Such a resul t meets the decided approval of tho Times, and the article concludes as follows "The Interests of England and the United States are uow bo luterwoven In commercial, and therefore, also iu political matters, that the character of the American Executive Is of no small importance to us, and we believe the general opinion to be that the States have never had a Government more straightforward and conciliatory than the present In its foreign policy, and mora to be trusted by those whoso commercial and financial interests are bound up with the maintenance of American credit. The firmness and moderation with which order has been restored, the economical skill with which the debt has been reduced, aud the good will with wbloh International controversies liave been brought to a close, make us anticipate with satis faction the election or General Grant to η second term of offloe."

Probably in no other country la honest labor so muçl» respected and ι esteemed as In ourewn *and yet as wealth increases and becomes ooncen· tratcd there ia danger, especially 111 our cities, lest we may share in the opinion, so common in other lands, that there ts something of degradation or of reproach connected with the idea of toll. It is a most insidious notion, creeping unawares into the heart* of many who would despise and nbjuro It as a theory, and silently diffusing its poisonous Influence over their llvee. To be able to live without exertion Is looked upon as a privilege worthy of almost any present effort or sacrifice to obtain. Mon who Iiave arrived at that desired liaven, by whatever steps, •re admired, flattered and envied, and public opinion enelroles them with a dignity and honor which are often tar beyond their real deserts. Some who would scorn the imputation of deplslng labor or honoring idlonc*?, do yot, perhaps almost unconsciously, regard men, not according to their persoual endowments or character', but chiefly their external circum stances. The simple ability (o be Idle b too often a passport Into society, where character, energy and education ilooe would fail to Mud admittance. Jlulf the excuses and apologies in the world are made for beiug busy a strange sort of sliamo seems to nccom pany the fact, when In reality It is the idler who owes the world an apology for his very presence his own exist ence ought to All him with continual shame. It Is, however, not so mnclt labor In Itself which we thus secretly dishonor, as tlio necessity for labor. The rich man may engage lu any work I his tasto prefers without forfeiting the world's applause bpt if his circum- «tances change, and he continue the same labor, not bccause lie choosos, but bocause he muît, though his wliolo nature and character romain unaltered, lie will be first pitied and tlieu for saken by those who once courtcd and envied him. Now it is just this neces sity for labor that gives it at once Its highest dignity and Its greatest im portance. The most obvious reason for working Is to supply our physical wants. AVe all need food, clothing and shelter, and we.labor to obtain it. Having done this, our wants still mul tiply, and wo work ou to procure com forts and luxuries of every description. Our houses must bo furnished, our 1 children educated, our minds Informed or amused, and our tastes gratitled. All thl· U right. For those and sim ilar objects tho large majority of peo ple arc tolling, and la so doing are beuetittlng not only thernsolves, but society nt large. There lies, deeper than all this, α necessity for labor but little recognized, α law of Industry, seldom fathomed, whtch Is that ex ertion is the basis of all human Im provement or happiness. Every one who has watched an Infant knows that its ceaselcss activity ls the chief means by which It acquire» knowledge or secures pleasure. Deuy It liberty of motion, and you have destroyed Its happiness. If not its very life. Λ11 education Is but', the awakening oi the powers to their full activity. If this be not done, instruction is useless. Our senses only convey knowledge or pleasure In tho proportion to whtch we exorcise then. Tho entire meclian ism of the body shows its adaptation for work, and if wo Imposo idleness on any 'member It becomes useless. Tho wbolo worid of matter Is open to man but unless he work It up Into form by I1I3 labor, It is for him a shape less, unmeaning mass. It Is not alone tint man must use his powers In order to Drocure certain outward results, but by this means only is he ablo to enjoy them. Could any one by a miracle be at onco absolved from this law could be have all his wishes Instantly grat ified without personal effort, lie would soon cease to enjoy, then cease to de sire, and, finally, ccase to live, from the misery and weariness of Inertness. Labor is, iu fact, tbo very essence of true dignity, and the mark of superi ority. The animal is higher than the tree, because of his voluntary motion, and the man is higher than the animal I only as he puts forth his powere ener getically and gladly for noble ι purposes. The distinguishing glory ι of man Is his ability to improve but ι this is dependent on his willingness to work. The idler, be lie poor or rich, grades his manhood and forfeits hie ti tle to life or happiuess. Labor Is in- ι deed a necessity, but one which, instead ι of being ashamed of, we may well ro- I gard as our chief honor. It we rightly apprehend jt we shall prize it, not only as a means to procure material bene fits, but as the channcl through which j all improvement of mind, all stability ι of character, all virtue and happiness j must flow. It Is, in fact, the founda- J tion of all that makes life worth llv- ing, the basis of all tliat Is sacred, no- ble or progressive. None are exempt ι from this law. It binds alike the rich j and the poor, the old and the young, the man and the woman. "If any ι man will not-work, neither shall he I eat," Is unfailingly true In a far broader sense tlian is usually thought j of. Though he may eat of food which he has not earned, he can novcr eat of t the tree of knowledge or the tree of lift. lie cannot develop his mind, his y heart, or his character; he must live f unblessed and unbleestng others. Who then dares to say, "I have no need to work A dcoper necessity thau any t poverty can impoee lies on every man s and woman to engage with enorgy and devotion In some worthy object—tho necessity of the nature which God has given them, and which can only thus develop into true mauhood or woman hood. 1 Wmrc a man tells a gaping public that "the absolutold and abs'.ractoid eleraentlsmus of being echoes or rear pears by analogy wltnln. the relatoid s and cooeretold elaborlamus," we can only marvel and sav with Solon Shir· gle, "Jess so.

Such ι caso, however, we aro called upon to record. On tbe night of October 21st last the National Mabalne Bank of [}rcat Barrington, Massachusetts, was robbed of $28,000 in currency. On the Following morning when the officers of tbe bank came Into their office and opened the vaults they noticed that the papers and books wcro asmewlmt dis arranged, and on examination It was round that tho sum of $24,850 In. cur rency had bo en abstracted. Further investigations showed that the vault· lyere opened by some one well ac quainted with the institution, and the ion-appoarance of one ot the Faying Dlorks, pointed strongly to him as be ing tlie man, as his whereabouts could lot be ascertained. Tills young man proved to be William S. Hine, a young man, 19 years of age, live feet six In ches in bight, light build, smooth face, :lark hair, thick lips, nose large, and lias a quick, smart address. This young gentleman had the entire confidence of the officers of the bank, Is of a highly respectable family, In good standing, well known In New York and Massa chusetts. He know the combination, and on tho night mentioned entered the bank, abstracted the funds, and left the city tho same evening on his trav els.

Dorland, represented the one-seventh of Bedoll, who was absent, and that under that partition, according to the evidence, the several grantees took possession, and have kept It evcrslnco. Dorland drew Bedell's share of the lots, but ho had no authority to do it. Thirteen yoars after this division was miide, and after tho grantees were in tho exclusivo possession of their lots of land, this Bedell makes his appearance and flies his bill for the partition of the tract. It does not appear that he ever paid taxes on tho property. He now asks that the persons who entered 011 tho land 13 years before hU bill was filed, should bo considered as tenants in common with him. In my opinion there is no scintilla of evidence to jus tify such a claim. The bill must be dismissed, and Judgment enterod for the defendants. Tho plaintiffs except.
