The results of historical events often
surpass immeasurably their apparent i'm
portauce, and are totally diverse from their
apparent causes and beginnings. The re-
yival of letters, the resuscitation of the
intellect of Europe, came from the Eill of
ConstantinOpie. But who could l;ave dis
cerned in that fearful scene of fire and car
mage n solitary tendency 20 so benign and
happy Il result2 Who would have foretold
from the wild triumph of Turkish bruttii-
~. the future downfall of Islam supersti-
ton and Ottoman power. and from the in
credible sutTreings of the Christians, the
peaceful triumph OF Christianity on the
same spot7 Who could have discerned in
the sacked and ruined city, the ph@niX
that was rising from her ashes? "a
When the little cnravdl of Colum bus set
sail from the port of Spain, she WAS to
omen anew Hemisphere half-world-to
human activity and expansion; new era
in science, government and society; one on
ly of the results of her voyage was to be
the foundation of the frerst state md the
greatest empire OF history, before whose
power aud opulence grand old Spain her
self would dwindle into iusigliheance.-
Who would believe that so vast . result
was to come from SO humble a beginning
When Charles VIII. of France and his
little army. passed the Alps towards the
close OF the fifteenth century, and rolled
like an avalanche down the Italian penin-
suIa, and. after what seemed reckless
and resultless invasions barely. made good
their escape back across the Alps-whO
could have imagined that in that dash and
retreat they had shattered, beyond hope of
reconstruction, the petty tyraunies OF Italy,
and borne back with them the seeds of
thought, of freedom, and Of all religious
aud social deliberations, to cover with
their shadow and enrich with their fruit
their own native France, and Ultimate
ly all Europe aud the world2 In oth-
er words. that this wild young king and his
licentious sOldiery were the vanguard of
the Reformation2
If We could see the result in the process,
the bloom and fruit in the seed, it would
greatly reconcile us to the struggles and
sufferings through which all good is to
come to men and communities. For as
the corn only grows in the track of the
Plough share, the rich fruits of human
liberty and progress can only be reaped
from moral soils which have been torn up
BY calamity and revolution.
Through ore of these painful and rcn-
ding processes We are now passing. If
war, cIyil war, do not constitute the plough
and harrow-nye, the subsoil-plough and
double toothed harroW-by which the NOR
al crust of nation is to be broken up and
thoroughly pulyerized We should like to
know where the instruments for that style
OF culture are to be found What now is
to be the harvest that is to folloW2 There
Is no harm ia peering into the seed-boxes
which are rapidly and plentifally deposit-
ing It in the deeply melloWed soil, and
making such guesses as we can atits quail
ity and amount.

s115O for n snooze.

The GAINESVILLE Courier tells pretty hard
story in reference to the management of
the Commissary Department at Parkers-
burg. 1t is ms follows:
A clustering Colonel is the COmmissary
master at the above named place, and has
with his family, comfortable quarters at
the best hotel. 1t was a darling habit
with the Colonel, to take a snooze after
dinner One day the clerk kinterruptedh him
while asleep to have his attention to some
business; whereupon the Colonel swore
that he had been accustomed all his life
to have n snuoze after dinner, and if he or
any other man hereafter interrupted him,
he would shoot him at once,
0ne day last week, a large quantity of
goods, for the army, in Western Virgins,
arrived at the landing, consigned to the
care Of said commissary, and the Captain
OF the boat wished to know If the goods
called at the warehouse. to get the desired
information He was informed by the
clerk Ilrl the Colonel was asleep at his
hotel. The Captain of the boat desired
that the clerk would go and ascertain what
was to bc done The clerk assured him
that lie conid not do so, ~ lac would I'r shot
ii lac attempted to awaken him.
The captain thought lie would ascertain
for himself, and proceeded to the hotel and
inquired for Col wife as
sured him that he was asleep, and he
would shoot the first person who would
awaken him. l- @
The captain returned to his hpatuud pnt
off the goods, which he would have dcliv-
cred to Wheeling for fifty dollars udiition-
al freight. Some two hours afterwards
tile Colonel came 10 his oIIirc md found
the goods, which might have been on tue
way to their destination. He aiereHpOn,
to remedy the matter chartered !. boat at
$1,000 TO take the goods to their destin"-
ton.
VIZ trust that the Colonel willat once be
removed, and nn honest man rat in Ills
place. GommissHry masters. ought not to
sleep at their posts any more than soldiers.
We do not like the idea Of seeing dash
after the word Colonel. Instead the name
of the commissary should appear. If the
charge is true, he should be exposed, if not,
tho accusation should never have been
made.

THE PRESENT..
o, what sightl this lovely land,
Now pester'd by thleying band, ta d.
Determined for to set at naught,
All holy principles Of Thought
Who can but look With sad forlnrn,
That sees the raging Of tue storm;
That calls to mind the happy hours
OF by-gone days and freedoms bower.
When nothing but Of peace We knew, IT,
And tnacquninted with wars ado;
A South wind blew the news abroad;
And told us It would us deiraud.1
But with a5trong resistiess hand
We've now sent Out our gallant band,
And ere the heat OF summer comes
We hope to SEQ the rebels hung.
With Mcclellan at our head,
Well give to them a traitors bed;
ifi We'll stretch the hemp till they n[e dead, ~
- And give them plenty sniinnis lead =
But let us not forget to pray,
For those who from, our homes do stay,
Mid winters blast and summers heat,
A glorious harbor for to reap. -sr.
