he was afraid he would soil the coat

Rev. MIR. Long preached an ex

from the text, "Work out your own
salvation with fear and trembling,
for it is God that worketh in you
both to will and to do of His own
good pleasure" That is seemingly
contradictory, and although the
preacher said that man could not
understand how both propositions
were true, yet he showed that they
were and demonstrated the blessings
that flowed from the benign super
vision which the Almighty eXer-
cised over the lives of his creatures.
The sermon was very impressive.

Does Intellectual Culture Increase Mel
anchOIy.


Apploton's Journal.
Melancholy is a mental disorder,
and joyousness the naturala and health
rul state Of the mind. Has this dis
order been increased by intellectual
culture, or, if increased by the in
crease of intellectual habits, is this
effect at all a necessary one2 1t is,
perhaps, true that the intellectual
classes have greater tendency to mel
anohOly than other people but this is
partially due, we suspect, to their Sc
dentary habits, to a low order Of phys
zeal health, to indigestion and other
diseases that always come out of ne
e.ect Of exercise, and additionally
~ a foudaess for retrospective, sub
We study Of passions, and to the
al dollhouse atmosphere of our
7al literature. 1t is not evil
nat philosophers, historians or
iuists have exhibited a special ten
eucy to melancholy. Indeed, the
eat lights in all literature for the
most part have been men of serene
and happy natures. If Dante and
Cowper aud DIR. johnson were melan-
choly men, Shakespeare and Goethe
aud Scott. and a vast number of 9th
.rs, eminent in all branches Of
letters were not. 1t is certain,
we think, that every form
of healthful mental occupation
brings to the mind Joy rather than
gloom or sorrow and that melan-
choly, excepting for the moment all
who are eonslittAonally afflicted with
it, 20 far as it is the product Of intel
lectualism, Is tho resHlt Of q1lealth-
full forms Of it. Every strain upon
the emotions produces a morbid reac-
ton; and that is why certain poets
and Ill writers who force themselves
into ecstasies 9P feeling suffer when
the mental intoxicatiQp Us over. Sc
we're occupations that employ but do
NOT excite the mind-whetheP low or
high in degree - leave no faint Of
melancholy behind. 1t IS net those
persons who think most, nor those
who are most keenly alive % the sor-
rows and misfortunes hat befall man
kind, that are overcome By sadness,
but commonly the minds that work
upon their sepsibilities and feelings
that cultivate melancholy by the lite
nature of the emotions. No doubt all
such persons have at the beginning a
tendency to melancholy, but, instead
of %cultivating cheerfulness, they have
cultivated disease. Naturalists and
men of science may not be free from
melancholy, but their pursuits are
certain to correct rather than promote
whatever natural tendency they may
have that way,

evaded, provided the securities offered
are A No. /. The offerings Of East

accordance with cotton sales. Rates
remain steady at : discount for sight

grace. New York checks are sold at
par. New Orleans are par selling
