MAJ. T.. VI. G.iLPUIN

was next introduced, and he went to
work with Il Will to rcfutc the arguments
which Mr.. Graydcn had presented. The
Major is q Little Giant, and INDUCED in
We thought he was going to tear up
what little ground he seemed disposed to
leave for Mr.. Cason to stand on.
He contcadcd that there is nothing in
the world that can stand the ravagcs of
time; neither Is there any finite power in
the universe Of God that can be preserved
from these ravagcS. All the glory and
grandeur OF the world must yield to the
victorious tooth of time. Time, like
death, is an impartial conqucror. The
civilization of the Jews, The ancient
Greeks, and the Romans, has ali been
swept away by the steady onward march
of time, and consigned forever in tie
mauSDicum of ages. Time OF Itself can
work no changes, but is only the period
in which man and the natural clclIcntS
operate. These agencies, man and the
elements, are greater as dcStroycrS than
as !nIprovcrS. Therefore, time thus con-
Siderct, Is greater as 4 destroyer than as
M improver. Philosophers say that
nothing l. destroyed, but only changed
into something else. This theory may be
true, but material substances are dcs-
troyed to all practical purposes. and in
this light we intend to discuss the qucs-
ton. Civilization has only changed
ground The places once occupied by
the grand old palaces and temples, the
monuments of arts and genius. are now
occupied by a few mud novels, vino in
morality and learning are far below the
Indian in his native state OF civilization,
and we are now sending the Gospel 70 the
same nations who sent 1t to rs in the car
" centuries.

SAMUEL c. CASON, ESQ,

now came upon the Stage as inc last ora
tor of the evening, and after replying to
some Of the Majors witticisms he pre-
scented the negative side Of the question
with 4 clearness of thought and cnlhus!-
astic carnestness which was entertaining
and convincing. He said:
That the creative power was greater
than the destructive. This is a PROPOSE
ton that needs 10 profit is an axiom,
Every Improvement Of time was 4 crca-
ton !; a development that was superior to
that force which was necessary to its
DESTRUCTION. That only the material
things were destroyed. In truth nothing
is destroyed. 1t is the philosophical
view of this subject that the affirmative
are so much opposed to. 1t is a sharp
sword, piercing even to the dividing
asunder of the sophistry and argument of
the speeches of the affirmative. Is it the
material things of the world that consti-
tutc its greatness? Is it the colossal col
umns and magnificent temples? rather,
is it o the works Of the mind that pres
ent themselves II claim superiority over
every thing material? Matter is nothing
when compared with the mind. The
works of the great minds have not been
destroyed. They have come down to us
through the ages, challenging the great
iconoclast time to destroy them or to
break their perfect image, and have re-
ceived the impress of the nineteenth
century. As to the general improvements
of time. The discoveries in the useful
sciences are marked and of great benefit
to the world. Who doubts the usefulness
OF the power of steam? We need but to
mention them. See the man of our time,

A PHILADELPHIA Press correspond.
ent writes: "a lady lately arrived
from Paris showed several costumes of
Worth's designing composed of colors
that to us would seem glazing contrasts
but that he has blended in way to
make them appear effective and at the
same time tasteful. He holds that any
cOlOrs nature combines cannot be
'outre.' One costume in particular
which struck our fancy consisted of a
robin's'egg blue silk and peacock-green
velvet. 1t was made in the nOw.prc-
vailing style, the 'Princesse.' Fest0ons
of the silk were draped across the

laid one over the other and varied
from the faintest rose tint up to de-

and prettiest fancies Worth has ever
conceived is that of initiating in his
costumes different flowers and objects
in nature. He will, for instance, fash
ion a miracle of pure white lace and
shimmering satin and call it his lilly
costume, adding, most probably, here
and there, dash of yellow to carry
out the idea Of the petal; or he will

The prOdigal.

Inheritors OF vast wealth are proverbially
spend-thritts. The golden ore is dug from
the mine, refined, and coined, by the labor OF
other hands and the sweat of other brows.
Like children playing with an expensive toy,
they can form no just estimate of its value
When the donor weighed it, he cast into the
balance so many days OF unremittipg and
tatiguing toll, so many anxious and sleeples
nights, so much self-denial, andso much care
But the inheritor into his balance throws onl
pleasure. The one, values it by what it cos
him the other, for what it will purchase.
Like the prodigal in the Scripture parable, he
thoughtlessly expends it to crafty the caprice
last scene-the misery, the remorse and the
lorg and wearisome journey back to the home
Of frugal industry. But there are other prodi-
gals. On her favorites our bounteous parent,
Nature, has lavished her richest treasure
health. But the prodigal values it lightly for,
it in riotous living. Present pleasure OBJ
scures future want. Soon the curtain rises on
the last scene. We see him helpless, impov-
erished the rich treasures Of body and
mind all lost.-in misery and desneir. Re-
morsetul Conscience holds up to hinSthe mir
ror ofmemory. In his own reckless folly he
perceives the cause Of his present pain. He
tedious, but if he perseveringly follows the
right road, he will at length see the haven OF
his hopes in the distance, and Nature, seeing
her invalid child atar Of, will come out to
