know not how men without religion
get along in the world. It must not
only be hard, but hopeless. Continually
there are sorrows for which the earth
has no recompense. Here a man is sac
rlhced. The world gains, does it? 1t is
the mans loss. Arnold Won WinlIel-
reid takes n sheaf of Austrian spears in
his bosom, breaks thereby the Austrian
ranks, the swift tide of freedom fIows
through, and Switzerland is free. Win
kelreid is dead, his hreside chair is
empty, all night. the dog howls for his
Ipaster, the wife is n widow, his babes
tatherless. What recompense- is there
on earth? For Hebrew Jesus, for Ro-
man Regulus, for .Athenian Socrates,
the world has no compensation. Here
is one born SO that education is impOs-
sible; want makes him clown. This
girl is the victim of circumstances; the
worlds hardness makes her short life
one long blush of infamy. The powers
of human nature were born in her, she
was made for heaven; but the vices of
society nipped them i'll the bud, and
made her u hRrlot. Earth has no re-
compense. What compensation is there
to the slave for his bondage? to the
patriot who dies, and sees Turkey, Italy,
Hungary, France die with him? Earth
answers not. What compensation is
there for the blind2 Earth has none to
show. What for the deaf? The world
gives no answer. What for the fool i?
Wisdom knows it not. The cOmpensa-
ton, the joy for their discipline, must
come i'll the eternal world. / know
not how; the fact am sure of. That
one and one make two is not clearer TO
me. / am not more certain of INV own
existence. 1t follows from Gods in
finity.
God left us free little, one hand
winged with freedom, the other bound
by fate. But his infinite providence,
infinite love, must so oVerrule the world
that no man shall suffer absolute ill
What is not compensated now, hereaE-
ter God himself will pay. Our next
condition must depend, not on our own
circumstances here, not on the acciden-
tai virtue or vice which these circum-
stances make, but on the use ourselves
have made of our gift and our opportu-
nifty and though the little that we gain
may be so little that men despise it and
count it vile, God treasures ii up, and
will bless us for that. Few men know
how much may be doue in the midst OF
circumstances that seem evil. We may
make minimum of sorrow out of u
maximum of adverse conditions; yea
! ity out of minimum of opportunity
and gift. 1t is an immense advantage
to know the souls immortality, and be
sure of eternal life to know the intin-
I ite perfection of God, and be certain
that the Great Mother folds us in heI
arms and will bless us forever. The
/ greatest practical thing is to get the dis.
! cipline out of the world, its Joy and its
sorrow. 1t is IA hard world, is it? One
f. day we shall thank God for its hard.
ness, and bless him for its sorrow.

SERVANTS BALLs.-The Queen has
annually been in the habit of giving n
ball at Balmoral To her tenants and de-
pendents, which is conducted on nearly
the same principle as that of the dance
at Benusejaur-no respect of persons, no
difference between u Lord and his re-
tainers. And what the Queen, surrOun-
ded by her court, does, that also many
of the great houses throughout the coun-

like that ut Beausejaur, is arranged
every fortnight. One of the ladies' of
the family, whenever she is at home,

ages about the house. She takes care
to give him good spin down the room,
and has the pleasure of hearing him ut

The n. y. Evening Post remarks upon
the striking fact that all our fighting gem
erals are against the military govern
ment OF. the South, while that policy is
earnestly advocated by the prominent
politicians, and sets forth some of the
leading objections to military rule as
follows -
Beyond the simple fact of holding
uneasy, itreacherous, violent men to
their duty of submission to the laws,
which is the original and sole purpose
of military rule they our commanders
would have no more oft; for, like eve
rything else good and useful in its place.
when it has answered its ends, it ought
to cease. Some of our politicians are
not so wise as these experienced SOL
dierS. They would have the military
rule continued over the whole southern
country, not because there is need of it
TO keep down the insurrection, not be-
cause the armed violence has not every
where subsidized, but becOuse theywish to
accomplish certain political designs,
preliminary to n resumption of the old
political ties. Or, in palmer language
than this they wish to use the military
arm TO impose opinions, sentiments,
laws, which is the most despotic use
that can be made of force. 4 greater
mistake, to say the least of it, could not
be committed. 1t is to postpone ignor-
anty the very object many of them
aim ut, which is the regeneration of the
| social system as well as of the moral con-
j.victions of the South. Keepthe people
whom you have defeated in subjection,
and You keep them sullen, discomfort
ed and despairing; you discourage nll
movement and enterprise; you deepen
and indurate all their old enmities in
la word, you cmbitter their rancofs
while you smite their energies. But
grant the same people, under n few sim
pie and necessary restraints, all the
benefits of n liberal and enlightened
policy, and yOu reverse this effect; YOU
call forth their ambition, their activity
and their skill, and you soften their
! prejudices until the old love of kindred
and Fellowship iusensibly returns.T

last degree in all the relations of life not having
