OF course the sad disaster ON the
Long Island Railroad yesterday will
provoke q spasm of popular indigna-
ton against management that leaves
q road in such condition that accidents like
this are possible, and perhaps also demand
for the more general introduction of steel rails;
but many and sad experiences warn us to
cherish no hope of permanent reformation.
The slaughter is not half great enough to
make an impression on the average of railroad
managers-to say nothing of the average OF the
travelling public.

We were very much struck by the logic oil
an Opposite of Spiritualism" who did us the
honor, the other day, to write us letter,
which we printed. GAN reformers have either
been crucified or imprisoned" said he; all
"new projects and new inventions have to pass
through the fiery furnace of opposition"
The ergo of this was what struck us as little
of a non Sequitur. Therefore, spirits come
down to have their photographs taken. We
suppose the fact that reformers have been
prosecuted and prosecuted, does not prove
that no swindlers ever set themselves up for
reformers. Personally, we know better we
have known several uncommonly loud re
formers who brought up in jail for cheating
their fellow.creatUres.
There is no man who can PROFOUND anything
so absurd that nobody can be got to believe
it. There are several rascals in this city who
profess to work miracles in the way OF heal
ing by power obtained directly from God. OF
course they are liars. And. of course. II they
are locked up for swinding, they will say
that they are prosecuted, and that they
arc like Socrates, John Huss, Ridley, and
Latimer and Calico. For all that they are
vulgar impOstors, and silly people must be
protected from them, Notwithstanding their
outerics that they are being martyrcd. III
they are right they must be content with can
onization at the hands Of posterity. t..

The new Attorney General has this advant-
age over his predecessor-he is able to put his
opinion on the Eight. Hour law into one-tenth
the space, and to make it clear enough for
astute lawyers, with proper care, to find out
which side he is on. The law itself is at best
but blind piece of work. and Mr. Evarts dis
played great skill in making 1t worse by
protracted and bewilderiDg explanations Mr.
Borle says distinctly that, no matter what the
Administration Or the law-makcrs may wish.

If Hans Breitmann had done no other service
to the world-we think he has done many
others-he would yet be entitled to everlasting
public gratitude for the arguments he has in
voluntarily furnished in behalf of an interna-
tional copyright. We we were not surprised
at the sudden popularity which the inimitabe
ballads of the philosophical hummer attained
in this country, for we knew that void had
long been aching in the midst of US,
and the humor of the Breitmann ex-
actly filed it. We were surprised, how
ever, at the instant recognition which Mr..
Leland's genius obtained in Great Britain-a
recognition so generous that sober reviews
have printed columns of disguisition upon the
philosophy of Breitmann's Party, and book
sellers are ready to break one anothers heads
for the privilege of republication. The London
journals are now burdened with controversy
between Mr.. John Camden Hotten and Mess's:
Triibner & Co., publishers of rival editions OF
the Breitmann ballads. The facts seem to be
in brief just these: Mr.. Trubner pays
ROYALTY to the author and prints
the later poems from Mr.. Lelands
manuscript, in advance of their publication IN
this country. Mr.. Hotten reprints from Amer
lean copies, gives parts OF poems as IL Iney
were the whole, and makes no remuneration
to the author He justiies his conduct by as
serting that there is no copyright to protect
Triibner's edition in law, and that the royalty
paid Mr. Leland is too Insignificant to operate
az any protection in equity. Well, here are
two excellent reasons why an international
copyright law should Ibe enacted AT present
an author is utterly without protection. Inc
offspring of his brain can be cut and
mangled, and defaced almost beyond recogni-
ton, and then given to the world labeled as
his children, and he has no remedy. And II he
finds publisher honorable enough to pay HIM
for his wares and use him like gentleman,
"the payment" as Mr. Hotten says in recent
letter to The London Star, sis almost inyari-
"ably merely nominal, because the privileges
Z" thus acquired are necessarily vague and I'M
substantial" Is there not justice enough IN
the two countries to remedy this glaring EVIL

Hope On.

The darkest cloud will vanish before the
sun, and the heaviest night give place to
coming morrow There is no grief SO
profound that it cannot be alleviated. no
sorrow so great that it cannot be lessened
no mourning SO bitter that it cannot be
turned into joy and gladness. Hope is
ever present to administer her consolation.
She lives amid trials and disappointments,
and shines the more brightly for the dark
ened atmosphere in which she dwells. She
comes unbidden to man in his low estate
as comforter and a friend. In losses
and crosses, borne upon the swift tide of
prosperity, or driven by the ebbing cur
rents OF adversely; amid the strife of
tongues, or hailed by the reclamation of
the multitude, she bids him rise superior to
all, and wait patiently the issues of an ALL
wise Provlaence. Hope on, toll on, bide
the time. God is not unrighteous to for
get the work or labor of love. He knows
all, the appointed time is in his hand. Wait
patiently for Him. ''How have 1 seen
thee" says Bishop Hall, of lifeless
stones raise up children to Abraham of
sinners, to make saints; out of desper-
ate confusion, to bring order; out of a
bloody war, happy peace; out of resolu-
tons of revenge, love; out of the rock,
waters; of prosecutor, an apostle"

A Wife's Love.

Woman's love, like the rose blossominc
IN the arid desert, spreads its ray over the
barren plain of the human heart, and
while all around it, is black and desolate,
1t rises strengthened from the absence of
every other charm. In no situation does
the love of woman appear more beauti-
ful than that of the WIFE Parents, breth-
rem and friends have claims upon the af-
fectlons-but the love of wife is dis
finct and different nature. A daughter
mag yield her life to the preservation of
parent-a sister may devote herself to
suffering brother /; but the feelings which
induce her to this conduct are not such as
those which lead wife to follow the hus-
band OF her choice through every pain and
peril that can befall him to watch over
him IN danger, to cheer him in adversity,
and ever remain unalterable at his side in
the depths ofignominy and shame. 1t is
heroic devotion which woman displays
IN adherance to the fortunes of hapless
husband. When we behold her in domes-
tic scenes, mere passive creature of en-
joyment and intellectual Joy, Frightening
the family with her endearments, and love
tor the extreme joy which that presence
and those endearments are calculated to
lmpart, we can scarcely credit that the
fragile being who seems to hold her exist
ence by thread is capable of supporting
the extreme of human suffering nay,
when the heart Of man sinks beneath the
weight of agony, that she should maintain
her pristine powers of delight, and by her
words Of comfort and patience, lead the
murmurer TO peace and resignation.

FIN ETTE.

"Finette was young, Finette was fair,
And never lover had she
Finette she cried in her young despair,
'Twere better we never should be;
The dance will g., and it inks me so,
Here by the lonely tree.
Gerome was hale, but Gerome was pale,
For a lover he tain would be-
And be would not know, though We told him so
That the maiden he chose was free;
So Gerome stood in the dusky wood,
And full wight was he.
Finette, she said, as she raised her head,
Somebody watches for me-
Gerome he said, with lofty head,
My lady is looking for me-
Gerome came one, and Finette came two,
Two little steps half way;
Gerome he sighed, and Finette she cried,
But never a tear had they.
The dance is done, but the game is won,
Merrily ends the day"

Genius.

Alexander Hamilton once said to an in
innate friend: Men give me some credit
for genius. All the genius I have lies
just in this When [ have subject in
hand, [ study it profoundly. Day and
night it is before me. I explore it in all
its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded
with it. Then the effort which make
the people are pleased to call the fruit of
genius. It is the fruit of labor and
thought
Mr.. Webster once replied to a gentle
man who pressed him to speak on a SUBJ
ject of great importance: "The subject
interests me deeply, but I have no time.
There sir" pointing to huge pile of let
tiers on the table, is pile of unanswered
letters to which I must reply before the
close of this session, (Which was then
three days off, I have no time to master
the subject SO as to do it Justice"
"But, Mr.. Webster, few words from
you would do much to awaken public
attention to it."
eff there is SO much weight in my
words as you represent, it is because l
do not allow myself to speak on any
subject until my mind is imbued with it"
The son Of Rev. Mr.. Montague, resid-
ing at Whitewater Wisconsin, was deliv-
ering a college valediotory address short
time ago, when, in taking his handker-
chief from his pocket. he pulled out pack
of cards, which fell to the floor. "Hlloa,"
he exclaimed, eve got on my fathers
coat" The worthy divine, who sat in
front of his promising son, was more con-
fused than his scion.
