CnRisrlANirl.-Ti'he defensive Of Il
shrinking or timid policy does not suit her
Here is the naked majesty Of truth; and
with all the grandeur of age, but with
none of its infrmities, has she come down
to us, and gathered. strength from the
many battles she has won in the many
controversies ofmany generations. With
such religion as this there is nothing to
hide. All should be above board and the
broadcast light Of day should be made
fully and freely to circulate throughout all
her sccrecics. But secrets she has none.
To her belong the frankncss and simplicity
of conscious greatness; and whether she
grapple with pride Of philosophy, or stand
in front opposition to the prejudices of the
multitude, she does it upon her own
strength, and spurns all the props and all
the auxiliaries of superstition away from
her-Dr. Chalmers.

TIE LAW OF PHYsIcs-The laws Of
physics have an influence SO extensive.
that it need not excite surprise that all
classes Of society arc at last discovering the
deep interest they have to understand
them The lawyer finds that, in many
of the causes tried in his courts an appeal
must be made to physics, as in cases Of
disputed inventions, accidents in naviga-
ton. or among carriages, steam engines,
and machines generally. The statesman
is constantly listening to discussions re-
spccting bridges, roads, canals docks and
the mechanical industry of the nation.
The clergyman finds ranged among the
beauties of nature, the most ineligible
and striking proof of Gods wisdom and
goodness. The sailor, in his ship, has to
deal with one of the most admirable ma
chimes in existence. Soldiers in using
their proiectiles, in marching whore rivers
have to be crossed, woods to be cut down,
roads to be made towns to be besieged,
&c. The land owner in making improve
monts on his estates, building, draining,
ilrigating, road making, &c. The farmer,
equally in these particulars, and in all the
machinery of agriculture. The manufae-
turel, of course the merchant, who solicits
ana distributes over the world the pro-
ducts Of manufacturing indu try. Then,
also, The man Of letters, that he may not,
in drawing illustrations from the material
world, repeat the scientific heresies and
absurdities which have heretofore pre-
vailed. In our cities now, and even in an
ordinary dwelling house, men are sur
rounded by prodigies Of mechanical art,
and cannot submit to use these as regard
less of how they are produced. as horse
is regardless of how the corn falls into
his manger.-Arnott on Physics

Why are Presidents Ike vagabonds?

They are the same men who procured
the passage of the amnesty and other
indnlgencies, by their promises, that
they would maintain the laws and pres
crve order iii Southern Kansas. But
this has only proved a respite to enable
them more efoctually to prepare forthe
