Youth, Companion.
There is something more dreadful in
the consequences of working the mind
to exhaustion than in similar abuse of
the body.
DR.. Parker OF New York, delivered
a lecture in that city, in which he
showed the evils proceeding from the
transgrcSsiOn of the limits Of their
powers by literary men.
He said: "No man can do head
work faithfully for more than four or
five or six hours. If that time is eX-
ceeded, I'LL the phosphorus is carried
off. and the man becomes irritable,
broken down, and has softening of the
brain.
81 have seen this oyCrwOrk in law
yers, doctors, and clergymen and mer.
chants who have worked the brain fol-
ten hours.
"Thcy have dropped under the bur
den. You cannot violate the law OF
God with impunity. Sir Walter Scott
did large amount of brain work il
his day, but he did not Ovcrwork him
self. In his latter days, however, III
became pecuniarly embarrassed, ant
resorted to his literary pursuits to saw
himself; but he worked too hard mt
completely broke himself down.
"One of the best scholars | eve
knew completely broke himself dowi
in his younger days, but he lived on t
seventy, though he could only worl
some four hours day. After thes
hours he engaged in vigorous eXercis
to keep him out of the house as muc
as possible, and he continued one O

The River and Harbor Bill.

Tie National View.
In the river and harbOr bill, the gov
ernment provides for the expenditure
of Sl00O0,000. All this money is to
pass through the hands of contractors
before it reaches the hands of the labor
ers. The consequence will be that
$4,000,000 will be expended in legiti-
mate work, and the remaining six mil
lion will stick to the fingers of the con-
tractors, and their "touters," otherwise
members Of congress.
If government is to pay for the var
ious improvements which are necessary,
why does not government see that the
work is done? What need of contract
ors, when the government graduates ut
its schools n corps of engineers every
year who are idle at least one half of
each year? If the government must
provide the money for these improve
ments, and do it as it must from the
revenues of the whole country, why
should not those improvements become
legitimate branch of government
works, under its supervision, and car
ried on by officers whom the country
is taxed to educate, and who at present
are useless pensioners some people
call them paupers-On public bounty?
1t may be said that the government
has no right to NEEDLE with the prices
paid to labor and therefore these CON
tractors are at liberty to employ labor
as chcaply as they please, and that
will be at starvation wages if they
can. But if the government has Il
right to stipulatc what prices shall be
paid to contractors in prosecuting these
works, it has right to take them al
together out of the hands of contract
Ors, and directly employ the labor; stip-
ulatng what price it will pay for its
own work. And this IS the true policy
of government, which seeks by con-
ferring moneys TO confer general
good. All that pertains to expenditures
of money, which is raised by II taxation
common to all, and which therefore
belongs to all, should be retained under
the direct supervision of the general
government. All highways, navigablc
streams, and railways should belong to
the whole country in common, in 9th
er words, to the general government
and all necessary improvements should
be prosecuted, and all moneys for that
purpose expended by that administra-
