Probably all writers upon or history, from, the beginning of wholesome lectures to a deaf world down to the present writing of ours, which will bpr;*& -little heeded as theirs, have^narked upon the bad consequences “' ciple for the vantage, or loose, plausible general ization for a special application. is never possilHf to get rid of the wrong which has helped us to do our right The old familiar myth of selling $he-'8oul to Satan for some present good; embodied a truth de veloped in numberless events of his tory, and confirmed in multitudin- ous individual experiences. Evil often enters into the course of our life like a wedge, | the fine end of which is glittering with the promise of^leliverence from evil. But once entered, its broad base is free to be hammered by all passing passions and interests. There can be no greater mistake than to accomplish •by sophistry the good we can not do by reason. Good accomplished by falsehood is itself one of the greatest of evils, for it becomes a respectable false witness to deceive and destroy. Nor is there any more dangerous sophistry than the use of plausible generalizations for particular appli cation, when we know them to be in applicable to all other particulars in the same relation, and therefore false. We can not restrict the ap plication. The maxim once set loose will be applied wherever the restle ness and perverseness of men find oc casion for it. A false principle can no more be restrained in its use than gunpowder. Whether it be used for or against society will depend upon the hands into which it may fall. All this is very commonplace, but it is true. Last week we remarked upon the consequences, now so visible in our country, of the undertaking to set tle the complex affairs of the nation upon the point of a proverb. The Declaration of Independence opens, with a “glittering generality,” which, within the limits intended, was as true in logic as. pretty in rhetoric. This generalization, “all men are born free and equal,” &c., has passed into a plitical proverb, universally cherished in the hearts of the people, because always inter preted with each man’s individual limitations. The mill owner under stands by it that he is entitled to all the rights and privileges of any mill owner, and if he extends the appli cation he extends it upward, to the effect that he is entitled to social, political and personal consideration of a higher grade than be is receiv ing. But it never enters into his head that the mill hands are entitled to anything but such wages as he pays them. He never thinks the mill girls entitled to social equality with his daughters, nor in his heart does he see the propriety of giving the lowest drudge he employs an equal vote with himself upon tariffs and other great questions of a standing Or falling state. The thoughtful man who sees a fool wasting his health and substance in drinking suicidal drams, Can not see the beauty of the maxim that secures him an indefeas ible right “to the pursuit of happi ness” in that way. Evidently be fore the principle can work success fully, or, in other words, before it can be true, men- must all know what the right way to happiness is, and pursue that. Until then the question of rights in the premises is not at all obvious. Indeed, the very Constitution of States, carefully made to protect right, is effectively ft provision to restrain the exuber ant and mistaken use of them. Un fortunately, self-denial, always hard to be practiced when what is in it- self appm'ently good has to beamed to save a principle, is never ticed by a party, and is scarcely pos sible to the multitude. Communi ties blunder in the same way that communities have blundered, and the history xjf states is a chronicle of stages thiflkugh a circle of mis- crimes and conae- “philanthropist” of the ^ very commonly as- Domed by a class who labor to be be- , nevolent without self-denial, and at the expense of others,) a crusade against Southern slavery by preaching the dogma of. universal and absolute equality," making mere manhood the measure of rights in a community of men than mere manhood to take care of, it was ob vious enongh that to guarded principle into and primary rule of action was to open a Pandora box full of germs of coming revolutions. For nothing is more obvious than that society is constructed upon a different princi ple, and that only general destruc tion of our present civilization can make room for the exercise of the in herent equality demanded. When lyceums, and legislatures, and churches, and all possible places for tongue-wav, were resounding with ext reme statements of human wrongs and demands for human rights, it was, of course expected that the ap plication should be made only to the case of the negro. It was never in tended to disturb the pleasant rela tions of right and wrong existing at home. The commission for rights was to sit in the South, and its powers were to be exhausted there. In the philanthropic latitudes no false no tions of liberty were to disturb the comfortable division of profits be tween labor and capital. Not a penny more was to reward “The Song of the Shirt.” No disruption of relations was to be fomented be tween the kitchen and the parlor, and no insurrection of the daughters of Eve was to challenge the headship of the sons of Adam. “The equality of man and his right to himself’ was to do its sharp Work and be return ed to the scabbard. But it was destined to cut many fingers first. The negro is now free, and has ‘ ‘the right” to be happy, if he can, ana with it the l ight to hinder and des troy the happiness ef others, which he is decidedly doing, without ap parently getting much happiness thereby. But the workmen of the North now want to bo righted, too. The Crispins and the tailors and the carpenters, the workers in wood and iron and leather and woolen cloth, the diggers in coal, the gen eral multitude who live by arm and finger, all see glittering before them an ignis fatuus, giving glimpses of Paradise to be entered by the “sessame” of equal rights. What they all want it is hard to say; they do not know themselves, but they want what can not be had. They want society to exist; they want wealth to be accumulated, they want ease and luxury to be enjoyed; but they want all the inevitable condi tions of these things to be disregard e<L They want “rights,” let everbody else be ever so mnch wronged. They want liberty , and do not know that by liberty they mean the destructive despotism of the Parisian Commune, who, as Wehdell Phillips himself ad mits, were fair exponents of the law of rights. So women are clamoring, or some of them—for, thank Heaven, only a few of them are yet infected with the rabies of rights—for some or- try homes to seek their fortunes- in the city. “I shall see what luck will do for me,”8aidonc. “I shall see what labor will do for me,” cried the other. Which is the better to depend up on; luck or labor? Let us see. Luck is always waiting for some thing to turn up. Labor will turn up something. Luck lies abed wishing. Labor jumps up at six o’clock, and with busy pen or ringing hammer lays the foundation of a competence. Luck whines. Labor whistles. Luck relies on Chance. Labor on character. Luck slides down to indolence. Labor strides upward to indepen dence. Which is likely to do most for you, boys? Wouldn’t Run in Debt. A New York paper says that the other day a little soil of a well-known bankingffiocer ill Wall-street lost his purse while coming from Central Fark, and a stranger, seeing his discomfort, paid his railroad fare, three cents. The boy, thanking him said: “If you will tell me your name, I will bring it to yon to-morrow.” “Oh! no,’, said the gentleman, never mind about it. The boy persisted t saying: his fa ther never allowed him to go in debt. “I will not give you my name re plied the gentleman, “but I live at No.—, on street.” The next morning the door-bell was rung at that house, and our little hero told the amused servant his er rand. “Which of the gentlemen is it?” said she; “there are several in the family.” The boy twisted on his heel, and after a momen’t thought said: ‘ ‘Have you a photograph-book in the house?’ She brought it, and turning over its pages, he said, pointing to “That’s the one: Please give these three cents, and tell the boy who borrowed it in the cars yesterday left it to pay his debt.” If that little fellow grows up with the careful principles he has now he will be a man to be trusted. given them wretched hovels in ex change. He has taken away acres and giv en not even a decent burial place in death. He has filled our streets and by ways with violence and lawlessness. He has complicated our laws and crowded our courts. He has filled to overflowing our penitentieries and houses of correc tion. » , J He has peopled with his multitude our poor-houses. He has straitened us for room in insane asylums. He has filled our world with tears and groans, with the poor and help less, with wretchedness and want. He has banished Christ from the heart, and erected a hell within. These are the counts of our indict ment. Let the world judge of the truth. Fletcher Instftute, THOMASVILLE. GA. n REV. J. F. MIXON. A. M„ Fxwcipal. Utin and English Literature. THOMAS F. SHL A.

The editor says ‘ ‘we knew Booth, something like a quarter of a cen tury ago, and if the promises of his boyhood has been kept, it would be exceedingly difficult for any admirer of true manhood to resist the inclina tion to vote for him, no matter what his politics. At the time we knew him, Booth was an open handed, open-minded, trathful boy, with a lofty scorn of everything mean, min gled with a tolerant charity for the weakness of others.” This was doubt- less a strong point injthe content- especially when ms opponent rested under suspicion of being connected with frauds on the State. It shows how careful we should be in the se lection of men to fill important trusts, to see that they have a clean record. King Alcohol. The history of King Alcohol is a history of shame and conniption, of cruelty, crime, rage and ruin. He has taken the glory of health from the cheek, and placed there the reddish hue of the wine ^p. He has taken the lustre from the eye and made it dim and bloodshot.
