Editor Of Gazette:-Too frequently
public orators seek success in bad
cause by first assuming false premises,
which, admitted to be true by their
hearers, makes bad logic and false rea-

when garnished with fine rhetoric and
rotund cnunciation, captivate and

convictions fatally detective and un-

Rev. Mr.. Blanchard, who addressed

Commerce is the trade or business Of

natural and necessary offspring OF ex-

it is tostcred at the expense OF more
solid and enduring industries, it is a

any people. suck out internal vitality
and when wars assail the nation, nothing
but disaster ensues. China and Japan

their new relations TO commerce will

An Engltshman's appreciation
Of Yankee Slang.

The perversity with which some
people adhere to the Queens English,
utterly refusing to comprehend the
modern style OF rhetoric, as found in
the terse significant phrases and SEN
tences of every day business conversa
ton, very often proves sorely trying
to the patience of those adopts in
Yankee slang and pointed apprecia-
tons. A good story is related by a
well known lake captain who has been
running Buffalo propeller for several
years past. Some time since he had
among his passengers from this city q
wealthy. honest hearted, but rather
iraschle son OF Hold Hengland," who
had but recently arrived over from
Great Britain and was going to Toledo
to visit married daughter. The day
after his arrival in that city, while ta-
king a walk about the town with Cap
tain-, he observed a lot of fine
horses on sale exhibition, and desiring
to present his daughter and son-in-law
with something in that line, he stepped
up and priced one or two OF the ami
mails. The owner immediatly stepped
up and gave him the figures.

Commenting on the dist ress now
prevailing among the Lancashire cot
ton operatives, the Lofdon Times Of
the 23 inst. says: "It would be sater
to say that Lancashire suffers from loss
OF trade more than from dearness and
scarcity of cotton. The demand for
goods is less than it formerly was
If the Americans would take our man
ufactures as freely as we take their
corn and cotton the industry would
be entirely ours and the supply of ma
terial theirs"
This is truth, every word of it; be.
ing SO, considering the nature OF the
implication, it seems little surprising
that the admission was made by the
Times.
1t is Just this one sided trade which
the friends OF Americana industry do
not wish to perpetuate, even though
by so doing they would be able to re-
lieve their Lancashire brethern, which
they would naturally like to do if it
could be done without producing SINH
lar distress al home.
Tie ma jor portion of the American
people prefer trade with foreigners
which shall be reciprocal in its tavors
rather than one which bestows them
mainly upon the people of other coun-
tries.
Theoretically, to exchange cotton in
raw state for cotton in q manutac-
turcd state would be reciprocal ex-
change OF tavors. But practically, we
all know, and the Time as well as any
of us, as between the United States
and England, the advantage would all
be on the side OF the latter. The Uni
ted States needs a market for it's sur
plus cotton, and England, whether she
wishes or not, will take the larger
portion thereof But the United
States is under no necessity to take a
single pound Of manufactured cotton
from England, because it can manuiac-
ture for itselfall that it requires
Hence, an exchange such as the Times
covets would be to make England a
clean present OF all the profits inyolv-
ed in and arising from the manufacture
Of all the cotton goods required tor
the use OF the United States.
1t would not be necessary to state
this proposition in this rudimentary
way if it were not evident that in 9TH
err quarters as we'll as those OF the
Tunes, there is considerable number
of people who have not yet dipped
even into the rudiments OF political
economy, and to them simplicity is es-
sential.
II the cotton. fields OF the South
could all be translated to the neighbor-
hood of Lancashire, the Supply of
material as well rs the ''industry
would be entirely theirs; and for the
sake of hearing the homiHcs of the
Times on the folly of adapting the
home trade to the necessities OF other
countries, it is pity such transfer
could not be temporarily made.
We fully agree with the Times that
while other countries restrict CONNER
cial intercourse by means of protec-
tive tariffs, reciprocal advantages are
impossible between them and acountry
whose fiscal policy is based upon free
trade principles. And it is because
we recognize this tact that we at all
times protest against the tree-trade
doctrines promulgated here as well
as elsewhere, and take the trouble
on this occasion to notice the childish
and at the same time selfish wall to
which that great journal his given ut

j. r. STEWART
Serious Thoughts about Euu.

1t was DR.. Holland, we believe, who
once said tha. olay is needed for men
and women as much as for boys and
girls. He stated fact which we do
not deny. But it is not true that as
much play IS needed by men and wo-
men as by boys and girls. And here
we state fact which probably none
would den and Tor which no proof is
necessary. But il any one should as
sert that school "amusementsr are al
ways real diversion, we would take to
argument. To tell the truth, there
are many persons, some teachers even,
whose convictions would tempt them
to such an assertion. 1t they would
scrutinize the dull features of boys,
who often, while engaged in rymnas
tic exercises, are looking about with
Wandering, listless eye-if they would
take the hand of girl who has gone
through a halt-hours calistbenic enjoy
ment, when perhaps her health did not
warrent her IN coming to school, and
observe her finser-tips, shrunken and
shrlyeled as though recently taken
from dish pan-they would be apt
to waver in their belief.
We have no desire for a contest,
| physical or intellectual, with any gym
mast, and we are making no effort to
topple gymnastics. Callsthenics some-
times do more tor the mental faculties
oipuPiisthan all theirtext- books. What
We would lnculcate is the necessity of
a greater proportion of actual selt-se-
lectcd diversion. That which is ra
creation and diversion TO the man, 1t
has been truly said, is ten an accu-
mutation OF fatigue for the child
Greater reliance should be placed up
on amuseinents OF his own choice than
upon exercises, motions, and even
plays, prescribed after preconcerted
plan. AT an early age, one duty can
not afford relaxation after another
duty. On the contrary, when an
amusement is imposed, it becomes a
new fatigue. Recreation and play
are necessary, but only on condition
that they must be voluntary, free from
that contention of mind winch is caus-
ed by doing thing by compnlsion, or
tor the sake OF obedience. Amusc
ment, without perfect freedom OF
choice, is void of pleasure; and it is
only pleasure which gives the charm
to amusement, and by natural reac-
ton OF the mo~al and physical ele-
ments, renders it salutary. Compel
boy to play 'hide and seek and at
tht end OF quarter OF an hour he is !
tired OF it, But had he chosen this lie
would not be tired OF i; at the end OF
two hours. Parents or teachers who |
pretend TO make the physical alternate
continually with the moral and intel
lectual education, by arranging after
their own idea the exercises OF the one !
and of the other, and who. holding the |
child by the hand, compel him to 50
round a prescribed circle. condemn hlm
also TO slavery as tedious as it Is
useless. In order to obtain a good
physical education. amusements and
plays are OF the greatest Importance
These can not be of any profit except
on two conditions, the one being as
essential as the other-pure air and
perfect ireedom.-[ Ed. Monthly, 1865
