JUSTICE.

^ : Tpfce jostythat great corneistone of all ethica,
imposes opon men duties, and requires
; thorn to comply with obligations. not contrary
to, but higher than those enforced by the Municipal
Law; forming part, indeed, of a purer
' and nobler code. For that Municipal Law, in
its best present condition, and iu the most enlightened4of
modern communities, is but a sad
mass of justice and imperfection, most insuffi
ciently answering the great ends at which law
^ should aim.
jW Tor it w a very melancholy fact, that a man
may live a long life, and keep himself at all
times within the 'pale of the law, and yet over
and over again deserve to be extirpated from
SOeiety,'*nd cot away and burned up like a
dead, rottejp branch; that if men were restrained
from doing only such acts of wrong and outrage
as the law punishes"aS crijninal, the worid,
- eveo in the freest Republics, and where the
Law of Civilization shines brightest, would be
but one greet weltering chaos of villainy and
vice.
-The law punishes with exemplary severity
the grave offence of theft. No matt jr by what
-***" stern necessity the poor enlpit may have been
urged, (f even by starvation, and the waiting
cries forced from bis wife and children by hunger
and misery; it punishes certain violations
of "that brief 'and emphatic commandment,
"TCbou shalt not steal," by soKtaiy iroprison*
ment, and stripes, and deportation to remote
. colonies of thieves in far-off (stands. It has no
merey bri bim who meets you on the highway,
and, pistol in band, commands you to St&nd
and deliver: on him wh6 enters vour bouse at I
midnight and. abstracts jour money or your
plate: on him who takes your horse, or "with
. i dexterous flhgers elicits your purse,your watch,
or your handkerchief.
But has not the same commnndmont a wider
meaning? Does it not embrace offences which
/!? r the tax does not punish? The sleek dealer in
; goods, who eheatsbis customer in the price or
quality of the articles be sells is guilty of the
?am<M?fficieadf crime-as the highwayman or
burglar, because Jthe-fas* of the victim is the
same; the profit equaHy Dot the rightful property
of him vriio mak.es it; and die criminal incarrirrg
no risk and running no danger of pun-,
ishment, has dot even the merit of courage to
extenoate his offence. He who steals, really,
in some sense hazards a consideration. He
ventares a stake, because he risks liberty;
.:.k.
Ullt W WUU millUlJ OIOIVI^MMO llUllllllg, ouu
appropriates to himself with entire impunity,
belongs t0 Another.
Within the sweep of this brief commandment
come all fraudulent speculations, by which one
man grows Heh by making another poor: all
the species of petit larceny known among us by
the^i|4er name of "smartness,"?and all the
many disreputable tricks of trade: and yet bow
f* oooaistent isa long life, filled like an overflow
ing goblet, to the brim, with such acts, bow entirelyconsistent
>dlh the most .current responsibility.
Bat to all rigbfethioking men, he who
selTs me a damaged article for a sound one, a
diseased horse for a healthy one, and he who
insinuates bis hand into my pocket, and
abstracts ray puree, stand upon the same base
r ;;nTO,; -jr - ?'
And therefore the command to be just, requires
of men the strictest uprightness, and die
nost perfeet fairness in ail th^r dealings. It
requires this, - because it^pereroptorilj exacts
JZt' jvit*cc to all men, and Honesty and Truth in
' ^ ^ ailthe tranaactionioflife.
--*?* -Within the same commandmcnt falls the in*Equity
of gsming. It is not just nor honest to
'^- fykke another's money without a fair consideraIf
won by cheating, it is, in the strictest
~ sense of the-word, a theft; if only by superior

gaming is unjust to others. The winner never
can know whom he is injuring, nor how much
harm he is doing. The stakehe plays for may
be the honor of a wife, the life of a child, the
eternal son! of a man. Suppose that the eon-, i
sequences involved m every gaipe, the real
stake played for, could be as visible-to the eye
as tbe money upon the table. How the pale
players would start back, aghast-and trem- .
hlng! How many a young man is every gamester
raining By bis exsmjue! Admit that yon i
have the strength of mind needful to restrain
yon from gaming to excess: that yon can, afford i
to lose, ami that no one suffers by your losses, i
Ta such the case with the youth who aits opposite
yon, and is perbapstafcing his first lesson
in this, the most ruinous of all habits. When,

the pangs of remorse, and at last becomes a
miserable, degraded outcast, have yon, my i
Brother, been guilty of no offence in the sight i
of Heaven? 1
It is-equally unjust to yoarseif. Nohabitu- ]
al gamester ca?:%e a true Odd-Fellow. No '1
man games for any great length of time with- I
out at least doing so for the sole purpose of 1
gain. It is useless to set op vain pretences to <
the contrary. It is the basest and most sordid <
of all occupations. It is like a hot bed, in a
which selfishness, want of feeling and greedi- '
uess are forced rapidly to maturity. As these
grow, charity, kindness and generosity wither
and dwindle away. Yon soon become unfit ;
for social enjoyment. Inuoceut amusement,
rational conversation, the company of women, i
communication with yourself, becoming irk- i
some; books and study weary you; you live <
in a condition of mental fever and partial de i
lirium, and your very dreams are reeking off <
cards and combinations, of the shifting of For- j
tune, and* the fluctuations of the golden tide.
The Law has made ample provision for pun- '
ishing, by strangulation and other effectual J
means, him who takes the life of his fellow. If
one human creature slays another, (be that 1
other a millionaire or a prostitute,) the report 1
rings in every corner of the land, and all jour- '
nals are laden .with the details of the crime '
and the trial.
Murder is indeed a fearful crime?and well 1
it is, and needful, that the law should punish it. 1
But is there no murder for which the law metes !
out no punishment; and which the Tribunal of '
Public Opinion ever dismisses contemptuously j
from its jurisdiction, as an offence too slight
to deserve its attention ? ' '
Look, my Brother, into this miserable hovel, j
while the storm howla without, and the shat- ,
tered casements rattle to the freezing wind, j
and the snow and sleet beat fiercely against its j
shivering frame. There is no fire, or warmth, ;
or comfort within; but rags and cold and penu- (
ry, misery, disease and despair. That wretch- t
nroiinm ctrAtahod nnfln the damn straw
and rotten leave*, with her hollow eyes and
tangled hair, her bones protruding sharply
through the skm, and rotten and crumbling
with disease; that loathsome wreck of a human
creature, over whom Death stands, his
arm uplilted to strike the blow which, as the
truest blessing, will end an existence of utter
misery, was once a happy young girl, reared
by indulgent, tender parents, as sweet and
beautiful as she was innocent Her skies, my
Brother, were fair and serene, and the futore
stretched onward before her like a green path,
winding amid trees wealthy with leaves and
fruits and garlanded with flowers. She had
never ^one or dreamed of harm to a living
creature. Her life was a blcased dream of
happiness. She was a blessing to all that looked
upon her, as a bird blesses us. in the spring
with its music, or a lovely pieture of a sweet
woman blesses us with the mild glories of its
beauty.
She fell because sbe wu tempted. An am- <
roal wearing the form of manhood did to ber t
a bitterer and more diabolical wrong than if t
he had taken her life. He sedoced her. Had |
he 6lain her instead, he would have deserved j
her profoundest regard. She loved him, trnst- i
ed to him : and he?oh God! how he reward i
ad her for her love and adoration! <
Then tears came in the place of smiles, and <
sobs of anguish in place of innocent laughter. '
Shame and Disgrace hunted her like lashed i
hnnnrlft. and drove her from her home into the (
ruthless world. There her Betrayer deserted
her, and left her to walk with her tender feet
oyer the sharp flints with no one to support
her. For awhile she dwelt in sin's gay, painted
palaces at the mercy of the rude and unfeeling,
the coarse and brutal, until the last
shred of virtue and innocence fell from her,
and she became au heartless and shameless as
her older Sisters of Prostitution. Disease festered
on her vitals, and with his terrible weapon
she took an awful vengeance upon mankind;
uirtH, fallen lower and lower,disease and drunkenness
hunted to this miserable hovel, and she
starved to death in her rags and rottenness. ,
And her Murderer! Lo, you! he walks
proudly there in your streets, clad in broadcloth
and fine linen, and fashion welcomes him,
and beauty smiles upon him: or,.perhaps, in

It is a positive, and not very creditable fact U
to many men of scientific ability and repnta- b
tion, that they devote more time to controversy
and speculation on subjects of no practical g
benefit whatever?and respecting which they never
can arrive at any correct conclusions, p
than to subjects of real utility in which every p
person has an interest. In n* instance has this
been so clearly manifested as in the con trover- *
Bies respecting the question embraced in the it
above caption. A short time since a book by a
an anonymous author was published id Lon- a
don (sinee republished by Gould and Lincoln o
of Boston) entitled " the ploralfty of Worlds,"
in tthicb it is assucped that our earth,. solitary it
and alone, of all the starry host, is in all proba- v
bility, the only planet that is inhabited. The 1
author displays much learning and a fine imagination,
but so far as the question is a scientific
one, it appears to us that it really makes no
matter what the opinion of one or ten thou- n
sand men may be, as it can neither be settled a
by argument nor science, in its present state, a
If we possessed telescopes of sufficient power n
to survey the surface of any of the planets h
the same as we can that of our own, and where- e:
by we can observe objects of life, moving no- e
constrained at distances far beyond the scope tl
of common vision, then no argament would be jt
required to prove or disprove the question of ei
the nlnnata hemrr inhabited, anv more thau it h'
requires controversy to prove that a drop of nc
water teems with life, when examining it with w
a microscope. And since we have not instru. ?
menta to accomplish this, the best thing for m
astronomers and opticians to do in the premises c?
instead of qaarreling upon the subject, is to fl
endeavor to construct such instruments as will ft
3ettle the question beyond the shadow of a 4
doubt. This advice we tender especially to< t]
Sir David Brewster, that eminent philosopher t!
who has just replied to the author of the work rr
in question in a keen and cutting article in the
last number of the " North British Review." p
rhe author of the " Plurality of Worlds," con- w
sludes that the planet Jupiter is nothing better &
than a huge pasty mass of mud andfwater, on di
which no inhabitants can dwell. Sir David b
Brewster considers that although the gravity of le
Jupiter in.proportion to its size, Is no greater ai
than that of. an ^qual volume of water, yet, it fr
may be hollow, and Ita surface as inhabitable ai
is our own globe. If there are inhabitants in e|
Jupiter, the anonymous autnor concludes mat it
lccording to its mass, the men are required to at
36 164 lbs. weight each, while according to la
;he reviewer, who takes the radius of Jupiter?
sot its mass?as his line of measurement they A
ire not required to be over 2 3-4 times as hea- 0
vy as the men on our mother earth. This ques T(
;ion could be far better determined were we
nformed of the particular food of Jupiter's a
ions, and the abundance or scantiness of its ty
supply, whether it was bread and beef, or tea &
md toast, as we find that these things have a
wonderful effect on the gravity of both alder- g(
nen and common citizens on our little planet **
' Herschel has suggested that the sun may bq 'n
nhabited, and that between Its luminous atuosphere
and its surface, there may be inter- e(
posed a screen of clouds whereby its inhabi w
Ants may no more suffer from intense heat ^
ihan those who live in our tropical regions.? a
fhis mav be so. as we all know how much the w
J ? - ?, ?
ieat of the sun's rays, in the hottest days of w
summer, are modified by an interposing cloud,
>r a " swift passing breeze." We also know
;hat on the extensive table lands of high raoun- tc
ains in the tropics, the glaoier and ice field a
reign as supreme as in the arctic regions, and tl
til tbia although they are nearer the sun than ol
;be adjacent burning plains. The depth of the- D
itmosphere, and its pressure upon the surface hi
>f the earth, affects its temperature as much as tt
ts relative distance from the sun, and thus it m
s that many simple questions must enter into re
:he calculation, todetermine by reasoning, the in
complex question of the .probability of the at
stars being inhabited. We believe that neither T
the sun nor the moon is inhabited. The moon "J
lias been foobd to be destitute of any atmos fu
phere, consequently no living thing can dwell th
there?at least none possessing the same fano- th
lions necessary to life, as the oxygen breathing ec
creatures of the earth. As the sun has not an sa
atmosphere like ours, we also conclude tbatr
there are no inhabitants there. These two orbi
appear to perform, according to science, n?
other duties than those described in the first in
chapter of Genesis: " Let the sun and tha te
moon be in the :firmament to divide the d&y ce
xnd the night, to be for times, and seasons) of
days and years, and to give light upon the lo
narrh " ' nf
It is our belief that some of tbe planets, and th
thousands of other heavenly bodies in other rii
systems are inhabited, but we can present no fo
scientific proof in favor of this belief being ar
positively correct; neither can any person pre- be
sent proof thai it -is untrue. All we can say
about it is, that probabilities are in its favor, cb
for we judge that if our -planet teems with [of
life, so may others. It is a reasonable infer* 18
Bnce, from what we see around us, that other 4
worlds may be furnished as luxuriantly with w
fife and beauty as ours. We cannot believe si
that onr planet is tbe only theatre of life in the {
universe?that here alone, among the starry ei
bost, the great Creator has designed to display n
bis manifold power, wisdom and goodness.? fi
We oannot believe that our sun, and the suns ti

speck on the starry ocean. To believe other* s<
wise, would lead us to contemplate a Being n
who had brought into existence a magnificent oi
assemblage of means, without a corresponding o
design, and who has prepared habitations fit 4
for the enjoyment of rational creatures* but hi
has foiled to people them. ' To sueh a view we, fli
cannot autocrine; ail probabilities are iavon- -p

To the present prevalence of negro songi
one can deny, is attributable ranch of the slin|
nd'lov breeding found even among circle
dteto better might be hoped. Said a gentle
ma of fine taste to the writer, speaking of i
idy who had frequented one of the Ethiopeai
xhibitions during a fortnight of consecutivi
venings, "Why, Miss has gonfc so oftei
tatshe is nearly blade." A significant am
wt criticism. There exists in every oo<
nough of the faculty of imitation to enabli
tm to adopt any manner, style or habit wbiol
tay obance to impress his foncy or chime ii
ith his momentary mood; and, as in this pre
mt fallen state of being, oar nature is by fa
tore ready to copy evil than good, we are
anseqaently, especially susceptible of bad in
uences. The negro minstrelsy, acting on thr
able, is, therefore, exercising a more extensive
ltd injurious influence upon society at largj

ie progress of musical science, but also o

om the intellect. Through the medium o
nusement pernicious lessons may be convey
1 with double facility. Here is an eztrac
om a new version of the History of the Cre
ion, taken from the music book of a young
dy:
Dey first made the earth, and den dey made the sky

a process. ... - -a. / -'."it
i Tbefirst thing to be done with the rougl
stones is to reduce them all to on equal anc
level snrfape which is technically fcrtoed "fit
cing." Next they pasa into the hands of the
, Ubuilder." bv whom they are. pat together ir
' the requisite' form, and joined to each other bl
g means of a strong- cement, known as "Mil
Stone Cement." In patungthiese blocks to
. getber, great care is taken that no two jolnb
a ahall bc parallel, and they"are all of differen
0 sizps. The object of so many blocks, and Uh
a care in putting them together is to prevent th<
j recurrence-of the many fatal accidents which
B have occurred from, the "bursting," or flying
3 to pieces of other Mill Stones; a9, by making
I, them of distinotjrieces daws, sen much more
j easily discerned than when the atone is cul
. from ft i^lid rock. Another object is, to as
? similate the blocks, that the different "tern
pere," or kinds of atone shall produee an equal
_ "temper" for the whole atone.
8 In the next place, the stone baa to be "cased*
3 that is covered w?th a smooth coat of cement]
3 tof receive the tire. At this time, also, is formg
ed the "bale hole m the caseing and stone,
f lined with iron and which affords a point foi
the Sfcertion of levers for lifting the stone.?;
i Mr. Sellirmor used an ingenious "bale hole*'
9 of his own invention. .The stone is then sur8
robnded with tires which are put on in the
s same manner as an ordinary wagon tire. Next
it is'"faced," that is, the whole surface of tlM
' atone is brought to ^uniform level. From the
r bands of the "Facer" it passes info those ol
] the Backer}" by. whom the top of the atone is
f coveted with a layer of smooth cement, work.
ed into a symmetrical form which not only addi
t weight to ibe stone but. has to be cut out foi
. the seats of the driver and balance irons, after
, which it is "dressed," and is ready for delivery.
It will, probably, surprise many of our rea!

Social Visiting.
- Sociability is a virtue that should be cultivated.
The individual who lives to himself,
, receives no visit nor psys any, is apt to be;
come selfish, and to look with indifference upon
trie pleasure ana sorrows oi ms tenow man.
Every custom or habit which is decidedly anti,
social in its tendency should be, as far aa
. practible abandoned. Man is naturally a social
being, and if he becomes unsocial, it|must be
' owing to some fault in bis education or in.his
. habits. Ttis necessary that people should as'
sociate together they act and react upon each
r other's character in the most favorable manner.
, A sympathy is excited, and a kind feeling is
cultivated. They become wiser and better
; and happier. The difficulties arid perplexities,
the experiments and successes of eadi are recounted,
and in this way knowledge is obtained.
By witnessing the sufferings, bearing the
trials and sharing the joys of others, our hearts
are softened, and by ministering to tneir necessities
we are made better; and by hearing;
their experience our knowledge is enlarged
and we are made wiser. And as we become
wiser and better, our happiness ig increased.?
A portion of time spent in soda) visiting would
not be lost. As to the amount of time that
might be profitably spent in thiir way no definite
rules can be prescribed. Some nave more
lioaure and greater facilities for visiting, and
others lets.
No person, however, should contract such
habits of visiting as to neglect more weighty
duties. There are some whose eirfeOm stances
are such they cannot spend mOch time in visiting
without neglecting far moire frflportiat da:
ties. * - '.'
The mother, who has a house full of children
depenent upon her for the clothing of
thefrfoxfies and the training of their minds, has
but little time for social visiting; and if instead
of attending to these, matters; die spends a
large portion of her time in visiting, we hold

, The farmer who visits: white be viould be
plowing, is abasing a good custom, and if, when
harvest comes, he is found begging bread it ts no
matter for bim, ho bas made an.unwise application
ofhia time and must suffer the consequences.
Social visiting we consider a good eastern,
provided it is kept in .subordination, bat when
it becomes a ruling passion and people make
look
cidedly pernicious in Ks tendency.
