has had to Jo with the press is aware that
nrliclei in newspapers are of two kind
namely, those which arc written for 11 '
purpose not avowed, and those which are
written spontaneously, fromthe impulse
and conviction of the writer' own mind.
And any one who lias written articles of
both descriptions is aware, further, that
a man who is writing with perfect sincer
ity, writing with a pure desire to move,
interest, or convince, writes better, than
when the necessities of his vocation com
pel him to grind! the axt (or a party or an
individual. There is more or less axe
grinding ;!o;ie in every newspaper ollice
in the world ; and a perfectly independent
newspaper never existed. But when a

and only then, he writes his best. Life

" Seeming sound and healthy leelh,
which have never given intimation of de
fection, often contain in somi secret re
ccsa carious opening, through which ex
ternal ueiils insidiously enter, and at first
gradually wounding and irritating tho del-

which none but but the victim of ncitralgi 1

odors from his lungs, speak ils uiletisive

all his ideas. The punishment which na
ture inflicts are too well know to require
enumeration.
Vc will say nothing about the punish
ments inflicted by conventional laws, be
cause they nra all familiar to every otie ;
but there is a kind of punishment for of.
feitses that very frequently does great in
justice, because it precedes trial and con
viction. No greater punishment need to
be inflicted upon any one who has feeling
than the manifestation of displeasure by
1 rt . . ....
one from wnom unection ana kindness are
due. The mother finds a lamp broken and
ike oil spilled on the carpet in Susan's
bed-room. She accuses her of gross care
lessness, convicts her wiihoul trial, and
proceeds immediately to the infliction of
punishmeii'. She screams Susan's name
with angry voice. This is one punish
ment. Susan comes, feeling very badly
on account of the ungry manner in which
she is culled. Tho mother looks ut her
will) reproach in her countenance. This
is another punishment. She points at the
broken lamp aud (lie large spot of oil on
ihe Cai pi'l. and ask her if site isn't asham
ed of such carelessness, aud rattles out the
punishment aa fust as her tongue can ul
icr it, without waiting to hear whether
the arairgued culprit has any thing to of
fer iu extenuation or not. After tl.e has
made her stiller ubtutt us much as she thinks
is due to such an net of carelesssness,
she slops und learns from a younger sis
tcr that the cat threw thej..mp down in
th" act of capturing a mouse, after Susan
pot up and left the room. She heard the
'amp fall an J the m usc squeak. Here
an innocent girl is punished very severe
ly, because Ihe domestiu code is always
.Iminislered wrong end foremost. And
this not the worst of it. The mother
;rnar(S with the punishment which the
reaction inflicts upon her, and tggravates
theinjuiy by an attempt at sell'-jusiiiica
ion. Well, she snys, you deserve lo be
scolded for putting the lamp on that shelf
where you know a mouse might come
and where the cat would be certain to
throw it down if she went lo catch the
mouse, as you know she always will if
here is one about the house. Thia is add
ing cruelty Id injury, and will ha punish
ed by suffering a large per centage of loss
in tho diminutionof the daughter's res
pect and affection.
Livery crabbed word or cross answer is
a punishment, and is either merited or not,
according to the guilt or innocence, of the
one who receives it ; and evory ill-natur
ed reprimand is a severe punishment, not
to be endured without resentment by those
of simul.tr natures, when inflicted without
adequate cause. Dut such is tlie nature
of the domestic penul law, that its punish
tnent must be inflicted without trial, for
if they were not, they would be remitted
by another law which will always step in
where there ia sufficient discretion aud
sympathy lo allow of a triul on the merits
This is the law of kindness, which is the
only one that should ever be administered
in household government. This law nev
er faila to coto'r.aiid obedience and respect
It never inflicts a wound upon the feelings
of innocence. Its gentle reproof, which
consists only in poiu'ing out the difference
between the right and the wrong, and
showing what aro the consequences, is ten
fold more cffc tual iu correcting tho er
rors of life than all the hard w-ords that
can b- hurled from a tcrmiganl's battery

" Our wonder i n it Ci.it minii'tr tl
not prsuoh better, but tl.al tlie:y preach at
all. A diffident young man (and all young
are difl!!e::t) with a subtilo conscience)
bulunced, like scales in a mint, on so hna
an edge that a mote will turn it, how shall
lie ever know his own mind, amidst a vice)
not only so multitudinous in items, but so
conflicting and con! radiclory Y Our im
pression is that a young minister should
put cotton in his ears, not in his con
science. Then in the exercise of common
sense, preach in such a way as in his cir
curaMatices, will do the work for whicli
preaching was ins.ituted.
" We have no doubt that a rigorous
landlord, having sharked it all the week,
screwing and griping omong liis tenants
would be better pleased to doze through
an able gospel sermon on' divino myster
ies, than lo be kept awake by a praUici
sermon that, among other things, sets
forth the duties of a Christian Landlord.
A broker who has gambled on a magnifi
cent scale all tho week, docs not go to
church to have his practical swindling an
alyzed and measured by the New Testa
ment spirit. A merchant, whoso last balo
of smuggled goods was safely stored on
Saturday night, and his brother merchant,
who on the same day swore a false in
voice through tlie Cus'.om House they
lon't go to the church to hear a sermon oil
faith, on angels, on tho resurrection. .
They have nothing invested on these sub
jects, they expect lho minister to be bold
nd orthodox. But if he wants respecta
ble merchant to pay amplepewrents,tlet
titii not vulgarize; tho pulpit, by introduc
ing commercial questions. A rich Chris-
ian brother owns largely in a distillery,
md is clamorous against lotting down tho
pulpit to the vulgarity of temperance ser
irmis. Another mnii ouys tux-titles, and

scrupulous appliance of every means that

.Men wish two departments in life; the
( cular and the rclijiuus. Between iheia
a high wall and on;que, is to be built.
They wish Ij do just what they pleaso for
six long days. Then stepping iha other
side of the wall, they wih the minister
to assuage their fears, to comfort their
conscience, and furnish them a clear ticket
aud insurance for heaven. By suth
shrewd management, our modern Milan-
iers are determined to show that a Chris

Poisons. Mr. Greely, in his strongest
article, in advocacy of the Maine Law,
places the right of legislative prohibition
solely on tlie ground that alcohol is a poi
son, and therefore) injurious iu any form
and in any qtlalitilj',
This argument, if a good one, applied
lo all poisons, and all substances, of which
poisons are the chief constituent. This
is the case, as everybody knows, with to
bacco, coffee and tea, which, by Mr. Gree
ley's logic, demand legislative prohibition.
Is Mr. Greeley willing to carry out this
principle ? To say nothing of tea and.
coffee, tobacco is certainly a virulent poi
son, as we.l as a disgusting nuisance, ia
itself, and its effects. Is Mr. Greely, on
the ground, ready to prohibit Its sale by
tine, imprisonment and confiscation?
Yes, or no ?
lie will sty, perhaps, that tobacco ia
not so bad a poison as alcohol. We think
il worte. But, in the same way, cider,
and wine, are not so deadly poison as rum
and brandy. If the legislature may make
distinctions between the relative virulence
of poisons, why not in one oase as well as
iu the other Y Has the legislature the
right lo prohibit the sale of an artiole rtl
common use, because il is a poison, an 1
