Is the World a Mistake.

One Of the Raddest mistakes which good
people have made is in supposing tho world
10 be mistake. To these people--and
their number is not sInall--the earth is but a
theater Of paiu, and sickness, sorrow and
death. Joy is illusive, pleasure a cheat
laughter moekery, and happiness thing
impossible, and not even to be looked for on
this side Of the grave. The performance Of
all duty is the "taking up ofwhat they call
"a cross. They are actually afraid to be
happy, under an oyersbadowing impression
that they have no right to be happy 10 this
life. They believe that there Is something
intrinsically bad in the world they inhabit,
and all the Joy that proceeds from IT. They
bave an idea that the moral evil which af-
Hiots the human race has struck in All
the suHerings Of the brute creation-their
throes Of labor, and sicknesses Of body, and
pains Of death-are so many voices pro-
claiming the fatal failure ofAdam. Human
nature Of itself is an awful thing God Is q
great law giver, an inexorable aVengeE, an
awful judge, Being to be feared more than
loved. Life Is a trial--seyere, unrelenting,
perpetual All that Seems good and grace.

ReA-The May number of the Missionary
Herald, the organ of the American Board of
Commissioners for Foreign Missions, says
that the financial prospects of the Board: do
not brighten. The receipts for the first
eight months Of the present financial year
were less than $iSG,G9o. Should the four
remaining months produce corresponding
income, there would be dsbt of at least
$4O,0 900 at the close of the year. To relieve
the Board from embarrassment the receipts
for the remainder of the financial year must
reach the sum of $4,000 month.

taken by them as an endorsed of their past
course, and is certainly compliment in a
city where there are numerous applicants
for their positions. There is one matter yet,
We conceive, that needs attention-the ap-
pointment Of "Keeper Of the Station
House" The Police are wanted about the
city, and in their necessary absence from
the Station, a man should be there to attend
to business. 1t will cost something, we are
aware, but we are not by any means alone
in deeming such expense necessary. Conn
plete the matter by appointing a Station

We wcr, glad to notice the following
resolutions INTRODUCED aud passed by tho
Ohio State Board Of Agriculture, at its
last anuvcl Meeting, viz:
Reso'red That paying premiums by
Agricultural Societies for speed Of horses
simply as such, without duo reference to
the purpose OF general utility, if a prescr
vation of the original design.
Resoiced That such trials of speed have
great tendency to divert attention from
everything else; aud what seems TO he
their inseperabls accompaniment, are dc
frauling aud dcmoraizing. and thcrloro
we will not otlcr such premiums, and will
discourgo their being offered by County
aud Districts Societies.
This is d move in tho right direction, and
is the more gratifying from having been
introduced aud warmly advocated by u
breeder Of fast horses, who rather than
encourage such cyhibitions--turn our Fairs
into horse races, would sacrifice his entire

IIammond's Reasons for not Fighting.

st. Lcuis gentleman, dated March 81,

tiorial experience:
While edited the Albany Register |
offended Il hot hloodcd member Of the +.
F.'s of New York. He sent polite invi.
tation, through friend, for me to visit
Baltimore. Having no business in that
direction declined. He again through
his friend invited me to visit Canada
Having just returned from a fishing cNcur-
sion to the interior Of her Maicsty's colony
and having no occasion to go that way, |
again declined
He then, in direct terms, invited me to
namc friend aud time, weapons and place
to indulge in the pleasant pa,tmc Of cut
ting oGch others throats. | thought the
matter over, ami declined a third time,
assigning the following reasons;
l. The thing was contrary to law, ard
| had no desire to be hung for killing him
or that he should be hung for killing me.
2. had a wife who loved mo, and who
would mourn for me if fell. He had on
Iva mistress, who would rejoice at his
death, rs relieving her from the necessity Of
flying from his protection to that Of some
other man.
3. | had three children, for whose ed.
ucation | was in honor and by nature
bound to provide. He had none.
4. Society had no stake in his life
His continuance would be no blessing,
and his extiuguishmcnt no loss. Society
had claims on mo--upon him it had none
| had some claims on society--he had none
;. Ill soc him Id first.
There he matter has rested ever since.
