ignominy and obloquy, many of the heads we deem heroic; while the true fame and the perdurable glories will be gathered around the creators and dif. fusers of happiness."-Deontology.

OPINION OF THOMAS CARLYLE.-"The better minds of all countries, begin to understand each other, and, which follows naturally, to love each other and help each other, by whom ultimately all countries in all their proceedings are governed.

"Late in man's history, yet clearly, at length, it becomes manifest to the dullest, that mind is stronger than matter-that mind is the creator and sha. per of matter that not brute force, but only persuasion and faith, is the King of this world. The true poet, who is but an inspired thinker, is still an Or. pheus, whose lyre tames the savage beasts, and evokes the dead rocks of fash. ion themselves into palaces and stately inhabited cities. It has been said and may be repeated, that literature is fast becoming all in all to us-oer Church, our Senate, our whole social constitution. The true pope of Chris tendom is not that feeble old man in Rome, nor is its autocrat, the Napoleon, the Nicholas, with its half million even of obedient bayonets; such autocrat is himself but a more cunningly-devised bayonet and military engine in the hands of a mightier than he. The true autocrat, or Pope, is that man, the real or seeming wisest of the last age, crowned with death; who finds his hierarchy of gifted authors, his clergy of assiduous journalists; whose decre tals, written, not on parchment, but on the living souls of men, it were ann version of the laws of nature to disobey. In these times of ours, all intellect has fused itself into literature; literature-printed thought, is the wonder. bearing chaos, in which mind after mind casts forth its opinion, its feeling, to be molten into the general mass, and to be worked there; interest after in terest is engulfed in it, or embarked in it; higher, higher it rises round all the edifices of existence; they must all be molten into it, and anew bodied forth from it, or stand unconsumed among its fiery surges. Woe to him whose edifice is not built of true asbest, and on the everlasting rock, but on the false sand and the drift wood of accident, and the paper and parchment of antiquated habit! For the power or powers exist not on earth, that can say to that sea-roll back, or bid its proud waves be still."
