" Shall we veer be able to reduce the usual day's work to eight hours ?' Yes; if the laborer• will consent to forego meantime the indulgence of all fee, titious- appetites, Eight hPurs faithful labbr per day will provide for all oir real needs ; while eighteen will not suffice to satiate all our superimposed; cravings for sensual inclulgen e.

'It is the first step that costs,' in this as, in most things. The youth who has saved, hall his first' year's earnings will seldom cease to save thereater. I have heard men talk of Benjamin Franklin's pithy maxims as though they had made his countrymen sordid and t meanly parsimonious—a nation of misers and skinflints. I fail to see proof of this. Our chanties are munificent, not • t� say ostentatipus—witnesethose evoked by the desolation of Chicago. During forte years obiereation in this city, I haye seldom known a fair, appeal tether benevolence to pass unheeded. If giving would extinguish pauperism, 1 think One Thousand Millions of Dollars Would .readily be subscribed and paid to achieve that end. Alas! we all know that alms- givig would not achieve it—that, after we Mid raised and disbursed the full' Billfon, there would be morebeggars and more suffering from want than there now are. Bailing out the ocean is a rational undertaking compared with that of ex- tinguishing pauperism by alms -giving. • The greet need Of our age is Manliness —that spirit of Slf-Respect and Self - Trust which silently says; : "You may - " have lelillionse I have_ nothing ; I am "content with, what -I earn, and do not " want your Millions until 1 shall have " fairly earned ' them. 1 do not seek "your company nor value you one whit t` more fori your Millions : 1 envy you "not their. possession;. hate you no "more than I love you because of your " wealth ; should you ever need my " services you can have them by fairly "paying for them; that done we shall "stand on a footing of perfect equality, "as. we do now. If you fancy I will " cringe and smirk to win your favor, "when I can find eord-ood to cut at a "fair price and thereby live incurring no "obligation, profiting by no patronage "whatever, that shows that you do not " know m." But this spirit is only possible in men of chastened appetites as well as heoric sotels. Diogenes in his tub, asking no • odd.s of Alexander of Macedon, but that he would no longer interrupt the philos- opher's share of - the common sunshine, would have been a pretender and a cheat had. he pined for the banquets of Apicirts, the wines of Cyprus and of Scio. He was the peer of the great conqueror, only because he had long .ago triumphedeover the appetites whereby the vast majority are led captive and enslaved. Alexander, enthralled by ignoble yet imperious pas- sim:me-instinctively recognized. liis-maelter in the cynic -who conamanded everything because he coveted nothing. Vainly do we, by invention after inven- tion, •increase the efficiency of our exer- tions while we see no limit to our de- sires. The Sewing Machine trebles the seamstress's capacity for execution ; so we cover our dresses all overswith fancy stitching, and so render theinmorecost- ly than before. Of what avail is the Steam -Plow's marvelous efficiency, if the plowmen deserts the field, insisting that he will live by sophistry as a lawyer or by quackery as a doctor? In -vent and improve as we may, we shall be nowise the gainers so long as we practically esteem it to be the -chif end of man as little as he may and . uch as he can. st artisan to -day consumes h were once monopolized nd lordly few. Is the ar- cl by this diffusion? Time e was satisfied with coarse rser raiment; at length, he achieved the possibility of being drunk a week at Christmas, though obliged. to be sober- all the rest of the year ;_ should we congratulate him that he may now, if he chooses, reel to bed every night, and. that he often improves his privilege? Is it fortunate for him that he m ay begin to to defile himself with tobacco while hardly yet in his teens, and that he thenceforth snuffs, smokes and chars himself out of all natural purity of taste, and at length into his coffin ? To my percetion, it is clear that far beyond ability to earn or to secure more of this worlds goods than now fall to his lot, he needs wisdom- to guide his appetites and trineess to control them. — Wood's Househcld illaya:-.ne.

The result of this is that the supply of the article is soon greatly in excess of the de- mand, and. when such is the case the natural result is that the article falls in - It is asserted that the mechanics only want to put a fair value on their material and labor. Now they are very apt to fix this value just a little too high. Would they be willing to pay the farmers for every article of produce just what the farmers Would. call a fair price if left to fix that price themselves? I certainly would not. Now, the mechanics mast not think that theirs will be the only combination. If they succeed in carry- ing it out, we shall soon have plenty more to checkmate it. We shall have the millers, butchers, farmers, &c., all forming combinations and teaching us what their idea Of ,fair prices for their commodities are. It is stated that the farmer does not require any combination list of prices, that he will find the prices of produce in the newspapers; but I would remark that the newspaper market report and a combination tariff are wide- ly different things. The market prices in the newspapers are.only records of the latest actual transactions between buyers and sellers. They are not, in many cases, what the sellers would call fair prices; neither are they what the buyers would call fair prices, but only what they mutually agreed upon.. . One salt manufacturers tried to fix a value upon their salt such as no doubt they considered a fair and reasonable one, viz,, about $1 65 per barrel, andby com binine• tried to keep it at that figure. Thefdicl not succeed, and they were in a pretty good position to carry it out. They only accumnlated theus- ands of barrels in their store- houses. At last tired of holding it they offered it et what consumers were willing to pay. The result was that they soon converted it into cash, pro- • bably not at a great profit. lts a goocl deal has been said on this subject already I wish to be brief, but as it is an import- ant subject and one whicb deeply affects the interests of the community, it is necessary that it be discussed in order that right views may be formecl upon it. One can hardly take up a newspaper but the eye rests upon "strikes" among workmen. One time it is the ship carpenters, then coal miners, next it is bookbinders, and lately the great Globe itself would have been annihilated by a combination of printers if they had been able fortrinately they were not.

Excitement ran high during the trial of Phcebe Campbell for the murder of her lnAband in Nissouri. 'The Court room Wes crowded daily; many going long be- fore the time kof opening the Court so to be certain of ladmittance. Many ladies aVailed themselves of the opportunity. The addresses' of the Counsels on Bides were lengthy. Mr. Cornih, Counsel for prisoner, took the brow -beating policy so natural to himself ; he represented the officers of the law as blood hounds, whose only object was to hunt down an innocent woman. It was unfortunate for the prisoner that she had. not as her Counsel a man of some moral standing in society. The Queen's Counsel, Mr. Mc Kenzie, gavea masterly address carrying the entire audienc:veal' him: The jury were only absent about forty minutes, and returned. their verdict, "guilty." The, scene that ensued during the passing of the sentence by the Judge was very exciting; the prisoner for the first time gave way to sobs and tears. Throughout the trial ste seemed perfect- ly composed and but little affected at the recitals of the horrid deed. The comnami- ity agree that the sentence is a just oue. Most persons think -that the father should. be tried for the same offence. Since file trial the prisoner is quite cabn and attests her innocence.

No clue is yet found of the guilty party. —A rather strange and fatal accident recently occurred. to a farmer named. Hay, a resident of the township of. Downie. In going to the well for water his feet slipped and he fell backwards on to one of the pairs which he was carry- ing, the fastening of the handle of which pressed against his kidneys, producing inflammation, and which, despite the surgical skill applie,d, terminated his career a few days after the acident. — The Mitchell Advocate says :— "We paid. a visit to the workshops of Messrs. Thomson & Williams the other day and were surprised to find so many mowers and. reapers already fitted up as - are at present in their show room. We were informed that the demand. for these implements is already so great that it is necessary to commence their manufae- . ture early, in order to meet the demand. in time for harvest. Over fifty have al- ready been disposed of, and as the firm. Will only construct three hundred mote this yea, orders must be sent in early to be filled." — Rev. D. B.
