Disraeli, tho English Statesman and writer, is said to bo completely broken down in mind and body, by tho uso of opi um, and is nearly imbccilo. r What woujd,bo,pronaunced quicker by adding n nyRaulo to.it? Quick. Origin of Hymns. Tho origin of a hymn, or of any litera ry production, is often the source of tho highest intorcst. If we but knew tho bi ography. of -the sacred songs w.hich arotho favorites of tho churches, wo might fre quently sco at a glanco, tho explanation of their powor, and of tho strong hold thcy havc-upon tho heart. As deep feeling in tho orator -kindles doep feeling in his hear ers, so tho personal experience, of irro .prcssiblo emotion of tho sacred poet, pour ed fourth in the hymn, perpetuates itself in the hoarts of multitudes, who feel its power, though they think not of its sourco. Tho deep solemnity of tho hymn, "When rising frum thabed of death, O'erwhtlmed with guilt and fear," came, beyond question, from the circum stances in which Addison wrote it, just as ho was recovering from a dangerous fcick ncss,,in which ho had gouo to tho very ,vorgc of eternity, and looked over upon its realities. And so that beautiful and .impressivo hvmn of Cowper, "Cod move in a mysterious way, HI wonders to perform," had its origin in tho mysterious dealings of God with his own spirit, and in tho faith that, in the darkest hour, could say "It will all yet bo well." Both these hyms wore wrought out from the experi ence of their authors, and thus clothed with their singular and wonderful power to thousands, to whom the names, even, of thoso authors wore never kuown. As other illustrations of tho same gone .ral truth, it.is said, that tho beautiful aud touching lines, "I would not live alway," -wore written just after the death of 'the' lovely and accomplished lady who was, soon to have been the wife of its author ; and .that it was when. Co.wpor had taken refuge from a terrific storm, in a cottage, that.hc penned tho hymn, "Jcsu, Saviour of my soul," Wo have lately met with tho history cf anotherhymn quo of Wesley's that is sung in every quarter of tho globe ; and though it originated rather in a locality than personal tqpcricncc, yat-thf-t locality was such as to give to a truth all the viv idness of an experience, and clotho its ex pression with a thrilling and heartfelt owcr. At Jaana's Jind, on tno western most point of England, where a high and ,narro w. cliff of grtnito stretches out into the Atlantic, .while, the boundless sea is qn cither side, tho Bishop .of Litchfield .was told by his guide, a Cornish miner, "It was here that Wesley wrote his famous hymn." "What hymn! ' asked theUish pp. Surprised at his iguoranco, the man replied, "Why,tho hymn on the sixty-first page 1" as if all tho world must, of course, know what that was. And tho prelate was struck with tho .pertinency of tho an ecdote, when ho found it was the hymn be ginning, "Lot on a narrow neck of land, 'Twixt two unbounded seas I stand, Secure, insensible ; A point of time, a moments space, Removes melo that heavenly place, Or shut me up in hell." And so, doubtless, almost every striking and impressive hymn has its history ,which, if known, would revertl iho secret of its popularity and power over tho soul. Such hymns as "Just a I am, without one pies;" "Itise my soul, and atratrh thy winga;" "Ruck of age, cleft for nic ;" aud many others that might bo mentioned, each probably, had something peculiar in its origin, clothing it with its peculiar in terest to Christian hearts and for every age. Would that all theso histories might bo searched aud writteu, and thus made permanent for tho Church, Who will give us some of them ? ioston Recorder. Kreoi the Jitchmcnit Eztmintr, Jan 1 What will tlio iVortli do a Sub jugated South J If tho invader should accomplish his purpose of subjugation, he would find himself in possession of a dearly purchased conquest. His work could not be comj'lc ted within less than three or four years cf hard fighting, whjch, at tho rato of six hundred millions a year, will havo runup a debt of two or thrco thousand millions of dollars. Pledged before tho world, and in his own conscience, to emancipate the slaves, he would havo another huge and oostly work to perform in transporting and colonizing them in somo "tropical region beyond the limits of tho .United States." To removo four millions of peoplu from ono region to another, to purchase a .terri tory largo enough for thqjr .comfort and mbs'inoo, audo provjdo them wthfpod clothing nd inciter for tho period of one or two years, occupied in tho tra other thousand million of dollars. Tho coast of tho South would thus fall not far short of four thousand million of dollars. Thoy would find themselves sftc,r tho achievement in a land desolated, exhaust ed and without anv orcanized svstom of labor a country whoso condition ,of for lorn poverty and ruin is only partially pictured by that of Jamaica, in itho West Indies. Thcro is no calamity .which can belall a country bo great as the Joss of an efficient system of organized labor. iLook over tho world, and it will bo found .that no nation is prosperous and -flourishing which docs not enjoy a system ,cf labor adapted to its climato and its .productions. The lcpublioof Mexico and the .wretched Spanish States of Central and South America havo never scon ono day cf pros perity sinee they abolished their slave system of labor. The aboricinal race .is too cnervatod, and tho Castilian;too .proud ana physically feeble to enduro iho toil of tho fields. In conseauonco.'ti'r hn agriculture, aud allother industry has .perished with tho downfall ofJJhatinursing mother of all, tho agricultural art. Tho Northern United States themselves own their rapid advanco in wealth and -power to the vast accessions of labor which they ODtainca Dy tnc emigration from Europe 'In a broad territory, abouuding'in excel lent soils, nothing is so necessary to pros perity, -nothing promotes a more rapid and flourishing national growth, than an abun dance of labor. The wondcrfdl prosperity of the Ameri-' caa Union was due to tho admirable sys tem of labor respectively in operation at the North and tho South. In the States, lying in .tho .higher latitudes, whero the sun's -rays wcro less vertical find fevers less prevalent, and where tho neat husb&u dry required fonthc profitable iculturo of the cereals and the into licence renuired .by the mechanic arts demanded tho labor of whites, tho unceasing streams of cmi igratton from F.uropo, and tho prolifio ac tivity of native generation, had populated the country with a hardy and industrious throng of white agriculturists and mechan ics. In tho Southern States, .where .tho.cli mate was too warm for white labor, and: whero.thoso staples were produced which1 can only be grown in regions generative of levers and congestions, an apparently mir aculous series of events had provided a race of laborers four millions in number. .hotter fitted by nature for bondago than freedom, and so physically endowed as while cap&blo of laboring actively in the fields .under tho rays of tho sun, to be proof, in a great measure, against the dis eases which flourish side by side with eot ton, tobacco, and rice. To removo this system of labor from tho Southorn States' would be to sproad ruin and desolation universally over the land. Tho wholesale removal of whito labor from Northern field and workshops, and tho substitution in their place of blocks and coolies, would not work a more completo desolation in that busy and prosperous section than the geuoral emancipation rnd transportation of the negroes of the South would effcot in this. Supposing, therefore, the North to havo accomplished its two cherished objects of subjugating tho South and oolouiziug its blacks which could be done only at a cost ofsomo four thousand millions of dol lars and many scores of thousands of the lives of thoso whito laborers, who if em ployed in her Holds and workshops, would bo far more profitable to her than when employed in her armies still, after all, she would havo conquarcd a country not worth half its costs, even in treasure, say ing nothing of life.

The different ai tempts to swindle the Goverptpaat of which wo hear accounts continually, yrs call tho story of -the 'horso which was pur chased in Connecticut for tho use of a ny.ii tary officer. It runs spmew.ha.t aftt- '(the following fashion; Tho worthy mayor of ono of ithe (Con necticut cities had raised a fins regimont and w&s .colonel thereof. His friepds (and they wero many.) proposed 'to buy him a handsomo charger. ,Search foritha right kind of a hqrse was made for tpfS near, but .without immediate success. Presently a man arrived from ithe rural district with a splendid stallion, which ap peared to bo the animal that was .needed. But the price asked was .twelve 'hundred dollars..' Tho ownor was ovidently mor of a "charger" than tho qtallipn. " This won't do," said .the ,oommitte,. "We must-talk, to ,this man." So they "talkcd.tp him" after-ska man ner pf mep in the land of stnady habits. They took him tp,tho gepd hotel and ",hacl something." By means of punches and persuasion the owner of tho stallion "con sidering that it was fpr tho mayor" e,ncl so on, would como down to a .thousand dollars. So far so good. Then they had dinner, and also "some thing'' moro, and tho hqrso fell tp ,uip hundred dollars. After dinner tho committee and bcrss owner sot down for a serious talk, nd talked till early next morning, and ab-ut once ip two .hours the horse fell a hundred dollars, so that.whon the, talk ended and tho parties went to bed tho prico fixed fqr tho twelve hundred-dollar ohargqr ,wae three huudrcd dollars. In the morning tho jockey received hie three hundred dollars in gold and a urn Ml bag, transferred the horso and made ;tb following speech : ''Gentlemen, 'sail rightl Wo'vo had a good time, and a good trade, You hav?,paid mn three hundred dollars for my boss and he's your boss 'sail right, gentlemen 1 I paid ono hundred aud fifty dollars for that boss last week. This is a very fair illustration of the way in whioh certain ship-owner tried to deal with Mr. Morgan, tho Government agent for the purchase of naval vessels.
