Costliness of Human Progress.

As to those who think that the upris-
ing was necessary, but that il should have
cost nothing, | ask whence they have de-
rived an illusion of this nature. 1t has
not been, at all events, from history. If
there bea truth shown clearly in its pages,
it is that every uprising is crisis. To
dream of roses without thorps, and of
progress without suffering, we must shut
oureyes. Nothing is so disagreeable to
witness as the uprising of people; there
are struggles, mistakes, reverses, and
dangers there is blood and ruin; pru-
dent men stand aside, feeling hearts are
reused to Indignation, vulgar minds dis
parage and anathematize. Why not die
decently, TRANQUILITY, instead of troubling
the world by these paroxysms of feyerish
agitation.
the good resumes the lead, that we behold
the appearance of social sufferings. 1t
does not enter into the designs of God for
great iniquities to be blotted out before
their chastisement has made itself felt
And here-the fact is remarkable-the
chastisement falls at once upon all the
guilty ones; upon the South, which sus-
tanned slavery; upon the North, the ac-
compliee of the South; upon Europe, in
different to the wrong, and too long dis
posed to profit by it,
We must bow our heads and adore the
hand that smites US. God has not sent
the wars, the commercial crisis, the mis-
cries of all kinds; they are the pains of
they will last until new Amer
lea, a free and just America, shall have |
come into the world.
We always pay more dearly for a prog |
ress than fault; or rather, it is at the |
hour of progress that the account OF |
faults is settled. Crisis of uprising mark |
the great epochs of history. What crisis |
i limit myself to this-what crisis can
be compared in that which dates from the
coming of Jesus Christ? He said, Il do
not come to bring peace but sword. -

Now YOU look like a Gentleman.

Such was the remark we heard a far
mer's daughter make, a short time since,
to her brother. He had been hard at
work, and his clothes, and especially his
boots, were covered with dust. His cravat
was united, his hat slouched, and he pres
ented rather an untidy appearance. He
felt dirty and uncomfortable. He sat
down took up paper. but seemed uneasy.
At length a sudden idea seemed to strike
him. He sprang up with resolution in
his eye. Presently the backing brush
was heard in the woOdshed, and the broom
whisp played lively tune on the dusty
coat and pants. Shortly our young friend
made his appearance. smart and clean,
and bright as II button. Now you look
like gentleman, said his sister, and tru-
ly. Better still, he .feh ike one.
Slovenly habits of dress are not favor
able to mental improvement. The young
man who, after he had cleaned his boots
and brushed his clothes, looked like
sat down TO a book with
pleasure and profit. 1t was only an hour
to bedtime. But what of that? An hour
n day spent in earnest study will enable
any young man of ordinary intelligence
to lay up a large stock of valuable infor-
nation. Had this young man not spruced
up, he Wauld have been tempted to take
4 smoke, and stupefy his mind with the |
tunes of tobacco, instead of stimulating |
t with the pleasant excitement always
attending the acquisition Of useful knowl-
,dge.
Every farmer should keep record of
lis labors, receipts, expenditures, ETC.
This duty should be assigned to the far
ner's son. Let the father talk over
he matter with him, and let the son
make the entries The duty will soon be-
ONE delight, and father will conrmuni-
ate his experience on the subjects COM
ng under their notice. The son will feel
growing attachment to the pursuits of
griculture, and will almost certainly be-
ONE a successful and intelligent farmer.

ion to personal appearance and comfort,

Thought essential to Health.

If we would have. our bodies healthy,
our brains must be used, and used in or
derly and vigorous ways, that the life-giv-
ing streams of force may flow from them
into the expectant organs, which can
minister but as they are ministered unto.
We admire the vigorous animal life of
the Greeks, and with justice we recognize
and partly seek to initiate the yariOns
gymnastic and other means which they
employed to secure it. But probably we
should make fatal error if we omitted
from our calculation the hearty and gen.
erous earnestneSs with which the highest
subjects of art, speculation, and politics
were pursued by them. Surely, in this
case, the beautiful and energetic mental
life was expressed in the athletic and
graceful frame. And were it a mere eX
trayagance to ask whether some part of
the lassitude and weariness of life, of
which we hear so much in our day, might
be due to lack of mental occupation on
worthy subjects, exciting and repaying a
generous enthusiasm, as well as to an
on lower ones? whether an
on matters which have not
substance enough to justify or satisfy the
mental grasp, be not at the root of some
part OF the maladies which affect our men,
tai convalescenee? Any one who tries it
soon finds out how wearying, how dispro-
exhausting is an overdose of
light literature" compared with an
equal amount of time spent on real work.
OF this we may be sure, that the due ex-
ercise of brlin-of thoughts one of the
clements of human life The
perfect health of man is not the same
rs that Of an OK or a horse. The prepon-
1erating capacity of his nervous parts
demands a corresponding life.-CornhiH

Speech of General Banks.

General Banks delivered a speech in
Boston on Saturday evening, in the course
of which he said:
The period of war is never one of con-
tinued success or perpetual disaster; alter
nate triumphs and defeats Diversity the
history of every warlike nation. We had
our disaters as other nations in like cir
cumstances, and dependency rested mo-
mentarily upon many loyal faces. He saw
nothing in the future to justify apprehen-
sion, or TO strengthen for q moment fear
that our earnest efforts for the re-estab-
lishment of the Government, of the Con-
stitution, and the Union would fail The
material and physical strength of the ma
ton has not yet been appreciated, much
less exhausted. Not loyal state, except
perhaps, Maryland, exhibits, or has ex-
hibited, the slightest evidence that the
Government was engaged in serious war
Whenever their power shall be complete
ly developed, the rebellion will be sup
pressed. 1t can never resist successfully
an earnest and exhausting demonstration
of marvellous power of the loyal States
The approaching winter was not to be lost
in inaction. The Government was deter
mined to put forth its strength. Numer-
ogs expeditions were on foot that could
not, if vigorously pressed, but be fatal to
the revolted States. He hoped to bear
MS share in the hardships and perils of
.hese labors, and he asked no other salts
action and support in the coming trials,
is in those past, but to be surrounded and
by such spirits as Massachusetts
lad sent forth to battle for the great and
mperishable principles of humanity and
liberty.
