ENERGY.-lt is astonishing how much
may be accomplished in sclf-culture by
the energetic and the persevering, who
are careful to avail themselves of oportun-
mites, and use up the fragments of spare
time which tho idle permit to run waste
Thus Ferguson learnd astronomy from
the heavens while wrapped in sheepskin
on the highland hills. Thus Stone learn
ed mathematics while working as a jour
neyman gardner; thus Drew studied the
highest philosophy in the intervals of cob.
bling shoes; thus Miller taught himself
geology while working as day-laborer in
a quarry. BY bringing their mind to bear
upon knowledge in its various aspects,
and carefully using up the very odds and
ends of their time, men such as these, in
the very humblest circumstances, reached
the highest culture, and required honora-
BILE distinction among their fellow men.-
1t was one of the characteristic express
sions of Chatterton, that God had sent
his creatures into the world with arms
long enough to reach anything, if they
chose to be at the trouble.

THE ROSE OF ALLENDALE.

The morn was fair, the skies we're clear,
No breath came DER the sea,
When Mary left her highland cot,
And wandered forth with me;
Though flowers dccked the mountains side,
And fragrance filed the vale,
BY far the sweetest flowers there,
Was the Rose Of Allendale.
Where'r wondered east and west,
Though fate began to lower,
A solace still was she to me,
In sorrows lonely hour;
When tempests lash'd our gallant bark,
And rent her shivering sail,
One maiden form withstood the storm,
Twas the Rose of Allendale.
And when my fever'd lips were parch'd,
On Africa's burning sand,
She WHISPERED hopes and happiness,
And tales of distant land
My life had been wilderness,
Unblest by fortunes gale,
Had fate not linked my lot to her.
The Rose of Allendale.

WARNING TO TRAvEIERs.-Th Utica
Telegraph cautions travlers on railway
cars against taking hold of the horizontal
wheel used for lightning the brakes, which
projects above the railing on the platform
of the cars, the reason for this caution is
thus stated:-"Several of the leading rail-
roads are beginning to use a kind of brake,
which, in case of emergency, can be set
almost instantly without the presence of
the brakeman. Should such an emergen-
cy arise while a passenger was steadying
himself by one of the wheels, it would,
without the least warning, commence to
revolvc rapidly, and he would lose his hold
and run great risk of falling between
the cars"
Evry person should remember this
canton. 1t may save life.

The Express wonders what it means that The
TRIBUNE should throw cold water on the Common
Councils display of real in favor of Sour City
4" Franchises" 10 the matter of the proposed Rail
roads Ii means just this-,hat we know the Con-
mon Council to be az rotten as the rOtenest part OF
the Legislature and sure this is just dodge
of the former to obtain q share OF toe Railroad
stealjpes. Ii means that the Common Council has
abundant power to protect our City and citizens
from apy extortion or exorbtant profit by the Rail
read jobbers if il will osy exert that pOwer-which
it will not do, simply because that would put no
money into the pockets of the Aldermen and Coun
cilmen. II means that we beliese this pretsnse OF
sn Aldermanc contest of the Railroad grants is
probably got up By tie big Railroad joobers to pro-
long tbeirpresent lucrative monopoly of the business
and enable them to buy out their uDderstrappers on
more advantageous terms. 1t means that We per-
fecty understand that whenever the strikers of the
Aldermen and Councilmen shall baye been properly
seen" by ibe Gndiron men, the legal contest will
some how evoporate. IL means that we don't be-
litye in saddlipg our City with forty or fifty thou
and dollars CT extra law costs for the benefit OF the
Aldermahic coIrUptionists. Now do you under
tand?
If Corporation Counsel Bronson, on full consid-
Grafton of the facts, shall officially declare that he
believes the new Railroad grants can and should be
quasbed by prosecution, then we are in favor Of
bis undertaking the job; not otherwise. We want
DO more such litigation as that which has saddLd
our City with that beautiful judem for back rents
on the West Washington Market property.

rights o. rstepsyers give them Ia the vesty TO re-
liDquishipg them through this yearly quit claim
These rights, too, would re-sttscb at any time on
tho neglect Of the legs. notice, and thus the element
Of disision and scandal 10 the Church be renewed
whenever the occasion for renewing it was worth
the price Of the Church Rate. This proposition,
proceeding from the Lords, then. does not seem
likely to satisfy either party.
In fact the great body Of liberal Churchmen, as
well as the Dsepters, are in favor Of the abolition
of Church Rates altogether. Public opinion has
clearly reached the point Of scouting the idea that
man shall be obliged to psy for the repair oil a
Church edifce, and the maintenance oil form Of
worship which he never uses, and which he con-
siders it wrong to use. The inevitable inference
which must be drawn from these premises, and the
necessary consequence which must follow this
beQinppg-that it il more absurd to compel man
10 support ministers whom he never hears and
whose ministry he regards as wropgfdl-these are
conveniently wibked out Of sight for the present
distress. But mans eyes will open upon them
again. as soon ss this poot has been carried success
fully. As far as the repair of the Church edldces
aId the payment Of the necessary expenses OF tne
service, the Voluntary System will very soon DO
adopted in England. And who can doubt that it
will not be many years before the whole tlthe sya-
tam will follow in the wake Of that of the rates,
and no man be obliged TO pay for spiritual ac;om-
mediation of which he u not inclined to avail him
self That both changes vii work satisfactorily,
there can be no great doubt We suppose t1ss
nearly. if not quite, as much money is raised in
this country on the Voluntary System, as ia En-
gland on the Compulsory one. 1t is matter more
under the control of Public Opinion than OF Law.
II is respectable to attend upon the Ordinances OF
Religion here, and to contribute to their support.
Hence the large sums annually raised for pious
uses in America. This will operate with much
more force in England than here, and the power OF
fashion will tend in the direction OF tue E'tao sh-
mebt much rather than Of Dissent. SO we do not
apprehepd that England will suffer from dearth OF
parsoDs for long while 10 came. Whether the
charge will be the better for the independence OF
the clergy, time only can show, and whether The
power OF the patron and of the hierarchy is any
worse than that of the pews will be. In the mean
time, this impending change, enough to make Lord
Eldon and Lord Peterborough turn over In their
coba, ia fresh proof of the elasticity of Engl sh
institutions, and of how cure they are to take the
mold furnished by the deliberate purpose Of the
people.
