SELF MADE MEM.

Is there not good deal ofnonsense in much
of the talk we hear in all quarters about "self-
made men?" All men are self-made, if made
at ALL There is no royal road to learning, o.
to any durable greatness or distinction. Pa
tient, long-continued application, is the only
process which viii produce scholar; and
it really makes less difference than is suppos-
ed whether man devotes himself to individu-
al culture outside or inside the walls of col
leye. Whatis called sliberal education" that
Is, a college course, advantages only where in
dustry and energy has made it thorough, and
the faculty of adaptation has made it practical.
In this country, where the rudiments of edu-
cation are within the reach of all, where books
are cheap, and every path ia open, talent and
industry united cannot fail to command sue
cess. There really seems no special merit in
being self-made man, when men may make
themselves. so easily. Yet the expression she
lis self-made man" is constantly used in pal
liation Of all sorts of deficiencies and imper-
fecticns. A great many Of our selfmade men
seem to have been left unfinished, as if the
work had been done by some of Nature'l
jou-neymen, and not done well. In fact many
men rather appear to pride themselves on be-
ing little in the rough, as if the mind lost
power by culture. Does block Of marble lose
any strength by being polished?
Many able and powerful men have lacked
culture, but the lack took from, it did not ado
to their power. David Crockett was mar,
perhaos, ofas marked and powerful an indvid-
ualty as Daniel Web ter; but the influence Of
the laster--a really seRmade man, by the way
was Of intellectually greater force and reach,
simply because of culture. The finished elo-
quence of Chaplin is more effective than the
heavy rude bolts which Parson Brownlow is
accustomed to hurl forth. These rough speci-
man, may be very well in their way; but they
sre bad models for imitation. The American
young man who aims at distinction may east
ly be TOO fine, but it is notpossible for him to
be too finish d. In this country the man who
claims to be se!f-mGde should not make that
his excuse for not being ,ceIt-mdde.

HANa1na OF rHr AssAssrrs.

While copperhead papers are laboring to
excite Indignation against the government
for SO summarily executing the Washington
assassins, after their long and thorough trial
and just conviction, and while they are par
ticularly active in trying to create doubts o
the guilt of the wicked woman who was
brought to the seaaold, the Unicerse, Catho-
lie paper in Philadelphia, says: aias Prs
Give have read the trial with correct judg-
ment, the hanging and imprisoning were de-
served and five do not mistake the public
feeling, there is a universal approval of the
way in which things have been brought to a
close The evidence of the Presidents murder
is not clearer than that the condemned were
real conspirators and abettors IN il; and the
nation Is too just not to ratify the sentence
pronounced upon them. So much for unjusti-
fable treason and for foul deed of blood
done in its interest? We regret that there
was woman in the tragedy; and that that
woman was a Catholic. But when women
conspire and abet treason and murder, and 81
lence the teachings ofthe Church in their own
hearts, nothing can be said in their defence.

TIE q F1RsEaRDMnN OF Ark ANsAs.

A Washington correspondent of the Boston
Adoertise,' says: ~ rs.
One Of the inspectors of General Towards
bureau who is travelling in Arkansas writes
that in the Little Rock district about four
thousand freedmen are employed under orders
from the War department that first-class men
receive from twenty-five to fifty dollars per
month, and irSt-class women from fifteen to
eighteen, one half of which is paid every two
months, and the balance at the end of the
year; that two thousand of them are employ
ed by the forty-three lesses of abandoned PLAN
tations at these figures; that very harmonious
relations exist between the freedmen aud their
employers that the negroes are generally con-
tent; that the lesses complain that the rate of
wages they pay the freedmen, is higher than
is paid anywhere else in the Mississippi Valley.
and so high that their cotton will cost them
from twenty to twenty-five cents per pound
before being ready lor market, and that they
Will not make any thing on the crop; that
there are about one thousand freedmen at
work for citizens of Little Rock; that larre
numbers are working for themselves, at rern1-
neratiye wages; that the colored people are
building two school houses in the place: that
there i abundant work for all who are able To
labor; that fair wages are generally paid: and
finally, that the condition Of the freed neonle
in Arkansas is probably better than in anv
other section of the country.

A PLaA Foa a oAPrrHH.

Passing along the street the other day, we
heard plaintive MARBLE and the fiutter of lit
tie wings, and looking up beheld, suspended
from pleasant balcony,a gaily painted cage
containing solitary bobolink. Think of it,
a caged bobolink in summer timcl With the
warm sunshine wooing him, and the odor of
hay-feids sweeping to him over the city roofs,
and the memory Of poisoning orchards, and
swinging elm-boughs, and his own nest in
the clover fed haunting his bird memory, and
yet to beat his wings all day against the wires
of his prison,-it looked hard. Ifhe had been
some dull canary that knew nothing of green
fields, and never tasted the sweets of freedom,
we might not have given him thought, but
this merriest, gayest of summers feathered
vagabonds in such vile duress, it was quite an
other thing, We felt tempted to give him
then and there, the benefit of an irregular ha-
beas corpus, to open his cage door and bid
him fly; but lacked the moral courage to car
ry out such plan. So we suppose he is still
pining in captivity, but we are at loss to i'm
agine why he should be kept there. 1t can
not be for his music, for he has no heart to
sing. All he can do is just to beat helplessly
ms imprisoned wings against the bars, and
wonder what he is shut up for, Not long
should ne stay there five had our way; and
70 the man or woman, girl or boy who claims
70 DC MS owner, we here present our humble
petition that he may straightway be set at
libarty.
