LCtter from Rev. Henry
Ward I3eGcher.

[Rcv. Henry Ward Boccher, in the
following letter, takes a position which
deserves the careful consideration of ev-
cry man who has the welfare Of the
freedmen at heart. Mr.. Bcecher has
devoted his life to the anti.slavery cause,
aud has ever been a shining light
among Republicans. To that portion
Of them who are honest in their anxiety
to have the negro protected from yio-
lonce, and DO not use him only as hob
by, this letter affords food for reflection.
lie contends that immediate restoration
Of the Southern States brings with it
law and order, and is demanded by the
interests Of the freedmen. That exclu-
sion from representation necessarily and
naturally produces irritation, discomfort
aud disquiet, which exhibits itself in
riots and in the cruel and lawless acts of
violent men. That the existence Of the
negro element among them being the
apparent cause Of their exclusion from
participation in the government, upon
this element falls the weight Of these
disorders. We give his own words j

CYRUS w. Field.

We hope we do not violate confidence in
stating fact to the honor of a New York
merchant, which, though private transac-
ton, ought to be known. Our fellow citi-
zen, Mr.. Cyrus W. Field, whose name will
always be connected with the Atlantic tele
graph, has twice nearly ruined himself by
his devotion to that enterprise. Though a
man of independent fortune when he be-
gan, he embarked in it so large portion of
his capital as nearly to make shipwreck of
the whole. While in England, engaged in
the expedition of 1857, financial storm
swept over this country, and his house sus-
pended, but on his return he asked only for
time, and paid all in full with interest,"
But the stoppage was a heavy blow, and be-
ing followed by fire in 1859, which burned
his store to the ground, and by the panic of
December, 1860, just before the breaking
out Of the war, he was finally obliged to
compromise with his creditors. Thus re-
leased, he devoted himself to the work of
his life, which he has at last carried through.
The success Of the Atlantic telegraph we are
happy to learn, has brought back portion
OF, his lost wealth, and his fist care has
been to make good all losses to others. -
lie has addressed letter to every creditor
who suffered by the failure of his house in
1860, requesting him to send statement of
the amount compromised, adding the inter-
est for nearly six. years, and, as fast as pre-
scented returns a check in full The full
amount will be about 100000. -Erentag

The Philosophy of Long life.

But few Men die of age Almost all die
of disappointment, passional, mental, or of
bodily toll, or of accident. The passions
kill men sometimes, even suddenly. The
common expression, schOked with passion,
has little exaggeration in it tor even though
not suddenly fatal, strong passions shorten
life. Strong bodied men often die young
weak men live longer than the strong, for
the strong use their strength, and the weak
have none to use. The latter take care of
themselves, the former do not. As it is
with the body so it is with the mind and
temper. The strongare apt to break, or
like candle, to run" the weak out
The inferior in animals, which live, Ill
general, regular and TEN pcrate lives have
generally their prescribed term Of years.
The horse lives about twenty five years :;
the OK fifteen or twenty; the dog ten or
twelve the lion, We are told, about twenty;
the rabbit eight The duration Of life in
all these bear similar prop triton to the
time the animal takes to grow to its full
size. But man of all the animals. is the
one that seldom comes up to his average.
He ought to live hundred years, accor-
ding to this physiological law but instead
of that he scarcely reaches, on the average,
four times his growing period the cat six
times; and the rabbld even eight times
he-standurd of measurement.
The reason for all this is obvious Man
is not only the most irregular and the most
incorporate, but the most laborious and
hard working of all animals. He is also
the most irritable Of animals land there is
reason to- sbelieve-though we cannot tell
what an animal secretly feels-that, more
then any other animal, man chcri>heS wrath

the fire of secret reflections Besides this.
man is the only animal that makes wide
departure from those laws Of nature which
control life. He takes on unnatural and
health destroying habits carrying them to
the verge OF the grave, and clinging to
them with tenacity wi ich yields not even
to his better judgment. The lower order
of animals never do this. Instinct is their
guide, and the superior duration Of life they
enjoy is proof Of the folly Of mun.

The Printer and his Type.

The following beautiful extract is from
the pen of Benjamin Z. Taylor, the printer
poet:
Perhaps there is no department Of enter
prise whose details are less understood by
intelligent people than the art OF preser-
,vative, the achievement of types.
Every day their life long, they are accus-
toned to read the newspaper, and find fault
with its statements, its arrangements, It's
looks: to plume themselves upon the dis
coyery OF some rogueish and acrobatic type
that gets into frolic and stands upon its
head or of some waste letter or two in it
but of the process by which the newspaper
is made, OF. the myriads of motions and the
thousands of pieces necessary to Its compo-
sition, they know little and think less.
They imagine they discourse Of a wonder,
indeed. when they speak of the fair white
carpet, woven for thought to walk on, of the
rags that futtered On the back Of the beggar
yesterday.
But there is something more wonderful
still. When we look at the hundred and
ffty-two little bnxeS. somewhat shaded with
the touch of inky fingers, that compose tbs
printers case noiseless, except the
clicking of the types, as one by one they
take their places in the growing lihe-we
think we have found the marvel of the art.
We think how many fancies in fragments
there are in the boxes, how many atoms of
poetry and eloquence the printer can make
here and there, if he had only alittle chart
70 work by, how many facts in small
handful, =" how much truth in chaos.
Now he picks up the scattered elements
until he holds in his hands a stanza Of
"Gray's Elegy." or monody upon Grimes
puppy missing and now Paradise
Lost - he arrays bride in .'small caps,
and sonnet in 'nonparcil;' he announces
the languishing Give, - in one sentence =
transposes the words and deplores the days
that are few and ''evil' in the next
A poor jest ticks its way slowly into the
pfinter's hands, like clock just running
down, and strain Of eloquence marches
into the line letter by letter. We fancy we
can tell the difference by hearing by the ear,
but perhaps not.
The type that told a wedding yesterday
| announces burial to morrow-perhaps the
same letters
They are the elements to make world of
those types are world with something in
it as beautiful as spripg, as rich as summer
and as grand as autumn flowers that frost
cannot wilt Fruit that shall ripen for all
time.
The newspaper has become the log book
of the age 1t tells at what rate the world
is running we cannot find our 'reckoning"
without it.
True, the green grocer may bundle up a
pound of candles in our last expressed
thoughts, but it j. only coming to base uses,
something that is done times Vulnerable
We console ourselves by thinking that
one can make of that newspaper what he
cannot make of living oaks-a bridge for
time, that he can fling over the chasm of
the dead years and walk safely back upon
the shadowy sea into the far past. The
singer shall not end his song, nor the soul
| be eloquent no more.

Then people are MOI afflicted with those
grievous caiamities which uuhappily weigh
npon them wheresoever religion aud It's
doctrines are not recognized. BY the de-
plorable facts, related, summary and with
pain, and by the sad temporary events in
Italy, everybody can easily see and divine
to what great perils this apostolic see is ex-
posed, and how it is the mark of the most
bitter threats of rebellion, the hatred of the
unbelievers, and the anger of the enemies
of Christ cross. On every side are contin-
ually heard frenzied voices which find an
echo in our desperate enemies. declaring
that this city of Rome must share in this
unhappy italian perturbation aud rebellion
nay, must become its capital. But God,
who is rich in mercy, viii. by his-emnipo-
tence. make the impious councils and de-
sires of our enemies fall. He will never
permit the noble city, so dear to US, IN
which, out of His great and singular good
ness, He has fixed the char OF Peter. the
impreguable basis of his divine faith and
religion, to return 60 that unfortunate con
dition so admirably described by our holy
predecessor, Leo the Great, in which she
found herself. when, for the first time, the
holy prince Of the apostles entered this city,
then mistres ofthe world. As to US, when de-
prived of almost all human assistance, faith
full still to our mission, and coDfiding abso-
lutely in the aid of Almighty God, we are
ready to combat without fear, even to the
peril of our life. for the cause of the church,
divinely con6ded to us by the Lord
Jesus Christ, and if it need to be to remove
thither, where We shall be able to exercise
in the best manner our supreme apostolic
mission And seeing that In such horrible
tempestour support rs prayer, we address
ourselves to all the venerable brethren bish

the Catholic clergy and to all the children
of the holy mother church, who have never
ceased to lavish on us such striking eviden
ces of love and respect, to come to our aid
in our greatest trial and those of the Holy
See. We beg of them more and more con
stanty, with faith, hope and charity, and
fervent prayers to God, for the defeat OF
the enemies of the church, and their return

seves of the words of Clrysostum, prayer
