There are so many different opinions as to what is respectable, that evidently, a portion of them must be erroneous. Sonie people, not a few in number suppose it lies in fine clothes, Erie houses and furniture, fine. horses and carriages, and all that sort of thing, with out the smallest regard to moral worth or whatever. Others believe it to consist in associating with a certain sot of exclusives, who scorn to speak a civil word to those they think beneath them in the , so cial sealei• respectability with them consist ed in living isolated in their Own heartless, narrow circle, outside of which all is mean and degraded i their eyes. The Saviour of Mankind, were be again on earth, would be to them a low-born, vulgar person, unfit for their exalted society, because he hesita ted not to eat with publicans and sinners. That man or woman who does most .to pro mote the happiness of his or her fellow be ings, is in truth the most respectable, in the proper sense of the word. It matters not if they are clad in the coarsest vestments, and are brought in contact with the vilest of the vile—so long as they keep themselves pure, it does not detract from their respectability in the slightest degree. When we all learn that our own individual conduct is the meas- • um of our respectability, and not the clothes we wear, or the set with whom we associate, we shall have learned lesson• which will save us 'from Many mistakes. For ourselves we hold that society the most respectable Which does the Most to reform the erring, and most to keep ali from straying from the path of virtue. The poqr may be respecta ble as well as the rich. You cannot buy res pectability; it's a commodity that is not' in • the market, although some shallow-pa.ted fools imagine that the possession of a few .p o ll rs is reeruisito - to olitsirvirsu p y an= ,conseqiiently give them • a high stand a mongst quasi respectable people.

WISE cotakismi: When - the enrollmeht -hitt was under dis cussion in .the ~- United States Senate, Mr. Foot of Yard:ant made a few general remarks . on the state of the country, which were' un usually,weighty, just and. pertinent.. The following brief, extracts ate particularly wor thy of every man's' profound study at this crisis in our national , affairs : NO COMPROMISE 'WITH TRAITORS. hWhatever may be the cost or whatever may be the sacrifices of saving your coun try, it will be infinitely less than the coat and sacrifices of looting your r country. If the "Impishlie be saved, all elie, comparative.' Iy - speaking,issaved - wittlt. If the public be lost, all else of this world'a geode or of this world's hopes which are worth iVhsc, or, *rarbreh dying. for, are lost with it, andlost irrecoverably and forever.. Theie can, in the Maine of things be no terms of settlement ;. there can be no terms of compromise; there can be no profferd of negotiation to traitors in arms against your assailed and betrayed coudtry, short of their , entire subjection, the complete overthrow of their military power; or their' unconditional surrenderand absolute' and unqualified sub mission-to tbe-auth-ori&-an.b-Wl-8-wetthe government they have attempted to destroy, and with ample sureties for keeping the peace forever thereafter. Would you con cede anything More ? Would you accept anything less ?" BUT ONE COURSE TO PURSUE. "There is but one plain and palpable_ course For us, and that is to prosecute the war with all the-vigor and with all the en ergy and by all the means that God and na• ture have placed in our hands, and Within the recognized limits of civilized warfare, to put down this rebellion. Sir this Republic must conquer the rebellion, or the rebellion will,conquer-the-Republic, - and__there other alternative. Trusting that the God of battles, through the agency and, the instru mentality of our gallant hnd heroic officers and men now fighting in the field for the cause of the Union and of free republican • ratn4 - X6ll - 80 ero - wnCatYarws With triumph and give us victory and peace — , we wait in patience, we wok in hope and in confidence, the final issuo of the contest THE UNION MUST BE RESTOHEA. ' 4 Never despair of 'the Republic. This rebellion must be put down. The Union must be restored. This Republic of ours, with all its promises and with all its hopes for the future and for the world, must be saved. I repeat, this monster rebellion must be put down ; this foul eonspiraoY against the life of the best and most beneficent gov ernment the world has ever seen must be crushed out. We arc not at liberty to doubt about it, we are' not at liberty to speculate about it; I had almost said we were not at liberty to debate about it. It is simply and only a thing to be done, to be done at all events, to b done at all hazards, to be done at all sacrifices. If more men are wanted to save the goVernment, more men will be had. If more men are needed whether it be one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand or five hundred thousand to save this -Re public of ours, my life, upon it you have on ly to make that necessity known and they will not be found wanting in the day of their country's peril." New Style of Religion Some ono, whose head is usually "level." has written out his ideas of religion as fol lows. It will do. to think about: We want ao religion that goes into the family and keeps the husband from being spiteful when the'dinner is late ;' keeps the wife from being spiteful when the, husband tracks the newly washed floor with his mud dy boots, and makes the husband mindful of the scraper and door mat ; amuses the children as well as instructs them ; wins as well as governs, them, projects the honey moon . into the harvest moon and makes the happy hours like the eastern fig-tree. bear ing in its bosom at once the beauty of the tender blossoms and the glory of the ripened fruit. We want a religion that not only •s= --on--the+-rAtr-fitlf:ees:-• Tz. cality of lying and: stealing ; a religion that .banishes all small measures froni the count. • ars, small baskets from the stalls, pebbles from cotton bags, clay from paper, sand from sugar, ,chicory from caffe, beer-root from vinegar, alum frOm bread, lard from , butter, strychnine from wine, and water from milks cans. The religion that is to advance the world will not put all the big-straw-berries and peaches on top, and all the bad ones at the •1 1 : : . I i 1 6. 6: 1 foreign wines than the , 'vineyards ever _pro duced bottles. The religion that is to sanc tify the world pays its debts. It does• not considder forty cents returned for one hun• dred given, according to Gospel, though it is according to- law. It looks upon the man who has failed is trade and who , ,continues to live in luxury,, as a thief. It' looks upon a man who iromises to ,payitind who fells to pay it on detnatid,.With or; withdut inter est, as a liar. • The inipressions of childhood; how inef fa!eablirthey are!

The mechanic arts suffer in propor tion. Scarely less than two fifths of our a dult male population are new devoting all their time and energy to ' ' pitting down the rebellion. Of these, a vast number are in. the field with our brave generals, a large --part-mee--our - ships - of - wiir, now countirb-y -hundreds, and many are in hospitals, _while those employed in the navy yards, ironworks, machine-shops, and in the manufacture of military clothing and equipments, and in producing munitions and supplies, swell the aggregate to the limit we have-named. This great class of producers cannot be withdrawn from their ordinary.pursuits without a great diminution in the products of the country. When the supply is greatly diminished, and the demand not only. continued but increas ed, prices must advance. There is no pos sible help for it. If we could return to a specie basis to-morrow, it would still be a war basis, at wet prices. - - -There-is-but-one exception to this advance in prices, and that - is Government bonds, and they are no exception. to the rule, and only follow the general law of supply and demand. The necessities of war have made thencalmn -7-4113-11-01 the war ends the su will be dear—and the wan who invests is theta now is sure of a liberal profit. - A reduction ,of the currency _will be well, and we have the official assurance of the Se cretary of the . Treasury that it is now taking place; but it is not the infallible panacea for financial disorder that many suppose. Mr. Cisco, the Assistant Treasurer of the United States at New York, states that he has can celled forty-one millions of interest bearing legal tenders within two weeks, and that he now holds thirty millions of greenbacks—and yet bread and butter, wheat and cloth are no cheaper. The first cause of the increased eost,of all commodities, gold included, is altogether out side of,the currency. A redundant currency. increases 'the misfortuo, but does not create it. But suppose the government does con• tract the currency; what is to prevent the State banks; that give no security for circu lation, from quadrupling TLIEIR paper issues, as they have already done in many parts of the country? • What, then, can be more ab surd then to make the government or Treas ury Department the swipe goat for evils that are simply consequent upon the most gigan tic war the world ever knew. If the body has a fever, is it just to make the hand that supplies its wants responsiblo for its unnatu ral condition?—N. Y. Examiner, of June 22c/: The, Speculators. The mere rumor, predicated upon so.slight a foundation, is that to which we have allu ded elsewhere, that propositions of peace were being made,,sent down gold and pro duce, in New York, to a much lower figure than that which they had occupied a day or two before. This shows how sensative cred it is at the present moment,.and how slight• a matter may cause an overwhelming aVa- Jericho upon the whole country.

Miss Mulock says : "A lady of my acquain tance gives it as her sine 9.ua non of domes tic felicity that the trien of the family, should be absent at least six hours in the day."— And truly a mistress of • a family, however strong her affection for the male members of it, cannot but_ acknowledge this as a great boon. .A house were 'papa' or 'the boys' are always about, popping in and out at all hours everlastingly wanting something else, is a considerable trial to feminine patience.
