COMPENSATIONS.
The study of human nature and the varieties
cf human fate and circumstance would be too
painful for legitimate entertainment..but for the,
comfortable theory of compensations,: Being
a comfortable theory, no doubt it may easily
be driven too far. We cannot get'oyer the ex
istence of enormous inequalities, violent con- ]
trasts, extremes in prosperity fghd adyerse for-.'
hut the fact of] cpinpchsations, of a]
hidden balance equalizing apparent opposites,
of a busy though secret'worker reconciling and
harmonizing visible diversities, grows upon us
in proportion to the extent and variety of our
opportunities for observation. Those who see
most, we feel convinced, are the least perplexed
by the effects of fortune on human happiness.
We will not touch here upon the more terrible
trials of humanity—pain and disorder, whether
of body oi; mind; not because they are beyond
the question, but because the consideration of
them'has nothing to do with our present line
of reflection. This leads us rather to observe
the happy influence of what are called the
Weaknesses of human nature in striking a
balance between "various destinies. We
have more especially id view the
bliss of ignorance, the ‘'"viitcib of a
narrow ken, the small vanities and happy blind
nesses which elevate low fortune, give dignity-
to mean circumstauces, and magnify an insig
nificant post into importance. We are not now
talking of men as they are good or bad, but as
they are constituted to extract from the things
around them such happiuess as this earth has
to give for their individual share. In this sense
we may truly say that scarcely any freak, ho w
ever unkind, of nature or fate renders the vic
tim as unhappy as the spectator-supposes him
to he. There is some cherished equivalent for
the good that is denied; and in proportion to
the magnitude of the evil is the tenacity with
which this counterbalancing good is clung to.
It is common to pity the objects , of nature’s
caprice for the care they bestow on personal
adornment. But this is a - perfectly natural
.cam,'nor can we call it other- than'a wise one.
The least graceful form has its good points, .or
at any rate can be made a subject of interest
and cheerful solicitude to those whom it. most
concerns, by sedulously excluding the daylight
of a too impartial survey. ; The discomforts of
the: poor have, we are convinced, a hundred
compensations, so long as tlimF privations do
not too keenly touch bodily sensation ; such as
freedom from restraint, liberty of speech,
jind the absence of responsibility which a set
dally task brings. Or, if that task is declined
in favor of idleness, what compensation does
not idleness oiler for the Inconveniences it
enlaile—short-lived, it is true, and diyested of
'moral dignity, but which it needs but small
effort in most of us to understand! An old
Mexican woman, begging for scraps at the
door of a former mistress, was reproached for
quitting comfortable service: “How could
wju leave a place where you got good - food
and twelve dollars a month?” “Jesu!” she
replied; “if you did but know the pleasure of
doing nothing!” How many a wayside tramp
and importunate beggar, if they had the can
dor, would put in the same vindication, reliev
ing us of a weight (jf superfluous compassion.
Pity is an excellent gift,when rightly bestowed,
but it is often egregiously misplaced; nor could
we ever lavish it on any object without pro-
posing to ourselves the question what out-of
sight, or, at least, unparaded, compensation
there may be to qualify or perhaps nullify the
seeming calamity; for misplaced pity is to
some minds insult, and to the best and most
forbearing an unvaliiedellering.
filn thisstirring age there are conditions of
existence on which we are specially apt to be
stow*this unwelcome aims. Our sympathy
cannot readily adapt itself to them, and for
that very reason we should the more carefully
consider whether they may not have' their
possible compensations. All forms of monoto
ny and flat seclusion come under this class.
Ip spite of the general movement and turmoil j
of our day there are yet people in England j
Wboyin the changeless posture of their lives <
and the sameness of their outlook, remind us j
of colossal statues on Egyptian plains. Bo ,1> j
aie alike half-buried, whether to their busier I
neighbors or gazing awe-struck spectators, j
Where is the compensation for this stagnant !
existence ? and yet, as the living marble sur
veys the dreary expanse with a serenity and
composure truly sphinx-like, we may be quite
sure >t is there. For nothing is so consolatory,
nothing offers such confirmation of our view of j
the universality of compensations through the
whole scale of social distinctions, whether of
place or circumstance, as this index of the
countenance. Those whom the world calls
fortunate dp not show any immunity from care
and trial in their faces; those whom it pities
carry what/is called a good face upon it. The
rich man l&oks as anxious as his poor neigh
bor; the plain woman beams with compla
cency while the belle may chance to fret or
frown. The features of our stone-deaf friend
are marked by an aDgelic sereuity. The Cal
vinist who boasts of his assurance of bliss
wears a scowl of care; his theological oppo
nent, who denounces his presumption, has a
look of jollity. The truth is, it is not the ac
tual condition of people’s affairs, as we measure
them, which tells upon feeling and temper.
We can only hold in our apprehension isolated
facts and fragments of circumstance;
and of a great many human miseries,
as well as advantages and beuefi -s,
it may be said that while we do not think of
them they do not exist. Whatever troubles
surround a man, it is a compensation that he
can forget them, that he can turn his thoughts
to pleasant subjects. The plain woman, for
instance, has faith in, and passion for dress;
the dulled ear belongs to a reader who main
tains an omniverous and uncloyed taste for
novels far into the septuagenarian, period. Q;ir
friends, then, who live in monotony are\ not
victims, or they would show another counten
ance. But how is this ? We see no change,
to call change, in present or in prospect lor
them. . Their life is not a stream, as we think,
but a pond, without even ornamental banks
and a weeping willow to give it sentiment.
We search in vain for any escape from the
pressure of sameness, of prim rigidity and un
profitable barren order. Yet perhaps we have
only to make an eilbrt to throw light upon the
pieture.
In the first place, it is to be remembered that
to every living being he himself is the centre
of the universe; he is a'fact to himself so im
pressive, so ever present, that in comparison all
things are shadows. All must apply to them
selves fcwift’s saying, “ Whoever lives at a
different end of the town from me I look upon
as persons out of the world, and only myself,
and the scene about me, to be in it.” And by
an intellectual effort we may extend- this idea
to those who lead active lives in the thick of
general interests. We allow (though we do
not actually realize) that they have'an identity
equal to our own, because their lives are
ordered on the model which we think most
"‘•conducive to vigor and happiness. It is only
necessary, by a Btretch of imagination, to do
the same justicetomien of dull lives, Hirt-he
; cause'they are outsiders to us, we are.proue to
think them outsiders to themselves. If we can
once suppose them centres to their dwn thoughts
a Step is gained towards sympathy. They may,
after all, have as strong a grasp of their posi
tion, as acute a sense of holding a place in the
world, as any successful general or triumphant
statesman.
We may further observe that the power to
endure monotony with serenity and dignity
... implies, a,.certain. strength, of .character.; and
conscious strength in bearing what restless
spirits recoil from no doubt imparts that grave
cheerfulness which we notice on "some faces.
This is a fact which may justly excite •some
complacency; but it is no disparagement to
the most effective and serviceable of compan-.
saiions that they are mainly made up of illtx- -
sions. The existence most agreeable tp.vour
sympathy could hot : flourish- and do its'ftork;
without them—without attaching extravagant
importance to what>re;trifles, withoutigitfing"
undue weight to matters of some jreal tt'ttment, 1
without supposing self to be), more indispensa-'
bio to the general*good than the barb-truth;
justifies. What, then; are the illuMontf of peoplel
of monotonous lives, whether self-ehoseri or
acquiesced in from necessity f We think.they
lie a great deal in a value for monotony as
such, in a sense of the dignity- of employment
in the degree in which it is measured and uni
form, in a respect, for..habit for. its own sake..
Such people pride themselves on being able to
do the same things day after day, and the
things they do grow in value through the mere
force .of repetition, as a stone thrown every
day grows into a pyramid dt last. However
trifling may be the, occupations, which perhaps
they were at first driven to employ .themselves
upon,- habit aggrandizes them. ' Slothing that
is done every day at a stated hour can remain
a trifle—not if it were the twisting of lighters
for tlie taper or the picking of rose leaves. ' It
assumes mdl al proportions, it has claims not
easily broken id upon. And next, all persons
exercise authority over somebody or some
thing, and authority is swayed with an extra
ordinary sense of power by these people of un
changing lives. They are strict from a sense
of duty in their own habits, and therefore over
all whom they can control they cast the spell
of sameness. And as the sense of power
strengthens under this use, so does that of pos
session and wq believe that persons of ex :
tremely quiet, uneventful lives enjoy the sense
of possession in an uncommon degree. Their
minds are less diverted from it by varieties and
digressions. Possession is no doubt a very
great pleasure when it is realized. It is a sense
strong in proportion to its narrowness and fix
ity. "it is perfectly impossible to feel the same
hold of fifty thousandpounds that a poor man
-does of a sovereign, and it is the strength of
hold which gives form and stability to the
pleasure. This does not imply any miserly
grasp of possessions, only, that what is given,
as well as what is held, is realized with a pecu
liar force. In all affluence, whether of wealth
or excitement, there is much that cajmot been--
joyed because there: is so much of it j but own
ership is strong-jn.'.proportion as the 1 possessions
are within our. ’“pssp and reviewed every day.
Where self-chosen monotony reigns, .there is
also a deep feeling of its importance—of much
depending on those who preside over it. Same
ness is so much like respectability that a work
is being done in simply supporting and carry
ing on a settled order of things, and this im
parts a sense of weight and responsibility. It
is impossible not to grow into a sort of exam
ple under the pressure of regularity. People
who go to bed at ten all the year round cannot
avoid passing a mild censure on those wlio'sit
up till midnight, and in this way. every act of
life carries with it its sense of complacency. .It
is done on a diflerent rule from that which
guides the shifting changeful herd. And also
there is the self-satisfied boast of Peace.' Same
ness looks like peace ; and when persons are in
a position to be flattered, “ peace” is the
politest way of describing a monotonous exis
tence. Indeed it is peace to one side, though
-not-to him-who,uses the .term, secretly owning
the life wbicli he compliments to be repulsive
to his livelier notions. It is peace also in the
consent of two minds, where two are agreed to
enact together the hands of the dial, and to
mark-in concert the progress of time by a sue-,
cession of similar and precisely recurrent acts.
f bough we by no means iuclude in our pic
ture those persons whose outer monotony of
existence hides a latent fire of impulse aud
genius, yet we have spoken of strong-minded
persons who “have a sway beyond their own
homestead. Their opinions, fixed as their
habits, are emphatically their own. As noth
ing that is done always is trivial, so no opinion
that they have brooded over cau be treated as
immaterial, as a fit subject for banter or argu
ment,. or as subject to Nor cau we
tell what silent and unnoticed power as a dead
weight" “against- innovation these people’s
opinions may still possess, matured as they
have been in those homes of moveless, calm,
inexorable sameness and impassibility to new
impressions.
ART ITEMS.
—Clesinger, tlie celebrated French sculptor,
joins the army at the age of 57.
—The reports that Sir E. Landseer was dan
gerously ill have been contradicted. He has
been ill, not seriously so, however; and has
left London for a change of air.
—Tlie Paris Gauloi s demands that the old
“gray-coat” statue of Napoleon 1., which, af
ter being displaced from the column Yendome,
was set up at Courbevoie, in the environß of
Paris, shall be removed within the fortifications,
that it may not be subjected to outrages on the
part of the Prussian soldiery.
—Preparations are making on the southwest
comer of Union Square,.N. Y., for the erection
of the statue of Lincoln," by Browne, cast in
this city by the Bios. Bureau, engaged by R.
D. Wood <fc „Co., the fine-art founders. A
foundation of granite to the depth of five feet
has been laid, and cement has been placed upon
it. On this will be reared the sub-base of the
pedestal, which will consist of a single stone
nine feet five inches sq lare ; upon this will be
laid the base, also of grauite,and five feet eight
inches square. On this will stand the pedestal,
five feet square at the bottom and tapering i
gradually to three feet square at the top.
On the upper part of this are to be
thirty-six stars, indicating the number of States
in the Unioned tiring Mi. Lincoln’s administra
tion. The entire altitude of the monument
will be twenty-three feet. The statue is of
bronze, and was designed by Mr. Browne, wlio
was sculptor of the equestrian statue of Wash
ington, on the southeast corner of Union
Square. It has been for some weeks in a yard
on the North river, near the foot of Fourteenth
street. The monument was ordered by the
Union League No inscription is to be
upon it. The figure of Mr. Lincoln is in mod
ern costume, cloaked and bare-headed. The
pedestal will be ready in a- lew days. The
statue will be unveiled about the Ist of Octo
ber with appropriate ceremonies.
—The energetic agent who did so much for
the "South Kensington Museum has used his
skill, taste and acumen to good purpose in pre
paring a catalogue of the superb Series of draw
ings by two great masters which constitute the
cream of the University at Oxford. It is called
“A Critical Account of the Drawings by
Michael Angelo and Ksflaelo in the University
Galleries, Oxford.” The work opens with an
interesting introduction, which gives the histo
ries, in brief, of certain famous collections of
drawings, such as those of Charles the First,
the Earl of Arundel, Marehetti, Reynolds and
Lawrence. We have, as might he expected, a
vigorous onslaught on that woeful blunder of
the British Government, the neglect to purchase
the lastruamcd and unrivalled aggregation qfsuch
■ works. Tlie history of its dispersidtt, unwit-
tingly and in sections) and from time to time,

telligent statesmen and economists, in order to
induce them to buy, at very moderate prices,
treasures of design such as no chance is likely •
to bring to the hammer again.for a long time
to come, is painful to read. The general cor
rectness of this painful history may be ac
cepted. England had, at,.the period when

THE WAB IN EUROPE.
Berlin, Sept. 12.—M. de Ledscliowski
.Archbishop of Gneisen and Posen, has issued
a circular denying that the war, on the part of
Prussia, is in any way anti-Catholic.
The Germania, of the Prussian exploring ex
pedition for the North Pole, has returned.
The official report of the capitulation of Se
dan states that the total number of prisoners
taken is 122,000. The crowd of wounded has
been reduced since the reopening of the rail
ways, and all the dead in the fields around the
city have been buried.
The following despatch from the King to the
Queen has been received, dated ten o’clock on
Sunday night:
“ The citadel of Laon exploded after its sur
render, just as the Prussians were preparing to
enter. 300 mep were killed, including 200" of
the Mobile Guards, Many were shockingly
mutilated. William; of Mecklenburg was
wounded. There must have been treason.”
Berlin, Sept. 9.—[Special to the New York
Tribune .] —The Duke,/of Mecklenburg, with
the Ist and 7tli divisions of the 7th corps, here
tofore in Sclileswig-llolstein, and two divisions
of reserves, and/landwehr, being the army
fonued at Hamburg on the Palatinate, is on the
way to Paris. Here and elsewhere all the line
troops and reserve battalions have gone, and
the guard and garrison service is performed by
landwehr.Mustering here and at Torgau, in
Silesia, continues./ ThSi landwehr officers ob
solved from military, obligations years ago are
notified to hold, themselves for eventual service.
Bismarck has said that he will have such a
tremendous,force in Prance as must crush re
sistance, and especially prevent everywhere the
organization of new forces. But for the na
tional clamor for Alsace and Lorraine, it is cer
tain that Bismarck would bo content with Metz
and Strasbourg held as national fortresses. ’
It is reported that Bazaine not only refused
capitulation, when informed that the Emperor
and MacMahon’s" army were prisoners and
that the Emperor advised the surrender of
Metz, but declared, in a towering passion, that
he would not respect Napoleon’s wishes, and
would shoot any French officer advising surren
der.
It is believed that/Russia and Austria have
rejected all overtures, and will not stir for
republican Franco. f The Journal de St. Pe
tersburg (semi-official) tells Franco substan
tially, that, she had better,yield-Alsace,iuid so
much of Lorraineas .G.ehiiany heeds.
Tlie recognition of the French Republic by
America was to be expected, but the; Berlin
Foreign Office thinks that, the extreme warmth
■of ■ America’s declaration' implies a partial
withdrawal of sympathy from Prussia, follow
ing so closely alter. Secretary Fish’s refusal to
protest against the expulsion of the Germans
from France. , . , , , , ,
The Baltld blockade is ineffective’, and vesr
. sets enter. and leave Dautzig... and Konigsburg
freely. The French fleet 1 has great'difficulty
in getting coal. The expenses are enormous,
and the blockade /will probably soon be aband
oned. ' .

cofis(&rits friinforced,’ and rid w. iiuinbrirs nearly?
70,000 trieta'/The sortieri bf tliri defenders arir

According to the official reports’;six full
cavalry divisions are 'expected to reach Paris
on September 18 and 14. When the regiments
now coming forward arrive’, and, the reserves,
also on the way, join their regiments, the Ger

. Tit ague, Sept. 12.—Berlintelegrams to the
Politique, of this cityj Say’ that! a great sensa
tion was created by a despatch of the American
government to its envoy at the Prussian capi
tal, expressing the hope that there, would now
be a cessation of the war, in view of the fact
that its aim—the dethronement of Napoleon—
had been accomplished. No sooner had the
Minister communicated the despatch to Vou
Thiele and Eulenberg than it was sent to King
William by a special courier.
Madrid, Sept. 12.—Demonstrations of

ments at Viterbo, Montefiascone and Valen
tano, and threatened, to. attack, them.: Order .

Of tbe Papal territory lias been agreed to. A

tants are to decide for the Pope or King .as their

The official journal of the government at
Florence justifies the occupation of the patri
mony of St. Peter, and maintaining it, as
necessary for the Pope as for Italy.
The journal hopes the PontiiT will acceptthe
guardianship of the Italian government;
Rome; Sept. 12.—{Special t0 Y-Y. Tribune .]
The troops have crossed the frontier. General
Cadona has issued a prodamalioqto the Ro
man people. There is great enthusiasm and
excitement among- the troops and people.
France has recalled all the French soldiers un

protest-to the Po wers against the occupation of
his Territory, but will not resist it by arms.
He is coming to England by a British frigate,
and the Archbishop is preparing for his recep
tion. \
Bnxlejr anti |ttateriallsm.
Professor Huxley is confident that we shall
sooner or later arrive at a mechanical-equivalent
of consciousness, just as we have arrived at a
mechanical equivalent of heat:
If a pound weight falling through a distance
of a foot gives rise to a definite amount of heat,
v. hich may properly be said to be its equivalent;
the same pound weight falling through a foot
on a man’s hand gives rise to a definite amount
of feeling, which might with equal propriety be
said to be its equivalent in consciousness. And
as we already know that Uiere is a certain
parity between the intensity of a pain and the
strength of one’s desire to get rid of that pain;
and secondly, that. there is a certain corres
pondence between the intensity of the heat, or
mechanical violence, which gives rise to the
pain, and the pain itself; the possibility of the
establishment of a correlation between me
chanical force and volition becomes apparent.
And the same conclusion is suggested by the
fact that, within certain limits, the intensity of
tire mechanical force we exert is proportioned
to the intensity of our desire to exert it.
Thus I am prepared to go with, the Mate
rialists, wherever the true, pursuit of the path
o files cartes maylead them; I am glad, on
all occasions, to declare my belief that their
fearless development of the materialistic aspect
of these matters has had au immenße, and a
most beneficial influence upon physiology,and
psychology. Nay more, when they go farther
than I think -they are entitled to do—whgn
they introduce Calvinism into science anode
elare that man is nothing but a machine, I do
not see any particular harm in their doctrines,
so long as they admit that which i 3 a inatter
of-experimental fact—namely, that it is a ma
chine capable of adjusting itself within certain
limits.
The limits of error within Which Professor
Huxley conceives this animated mechine capa
ble of being adjusted or regulated are reduced
to a minimum by the climax Which follows.
“I protest,” he goes on to say, “that if some
gieat Power would agree to make me always
think what is true and do always what is right
on condition of being turned into a sort of
clock and wound rip every morning before 1
got out of bed, I should instantly close with
the offer.” . ...... - ■ ■
