Genius OF Energy.

There is no genius of life, like the ge-
MUS of energy and industry. You will
learn that all the traditions current among
very young men-that certain great char
acters havo wrought their greatness by an
inspiration, as it were, grows ont of a
sad mistake.
And YOU will further find, when you
come to measure yourself with men, that
there are no rivals so formidable as those
earnest, determined minds, which reckon
the value of every hour, and which achieve
eminence by persistent application.
Literary ambition may influence you
at certain periods, and thought of some
great name will flash like spark into
the mine of your purpose; You dream I'm
til midnight over books; you set up shad-
ows. and chase them down-other ohad.
ows, and they fly. Dreaming will never
catch them. Nothing makes the "scent
lie well" in the hunt after distinction, but
| labor.
| And it is glorious thing, when ono,
you are weary of the dissipation, and the
ennm of your own aimless thoughts, to
take up some glowing page of an earnest
thinker, and read, deep and long, unit
you find the metal of his thought tink,
ling on your brain, and striking ont from
your finty lethargy. flashes of ideas tha
give the mind light and heat. And away
you go in the chase of what tho soul with
in is creating on the instant, and 20,
wonder at the fecundity of what seemed
so crude The glow of toll wakes you t
tho consciousness of your real capacities
you feel sure that they have taken new
step toward final development. In sucl
m God it is. that one feels grateful to tn
tombs, which at hours stand like curiosi
ty-making mummies, with no warmth
and no vitality. Now they grow into af
fections like new found friends; and gail
a hold upon the heart. and light fire i
the brain that the years and the mou.
cannot cover nor quench.-Lkes Narvel.

A Beautiful Extract.

Some fifteen years ago, Rev. John N.
Maiiit, then in his prime, delivered lec-
ture which closed with the following fine
passage:
Phoenix, tabled bird of antiquity, when
1t felt the chill advances Of sge, builtsits
own funeral urn, and fred its pyre by
means which natures instinct taught.
All its plumage, and its form OF beau
ty, became ashes; but ever would arise
the young-beautifu from the urn of
death and chambers Of decay would the
fedgling come, with its eyes turned to-
ward the sun, and essaying its dark vel
vet wings, sprinkled with gold and fringed
with silver on the balmy air, raising lit
tie higher, until at length, in the full con-
fidence of fight, it gives a cry of Joy,
and soon becomes a glttering speck in
the bosom OF erial ocean. Lovely voy-
ager of earth bound on its heavenward
journey to the sun
So rises the spirit bird from the ruins
OF the body, the funeral urn which its Ma
ker built. and death frees. So towers
away to its home, in the pure element of
spirituality, the intellectual Phoenix, to
dip its proud wings in the fountain of
eternal bliss.
So shall dear, precious humanity, sur.
vive from the ashes of burning world.
SO beautiful shall the unchanged soul
soar within the disc of eternity's great lu-
miaary with undazzled eye and uncorch-
ed wing-the Phoenix of Immortality
taken to its rainbow home and craded
on the beating bosom Of eternal love.

French author ever wrote in praise of the
Bastilc. No Frenchman, so far as have
read the history of that people, ever pros
tituted his pen in calling upon his mon
arch to go on and multiply the number
of his arbitrary arrests. 1t has been re
served for more than half the intelligent
and Independent press of this free and en-.
lightened country /; a press that has been
holden up to the admiration of the world
as the defender of the right. the friend of
liberty, the champion of freedom, the
fountain Of new ideas, and the grand edu-
Gator of the people, not only to defend
the institution upon the ground of pr;n-
ciple, but to applaud each official exer-
else of irresponsible power.
But for all this, | do not suppose that
the people are yet in fit condition to be
enslaved / do not suppose that they
will be in such condition. | do not be-
lieve that they, or any part them, will
long submit to rule which is not of
themselves, and does not reflect their will
and opinions. They have been taken by
surprise. The very fact that they were
unaccustOmed to tyranny cred them
incautious respecting its approaches. -
Surrounded by circumstances to them
extraordinary and unprecedented, they
readily listened to the plea that eXtraor
dinary measures were necessary, and did
not at once see the falicy of the protense
that to preserve the liberties of the whole
it was allowable to take away the liber-
ties Of the individual. They listened to
the tryant's excuse Of necessity, in the be-
lief that it would maintain the glory of
their government, not to excuse the in
famous rascality of its administrators.
1t is we'll that the people have awaken
ed slowly and gradually to sense of the
injury that has been inflicted upon them.
But it is a mistake to suppose that all
these wrongs will not be resented and
avenged; just as certain as effect follows
cause, will the retribution occur. The
Bastile will come down, not perhaps
through being razed to the ground by an
incensed and outraged populace, bnt by
standing as despised ana dismantled
monuments of tyranny sharpened by q
sense of weakness, too blind and rotten
to discriminate between friends and enc
mics, and too headstrong and corrupt to
care for the difference. The Administra-
tion that has employed them for uses SC
base. and the party that has encouraged
and applauded its practice. will come
down. That time which, in the end
makes all things even, will do the work
without any active human agency and
as surely as the mould settles upon the
face Of the dead, so surely will lasting
memories, which added together, m AXE
infamy fall upon the names of all who
have advised or perpetuated these crimes
against liberty.

The Great West Assassinatcd.
We have often show how the policy o

we nave often snow now tne pOllcy OF
Aboitionists would assassinate every
particle of the industry and the commerce
of the Great West. The farmer of the
west and the planter of the South are the
natural allies of each other. Both are in
terested in the agriculture, and both de-
sire free trade with all the world. One
produces such as the other wants. The
negro consumes the grain, pork, beef,
&c, of the temperate latitude, and the
former consumes the cotton, sugar, DC,
of the negro. Thus n direct reciprocity
of interest exists. The Abolition Proc
lamation strikes direct blow at all this.
1t sets the negro "free." That destroys
production, and hence all the great inter-
ests of the West are assassinated at a sin
gle blow. Governor Robinson, OF Ken
tucky, secs this. and thus forebly refers
to it in his recent message. Speaking OF
Lincoln's free negro edict, he says
"And then, too, what future does il
pcseLt to the occupants of the Mississippi
Valley ! Of what value will be the use
of the great artery of our commerce
when it leads us through desolated fields
! or 10 the DaTlen agriculture vi laAy' u
norant race, who produce nothing to
tempt enterprise, aud whose sole idea OF
! liberty is to live without labor? The en-
tire upper region of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi is vitality interviewer in the de
/ feat of this monstrous edict, 1t will reach
to every farm and workshop of that vast
region. and it will destroy the best mar
ket for whatever the industry Of the peo'
pie might produce"
Was there ever palmer case of ma
tion fighting to ruin itself than is here
presented ? 1t might be supposed that
persons would be careful of property
and wealth which they had accumu
lated only by sweat and toll, but here i'
the astounding spectacle of people ac
tually Fighting to make themselves poor!
And when not only lighting to mak'
themselves poor, bnt if possible, still
more astounding, fighting to place them
selves on level pith tie niggers.- Couea

WHEN you are tempted to be discon-
tented and unhappy begin and hunt up
all your blessings; seek the corners of
your comforts as diligently as the pious
jew before the passover searches for the

yet so high, as Christ and Q crust, like
poor Sarah, give thanks and say, "All

SrABBIsG l-On Saturday night last.
William Piummer, son of DIR. J T. Plumer,
was severely. if not fatally stabbed in the
right side. by a knife in the hands of man
by the name of Marshall The facts, -
near as we can get them are,-that there
was lecture at Henry Hall. and young
Plummer was acting as doorkeeper-Mar-
shall, who was considerably under the in
huence OF liquor, wanted to GO il without
paying. and was refused, when, in trying
TO get him down stairs, be drew his knife
and struck Pummer an upward blow-the
knife entering the side and glancing on
the ribs. 1t was. at first, supposed the right
lung was perforated, but, from the symp.
toms, it proves to have been the liver. He
is 10 critical condition. Marshal has not
yet been arrested. having left town.
