Which shall know no bligh, on woe
That eternal joyous greeting,

six months, without the aid of Congress,
and that therefore they need not yield the
plurality rHle yet awhile Probably the

millions Of dollars, one for pay and mileage

quarter ending the Both of September.
The secretary has, subject to draft, about
five and half millions of dollars, which
is the margin required for smooth working,
and cannot be safely reduced and some
six millions of treasury notes capable of

Mental Improvement a Progressive wOrl

For the Telegraph.
Mental Improvement a Progressive work
1t is fact which is fully established, both by
the records of the past, and by the observations
Of the present time, that the mind of man is
richly endowed with the capacity for improve
ment. In tracing the history of generations
who existed centuries ago, we iud abundant
evidence Of this improvement. Although at
some periods the mind has made but slow pro-
gress, yet it has been gradually and surely dis
peiling the darkness which once enyeloped it,
and there surely is no person now, who can look
at the gigantic strides taken by the intellect of
our day, and say that the mind is not rapidly
improving. The degree Of advancement to
which the mind has attained, has not been ac-
quired in day, or in a month, yet in year,
but it has taken ages to reach it, And thus it
is with the individual mind it cannot be matur-
ed in few short years it is not as some per-
sous seem to think, capable Of no farther ad-
vancement when one has attended school few
terms, and has gone through prescribed course
of study. Far from it.
1t is the continual discipline which the mind
receives from the lessons learned each day, in
the home circle or abroad, which is Of the
greatest benefit to it, And this we have thro-
out all our lives, it is a steadily progressive
work ever going on, and it is according to the
nature Of things that this is so.
The sturdy oak, the so-called monarch Of the
forest only attains its lofty stature after endur-
ing the storms of centuries, but when it has at
tanned it, il is not destroyed by blasts. which
prove fatal to plants Of quicker growth.
The islands Of the sea also demonstrate the
same law. Those islands which are formed by
the process Of slow aecretion, or by the work
ing of the coral insect which only performs its
work after the lapse of years stands as an ever
lasting memorial Of the work Of the waves and
the perseverance, Of the little insect while those
which are thrown up by the coDVulsions Of sub
terranean regions are found to disappear as
quickly as they come. aud have no further ex-
lstence save 10 the mariners legend.
The human mind follows the same law, II is
made perfect only after the lapse Of ages And
for ages II stands nnimpared by the moral
