Captain Corcoran, OF the Denmark,

here recently, had a lot of the solidest
passengers ever brought across the At

$4,000, which | paid for one govern

the mares was from $500 to $1,000.

mares at three to four. The heaviest

Upright Selflshness.

ia man is entirely unselfsh he
Is no good to any body. An up
right selfshness is the preventative
quality Of the patriot. You will
find humbugs who have been bal
ancing a steel-pen for thirty years
to tell you that a man should think
Of nothing when he goes into the
service Of his country but her,
meaning the aforesaid country.
This is humbug, and the man who
writes it never was in the service Of
his country. If opportunities JUST
fy man in using all his energies
for his family, certainly war should
ennoble that same selishness.-

Rest.

1t is the deepest want in the soul
of man. If you take off covering
after covering of the nature which
wraps him round, till you come to
the central heart of hearts, deep
lodged there you find the require
ment of repose. All men do not
banker after pleasure-all men do
not crave intellectual food. But
all men long for rest; the most
restless that ever pursued a turbu-
lent career on earth did by that ca
reer only testify to the need of the
soul within. They craved for some
thing which was not given; there
was thirst which was not slaked.
That very restless betokened that
restless because not at rest. 1t
is this need which sometimes makes
the quietof the grave an object OF
such deep desire: ''There the
wicked cease from troubling, and
there the weary are at rest" It is
this which creates the chief desira-
bIeness of heaven: 'EThere re.
maineth rest for the people OF
God.n And it is this which, con-
sciously or unconsciously, is the
real wish that lies at the bottom OF
all others. Oh, for tranquility Of
heart-heaven's profound silence
| in the sOul-ssa meek and quiet
spirit, which in the sight of God is
of Great price !"
The eventide, in which instinct,
lively Jacob went into the fields to
meditate,- when the work of the
day is done, when the mind has
ceased its tension, when the pas
sions are lulled to rest in spite Of
themselves by the spell of the quiet,
starlit sky,-it is then, amidst the
silence of the lull of all the lower
parts of our nature, that the soul
comes forth to do its work. Then
the peculiar, strange work OF the
soul which the intellect cannot do,
meditation, begins. Awe, and
worship, and wonder, are in fWG
exercise; and Love begins then in
1 it's purest form of mystic alteration
and peryasive and underlined ten
derness separate from all that il
coarse and earthly, swelling as il
would embrace the All in its desire
to bless, and lose itself in the ses
Of the love Of God. This is the

doctrines, they are perfectly inof.
fensiye, and are not deserving OF
notice; but when they strive to
stimulate their hearers and follow
ers to use the torch and the dyna-
mite bomb; when they advocate
the disorganization Of our social
system, and the subversion OF gov
eminent itself, then it is time that
an efectual clapper should be placc-
ed on their tongues. There is, in
this, no freedom, but RIGHTEOUSNESS
of speech. Such men should be
squelched by the strong arm Of the
law, as preachers Of sedition, as
fomenters of discord, as breakers OF
the public peace. They should not
be treated in a gingerly manner, not
dallied with, or demonstrated with
in honied words of expostulahon'
but promptly and efectually sup
pressed. The friction which a
Slight opposition would produce
would serve only to llghten tnese
men into notoriety, which is the
chief object of their efforts. The
authorities of the States and cities
| in which such fanatics assemble to
abuse the people and the institu-
tions of the country to which they
have fled for refuge and safety,
should recall and act upon the
homely smile Of Cuvier
"Tender-handed, stroke nettle,
And it stings you for your pains;
Grasp it like man of mettle,
And it soft as silk remains.
'Tis the same with common natures
Use them kindly, they rebel;
| But be rough as nutmeg graterss
And the rogues obey your will"

tomb is on sort Of promontory on
the Hudson river, and is the highest
point in Manhattanville The out
ward swell of the promontory begins
at I2ed street and the river bank and
returns to its regular line at rs9th
street The summit of this elevation
is almost level plateau Of something
more than twenty acres. On the
riverside the descent is almost abrupt.
AT its foot, 200 feet below, are the
tracks OF that branch of the Hudson
river railroad that runs into the west
goth street depot. On the northwest
is the ferry to Fort Lee, and on the
north and northeast red brick stores,
houses and manufactures of Manhat-
tanvllle cluster around the base of the
hill. If the observer looks to the
south he has opened before him the
long vista OF Riverside park, of the
drive ways, hewI stone walls, and
ancient oaks and naples. On the
steep slopes Of the Hudson the spot
suggests revolutionary war memories.
Fort Lee is opposite, the old fort in
Central Park is on the southeast, Fort
Washington is on the north, and the
highlands near West Point shut in the
horizon beyond the Tappan See. No
structures can be erected to break the
