A correspondent of the Country Gentleman mentions a nursery firm in Ohio that is making a specialty of raising chestnut trees, and pre dicts that, in ten years, it will be a very large business. We have no doubt of it. Nor that planting of timber trees on a large scale will soon be going on in all the older settled por tions of the country. Trees that bear nuts, as well as make good timber, are likely to have the preference, and the Chestnut, black walnut, butternut, the pecan and the hickory will; at no distant day, be. larmly cultivated. Them are many tracts of land, b especially in our Eastern States, where the original forests have been cut off, that could be put to no so profita ble use as to raise new forests of nut-bearing trees upon them ; and we are not sure but the same may be said of much that is considered as fertile land, in the western sections of the country where timber is scarce. Black walnut has lately become fashionable in Europe, as it is here, and the export, of it is already quite large. The country will not stand the constant drain upon it for this fine wood very many years longer, unless means are taken to pro duce a new supply... The 'correspondent above alluded to says that.the chestnut is as easily germinated as corn, and is easily transplanted when a year old; atter Which" tithe both the chestnut and pecan bear removal hardly, though careful root pruning the year previous to removal helps the ;Matter. But no tree grows more surely from 6i ) o.' the nnt, la more sure to live When transplanted, groirs inster, bears earlier, or stands hard treat ment better thin the black walnut. Only one thing it will not bear, and that is to have stock tramping about and over its roots.

BULL FLAT. I once coveted the honor of representing a certain Interior county, in the Lower House of the California State Legislature. As to my fitness, for a legislator, memory re called the fact that-many men from our coun try bad, in past, time, proposed theniselves' as law-makers; had been elected; had sat 'all winter in the Assembly Chamber,said nothing, drawn their salary, and, in the spring -time, bad returned, safe and sound, home to their constituents. Besides, I had then the Califor nia freeman's capacity for, and - endurance of, whisky—a quality, at that time, most essential for gaining political position; or, speaking in the vernacular of the auriferous belt, " A man who couldn't drink with the boya.las no- Where." Still, at first, a smothered sense of unfitness came over-me, regarding the propriety of pre senting myself before the' , people as a Maker of laws. Me—a persdi without, property, with out fattily;and without any particular interest in the community! I hinted my design, to a few intimate friends. "Run? Why, yes; just the thing for you.": I was invested immedi ately with all the needful confidence. card soon appeared in our county paper- s -'-lt was mine. it read : ' • "Mr. Blank will, he a candidate for As sembly, subject to the decision of the ensuing County Convention." Our party was then dominant. The strife was not so much against our opponents' as among ourselves, to gain nominations. The primaries were all-important to be looked after, and probable delegates to the Conven tion must firstbe bided after. Sb candidates Mounted their horses,`put "(part bottles of whisky in the pockets of their linen dusters, and, in squads of two and three, scoured camp,4lllll, bar, flat, gulch s and canon, "buzzing" the aspiring miner, who, once a year, putting Mills white shirt, came to Con vention, invested with authority to make or unmake Sheriff, Senators and Assemblymen; perhaps makes a speech, air his behind-the time politics, enjoy a fleeting notoriety, and then, with aihottle of cocktails, in his pocket. next.daylto tramp-home—ten, fifteen, twenty miles away—pull off the unaccustomed linen, don the gray shirt, and betake himself to the professional pick, , pan, shovel, crow-bar and In one of the hottest depressions among those red hills lay Bull Flat: two grocery stores, six saloons, twentYndd miilftra' cabins, a black smith's shop, a - seedy school-houso, a -seedier church. The afternoon sun shimmers am 9. 1 .1/ - vers over the great, jagged, water-washed and .worn bowlders, denuded of earth, and' rising, like stony tempest of waves, from the long age-worked-out fiat. The bar-keepers are asleep on their counters, when Jim Joneg's eye falls on three horsemen riding down the steep trail on the hill-side., Candidates! He, moves at once on the most aristocratic saloon. Can didates---drinks: the two are inseparable. And the candidates enter camp; dismount at the Magnolia, enter, :form at the bar, and call every one within sight and hearing to drink. The wrecks of "'49" stroll in; all drink: Sam White, the standing delegate from that pre cinct, is connered, confabbed, and "buzzed ;" the other saloons patronized-Abr all the money must not be spent at one house. Each s.:4o,an keeper demands his share--each Fsalellin-keeper controls a few votes—and, at last, the round is completed. Jim Brown is made happily and affectionately drunk, and, as. the patriots ride away, proclaimS himself aloud "a White Man, and in favor of a White Man's Government." This is one section of our political Machinery. Another: Spring Gulch—steep hill-sides on either side, parched and yel low—spotted with patches of deep green cha parral. Along the rivulet, flowing through the ravine, four log-cabins ; in each a single miner—gray and worn 'from hard work and hard drinking. No store here ; no saloon ; and yet this is an election precinct. At eve come the linen-dustered candidates to quarter with the " boys." Here come in play the quart bottles of whisky : appetizing and wel come drinks before supper; pipes and tobacco after. Ten o'clock, and both "boys" and can didates are talking very fast ; at twelve, they, together, tumble recklessly into the blanket spread cots. Morning : the last half-bottle is drank up before breakfast. The 'candidates mount their horses, with varying degrees of headache. But Spring Gulch is safe; Sam Stimmins has promised us his vote in Convention, and we ride off for another hot day's work. The office of delegate to our County Con ventions was one of little honor and no profit; an expensive one ; like that of a village' Fourth of July Marshal, or General of a General Training. Yet it was eagerly sought for. These political gatherings proved a sort of holiday. In many respects they were superior to the National Anniversary of Independence. They afforded business and pleasure combined. We tired of ,unalloyed holidays, with naught to do save to enjoy, ourselves. Your true Ameri can would vote the Elysian Fields a dull place, until his practicability and polities turned it intO.a mass-meeting grove. The great day for holding our County Con vention came. Officials, from Sheriff down to - Roadmaster were to be nominated. The day preceding, from mountain, Lill, river; creek, flat, gulch and canon came pouring into the county town, delegates, candidates and a large body of the party rank and file, at tracted by prospective and probable free speeches, free fights and free whisky. Night came, and the saloons were crowded. Faro and monte banks opened. At long tables sat studious rows of men, silent and intent on kitty cards. The bars were thronged three deep with imbibers. There was button-holing corners, and behind doors, and in 'the middle of the street ; betting as to the successful men for this or that office, and candidates rushing. about through the crowds with hurried step's, for their time had almost come. Three party faithful men wanted the Shrievalty, two the County Clerkship. On these offices was con centrated the most intense interest. Such po sitions, in those days, were rich official Placers. 1 remember when the gross official receipts of the Sheriff's • office in our county, for, two years, amounted to eighty thousand dollars. The old party war-horses were all there: so were the young war-horses, just started on their country-saving mission. So were gray-headed office-seekers, who, year after year, with clock-work regu larity, came before the people, asking forplace. And the skillful party-managing men, who made " slates," were there—men who loved their country well, their party better, and office better than all. So, also, were certain would be blundering engineers in our delicate party Mechanism—men always lacking in tact; losing temper, making inipolitic speeches, public anti private, at the wrong time and place; Mien who, from the stump, delivered that did, familiar speech, which, with slight variations to suit the times, had served through cam paign after campaign—a speech with naught of atsinless or originality to win our love, yet respected for its antiquity; men whose sole. universe was politics, whose future heaven was a revel in an endless chain of Presidential, State, county and town elections; men who just dropped into the editor's office to talk 'a half-day's politics, and overwhehned him with immense scrawls of political editorial, com pounded and rehashed from the same old speech—that speech whose hydra heads cropped out of his conversation at the store, the parlor, the street, the field, the saloon ; men, the crowning glories of whose existence were to be seen with the 11nbernatorial or Senatorial candidates, when such canvassed our districts, to be seated by them on the platform and .to bore them with intermittent commonplace's; men useful to their party, inasmuch as they,for the sake of any manner of prominence, spent THE DAILY EVENING BUIIETIk---1 ) 111LADEIJ,I411A, .1441 DAY, , DECEMBER 24, 1869,77TR1PLE SHEET.'- c. • their money freely, distribUted tickets,hunted up and secured doubtful voters'in remote dis tricts, made tire-balls for political preceasions, hung fiage, served'eartridgeifor trinniphal sa lutes—and, O rhaps; after years °flinch service, the carrying: ,of an election being deemed quite - hopeless were allowed,. as a. reward' for their . services, to -pack the burden of a nomination, and some times were elected—to 'the grief and conster nation of the knowing‘ones. All that night long the saloon and hotel lights blazed. At nine, everybody was cheerfully in toxicated. At, eleven, several fights had be curred,- and the regular man had been killed. 'At one, the main interest had concentrated about a big poker-game-ta game of the explo sive order, likely at any time to' bitrat. dirk-lunges and pistol-shote. At three in the morning, the pale streaks began widening over the still summits to the eastward ; the gray daylight came; and revealed to each - other the haggard and 'flushed faces of whooping and reeling revelers in the street, and the more silent and pale features of the gamblers in the rear apartments of the saloons, where , the 4 4 game" • went on. Thus did we, a por tion of the great American 'people, prepare ourselves for the business ,of .selecting.,onr rulers. Ten o'clOck, A. M., and, the court-house • was ecroWded. ..First, came tlie temporary organization; tem yoray President; temporary President's en thusiastic opening speech; then perinatioiat, organization of the Conventierf;' , appointment of Coinmittee on Credentials of Delegates; and then short adjournment, giving everybody, ..an opporttunty for "a bracing , whisky-toddy. All these political intricacies—which every true .Arnerkan knows so well to do, and is always able to do, even if incompetent for everything else—were performed. Then the real work commenced. Nominations were made ; . :Carididates arose ; paid their five-dollar assessment; became - orators, ; boasted •cif adher ence to . "our glorious party ;" pledged them selves to every plank, every nail, every nail hole in the platform; sat down, led, flushed, excited, and anxious; and their" political for tunes were speedily improved or ruined en tirely by the balloting delegatesthe represen tatives of the people, important in their short lived authority. Said one of our old war-horses, whose an tagonist for position bad just recommended himself, in Convention, to the people, for their suffrages, on the score that never, in his life, had he drank a glass of liquor, smoked a cigar, or infringed a tithe of the strictest code of moral decoruni :—" Boys, I have clone all these things which my friend yonder has left undone. If all of you who have, in life,copied his example will vote for him, and all who have followed mine will support me, I shall go to Sacramento tint Winter.' He wenf. And I, among the rest, was nominated. I did not expect'it. f knew I did not deserve it. I made a speech before my Countrymen, then and there assembled : touching nO party issue at stake, and not pledging myself to any thing iii particular. It was a ridiculous farrago of nonsense; but it happened to amuse the sovereigns- 7 -being an agreeable contrast to the eternal, dry old platitudes belched forth by the other aspirants. For that, and nothing more, my party chose me to help frame laws for them. I was satisfied, and we were all happy that night; although, at times, the thellght came to me that this portion of the American nation might have done better in its selection. After the nomination came the electioneer ing for votes. 'Again the candidates mounted their horses, placed quart bottles of whisky in their linen-duster pockets, and, day after day, scoured hill, flat and ravine. It was no child's play. In addition to the enormous amount of bad liquor required to be drank as a campaign necessity, old individual grudges were to be smoothed over, the political situation explained tozentlemen of foreign birth speaking little English, understandingleas, and unlimited as to capacity for lager; families were visited ; wives mollified—wives indignant by reason of the husband's frequent demoralization through the excitement of the campaign—wives who at heart wished all politics and politieians at the Red Sea's bottom; children, glutinous with butter and molasses, were to be caressed and admired. Another campaign necessity . : mo neyed candidates became traveling bankers for chronic borrowers, in sums varying from fifty cents to 'fifty dollars. The opposition county paper opened fire, and made us out thieves; blacklegs, defaulters, drunkards, murderers, bigamists. That was nothing. It was expected, and borne, as a campaign necessity. Despite all these political crosses, that was a gloriously wicked era in California for office holders and seekers. In a candidate, the strictest Moral qualifications were not exacted,so long as be spent his money freely and was pos sessed of those characteristics to render him popular with the " boys." Did he drink ? Everybody drank. Did he "get or sprees ?" Most of the active voters of our party got also on sprees. "Every good man"—so ran a home made axiom up country—" would get on a spree once in a while. It was necessary; bet ter than a course of medicine to clear the sys tem of unhealthy secretions." Did he openly take a hand at rondo, monte or faro ? He had for partners the merchant, lawyer, the doctor, the banker—sometimes even the schoolmaster of our camp. Did he ever, to melodious flutes and violins, -whirl in the waltz the airily-ap pareled, gold-belted,olive-tinted female-appurte nance of the fandango-house? So did onr judge, lawyer, physician and banker. Had he ever killed a man ? So much the better. To be known as being "on the shoot" was a. tower of strength. •Theilinidleareffand mired ; the desperate sympathized. No man was firmly settled On a sound political platform until he had participated in an affray. Every aspirant expected to kill his man, sooner or later, provided the population responded to the demand for the necessary victim. At times, in our midst,' some old g entleman, whOse New England ideas as to what consti tuted respectability had become so ingrained as not to be rubbed out by any amount of California attrition, would, when solicited to vote for some Official applicant, rennark : "Ain't he a little wild?" And we would reply: "Oh. he has a little fun once in a while with the boys; Can't put on airs in the mines, you know. Besides, he brings a heap of strength to our ticket; mighty sound on the main' question, and controls the whole Dutch rest at Big Pine Gulch:" And then the old man would, meet our request with a con strained sort of acquiescence. Many of these older :transplantations- from the East were pitzzled at our honest,ounpoken Wickedness. They were Uncomfortable that um attempt was made to - cover it up. „ But I did not electioneer on horseback. I ,was poor, and traveled on foot. Nor did I make any political speeches. Some months previously 1 had prepared, and a few times delivered, a certain lecture. It was a medley of subjects, with a few -ideas; any -amount of moral. and philosophical reflection prodigitlly dispensed to my hearers; and none kept for .myself.. This I delivered in halls, school houses and country groceries, in lieu of a cam paign speech: Some friends advised me so to do. It' was good•counsel. The common peo ple heard me gladly. 1 think this was the first time in the history of American politics that a reckless series of moral reflections was delivered and received in theplace of a political spaccb. ~ And 1 Was' quite careless and indifferenttothepolitical_im- _ propriety of this course.: The people seemed satisfied. So was 1, rejoicing in the little local notoriety thus realized; traveling soinetimes alone, sometimes with other candidates,, but always standing out against them in bus-relief a political phenomenon ; 'entertained at night in hospitable miners' cabins, and by day tramping over the duStY roads to new damps t o speak my piece. I was not elected. That I was not, 'Might have been owing to a political distortion of === ideas on 'the currency question—a distortion. due to the effects' of rum-punch, drank snite` early in the rooming : hence, treason Jo party prineiples, 'expressed in words in a saloon; carried, from thence by an 'overhearing, but meddlesome friend of the noosing party; re ported abroad, caught up, by , the opposition, plunging me into political hot water. I , knew, next morning, .en -awakening into the dull; stale,-head-achy reality of -every day life, that•lhad committed some dreadful fault—what, I could not exactly tell ; but I knew that I bad talked too much somewhere. There was nvague, misty idea of saying some thing politically unlawful and Awful about greenbacks. Currency had ever been so Scarce with me that I could not be blamed for wish ing it more plentiful, even if it were paper. But 1 was uneasy ;, I fled that town before any one was'stirring; walked fotirteen miles • into, the mountains, to a friend who' ran a quartz-mill, in one Of the remotest, deepest, rugged canons of the, Lower Sierras. The campaign WWI at its hottest, and I—a skalk,a recreant,tremblin.g 't a'vague fear! It came. One evening; I saw ; a horseman riding down the In my bones I felt that something , was about to happen to me. He , appeared and disap peared in the zigzags of the road, came nearer and nearer,.growing larger and larger, became recognizable, approached, and dismounting put a letter in my hand. It ran thus "Srx=ltis currently reported throughout the county that, on the day - of August, at the Long. Tom Saloon yon reported your self as being really at heart in favor of paper currency: a' sentiment at war with one of the most venerated'and time-honored principles of our party.

For a time 1 was prostrated and' crushed . ; held an indignation meeting, all by MYself, and fruitful in resolutions, condemnatory of mYself for allowing rum-punch to ,have seduced me into such .a ,damaging. admission. I con cluded to resign and , disappear-forever from public life. 1. intimated this reso lution to my • • friend.'' "She'!" • said Ezra; nonsense I—face it out-say 'it's a lie; you're too conscientious - altogether. I did face it out ; made new levies on resolu tion, decision and courage, and satisfied con science with the theory that it was punch and not li, and washed my bands of the responsi bility of the'uttemnee. • Two nights afterwards, was on the plat form, with torches and banners waving round me, party enthusiasm filling the air with groans and cheers, and then I dared any one to come forward and prove the infamous charge made against me. No one came, to my infinite satisfaction. I spared myself the pains of, going into any 'sophistry, to prove 1 bad not said what I bad said, simply by daring. The bold front is ever the most successful. • Yet, I was not elected. Gil? 1 .

" The Holy Grail" is the longest of the four "Idyls;"dew "Miens and Ettarre" will probably be pronounced the finest, We select as thepassage most suitable for quotation the following, from" The Coming of Arthur." .It is Bellicent, Queen of Orkney,.who speaks, after this question from King Leodoygran, father of the Princess Guinevere: u. 3lc come from Arthur's court: think ye this lje,fotr his knights, - howtirer4krave • they be— .llath body enow to boat his foemen down?" " 0 king," she cried, " and I will tell thee : few, " - Few but all brave, altoi one mind with him ; I For was near him when the savage yells Of Utber's peerage died, and Arthur sat Crowned on the dais, arid his warriors cried, Be thou the king, and we will work thy will Who love thee.' Then the king in low deep tones; 'And simple words of great authority, Bound thereby so strait vows to his own self, That when they rose, knighted ftom kneeling, some Were pale as at the passing of a ghost, Some tiush'd, and others dazed, as ono who wakes lialf-blitided at the coming of a light. ' But when he spako and cheered his Table , Round With large, divine, and comfortable words Beyond my tongue to tell thee—l behold Fi'otit eye to eye thro' all their Order flash A.'momentary likeness of the king; And ere it left their faces, thro' the cross And those around it and the crucified, Down from the casement over Arthur, smote Flame-color, vent and azure, in three rays, One falling upon each of three fair queens, Who steed in silence near his throne, the friends Of Arthur, gazing on him, tall, with bright; kiweet faces, who will help him at his need. "And there I saw mage Marlin, whose vast wit And brindred - winters are but as the hands Of loyal vassals toiling for their liege. "And near him stood the Lady of the Lake,— Who knows a subtler magic than his own,— Clothed in white samite, rapid°, vronderfuL She gave the kit:lbis huge cross-hilted sword, Whereby to drive the heathen out; a mist Of incense cured about her, and her face WelJnigh was hidden in the minster gloom. But there was heard among the holy hymns A voice as of the waters, for she dwells Down in a deep, calm, whatsoever storms allay shake the world, and, when the surface rolls, Bath power to walk the waters like our Lord. "There likewise I beheld Excalibur Before him at his crowning borne, the sword That rose from out the bosom of the lake, And Arthur row'd across and took it, —rich Withjewels, elfin 'Urine, on the hilt, • Bewildering heart and eye,--the blade so bright That men are blinded brit,—on one side, Graven in the oldest tongue of all this world, Take me,' but turn the, blade and you shall see, And written In the speech ye speak yourself, ' Cast me away!' and sad was Arthur's face Taking it, but.old Merlin counselled him, " Take thou and strike! The time to castaway Is yet far off; so this great brand the king Took, and by this will beat his (omen do vrii." The miscellaneous poem with which the' volume concludes are seven in number. "The Victim," " Wages" and "Lucretius" have been in print before. "The Northern Farm er—New Style," "The. Higher Pantheism," " Flower in the Crannied Wall,". (a trifle of six lines), and "The Golden Supper," a ver sion of a story of Boccaccio, are, we believe, all new. (From thy- tsaturday Review. BrittiT FINGEBS. An old proverb says that a burnt child dreads the tire ; if so the child must be nit commouly astute, and with a power of reason ing by analogy in excess of impulsive desire rarely found either in children or adults. As a matter of fact, experience goes very little ways towards directing folks wisely. People often say haw much they should like to live their lives over again with their present expe rience; that is, they would avoid certain spe cific mistakes of the past., of which they have seen and suffered from the issue ; but if they retained the same nature, though they might avoid a few special blunders, they would fall Into the same class of errors quite as readily, the gravitation of character towards circum stances being always absolute in its direction. Our. blunders in life are not due to ignorance so much as to temperament; and only the ex ceptionally wise among us learn to correct the excesses of temperament by the lessons of ex perience. To the mass of mankind these lessons are for the time only, and prophesy nothing of the future. 5 They hold them to have been mistakes of method, not of princi ple, and they think that the same lines more carefully laid will - lead to a better super structure in the future, not seeing that the fault was organic, and in those very initial lines themselves. No impulsive or wildly hopeful person, for instance, ever learns by experience, so long as his physical condition remains 'the same; no one with a large faculty of faith—that is, credulous and easily imposed on—becomes suspicious or critical by mere 'experience. flow much so ever people of this kind have been taken in,in times past, they are just as ready to become the prey of the spoiler in times to come; and it would be sad if it were not so silly, to watch how in evitable one-half the world gives, itself up as food whereon the roguery of the other • may wax fat. The person of facile confidence, whose secrets have_heen, bla;e4 abroad More . . . than once by trusted friends, gtakes yet an other and another safe confidant—quite safe this time, one of whose fidelity there is no doubt—and learns when too late that one perce is very like another pallier perce. The speculating man, without business faculty or knowledge, who has burnt his lingers bare - f6 the bone with handling scrip and - stock, thrusts them into the fire again as soon as he has the chance. The gambler blows his fingers just cool enough to shuttle the cards for this once only„sure that this time hope will tell no flat tering tale, that ravelled ends will knit - them selves up into a close and seemly garment, and heaven itself work miracle_ in his favor against the law of reathematiealeartainty. In fact we are all gamblers in this way, and play our hazards for the stakes, of faith and hope ; we all burn our .fingers again and again at some fire or another; bat experience teaches us nothing, save perhaps a more hopeless, help less resignation toward that confounded ill luck of ours, and a weary feeling of having known it before when things fall out amiss and we are blistered in the old fire. In great matters this persistency of endeavor is sublime, and gets a wealth of laurel crowns and blue ribbons; but in little things it is ob stinacy, want of ability to profit by experience, denseness of perception as to what can and what cannot be done; and the apolope of, Bruce's spider gets tiresome if too often re . peated. The most hopelessly inapt people at learning *by they burnt their fingers last time, and how they will burn them again, are those who, whatever their profession, are blessed or cursed with what is called the artistic tempera ment. A man will ruin hiniself. for love of a particular plan, for dislike of a certain kind of necessary work. for the prosecution of a cer tain hobby. Is he not artistic, and must he not have all the conditions of his life exactly ' square with desires, else bow can he do good ;work? So he goes on burning his fingers through self-indulgence, and, persists in his unwisdom to the end of his life. 'lre will. paint his unsalable pictures, or write his un readable books ; his groove is one in which the looney-paying public will not tblkiw ; but though his very existence depends on the fol lowing of that, paying public he will not stir an inch to meet it, but keeps where he is be cause he likes the particular run of his furrow, :and spends bis days in thrusting his hand into the fire of what be choose S -to call the ideal, iluit , DAttr'svOlizO and his nights -abutileg the „ Philistinisin of the world which lets him be burnt; = And what' does any amount of experience do .for us in the matter' of friendship er love?- ::As the . World goes round,.. , and.., our credulous mora l ing , darkens Into a' pure-skeptical light, swe ,believe ,as a 13erteral mere abstraction—that , all new friends ,are just so much _ gilt Finge,thread, and that a very lit tle close holding and 'bard rubbing 'brings ,off all the ,gilt, and leaves nothing byt'a , sticity mess of little wOrth'es food, and of none as ornament. And yet if of thb kind to whom friendship is necessary for happiness, we' rash as eagerly into the new affection as if we had never philosophized on' the -emptiness .of the' old, and , belleve as firmly in the solid gold of our latest cake as if we bad never smeared our bands with one of the same pattern before. Sp with love. A man sees his comrades flut tering like enchanted moths about some stately man-slayer, , .seine fair and shining light set like a false beacon on a dangerous cliff to lure , men to their destruction”; he sees how they singe and burn In the flame of herteauty, but he is not warned. If ones own'experlenoe teaches one little or 'nothing, the experience of others goes for even less, and no man yet was ever warned of the destructive, fire of love be caUse his companions had burnt their fingers there beforehim, and hie Own are sure to follow. , It Is the: same with _women.; and in, a greater . degree. They know-all about Don Juan well enough; bey are perfectly well aware bow be treated , A.. and B. and C. and D. ; but when it comes to , their own turn, they think that this time surely,and to them, things will be different and be in earnest ; and so ttie,y slide down into the alluring tlame,and burn their fingers for life by playing with forbidden fire. But have we not all the secret belief that We shall escape the snares and pitfalls into which others have dropped,and among which we choose to walk? that fire will not burn our fingers at least so very badly, when we thrust them into it ? and that, by some legerdemain of Providence , we shall be delivered from the consequences of our own folly, and that two and two may be made to count five in our behaif? Who is taught by the experience of an unbappy marriage, say ? No sooner has he get himself free from the pressure of that chain and bullet, than he has tens to fasten on another, quite , sure that 'his chain will be no heavier than the daintiest little thread of gold, and this ballet as light and sweet as a cowslip ball. Everything will come right this time that had gone wrong be fore, and the hot bars of close association with an uncomfortable temper , and unacommo dating habits will be only like a juggling trick and burn no one's heart or hands. People, too, who burn their fingers in giving good advice unasked, seldom learn. to hold theta bacir. With an honest intention, and a strong desire to see right 'done, it is diffi cult to avoid putting our hands, into fires with which we have no business: While we are young and ardent, it seemsta us as if we haie distinct business with all fraud, injustice, folly, wilfulness, which we believe a few honest words of ours will control and annul;- bat nine times out of ten we only burn our own hands, while we do not in the least strengthen those of the right or weaken those of the wrong. We may say the same of good-natured people. There was never a row. of chestnuts roasting at the fire for. which your good-natured oaf will not stretch out his hand at the bidding andf or the advantage of a friend. Experience teaches the poor oaf nothing; not even that fire burns. To put his name at the back of a bill,just as a mere form; to lend his money, just fora few days ; or to do any other sort of a self-immo lating folly, on the faithful proMise that the fire will not 'burn nor the knife cut—it all comes as easy to men of the good - natured sort as their alphabet. Indeed, it istheir alphabet, out of which they spell their own ruin : but so long as the impressivable temperament lasts, 'so long as, the likinAo do a good-natured ac tion is'greater than caution, suspicion, or the power of analogical reason, so long will the oaf make himself the catspaw of the knave, till at last he has left behind no fingers wherewith to pluck out the chestnuts for himself or another. The first doubt of young people is always a source of intense suflering. Hitherto they have believed what they saw and all they saw ; and they have not troubled themselves with motives or facts be yond those given to them or lying on the sur -face. But when they find out for themselves that seeming is not necessarily being, and that all people are not as good throughout as they thought them, then they suffer a moral shock. which often leads them into a state of practical atheism and despair. Many young yeople give up altogether when they first begin to read the book of humanity beyond the title-page ;- and because they have found specks in the cleanest , parts believe that nothing is left pure. They are as much bewildered as horror-strtick, and cannot un derstand bow any one they have loved and. re spected should have done this or that 'misdeed. Having done it, there is nothing left to love or, respect further. It is only by degrees that they learn to adjust and apportion, and to un derstand that the whole creature is not neees -sarily corrupt because. there are a few un-' healthy places here and there; but in the be ginning this first scorching by the fire of expe rience is very painful.and bad to bear.' Then they begin to think the knowledge of the world, as got from books, so wonderful, so pro found ; and they look on it as 4 science to be learned' by much studying of aphorisms. They, little know that not ,the most affhteut amount of phrase lmowledge can ever .4egulate that class of action 'WM& springs frein a man's in herent disposition, and that it is not facts which teach, brit self : control which prevents. After very early youth we all have enough theoreti cal knowledge to keep us straight ; bat theo retical knowledge does nothing without self knowledge, or its corollary, self-control. The world has never yet got beyond the wisdom of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes,and Solomon's advice to, the Israelitish youth lounging round the gates of the Temple is quite as applicable 'to young Hopeful coming up to .London cham bers as it was to them. Teaching of any kinti, by books or events,. is the mere brute weapon, but self-control is the intelligent hand to wield it. To burn one's fingers once in a lifetime is no fault, and tells nothing against a man's common sense or dignity ; but to go on burn ing them is the act of a fool, and we can not pity the wounds, however sore they may be. The Arcadian virtues of unlimited trust, and hope and love are very sweet and lovely; but they are the graces ' of childhood, not the qualities of manhood; they are lovely little. finalities, which do hot admit of modification, or expansion ; and in a naughty world, to go about with one's heart upon one's sleeve, be lieving every one, and accepting , everything to be just as it presents itself, is offering bowls of milk to tigers, and meeting armed men with a tin sword. Such universal , trust can only re sult in a perpetual burning of one's fingers ; and a life spent in pulling out, hot chestnuts from the fire for another's eating 'is by no means the, most useful or the most dignified to which a man can devote himself. Schlitax. An enthusiastic scholar has been investi gating the influence exercised upon the Ger man people by the pbet and historian, Schiller," and as an evidence of the popularity of this celebrated dramatist, has collected statistics iu reference to the performance of his plays in Vienna frol 1817 to the present time. From these statistics it appears that Schiller's _nine-. teen dramas . have been performed 880 times in the aggregate, and produced . $305,807. It is estimated that prior to 1817 ten- ofSchiller's dramas bad been perforMed 200 , times in Vienna, yielding V 0,500. 'raking all Ger- Many into consideration, the entire profits de rived from the sale of Schiller's printed Works and from the performance of:his plays, are estimated to amount to over one .million of dollars, and of this large amount neither Schiller nor his heirs: have received any por tion.
