JOB JPIIIAv°I7I:VG,
Neatly executed at the "Reaister" Office.
Von Mue!Jeri - the -InstOriaiii
"Two principles govern the moral and
:intellectual prog,rOss of the world. One is
perpethal progress ; the other, the necessa
ry limitations to that progress. If the for
mer alone prevailed there would be nothing
steadfast and durable On earth, and the
whole of social life would• be the sport of
‘vind3 and waves. It the latter had exclu
sive sway, or even if it obtained a miichiev=
ous preponderancy, everything would pet
rify or rot. The best ages of the world, are,
always those in, which these two principle§
are the nio.4 equally balanced. In such
ages, every enlightened man ought to adopt
both principles into his Whole mind and.
conduct ; and with one hand develope What
he can, while with the other, restrain and
uphold what he ought.'
"But in wild and stormy times, when'
this balance is destroyed by attacks on the
conservative principle—or in dark and bar
barous times, when the principle of pro
gress is unduly checked it appears to me
that every individual should take a part, and
should become, to a certain extent one-sided.
in order to form a sort of counterpoise to the
disorder that reigns around him. When
fear of truth, persecution-for opinions,-and
stupid persistency, weigh down the human'
mind, the best men of their age must strive
even unto martyrdom, for progress. When
on the other hand—as in our times—:de
struction of every kind is become the riding:
and preponderant tendency all distinguish
ed men must attach themselves obtinately to
old opinions and institutions."

.in baskets or tied in large clothe: Not a'
thing of any kind which can pt:6'sibly'be
made of any use is lost. Weeds, nettles;'
hay, the very goose grass which covers
waste places, is cut up and taken' fee this'
cows. You see the little children efanding - .
in the streets of the villagesr in the ritrearns
which generally run down thenif var .
washing these weeds before they are given
to the cattle. They carefully collect the
leaves of the marsh grass carefully cut their
potato tops for them, and even if other
things fail, gather green leaves from the
woodlands. One cannot help thinking con
tinually of the enormous waste of such
things in England ; of the vast quantity of
grass on banks, by roadsides, in the open
ings or plantations, in lanes, in church
yards, where grass from year to year springs
and dies, but which, if carefully cut; would
maintain many thouand . cows.
To pursue still further this subject of
German economy. The very cuttings of
the vines are dried and preserved for win.
ter fodder. The tops and refuse of the hemp
serve as bedding for the cows ; nay, even
the rough stalks of the poppies, after the
heads have been gathered for oil, are sailed,
and all these are converted intvmanure
for the land. When these are not siiffi
dent, the children are sent into the weeds',
to gather moss and all our readers familiar '
with Germany will remember to have seen
them coining home with largelundles of
this on their heads. In autumn the falling
leaves are gathered and stocked for the
same purpose. The fir-cone - 4' Which with
us lie arid rut in the woods, are carefully Col
lected for lighting fires.
In short, the economy and care of the
German .peasant are examples mall.' He hal
fur years been doing that as it regards
agricultural management to which th'e Brit;
ish public is but just now beginning tofttin
its eyes.—Time, also, is as carefully eCond
