FrJm the day when the mother ol our race, with indiscre • tion, ate the forbidden fruit, then by consig ting her unfortunate family to disgrace and ruin, down to the pres ent moment all mankind have been be set by follies, to a greater or less ex tent; 1 J<? hot propose to trace the hisfo-. ry of tu;m from the beginning, *to point out the erring course of the Pa triarchs, nor the follies of the remote I shall not discuss the eccen tricities of the early Empires, the va garies of Athenian disputants, nor the heroic folly or’ notorious lloma s. I shall sitnj ly touch with great brevity, and somewhat at sundom, upon some of the most palpable follies of the present age. I will remark in the outset that no one is exempt from folly. There nev er was blit One, and lie were only the semblance of a man, in whom there was “no variableness, n r shadow Os turning.” There is not an oak of thought so fresh and vigorous, but has its parasi'ic lichens or mistletoe, there is not a mountain of mind so lofty and grand, but hears its ratio of stunted vegetation ; nor is there tm ocean of soul so profound in its depths, but contains its crawling crabs and hideous reptiles. Many of the follies of the present age have been transmitted to us from preceding generations, bet a larger proportion of them have sprung from the nature of the times. It is a curi ous fact in history, that the more en lightened a nation becomes the great* eratrd more numerous ar its follies. Prominent among the weaknesses of the present day is that of egotism. This is Dot confined to any one class of people, it pervades all ranks, in all na tions. . Every man, woman and child is in a greater or less degree an erro tist. Little children think nobody else s plaything **o no pictiyj or i\a nice as their own. The belle thinks nobody’s face, or form, or wardrobe so fascinating, or becoming as her own. The dashing beau considers his the glossiest hair, the finest moustache, the most superb instep The mother thinks hers are the prettiest children and the fund father imagines there is more of beauty iu the face of his wife, and more of genius on the brow of his hoy than any other man dare aspire to. All this because these pc,, etiliar attributes, or persons, are res° pcctively the individual property of the owners. This is the case when egotism in its more concentrated fofm has not taken possession of the mind. There are some who consider them selves too good, or too refined for any wife, husband or children, and such persons wo sec expecting the whole community to bow down and acknowl edge their supremacy. The politi. cian on his canvassing tour, savs—in effect —to his constituents, “ah well, those other men might do as a dernier resort, hut 1 am the man you want, no other fr.an can fill the place as well as I.” The military commander thinks no other officer’s plans and combiua’ tions are equal to his cwn. If he oses a battle General , a sub ordinate, caused it, if that subordi nate wins the day for hiui, he ap.. jlauds his own foresight in selecting the best officer for that particular po* sition, and if another army in the same cause is defeated, lie gravely re*’ marks to his staff of parasites, “I ought to lave been there.’’ The pedagogue considers bis sys* tern of teaching the best, and wifi not Ae convinced of the contrary ; and tlio ndnlotor, ho man wllO abot’C all others ought to be free from this fol ly, congratulates himself on the eflect of a sermon, and chuckles over the thought of drawing larger congrega’ tions than any other preacher. Interwoven with this is vanity, which is inseparable from, hut is gen erally more apparent than the other. — Indeed “all, all is vanity.” When we see a man affecting humility, and pro> claiming his freedom from the folly of vanity, no matter if he is dfessed in the plainest garb, and is perfectly simple in every attribute of his char* acter, he is still vain, vain of hia mility. It is surprising to what an exten people will go to gratify this weakness. Those of limited means exceeding their income to dress equal to their wealthier neighbois, nay more, I have even known of cases, and that lately, where families actual!}’ stinted them selves in food, that they might keep up a fashionable exterior. I verily be lieve people would cut off the ends of their noses if it were fashionable to to do so. Human conduct suetantiates this opinion. How many thousands of ladies have died from consumption, caused from tight lacing, and how ! many feet have been disfigured and crippled by wearing fashionable boots and shoes.’ Arc these less injurious •or do they cause less pain than cutting off the nose ? Young lady I don’t expect you to he materially benefitted by these remarks. I know you will send down as soon a you hllich this article, and run vour father in debt'for cite of those abomi nable scull caps with brass flowers, ini. properly called hats, or get the hair dresser to arrange your tresses, others wise beautiful because natural, to re semble a peafowls tail on a rainy day monrhing season. And you, young man, it yoti can confine your flighty mind long enough to read a column will immediately write for a bottle of “whiskerando,” and send word to your tailor to put an extra width in youi‘ pautloons legs, that you may lead tire town, remarking the while “ah, well, yes, Itrq. Vor., is ri_lit 1 suppose, but a man had as well be'dead as out of the fashion.” I lave you ever thought of the Leas* ou why fashions are so outrageous ? It is because the vanity of each one prompts him or her to try to he more fashionable than all the rest, so that a style which might have been elegant at first, beeoc.cs horrid before it is out two weeks, A single, sober thought on the part of the most frivolous mind will convince it that vanity is one of the chief follies of the age. O We now come’ to selfishness, the legi timate offspring .of the two already named. One or hotli of the others may exist without the last, but selfish •ness cannot exist without the other two. It is a most detestable folly, and I’d rather plead guilty to all other ful l.es combined, than to be imbued vith tliis one. It makes itself apparent in an infinite variety of shapes, and in Hone of them is it attractive. The sordid miser, tlie greedy gambler, tho drunken sot, the’ damnable seducer, and too often the red handed murder er piocure their names by the develop, meet of this folly of follies. It.seems to be imuorentin the depraved nature of man, but in tile present age it has progressed to an unprecedented extent. Why this “greed for gain,” this inter minable race for fortune and position? Ambition is but another, a more re spectable name for the folly of selfish ness. \\ here are the true statesmen and pure patriots of by gone years ? Ask the clouds, the winds, the waves \ echo answers where ?” These arc the days ol wire.working deniagogism and all because the hearts of men have Dccomc ;*o ‘thoroughly impregnated with selfishness. Why the very chil dren themselves are carried away by it. 1 heard not long ago of a little boy who was weeping at the funeral of a relative, one of his'playmates came in and began to weep in sympathy, jK’hen the bereaved one turned to him with dried eyes, and remarked : “You need’t be crying, its none of your fu neral.” Selfishness has broken the family circle, has sapped the founda. tion of society, overturned the fabrics of government, and yet amid all this wrock and desolation are heard the shrill ut scheming politicians, “give me office, I am the man, I will have position.” Another great fully of the age is fault'fiuding. Nobody is satisfied with the deeds of anybody else. Every body does wrong, and every body else is to be the judge and pass sentence. Here I may eypect a crash about my own cars, but if you quart el with me for telling you the truth, though I may he guilty myself, you only illus trate the truth of tny proposition. Another prevalent folly is that of I hobbyisiu.” Every person has a hob by. The fa rmcr his peculiar mode of planting’or cultivating, the merchant his extraordinarily convenient prices, the lawyer his particular style of “browbeating’’ witnesses, the politi cian his sacred “platform’’ aud the preacher his unauthorised sanctimony. And all these they insist upon ham mering into the ears of everybody else, who retaliate by sponting their own idiosyncrasies. These are a few of the follies of the age. It would require pages to illustrate all the subordinate ones which spring from these, “their name is legion,” but we may safely arrive at this conclusion all follies, of whatever may be traced back to the first two. How important then that wc shouL strive to eradicate the root, that the branches may wither ana die. Now my good reader your humble mentor docs not profess to be exempt from these, nor any of them. All men are alike frail and inconsistent The only difference between you and me is, I have been thinkiflg on these things, and you haveufc. INQ. VER. Execution of Hirz. Washington, Nov. 10. —Captain Wirz was hung between JO and 11 this morning* On the gaih.ws he <le. elated his innocence, lie hied with-* out exhibiting any symptoms of fear.

Those on the platform retired to the railing, leaving the doomed man in the centre of the s’tiucture.

The rebellion raged with fury in St. Thomas in the early unprecedented outrage committed up on lives and property there. The vol unteers sent to the insurectionary dis tricts were only partially successful in repulsing the insurgents. New \ ork, NoV.
