AMERICAN GENIUS.
The great peculiarity of the American
character is, that its genius is inventive
and alays adequate to emeigencies.
Where others hdlt in the beaten path
way of pursuit or profession; the Ameri
can suddenly strikes out a new goal, and
drives on to fame and fortun-. Who
would have~lhought of carrying clocks
ind.redyn-made shirts to China for a
market, or bringing Connccticnt, with
its shar p-faced soil, into conipetion with
the age fortified inanufact6res of Great
Br itain.
No other man on the globe, with the
same amount of means a nd chanzes, will
or can pet form as much for himself and
the world, as an American. Not to in
di,.idualize, but take him in the national
aggregate. Quick,- fertile, aad ever
tcady, he needs but a sugestion; the
details which others must investigate be
fore they dare to make tie experiment,
ie lets'follow and illustrate the experi
ment, as the -sparks of .fire flow in the
traii of the locomotive at night.
Who ever heltrd 61 an American being
confum.ded by tIre iitricacy or magni
tude Uf the enterprize I In tl:c arts.of
peace and'war alike the same proligal
dow of invention, the same sagacity,
prudence and daring, blended in a sort.
of huiintc-hleroic fresco, 'mark the 4~cts.
and aptitudes of the American. 1is in
stincts arc fresh where othcrs weary; and
tracing his developments industrial, in
ventive, and philosophic, as displayed
in the shor'1 life of the repiblic, it iust
be admitted he transends al ot4jer speci
men of the genus hoini). It is the result
of many causes.-flis position, physical,
iental, tnoral and social, is favorable to
activity and decision of character; and
his political eq;uality .f self-satisfying
conviction thrat he i's equal to the bcst of
men on earth, as a map, gives him inde
pendence in action that is everywhe 're
a dividing-fine between him and other
men-.
Talk of codifounding an American
vith a difficulty or dhiner in enterprize,
Qa or land-in art, science, mathe
matc nroblem, or ev,en 'a buidle of
the fist crok.r.,3roglyphics-the idea
a geography, but he will fnd, -Vvith a
Nantucket schodncr, any port on the
globe, by a slort-!r cut titan ii laid down
in the charts; and if he finds hinself in
ithe West Indies with.a.cargo of bed
v6wrming pans, he will have the wit to
strip off the covers, and sell them for
sugar ladles, at an 'advance of expected
proflt.
IThe tactics of the American are not
laid down in books. In peace or war,
Ihis ingenuity frames the plan of opera
tion on the instant, from the nature of
tire circumstances, and if he is defeated
it must be by sheer force. To him tire
pillar of [Iercules would have betrn less
tthan to the Macceonian; he would havo
auessed instanter the riddle of Sphynx,
and untied betweeri his teeth aud finger
a double Gordian knot. A writer in
Blackwood has well said, that if a sufli,
cient prize were Wffered fur the best
treatise upon any subject in any hin
.rage, the A merican would get i:, even
if hie had to learn the languag~e, study
th'e subject, and write tire work wrnin
three mtnnths. This universal energy,
endtuance iniventiorn, and power to adapjt
himself to any and every end, give the
Americarn Iris wide-world prestige of
super iority as a man.--N. Y. Sun.
OLD TIM~ E WINT EllS. .
in 16G4 the cold was so intense thrat
tire Thames was covered with ice 6I
inchcies thrick. Ainmost all the birds
perished.
In 1691 the~ cold was so excessive
tat tIre famrishred wolves entered VJinnIa
and attacked beasts and even men.
Many peo[ple in Geimany were frozen
to death in 1695, and tIre winters of
1697 and 1699 were nearly as bad.
kIn 1709 occrrrred that fatmous winter,
callcd, by distinction, tire cold winter.
All tire rivers and lakes were irozen,
and evern tire sea for several miles fronm
tie shore. Tire groundJ was frozen nine
Cfeet deep. Birds arid breasts were struckl
dealod in tire fields, and mren perisited by
tousands in thecir houses,
In 1729, in Scotland, multitudes of
cattle aind shreep were buried in tire snow.
In 1740 tIre winter wars scarcely inife'

feet deed in Spain and Portugal. rThe
Zuyder Zece was frozen over, and thou.
sands of people went over it. Arrd tire

Int 174 1 thre winter wa;s vety - cold!
Snow fell in' Portugal to tire depth e.
23 feet on a level.
Sn '1754 and t755 tire winters were
Yvery severe anrd cold. Irn Engiland tIhe

'The winter of 1784 and.i-a5were

From 1800 to 1812 also, the winters

P. S.-Whoop ! huirrah ! light upon

Think of all this badiitiful machinery,
staing off at full motion, all his thousand
outiide feelers answering to the touch of
the Cool ai-, the fl:xtter and crash at the

deredly upon the great %vord, so glori,pus
and dazling to his unknown perceptions
-his net work of nerves, his whecls and
pulleys, his iir pumps and valves, his
engines and reservoir, and all within
that beautiful fountaiin, with its jets and

through the leungth and breadth, without

There is an inportant feature in the reg
ulations of a niaster-mechanic, which
is frightful to some kind parents' heart.;
and that is the five to seven years' ap
pienticeship the boy who learns a trade
must sunmit to. Bmt it is an c:cellent
discipline. It takes the lad at a critical
period of life-when he perhaps has a
disposition averse to steady eiploymept
S-when h is inclined to roam at large,
amid.the contaminating influences about
-him--and puts him to a-steady rounI of
duties-seven at first, bitt soon becom
ing. from habits, agrecaible; and, whent
his minority expires, his steady iqbits,
and industry are established, and he
comes fordh a man, trie masterof a trade,
of fixed principles and good habits, and
blessing to himself and the community;
If parents would but look at it aright,
they would decatre that, had they ny
sons, thr-y should learn trades. Cnn
trast.the youth just alluded to with him
whlo, having a horror ofuan apprentice
ship, in alloa~ed to run,-at large. At the
most critical period of life for f-orming
habits, lie is forming those that are the
rverse of industry. . He is not fitting
himuseff to be ,nan, but wearing away
his boyhood ,., idleness. The pairtial
parent sees this, yet has not fortitude to
avert it. A t t wenty-one years of age,
when the first-nanmed lad comes omt a
goo' nmachianic, it is vonderful if ite
other htad not faisti ned habits u;pon htiu
that will be his ruin, if he is not ruined
alreaidy. More than oine excellent main
in our comimunity can say with thank
fless, that it turned out so that, io his
half dov.t years' apprenticeship, hie is
indebted for thc habits of industry and
sobriety lie has obtained, that, wvhen
le wvas put to a trade, lhe was on a pivot,
as it were. Had it not been for the
firmness ofhis parents, Ite likely would
have been a ruined lad eie his n.inoti
ty expired. This was the 'turning point.

Tn;i CliZt:.:-The Rev. Mr. Turnbull
in a recentdiscourso on the law or revolu
tions, says; .'Ihe Bible for more than a
tlhoLsan( ynrs has gone hand in- hand witi V
civiliz.tion, science and law. It has never
becn lchind the age- iray, it has always
gone before it, like the pillar of fire Lefure
Israf in the wikjcrness. .Its great
principles of order, submission and free
dom, have been stability or States. It -
very ptreseni c:nong them has been a say
ing ark, a rbfuge, and a rest. Ilow far,
evein bieyond the presenlt time gleams the
light ofih at wondrous poor wvhich dcscribes
and pi-omises true fredom and fra
eriy,'that divine and universal brothiek
hood, of which tic naitions onty drcamn. Ini . .~
a word, the Christian Revelation is the
true salt of the carth, the vital lorce of
communiiies and States. It alone regecn- :1
rates white it prescrv.cs, preseryes whilo
i regeneraites. TIhere neveur, says Lord
Bacoin, was found ini arny ago ot ti world,.
ci ther religion , or. lawi, Lthat dit so ibiy
erlt the public good as tho IUible."
