It is the depth at which we live, and

eyes.
We must work and aflirm, but we
have no guess of the value of what we
do or say.
Civilization depends on morality.
Everything good in man leans on some

Nothing is so indicative of the deep

Nature has laid for each the founda

will build therein.
Man is the only creature endowed
with the power of laughetf ; is he not,
also, the only one that deserves to be

A mau s ho has tastes like mine, but
in greater power, will rulel.no any day,
and make me love my ruler.
Wise men are not wise at all hours,

So much of our time is preparation,
so much routine, and o much retrospect,
that the pith of each man's genius con

The lovely world of childhood closes

tencc. We live by communion with the
substances of the universe, and the full

number of "objects from which a person
draws nutriment.
The generality of men are limited
enough to their eonceptioiis to suppose
that every other should he fashioned by
education according to the pattern of
themseles. Happy then are those
whom fate takes charge of, and educates
according to their several natures.
In the intercourse of social life, it is
by little acts of watchful kindness, rc
curriug daily and hourly, and opportu
nities of doing kindness, if sought for,
are forever starting up, it is by words,
by tones, by gestures, by looks, that af
fection is won and preserved.
The mean mind occupies itself with
sneering, carping aud f.iul Minding, and
is ready to scoff at everything but Impu
dent affrontary and successful vice.
The greatest consolation of such persons
are the defects of men of character. "If
the wise erred not," says George Her
bert, "it would go hard with fools."
What maintains one yice would
bring u? two children. You may think,
perhaps, that a little tea, or a little
punch now and then, diet a little more
costly, clothes a little finer, aud a little
entertainment now and then, can be no
great matter, but many a little, makes a
mickle. Reware of little expenses. A
small leak will sink a great ship.
He is a strong man who can hold
down his opinion. A man cannot utter
two or three sentences without disclos
ing to intelligent ears precisely where
he stands in life and thought, namely,
whether in the kingdom of the senses
and the understanding, or in that of the
ideas and imagination, in the realm of
intuitions and duty. People seem not
to sec that their opinion of the world Is
also a confession of character.
Men are inclined to content them
selves with what is commonest. The
spirit and the senses so easily grow dead
to the impressions of the beautiful and
perfect, that every one should study by
all methods, to nourish in his mind the
faculty of feeling these things. It is
only because they are not used to taste
of what Is excellent, that the generality
of people take delight in silly and in
sipid things, provided they be new.
For this reason one ought, every day, at
least, to hear a good song, read a good
poem, see a fine picture, and if it were
possible to speak 'a few reasonable
words.
A. re there no Hoiiewt JlcnV
One of the daily papers discussing
the subject of defalcations lays down
these two propositions:
" There is no man who will ulti
mately resist the temptation to use
funds which arc absolutely in his
control for a long time ; and in using
them he docs to with the most hon
orable intentions, trusting to secrecy
until he shall have paid back every
cent."
Both of these statements arc ob
jectionable because they are not
founded in truth. It would be in
the highest degree discreditable to
(he human race, if the first proposi
tion were true, and exceedingly
dangerous to admit the justico of
the second. Let us look at them
separately :
1. "There is no man who will ul
timately resist (he temptation to use
funds which arc absolutely in his
control for a long time." Is that so ?
Then there are no honest men living ;
then we may not put confidence in
anybody ; then character is no basis
for trust,and a defalcation or robbery
is but a question of time. Give any
man lime aud opportunity uud he
will prove himself a villain. Now,
we do not tako so sad a view of so
ciety as this. "We bear in mind that
in proportion to the vast number of
trusted men, the breaches of trust
arc very few. In such a community
as New York, Boston or Philadel
phia, the number of men having ab
solute control of large trusts, as ex
ecutors, agents, guardians, trustees
of estates and minors, is to be count
ed by tens and hundreds of thou
sands. Scarcely a man of position
and character but is in some way
made the trustee of money which
he is to handle and guard for others.
Some of these meu are Treasurers of
great institutions, with large sums
lying in their hands, subject to their
individual direction, and at any
time they could hypothecate securi
ties, raise money, aud on it depart
out of the city, orspeculate in stocks.
This is the temptation which over
comes weak and wicked men. But
lo say that no " man will resist this
temptation " is to ignore the fact
that the immense majority of men
do resist; that the defaulters arc
only as one in a thousand miserable
exceptions to the general rule, which
is honesty, not robbery. The facts
are bad enough without making
them worse by exaggeration. "We
would not increase general distrust
by impeaching the many who arc en
titled to the more confidence because
others forfeit character and drown
themselves in the perdition of dis
honest men. Good men would
shrink from holding trust, if it
were held as a fact that all men will
betray their trusts with plenty of
time aud opportunity.
2. But the second statement is
even more dangerous than the first.
The one excites distrust, the second
stimulates to crime. The writer
says: "in using tnora (trust funds)
he does so with the most honorable
intentions, trusting to secrecy until
he shall have paid back every cent."
The point wc ma!.e is that the word
honorable in such a connection is
unfortunate and injurious to good
morals. The intention is in the
highest degree dishonorable which
encourages a trustee to peril the
money of another for his own ad
vantage. The intention to restore
is the ealvc to his conscience, or
rather the- mask that he wears while
he robs his innocent, unsuspecting
and helpless victims. Honorable
intentions, indeed! A man being
entrusted with the money of anoth
er, says to mmsell: "1 will take
this money and go upon the street
with it and operate till I have doub
led it; then I will put it back where
it now is, and the trust will be as
good as before. I will be so much
richer, and nobody will know how
it was done." Is that honest? The
trust was safe as it stood. Or it was
where the law and his judgment di
rected him to place it. But he re
solved lo put it in peril for the sake
of making himself rich. His inten
tion to put the money back was part
of the scheme which he formed for
his own advantage at the hnlard of
the trust. The resolution was dis
honest. The intention was no pal
liation, but was a cloak for the crime
and, therefore, was in no sense hon
orable. The moment that he decid
ed to violate his obligation as a
trustee the man was lost. Having
no better right to take that money
or his own use than he would have
had if it were in the keeping of
another, he was a thief at heart as
soon as he determined on its appro
priation. We are the more explicit on this
point because it is just here that men
deceive themselves, and are deceiv
ed by such reasoning as we have
cited. They vainly imagine that
restoration atones for the appropria-
tion of what was not their own ; as
if it wero n sufficient excuse for
highway robbery that the robber in
tended to restore, and actually did
restore, at some future time, the
purse he took. The Trustco who
misappropriates the funds in his
hands is much worso than n thief,
is meaner than a robber; the moan
ucss being greater as the risk of de
tection is diminished.
These arc times whcifthis subject
ought to be fully understood. It is
well to set before the best of men
the dangers of temptation when
facilities arc so great, and the stand
ard of morality is so fearfully low.
So many have been the branches of
trust on the part of Treasurers and
Ditcctors and Presidents, as well as
of private trustees, that men have
come to look upon these offences
with a leniency that is exceedingly
uniavorauiQ to puunc virtue, it is
now very hard to make a "breach of
trust" a crime punishable with im
prisonment. The "honorable inten
tion" to restore palliates the sin and
wipes out the shame in the cyc3 of
a money-getting generation. But it
is not -so in the eyes of Him who
sceth in secret. It ought not to be
so in the eye of the law, or of any
good man. N. Y. Observer.
Senator Plutnb of Ivansas, has
unfortunately given the Eastern
press the opportunity to bewail the
unripeness and incapacity of "West
ern statesmanship. A committee
was raised by the Senate, previous
to the late adjournment, to sit du
ring recess and examine military
aud report at the next session all
about army operations and give its
opinion as to the feasibility of re
ducing the army. The committee
had a preliminary meeting and re
solved that its sessions should take
place at the various watering places
of the country, commencing at
White Sulphur Springs. It is now
investigating the army at White
Sulphur Springs, but Plumb is not
there. He writes to say that when
he investigates the army he wants
to go where the army is and not to
a lashionable watcrinj' place. He
says he hopes, after the committee
has watered itself sufficiently at
White Sulphur Springs, Saratoga,
Long Branch, and the rest of the
military stations, where the army
don't happen to be now, it will have
time to go up to the North-west
frontier and take a look at army op
erations at short langc. This is not
slntcsmr.nship. A man who don't
know all about the army without
having ever seen a soldier except
those gallant heroes that fight on
leave of absence at the watering
places, during warm weather, is not
fit to be a Senator. A man who
would recklessly imperil the lives
of the great and good statesmen,
who have the welfare of the whole
country resting on their shoulders,
by taking them up to the frontier
where the army is, and where the
furtive red man fires miscellaneous
ly at citizens, Senators, or soldiers,
from behind trees and rocks and
crevices, or the lava beds, is a harum-
scarum lunatic, and the people of
Kansas should cross his name from
the Senatorial roll-call. The next
thing we shall hear of will be a pro
position for a committee on Indian
affairs, going over to the agencies to
sec whether the red mau is thin
for starvation, while the agent, the
trader, and the contractor are grow
ing fat and rich, and so on. This
foolishness must be nipped in the
bud. A line must be drawn against
Plumb forthwith. It would take
but few Plums of this kind to utter
ly destroy the comfort and break
down the health of Congressional
Statesmen sitting as committcss dur
ing recess, at the expense of a pater
nal government at the watering
places of the country. Lincoln

I must confess to a certain warmth
of heart and conscious tenderness of
feeling toward boys about thcagc of
ten or twelve years. Indeed I do
not remember the time when I did
not prefer them to girls; or at any
rate, 1 liked them as well, with their
boisterous ways and rough speeches.
I am talking now of genuine boys,
not girl boys who are tied to their
mother's apron string, and who
would no more give a whoop or a
yell in the house than they would
try to be mauly.
To be sure, such boys as I mean
arc an ungodly set to yet along with
while they are young. But take
comfort; mothers, they make the
best men after all. Their sins arc
many and varied, although not very
flagrant, and will not bu likely to
grow "beautifully less ' until they
havo committed a i'uw unpardonable
ones, i.e., the sin of being found out ;
then I think with the aid of the
right kind of punishment, they will
commence curtailing their various
propensities aud " turn over a new
leaf," or a whole volume of them,
and have them bound iu calf.
Notwithstanding their many dep
redations against the quiet of a
household, they . are pretty nice
things to have around, mid so, as 1
take such an interest in them, I am
just going to ask them a few ques
tions which I hope they'll remem
ber. What do you say, boys; will they
bo acceptable? Say "yes," now,
and make me glad by knowing that
you aro too polite to say " no."
I havo often wondered, dear little
boys, all over the country, if every
one of you were trying to be kind
and polite to everybody. If you
ever forget to say "good-morning"
or "good-night" to papa or mam
ma, and, iu fact, to every one about
the house. Or if you neglected to
say " if you please " or " thank you "
for everything you ask for or re
ceive. Or do any of my boys ever
come into the house without wiping
their feet thoroughly on the mat or
taking off their hats, I hope they do
not throw them on the table, lounge
or lloor, for their mothers or sisters
to pick up. Or do they go racing
into thediuing-room with unwashed
faces or uncombed hair, aud sit
down in a rough disorderly way at
the table, taking no heed of the nice,
clean napkins mamma has put iu the
rings, but as soon as they are helped
commence shoveling their food
into their mouths with knives in
stead of forks; handling two or
three piece of bread before they de
cide to take one piece; sticking
their own knives into the butter or
salt ; Bitting with their mouths wide
open, waiting for a chance to inter
rupt some older person. Ux.

An English lady, who can cook,
enlarges iu a lively letter to the
Loudon Standard, on one of the
real grievances of the present day
to-wit : The number of utter use
less and idle young wives,
who, being incapable themselves,
spoil their servants, aud then won
der that the husband leaves the ill
cooked meal, perhaps ill-served, al
so, to dine at his club. The' say,
contemptuously, they were not
brought up to that kind of thing,
and consider it beneath them. This
lady replies that she was not
brought up to it, cither, but she de
nies that it is beneath any gentle
woman to try to contribute to the
comfort of those around her. It
she need not absolutely work with
her own hands, tho mistress of a
house should certainly havo suffi
cient knowledge to direct her sub
ordinates, or they will soon discov
er her ignorance and become insub
ordinate. Nor need the absolute
performance of these duties inter
fere with oilier pursuits. This lady
confesses that, after pastry or cake
making in the morning, her hand
is sometimes too tremulous for her
favorite oil-painting or to help her
husband in the prepe ration of ob
jects for his microscope, but it is
easy enough to find some other oc
cupation when this is the case; and
she has not lost her love for art,
nor her appreciation of science, bc
rfliisc she is happy enough to be a
lady who can cook. N. Y. Obser

Politics used to be a war, as ono

a war of factions entirely. Why tho
