Il LULL.-Aftcr the storm comes calm.
The excitement of the late political struggle is
rapidly subSiiing, and 10 few days the pubic

lights and shadows-its Citations and depres.
sions, its apitatioDs and seventies. But the
heats and vicissitudes of political warfare are
not in our judgment to be compared to the
gentle aud sodate experiences OF domestic lite,
spent in the transformations pursuits OF honest
industry, having for their aim and end the
good Of society and the acquisition Of the
means of securing individual comforts, and OF
promoting at the same time the substantial in
terests OF the community. -RterSburg Courier.
