"'.r tlio ICdu Miioit.d f'olumn. Liberality of Miud j Everybody has heard that Alexander the Great, alter a lontf course ol ct'iiquest, I sighed for other worlds to win. 7 Ins iui ! moderate desire has been differently inter- j j pretcd, eiiher by an expression ol an over- | j weening ambition tliat was not content to i j be conqueror ol the whole known world, I but long for new spheres of effort, tuulti | plied battle fields, and a greatly extended | sway; or as the natural wish of every great ■ soul to press forward from one achievement i to another, from übe world of effort f an- I other, from tire known and attained to the i unknown and remotely attainable. Alexander's sigh is echoed by not a few | : in this christian age; yet the object ol the 1 . sigh is somewhat different. Many sigh for j new worlds, since they feel so perfectly 1 (..mifi'Jer.t of having gained one entire 1 world, inlinitely vaster than Alexander ev 'i er sought to subdue, namely the world of truth. Felicitating themselves upon so I "rand an achievement, they sigh for other ! worlds, deeming themselves quite too good I and pure for this. They sigh over the in- j i fatuation of those who doubt then' iul! pos -1 session of nil truth, and they feel a holy in- j j donation against any wht> venture to claim possession of ti uth whieh has not been stamp ied with their approval. They feel that on '{ them is laid the necessity of warning oth -1 ers against accepting anything contrary to , i their arfielcs of intellectual belief; they • denounce as fatally mischievous any virtues j | not contained in their catalogue ~ las equally mischiev,us the omission ot a j that their ILts may contain. \ cry great | suffering and anxiety do these sighing eon j oucrors f truth experience; they must live i in so very naughty a world, and all, eteju of the intelligent gnu thoughtful, will not sgbsc.-i be to their authority in matters re "fating to truth. Surely they are to he pit ied, unless they can be relieved of some of their knowledge and thereby can gain hap ; py release from some ot their sorrow. — I'erh tps this is meant in that saying of the ' FrcagL-r: ' For in much wisdom is much ; j grief." The surest mode of gaining freedom | from the perplexities of knowledge, is to study more diligently and know more. The ; best remedy for the troubles which wisdom brings, is to seek greater wisdom. 'This is a wretched world; nobody cares for the truth; L have attained great wis dom. but miserable men will not be guided j by my authority," says Complacent Igno i ramus, Esq. 'I seem to myself like a child who has picked up a few pebbles on ihe shore, while the great ocean lies untravers jed before me.' Thus does conceit lead men to fancy that they have explored the j entire ocean of wisdom and truth while they hold in their hands only the time worn pebbles which some ancient searcher found; and thus does genuine wisdom lead men to value but lightly what they have already won, and to look with eager glance toward the shoreless ocean of truth which eternity will be just long enough to ex ! p'oro. And real wisdom is not humble in view of what is yet unachieved, but it is genu inely Liberal and catholic; it does not as sume to know the secret counsels of Deity, or to understand the incomprehensible mysteries in whose sacred shadow humapi ty moves. It (foes not assert its own opin ion against the conscience an 1 education of others, but is well con I n: to see tbers search for the light whose reveiau>;a J .ti satisfy their eyes, even though the tints he : widely different from that whieh shines on its vision. Ignorance is fearful that every thing will surely go to ruin unless its pru- j dent counsels are heeded, unless its words J iof conjuration are employed. Wisdom is : serene and cheerful in he thought that all ! error is finite by its very natuTe. and in the 1 i confidence that overruling Providence con trols and rightly guides all the thoughts and purposes of men. Ignorance antici -1 nates distress, annoyance, and defeat, un j le-- its voice is heard in the van of the battle of life. Wisdom utters its thoughts and waits for them to take root in men's ; hearts,"well assured of the final triumph of truth, even though long ages of apathy and death intervene j Pretentious wisdom is s d enough—a ' j sight to make nn .. s weep. It affirms its : petty with an assurance reciprocally proportionate to their importance; it /.nous I itself to he right, and those who differ are wilfully or pitiably blind. Genuine wis i dom sees some truth and goodness in all ; seeks to induce others lo think candidly, and deliberately to choose what seems j eternally right and gtmd: and, with its am ply-folding mantle of charity, covers and blesses all. | mmmMßmi \ Smuggling Arrangements. A gentleman from Paris writes the follow ! ing: I saw through one of the windows of the mayor's office, in the twelfth arondis j scment what seemed to he the body of a no- • gt !i ing i.q the neei.. At the first glance j ; and even at the second, I took it for a hu- , man being, whom disappointed love, or per haps an expeditions judge, had disposed of so suddenly ; but 1 soon ascertained that the ebony gentleman in question was a large doll, as large as life, what to think of this I did not know, so 1 asked the door-keeper the meaning of it. 'This is the contraband museum,' was the answer ; and on my showing a curiosity to ; examine ii, he was kind enough to act my j j cicerone. In a large dirty room are scattered over ' the floor, on the walls, and on the ceiling, ! all the inventions of roguery which had been confiscated from time to time, by those ' guardians of the law, the revenue officers, j It is a complete arsenal of the weapons ■ of smuggling, all, unfortunately, in com plete confusion. Look before you ; there is a hogshead i dressed up as a nurse with a child that holds two quarts and a-half. On the other side, are two logs, hollow as the Trojan horse, and filled with armies of cigars. On the floor lies a huge boa constrictor, gorged with china silk ; and just beyond is a pile of coal, curiously perforated with spools of cotton. ' The colored gentleman who excited my sympathy at first, met with his fate under, the following circumstances:—llo was built i of tin, painted black, and stood like a key ' duck or Ethieoian cJiassour on the foot- ' | hoard of a carriage fastened by his feet and'' hands. He had frequently passed through t( the gates, and was well known by sight to 1 the soldiers, who noticed that he was al-1 ways showing his teeth—whieh they sup- V posed to he the custom of the country. ' One day, the carriage lie belonged to : ; was stopped by a crowd at the gate. There was as usual a grand chorus of yells and j tlis, the vocal part being performed by e L ivers and cartmen, and the instrumen- . tal by their whips. The negro, however, never spoke a sin , gle word. His good behavior delighted the soldiers, who held him up as an ex ample to the crowd. ' Look at the black fellow,' they crieu ; i ; see how well he behaves ! Bravo, nigger.' : lie showed a perfect indifference to their applause. ' My friend,' said the clerk at the har rier, jumping upon the foot board, and 1 slapping our suhlc friend on the shoulder, ; ' we are really much obliged to you.' , Oh, the surprise! the shoulder rattled. • The officer was bewildered; he sounded the footman all over, and he was made of met al, and as full as skin could hold of the j very best contraband liquor drawn out at his feet. The juicy mortal was seized at once, and carried off in triumph. The first night the revenue people drank up one of the shoulders, and he was soon bled to death. It is now six years since he lost the moisture of his system, and was ; reduced to a dry skeleton. The Cure of Drunkenness. The irresistible passi n for liquor which is acquired by men who can not govern their appetites, is quite as much a physi cal as a moral disease, and the terrible cra ving for the accustomed stimulus which constitute the apparently irresistible obsta i ele to reform, comes mostly from the local infiamation of the stomach and brain. Its cure by medical treatment is not, therefore, irrational, and if it is possible it should be understood that those who struggle vainly to break the chains of degrading habit, may avail themselves of whatever medical reinforcement may contribute to the sup port of an enfeebled will There is a fa re proscription in use in England, says the -qii'ingtielil Republican, for the euro of drunkenness, by which thousands are said to have been assisted in recovering them selves. The recipe came into notoriety through the efforts of John Vine llall, fa ther of Rev. Newman Hall and Capt. Vine Hall, commander of the Great Eastern steamship. He had fallen into such a ha bitual drunkenness that his most earnest THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1861, efforts to reel- : :i himself proved unavail ing. At 'length he s, tight the advice ofan eminent physician, who gave him a pre scription which he followed Faithfully for seven months, an 1 at the end of that time had lost all de-ire lor liquors, although he had boon fir many years led captive by a most debasing appetite fhe recipe, whieh he afterwards published, at| 1 by whieh so many oilier drunkards have been assisted | to reform, is .is follows : —'Sulphate of iron, j it grains ; magnesia, Id grains; peppermint water, 11 drachms; spirit of nutmeg, 1 drachm; twice a day. This preparation acts as a tonic and a stimulant, and so partially supplies the place ol the accustomed liquor, and pre vents that absolute physical and moral prostration that follow a sudden breakinir off from the use of stimulating drinks.— In cases where the appetite is not too i strong for liquors the medicine supplies the place of the accustomed drams entirely, , but. Mr. Hall continued the use of liquors ! at tiist with the medicine, uirninishing the J amount gradually until he was able to throw away hi- bottle and glass altogether, after which he continued to take the med icine a month or two, till he was wholly re stored to self-control and could rejoice in | a sound body. There is probably in the ; case of this medicine, as in all others, very much in the moral support given tothepa ! tient by confidence in it as a specific. But there is no doubt that it a'.so acts directly j as a remedy by as-isting in tiie recovery of j the normal tone of thg s' stem. | Demolition of the Navy Yard at Nor folk. Virginia. !
