A MOTHER'S LESSON
*e hive never met any thing more
beautiful in its simplicity, touching in its
truthfulness. or of greater moral grandeur
in its influence than the following little sto
ry. The man who can read it without
emotion must either be destitute of a soul,
or have one so sin-hardened as to have
long since been deserted by the Spirit:
A mother sitting in her parlor, overheard
her child, whom her sister was dressing,
say repeatedly, No. I don't want to say
my prayers, I don't want to say my pray
ers."
" Mother," said the child, appearing at
the parlor door.
" Good morning, my child."
I am going to get my breakfast."
I" Stop a minute, I want you to come and
see me first."
The mother laid down her book on the
the next chair, as the boy ran to her. She
took him up. He kneeled in her lap and
laid his face upon her shoulder, his cheek
against her ear. The mother rocked the
chair slowly backward and forward.—
" Are you pretty well this morning 1 " said
she in a kind and gentle tone.
" Yes, mother. I am very well,"
"I am glad you are well I ern well
too; and when I waked up this morning,
and found that I wss weU, I thanked God
for taking care of me."
" Did you I" said the boy ins low tone

lIIEJLIJSSIAN DIROADe
The: day, long axpeated boa, at last ant-
red ; Russia is in arms berme Europe.
This could not be otherwise: ' Wale is

kiss the ground before him.
It is true that Russia apesihteshere of
Europe, end flaunts in . spublic ie scoMe eT
the externals of civilatiob. It is true that
she big introduced into her territory meny
'of the pursuits and inventions of civilized
hadostry. Herein she does indeed undei
mine the foundations of her despotism, for
Labor is death to all tyranny and the be-
ginning of industry is the beginning of an
insurrection, whose' end is universal freed-
om, universal fraternity; the coronation o
the Workers as joint kings' od masters o
the Earth.
But what civilization there is in Russia
fits not changed its nature ; it has only re
fined and disguised its barbariena ; an edu
cated Russian is more cunning and less
brutal, speaks French and wears French
boots, but at the heart he is still a barbari
an, else how could he be a'sleve ? There
are honorable exceptions, no doubt ; men
of too mush intelligence to remain barba
rous or slavish, men who must everywhere
he honored ; but the man of the Russian
nobility cannot be counted with' these ex
ceptions- And as Tor the real body of the
peeple, what can be said ,-of - them, when
out of sixty odd million *olds comprising
the population of the entire empire, nearly
fifty millions are Ferro in a state of slavish
ness and ignorance even more abject than
that of the negroes of South Carolina ? It
would require lung centuries for civilized
industry and culture to transform that peo
ple. They are and must be ruled by a
military despotism, capable of no imme
diate internal change, except a palace-re
volt, the assassination of an emperor, and
the substitution of one family of despots
for another, for such is ever the condition
of barbarous, despotic States.
The dominant idea of such a state and
of such s people is foreign conquest. It
has never been otherwise, as all history at
tests. The Russians form no exception
to the rule. Ever since Peter the Great
founded their empire, and framed the ma
chine of its policy, they have dreamed of
overrunning Europe, as did their predeces
sors, the Goths and lions ; and not only
Europe, but Asia. They have followed
their bent steadily and shrewdly', for the
the hypocrisy of their Government is equal
to its arrogance. First Poland annexed,
then Turkey and Persia made dependent,
and Austria and Germany couverted into
outposts. They have advanced slowly '
indeed, but have never lost sight of their
MM. France and England have been in
their way and delayed *their movements,
but they have never doubted that ,
i time would came.
The design of this monstrous power is
thus tove:fel4—.the suppression of liberal'
ideas in . Eu rope, and foreign conquest. It
must put down Republicanism and Social•
ism, because they' are surestive and dan
gerous to itself. It must extend

er these statements; which be it rememr i
bared are drawn front official-soureekere ,
too large or too small, though it seems ,
More probable that they are over rather
than under the mark, as thepolicy efßutr
sia and the character of her people 'hive
nothing of that meekness which seek.t
appear of less account than it milli is.,
Russia has always endeavored to impose
on other nations. But at any rats{ ` if the
above be an index. the resources of the
Czar are not so inexhaustible as they ire
sometimes - represented. The commerce
of France with half the population of Reu
el& is twice as great and the revenue`three
or four times as great as that of Russia.—
It it then true that Russia is strongir or
can better endure a war than France or
Germany I We shall see. , '
The great • hogbear of Europeis the Rus
sian army. It is certainly a formidable
affair, and Nicholas has taken cars that it
should be regularly exhibited and to the
best advantage. But we apprehendthat
on a closer examination it will appear less
terrific than at a distance.
' With regard to - the actual Rome of this
army the same obscurity altd uncertainty
exists which he whdattemptito investigate
Russian public matters will find at every
atep, or indeed he will find it to be greater
in regard to the army end navy than any
thing else. This comes from the fact that
the officers from the rank of captain up
live by plundering both their commands
and the government. Russia is in all parts
rotten with hypocrisy and dishonesty, but
the administration of the armed force is
worst of all.
The Almanac de Gotha for 1849 states
the active army in Europe to be, on The
peace footing, Infantry 588,000 men, Cav
alry 07,830, with 1,872 cannon for the
management of which a force of between
50,000 and 80,000 men would be required,
making in round numbers 725,000. Be
sides this there is the army of Caucasus
and different bodies of troops in that quar
ter amounting to 80,000 men, with a corps
of some 25,000 in Orenburg and different
I bodies of Coesacks estimated at 50,000 . in
all. This does not include the military
colonies which may be set down at 75,000.
Taking this statement as correct, and it is
es near so as any to be had, andithe Jeri
lar standing army of the 'empire is between
.-900,000'and 1,000,000 men. Other au
thorities put the figures much lower, but
there is no doubt of the ability of the em
pire to bring any number of men into the
field. The Cossacks alone might easily
furnish 200,000 irregular cavalry instead
of 50,009 as above stated. The only thing
necessary for. Russia to equal the (smoke

only of the lower ranks but of the upper
also, of Generals as well as Ensigns.—
Where all depends upon the favor of a
despot, merit is abolished and the most dis
gusting perversions assume its place. The
Russians illustrate this truth.
Now, an army so officered is a body
without a soul. Make machines of the
soldiers, and the more thoroughly the bet
ter, but do not obliterate all shadow of the
nobler sentiments from the'officers, if you
would have your armies reliable and effi

The history of Russian fighting confirms
our positions. The good officers whom
it has produeed have been rare exceptions.

Kossuth has travelled in Germany, Eng
land and France. lie is tall, handtrotne,
and of imposing appearance ; his head is
of an oriental cast.
The greatest day of Koasuth's life was,
perhaps, when in an inspired speech he de
manded of the Hungarian Diet 200,000
men and 92,000,000 guilders, and the
whole Assembly rose and exclaimed, We
give them ? "
When he was informed that Russia was
going to assist the Austrian, he quietly re
plied: Then 1 march all Poland.agairust
Russia."
Lewis Kossuth seems to be the model
of a statesman in a national revoltitiott of
a modern vast country. The difficulties
which he has to overcome are immense ;
for never before had a patrtot to unite, in a
period of revolution, such discordant de
ments as the Magyar, German, Sclavimic
populations in Hungary are ; yet his mas
ter mind and high soul do not only arena to
rule, but to rouse, impel, and inspire them
all for the same great end.
