunday morning, with your wife on one arm
and the baby on the other. taking your course
toward your own preacher. In the expectation
of doing your own snoozIng in your own pew,
wherein no one dares to venture to nudge you
with their elbows, or tickle you with q straw"

mo- be Con1ed on Driven.

There are two kinds Of men--oDe 90 by driv-
ing the other don't
There is, indeed, a third class who will nei-
ther go by driving nor in any other way; but
let them pass for nothing.
The men who can't be driven, but who are
always open to reason, and attentive to the
voice of persuasion, are the men 10 be valued
these are the noblest ones. They are stub
born and hard, to be sure, against the hand OF
violence they are the granite OF humanity in
that respect but no down is softer to the en-
treaties of helplessness, aud no unadulterated
gold is more pliable than they are to the voice
Of helplessness. Blessed are such men. Mise-
rable would this world be without them. No
body who has any selfrespect, or any sort Of
insight into human nature would ever attempt
to drive such men as these ; there is no use in
trying it, aud no pleasure-you are always sure
to spend your strength for naught, and when
you sit down under the modification OF defeat,
you have but this for your consolation: "He
would have done all that is desired, bad tried
persuasion instead of force"
But the first class of which we speak need
forcing. They cannot be managed without it.
They are too lazy, or too Indifferent, or toe
timid, to 60 ahead in anything till they have
had at least one good solid shove from some
body. Push them, drive them, hustle them
along, and they will do we'll enough but just
let them alone, and every enterprise upon their
hands will lauguish and fail. With very indo-
lent children one smart spank is more effectual
than volumes of reasoning. just so such men as
these latter are more helped by shake and q
push than by any amount of arguments they
can be got further on by main strength than by
all the entreaties and solicitations in the world
Therefore. we should study the tempers OF
those with whom we have to do, and be sure moi
to make mistakes for to try OF drive one who
ought to be only coaxed, or coax one who
needs to be driven, is great waste Of time,
patience and industry. And people are always
laundering in this very latter.

ACCORDING to the "Asiatic Researches" a
very curious mode Of trying titles to land is
practiced in Hindostan. Two holes are dug in
the disputed spot, in each Of which the lawyers
on either side put one of their legs, and remain
there until one Of them is tired, or complains
Of being stung by the insects, in which case his
client is defeated. In this country it is gene
his foot in it."

Rlrthday Tribute.
NJ OLIVER wExDsLL noLsirs.

We win not speak Of years tonight;
For what have ears to bring,
INT larger foods Of love and light,
And sweeter songs TO singf
We will not drown in worldly praise
The kindly Thoughts that rise;
Iffiendship owns one tender phrase,
He reads 1t in our eyes.
We need not waste our schoolboy art
To gild this notch Of time;
Forgive me, If my wayward heart
Has throbbed in artless rhyme.
Enough for him the silent grasp
That knits us hand in hand.
And he the bracelets radient clasp
That locks our circling band.
Strength to his hours Of manly toll
Peace to his starlit dreams
Who loves alike the furrowed soil,
And music haunted streams
Sweet smiles to keep forever bright
The sunshine on his lips,
And faith that sees the ring Of light
Round Natures last eclipse.
