most eloquently alluding to the scenes Of the
day as connected with our national indepen-

cid and convincing manner the principles of
our organization and which must have con-
WINGED every unbiased mind of the necessity

poison, which chills the warmest affections
Of the human heart and dries up the purest
fountains of love that ripple through the
green wales of home.

SELECTED FOR TIE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
Genius and Talent The Difference Be
tween.

Genius is originality. Talent is the fruit
of industry genius of birth. The one
judges, combines, arranges, compares; the
other produces, inyents. A man Of talents
may be good historian, a commentator, a
grammarian; only a man Of genius ON be a
poet, painter, or statuary.
Genius is greater than talent. What do
we count most worthy of admiration, the
Jenisca which receives seventy tributary
rivers to make Up its current, or the mightier
Nile, flowing from an unknown source, re-
ceiving to its waters but eleven naIheless
streams, and at length pouring itself out
through seven awful mouths into the aston
ished ocean? Not unlike this is genius a
strange, wild current, bursting up from in
visible fountains in the man, rushing on swift,
unresisting, copious, broad, right royal
river, running into the "sea of life and love
unknown, without bottom and without a
shore. All other mems hopes and fears,
tears and smiles, float away like bubbles on
that tide. After all, the history of the world
is but record of the few great men that have
been here. In one view, at least, see it thus.
In history the mass are nothing, whatever
great sacred thing they may be on the evei
fact of existence They have no name OF
earth beyond their breathing hour. Th'
poetry, chivalry, scenery Of the world, what
have we to do with these, except to sing tn
songs, fight the battles, and read the discov
cries of the great masters?
And then, in this our time, we hear enoug
of pity, sighs, and very pious condolences 70
/ the fate of genius. We are told there is S
much Of it that could never make itself knows

For GIRLS To THINK 0F.-It would be
well for the girls to think of the future, and
not confine their reflections TO the present.
Girls are apt to fancy outward show and
transitory charms. There are but few who
think Of the intrinsic worth Of young man;
bis temperate, industrious and moral habits
do not recommend him. He is pointed at
for his economy in d. ess. He is derided and
held in contempt, if he is not a foppish dandy.
What pity it is people have no better sense
1t is fact and we challenge successful con-
tradiction, that laboring man is not gener-
ally respected by young ladies. 1T is hard
saying, who can bear it p We are glad to
know that all are not such as we have al
luded to-no, thank an ever merciful Proyi-
dease, there are some pure, and gentle ones,
that yet move among US, some who possess
generous hearts, TOO true to do anything but
love all with whom they meet They admire
ths moral aud roligioas, and pity the degra-
dsd and reckless. Woald to God that they
would instil into the hearts and lives of all
others, their sweet spirited disposition.

and vast, and solemn, like the midnight of
the stars thoughts that rise and set like
suns-that olaze and burn, and avalanche
along the world, until their mighty roar blends
with the mlsicof eternity. Go back, if you
will, after these and. other men of genius, and
find also the circumstances that made them.
AS well may you attempt to dig the soul out
OF person with spades and pick-axes, or mea-
sure the heavens with yard sticks, as to seek
after these souls among the things called
circumstances.
Genius, by intuition, falls intotruth sooner
than the greatest elaboration Of mere talent
can reason its way into it. It catches truth
by inspiration :: the one great fact of nature
and providence flashes ia en- it perpetualIy,
like a sunrise of the soul.
Like hues and harmonies Of evening,
Like clouds in starlight widely spread,
Like memory of music fed,
Like aught that for its grave may be
Dear, and yet dearer for its mystery"

Missing people.

Some months ago, we observed m Les- lies Illustrated paper, a department for ad. vertising missing people, in which the name. age, height and general description of the party was given, accompanied usually by an engraved likeness of the parsonage. In gancing at the paper from week to week we observed that some face of missing man or woman was always present, and Tn most instances the individuals were residents of the large cities of the country-trom which it was evident enough, that mysterious dis appearances were not uncommon Tn such places as New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and New Orleans.
 Recently our attention has again been drawn to this topic, by an incident which transpired in New York About week ago, the body of a female was found in North river off Jersey City, bearing un- mistakable signs of violence, and which had been attached to a barrel of pitch and an- chored thus in the stream. When discov- cred and taken in charge by the police, the body was exposed for identification. and public notice of the facts given. Now, see the result. Since that time, not less than fifty instances of disappearance, all happen ing within three months, have been brought to the notice of the authorities, and it seems altogether probable that any other three months of the year would tell the same ter- rible story
 We call it terrible, because there is some. thing peculiarly horrifying to us, in this facility of dropping away out of the circle of one's friends and acquaintances in . civilized country, and from the midst of police agents and officers, and leaving no trace of the fate which betel. And espe. cially when, as is the case here, all the vic. tins are females unable to protect them- selves, and needing to be cared for and guarded. Had these missing people been men, the horror had been less; but to think of forty women spirited away in one city in three months, without the falntest nope of finding whither and to what fate they were carried. How such things are to be avoided, we do not see; and yet surely there ought to be something done and attempted to check these outrages. How many others of the forty missing women oi New Iork are at the bottom of North riyer4 who Shau ssys- Ns,yinsa Isdsc
