Want Of Memory.

One of the chief causes that unGerlies
q great many of the ills and misfortunes
of life is the want of memory. Even in
childhood this defect is often manifest,
and causes much of the troublesome
conduct complained of by parents and
teachers. Rewards and punishments
excite in them respective emotions Of
gladness or suffering; but, though
strong at the time, these impressions
appear to fade quickly away, and i'm
pulse soon leads them into the same
fault, to undergo the same experience.
The same SHINING and repenting charac-
ter is seen in mature life, and is the
germ of many of its failures. A young
man has the habit of unpunctuality.
He suffers from its effects in various
ways. He is unhappy for the time be-
ing, when he is reproved by his en-
ployer, or losses some fine opportunity,
or offends valued friend, or misses his
train, or finds cold and spoiled dinner.
Yet the next day the recollection of this
misery is too feeble to supply motive
sufficient 70 prevent the same thing. and
again he goes the round of delaying,
suffering and forgetting. Another per-
son thus offending and reaping the PEN
atty has such q vivid remembrance of
the shame, or loss, that he takes good
care to prevent its repetition. A bust
ness m;n makes false step which costs
him dear, but, though ne smarts under
the necessary effect, he does not on a
future occasion recall the emotion with
sufficient vividness to deter him from a
similar blunder. Another remembers
so keenly the pain that no tempta-
ton will be strong enough to induce
him again to incur the risk. A me-
chanic, through carelessness or unskill-
fitness, performs bungling, imperfect
piece of work. He may in consequence
lose his situation or good customer, or
suffer from his own self-reproach; but
whether he steadfastly directs his ener-
gies to avoid the recurrence and to
perform better work, or not, will de-
pend greatly upon whether he remem-
bers wildly his former uncomfortable
feelings. As success in any undertake
ing demands constant correction of
mistakes, and avoidance of past faults,
it must largely hinge upon retentive
memory of pains and pleasures.-Co-
hsnbrls (Gd. SUM-.

He said much to the same effect. but only
excited more and more my indignation and
anger. | refused to bind myself refused
with scorn; and he left me, after telling
released unless l would promise to do as he
wished. He avowed that he had planned
TO keep me at Ludford in ignorance Of Sir
Martins illness, satisfying the old man
with lying excuses Of my absence. But the
news oosed out, as we know, and then my
telegram announced that he was defeated
that l was coming. In his perpleXity he
hit upon the desperate scheme of shutting
me up in my own rooms; and with this
success.
All this he told me. So wild did it render
me that tried TO take the key from him by
main force when he rose TO go. The woman
pulled me back, and sobbing bitterly with
rage and grief / flung myself upon my bed.

Early in the morning James came again;
this time he stayed merely TO ask if my res
olution held out: and finding that loathed
him he went sullenly away again. He was
haggard and psrplexsd; could my grand
father have taken q turn for the better. Ny
heart leapt high with hope and then sank;
would Sir Martin Do safe in my unscrupu-
Ious cousins hands? And this added
another terror to my position. Through the
baize door came NO sound Of life.
At dusk he paid US q third visit. 1t was
fruitless, though lie told me that Sir Martin
was worse; and, more dark-eyed and bag
gard than ever, went away again. This
time made up my mind that I would es-
cape. Ny passion had worn itself out by
this time, and fear had taken its place. In

much in the way of brains, and since Wen
dell Phillips and General Butler have ceased
contributing to make its conveI tions inter

claimed that he party is dead and has no

the Greenback party Of Massachusetts has
done and there are members of it, good
many of them, who wonder why their party
does not command more esteem and secure
more votes. Was there ever more ridicu-
lous proceeding outside of the asylums for
idiots and lunatics? These people imagine
they are statesmen, and presume to ask men
OF convictions and good sense to trust them
with the guardianship of public interests.
They are the fools of politics, and it is la
mentable that there should be dozen of

abound.
ance of the Massachusetts Greenback party
yesterday. They nominated for Attorney
General, George Foster of Lynn. Some i'm
pertinent person, apparently having too
much sense to be in such crowd, objected
that Mr.. Foster was not lawyer. But he
was speedily squelched. A delegate some
genuine Greenbacker-saidt that Butler knew
all the law that was necessary and it made
no difference who was Attorney-Genera' !;
whereupon Mr.. Foster was unanimously
nominated. What an exhibition for a
crowd calling itself a political party! They
have nominated for Attorney General of the
State of Massachusetts man who perhaps
was never in court room except as witness
tell, If the question were put to him, wheth-
er Kent's Commentaries treat of law or of
scripture. He, if the Greenback party could
succeed, would be the person to give legal
opinions to the Legislature, to draw up con-
tracts to which the State is party, and to
prosecute murderers and other felons in the
courts.
Is it any wonder that party which has
no more sense of its dignity or its duty
should commit itself TO all kinds of fantas-
tic doctrines and exploded thieves? Of
course it will DO so; or, conversely, a party
which adopts and maintains the notion of
fat currency is only Intellectually consis-
tent when it puts forward such candidates
for Office. General Butler has no use now
for any Greenback party except in SO far as
its adherants can be induced TO vote for
him; but they do not know enough to know
when they are betrayed and repudiated.
Like all ignorant and stupid people they
dearly love demagogue, and they continue
to fawn upon him after he has found it
profitable to cast them off in order to make
love without embarrassment, to a more
numerous party As destitute of self re-
spect as of sound principles or public moral
ity, they make themselves spectacle of
political degradation without hope and with
out shame.

The appearance of a war cloud in Europe
is generally more significant of dullness in
the ne VS. market than of rush to arms, and
we are inclined to think that the present one
is not an exception. There have been out
breaks in Croatia consequent upon an at
tempt TO supplant the language of that prov
ince by the Hungarian tongue in all official
business, and there is good reason to believe
that Russia. which has never been recon-
ciled to the decision of the Berlin Congress
that gave to Austria so large slice of Tur-
key, has been engaged in fomenting trouble
in Bulgaria. But Russia, while she may in
trigue in Bulgaria. will hardly do so to the
extent of involving herself in war with
Austria. Austria is a member of the triple
alliance which is composed of that nation,
Germany and Italy, and in a war with Rus
sia she would undoubtedly have the back
ing of both these nations. Russia perhaps
would be more than a match for Austria
single-handed, but would be utterly unequal
to contest with Germany and Austria COM
bined, to say nothing of Italy. France is so
handicapped with foreign expeditions that
she could not be relied upon TO furnish any
aid to Russia, if she had the disposition.

Rev. Justin D. Fulton recently asserted in
Brooklyn pulpit that Monsignor Capers
prestige in England suffered sudden
eclipse when Cardinal Manning interdicted
him for embezzling the funds with
which the Marquis of Butte had proposed to
found college, and that Monsignor Capel
appealed to the Pope, but the interdiction
was sustained. Monsignor Capel pronounc-
es this "a wicked, libelous invention, made
for too transparent purpose" and intends
not only to answer the charge in public, but
to bring suit against Mr.. Fulton for SLAM
der. Mr.. Fulton has the bad habit of the
Greenback orator, whom rural paper as
serted set his tongue a-running and went off
