VALUE OF WIT.

We take the following excellent passage
from Il review of The Autocrat,' IN Tho
Century" weekly paper recently eStab-
lishcd in New York:
"A wit is priceless man fora community
not scande- -monger heel bitter, IA detra,.
tor. cynic, whose own happiness III lie
being spoilt is bent upon making others ms
erable, but genial, benevolent relormer. Il
wholesome and winning though caustir sur
veyor of events. People breathe more freely
when they know there is such a man in Tic
ascendant, for wicked men will be afraid ut
him. weak men will strive to be stronger,
and quacks will not have it all their own WAY.
Society is continually in need of the exploits
Of that knight errant the wit. Evils creep
in unawarcs: some good. but very foolish man
prepetratcs good deal of nonsense which Is
tolerated and even admitted by virtue of his
goodness, and fixed az an institution before
its inconvenience is fully suspected. Hon
est sentiments with errors sticking 10 them
are gradually heaped up into monstrou'
aggregate of prejudice. Some bloatcd and
oyerfed truth weighs society down likes huge
nightmare, till the wit comes along to tickle
the sensorium and wake us up once more into
daylight with Il sensation Of free honest Iiy-
ing. or the old moralities of the word Get dull
and commonplace. worn, trite, aud battered.

general rcfurbisher, recasting the old com
and presenting it to us again current with
the image of to-day
