CONTEMPLATING SUIcDE.-Horace Greeley
once intimated to another famous person in
a different line of humbuggery, p. T. Bar
NUN, to wit that he thought of terminating
his political career, at some future time by
going a-fshing for the remainder Of his life.
1t is now evident that he contemplates ter
minating his political and corporal existence
by suicide Here is the proof in the con-
GLIDING paragraph of recent letter addressed
by Mr. Greeley to the Universal Peace
Society: II apprehend that some of the
chronic enemies of peace will have to be dis
armed, possibly killed, before we can have
universal and lasting peace" The author of
this sentiment is one of those chronic enc
mics of peace" whom it is impossible to dis
ann while they are in the flesh and outside
of madhouse. The alternative is Bedlam
or death, and he seems to prefer the latter in
the shape OF suicide.

YOUNG INTELLECT AND OLD xRRoRs

II is common to deplore the illusions OF
youth upon the implied supposition that age
is peculiarly the period of penetrating per-
ceptions, comprehensive views and impartial
judgments. The fact is, however, that the
most deplorable errors are those which are
cherished by the old. Time corrects the
exuberance of the young mans hope and
imagination; but time only deepens the old
mans wrong convictions or skepticisms, the
old mans blind attachments or antipathies.
1t is remarked by clergymen that very few
conversions to religious creeds take place
after middle life. In respect to both political
and religious ideas and tendencies, the mind
is then usually fixed too firmly to
admit the probability, perhaps the
possibility of change The compass is set
for the voyage of life; the colors are nailed to
the mast If the compass point to salutary
destination, if the colors be worthy of this
extreme devotion, the inhexibility of opinion,
character, and course thus symbolized, is an
omen of the happiest import. But, suppose
the reverse Suppose a whole generation of
old men to be infexibly committed to senti-
ments and policies which tend to disastrous
issues. What could prevent this human
stream from plungips at length over the
precipice of ruin Humanity speaking, moth
ius, could avert this catastrophe except the
stout interposition of younger generation.
1t is not to the illusions or to the precipit-
ancy of youth that the political troubles,
dangers and calamities so rife of late years
in this country, are to be attributed. The
men who organized the irrepressible con-
fict," and who are still immersed in revolu-
tionary thoughts and schemes and the men
who are mentally incapable of adapting them
selves to accomplished facts of revolution,
are not of those who may be classified under
the name of Young America" of the
"Young North or "Young South" They
belong to an theological epoch of the past,
one which blended some excellent principles
and some noble aspirations with a multitude
of gross errors and pernicious tendencies.
And this epoch, fortunately, is bounded by the
life of the outgoing generation Or, at least,
it will perish along with the exit of the old
men who now personify it, unless the incom-
ing generation shall prove so recreant to youth
and lusty health as to give it a new start. But
this is hardly probable misfortune. The
young intellect of the country may be expected
to turn with natural repugnance from the hide
GUS aspects of political PHILOSOPHERS and fa-
naticisms which have been the direful springs
of the unnumbered evils which have befallen
this republic. The country has almost come
to wreck through old follies and old hates, old
beliefs and old despairs. 1t must be saved
through the fresher intellect. the healthier
patriotism, the larger hope of the young

THE LounIANA NATURAL GAS CoxPANY.-We
invite the attention of the readers of the CREs-
CENT this morning to the charter and election of
officers of the above named company, which will
be found in another column. The great discovery
that an Illuminating gas pervaded the whole sub
strata Of this section of the State, made few
months since, Is the basis upon which this com
pany has been formed. lis objects are to make
this discovery available for general benefit and
its own profit; and in our opinion its stock will
prove one of the best investments Of capital to
be found in this country. But. aside from the
mere matter of profit to the stockholders, we be-
leve that the early development of the discovery
will result in vast benefit TO our people, by
placing at their disposal light and fuel far cheaper
than was ever found before. We therefore deem
II duty incumbent upon all to foster this COM
pany and to leave no stone unturned in advanc-
ing the utilization of the discovery. A careful
perusal of the charter Of the companyis therefore
advised.

A LUDICROUs SCENE- TtCO Young Ladies IN a
FLA udicrOus scene occurred within thou
sand miles of Indianapolis, not a great while ago,
at least not long enough TO be forgotten. Two
young ladies were visiting another young lady 4,
their COUSIN. The three were fond Of jokes, aud
continually playing them OF on each Other. Ga
the night in question, two OF them attended a
party, from which they returned at half past IL
O'Clock. The third one lem lined ST home, and.
to avoid disturbing her-fOr the three slept in
the same bed-and others in the house, they en-
tered through the window. Here q difficulty
occurred caused by the tact that. after they had
left home, young minister arrived on a visit He
was given the room occupied by the young ladies,
and the one who remained at home sat M to iu-
form the others that different apartments had
zen assigned TO them.
She waited in the psror for that purpose, but
unluckily Tell asleep, and as the two young ladies'
did not come in by the door, but stepped into
their own room by the window. she slept on.
When the two others entered they saw Fanny's
figure as they supposed, in bed, but we're puz-
zied also 10 see BY the bedside pair of boots.
The truth flashed upon them both at once. They
saw il all. Fanny had set the boots in the room
TO give them good scare. They put their heads
