the uudoing of the work of the fathers OF
the republic and tending TO the entire
desolation of hundreds of thousands of

The expression restoration Of the Union,
so often upon the lips OF the radicals. is, in
their mouths, the veriest mockery. We
confidently believe that there W. uld have
been, long ago, a restoration Of the Union
but for their hostility to such restoration
and their support of measures going strongly
to preyent it.-LouiSriiie Journal.

RESIST R1D1cuLE.-I know of no prin-
ciple which is of more importance to fix
in the habits of young people than that of
the most determined resistance to the en-
croachments of ridicule. Give not up to
the world, nor to the ridicule with which
the world enforces its dominion over every
triling question of manner and appear
ance. Learn from the earliest days to in
sure your principles against the perils Of
ridicule. If you think it right to differ
from the times, and to make stand for
any valuable point of morals, do it, how
ever rustic, however antiquated, however
pedantic it may appear; do it, not for in
science, but seriously and grandly, as q
man who wears soul of his own in his
bosom, and does not wait till it shall be
breathed into him by the breath of fashion.
Let men call you mean, if you know you
are just; hypocritical, if you are honestly
religious; pusillanimous, if you feel that
you are firm. Resistance soon converts
unprincipled wit into sincere respect; and
no after time can tear from you those feel
ings which every man carries within him
who has made a noble and successful eX-
ertion in virtuous causc.-Sidney Smith.

BOOSTED PEorLE.-People who have
been bolstered up and lcvered up all their
lives, are seldom good for anything in a
crisis. When misfortune comes, they
look around for something to cling to or
lean upon. If the prop is not there, down
they go. Once down, they are as helpless
as capsized turtles, or unhorsed men in
armor, and they cannot find their feet
again without assistance. Such fellows
no more resemble self-made men who have
fought theT way to position, making diff
iculies their stepping-stones, and deriving
determination from their defeat, than vines
resemble the oaks, sputtering rush lights
the stars of heaven. Efforts persisted in
to achievements train man to self-reli-
ance; and when he has proven to the
world that he can trust him. We say,
therefore, that it is unwise to deprive
young men of the advantages which result
from energetic action, by choosing" them
over obstacles which they ought to sur
mount alone. No one ever swan well
who placed his confidence in cork jack
ct; and If, when breasting the sea Of life,
we cannot buoy ourselves up and try to
force ourselves ahead by dint of our own
energies, we are not worth salvage, and it
is of little consequence whether we "sink
or swim, survive or perish"

"OrR COUNTRY, RIGHT OR WRoNG."-
The time has been when the Democratic
party inscribed this motto upon their BAN
ners, and boasted that the party was, un-
der all circumstances, true to the nation.
Who does not remember how the old
Fedcralists, who were opposed to the war
of 1912, were tauntcd and scoffId at by
the Democracy because they were for
peace: 1t mattered not how pure in
character, how lofty the aspiration, how
brilliant the intellect, or how cultivated
the mind, the man who opposed the war
was marked as q doomed man, politically.
With the fate of the Federalists fresh in
the memory, is it rot strange that the very
party that proited so much by their
downfall should now be so blind, so short
sighted, as to fall into more eXtravagant
error than did the Federalists. In the
war of 1912, there was 4 very poor, yet
there was some excuse for opposition to it,
while now there is no excuse but treason
or cowardicc. With the Democracy this
time it is our party, right or wrong"
and said party being now always wrong,
is soon destined to occupy a position so
low and disgraceful that the posterity of
Benedict Arnold will be justified in giving
them the cold shoulder, for Arnold was a
patriot compared with the copperheads Of
this generation.

JAPANESE CULTuRE.-The japanese are
far from being as much behind times as
we are apt to imagine. There is probably
no country, not christian, in the world,
so educated, cultivated, and refined. Their
mechanics are in some things more inge-
NOUS and skillful than our own. Their
farmers, if they fall behind in enterprise,
beat them in thrift and economy, and in
the quantity of produce they raise under
the same circumstances. They had print
ed books long before we had. They
watch the progress of European science
and art, and avail themselves eagerly of
its discoveries. Their coasting trade is
large and busy. They take and read the
Dutch newspapers, and thus keep them
selves posted up in the progress of western
events. They knew of the coming Of
Commodore Perry's squadron, and were
prepared for its arrival.

NIGHT.-There is something beautiful
and sublime in the hush of midnight. The
myriad quiet sleepers, laying down each
his life burden, insensible alike to joy or
sorrow helpless alike-the strong man as
the infant; and over all, the Sleepless
Eye. which since the world began has
never lost sight of one pillowed head.
Thoughts like these come to us i'll our
wakeful night-hours with an almost
wakeful intensity. Then eternity only
seems real, and every day as fable. But
morning comes, and the stir and hum of
busy life chase them away as the warm sun
dries up the dew drops which, like these
thoughts, perform their reviving mission
ere they depart.

The first objects of property were the
fruits which man gathered, and the wild
animals he caught; next to these, tents
and houses which he built, the tools he
made use of to catch or prepare his food
and afterwards weapons of war OF offense.
MANY of the savage tribes in North Amer
lea have advanced no further than this,
for they are said to reap their harvest, and
return the produce of their market with
foreigners into the common horde or
treasury of the tribe.


Flocks and herds of tame animals soon
became property; Abel, the second son of
Adam, was q herder of sheep; sheep and
oxen, camels and asses, composed the
wealth of the Jewish Patriarchs, as they
do still of the modern Arabs. AS the
world was first peopled in the East, where
there existed a great scarcity OF water,
wells probably were next made property ;
as we learn from the frequent and serious
mention of them in the Bible, and conten-
tions and treaties about them, and from
its being recorded among the most memoir
able achievements of very eminent men,
that they dug or discovered well.


Land, which is now so important part
of property, which alone our laws call
real property, and regard upon all occa-
sions with such peculiar attention, was
probably not made property in any coun-
Try till long after the institution of many
other species of property; that is, till the
country became populous, and tillase be-
gan to be thought OF. The first partition
of an estate that we read of took place
between Abraham and Lot, and was one
of the simplest imaginable: "If thou wilt
take the left hand. then I will 60 to the
right; or if thou depart to the right hand,
then l will go to the left"


There are no traces of property in land
III Caesars account of Britain but little in
the history of the Jewish Patriarchs none
of it found among the nations of North
America; the Scythians are expressly said
to have appropriated their cattle and
horses, but to have left their land in COM
mon.


Property in immovables continued, at
first, no longer than the occupation, that
is, so long as mans family continued in
possession of cave, or his flocks be pas
tured upon neighboring hill-no one at
tempted, or thought to disturb, or drive
them out but when the man quilted the
cave, OF changed his pasture, the first who
found them unoccupied entered upon
them by the same title of his predecessors
and made way in his turn for any one
that happened to succeed. All more per-
manent property in land was probably
posterior to civil government and laws;
and. therefore, settled by these, or accord
ing to the will of the rcigning chief.

REMARKABLE HOLD ON LIFE.-Major
Geo. n. Lewis, of the Twelfth Regiment,
is in town, stopping at the United States
Hotel. His remarkable wound promises
to heal, and his life will be saved. Not
one man in ten thousand would survive
such a wound. 1t was a canister shot,
weighing about four ounces, and made a
hole clear through him, shattering his
spine. 1t did not displace the vertebre,
which would probably have ended his life
suddenly; but it has left hole through
him, and it is said that even now stick
can be passed through it.-HarJord Times.

WE MUsr DIE ALoNE.-To the very verge
of the stream our friends may accompany US ;
they may bend over us, they may cling to us
there; but that one long wave from the sea
of eternity washes up to the lips, sweeps us
from the shore and we go forth alone! In
that untried and utter solitude, then, what can
there be for us but the pulsation of that assur-
ance-"I am not alone, because the Father is

BEAR THIS IN MIND.-Never make use
of an honest woman's name in an improp-
er place, OF at an improper time, or in
mixed company. Never make assertions
about her that you think untrue-allu-
sions that you feel she herself would blush
to hear. When you meet with men who
do not scruple to make use of woman's
name in a reckless manner, shun them,
for they are the very worst members Of
the community-men lost to every sense
of honor feeling of humanity.

How TO GET SLEEP.-How to get sleep
to some persons is a matter of great i'm
portance Nervous persons who are trou-
bled with wakefulness and eXcitability,
usually have a strong tendency of blood
on the brain with cold extremities. The
pressure of blood on the brain keeps it in
a stimulated or wakeful state, and the
pulsations III the head are often painful.
Let such rise and chafe the body and ex-
tremities with brush or towel, or rub
smartly with the hands to promote circu-
lation and withdraw the excessive amount
of blood from the brain, and they will fall
asleep in few moments. A cold bath, or
a sponge bath and rubbing, or good run,
or q rapid walk in the open air, or going
I'D and down stairs few times, just before
retiring, will aid in equalizing circulation
and promoting sleep. These rules are
simple and easy of application in castle or
cabin, and may minister to the comfort of
thousands who would freely expend
money for an anodyne to promote "Na-
ture's great restorer, balmy sleep"

Coop NIGHr.-How commonplace is
this expression, and yet what volumes it
may speak for all future time! We never
listen to it in passing, that this thought
does not force itself upon us, be the tones
in which it is uttered ever so gay. The
lapse of few fatal hours or minutes may
so surround and hedge it in with horror,
that of all the millions of words which a
lifetime has recorded those two little words
alone shall seem to be remembered. Good
nights The little child has lisped it, as it
passed, smiling, to brighter morn than
ours the lover, with his gay dreams Of
the nuptial morrow the wife and mother,
with all the tangled threads of household
care still in her fingers; the father, with
the appealing eye of childhood all unan-
swered. Good night That seal upon

The report of the Beaureau Of Emigration
makes public the interesting fact that the em
grants to this country bring with them, on an
average, eighty dollars apiece. This sum, when
multiplied by the number of arrivals every year,
makes a total addition to the wealth Of the na-
ton not to be despised. The appearance Of i'm
migrants is often very deceptive. To look at a
cargo of German emigrants, for example, as they
are dumped out at Castle Garden, caasual OBJ
server would put them down as poor people who
had scraped together their last kreutzer to get

We are sure that every reader Of this journal
perused with equal surprise and indignation
the report we yesterday gave from the columns
of Republican print in this city, respecting
the testimony borne by one Perdon Worsley,
in the case of Messrs. johnson & Sutton, dry
goods merchants of this city, now on trial be-
fore the Military Commission, of which Gener-
al Fessenden is President, upon the charge Of
selling goods to blockade-runners and contra
band traders within the lines OF the enemy.


1t appears from the testimony of this witress,
produced on the part of the Government, that
he, with his wife, was engaged about the lst
of April last and sent out by the Government
as principal in the nefarious business to which
the accused merchants are charged with being
accessories. This man, the Government's wit
