THE USES OF HABIT.

There. has been much declaiming on the
part of certain school of philosophers a.
gainst the propriety of allowing the mind
to run in a groove; or, in other words, to
acquire any particular habit of thought.
Ali habits, say these declaimers. are bad
There are no good habits. No man should
do anything from mere force of habit is to
prevent thought and to- open the door for
error in reasoning. It cramps the mind
within limits beyond which it cannot ex-
pand. and thus becomes an obstacle to
healthy growth. -
We regard these views as false in the
extreme, and propose to devote q brief
space to the presentation Of the uses Of
habit, meaning, of course. good habit.
We assert that all experiences is the re-
suit of persistent habit. Perhaps this
proposition can be best illustrated by ex-
amples Of manual expertness. One of the
most striking Of these examples is the skill
acquired 10 musical execution. At first
the beginner finds the process of produc-
ing the various tonss on an instrument in
their proper sequence aud length, very
slow and painfully fatiguing. But by
dint of long and arduous practice. be
comes to point where the fingers move
by mere habit. without any sensible effort
Of bis will. Indeed. the habit Of doing
what he has to do right. becomes 50 strong,
that to attempt to do it wrong, would be
almost as painful and tedious as his first
attempt to acquire the proper method.
So in the performance of all kinds ol
mechanical work. dexterity is only to be
acquired by habit formed by continuous
practice. These facts seem so obvious iu
connection with manipulation, that it sp-
pears strange they should be disputed
when applied to mental operations, or mo-
raj impulses.
As in manual operations certain Sc
quence and order, strictly followed, will
enable the operator to perform each detail
with greater facility and accuracy. and SO
shorten the time expended in reaching the
desired result. as we'll rs make the result
more perfect. SO proper method gives ra-
pidity and accuracy to thought. A mind
trained to thiuk methodically is mind
which has acquired habits Of thought.
This methodioal thinking is absolutely
indispensable to success in many profess
sions. of which We may cite ''law" - one
conspicuous example.

A LETTER FROM ALEXANDRIA.

ALEXANDRIA,, VA, Feb. 4, 1871.
To the Editor of the Port Tobacco Times:
By reference to paper before me I
see your good old county has population
of 16. SIT, and contains LOG, 338 acres of
improved land, and 1854 acres unim-
proved, and that you are only twenty-five
miles from Alexandra. With many of
your citizens we have been connected by
business and social intercourse, but we
are assured that the far greater portion of
your people have little business relations
with our city. After the completion of
your railroad we will cease to talk about
miles and measure distance by time; we
will then say Alexandria is one hour from
Port Tobacco. In view of such changes,
we feel greatly inclined to have more
intimate acquaintance. and ask to be al
lowed to introduce business.
Our city is handsomely situated on the
west bank of the Potomac. The streets
are paved and laid out on the plan of Phi
ladelphia, crossing each other at right
angles. Its climate is healthy and the
view from the city and its surrounding
hills is very fine. The Potomac at this
point is mile in width, and varies from
30 te1 so feet in depth. Its harbor is
naturally very fine. and is we'll supplied
with large and commodious wharves, al
which the largest merchant and war ships
can safely lay. Alexandria is five miles
south of the city of Washington, and has
hourly steamboat and railroad communi.
cation with the capital. The facilities
afforded by the Alexandra and Washing.
ton railroad, and the fine steamers, of the
Potomac Ferry line. enable a large mum.
ber of persons engaged in the public ser.
vice, and other employments. in the city
of Washington. to reside in this city
where the expense of living is much les,
than at the Federal Capitol.

State. It entails loss upon cur citizen
fishermen at the hands and to the benefit
Of strangers, who carry off the entire pro-
ceeds thus wrested from our own people,
which would otherwise be left as circu-
lating medium to the great advantage of
the individual and business interest of our
entire community. 1t is injurious to the
great body of the people who are depend
ent upon the shore -seines tor their supply
of fish. of which the quantity and quality
are largely reduced and the price greatly
augmented. So that what once was and
would again be the cheapest and most a.
bundant article of food has been made
scarcity, and, as some have said, almost
luxury. But, by far, the most disastrous
consequence is yet to be mentioned: the
injury to the propagation of fish by the
destruction of spawn. 1t is easy to see
that if this ruinous and extensive system
is followed much longer. the great value
of the Potomac as fishing ground must,
in the end, be destroyed. Surely some
thing can be done to prevent this. Let
the Governor and Legislature be again
beseiged, and again. till some action is
taken in this grave matter. If the ques-
ton of jurisdiction between Maryland and
Virginia is still undecided. let it be ad-
justed. Let the subject be brought be-
fore the Governor by some of our most in
auential citizens and let him be persuaded
to confer with the Virginia Legislature.
now in session, to the end that. this ques-
ton be finally settled, (if lot already so.
aud, if so, that some concerted action in
the premises be had. 1t is nothing less
than shame and a reproach upon the
executive and legislative authorities of the
two States so vitality interested that this
destructive. plundering, piratical system
is allowed such gross and unlimited sway
And what are the advantages to be weigh
ed against the evils? While thousands
are materially injured not one is benefit
ted save some Of the rovers and few in
dividuals. scattered along the shores, who
encourage these piratical incursions by
renting the intruders huts for berths.-
These renters are, of course. warm advo-
Gates Of these unjust enterprises, and en-
ploy every means at command to keep
them alive, not caring how the great mass
es fare SO they gather in little pelf from
the despoilers. If citizens only of the two
States were engaged in this business the
impositions mi ght be more patiently borne,
but not so when strangers, aliens. inter-
lopers are permitted to swarm upon and
block up our waters and carry off their
treasures with impunity.

Attention to Details.

The Richmond WA;y says it must be
confessed that dislike. approaching even
to disgust, for details has always been a
prominent defect In Southern character.
The general has too much prevailed over
the particular in all that pertained to do
nestle interests. This was more or less
the case formerly. perhaps. in our own a
we'll as other Southern States. Federal
relations would attract more interest than
agricultural, commercial and professions
affairs. II is remarkable thst while more
was heard Of State rights ID the South
than elsewhere. the chief aim Of its politi,
cal ambition Was directed 70: : national
arena. and that whilst less was: heard II
the North OF State rights. and more Of ths
glory and greatness Of the nation, most z, q
it's leading men devoted themselves tt
professional pursuits. and to commercial,
manufacturing and industrial development
of their own section. The consequence
was that while the nation aourished under
the guidance Of Southern statesmen. theiI
own States, which occupied so much more
diguifed place iu their theory than their
practice. lost ground materially. and. ~
a. consequence. politically whilst the
North. directing its energy 70 its own de-
velopment. grew strong and great, and
by attending faithfully to its private and
local interests. gradually obtained the con-
troll of those which were general.
The salvation Of the South now depends
upon correcting the injurious tendency Of
former times to look to some grand politi.
cal panacea as the remedy for its woes,
and practicing upon the simple truth E.
nunciated by the Richmond Wing. that
..solid national wealth is the offspring Of
individual exertion." and that individual
exertiou, to be successful, must be systc-
matte and devoted to particulars % we'll
as to the general. The varied agriculture
appropriate to Virginia and Maryland. in
grain growing. tobacco, fruits. &C., and
the adaptation to msnufactufes. specially
call for particular and careful detail. In
the enterprises Of peace as in those Of war.
the most successful are those who, while
they are able to grasp and handle great
and comprehensive schemes, do not neg
lect the most minute points. In the or
dinary vocations Of life no capacity for
great things is required, but there is none
in which attention to that which is partic-
ular is unimportant. What is it that
makes the respectable Northern man CON-
ing to the South, even to Maryland, ID
engage in legitimate pursuits. succeed'sc
we'll, but the unwearied assiduity and pa.
tienc4Rith which he busies himself with
the material interests in detail which liz

But perhaps in no field Of study is it Of
greater importance than in invention and
this brings US directly to the main objec-
ton urged against habit in thought.
namely. that it is q foe to originality. We
take direct issue on this point, and assert
that, on the contrary, it is the very basis
of originality in so far as originality. is
useful or desirable. a,,,..s ,..-s.syor,. i;
!. The originality that is desirable. in lite
|rature, in invention. in the arts, is en-
|ployment Of elementary, principles in new
combinations. We may refer to music
again for an illustration Of this point. =
The elementary. combinations. are repre-
|sented by the exercises upon which the
pupil is required to devote his practice.
These exercises comprise difficult combi-
nations, elements Of composition which,
in themselves are dry and .unpleasing.
but which. combined in various ways. are
formed. in the compositions Of the great
masters. The elements being acquired
BY practice, the originality appears in the
combination Of them into new and melodi-
Gus arrangements.
So in invention, new device always
consists of novel arrangements Of ele-
ments previously known. An original
thinker, worthy Of the name. is one who,
while he perhaps explores new fields. en-
ploys in bis research the facts Of previous
experience and the methods he has found
valuable in former Investigations. modid-
ed to suit the particular exigencies Of the
case. Let him throw aside ascertaiued
facts and methodical thought, aud he at
once degenerates into . framer Of baselesa
theories. which are original only because
they are like nothing else.-Scientijfs jfsc

THE NAME IN THE SAND.
BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE.

BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE.
Alone walked the ocean strand,
A pearly shell was in my hand,
stopped and wrote upon the sand,
My name, the year and day.
As onward from the spot I passed,
One lingering look behind l cast,
A wave came rolling high and fast,
And washed my lines away.
And so methought twill quickly be !
With every mark on earth for me!
A wave of dark oblivion's sea
Will sweep across the place
Where have trod the sandy shore
Of time, and be to me no more,
Of me, my day, the name bore,
To leave no track or trace.
And yet with Him who counts the sands
And holds the waters in His hands,
know a lasting record stands,
Inscribed against my name,
Of all this mortal part has wrought,
Of all this thinking soul has thought,
: And from these feeting moments caught,
For glory or for shame.
