Our country is already full ofjust such
useless appendages to civilization. They
form no part whatever of any thing infuen-
tial, vigorous, intelligent or manly. Heaven
knows there is not in these United States a
class Of men who swell so much on so small
a capital both in brains and in pocket Ex-
erting their feeble energies to persouify
some hollow ideal of wealth, greatness and
sublimty, they convince those who regard
them with attention. that they are like our
mountain streams, shallow and noisy. To
hear one Of these personages talk, you
would at first suppose he had travelled more
than John Vaudeville ever did--his air and
appearance indicate that he owns all the re-
gion round about, and he fances you arc i'm
pressed with the idea that he can discharge
the duties Of a statesman vigorously, or re-
turn from foreign court, success full diplo-
mat. There ore scores of young men with
just such characteristics all around u.s. Ma
ny of them are from excellent families, but
they themselves are regular "snobS." They
have fallen into this particular rut of life,
and think that what they do not know is
not worth knowing, and regard with pitya-
bic scorn, every thing beyond the narrow
circle that confines them. Reader, if this
touches your case, do not say, and seek to
convince yourself, that you are altogether an
exception, but ask yourself if you have not
swelled about, and talked large for one of
your age and abilities ?-if you have not felt
the full Importance of being Dry Goods
Clerk ?--ard then ask yourself if you can
not be about some more vigorous--more
manIy-more truly productive business ?
Get out from behind the countcr--three
fourths of you kid-glovcd gentry, and com
mence a course Of study that will make you
respectable, intelligent men--inauential and
honorable in society. Go to work with
your own hands, and become producers rath-
er than consumers--do any thing that will
develope brain, heart and muscle, and that
will save you from falling into the absolute
nothingRcSs Of sweet-scented, ef1eminate
man We have enough of this species of
humanity for an age to come. Give the
way to honest, industrious girls. They can
sell more goods, be more truly polite, and
not half as impudent as you. A MAN, and
no higher ambition than to sell calico, thread

Score OF MiRAcLEs.-The gospel miracles
differ from all others in their nature, and fire.
quency, and in the disinterestedness which
characterizes them. Neither the Saviour nor
his disciples ever wrought a miracle for their
own personal benefit. DIR. Carson well says
Trophimus have | left at Miletum sick
Did you Pauls Aud why did you leave him
sick. when you possessed the power Of work,
ing miracless Why were you so profuse Of
your miracles in Melita. while you are 50
sparing d them among your best friends
For the very reason Of showing that mira
cles are rather for the proof Of the gospel.
than for the private benefit even OF the heirs
OF glory. God is sovereign in this, as well
as in everything else. Jesus healed the ear
Of the high priests servant, while Paul did
not heal his friend rrnphimus.
The apostles exercised their power, not
by their discretion or caprice, but BY The
suggestion Of the Holy Spirit. This. then,
is proyidential fact, the record OF which
though to human wisdom trifling. Is yet oil
great importance TO the children of God.
They are not TO expect that they will always
be free from sickness, or that their sickness
will be soon dismissed. They have reason
10 trust that God will always be with them,
and will turn everything to good for them.
But they must submit TO him as sovereign
who gives no account Of his matters.

The following sound views are expressed
by Gen. Nilsson in his recent letter avowing
his preference for the regular nominees Of the
National Democracy:
Had been member Of the Convention
would sternly have refused 10 add this theory
Of the relation between the Federal Govern
ment and the Territories to the creed Of the
Democratic party. Nay, so far from il.
would have advised. as | have repeatedly
done. the striking out Of INST of those other
things that now cucumber what is called the
Democratic platform. think il was grave
error, that the rights Of slave. holding States,
and the obligations Of the Federal Govern
ment IN respect to them, should ever have
been even seemingly staked upon the issue
OF Presidential election. That these rights.
whether reserved to the States or guaranteed
10 them by the constitution. do not really
depend upon any such contingencies. must
be evident to all who know the jealous care
with which they have been guarded by the
federal compact from any invasion by pe-
pular majority. But still. they have been so
often put up to be played for nj these Presi-
dental games. that the people have insensi-
bly, come to suppose that they have no higher
sanction that the popular suiferance aud
that they are 10 be lost or retained. with the
hazards Of the contest. They not unnatural
" conclude. that il we challenge a trial Of
strength or skill for wager, il must be for.
feited 20 the winning party. and that We give
a sort Of consent tina, il may be exscted Of
Us. Hence the vague approximations Of so
many persons of late years that the less Of
Presidential election must involve the loss
Of our reserved or guaranteed rights; and
hence the frequent threats or withdrawal from
the Union. in such contingency. as the on
~ means left Of preserving the stake which
they feel TO haze been forfeited, but are still
determined TO retain.
