Social Development.

The process of social develop

ual will, but is consequent upon
natural causes. The division Of la
Dor suhices to demonstrate this. 1t
is not because of any law or the
will of ruler that one man be-
comes a farmer, another a mechan'

doctor, q fifth a lawyer, and so on,
They have from choice early indi-
Gated, or from necessity, or local
demand for professional services or
article of manufacture, respectively
entered into their business of life.
In America it is not unusual for
sprightly and enterprising men to
follow different callings at the same
time, or to change with the exigen-
cies of their daily life and change of
location. The general rule which
governs this phase of social devel-
opment is that of demand and sup
ply. In Massachusetts there have
grown up immense cotton and
wooden manufactures and large
shoe-making establishments, which
employment to hundreds of
thousands. In Connecticut the cell

ries and cutlery establishments EN-

Snooks says the words "No
Cards" are affixed to marriage-no-
tees, because the parties played all
their cards before marriage. This
is new theory, and will be genel-

Nature, when she makes bear-

She has right to love and be loved,
And right to hate and be hated
She has right to kiss and be kissed,
And also right to be mated.
She has right to win and be won,
And a right to smite and be smitten;
She has a right to say yes or no,
And a right to give us the "mitten."
She has right to look winsome and sweet,
And a righ to laugh and be merry;
She has right to be gay and jocose,
And right to he dull and contrary.
She has q right to be silent and sad,
6 And right to be pleasant and CHEEKY
She has a right to labor and toll,
And right to be care worn and weary.
She has right to pay tax and be taxed,
And right to good education,
Butshe's deprived ofthat weapon power,
A voice in the affairs of our nation.
She has a right to comfort the sick,
And right to console the afflicted
But in letters of blood to our shame,
How sadly her wrongs are depicted.
Yes she is endowed with those rights,
That God in His goodness has given,
And right by His pardoning grace,
To blessed repose in Heaven.

THE CONTRAST.

IAN extract from Mr., Scott's Lecture on
the "Progressive Spirit of Education, -
given at Jeffersonville.l
But it were almost "treason" to
omit to notice the "signs of the
times" denoting the operation of
this Progressive Spirit in our own
land, as lately seen in the unparal-
leled civil war which convulsed our
Confederacy. A volume might be
written to show up the illustrations
here presented; but we must con-
tent ourselves on this occasion by
merely noting the fact, and contrast
ing the effects which have been pro-
duced upon our country by the sys-
tens of free schools in the North,
and the absence of such institutions
in the South. The striking con-
trast in the positions Of these two
sections of the country on the great
question of human rights-the I'm
ion, the Government and the Laws
is the legitimate result Of the diff
erence in education between them,
In the North, we find the school
house on every hilltop and in every
valley, in the forest and on the plain.
Not so in the South. In the North,
in accordance with the counsel of
the patriot, Washington, "institu-
tons for the general diffusion OF
knowledge everywhere abound.

the results? =? Freedom and patriot.

very and rebellion! In the North,
almost every man a dem0crat; in
the South. an ar5StOcrat. In the
North, every man of the masses, an
intelligent, thinking Jreemanj in
the South, almost every man in the
masses, ("de poo white trash" a
serf, an ignorant, whisky-soaked
tool in the hands of a few ambitious,
designing demagogues. In the
North, the hosts arrayed on the side
of Liberty and Equality; in the
South, on the side of Slavery-"the
chief cornerstone of the confedcr-
acy." In the North, the masses

MARK TW AIN
ON
F EMALE SUFFRAGE,

"Mark Twain" the California hu-
morist, communicates to the st.
Louis Democrat his views of wo-
manhood suffrage as follows:
I have read the long list Of lady
petitioners in favor Of female suff-
rage, and as a husband and a father
l want to protest against the whole
business. 1t will never do to allow
women to vote. 1t will never do
to allow them to hold Office. You
know, and [ know, that if they
were granted these privileges there
would be no more peace on earth.
They would swamp the country
with debt. They like to hold office
too well. They like to be Mrs,
President Smith of the Dorcas So
clety, or Mrs. Secretary Jones of
the Hindoo Aid Association, or
Mrs. Treasurer Of something or
other. They are fond Of the dis
tinction Of the thing, you know;
they revel in the sweet jingle Of the
title. They are always setting up
sanctified considerations Of all
kinds, and then running for Presi-
dent Of them. They are even so
fond of Office that they are willing
to serve without pay. But you al
low them to vote and go to the Leg
islature once, and then see how it
will be. They will go to work and
start a thousand more societies, and
cram them full Of salaried offices.
You will see a state Of things then
that will stir your feelings to the
bottom of your pockets, The first
fee bill would exasperate you some.
Instead of the usual schedule for
Judges, State Printer, Supreme
Court Clerks, &C., the list would
read something like this

You know what state of anarchy
and social chaos that fee bill would
create. Every woman in the Com
monwealth of Missouri would let
go everything and rush for State
Millener. And instead of ven
tilating each others political ante
cedents, as men do, they would go
straight after each others private
character. Il know them-they are
all like my wife. Before the can
yass was three days old it would be
an established proposition that ey-
cry woman in the State was "no
better than she ought to be-" On
ly think how it would lacerate me
to have an opposition candidate say
that about my wife. That is the
idea, you know-having other peo-
pie say these hard things.
Now, I know that my wife isn't
any better than she ought to be,
poor devil-in fact, in matters of
orthodox doctrine, she is particu-
larly shaky-but still, I would not
like these things aired in a political
contest. 1 don't really suppose
that that woman will stand any
more show hereafter than-however
she may improve-she may even

AM ERICAN
WATCHES.

We claim and are prepared to prove that the
American Watches manufactured at waltham,
Massachusetts,, are not only equal. but far supe-
rior, TO the watches Of England, switzerland and
France. We also, claim that they are CHEAPER,
MORE ACCURATE, MORE DURABLE, and
more easily kept in order and repaired than any
other watches in the market.
Because in each one of the very numerous parts
of which a watch is made up, We attain, by me-
chanical power, nearly a5solHtemathematical pre-
cision and uniformity, making every watch Of any
one style n true copy of its model.
This similarity in structure reduces tho cost OF
production; 1t secures uniformity in results; il
perpetuates and iRfdHDly diGuscs any excellence
that may be once achieved, and makes it easy to
repair any injury sustained, or replace any part
that may he lost or destroyed.
In addition to these mechanical advantages, our
Watches are simpler in structure, and therefore
stronger, andless likely to be injured than foreign
watches.
How they run under the hardest trial watches
can have, is shown by the following letters
fENNS1LN ANA hAibkOAD
OFFICE OF THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT,
ALTOONA, PA, 10Th December, 1866.
Gentlemen: The watches manufactured by you
have been in use on this railroad for several yenrs
by our enginemen, to whom we furnish watches
as part of our equipment. There are now some
three hundred of them carried on our line, and
we consider them good and reliable time keepers.
Indeed, | have great satisfaction in saying your
watches give US less trouble, and have worn and
do wear much longer without repairs than any
watches we have ever had in use on this road. As
you are awaIe, we formerly trusted to those OF
English manufacture, OF acknowledged good rep
%utation, but as u class they never kepttime as cor
rectly, nor have they done rs good service, rs
| yours.
In these statements 1 am sustained by my pre-
decessOr, Mr.. Lewis, whose experienced extended
over u series of years. Respectfully,
