MANS WANTs.-Rev. J. G. Knowlton,
in an address delivered before the Penobscot
Agricultural Society, gives the following
summary of the wants Of man:
l. Lie wants to be well born, that is, he
wants to be born OF healthy parentage, and
IN morally and physically healthy locality.
1t he IS born wrong, he seldom gets right
through life.
2. lie wants to be well educated, or we'll
brought up. And by education he meant
that every power and faculty of the mind
and body be developed, and brought to per-
fection.
g. He wants employment. He was made
to labor. When idle, lie is always commit.
ting sin. It cannot be otherwise. Labor
is the condition Of happiness, and happi-
ness is for what we live.
4. lie wants a location, house, one
place in the wide world which ne can call
his own. No man ever enjoyed all of life
without it. And this house he wants to
have adorned, embellished. There is no
one who has not some sense of the pictur-
esque, the beautiful, and the more home is
adorned, the more Of happiness it will af-
ford.
S. He wants companion. 1t is not
good for man to be alone. After home,
every man wants wife; every woman
husband. He needs wife to assist him in
the accumulation Of money. This said the
Rev. gentleman, although not strictly an ag
ricultural subject, is collateral to it.
6. Man wants Christian hope for the
future, when he shall have done with earth
and its labors.

The CHARLESTON CoNvENTIoN-This
Convention is already as good as dead. The
materials which it has been proposed to
mingle in the Southern soup will not Goa
lesce. The specific gravities of the several
ingredients are so different that nothing
like consolidated unity can be relied upon.
The probability is that the South will keep
out of the Convention altogether. The
hopes Of Mr.. Douglas are all gone, and
have been since the triumphant entry Of
that gentleman into New York and Phila-
delphia some months ago, and any attempt
to lift the little hero into the Presidential
Chair will only tend toward the modifca.
ton and defeat Of that scale Of the De-
mocracy that has been Clipped off the old
block. The country is tired of the negro
question, and would, both at the North and
the South, prefer man for President with
large and capacious intellect to any of the
small candidates proposed by mere factions.
The Southern Convention as at present de.
signed cannot win the South.- -Philadel-
rhia Enquirer.
