Is our climate, bo Inappropriately styled tem perate, it takes some experience and judgment to learn how to lire. After being frozen in winter, and drowned in spring, we are sud denly parobed with blistering beat More we have had even a premonitory hint of warmth to urge lis to get a "summer suit." June holla us, July broils us, and August sets us fcy to simmer, till at length, with the glorious Autumn, comes golden days, when life Is a delight and all nature luxuriates in fulness of joy. To the overtaxed denizen of the city it be comes a question of health and future useful ness, where and how he oan find shelter from the heat and relaxation from labor. The sud den transition to an almost tropical tempera ture makes the pavement, like the furnace Beven times heated, and body and brain both crave safety in flight. Most people live in such a hurry, taking so little thought for the morrow, that when the moment of suffocation comes they fly to the nearest popular resort as the place most readily accessible. Those who have striven to escape from their own tediousness all winter need the excitement of the popular gathering plaoe in summer, and large numbers seek there the gaiety and fashion denied to them elsewhere. To such the "hop" at the springs or the sea-Bide offers an irresistible attraction, but there is another lesser multitude, the members of which are not afraid of solitude, and to whom quiet is a boon, who would most willingly escape from the tumultuous crowd and seek repose in communion with nature. The revivifying powers of ocean are as im measurable as its waves, and there can bs no more potent life-giver than its breezes. In wandering by the deer sea its musio breathes poetry to the most prosaio, and the ever varying monotony of the marohing waves carries refreshment to the over-wearied brain. Along our shore are multitudes of quiet spots, where the wanderer can gather refreshment, physical, mental aud spiritual, ani, unmo lested by the throng, learn the wonders of the deep, and these happy nooks of refuge oaa he found at the expense of a little inquiry aud forethought. There is even a fashionable way of Laing adventurous, and a prescribed method for going a gypsying. But the lover of nature need not jeek her afar in the forests of Maine or on the hills of New Hampshire; she oan be found as wildly glorious nearer at home, and our own forests have many wild and pic turesque nooks unknown to tourists, who offer themselves up as willing victims to the mosquitoes of the Adirondacks. Within the boundaries of Pennsylvania there is bo much wildcess and beauty on lofty mountain-top and in deep-hidden gorge, by icy spring heads and clear rivulets, that Bed ford, Cresson, and the Water Gap are but types of the wondrous variety of the glorious Keystone State. The lovely shores of the Sus quehanna and Juniata, the wilder beauty of the country traversed by the waters of the Delaware, the Monongahela, and the Alleghany offer an ample variety of landscape to the lover of the picturesque. The hills rise iu beauty around Bethlehem, and in glory around Maucu Chunk, while in the long range of mountain counties there are deep defiles and grand emi nences hardly known beyond the limits of the distriota they adorn. There are forests to be explored, which are yet unknown except to the woodsman, and caves whose existenoe is as yet hardly more than conjeotural, while the lovely mountain brooklets are peopled With multitudes of trout and what skilled tourist has a better taste for the piotaresque than the trout 1 The enforced leisure of summer, or a few glorious autumn days snatched as the best of all holidays, cannot be better bestowed than in exploring these nntraversed wildernesses, and lovely sequestered nooks which lie beyond the ordinary route of travel, and have heretofore escaped the tourists, who persist In the eearoh the unknown along the old systematized .rack by which the fashionable traveller has Bought it for years. A Singular illustration of the peculiar posi tion of politioal affairs in Franoe la given by the fact that a proclamation strongly denounc ing the Emperor, which ia pabliohed as a proof of the existence of a revolutionary or ganisation ia supposed to be an invention of the police agents, devised to alarm the public The proclamation gives a brief but pointed expression to the leading ideas of the oppo nents of the Imperial polioy in the French Chambers, but it concludes with the advioe that the whole people should unite iu a coup d'etat to overthrow the Emperor, and it is headed with the old emblems of the French Republic liberty, equality, and fraternity. If this be In reality, a police trick, it is evi dently the object of its authors to cast oppro brium npon the men who are endeavoring in a legitimate and constitutional way to oritloUe the policy of Louis Napoleon, and to expose his blunders, by identifying them with the Bed Revolutionists, whom the business world fearB and abhors. The logic of the device la "you must aeoept the Emperor with all hit faults and follies, or chaos will come again, and robbery, riot, and red-handed murder reign supreme." Is Mormonlgm Likely to Survive? Somb people are prone to look with astonish ment at the rise and progress of Morinonism; with the full light of the nineteenth oentary, they ask, Can it be possible that itoh a reli gion oan attract votaries from all classes f And, alas, history too well teaohea us that it is not only the Ignorant ol asses who are attracted by new doctrines and new teachers. That a man like Joe Smith should be the founder of a large and apparently growing sect ought to surprise no one who remembers that Joanna Southoote attracted by her impostures some of the most intellectual of the people of London, and history is full of examples of a like kind. Intellectual people are attraoted by Spiritual ism. No Intelligence is proof against super stition. Lord Bacon believed in astrology, and plenty of great men believed both in astrology and witchcraft. No two seots oan be more opposite in their views than Mormouism and Shakerism the one allows marriage to an unprecedented extent, while the other does not approve of marriage at all; yet it is a curious fact that both seots are composed of indus trious, thrifty, and careful agriculturists aud pains-taking housekeepers. The founder of the Shakera was a poor old English woinau named Ann Lee, now called Mother Ann. Coexisting with these seots ia another call ing themselves Ferfeotionists. The chief seat of their societies is at Oneida Creek, in New York State. It seems to be somewhat imita tive of some of the French Communistic organizations. It resembles Mormouism some what, that instead of a man having many wives, the societistio nature of the system enables them entirely to dispense with mar riage. A community of goods, they say, im plies a community of wives. Brother Noyes, who appears to be the Brigham Young of the party, maintains that it is a blunder to say either that a man can only love once in hia life, or that he can only love one object at a time; hence, in the so-called Bille family, living at Oneida Creek, the central domestic fact of the household is the oomplex marriage of its members to each other and to all. It is in no measure ot ridioule that we venture thus to speak of what m'ght be termed the eccentrio sects of this country; it is chiefly of Mormonism and its vitality that we at pre sent have to de. Occupying a territory of their own selection, apparently pros perous after having undergone many persecutions, it presents a strange prob lem as to whether it will continue to flourish, or whether it will not rapidly sink into disso lution. Compared with Shakerism, it appeara at great disadvantage. Whatever may be thought of Shakerism, no charge of immorality was ever brought against it. Many persons' ideas may revolt at their opposition to mar riage, but of the purity of their lives no doubt has ever beeu raised. Of the oilier aoot w spoke of it in yet too new, and its numbers are too few, to cause much speculation as to whe ther it is destined for a short life or not; but Mormonism is a large community, and has attraoted attention in other countries than our own, and it obtaina accessions from foreign countries continually. Now, will the advance of the Pacific Railroad through their territory, thus making it nearer to the population of the States, strengthen Mormonism or weaken it f This would depend, in a great measure, on the successor to Brigham Young. Mohamedan. ism, as ia well known, continued to flourish even more suooessfully after Mohamed'a death than during his lifetime. It is true that Brigham Young is not the original founder of Mormonism; but there is every reason for believing that he possesses more personal influenoe than Joe Smith did. To compare Young with Mahomet would indeed be absurd; but the comparison as to the duration of their personal influences might be made. And here we say is the problem: Would the sompletion of the Pacific Railroad, by infusing a large praotical old-fashioned brought-up people Into the midst of Mormon ism strengthen that organization or weaken it ? It would seem that Mormonism could not be strengthened by the aooession of suoh a population as must necessarily flow to their settlement, in addition to which there is to be taken into consideration the vast immigration from Europe, principally Germans at least the Germans most generally settle out West. With such institutions the Germans have very little affinity. A sturdy, intelligent raoe, no new-fangled notions are likely to lead them astray from the paths of their fore fathers. These oircumstanoea must be taken Into account when reflecting on the pro bable continuance of the Mormon institution. It therefore seems as if it must be weakened by coming in contact with the people we have just spoken of. Another cause for their de cline might happen in the t allure of a new leader, in the event of Brigham Young's death, to possess the personal influenoe which this man undoubtedly possesses. Should a feeble leader arise in his plaoe the chances would seem to be that their decline might be as muoh hastened by this cause as by the influx of a population from the States, not to speak of the emigrants from foreign countries. Or it might be, as has happened to organizations which in some few particulars only it re sembles, that, like St. Simonianism or Fou rieriam, it may be doomed to a short existenoe from the inherent weakueaa of its hold on mankind. A iilbobam forwarded from Chicago yester day, announces that "the First Exposition of the Woollen Gooda Manufacturers of tan Northwest," has been opened in that city, and that "samples of goods are on exhibition from all the Western States." The rapid rise and progress of manufactures in the West is one of the notable events of this era. Although the Aggregate amount of their products still falls far below the products of the Atlantio States, a very important commencement has beeu made, and ample proof has been given that the necessity of diversifying Industry is dearly reooguked, and that the people are no longer willing to oenfine their attention exolnMvely te agrionltnre and oontmeroe. The Western cities are rapidly beoomlng great manufaotur irjg centres, aad In some of the rural districts an immense number of woollen manufactories have been established. The returns of the tixt census will afford evidenoe of a much more rapid progress of mannfaotarea in th West than was ever exhibited in any period of tea years in the Atlantio States. Tbb Fbbb-Tbadb Lbaoch has put up fUming posters at several prominent places in Phila delphia announcing in deoeptive phrases its profeesed principles. It would have been more candid "if, instead of these vagae gene ralities, it had plainly declared its objects and. purposes, and clearly explained that "it holds" that the United States should swell the long list of viotims of the commercial polioy of Great Britain tbat American manufactures should be destroyed and the wages of Ameri can workmen reduced to the standard of English pauper labor that the fruits of the time, money, and ingenious labor employed to diversify our industry should be destroyed, and the industrial population of this country be again confined to farmers, merchants, miners, aud transporters and tbat the ambi tion of Great Britain to become "the work shop of the world" should be gratified, not withstanding the great loss suoh a suicidal suriender of our numerous natural advan tages would entail upon this country, and the enormous profits the British manufacturers would derive from thirty-five millions of American indnstrial vassals. The Democratic Party ia committed alike by its platform and the declaration of its can didate for Vice President to overthrow the newly organized Governments in the South, and thus to subject the nation to the perils and annoyances of another reconstruction of the Rebel States. They scarcely attempt to conceal that the chief object they hare in view, in this revolutionary proceeding, is to restore the politioal power of the South to the men who precipitated the Rebellion, prolonged the war, subjected the nation to untold mise ries, and who now, unmindful of their defeat and regardless of the sufferings they have already caused, announoe their desire and determination to rule or ruin the Amerioan people and to inaugurate a new civil conflict if the Government they vainly tried to over throw is not administered in their interest. Well may Wade Hampton boast that he still preserves a Confederate flag, and that he ia prepared to hoist it in triumph as soon a3 South Carolina is reconstructed according to Democratic ideasl A Contrast. The Hon. James Thomas Elliott, of Owmdeu, Arkansas, in a letter acced ing to a request for permission to use his nme as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress in the Arkansas seoood Diatriot, says:"! am a truly aDd thoroughly recon structed Rebel. I say tbls In no canllug or boosting spirit. I detest a bypoorite and de spine I be man wbo, like tbe valn-glorlous Pharisee ol old, makes an ostentatious parade of assumed humility wnen bis beart is full of pride and deceit. When I say tbat I am a re constructed Rebel, I do not say It in that spirit which suggests extraordinary virtue or claims extraordinary considerations; nor, on tbe otber band, do I say It in tbat spirit of undue humility which suggests a craven and ooward heart. But I sy It In that open, frank and maDly spirit of one wbo has tbe honesty to confess tbat be bas done wrong, and tbe courage to say tbat he is sorry for IU I unhesi tatingly and unreservedly aocept the Republi can platform as adopted at Chiongo, and will sink or swim with It; and believe tbat tbe prin ciples therein enuuclated contain tbe great fundamental Idea of restoring tbe Union upon a fair, stable and lasting basis. I believe tbe Republican party bas proved true and faithful to Its promises and policy, and will finally suo c ed In establishing tbat policy." What a con trast to this manly oourse Is presented by the traitorous effusions of John Forsyth, of tbe Mobile Register, In which paper he Bays tbat fbould Congress lmpeaoh and attempt to re move tbe President In September, be "ought to refuse to give up the reins, aud if tbe radical faction elects to use force, let them shoulder the responsibility and the consequences." It Is clear, Forsyth further declares, tbat the friends aud defenders of the Constitution, by wbtoh it means the Houtbern Rebels and tbe Northern opponents of the war Raphael Semmei and C. L ValiandlKbam, for example nve foroorue and gives buck enough, and should now bait and take anoiher step to the rear, Hopes of "The Lost Catjsk." " General Hampton bas altered In no way; not one honest man south of Mason and Dixon's line, is ashamed of the musket be bore or tbe sword be drew In defense of tbe Confederate flag. The man who says that he Is ashamed of It, lies." These are tbe words of the Charleston Mercury. And again It says: "We believe tbat we loughl lor our rights, Uilven on byfanalloal radicals. We believe so still. If there ia to be peace, tbe North must aocept this fact. We meet on a parity of good-wlli, or we meet not at all. We ask no more than we give, and we give no more than we ask. If It Is tbe expectation of tbe men of tbe North that Ueueral Hampton, or men of tbe boutb, aro to go there or elsewhere with bated breath, swallow our deedH. reoaut our principles, aud fawu at tbe feel of Northern men, they mistake both blua and us. We meet us lrlenus, or else as enemies." FKOM A SOU TUB UN (STANDPOINT. Among tbe Woutheru Journals which are anxious to enlighten the negro, Is tbe New Orleans Pica yune. It tells him tbat It would be muoh belter for him to be in fad a Rebel, If It were true that voting tbe Democratic ticket made him so th'.n to be a traitor to bis family, o bis race, to bis Slate, to bis country, and to himself, by continuing bis slavery to a league and a party "which design to put h Im and his in far worse condition, aud to deprive him even more of the rights of manhood, than did the old system ot blaveiy itself." 'Gentleman Gkohqk." Mi. George II. Pen. dletou, who did not gel the nomination for the Presidency, lately made a speech at Lafayette, Indiana, wherein be denounces tbe Republican as "bell hounds," Hitherto Mr. Pendleton ha. enjoyed tbe reputation of being something of a gentleman; but this little iucldent shows him to be quite as mucli a in aster of uugeuleel slang a ia brick Poineroy hluielf. Lobd Napibk, of Magdala, said In one of his recent speeches In London tbat the "way to defeat an Aslatlo enemy la by going straight to their beads on every occasion."
