And for this purpose it is hardly necessary w

Any man half a century Old need not tax his

easy to write it now, but the world was q long
time coming to that conclusion. Finally. let
any one who is constitutionally hopeless look At
the present condition of the Labor Question, and
compare it with the practices, for they had no

must add the consideration that he settlement
of one important question not seldom disposes
of many minor ones. The greater always com

All history teaches Us tbat changes which 10
the conservative mind seem charged with innu-

wholesome as they were unavoidable. We
laugh at that quality of the human intellect
which sees the day of judgment in the repeal
of statute; but caution Is not Of itself bad
or undesirable. Until all men are made alike
there will be dissentients, although it is cred
liable to the social man that the dispute is
usually about methods. The common instinct
of our nature to make the wrong right and
the crooked straight is superior to the tools
with which we work. The age travels even in
it's sleep, by night as well as by day, when 1t
thinks itself at rest as well as when it knows
that it ia moving nor will the earth cease to
revolYe upon Its axis because women have
been placed upon School Committees. We
mention this for the benefit of certain gentle
men in Boston who seem to think otherwise

THR BANK OF FRANCE.

The Bank Of France is now moving in the
direction of specie payments, and it is an
indisputabie fact that the policy of the mana
gers of that institution is directly the reverse,
in every particular. of that which seems most
in favor at Washington. Tho method upon
which the Bank Of France is proceeding may
be briefly stated as follows
l. To maintain rate for discounts and ad-
vances higher than that of the great centers
Of trade and exchange in Germany, England,
Belgium, and Holland, and also somewhat
higher than the natural rate in Paris outside
Of the Bank. The object of this is to check
the increase of loans and discounts. But our
Mortons and Kelleys and Logans wish to have
money artificially plenty, and interest artif-
cially low. and banks multiplied in number,
In order that their loans and discounts may
be increased, speculation stimulated, and the
purchasing power of money diminished.
ii. 70 contract the volume of notes in cir
culation. Ever since the rate of discount
touched seven per cent, at the beginning of
last November, the determination of the Bank
to go no further iii the direction of initiation
has been apparent to those who from week to
week have followed the statements of it's con-
dihon.' November 49, 1873, its note circulation

to secure q portion of the expense from the

desirable object than many which have pre-
yiously received assistance; but our people

far stood in the way of investment Dy cap'-
talsts in rapid transit schemes IL that ,l,o

difficulties which has thus far always stood IN

somehow obviated. Mr.. Eastman has been

1t is possible that there ia no truth in the
report, which comes to US by cable, that Mr..
Gladstone has resolved no longer to take an
active part in British parliamentary proceed
ings; but there is much to be said in Its
favor. The letter from our London cor
respondent, published on the third page this
morning, shows how nearly the Liberal party
came toward disorganizaton. To person OF
Mr.. Gladstone's temperament this must have
been peculiarly annoying, and it is easy to
imagine that he should court retirement
There is some reason to believe that bis with
drawal from political affairs, if IT should be
merely temporal. would benefit both himself
and the Liberal party.

Thera may he some that will put the inquiry:
Who iB Mr., Alcott 70 such we would auBwer,
ho il N1r. 4, Bronson Alcott, OF Concord, AiaBR.,
the author OF "Coneord Days." tho father Of
iIiss Louisa NJ. Aloott. and the owner Of perhaps
tho most y-rhilosophioal mind that was
eyor born upon our Continent.
Tho best work of Mr. Alcott's life has beon
accomplished in the achooi-room. Here his
peculiar aud remarkable talent, his learning, and
his wisdom found tho most fitting aroma for their
free and full manifestation. Horo ho could de-
ye1op and complete his individual aud original
ideGs without constraint through tho apokou
word, the avenue most congenill to them. Tho
study Of the spirit aud tho thought, whioh to him
was a!l.abeorbing aud important, could 6e most
satisfactorily pursued while ho was engaged In
drawing out, discipliung, aud cultiyatlng tho
minds of lit.lo children. His own mind received
tho strongest stisnulant in qutokoning theirs.
and enjoyed its most favorable and fruitful en-
ployment. Mr.. AIcott could never give adequate
utsoranco to himself in writing. Tho pen
cramped llH thought. But, In toaohtng and III
conversation, liA iiuo aud raro faculties easily
came out, aud took shape for tho apprehension
and enjoyment Of othors.
Noarly forty years. havo paused aluce the term
Of school waB held in Boston, OF which this
volume preserves d reoogd. And yot thoro waa
10 much vital wisdom in tho p1an OF inatructiou
whic!, Mr.. Alcott pursued, that, with all the
change aud advance IN educational systoms
meantime, his own has neither grown old nor

by sincere dosiro to eluol1ato tho truth, and
haH executed 1t with ability and candor. lie has
passed undor a thorough reyiow tho Testimony of
Christ Of Paul, Of John, and Of tho Old-Terta-
Ment Scriptures aud, from what ho considers
their united and harmonious evidence, derives
tho following inferoncos:
First-TAat there is but ono God, the Father
of uB all.
Second-That Christ waa God incarnato, con-
ccivcd by tho Holy Ghost, aud born Of the vir-
GIN Mary.
Third-Thas the Holy Ghost Is Gods Spirit,
and is no more o person distinct from Him than
is tho spirit Of mau porson distinct from the
man hilnaelf.
Fourth--That The Divine Trinity in not trIni-
ty Of persons. bnt the throo essentials Of our God
iu Christ Fathor being Daity; tho Sou tho
humanity Of Christ +; and the Holy Ghost God
working in ua through His Son. Finally. TINT
this Trinity did not cxist until God became In
