Morklng mem and NYnlnen,

The causes OF war chllge from ago
to age. In earlier timed ,Aearly every
great war had its origin in religious
differences. That cause. mas now al.
most wholly passed away But many
of our modern conflicts have been in
spired by much meaner Ind less worthy
motives. The great wars Of the last
hundred years may nearly all be ranged
under two or three heads. They have
been dynsslc; they have been pro-
NOTED to serve the ambition Of sover-
oigns aud privileged orders; or, worse
still, they have been prompted by the
greed of traders aud commercial specu-
latorg. Dynastic, like Religious wars,
will speedily disappear; aristocracies
and oligarchies will lee less potent in
the future; and Mammon,
" The least erected spirit THAT fell from Heay
en-
wide as his empire 10, aud many as are
his devotees, does not get, and,I trust
never will, reckon amorg his worship
ers the working men Of Britain. What
ever their faults and failings and they
have both in abundance democ.
racy are never likely to be unduly in
iluonced by mercenary considerations.
They may fight for an idea, but they
will not fight for territorial aggran-
dizemeut or commercial advantages.
These causes % waN, therefore, are
likely to altogether cease to operate
with diminishing power in the future.
How few of the poptlar wars within
the period inert .0ned have met with
the approval OF ,S,sterityl Johu
Stuart Mil long ago faharked "that
the tint had come when the democracy
of one country would Join hand with
the democracy OF another rather than
back their own ruling authorities in
putting it down" A war ike the in.
yasion of France to suppress tue fret
French republic would be n.w an inn
possibility. The democracy would
take their stand by the side OF Fox and
Grey rather than by the side OF Pitt
and Burke. Tha. perhaps is not say
ing much for democracy, since the very
generation that commenced tie war
and with whom it was popular, saw on
reflection that they had committed a
blunder and crime. Tile Fortnightly

There is something wonderful in the
