The Charges Against Senator Car
penter.

The New York Tribune, Springfield
Republican, and kindred Journals OF the
independent" sort, recently maze
reckless attack upon Senator carpenter
of Wisconsin, which we were sorry 10
see the Rutland Globe catch up and make
the text of a ''high moral editorial,
without waiting to see if the charges
were proved true. 1t now appears that
Senator Carpenter entirely denies the
scapdalous accusations brought against
him. and the Baltimore american, a
most reputable sheet, contradlcts the
imputatfons on the Senator's character
in the most positive language. Inc Chl-
cago Times, bitter enemy OF senator
CARPENTER, also says that it has been con-
tradcted by the Senator in conversation,
and by others who were at Long Branch,
and the Long Branch correspondent OF
the Baltimore american also asserts the
Senator's innocence. The latter says
that the lady referred to belongs to the
highest circles of society, and has al
WAYS enjoyed a spotless reputation. IL
is charged, both by Mr.. Carpenter and
the Long Branch writer, that the Sian
der was concocted by a Tribune reporter
who, two years since, was lncarceraIe''
for contumacy by order OF the Senate
having refused TO answer certain ques-
tions put to him by a committee,
of which Mr.. Carpenter was chair
man. Ever since that period the
Tribune has remorselessly pursued and
attacked Mr. Carpenter; and Whitelaw
Reid himself, who has personal malice
against the Senator, has never allowed
an opportunity to pass to SANDER him.

BE HAPPY.

The man has never really enjoyed fun,
unless he has read with relish the mimi
table account which Mr.. Dickens has
given of the wanderings and experience
of Mr.. Pickwick, and the other members
of his corresponding society of the Pick
wick Club, who were nominated and APP
pointed to forward, from time to time,
authentic accounts of their journeys
and investigations, of their observations
of character and manners, and of the
whole of their adventures, together with
all tales and papers to which local scene
ry or association may give rise, to the
Pickwick Club stationed in London.
And this authority being granted, with
full recognition of the principle of every
member paying his own travelling ex-
penses, and taking as much time and 60
ing as far as he pleased, the reports were
interesting, and the amusement of others
nearly equaled the profit obtained by the
members themselves
We have all of us seen, in nearly every
assembly of the people, the leader of
this corresponding society of the Pick
wick club in pursuit of information un-
der difficulties. He is always solicitous
for the well-being of others, and gener-
ally makes himself miserable in his fears
that the world will go wrong. He is
very apt to attend religious meetings and
audibly mourn over the ultimate punish
ment of the young men who cannot re-
strain their mirth while he gives his ia
therly council. He is the butt of every
good-natured joke, in all places, and in
sists upon the strictest regard for truth
in the narration of fight. At horse
races, musters, and shows, he is always
in the way, and shakes his head in doubt
when he is extricated with difficulty
from tight place, and moralizes sol
EMMY when the playful wind leads him
long chase, to recover his truant hat
Mr.. Pickwick was no creature of the
fancy, except as an imaginary name can
be applied to the designation of some
living being, within the acquaintance
ship of every one.
1t is undoubtedly useful that we have
men in the world who spend their lives
in unconsciously amusing their friends.
About all the object of living is that we
may enjoy our allotted share of happi-
ness and promote the enjoyment of 9TH

ers, but it is not profitable to us, that we
should keep ourselves in constant trouble,
that others may be amused at our antics
and awkward movements. Everybody
has duty to perform to himself as well
as his neighbor, and the command to
love his neighbor as himself presupposes
that he has an ardent devotion to his
own interests and happiness, and that
when he loves Others as himself, he will
be bestowing upon them sufficient
amount of affection, that he will in
every way minister to their joy and
never do them wrong. The good-natured
and solicitous Pickwick is a representa-
ton of actual character, but not a model
for imitation, and we cannot initiate
him profitable unless we add to his char
acter an appreciation of the happiness
we give others, and through an habitual
enjoyment of the good things of life,
prepare ourselves to pertake of the bliss
of glorious eternity.
We have many times looked i'll Won
der upon the long faces and dOleful man.
ners of men who professed to be teach
ers, seeking to bring men to the living
truths of the Gospel of eternal life.
They seem to think it necessary for
them to make the gifts of salvation, they
have to offer, as repulsive as possible, and
to show by their daily lives that the re-
ligion they believe, brushes out all the
joy and buoyancy of their lives, and puts
the human sympathies with which they
are endowed in straight jacket, to
quake in fear least natural laugh should
burst through their assumed sanctimoni-
BUSINESS, and give them taste of the joy
they cannot bear to see. We have no
sympathy with philosophy which does
not make men better and happier in this
life, as we'll as to prepare them for high
er joy in the great hereafter, byan expe-
rience with that which gives happiness
in the preparation.

The Real Danger of oEateria,l,m.

The danger from materialism is not.
as we usually incline to think. corruption
of morals by degradation of the soul.
Too much use, for censure's sake. has
been made, against this system. of the
seeming ease with which its professors
have convinced themselves that they cut
up by the roots the very principles of
morality and duty. History proves. by
examples too infamous, that barbarism
and license are the privilege of no phil
osophic sect. The real enemies of soci-
ETY. always have been, and always will
be, the ignorant and fanatical, and il
must be frankly owned that, if these ex-
ist within the pale of materialism, there
are quite enough of them outside. The
danger in the doctrine which reyerses
the natural relation of things, and asserts
that spirit is the product of mater. when
in truth, matter is product of Spirit.
this danger is of another kind material

imperceptible scratch in the vast range
of nature" The claim of mere exneTi-
mentalism is that it may sentence men
to the fixed and stubborn contemplation
of this scratch. What folly! All the
history of the development of the sci
ences proves that important discoveries
all proceed from a different feeling,
which is that of a continuation of forces
beyond the limits of observation. and of
a harmony of relations, overruling the
singularities and deformities of detached
experiences. To hedge ones self with

Bread Earning.

AS going to show the Importance OF
united action among farmers and me-
chanics, the Rural World (St. LOuis)
appropriately quotes Commodore Maury,
whose interest in agricultural matters
has long been acknowledged. The quo
tation is as follows:
according to the census returns OIL
1S70-sO far as | can see, and l can IN
derstand-there are in the United States,
using round numbers, IL, sos, 900 bread
earners. These twelve and half mil
lions subsist nations with the fruits OF
their labor; they give food, shelter, raj
ment to $4,000, 900 of souls that inhablt
this country. Thus, you perceive that
every bread-earner has, on an average,
to fill little more than three mouths.
"Of these bread-earners, 5,922,27l
were engaged in agriculture, and 1.765,-
O1O in other rural trades and callings,
such as blacksmithing, carpentering, and
the like, making, with their food de-
pendents, a total of %, $50, 900 souls, in
round numbers, out of the 80, 100000.
"The manufacturers, including opera
tives and servants, earn bread for /, H.

census: While agriculture and mechan-
les fill ten times as many mouths as COM
merce, twenty times as many as manu-
facturers, forty times as many as rail
roads, and fifty times as many as mining,
vet the least of these, by combination
and management-as one of your orators
on a former occasion has told you-eXer-
cises three times as much influence in the
country, and thrice the power with the
government, that you do-all for the
lack of the proper spirit among farmers

The Postum Policy.

Good soldiers consider it very hazard
Gus to change front in presence Of the
enemy, and General Butler is at least
soldier enoagh to understand the risk he
runs. But he has determined to take it,
and energies from his long retirement,
this week, to take the stump It is an
nounced that he will speak at Worces-
ter, Tuesday night, at Wakefield, We'd
nesday night, and at Taunton, Thursday
night. He is also coming to Springfield
early in September, but the date is not
yet fixed. Had the General taken the
stump at first, as two years ago. he
might have been successful in the pres
ent campaign. But he preferred to
adopt the possum policy, and it is now
too late for him to change the current of
popular opinion. Even the magnetism
of his personal presence will not now
revive the dropping courage of his adhe-
rents, much less gain the support of sit
tiers on the fence, who have already be-
gun to drop off on the other-sure to be
the winning 1t is said one main
reason why Butler does not make and

does not pay SO well to be Butler man
