1t is no easy matter, if, indeed, it is possible, to fix the time at which it is proper for a man to enter upon public life, %supposing that he can enter upon it at all. The question is quite prom inent just now. Pitt was a very young man-but a little past twenty-when he took the reins of the British gov eminent into his inexperienced hands. Burke was thirty-six when he entered Parliament, though ne had previously been attache of Single Speech Ham ilton, secretary of Lord Halifax in Ire land, and afterward private secretary of Lord Rockingham while the latter's one year ministry lasted. And SO a crowd Of less notable illustrations might be cited. But no average of circumstances will suffice to establish a rule in the case. 1t must ever be a matter of perpetual chance and discovery. One man does his best work in a very short time and early in life, when another does not fairly come to it till he is at middle life, and even later. And what a young man is specially good for, and for that reason specially inclined to an older one would regard as wholly out of the reach of his desires. The fully matured public man is a differ ent being from the beginner. And if he has h~usbanded his powers he rem orally possesses as good a stock of the energy of youth as any situation in which he is placed may require Boston Herald.

the wool been wrought into cloth in the United States, the whole of the wheat consumed by the working people and their employers must have been of native production, and conse- quently six times as much in quantity as en- tered into foreign fabrics Of equal value. But this is neglecting altogether the wheat of Eng lish growth which must always constitute vastly larger proportion of its peoples food than all that imported from every other country. The system forced upon the agriculturists by the deyotees Of foreign trade in the name, but not in the spirit Of Adam Smith, trade never exceeding in amount one-tenth of the in ternal commerce Of the nation---is one which diminishes theI marketinste of extending it, and compels them to sell to poor and distant customers instead Of near and rich ones.
