How TO ENJOY LIFE.-It is wonder
ful to what extent people believe huppi
ness depends on not being obliged to
labor. Honest, hearty, contentcd labor
is the ore source to happiness, as well
as the only guarantee of life. Ideness
and luxury induces premature decay
much faster than many trades regarded
as the most exhaustive and fatal to lon
gevity. Labor in general. actually in
ereases the time of life. 1t is the lack of
occupation that annually destroys so
many of the wealthy. who having moth
ing to do but play the part of drones,
and, like them, make speedy exit
while the busy bee fills out its day in
usefulness and honor.

The Erie Canal Controversy.

Mr.. Waddell wants to drain the Erie
Canal and make its bed track for Il
freight railroad exclusively. lie argues
that freight is not carried rapidly enough
by the canal. and that the capacity of the
canal is not equal to the necessities of
commerce between the West and our COM
mercial metropolis. Mr.. Hadfield is OPP
posed to destroying the canal, and shows
that it has been and will continue to be of
immense advantage to the State and the
city of New York. Now, both these gen
tlemen are right-Mr. Waddell as regards
the necessity and value of Il freight rail
road, and Mr.. Hadtield with regard to the
importance of the canal to our commerce.
The way to accommodate both is to have
a freight railroad without using the canal
bed for that purpose, and to maintain and
improve the canal at the same time.
There will be business enough for both.
A through freight railroad us direct as
possible from New Y ork to Chicago, or
even to st. Louis, we regard rs necessary
10 accommodate the vast and growing
trade of the West with the seabOard and
this commercial metropolis. Unless we
have it a large portion of that trade will
be diverted by way of the great rivers to
New Orleans ami other points and by
way of the lakes through Canada and the
more eastern ports of the United States.
But the Erie canal will find ample bust

In the British Museum there is an illumi-
mated manuscript which bears the date of
NO. 1t shows us cnamSerln n1edI;eval
times and illustrates the history of IObit
who is lying blind and sick on his couch.
while sitting by the fire is his wife, Anna,
preparing medicine for him, with an open
book on her lap. The romances. the HUI
limitations. the records of the middle ages
show that in that troubled time, when
men were busy about other matters,
woman was not only her own, but mans
physician. Tracing the life and atOcation
of woman through this epoch, we cease
to marvel that a great and salutarv reVO-
luton in their behalf was slowly. silently,
but surely accomplished between the
ninth and twelfth centuries. The senti-
ments in men most powerfully developed
are those most powerfully acted upon by
external influences and conditions.
Though disorder, brutality, and rapine
ran riot abroad. by so much the more did
the castle and home stand forth the
stronghold of life, and also the stronghold
of virtue, of honor and OF love, and It's
custodian was woman. Ii the woman
adOred the valor and proves of the man,
no less the man worshiped the finer and
higher attributes of the woman, which he
had no power to reach or even to share
save with her. He fought many battles I,
but the only trophy which was his re-
ward she held in her keeping. Thus it
comes to pass, before the close of the elev-
enth century, the very sentiment which
the word woman inspired had changed
and become exalted while woman, as
an exalted power, had acquired an EN-
pire never recognized or acknowledged in
the history of the world before. Thelady
of the castle. as the head other vast house
hold, represented womankind at once in
dependent and loving; and this conscious
ness of dual power was shared by every
woman within the castle walls.
At that time, woman, instead of the slave
and property Of her husband was his
equal. and in almost every relation OF life
an individual agent. She could hold indie
pendent power of her own, besides reflect
ING that of her husband. She was now
an heiress in her own right, carrying with
her az her dover castles, domains, prov
inces. and vassals. She could be guard,
ian of a manor. regent of the state, could
sign deeds, and share all the obligations
imposed by peace or war. Many OF these
ladies' ruled over extensive territories and
were active in all their political affairs

ness coming to it from Lake Erie and
other ports off the line of the freight rail-
road and throughout the whole interior
of our own great Stat. The productions
of the country ut present seeking an out
let at this port would give employment
for both, and in the course of a few years
greater facilities even must be needed.
Our capitalists and merchants should at
once form company and raise the means
to construct freight railroad to Chicago
and St. Louis. and the State authorities
should make the Erie Canal as effective as
pDssible.-N Y. Herald Oct. 20.
