DANGERS OF MATERIAL PROSPERITY
The material prosperity OF the loyal States
has its serious drawba as we'll as bene-
fits. It doubtless enables the people to bear
the burdens of war without that pressure
on the comforts and necessities OF ilfewhlch
war commonly produces, but 1t at the same
time dazzles away attention from the du-
ties which the war imposes, and has ten
dency to substitute the pursuit OF wealth
for the sacrifices of patriotism. 1t is hard
ly possible to mingle much with society
without being both surprised and panied
at the omin0uS prominence In the puDllc
mind Of objects the reverse OF those by
which it should be occupied, and the evil
dent passion for making money which is
taking possession OF the general hear5. IN
the summer of 1861, people had made up
their minds to the belief that the war was
going seriously to impair their accumulat-
ed wealth, and they raised 10000 volun-
teers; in 1868, with fortunes doubled and
trebled, and with the thirst for wealth daily
increasing, they yield to an ignoble despair
of their capacity to raise BOZ, men. Inc
necessity is as great as ever but the public
feeling has changed.
We have sometimes thought it was a ca
lamity that a single private fortune had
been created or increased by the war. The
stories, passed from lip to lip, Of this man
making hundred thousand dollars in q
year-another, five hundred thousand-an-
other, a miliion-have stimulated that pro-
pensity which is the deadlieSt enemy TO III
dividual devotion to great public ends
Those who draw the great prizes are linn
tied number; those who wish to draw them
are unlimited in number; and mad and
selfish spirit Of speculation is generated
among whole classes Of men by the lucky
hits of a few. This is the reason why, when
the Government is calling for volunteers,
the public mind is found to be SO pre-occu-
pied with schemes for making money that
it cannot spare time to save the country.
If this mischievous illusion is not dissi-
pated, it will not take long for some shock
to startle the people out Of this dream OF
avarice, and thrust on them the CHASTITY re-
alities they have ignored. In that hour it
will be found that the value Of property de-
ponds on the solidity and strength of the
nation, and that the postponement OF the
claims of patriotism to those Of greed is the
extreme of folly as we'll as baseness.-Bos-

Snow SToRM.-The prophets are not all
dead yet. 1t has been predicted that we are
going to have hard winter. Judging from
the stvle of weather with which we have
been favored for the past day or two, it is
natural to conclude that the prediction will
be verified. On Thursday morning, 29th
dav of October, 1868, the people of this part
of the world walked up to find themselves
surrounded by a snow-stOrm of vast dl-
mansions. 1t was gotten up in Imitation
of that severe storm which visited Iowa
early in November, 1856, and which was
followed by the hardest winter ever known
in this Northern latitude. The snow lay
deeply on the ground for months. The
GOODNESS was intense. The cattle on a
Thousand hills persisted, and the cases OF
freezing to death among human beings
We're not rare. It is well enough to pre-
pare now for similar winter. A grave in
auguration of the icy season has been made.
State Register.
No CH1LDHooD.-We talk of Adam and
Eve as having been before the fall, in q
very happy condition; bIt one thing
they missed-they never were children.
Adam never played "hookey,' he never
drove tandem of boys with string. He
never skated on pond, or played ball, or
rode down hill on a hand sled. And Eve,
she never made a playhouse she never
took tea with another little girl, from the
tea-table set out with the tea things; she
never rolled hoop, or jumped the rope, or
pieced baby-quilt, or dressed DOLL
They never played blind mans buff, or
pussy wants a corner, or hurly-burly, or
any of the games with which childhood
disports itself. How blank their age must
have been within no memories OF early
youth came swelling up in their hearts mo
visions of childhood floating back from the
long past no mothers voice chanting a
lullaby to the ear of infancy, IN the SUI
hour Of night no fathers words OF KIND
ness speaking from the churchyard where
he sleeps. Adam and Eve, and they alone
Of all the countless millions OF men ana
women that have ever lived, had no child
hood.-AUanv Register.

A CLEVER RUSSIAN incident occurred
during the late retrograde movement OF
Meade's army, which shows shat Gen. Blu
ford is as fertile in eXpedients as he is brave
in an emergency. While bringing up the
rear, with the rebels not far behind him,
he came up with train of wagons several
miles long, numbering, it is said, about 800
wagons. The train was stopped, and Blu
ford could find no one in command to start
it. No time was to be lost. The enemy
were coming and Buford's command would
be cut up and the train captured. The
teamsters in that long train could not be
made to comprehend and act, Gen. Buford
in few seconds acted. He ordered one of
his rified pieces to be placed in the rear of
the trains, and began firing shell up the
road above the wagons at the longest range
and with good elevation. A few of these
rotten cannon balls bursting over the train,
reused the sleepers and fixed the business.
Believing that the rebels were close upon
them, the wagon masters and teamsters
applied whip and spur and the whole cara
van moved of safely.

HE ScHooL-MAsTER HoNoRED.-We
recognize in f. w. Eastman; Lieut.. Gov
ernor elect of Iowa, an old New Hampshire
school-master of ours. Mr.. Eastman stud
led law IN the office of Moses Norris, who
represented the Granite State for manv
years in Congress. Shortly after gradual
ting, he took unto himself a live Yankee
girl for wife and started to seek his for
tune in the Great Valley of the West. Mr..
Eastman was raised in the Democratic
faith as taught by that apostle of democra-
CIV in New Hampshire, Isaac Hill, and like
thousands of others, repudisted the latter.
Two other old school-masters of ours have
essayed to arrive at Gubernational honors
r. {. Habart, Of Wisconsin, and VIM. p
Haines, of Saco. Me.,-but being on the
wrong side of the political house, the peo-
ME didn't see tit to elect them.-Peoria

RG- A cotemporary pithily states the
component parts of the copperhead party
to consist of two parts OF cold fag-ends of
the old Wing party, three parts OF the de-
funct Know Nothing order, and five parts
of the corrupt and venal scrofu!a of the
Democratic hide which had rejoiced in a
long pro-slavery servility under the title
of Old Hunkers. Elements Of this sort, be-
ing essentially narrow, base and seinsh,
were, of course, opposed to every generous
doctrine, and hoping by combination 70
acquire profit, they became conservative,
in view of future spoil. 1t was their oo-
iect therefore to conserve" the DONNA
ton of the South, because they could make
bargains with it for the public crumbs and
morsels. Under this system they had al
WAYS been kept chunk" in the snug places
of the nation, and for the sake Of a contln'
uance, they willingly borrowed the nicR
name of conservative" from tory arlstoc
racy of England.
The principal SUBMITS of the White
Mountains are now covered with snow
which extends several miles down theil
sides. The houses on Mount Washington
were abandoned for the season last week
The snow was a foot deep near the build
ings, and three miles below the summit Il
was eight inches deep. Persons who as
cended the mountain after the first fall O.
snow, says the Boston Transcript, were
richly repaid by the magnificent views OBJ
tanned, and the strange contrast between
brilliancy Of the broad landscape.
