at least think seriously of giving the money

Secondly, there is the Tom Mooreish or Sen
timental style of treating amorous falsehood.
A deserted damsel, instead of bringing her ac-
ton, may say: "GO, wretched man be happy
" if you can but when you join the gay and
festive throng, and other eyes than mine look
Glove to yours, remember then your own per-
fidious VOWS, the lying utterance of your
serpent tongue, the empoisoned honey of your
" perjured lips; that moon, that walk, that
declaration sweet; the kiss that first you
" offered-dream of these until the whirling
/" brain no longer thinks, and madness kindly
"comes to your relief, &C., &C., &c.w What

elegant and effective, but it would be at least
five thousand dollars out of his pocket, and
save the public at the same time from the
scandal of an action in the courts.


Perhaps we have spoken of this whole mat
ter too lightly; but there always has been and
there always must be something laughable
about actions of this description. If, in spite
of this, woman or man pleases to bring one Of

naturally descend. Meanwhile, othgr families
living remote and struggling with poverty,
lament their sad fate, and that they are de-
prived of opportunities which, if enjoyed In
the manner desired, would lead TO their ruin
also. Could the wealthy understand that
education, position, and all that is understood
by opportunity, means as thorough discipline Of
the body as of the mind, the rulers and in
tellectual leaders of the land would not be
taken from the common people. But, because
they will not understand this, great reser-
voir of latent, intellectual power is wisely de-
posted with the humble and lowly. What We
mean by discipline of body is, that the student,
independent, for time at least, of family wealth,
shall be so guided as to experience within himself
the growth, progress, and development of man.
To neglect such elementary knowledge is as
fatal as to neglect the elements by which any
science is acquired. With our wealth and in
yentions we seek other methods; but we con-
stantly forget one who was born to a princely
inheritance, and to whom no opportunities were
to be denied; and, to the end that he might
know, and be able to do, most, he was made
| acquainted with common labor both in the
shop and field; but, previously, and as pre-
liminary, that lie might touch every string of
the human heart, from the lowest to the high
est, it was made necessary that he should be
born in a manger.


Of course, with the ideas at present held by
the wealthy, and by those to whom has been
given the full count of talents, this physical
development for their children will be dis
dained, and it will remain for the COM
mon people, gradually, and perhaps, during
many ages, and in the interior, and re-
mote from the contamination of cities,
to fix the condition by which, to the
many, progress is to be secured, and upon
which is to be based the outgrowth Of broad
culture which we express by the word intuition.
1t is plain that these conditions will be founded,
first, upon useful industry; for only 10y this
means can the full reflex power by which tho
mind acts upon the body, and the body upon
the mind be established. That the human
race in its progress is leaning forward toward
this consummation there can be no doubt; and
when it shall be reached it will be seen that, if
such thing were longer possible, there could
be no greater misfortune than to be born the
son of an Emperor.

The reference of the Senate Tenure Office
bill to the House Judiciary Committee seems
to have been unexpected in Washington, as ID
certainly was unfortunate; although there were
some very apparent reasons for anticipating
resistance by the House TO the prompt passage
of the Senate measure. We wish the reasons
for this resistance did not include a
spirit of mere hostility to anything the Sen
ate may want which we are sorry to see some
Representatives taking frequent occasion to
display. The Senate is by no means perfect;
we have ourselves very frequently regretted its
course on such subjects as Indian treaties and
land grants, and it is quite possible that the
House has at times deferred too much to the
more permanent body. But the Tenure
of-Office act only confers upon it
powers which the House very strenuously
held that it ought to have. 1t
has not been very long since Gen. Butler and
Gen. Logan themselves were equally clear upon
that point. If they thought it not only consti-
tutional but needful then, they ought to under
stand that constitutionality does not change
with q change of administration that what
they considered necessary, irrespective OF the
President, year ago, ought not to be decided
by any conflicting reports of the Presidents
wishes now; and that mere dislike of the
Senate as at present organized is not sufficient
reason for attempting to strip it of a power
that, by their own past views, the Senate ought

Mattoon having there pledged himself to stand

the efforts to cripple the law as already sub
stantially defeated. In the interests OF order,
obedience to law, and public morality which
they have thus so greatly subserved, we thank
the Senators right heartily for their action.

The effort of Senator Tweed to secure public
money for certain Catholic Schools, in no way
connected with the Public School System, was
so disguised as to make some head

it was reported; the Senate caucus, last night
