If it is to be drawn and devoted to some pur.

better accomplished than by founding schol-

Exit the Royal Carpet Bag

No doubt Americans are too prone to en-
large upon the "manifest destiny of our
country to annex the small remainder of the
western continent, and to anticipate the
universally of republican institutions. 1t is
only natural, that, emerging from the trial
of the great rebellion and its attendant
anxiety and fear, we should go to the other
extreme and see in all popular movements in
the old world, the long deferred Tealization of
hopes born of our own revolution, and kept
spasmodcaliy alive during the years that
have since elapsed But long experience
has taught us to moderate our expectations
and to rate European republics as having a
decidedly high death rate.
| Whether the pew governments Of France
and Spain will maintain themselves under
their present or like forms, is for history to
tell and not for US to ra,hly predict. The
tendency of the times, however, cannot be
mistaken, although it may be interrupted by
unlooked-foI errors or opposition The
Spanish reput lie has carried itself well dur
Ing the leW weeks vi IGS eAlsGeQce, anu tue
last act of the Cortes before dissolution, the
unanimous passage of the bill for the immedi-
ate abolition of slavery in Porto Rico, argues
we'll for its merits and certainly will not
initiate against its stability. There rema in
questions of great moment for the govern
ment to dispose of; the Cuban and the
Carlist troubles still afflict the nation, and
the new Cortes to be elected this spring, if
in accord with the ministry, will have grave
responsibilities resting upon it. If reaction
airy and anti-republican, it will of course
soon put an end to the present experiment.
But whatever the result may be, it seems
hardly possible that we shall see much more
of this sending out of youthful t-bag-
ger, who takes with him the name of an an
Gent line of kings and receives, on arrival at
his destination, in exchange, crown and a
nation. 1t is custom honorable by virtue
of its age, not otherwise; and one that has
become neither pleasant nor safe for the
principal actor.
That good young man, Macmillan. who
undertook the ruling of our uneasy southern
neighbors of Mexico, may well appear as

WATERBURY, Old Folks Concert, at
the Hotel Hail. Friday evening last, was to-
erably successful, though most of the sing
ers were rather young in the style of old
folks, and will unquestionably do better this
wednesday, evening at the Center, where
they propose to sing some more of the old
" psahn times and use the old, almost dis
carded bass-viol of forty years ago.
We hope nothing like the udicrous or
merriment will be attempted in the render
ing OF those solemn old songs. If the tempta-
ton in this direction is repressed, these con
certs may be useful in reviviDg some good
old music, as well as in furnishing a popular
entertainment.
As in the history of the world generally,
SO in that of the church, the various periods
are marked by particular characteristics.
Whatever may be or should be the distinc-
tive difference between the human race as a
whole, and that part of it constituting the
church militant on earth, we cannot deny
that each is, in some degree, affected by the
other. The influence may be antagonistic, or
it may be in direct sympathy of effort. In the
early age OF the Christian Church, the cruel
prosecutions of Christians have been supposed
to contribute to their publication, and the
increase of their numbers The blood oI
The direct, violent hostility of a wicked
world had the effect to bring out the grace
of true believers 10 Christ. But after Chris
tianity obtained high position and found ia
vor with the Emperor Of Rome in the fourth
century. did prosperity contribute to its
purity? " The friendship of the world =
did not secure the favor OF God, but wrought
the corruption OF the church When the
world protfers sympathy with the church
there is danger tn t the chu ch sympathizas
with the world and is becoming conformed to
it. The injunction, '' Be not concerned to
this world with other similar p ssages Of
Scripture, does not seem to warrant Christians
in the Indulgence of any and every vain and
trivial pursuit dear to the children of this
world.
The requirements Of the Gospel, as SET
forth by the Saviour and apostles. do seem tc
lay some restraint on the natural propensi-
ties of men. The sources OF enjoyment are
not the same to the saint and the sinner
. Therefore il any man be 10 Christ, he is a
new creature; old things are passed away
behold, all things become new" However
lamentable it may be that tins contras. be-
| tween the old ami the ne,c creature is not
appaI ent as it must be real. the new creature
must of necessity differ from the Old; his
enjornents must differ; they must be ration
al, if not spiritual in kind; not vain or
trivial, bordering on the sinful, leading
directly to forbidden imprnpreties.

FIRE IN MONTREAL.-At one o'clock on
the morning of the 18th, the St. James Hotel
in Montreal caught fire. The flames rapidly
mounted to the roof The fremen were
soon on hand, but had not hose enough to
work effectually. The hotel was five stories
! high. Guests were lost for time, in the
upper corridors, In the smoke, and the rescue
of some OF the servant girls from the roof
and windows, where they had fled from their
sleeping rooms in the attic, was most won
dertul The Witness says:
Zone OF them, woman had got outside
and was holding on by her hands to the
sash; her feet rested on the moulding of the
window below. The black smoke emapa-
ting from the windows beneath enveloped
the helpless sufferer in its folds and paralyz-
ed her energies. The woman could be seen
moving her hands at intervals. but time flew.
and still the ladders of the fire department
were not available. Bedding and all sorts
of material were flung from the lower win
dows on to the pavement, and piled up by
the spectators, SO ii the ladders did not come
in time the woman would not have her
brains dashed out by the fall. Mr. Bertram
| bad, IN the meantime, secured the ladders.
but 1t took at least ten minutes to place
them against the walls, when, to the horror
of all, they were found to be thirty feet too
short MIR. Beckam, of Point St. Charles
Station. assisted by John Nolan, grasped
thirty foot ladder, and, raising it aloft.
Beckam, with his back to the hall, held it
firmly in an upright position. Mr.. Perry
grasped the butt, and steadied it on the other
ladder in the manner of splice. while
Nolan managed to bring it so that it would
reach the womans feet; he Immediately
assembled, and encouraged the woman to
place her feet on the rounds and descend.
While this scene was being enacted there
was breathess silence among the specta-
tors. The moment it was seen that the
woman was on the ladder the feelings of the
populace found vent in loud cheers. She
was saved. The moment she got to the bot
tom of the ladder she tainted. and was con.
veyed to the St. Lawrence Hail."
| Another girl was rescued from the roof.
Two OF three persons in all lost their lives;
one falling from window, and another be-
ing precIpltated to the ground by the
breaking Of a rope of blanket strips.
