1nose whom he designs to sue
ceed in the end by temporary failure.
There are many inst, noes to prove this
fact in Scripture, but one will SUFFICE
Joshua was not only good and great
man, but he was Inspired, and acted i'm
mediately under the direction of Heaven.
lie had been especially assigned to the
duty of extirpating the Heather from
the land of Canaan. An expedition
which he sent against the town of Ar
was repulsed, and he Immediately saw
that some great sin had been committed,
which had drawn down the vengeance of
Heaven. What it was, he knew not;
but he inquired of Heaven by prayer
and sacrifice, and was thereby enabled to
discover. He learned that Achap. the
son of Carmi, had partaken of the ac>
cursed thing, and he punished the Of
fence by cutting him off, with all his
descendants. This expiation made, he
proceeded to cancel the land and divide
it out according to the Divine command.
This day it is expected that this whole
Confederacy will PROSTATE itself in
prayer at the footstool of Omnipotence.
Let the proclamation be strictly obeyed
in that. Let aU do it. Let them pour
out their hearts to God. and repent of
their sins in sackcloth and ashes, if they
expect His favor. It will not do merely
to fast and go to church, returning to
their old habits the next day. They
must repent, and show that they do re-
pent by changing their courses. The
preachers, we hope and believe, will do
their duty everywhere. Let them de-
nounce sin everywhere, open or con-
cealed, in the strongest and most direct
terms they can think of: This is no
time to be nice. Let them preach until
every man thinks the Devil has gotten
into his pew, and is chasing him up to-
a corner of it. Let them tell the people
plainly what is the matter, that their
cause does not prosper. Let them, above
all other things, lay bare the great Ma
tional sin of money getting that has
fallen upon all classes like lerrosy.
But enough of this. Our people may
rest assured that God cannot be propi
tiated by unclean hands and impure
lips.

DE Quincy once wrote heat little
esthetic essay on "Murder Considered
as one Of the Fine Arts" Murders, he
maintained, have their little differences
and shades Of merit, as we'll as statues,
pictures, canoes and the like. The per-
formance of Cain was the first infancy
of the art, and a good many modern
murders are quite as deficient in taste,
finish and scenical grouping. This con-
noisseu1 of homicide admits that MUIR
der is dangerous, as we'll as difficult
branch, and that eff man once indulges
in murder, very soon he comes to think
little Of robbing; and from robbing he
comes next to drinking and Sabbath
breaking, and from that to incivility and
procrastination. Many man has dated
his ruin from some murder that perhaps
he thought little of at the time" He
tells of brother connoisseur who had
become gloomy and misanthropical over
the cleaver and paving-stone character
of modern murders, and looked upon
the French Revolution as the great cause
of degeneration in the science. Every
soon, sir" he used to say, "men will
have lost the art Of killing poultry; the
very rudiments Of the art will have PEI
rished"
We submit to the profession in the
North whether there is not some danger
of bringing noble service into disre-
pute by the wholesale style in which it
is now practiced. In former times, the
public taste required superb Chef
GG uure, like that of the Burdell assas-
sination, and turned up it's nose at more
blood-shedding, unaccompanied by any
exhibitions Of genius or study, as vicious
and vulgar abortions, unworthy the at
tention Of civilized community. But
now, alas! nothing satisfies it but the
hanging, or shooting, or putting to death
in some form or other. without any ro =
gard to the proprieties Of Confederate
victims. Fifteen guerrillas" taken
out and shot is the kind Of reading that
gives spice 70 a morning newspaper
"Five Confederates to be hung for
every Union man killed. The military

The Northern journals and orators
nave lavished a great variety Of affec-
tlonate epithets in describing the rela-
tlonship between North and South
Each of these epithets is significant of
klnship, for, wicked, perverse and infer
nal as we arc, We are still "estnnged
brethren" or " wayward sisters" or IRE
bellious children" or, climax of amatory
rhetoric, the Northern States are the
bridegroom, and the Southern the bride.
This symbol OF wedlock is the favorite
mode Of looking at the thing from a
Northern point of observation. The
bride,-refractory and false, of course
but still the bride, who promised to "love,
honor and obey" and said at the altar,
with all my worldly goods l thee en-
dow"
Nothing in history, in poetry, or in
fable, equals the devotion of the North
ern bridegroom to the false Southern
bride, except the inexhaustible assiduity
of Menelaus to Helen after Paris had
run away with his Incompatible spouse.
Menelaus persisting in running after
Helen, after Helen had run away from
him, is the only instance of such con-
stancy on record. But Helen, with all
her faults, was the animating soul of
great epic, and we do not wonder at the
bewildered husband walking his deserted
halls and feeding his love by gazing
upon the many statues of his truant
flame. But here the parallel comes to
halt. If Brother Jonathan had contented
himself with the moral suasion of Heleu's
husband, the peerless bride might long
ere this have been back in his loving
arms.
But Jonathan is not Of the Greeks
lie is descended from John, surnamcd
Bull. And John is not man to be tri-
fled with in marital relations. When his
wife or his donkey kicks up, he wallops
'em. Punch and Judy represent the
standard of British sentiment on that in
teresting subject. There is not as popu-
lar an exhibition in all the streets Of
London as that merry villain, Punch
Men Of all grades gather at the sound of
Punch's trumpet, but rarely women.
The best Of all jokes in the world is the
terrific cudgeling which the mirthful
tyrant administers to the luckless JUDY
and her child. 1t is Punch and JUDY,
and not Menelaus and Helen, that repre-
sent the Anglo American idea Of polit-
cal wedlock.
We have never been able to appre-
cate, however, the choice analogy Of the
Union to man end wife, the North being
the man. When did the South accept
the position Of minister angel" to
the North; when promise to endow it
with sovereignty and chattels; when
display weakness of will and effeminacy
of character It was surely not the
weaker vessel which carried through the
war of the Revolution on its broad shoul
ders, or which has for four years fought
successfully against such enormous odds.
We advise the Northern rhetoricians to
discard the wedlock symbol and recur
to the fraternal type. "Estranged bre-
thren" is a term of sufficient endear-
ment when you are knocking people in
the head and relieving them of their
pocket-books.

GROWING OLD seems but a summer since
we looked forward with eager hope to the coming
year. And now we are looking sadly back Not
that the dream has passed. but that it has been of
no more worth than those around us As the
growing hopes and ambition of early years pass
as friend after friend departs and the stronger ties
which hold us here are broken our life seems but a
bubble, glancing for moment in light, then bro
ken, and not ripple left on the stream. Forty
years once seemed long and weary pilgrimage to
tread. 1t now seems but a step. And yet along
the way are shrines were thousand hopes have
wasted in ashes footprints sacred under their
drifting dust green mounds whose grass is fresh
with the watering of tears shadows even, which
we would forget. We will garner the sunshine of
push on toward the evening, whose signal
light will soon be seen swinging where the waters
are still and the storms never beat.-T w.

!. The COFFEE TRADE,-The two principal mar
kets where Europe procures her supply of Coffee
are the Islands of Java and the Brazils The an
nual consumption on the globe is estimated, in
round numbers, at l, ,329, 900, 900 lbs, of which
di g to the Avenr Commercial, it appears that
Switzerland is comparatively the largest consumer,
the quantity being ,359 900 lbs or twelve pounds
for each inhabitant. Holland with her population
of two millions and half, drinks as much coffee
as the whole of the people of France, Belgium
lbs, and other countries ID. The consumption
in Britain in 1862 amounted to 66,450,0O0. In
several parts of Europe the use of coffee has in
creased in an extraordinary manner during the last
few years. On the other hand, the great wine
growing countries, such as Spain, Portugal, Italy
the country best suited to the cultivation of coffee
but the prior of manual labor there is enormous

PRINTERS MISTAKES the Mexican
war one of the newspapers hurriedly announced an
item of news from Mexico, that General Pillow
and thirtyseyen of his men had been lost in bot
tie lbattle). Some other paper informed the pub
lie, not long ago, that man in a brown surtout
was yesterday brought before the court on charge
of having stolen small OK (box) from lady's
work-bag. The stolen property was found in his
that the Russian Generel Backinoffkosky was
found dead with long word (sword) in his mouth
1t was, perhaps, the same paper that, in giving
description of battle between the Poles and Rus
slams, said that the conflict was dreadful, and the
enemy were repulsed with great laughter (slaugh-
ter). Again A gentleman was recently brought
up to answer the charge of having eaten (beaten)
a stage-driver for demanding more than his fare.
