The Lubricators of Society,

There are lubricators, am 2g men,
who keep the machinery Of society o..ed,
so as to prevent its joints from wearing,
and its journals from heating. Tie is a
lubricator who introduces great III
provements in the processes of soci y;
but there are men who prevent the
fraction which would otherwise be pro-
duced by its working. Such asr.an l
consider one who is throughly good
natured A man who carries disposi-
ton that is characterized by through
good-nature, tends to make others good
natured Other people take from us
what we carry to them; and if you go
in an irritable mood to your breakfast,
you will probably find another person
who is irritable over against you; and
the irritability will be there because
you carried it. If you are cold, those
them i; they have the momentum of the
universe, for the infinite God is behind
them and pushes them on. Think you
that armies of soldiers, congresses of
politicians, crowds of debaucheea, of
hunkers, practical atheists, can now
stop a single thought of God I? Hold
up your hand against the lightning and
stop thunderbolt! You shall do it
sooner than that no truth can perish.
As / think of the great IDEAS now
stirring among men, I feel as in "a
florists shop when i look on buds,
scions and seeds that are designed for
the gardens and farms Of men. / look
forward fewyears, there are blossoms,
there is fruit, abundance come out of
these. So out Of this great idea that
God is infinite power, wisdom, justice,
love and holiness, that human religion
is the service Of Him By the normal
use, development and enjoyment OF
every limb OF this consecFated body,
with every faculty of this enchanting
spirit, with every power we have earn
ed or inherited, II see what men, what
families, what churches, what towns,
states, nations, and what o world shall
in due time come. Ay, truth is strongest
and prevails over all = Theodore

Snow BLoCKADE.--A little furry of
snow Of about fifteen inches, which fell
in about eight hours, last Friday, caused
considerable arrangement Of travel aud
mail facilities in New England. The
Fridays Boston mail train arrived on
Saturday afternoon, about twenty-iour
hours late. Saturdays mail was equally
behind. The New York trains were also
bclaicd but not so badly. Part of train
went down an embankmcnt near White
hall on Saturday No injuries except to
property. A train also went off the irons
in Bennington near the state line with no
damage except delay. Two trains, a

Mr. A. j. Styles, our former popu-

his wandering among the orange orchards
Of Florida where the mercury scars and
ranges among the eighties through the
month Of January. He has come back,
with restored health, to resume his resi-
dcnco and business among us once more.
The practical and satisfactory part Of this
matter is that Mr. Styles remembered his
friends, filled his pockets with delicious
oranges, one Of which measured twelve
and five cighths inches in circumference
weighed fifteen ounces, while the others
were nearly as large. We know these
statements of size and delciousness arc
accurate for we had the evidence of our
senses. The public will gladly welcome
