perform his duties as q citizen. Without
knowledge man is but an overgrown child, in
capable of shaping important events, distrust-
ful of himself in emergencies, and dependent
upon others for what he himself should be able
to supply.
What pleasure is deducable from wealth
that surpasses the enjoyment incident to the
learned mans efforts to add to his store of
knowledge? The man who spends his spare
time in Furnishing his intellect and increasing
his knowledge, enjoys himself much more than
does he who interests himself only in acquir-
ing riches, and considers the opportunity Of
piling greenback upon greenback the weight
of blissful pleasure.
Money is not the representative of pleasure,
but of commercial value, upon which mans
happiness should not at all depend. Riches does
not necessarily add to ones store ofhappiness,
but often detracts therefrom, while knowledge
is at all times enjoyable. Riches are transtory,
uncertain, and can take to themselves wings
and fly away. Knowledge is substantial, dura-
bic, and of commanding value.
Wealth does not always command for its pos
SCISSOR respect. A wealth Of knowledge does.
Pecuniary investments are oftentmes unprof-
table. Not so with investments of knowledge.
1t adds to itself daily in principal and interest,
and happy is the man who contributes most to
his cultivated store.

portion to the wealth of the individual, should
be advanced and instilled into man. He should
be made to comprehend that money is but
convenience, not a pleasure, nor necessarily an
attribute thereof They should, moreover, be
instructed in the fact that knowledge can much
easier purchase wealth than wealth can acquire
knowledge And also that more genuine pleas
ure can be derived from the reading of papers,
magazines, historic works, &C., by the student
in the pursuit of knowledge, than can otherwise
be enjoyed by the man or men who counts his
or their wealth by hundreds of thousands. All
true pleasure and profitable enjoyment is the
offspring of knowledge. That which does not
connect itself with the intellect is not real.
Wealth cannot stay the hauds of death, nor i'm
pede the progress of Father Time. 1t cannot
purchase true contentmelt, ncr make bright
scared conscience A cultivated intellect,
though in brain of a plebian, gives to its pos
SCISSOR a fund from which enjoyment can at all
times be derived on demand All hail the day
when men will work as eagerly in pursuit of
knowledge as they now do for wealth.

DAN MUM TO THE RESCUE.

The Democrat of yesterday morning has
canned Dan Mum to throw himself into the
breach and pick up the glove thrown him by
that sheet. Dan is clever fellow and possess
es considerable ability, but shows great
weakness in noticing the yelping of the Demo-
crut cur, and gratifying its desire for some re-
spectacle individual to give it kick.
Dan evidently has "copperhead on, the
BRAIN Like unto the genius who presides over
the columns of the Union, he does not attempt
to was his tongue nor use his pen in defaming
MFR. Green's social character legal fitness for
the position of Judge. Upon the contrary,
Dan admits that the first is irreprcachable, and
that his legal qualifications are ample, and
frankly acknowledges that it is wholly political
considerations which induces him to oppose
| the election of Mr.. Green to the office for
which he is a candidate.
But Dan will find asto 10 Loves labor lost
to convince any man in~ this Judicial District
that the Hon. W. II. Gresn is a traitor, or ever
entertained an emotion II ecepmon with trail
tors Senator Yates, when Governor of this

party, in framing committee to proceed
to Canada upon important business
during the progress of the rebellion, placed
Mr.. Green upon said committee. Would he
have done so had he entertained even suspic.
ion that Mr. G. was disloyal? Gov. Yates is
man of strong political preiudices, and had he
entertained even a suspicion as to Mr.. 6. 's
soundness and patriotism, he would never have
placed him on such committee. There were
Mr. G's loyalty, but not having the records al
hand we are unable to provide them to day.
