Have yOu got a. Motive In Life !
To tho FdItora ofthe Intellieencar.

Have you got a Motive In Life
To tho Editors OF the IntelIeencer.
A young man about to strike out In the
world for himself should have some OBJ
ject or motive to aim at; something to
which he can bend all the energies or
talents Of his mind; something in TACT to
work for, and when that particular mo.
tive Is once firmly established in his own
mind, let no obstacle, however great or
pressing It may be, swerye to turn him
from the one fixed principle Of his life,
namely-tho motive. How many young
men there are who venture out into the
world with no particular purpose In view.
Nothing TO work for and nothing to live
Tor. No trade or profession by which
they can earn IN honest and respectable
livelihood, but drift on and on with the
great surging tide Of humanity, working
first at one thing and then OF another,
seemingly never satisfied, but not seeking
In the least 10 carve out an honorable
future for themselves. Great care and
consideration, should be used In Sc.
Letting motive that II should be a good
one, for II mans motive Is not good his
works will not be good. II riches arc
your motive, it is possible for you 70 oh.
tain them, II you are willing to concentrate
all the powers Of your mind and body for
that purpose; but riches, for the sake Of
the wealth they will bring you. Is not
good motive and ought not TO beheld out
to the young for their ruling inducement,
and for all that is noble and true to the
extent 1t now 10. Riches are good in
their way, and when used in the right
manner may prove blessing to others
as well as ourselves; but you should not
forget that they arc liable at any time to
take unto themselves wings and fy away.
Hence you will observe how important II
Is that you should have Tor your motive
something that must necessarily remain
while life and memory lasts. II these few
words that l have written should happen

The TICHBORNE CLAIMANT A PERJUIEE,
FORGER, ETC.-The celebrated Tichborne case
was resumed in England yesterday. Sir John
Duke COleridge opened for the defence. He
said the testimony they proposed to offer would
show that the claimant was a conspirator, per
jurer, forger-in fact, a common impostor and
villain-and that Baigert and Carter, his accom-
plices, were inscriptions rogues and concoctOrs
OF this stupendOus imposture. The speech of the
distinguished counsel was received by the
crowded court room with applause, which was
Immediately suppressed. The counsel read a
number of letters, showing that the real Sir
point of fact the very opposite of the claim ant;
and announced that he would call, among the
witnesses for the defence, tatooed nobleman,
who had tatooed the genuine Sir Roger; and
would also produce upon the stand the cousin
Of Sir Roger. NJ me Radcliffe, who would swear
20 the fact that the claimant told n falsehood in
asserting that he had ever had illicit intercourse
with her.

The friends of home rule " for Ireland have
" canned the war into Africa" That is, they
have very sensibly transferred the agitation for
home rule from the green isle to England, and
are holding meetings there to complain of and
demand redress for the wrongs committed
against Erin. The advantages of this course OF
action arc twO-fold. In the first place. no Irish
man needs to be told of the wrongs of his native
land. Ii is the first lesson he learns. English
men, however, can be told something many OF
them do not know of the harsh laws which op-
press Irishmen, and the knowledge of it will
not increase their reverence for the government
which, indirectly at least, produces misery and
social trouble. and famine and crime in Ireland.
In the next place. there is more freedom of
speech on English soil than is allowed the Irish
man at home. At the public meeting of Irish
men recently held in Liverpool in favor OF
. home rule" sentiments were EXPRESSED which
m Ireland would have led to the arrest of the
speakers and the dispersion of the assemblage
which applauded them by the police. The most
practical relief which has come to Ireland how
ever. for many years is the recent division of the
estates of the Marquis of Waterford, small por-
tons of which were sold at auction-from thirty
to fifty years purchase. This is sensible, and if
followed out in both England and Ireland would
10 much for the ameliOration OF the condition of
the farming classes, for their poverty and
nearly all their troubles are due partly to the
character of the land tenures and partly to
grasping landlords. Give the men who till the
soil an interest in it and the good results will
soon be seen.

The New York Commercial brands As an arrant
imposition the ''One term dodge" of the enemies
Ofthe President. The discussion has crept into the
Senate, but the same objections to the re-elec-
ton ola President may he urged to the re-elec-
ton Of member of Congress. The first term
of Representative in the House of Representa-
tiyeS and the first term of a Senator are largely
employed to secure his reelection. Why should
they not be restricted to a single term as well as
the President?
The principal argument for restricting the
President to one term is that in his first term he
exerts himself TO secure his reelection by the
corrupt use of patronage. But may he not use
and do not his true interests dictate the proper
use OF, his patronage by the appointment of the
best men for that purpose? Is not his eligibility
TO second election the strongest possible in
dueement 10 good behaviour?

Boston claims to have the respectable wing of
The woman's rights party, violently opposed to
WOOdhullism, and it is, therefore. with some
surprise that we find in the papers of that
city report of a recent discussion in Boffin,s
Bower" a reading room for young working
women, on the subject of "free love-" No
matter how strong the opposition against that
doctrine was among the debators, the fact ITSELF
that there was discussion among a mixed
audience OF young men and women, married
and unmarried, on the claim of Mrs Victoria
woodruff to change her love every day is of
itself sign of decentralization. Female modesty
will not long survive such ordeals. Miss Jennie
Collins, the presiding virgin of the Bower,
thought that Gin time the world might be good
enough for free love-" but, in the present state
OF society, it would destroy all sanctity of the
marriage relation.

The Big Men Of Patagonia.

Ii is little curious that In the modern rage
for exploration into the unknown parts OF the
world, so little has been learned concerning that
and large feet-PatagOnia. At last, however a
traveller has penetrated the land of romance
one Captain G.. c. Musters, of the Royal navy
who has written a book concerning the untroI-
den ground between the straits OF Magellan
and the Rio Negro. He confirms what has been
stated so uniformly concerning the extraordin-
airy stature of the Patagonians, and also states
contrary to the received opinion that they de-
yelop their legs at the expense of their arms,
that the muscular development of the arms and
chests is in all particularly striking, and as a
rule they well proportiOned throughout.
They are, however, great walkers, and their
powers of abstaning from food while travelling
i wonderful, as it is not unusual for them to 20
two and even three days without a mouthful of
anything but wild fruit. They are polygamists,
but do not generally go beyond two wives. In
religion they salute the new moon with respect
fui words, and believe in a great and good
spirit, who, according to tradition, created the
Indians and animals, and dispersed them from
. GOd's-hill;" but they have no idols or object,
of worship. They have, however, wizard-dOc-
tors, whose business il is to propitiate or drive
away the principal evil spirit known as the
Gualichu. The Patagonians, or s'Tehuelches, -
dO not now exceed 500 men, women and chill
dren, and are rapidly decreasing through the
ravages of disease and Of liquor, which the ira
deTs bring into the settlements.
