Tho Horrors of Civil War. Thoso who aro investing in 'epaulettes ' and swords, and for the sport they expect from a civil war, or aro sparine no pains or effort in getting one up, will find,should their unholy efforts be crowned with sue cess, that civil war abounds more in hor -r. ? . ..... . n l rors than in past timcs,and that blood and misery rather than plcasuro and profit arc its horrible fruits. Let them pause and calmly reflect upon the miseries in which , they are endeavoring to plunge themselves and tho thirty-one millions of their country 1 men men, women and children. Did they ever read the histories of civil wars ' and note their horrors I Let them tako for instance the French Rovlution and ponder its results before they follow in its wake.

Tho extent to which blood was shed during its contin uance will hardly be credited by the pre sent age, but it is correctly stated that the number of victims reached ono million twenty two thousand, three hundred and fifty-one.

The Gnovmi. of the West. The returns of the census, says IIarpr's Week 1J, of 1800, which have been made public, reveal a growth of population in our Wcs- tern States that is unexampled in history In ten years six States to wit, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, and Wisconsin have increased from loss than four millions to nearly eight. They have, besides this, peopled Minnesota, an entirely now State, and thrown a few hundred thousand people into the Piko's Peak Region, Washington Territory, and Ore- gon. luey havo built moro miles of taU Wiilll "uMtf.'ti ".Vow" 1 ork and i'enu- sylvania be omitted from the comparison, wo will venturo to say that they have moro cities, better hotels, school houses, nnd churches, than all the rest of the country face ; unless prcseut appearances aro very decentive indeed, many of us who read this will livo to see Chicago the most i populous city ou the continent, For eight millions of working people aro a mighty fact. Much has been said aud written about tho delinquency of the West in tho matter of debts. No doubt Wis consin has something to answer for in tho way of btay-laws aud repudiated mort gages; tome other States, too, vtill need, by-and-by, to clear their record of certain laws aud legal proceedings of tho hard times.

Tho world teems with beauty with objects that gladden tho eye and warm the heart. We might be happy if wo would. Thcro are ills that we cannot escape the approach of dis caso and death, of misfortunes, the sun ... i . i .1 dering of the early tics, and the canker- worm of grief but tho vast majority of cv'h? that beset us might bo avoided. The course of intemperance, interwoven as it with all tho ligaments of society, is one which never strikes but to destroy. There is not one bright page upon the record of its progress nothing to shield it from the heartiest execration of the human race, It ought not to exist it must not. Do "y wiiu .in mis let wars come loan end, aud let friendship, charity, love, purity aud kindness mark the intercourse between man and man. We are too sel fish, as if the world was made for us alone. How much happier would we be, were we to labor more earnestly to promote each other's good. God has blessed us with a home that is not dark. There is sunshine everywhere in tho sky, upon tho earth there would be in most heart3 if we were to look around us. The storm dies away, and a bright, sun shines out. Summer drops her tinted curtains upon the cartb, which is very beautiful, when autumn breathes her changing breath upon it. God reigns in heaven. Murmur not at a b-'ing so good, aud wo can livo happier than wo do. Sknator Benjamin's Farewell to tiie Constitutional jien of the Norm Senator Benjamin concluded his elo quent farewell to tho Senate on Monday last, in the following language, addressed to the patriotic men of the North who have stood by the Constitution and main tain tho rights of all the States : "But to you, noblo and goaerous friends, who, born beneath other skies, possess hearts that beat in sympathy with ours ; to you who, solicited and assailed by mo tives the most powerful that could appeal to selfish natures, have nobly spurned them all ; to you who iu our behalf have bared your breasts to the fierce beatings of the storm, and made willing sacrifice of life's most glittering prizes iu your devo tion to constitutional liberty; to you who have made our cause your cause, and from many of whom I feel that I now part for cvcr what shall I can 1 say! Naught, I know and feel, is needed for myself. But this I will say for the ptoplo iu whose name I speak to-day.

A Philosopher. Tho local editor of the St. Louis Iltpublictin, is responsiblo 'r tno lollowing Elsewhere will bo found a record of tho fact (hat a man was held for trial in tho Recorder's Court, yesterday, for stealing ft wash-tub. The facts of tho caso ob ' tained from a responsible authority aro said to bo those : Tho man is a philosoph er. Originally ho was a disciple of Epi Curius, and boarded at one of our popular hotels until he becamo troubled with tho dyspepsia. This troublcsomo disorder upset nil his epicurean philosophical theories, and he at once gave up the use of a large collection of quack medicines and took to lager Seer and tho' vegetarian theory, for the purposo of becoming a stoic. He succeeded so well with this theory that he speedily advocated tho doctrine of Antithsencs, and denounced all pleasures, anJ niiintaincd that abstinence is the highest object of human exertion. Having read of Diogenes and his tub, ho was at once impressed with great admira tion for the man, and it is supposed that it was for tho purposo of practically il lustrating his philosophical theory, in imi tation of Diogenes, that he purloined the wash-tub previously mentioned. As tho Recorder belongs to a different school of philosophers, he sent the unfortunate dis ciple of Diogenes to jail. A Highwayman Outwitted. 'Stand and deliver,' were tho words addressed to a tailor traveling on foot, by a highway man vhose brace of pistols looked rather dangercus than otherwise. "I'll do that with pleasure," was tho reply, at the same time handing oyer in to the outstretched hand of the robber, a purse apparently well filled, "but," con tinued he, "suppose you do me a favor in return. My friends would laugh at mo were I to go homo and tell them I was robbed with as much patience as a lamb, s pose you fire your bull-dogs right through the crown of my hat; it will look something like a show of resistance." His request was acceded to ; but hardly had tho smoke from the discharge of tho weapon passed away, when tho tailor pulled out a rusty old horse pistol, and in his turn politely requested the thunder struck highwayman to shell out everything of value, his pistol not omitted, about him. Beautiful Answers. A pupil of tho Abbe Sicord gave the following extraor dinary answers. 'What is gratitude?' 'Gratitude is tho memory of tho heart,' 'What is hope!' ir ' 'What is tho diffcreues between hopo and desire?' 'Desire is a tree in leaf, hopo is a trco in flower, and enjoyment is a tree in fruit,' 'What is eternity?' 'A day without yesterday or to-morrow a line that has no end.' 'What is time!' 'A lino that has two ends a path which begins in the cradle and ends in the grave.' 'What is God !' 'The necessary being, the sun of eterni ty, the machinist of nature, tho eyo of justice, the watchmaker of tho Universe, the soul of the world.' 'Docs God reason?' 'Man reasons because ha doubts; ho deliberates he decides God is omnis cient; Ho never doubts Ho therefore never reasons.' tST Trade with Japan.
