'Jt has cost an immense amount of ready npiby and a . vast quantity of human b100d,,. There fore, England is very anxious to dispens&Mth it. ‘ Therefore, John Bull—through the stjfticr ing speech of Lord Jons Ebsseli,—liaSjipen at much trouble, latterly, to impress the feirld with" the fact that she does not want to&lit. Europe, recollecting what a regular prizefigjWor England used to be, contefnptu<msJy smißh at tho decadence of John Bull’s pluckj andgjsys, ‘‘Poor old fellow I ho was a hearty chap & his prime, hut his raco is run, and he desccnd||ntb tho lean and slippered pantaloon.” ' 0 England’s present aim is to. keop dhwn tho weight of taxation and yet to the national defences, so that that terriblebug bear, Napoo:ok—the political Sphynx ot ihe present era—shall'turn aside any purpofijkihe may have of invasion. < • ..The estimated revenue of Great the present year, is £64,340,000, and mated expenditure £69,207,000.. There wttild be a gross deflcicney £4,867,000-111 thenar 1859-60.! . The Revenue of 1868, just t®re the Russian war, was £62,210,07s the expendi ture was £50,792,512, so that there w(iij : a surplus of income over expenditure in 18$K as compared with 1869, to the tune 0f£2,417j|.39.

This included £18,813,380, lent to, Ireland, Austria, Russia, Prussia,lla nover, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, France,.Can ton of Berne, Italy, the Netherlandsj and’somo minor German princes. ii' . This included, too, tho enormous/sum of £44,029,680 for interest on, the' N&l&hal . PebMlmd e(lajulimfundad, 'tfd to £840,768,7811" At the conclusion of the war .with, Russia,, in, 1866, the attiotmt of the national Debt was £800,000,000, at which :it now stands, and the annual interest-payable thereon, out of tho Hovenuo of 1850, is.£2B;- 600,000—0 n immense sum, yet a great reduc tion on tho interest paid in 1810. How that National Debt, which country squires look upon ns the main anchor bysbich England is kept in her moorings, has gradually crept up to its present massiveness! In 1688, when William 111 was called to the Erglisb throne, Its amount was only £060,000,, ‘ At the end of bis reign, in 1702, it was £lBjoo,- 000. In twelve years, between the accession and the death of Qnocn Anne, it roio to £64,000,000. And so it went on rapidly increas ing, gaining volume as it rolled along, ns a snow-ball does, but never resembling that niveous rotundity in melting away. In 1880, it was £840,184,622. Between that time and 1846, it declined to £768,789,241, —the cimi nution caused by reducing the rate of interest and by actually paying off part of the national obligation. It was £800,000,000 at tho dose of the Russian War, and has somewhat in creased since. But if tho debt increased, so did thc-i@t4io annual revenue. It was £4,000,000 in the time of William III; it was. £6,000,009 in that of Geoecik II; in 1788, after the Ameri can and before tho French war,' it had increased to £15,672,971 j: anil in 1816, it was as high as £76,413,878, including war-taxes, and not in cluding loims.i in-1820, it was £6G,699,570: thenco.it tumbled down, year by year, until it was only £50,494,782, in 1835. In 1865, du ring tho war with Russia, tho annuat-ppM*® revenue of England was £84,606,788! and now, in 1869, a sum of nearly seventy millions sterling, ($860,000,000,) will he raised to meet the public expenditure. Deducting £28,600,000, which is called the Dead Weight, as it is only the interest pay ablo on tho National debt, the actual expen diture of Groat Britain, in 1859, will bo £40,- 607,000. Of this tho more outlay on the Army and Navy will bo £26,082,000, or nearly seven tonths of the wholo active or living expendi ture. Now, ill 1853, before the Crimean war, tliq expenditure 'for the Army ami Navy o f England amounted to £18,404,084—.wh1c!l in rough numbers is about one half the coat n the same account in 1859. In this fact lies the moral force and political influence of the Peace party in England, tho tedders of which aro' Mr. Cobden Bhioiit. Mr. Milner Gibson was one of till) leaders, but ho non; is a m'ember of tho Palmer ston Ministry, and, ns such, Ims continued, no doubt, to put bis Peace-principles upon'the shelf. The great argument used by these able politicians is—although not at war, Great Bri tain maintains n costly War Establishment, which is increased, of courso with augmented expense, every year. When Henry Broikhiak emphatically said. that England was bound in bonds to tho amount of 800 millions sterling ttykeep tho poacaphc enunciated a great truth.' The National Debt', drawing £28,600,000 per annum for mero in tircst, hangs like a millstone round the neck of England, and cautions her against the danger ous luxury of warfare. Vain caution! when the .mere maintaining of England’s neutrality adds'Five Millions sterling to tho Expenditure of 1869. Tho amount actually paid in Great Britain for tho army and navy, is about five dollars per annum for every man, woman, and child constituting tho whole population of that country. This, bo it understood, is thrice as much as is paid by any other nation in tho world. In 1857, for the,army alone, the cost was £12,493,236; in the year 1868, it was ',£11,- 677,765! in 1869 it will bo £13,300,000. In fact England pays largejy for the weakest army in Europo, and for the worst navy, compared with hor pfipulation, position, and means. The demand of tho War Secretary, for 1869, is for a force of 110,000 men. In 1858, according to a Parliamentary return, the Bri tish army.waß thus constituted; >« Cavalry, 17,819 (including 7,972 in India) j in fantry, 150j6C9 (including 74,731 in India, and 32.- 833 in tho colonics); tho. horse nrtillory, 2,578; the foot artillery, 20,698 (4,848 In India); tho oa einoers, 4,176; the onrollod pensioners, 15,416; tho embodied militia, 21,773, nnd volunteer, 15,122.” Deducting the troops serving in India nnd n the Colonies, including the militia ! and evon the decrepit old pensioners who were discharged, years' ag<i, as unfit for duty; but taking no. qccount of tlio volunteers, who are 'Unorganized and undisciplined, and are only playing at soldiers, .the actual military force in Great Britain in 1868, was 106,644. This year, 'Some 6,000 more are needed. ‘ ■' '• But, ont of these; 120,000 raldiers actually upon British soil, not one half would bo avail able,,oh such a sudden emergency as a French invasion—a consummation apparently hearer now than it was, over fifty years ago, when the firatIfASOLEOH oncampedjiis forces at Boulogne arid had prepared a’ flpfilla of flat-bottomed boats to carry'them'across, the channel, to England.. It is necessary, for the maintenance . of public order all over Great Britain and Ire land, that tlio militaty bo scattered all" over the kingdom) and woro .an invasion telegraphed to-day, ■ not 60,000 men, not 40,000, could be got ready, within a week,' to repel it; no', not oven if the Household.troops were called out on active duty. .- There are numerous volunteers, it is true; but what encouragement does their ‘‘loyalty” receive ? Tlireo-fourths of them are compelled to flnd.their own-weapons, as the Government lends only twenty-five muskets to every hun dred volunteers. Their own equipments they also find, at their own .proper cost. It is im perative tlfaf' they bo drilled, by some military sergeant, or corporal, but they must pay him, out of their own pockets, for his services. - In fact, tho Volunteers are by no moans cricou the law for-Volunteer companies to bo organ ized; every description , of fire-arm, fowling pieces included, must be registered and marked in a Government office, under legal suspicion of being a rebel, and ho man'cari sell, as’n'O man in Ireland may buy, ah ounce of giin-pdw dcr, without a license. \ The British navy,’which is to cost £12,782,- 000 in 1869, partakes of tho nature, of dissolv ing, views. There is wonderful activity, in the Government dock-yards, as to' building,• alter ing, arid taking to pieces numerous steamships i and war-vessels, out this Constant doing' and undoing has left : England, m i 860; a.ninch- in ferior navy to what she"hiid-wlion Kelson ivon Trafalgar-much inferior^.-were tlio’ truth' known, than Franco lias at this moment... \’ " The fact iq, England- is- fast .sinking out of her prominent position among tho great Euro pean States.- Sho is no longer able,to dictate,' and must tamelybo inaotive,when the Treaties of 1815, to gain, which she expended so much, are being,tonrttp, as waste paper. Her subjects! grumble, as well they may, at tlio increased taxation—with so littlo to show for.it, and her; governing statesmen are compelled to admjt that new territorial dispositions have boen made' in Italy, of which they know .nothing until it "reaches thcrii, at second liand, through a ndtvs-j paper' paragraph, telegrax/lied from Paris ( /; Eriglbrid will have.to pay $840,035,000 during itha presont year, being an Increase of $85,000,-' !000. on tlio taxation of 1868. She lias a broad hack to hear such a burdoh. Augmenting 1 .every year, the tax-payers will ono day look • out, with a view to its reduction, and perhaps ■Mr.COBDfcs will- then have tho chance which lib so eagerly-desires, of cutting down the ex penditure and yet leaving his country, at least as powerful as sho is at this moment of doubt, neutrality, and dread. * I IJlnstrated Edition of Cooper’s Novels. Of tbe oow and beautiful edition of Cooper’s Novels, to be completed in S 2 monthly volumes, crown Bvo., with original illustrations) by F. 0. c| Darloy, seven volumes have appeared—sufficient to show that the' promises given by the spirited publishers, (W. A. Townsend & Co., of New York,) will bo fully realized. The paper, print, and bind ing are Bapartor to any combination yot made in tina cimntry. The pripo of each volume ($1.50) considering that two steel engravings and ten to a dozen wood-cuts are included, is extremely reason 'able. sThls .edition is issued to, subscribers only, ' and oau bp’dbtained in thUoity from the sole agent, --v; /*, xhe volumes already' publisVod are The Spy, pioneers, Bed Rovor, Last of tbo Mohicans, Bravo, Wyandotte, nnd Pilot, Xho last-named has only just appeared. It was published as far back as 1823, the samo year, in which The Pioneers appeared, and Immediately fixed public attention upon tho author, so different,was it from The Spy, and tho first of tho Leather-stocking novels which had. pre ceded it. In England, moro particularly, it was folt that a’ potent power had arisen, and for many years a new work of fiction by Cooper was almost as popu larly accepted as a now novel by Scott. The Edinburgh Review only eohoed public opinion when it said of Cooper, <’ The empire of the sea has been conceded to him by acclamation; and In the lonely desert or untroddon prairie, among the sa vage Indians, or scarcely less savage settlers, all equally ocknowlodgo his dominion." This was an ovor-thc-water opinion nearly thirty years ago. Tho London Critic of July 23—only a fortnight, ago—presents a fair view of the English . estimate of Cooper, and also notices tho pcouliar morits of the now edition of his novels. Tho Critic says : “ This moat handsome edition—for doubtless it will bo continued—is well worthy of the great novelist of Amorica. The type, paper, and print are each equally admirable, and remind us in some degree of tho very choice edition of Scott, which is now being published by Messrs. Adam & Charles Black. Wo prophesy no short oxistenoo for Cooper’s novels. In yoars, perhaps centuries, to come, when each Amoricnn swamp nnd mountain shall have become & garden—when the red man, and even tho traces of bis roce, will havo disappeared whon mountains will havo bocomo valleys, and valleys mountain*—Coopor’s works will be read as giving tho olonreat, happlost insight into tho early life of American settlers and aborigines. Each day lessons tho chance of any similar series of novels bolng again written; and supposing that a second Cooper could arise in Atnorloa, the materials for similar descriptions would (or oertainly soon will) be wanting. Wo have seldom seen a more beautiful edition of any novelist than that of Goppor, now published, and wo trust It will be as successful In England os on tbo Amerlo&n continent,” In tho last number of tho North American Re* ‘view, it is said “ This edition is more than beauti ful—it is magnificent, splendid, worthy of any su perlative epithet that may bo employed to charac terise it. The illustrations ara numerous, appro priate, and in the artist’s very best etylo. than which, it Is well known, nothing enn bo bettor. We trust that tbo appoaranco of Coopor’s novels in so attractive a form, will renew In the rison, and awaken in tho rising generation, familiar converse with ono who was almost tho plonoor among Ame rican authors worthy of tho. name, and to whom our infant litorafcuro has boon moro largely in debted than to any othor writer in any depart ment for its transatlantic reputation.” The Pilot, which is tho most rooout publication of this edition, singularly attracted public atten tion in England, and has always been popular there. In 1830* when Bentley’s Standard Novols woro commenced, the series opened with Tho Pilot. Thcro wore several causes of this successfirst, the plot had a groat doal of interest; next, irre spective of tho mystery about tho loading oharaotor, Long Tom Coffin was admitted, at once, to bo a perfectly bow creation; then, tho soono was on British soil nnd in British waters; lustly, tho hero, tho mysterious pilot, vas identified with Paul Jones, who was tho terror of tho British coast, during tho war for Amoricnn Independence. Darloy has novor drawn a moro spirited design than tho vignetto on tho title-pogo of Tho Pilot, and it is finely ongraved by Mr, John Wright3on,! In tho boat line manner, upon steel. It represents Tom Coffin on tho wreck of tho Ariel. There bo sits, on the shattered bowsprit, just before, to use Cooper’s words, “Tho wreck of tho Ariel yioldod to an overwhelming soa, and, after an universal shuddor, hor timbers and planks gave way, and were swept towards tho cliffs, bearing tbo body of tho aimplo-hoartod cockswain among tho ruins." The othor steel engraving roprosents tho Pilot ex hibiting to Alice Dunscombo proof of tho honors eonforrod upon him by Louis XVI and Mario Antoi nette. It represents a highly dramatic soono. Numerous smaller goms, from Dorloy’s ponoil, arc Scattered over tho volume, as headpieces and tail pieces, and Ore full of artistical merit and appro priate character, as well ns bonul . Marion County. [For The Press.] On March 31,1858, the Legislature of Pennsylva nia passed an aot to eroot a new county to bo called Marion, out of two townships of Erie county ami largor portion? of Warren and Crawford oountics, provided that tho inhabitants of tho two lnttor counties, In conformity with a lato amendment to tho Constitution, approved of tho croation of tho now county. Their votes, for or against, were to bo given at tho oleotion in October lost. What was the result? M. E. Indiana has 75 agricultural societies j New York, 77; Illinois, 88. Tho noxt largest numboi is in Pennsylvania—oB, and tho ncatf to that is Ohio—63. Minnesota has 11, and othef new States from 22 to 80. RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. Another Eminent -Minister Gone. Tho Church militant has just been subjected to tho loss of another of its most efficient nnd useful members, in.tho death of the Rev. James Waddell Alexander, D.

His lobs will not only be severely folt by the denomination with whioh ho was IdontUlod, (Old School Presbyterian;) but his emibont services to tho cause'of Christianity, by his extensive writings as an accomplished scholar and theologian, secured for him a plaeo in tho hearts of tho people, irrespective of name, that is only attained by the highest ordor of qualifications. His works have boon read with avidity and profiti hpro and abroad. His Volume of Sermons, is a powerful compendium ;of roligjoua truth, and may be said to be—what is no'common morit in a book never prolix, and always edifying.

Hoary Ward Beecher. His palm-alaps fii do-nothing t busy-bodies, devil-dupod drones, misgnldod ‘ reli gionists, praying gormandizers,'and ’good-for-no thing spiritualists, 1 aro oxocedingly Beechariah, ’whioh, in the estimation of many, is paying them no moan oompllmont, Upon tho wholCj tlio dis course presents, in foroiblo stylo, much good phi-’ loeophy and common acnso. The following text of Scripture formed the basis of his disconrso: “ And that ye study to be quiot, and do your own business, and to work with your own hands as we commanded you. that yo may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may hare lack of nothing.”—l Thessalonlans, iv, 11,1*2. Speaking of tho first proposition, of “ studying to be quiet,” Mr. Boecber said: “ A grcatmany'persons seem to study tho reverse of this; they seem to feel that by arousing indig nation and by outspreading themselves, tnoy can in some way atone for thoir circumstances. It is a Christian disposition, even under the most provo king circumstances, to be quiot. If, when trouble surrounds us, wo have not moral coolness, we are, .nevertheless, to study for this disposition of swcot ncss, serenity, temperance, moderation, gentleness, quiotness. “ Tbo soeond thing is occupation. The meaning of this word is explained in Paul's second letter wore iritn yt m, yod, that if any would not work, n.Jthor should ho eat. 1 What a time there would-be .inNow*Tonc'iftuio--*w»»a -boonfqrced now! ‘For wo hear,' he says, ‘that there are same which walk among yo disorderly* working not at all, hut are busy-bodies. 5 An ex-; qnisite gradation; they are busy always—{busy bodies, 5 but they never work. There is nothing, I supposo, more busy in sultry summer days - than files are, and what a world of trouble they take to report their , activities, buzzing and flying every where, and what is there on earth oyer effects so little? Many people are like them—*exceedingly busy, but doing nothing. “Every Christian man is bound to have a regular and appropriate occupation. What it shall ho must bo dotorminod in- evory oase differently—by oir enmfitanoos, by mon’s dispositions, ana by their places in life. Put an occupation, as a general rule, is indispensablo to good oonduot, and to good morals and good religion. A regular ocoupation, in the first,place, is an clopient of health—activity both of mind and body arc positively wholesome. A houeo without an occupant wnatoa sooner than in any other way, for the worst possiblo tenant is no ' tonnnt at nil. A machine that is laid up rusts away and is destroyed faster than if it was in con stant uso. God has made both inind and body to bo healthy by using, by appropriate aotivity. Tuere aro thousands of sick persons in tho world who Would not bo sick if they oply had boon fortunato enough tobeobligedtowork. Thero aro thousands of'valetudinarians who aro forever‘indisposed,’ because they aro forovor indisposed to do anything; and the beat dootor that could he sent to them would bo bankruptcy, by which they would be drivon out to tnjco care of thejnarivc*, and, bo obliged to work. Thero are thousands of rich people who pension armies of nurses and physicians, simply because they are without an occupation. “No man without industry und without habitual occupation, has any right to expect either health or happiness. Too much, and no ocoupation at all, come to about the snrao thing—extremes meet.” . Speaking of occupation a? being indispensablo to happiness, ho continues: - “I believe in temptation by evil spirits; that thero aro such things, and that thoy are to be watohed against; but I don’t bolievothat ono out of ton of thdso temptations that people ascribe.to the devil belong to him at ail—they belong to themselvos, and to nobody else. To a want of.oc cupation belong all manner of ovil desires and fan cies apd corrupt Imaginations. “ Occupation will go fur likewise toward tho re straint and euro of all grow and animal lusts. When the salacious devil enters a man, let him put spurs to h)B industry and work for bis life; make tne dovil pant to koep up with you; and you will run him off his foot, and no will bo glad onongh to lot you alono. Simple food, hard and /tiresome worn, absorbing occupation, and plenty of cold bathing—that will withstand and control a vast amount of evil inclination. Man is to study for those things, and thon when you have used all these means, you may pray . But to set yoursolf to pray, and then go and gorge yoursolf with sti mulating foods and drinks, ana not in any way to avail yoursolf of tho proper means, is to mook God and cheat your own goal. Tnlco.oaro of yoursolf first, and then pray afterward. There is nothing better than occupation, and you will find that you can work the devil down a hundred tiraeß when you can wrestle him down once. Tho devil don’t liko work \ he is lazy, and that is tho reason he likes lazy poople. “ Occupation is good likowlso for tho disposition, moods, as thoy aro oalled, of your abstraction, dis satisfaction, and discontent, arising because mou have nothing to do, in thousands of instances where they would not arise if there were wholesome and engrossing occupation. “Let no man count it a .misfortune that he is obliged to bo busy. If a man loves to work, go that ho enn say honestly, as I oan, that ho had rathorwork than play—that his appointed business Is sweetor to him tbau anything he oan think of in life—all tho fortuucß on earth arc nothing to that man in comparison with having so much to do. ’ < , *Xot so wun aspiro to a place where be shall completo bis happiness and prosperity in this world, so that ho shall havo nothing to do. God so tempers affairs that when old. ago comes on and habits aro established, God gradually takes away from man both tho oapaoity and tho neaossity for work, at a time of life when ho can benr such a state. “ Yet how many are thero who put this vision boforo them ? Entering life, they say, ‘I am now twenty-ono; if I am industrious and successful in my business, by tho timo I am forty I shall have amassed all I want; then I shall rotiro.’ This is just about as'wiso as if a ship, after having made several successful voyages across the ocean, should say, * One or two moro voyages, captain, and then you must lay mo up;’ ana when it is laid'up, tho summer rains boat npon It, and tho winter snows cover it; the planks shrink and oraok, tho rigging is rotten, by-and-by spar after spar falls, until at last tho ship that novor was fit for anything on tho land is unfit for tho sen, and lies there a miserable wreck of a hulk. , “ All along tho shores of life I soomen m middle lifo lay themselves up—and thoro they lio shrink ing and orooking, good for nothing on soa or land. Now, if anybody wants to retire— ait! That is tho best kirnl of rotiring. There is no place in this world for lazy mon, lor do-nothings. - God has made tho lifo to be wrought out; ho has made mon to be aotlvo—to work out their lifo; ho has given work to ovary man; and that man who sneaks out and loaves his work to bo done by others, is void of solf-rcapcct— ho is not a man, a homunculus rather. Yot how many mon are there who sot up for thorn solves this ignoble end and ambition? Work, work, as long as there is warmth in your palm, as ong as there is fire in your brain! Work; and worit unto the gate of Death, standing perpendicu lar. * * “ Again: No person should bring up childron without a regular and engrossing occupation. I beliovo in tnat old Jowisn provorb wnioh says, ‘ Every man who brings up a ohild without a trado brings him up to steal.’ Don’t undertake to bring up your children of necessity to be moths upon so ciety. “ JBow many, many instances do wo find of groat, stalwart men who have miserable puny children? In their offspring God, -punishes them for the sin of parental indulgence.-'lf you are strong and rich,* nevor say in. respect to your children, ‘They shall not fare ail fated;’" - ■ .

Letter from Ephrata* [Correspondence of The Pross.l , <. _ . . August 4,1859. • Mu. Editor : In the revolving of tho seasons, I again, in a most abundant harvest, am ponnitted to make ono of a vory largo company, now passing the summer months in the cool retreats of the South mountain and the beautiful Ephrata valley of rich and good old Lancaster county, Tho resources of this county are exceedingly great, possessing all the elements of greatness within her vast fertile limits. Her wheat crop this year is sot down at 2,000,000 bushels; and the oorn crop, which is now very promising, at 2,250,000 bushels; the oats crop at 2,000,000 buslioU ; and tho potato crop at 250,- 000 bushels. Huy wo may safely estimate at 120,- 000 tons. Butter, it is supposed, will reach at least 2,500,000 pounds. Tho rye raised this year -will amount to at least 600,000 bushola. Now, estima ting wheat at $1.50 a bushel, rye at 80 cents, corn at 60 oents, oats at 30 oents, and-potatoes at 40 cents por bushel, and the hay at $lO per ten, and butter at 16 oents per pound, it will make‘an ag gregnte over $7,000,000 os the produot value of ono year’s orop of this foTtile cotmty, leaving out tho tobacco crop, tho beef, and other articles, which, if counted, would exceed $8,000,000 in value. “ Tho population of Lancaster county was 99,760 in 1850, out is doubtless now ovei 100,000 souls; tho yiold of grain, &c., is at tho rate of $BO worth of produce for every man, woman, and child in the county. The assessed valuo of tho real estate of the county in 1850 was $25,324,391; personal pro perty $0,468,878. The assessed valuo of tho real and poreonal property in the county, as fixed by the revenue commissioners of the State in tho year 1857, amounted to $35,249,549, an increase in valuo in sovon years of $3,456,190.” Wo aro well quartered here; a suite of rooms and quiet pariors, plenty of rich and wholesome food, gathered fresh from the farms in the valley, good hnd pure air and water giving our appetites a keen zest for our regular meals. I have spent somo calm and happy hours in my m'ountnin walks. I wish you wero boro, to mingle in .pup various topics of conversation undor tho shady troes. We havo a host of fino intelligent men here, who pass many hours iu conversation upon tho affairs of tho • nation, and Pennsylvania interests more especially. Politics seldom taken up. Your correspondent “Occasional” at Washington, now and then gives us a bone of contention about our venerable friend “J. B.” I give about tho third of my timo to this kind of divortlsement; tho balanoo is spent in reading and walking among tho beautiful trees and vorduro. God has bestowed upon this valloy most singular beauty ; you uro charmed and captivated by its oxtent in richness of fertility and magnifi cence of moat extended mountain range, abound ing in every direction of tho horizon, its prosent boauty of varied hue of greeu will soonmfngloin the rich and. delicate tints of autumn/and itsgor geousness will soon pass nway>, The mutations of vegetable lifo havo to mo always prosqnted a plain lesson: “Liko 1 leaves on trees the race of man is found, — Now green in youth, now withering on tho ground.” Ilere wo have music and dancing, as soon ns the gcntlo nnd coy evening throws her mellow shadows upon tho valley and tho mountain. The vespers, at an hour so calm and soothing to the mind, are forgotten for tho voluptuous mu9io of tho danco and tho waltz. It seems to be the popular mode of the gay and fashionable in spending their even ings. It appears to me, I every year observe more prido and vanity among our people at the summer resorts—an effort to make a great display in dress and jewelry, as also in livery equipage. Tho sim plicity of our earlier habits is everywhere depart ing from us, and with it, may I not Bay, our solid comforts and enjoymonts? There is a repulsion to true happiness in all this. . Tho youth are ener vated by'the extremo luxury of the times, lam aware we. are an importing nation. We purchase all the gewgaws that have the sanction" of her Grace tho Queen, or her Royal Highness tho Empress—an imitation of foreign courts, an aris tocracy whom wo despise, os republicans. I ask our ladles and gentlemen Americans why they should saorifico a blessed boon of indopondence, and render themselves more imitators of the cor rupt and licentious habits of Europe? It must arrest the attention of ovory reflecting mind, that a large number of tho wealthy people of this na tion are introducing a stylo of splendor in living that is widely different from that of former yean, and in it they aro weakening tho strength of tho Republic morally and physically. As wo aro young among tho nations, may wo not hope for a period when our customs shall present to tho world the simple and virtuous habits of a free and most in dependent people on earth?
