ALLEGIANCE AND U CONDE-

' Allegianto is defined by. Goss to be
the highest and greatest obligation of
duty and obedience that can he. In

prOceeds from Mverartzation,
according to precultadthrum. Name
allegiance exas when the obligation is
recognized by any formality, as the tak

allegiance is due Gans subjects or citi

We barn raid that the relation of a
abject to his liege and of, i citizen to ;

recall a single gamma:tent in which a
sabjeet, or citizen .1i allowed to divest
himself of allegiance at plea:ire, or.by
any process whitener. Many citizens of

most solemn meaner, for elle-,

Fifty years ago it was still the Whim
to speak of what are popularly called
the "Desk Ages," as ages of patellar
moral and mental darkness. In vain
wan It to call attention to the archlteit
and wonders which grew up all over
Earope during that protracted period,
and which even yet' astordah 'all who
look upon them; to those marvels in
painting and sculpture whichyet remain
unrivalled as models of taste and beauty;
to thou hospitals in which the loom;.
nick and - manned were cared for. and
cobiced; to those seminaries of learning
whicianhen took root and deurialual; and
to: chose grand poems which are quite
unmatched by anynimllar performances
during the lasi two centuries. Ages

Modern critics, just as L

Mr. Huh= opened bar History of
thetXiddle Ages with the profcmnd re•
mark that these ages were called dirk
not because they really were so, but bi
cause ire were ins the dark concerning
theta. Those fierce controversies com
menced by Raisins, LUTSZR, Car.vot,
Knox, and their, ' , associate", continued,
under vastly different phases, by Voi r -
TAIRS, ROSagett, iIOLIXBIOICE, HOBBIES,
Skarrantrauti, and brought to a terrific
UtutroPhe by MINTON, 11.1772-AT and
ftdrotarreass, were not favorable to the
formation of dispassionate - judgmesis
upon the men or topics involvid.
- Hr. Maur:ruff, in his introduction to
his History of Retgland, advanced a step
farther than Mr. Raman, declaring
that it was difficult to decide to which'
- the English people owe moat, to the
Catholic Church or to the Reformation,
His algument to sustain this position of
uncertainty is, :that the first . band of
monks that passed evergreen the coati
nentto the island, and settled in Canter
bury, found the people sank bilnubarL
lam, and by slow degrees raised them
sod their 'posterity to that high, degree
of \ civilization and enlightennient to
which they had attained when the Refor,

oration broke' upon them; and that the

appeared of the decay of the religion of
classic antiiltilty and the rise of . Chris.
npantheinini thereof. Amid the
turnings and °vette:Mogi of thole
times, when the memorials of learnlag
garnered wisdom of the ages—were
only preseryed in manuscripts—it was
inevitable that great fluctuations
should occur, in the stream of
knowledge. At one epoch it reseed al.
most entirely away from Christians, and
was fed and enjoyed with almost rigid
exclusiveness' by the sews. The pro-;
fe.siors O learning to most of the 'public
institutions and in the houses of the no,
Nilo., were of , this peculiar race. At
another epoch the nectarean cup pearled
absolutely into the bandit of the -Arabs.
Collor relates how, all through Spain,
the Moors were equally de-Toted to learn-
Jogai to chivalry; and there are' multi-.
plied autb,rities showing the existence
of the same condition of facts elsewhere.

about the unprecedented and enormous
profits made by prOprietars; tell bow

they can pay any reale of wages demand

they have made as well , as they con.
They will ihow themselves bit be fools If
they do not. We suppose, moreover,
that artisans, mechanics and laborers
laid up handsome sums during the prey-,
mance of high wages; If they did not,
the blame rests with their Improvidence
and want of forethortght. .

This principle has received an admir
able illustration In the anthracite coal
trade. During the War the =leers en
tered Into a most clack% combination
for their own' advantage; which,
matter of course, rigorously excluded
the helpers by the employed. The
miners made, through I considerable per
'rind, as high as ale% or ten dollars
day, working not to • exceed Mx hours.
Coal went up In Inarket to littnkais
prices, to the sore dismay of hundred' of
tltousiada of templed Bring on salaries
or othir Axed Incomes, of widows
struggling with the needie or the wash
board to keep the wolf -of famine from

sharply. A furdsys ago, we chronlelOd

authmate companlea had reduced wages
largely. We venture to predict that
I this Is not the utmost state Whlalt the
reduction will reach before the new year
I shall go that:. The opportunity of the
consumers of coal ttai . come, and they
will enjoy It. .
