FITFUL REVOLUTIONS 4

Twenty years ago was memorable in Eu-
rope as the year of revolutions. In Feb
raary, lS4o, occurred the abdication of
Louis Philippe. followed by the establish
ment Of the republic. Inaimost every part
lof Europe the influence Of this revolution
was at once felt. Paris at this period was
not only France. itwaslh Continent. In
Italy, Rome, Austria, Prussia, and the les
ser States of Germany the people every
where rose ahd overturned their govern.
ments, ~ some cases almost without an ef-
FORT. The utmost enthusiasm was excited
IN the, United States, where it was believed
that republics were going to succesd mon
archies throughout the whoIe of the old
world, butalter brief interval these hopes
we're disappointed. Society settled back
10 its old forms almost as rapidly as it had
thrown them of. The bubble of the French
republic, blown by few literary and poll
ticals gentlemen in Paris, proved too fragile
for long continuance. In 1851, the Prince
President. Louis Napoleon, wiped out its
last yestige, and afterwards, by a little
skillful force in the, beginning, obtained
the consent Of France to become Emperor.
II may be well TO bearin mind the events
lof 1878 and their political conseduehce,
before We indulge 10 building air castles on
the indications which are alleged to exist
that Europe is once more on the verge of
revolution. and that the ball Of republican
ism Is likely TO be opened By the trump of
the Spanish insnrrection. Experience does
not warrant Us in being saBguine of any
permanent liberal results following abrupt
Transitions from vossalage to freedom. The
faculty .ot otselt-guYernment is plant of slow
gfawlh. requiring centuries OF nurture and
training before il lbecomes matured and self
seliant. The immense military armaments
oil Europe at the present time render this
