What Sermon Should Be.
1t should be brief: il lengthy it will steep
Our hearts in apathy, our eyes in sleep;
The dull will yawn, the ohapol-!ounSer doze.
Attention flag, and memory's portals close.
1t should be warm; living altar coal,
To melt the 10y heart and charm the soul;
A soullees, dull harangue, however read,
Will never rouse the soul or raise the dead.
It should be simple, practical and clear;
No f1ue.spun theory to please the ear;
No curious lore to tickle lettered pride,
And leave the poor and plain unedified.
1t should be tender and affectionate
As his warm theme who wept lost Salem's
fate;
The fiery laws, with words Of love allay'd,
Will sweetly warm and awfully persuade.
It should be manly, just and rational;
Wisely conceived, and we'll e1press'd withal;
Not stuffed with silly notions, apt to stain
sacred deek, and show muddy brain.
It should possess well. adapted grace
To situation, audience, time and place;
sermon. Torm'd for scholars, statesmen,
lords,
With peasants and mechanics i'll aocords.
It should with evangelio beauties bloom,
Like Pauls at Corinth Athens or at Rome:
While Epicturns Or Sterne esteem,
gracious Saviour in the Gospel themel
It should be mixed with many an ardont
prayer,
When God and man are mutually ADDRESSED,
God grants blessing, man is truly blest.
It should be closely, we'll applied at last.
To make the moral nail securely fast;
Thou art the man, and thou alone will make
Felix tremble and a David quakel
A TRUE STATEMENT. Stuart
Mill. in letter to the Motif ogham
Workingmen's International Associa-
tion, speaking of pamphlet recently
published by them, entitled ''The Law
OF the Revolution" says: ''I cannot
think that it is good to adopt this mode
of speech from the French. It proceeds
from an in6rmity of the French mind,
which has been one main cause of the
miscarriages of the French nation in it's
pursuit of liberty and progress, that of
being led away by phrases and treaty
abstractions as if they were realities
which have will and exert active
power. Hitherto the character of Eng
lish thought has been different; it has
required propositions that express
definite facts. not vague words which
only seem to have meaning" On
fortunately il is fact that pihruses-
mere catch words-are come to be very
popular in the United States also.

TILE I.SINUIE

We are to have q Presidential election in
1872-sO much is inevitable. You may regret
OF deprecate this, yet the fact will remain.
An election implies competition. Once only
lin 1s20) has a President been chosen with
practical unanmity; he (AlonrOe) was a good
man. but not a strong one. We are not likely
to have another such election in the next cen
tury.
An election in earnest involves not only
rival candidates but clashing purposes. If II
party or clique were to propose Presidential
canvass on the platform of adherence to our
separation from Great Britain or to a repub-
lcan form of government, it would probably
find it difficult to make an issue on that prop
osition and find an antagonist ready and eager
for the fray.
Thus we regard the questions which, ten
years ago, shook our Union to its center.
Slavery and Secession were then tremendous
facts, which you might approve or condemn,
but could by no means ignore. You might be
for or against them; Indifferent to them you
could not nationally be. But, now that they
are dead beyond the hope of resurrection,
what use in debating their merits or fighting
over their lifeless remains'
"Shall the Blacks-nine-tent Of them just
L" freed by the sword-be at once endowed
"with all the rights and franchises of Amer
"ican citizens?' Barely six years ago, this
was the paramount question. No thoughtful
person denied that there was much TO be said
on either side. That those Blacks were in the
main grossly illiterate and ignorant, was un-
deniabe That they would be duped and
misled by crafty, selfish, unprincipled adven-
turers, was obvious. That they might be
corrupted by bribery or deluded by sham
sympathy, constituted a real and grave public
peril. Ii the country could have chosen to
educate them first then enfranchise them, it
would have taken that course. But iLs only

CONE INTO TRdDE.

We have not heard the last of the French
Arms scandal yet The thrifty officials of the
Ordnance Department seem to have made fine
business of the manufacture and sale Of arms
and cartridges just at the time when it was
clearly to our interest not to sell arms at all :;
and in pursuit Of a good bargain, they
disregarded the plain provisions of the
statutes, tho interests OF the nation, and
the advantage Of the service. We have
seen high officers of the amy transformed
into commercial iobbers, and the Government
armOrics practically made the workshops of
private firms, with whom the Ordnance Office
had a more OF less obscure connection. We
have seen arms dealers consulting with
generals and cOlOnels at the FrankfOrd
Arsenal about an evasion of the rile which
forbids the national factories to be used for
private work, and Il day or two later
We have found those factories ordered
TO increase production to their utmost
capacity, so that Remington might make
q profit out of the necessities of France We
have found at least one officer st0cklOlder
in the Remington Arms Company. We have
found ordnance officers acting as lightGmen
in New-York harbor 80 that Remington night
ship his purchases promptly and cheaply, and
an agent of the Bureau playing the pat of
shipping clerk on board the French steamer,
to check off the delivery of arms which the
Government was supposed to have sold in ig
nOrance of their destination. Ammunition is
manufactured for sale arms are sold before
they are finished; cartridges that are actmlly
needed in the service are not sold only be-
cause a prudent subordinate protests against
the order to dispose of them; and finally,
when Remington wants more arms, the hu(k-
sters in uniform telegraph from Washington
to the posts on the Indian frontier to send On
to NewYOrk, by fast freight, all their new
and scrviceable breech-loaders of the pattern
of 1865. And before those muskets arrive the,
are sold to Remingt0n's man Richardson.
Bad as this avidity to turn an honest or
dishonest penny may be, the contempt for law
shown by Gen. Dyer and his subOrdinates in
the manner of conducting their little opera
tions is q great deal worse. 1t seems that
there are two statutes authorizing sales of
arms. That of 1868 provides that old and
damaged or otherwise unsuitable arms and
stores in possession of the Government at the
date of the act, may be sold after thirty days
notice. This was intended to enable the Gov
crnment to get rid of the quantities of useless
material left Oh hand Gt the close OF tho war.
New-York tribune., 1872-04-25

and was not general permission to tho war
Department to 60 on selling forever. There
ia a law of 1925, moreover. which tho Judge
Adyocate-G General so recently as 1869 declared
to be still in force and that law provides that
all arms and stores thus sold must first have
been inspected and pronounced to be damaged
or unfit for the service. The Ordnance Dc
partment has not paid the slightest attention
to this law. In some cases there was certainly
no inspection, and we have no reason TO
believe that there was an inspection IN any
case. Some of the arms were sold before they
were made. Others were sold en- route from the
West. Cartridges were manufactured eX-
pressly for sale. When Major Benet telc-
graphed to the frontier posts he ordered them
to give up, not arms that were damaged or
"otherwise unfit for the public service" put
"all new and other serviccable brcech-loading
"muskets, model of 1866" And, to complete
the story there is satisfactory evidence that
some of these illegal and improper sales were
made at time when the President had for
hidden any sales at all. We are curious TO
see what opinion the Investigating Committee
will express on the subject.

hacks that it is likely to command favor.
The Secretary naturally has his eye on the
fishing interests of his native New-England'
and while no proposes system Of bounties
based on that which has built up
those fisheries, he includes the cod and
mackerel catchers in the liberal provls-
ions of his bill. 1t must be acinowi-
edged that the coasting trade ana tno
fisheries form the only nursery OF the
American marine, and Mr.. Boutwell, Is WISE
in endeavoring to foster these interests
Whether he is wise in his special plan' how
ever is another question. SO far as the
bounty to builders is concerned, however, IL
is sure to encounter instant opposition from
the insane Free Traders, whom nothing short
of q drawback on ship-building will satisfy.
Something must be done for the commerce OIL
the country. Congress is inclined to strengthen
that of the Pacific by doubling the mail service
to China and Japan but it would do great
harm by admitting materials duty free or

ing is of just as much cohse-
oucnce as that of the maiden sisters who
died few years since in their native Now

In naming their rural residences men are not al
WAYS prompted by vanity. nor always by sentiment.
The practice is sometimes poetical and sometimes
ridiculous; yet Mr.. Smith, who possesses two
stOricd house and wife, probably has much right
TO name his place" James Hall al Mr. Willis had
to call his country seat ldlewild. Burke was proud
of his farm of Bcaconsield, whereon he practiced
the raising of tunips and whence he sold sheep and
swine Scott was delighted with Abbotsford. Wal

a miniature palace, to which he gave no more
poetical name than Strawberry HILL We have
never heard that Carlyle was unhappy be-
cause he lived at place called by the
rough-soundng name of CraigenputtOck; which, in
deed, has hardly more music in its pronunciation
than Jellreys lving-place of Craigcroob. Warren
Hastings it will be remembered went from his trial
to spend lis last days at DoyleslOrd. In our own
country Mount Vernon was named from the great
Admiral and it was characteristic of jefferson that
he should breathe his sentiment in a foreign
word and give the of Monticello to his hillside
retreat. Very nearly the same idea was that of
Jackson. but he gave his home the ruggcder and
more somber title of The Hermitage. In Our later
days moro poetry has been developed. IL was
