My hearers! Suffer not the sun to go down upon your wrath.” One of the most perfect ly foolish things in the world, is to quarrel, upon any pretence, provocation, or occasion whatever, especially with skunks, women, lit tle men and oripples. There is no kind of necessity in- it, no nmriher of use in it, and no species of degrees of benefit to he gained by it; and yet, strange as the fact may theologians quarrel, aud politicians lawyers, doctors, and princes quarrel; the Church quarrels, and the State quarrels, na tions and tubes, and corporations, men, wo men, and children, dogs and cats, birds and beasts, quarrel about all manner of occasions. If there is anything ia tiro world that will make a man feel had, except pinching his fin gers in a crack of a door, it is unquestiona bly a quarrel. No man ever fails to think less of himself after than he did before one; it degrades him in Iris own eyes, and in the eyes of others, and what is worse, blunts Iris sensibility to disgrace on one hand, and in creases the power of passionate irritability on the other. The truth is, tire,more quietly and peaceably wo get or. the better; the hotter for ourselves and better for our neighbors.— In nine cases out of ten, the wisest course is, if a man cheats you, quit dealing with him, if he is ahurive, quit his company ; if he slan ders, take Ors to live so that no man will be lieve lim. No matter who he is, or how he misuses Van, tho widest way is just to let i him alone, for there i nothing better than I OUR COrjfTUT’S GOOD 19 OCRS.- this cool, calm, quiet way of dealing with the wrongs we meet with. French Imperialism. Whatever may be the calibre of Louis Na- , polcon’s intellect, be appears, at least, to un- i t derstand the ‘(maraCtar of his countrymen. — Each one of the heterogeneous political par ties into which French society is divided, seems to regard him either as a positive good or as a necessary evil. The inip.erialis.ts rev erence him as the representative of 1 is impe rial uncle; the republicans, disappointed and dispirited, see no chance of a change for the better, anti prefer the rule of a parvenu to a more aristocratic despotism; the socialists are flattered into silence, if not into complacency, by the half-faced encouragmvnt given by Louis'Napoleon to some of their doctrines j and demagogues; while the Bourbonists, pow- 1 ci loss for the present’ regard him as a conve nient warming-pan for legitimacy. A concatenation of extraordinary circum stances has contributed quite as much as the I force of his own character to give Louis Na- i poleon his present influence and position.— j He will owe the imperial crown more to the I mutual repulsion of parties than to any cor dial desire on the part of the French penile to have him for their monad:. He is con- ‘ sidered by the majority the least of several ! evils—nothing more. Wealth, commerce, and intellgent labor prefer the empire to revo lution—which, in France, is only another name for ruin. Perhaps they are right. If 113 noitcT inr to hear the* ills we Have, Thun fly to others that \w know not of,” it is certainly a stronger proof of \i isdonn to bear'existing grievances than to enrii ace a worse alternative, . the horrors of w hich we know by- experience. it seems innrvt Ileus to many of r.s that a great and eitiightcnod nation should stultify itself by adopting t ; io most despotic form of ntouaichy so soon after tho inauguration of a ; republic, to est blish which it had dethroned , a very decent specimen of a king.

Since the last monthly statement, the do. posits in the various sub-treasuries hare risen to $20,121,G00, but last week they bad de clined again to $10,701,701. The Laisscs Faire economists say this is a very good thing. They think the coin of the country is in very safe and respectable keeping when locked up in the strong boxes of the tr easury. But on the other hand the financiers of the regulation school say this twenty millions of coin ought to be scattered among the people and the banks for the good of trade and gene ral convenience. According to a New York writer 011 money affairs, the banks of the Uin fill now hold about 60,000,000 in gold and silver. If this government money were put into those institutions, they would be able to extend their bonus and discounts, and make considerable additions to their circulation, equivalent to one-third of til) accommodations of that elmrarter now resting upon a specie basis. But would this result he beneficial?

Rouen, Uonen! must thou lie* my last j abode!” The cardinal of Winchester, the i Bishop of Teravanne, chancellor of France, i the bishop of Peanvois, and the other judges were seated upon the scaffold, waiting the arrival of Joan of Arc. When she appeared she* was heavily fettered,*and, as she mount ed the scaffold, her face appeared bathed in tears.

Joan turned round to the bishop of Beauvais, J .and extending Iter fettered hand towards him, f “ 1 o it.” she exclaimed, “are the cause of my death ; you promised to restore me to the ! church, and you have delivered me up to nty j enemies!” Joan then knelt down, and im plored the mercy of the supreme Being. She called upon the ecclesiastics and all around her, solemnly to assist in Her prayers. Nor, j ’ though her list moments were attended with < iremnstairces peculi.iily awful, was her un grateful sOvert ign forgotten.

Bontwell will attend the funeral. The Webster Executive Committee anti Ward Delegates were in session last evening till midnight. A letter was read from J. B. Wheelock, of Roxbury, for himself and other Webster men of that city, recommending tho party to continue their organization for future action, but that in consequence of the disease of .Mr. Webster they discontinued further po litical action during the present campaign. A Delegate front Cambridge stated that tho sentiment of the people of Cambridge was ex pressed in the letter of W lieelock. Rev. Mr. Winslow advocated the same course of action, recommending the Webster Electoral Ticket be withdrawn, and that his friends, upon the day of election, stay at home, and consecrate the day as one ot mourning for the national loss. These views were opposed by Messrs. M in. Hayden, Talitian, AY illy, and ethers.
