The origin of the vain abh little pieces

of Organic or Vegetable matter,
or that they, have been condensed from a

philosopher a few yeara-ago sbjowed that
the fine dust deposited on platinum l rom
a charcoal pole was sufficiently hard to
be used for the same purposes as diamond

there is no doubt of the great value and
utility of-the diamond, as, apart from its
extensive employment in jewelry, it is
largely, used in mechanical appliances of

for a pony-rider on duty. He rode fifty
miles without stopping, by . daylight,
moonlight, or through the blackness of
aarRness, just as u nappeuea. -- ? .
He rode a splendid horse that was born
for -a-racer, and fed and lodged like fa
gentleman '; kept him at bis utmost speed
for ten miles, and then, as he came crash
in ar un to the station, two men Stood
holding a faSty fresh horse ; the transfer
of the rider and mail-bags was made in
the twinkling of. an eye, and away Hew
the eager pair, and .were out of sight
before the spectators oeuld get hardly; a
ghost of a look.. Both rider and horse
"went flying."- The rider's dress was
thin, and fitted close ; he were a rounda
bout and skull-cap, and tucked his-pants
in hia boots like a race-rider. He carried
no arms he carried nothing' that was
not absolutely necessary; for even the
postage , on his literary freight was only
two dollars an ounce. He got little frlvi
olous correspondence to carry ; his bag
had business letters in it mostly. His
horse was stripped of all unnecessary
weieht. too : he wore a little wafer of a
riding saddle, and no visible blanket ; he
wore light shoes, or none at all : the little
flat mail-pockets,-strapped under the ri
der's thighs, would each hold about the
bulk- oi a cbud's primer.
They held many and many an Import
ant business chapter and newspaper let

airy-ana as thin as goia-iear,ueariy, ana
thus bulk and weight were economized.

and so we beard -only a whiz and a hail,
and the swift phantom of the' desert was

withal one of the most eminently amiable

amoky-.chimneys or toothache but he
was,to,tranquuly- selt-satisnea jo find

travelled from house to house, as unconsciously-
obtrusive, and '.unintentionally

This mollusk started in-life as a ped
dler of. salve, and. descended, by easy
gradations, - through the stove-damper,
window catch, washing fluid and stencil
plate -eras that dlvercify the downward
career of most itinerant venders. Those
pursuits were doubtless '.eminently -calculated
to bring his literary taste, to a
high state of cultivation ; but unhappily
he had quite neglected to profit by his
opportunities. His utter and contented
ignorance of literature naturally sug
gested the . splendid possibilities that
awaited him in the book trade; so when
he found.the stencil business too bewil
dering to his intellect, he calmly and con
fidently dropped . into book canvassing.
He was not a first-rate judge of authors,
and ' his ' literary discrimination seldom
strayed beyond the pictHre, and binding
without being ingloriously swamped. .
A flavor ot the old salve and washing
fluid was always perceptible in his dis
cussion of books and authors. I used to
experience a melancholy pleasure in per
suading nun to aescant on tne merits of
Shakespeare's Black Crook, or Munchau
sen's Dictionary, or JJicKens on Log
arithms, or It. W. Emerson's Nursery
Tales. . He could expatiate on those
works, or any others that I recklessly
suggested, just as tuciaiy ana aeiightfully
as he- could on those for '-which, he was
canvassing; more so, indeed, for he felt
more Mancy rree" wnen mere were no
books around. .. r,- ' j
I suppose it was his invincible and re
morseless assiduity that enabled him to
--. . f. . .- ;
subdue bis victims. . He. had a way of
pouring nimseit out, in a ceaseless wish
wash of prepared platitudes and conned
twaddle, . capable, I -.verily . believe, of
wearying" a bronze . statue of William
Pitt into the purchase of Abbott's Napoleon.-.
And the more summer ft -took,
the better he liked to fight it out on that
line.' I once tried to baffle him by pas
sive endurance,-but iri the 'sixth hour 'of
his -oration his enjoyment of its "Super
human eloquence had become so keen
that I had to subscribe for an extra copy
before he- would- consent to' stop. ' That
ignominious failure of the Fabian policy
sealed my doom. I' never recovered an
atom ot Confidence in my anility to stem
the tide of his tireless loquacity,- and
thereafter, he saw in me only a reliable
market for subscription literature., jJt.

But there :-are other-wonddainflieted
by war, especially .civil war, that 'seem
to be past all surgery. War is not only
the destroyer of lite and property but the
most demoralizing of all agencies.. Our
four years of strife? have entailed .upon
the whole country a host. of moral evils
that '-it will 'take whole !gencranons"to
eradicate. We saved the nation's " life,
but at an expense which all the; -wealth
of the world cannot compensate, . Look
at the columns of an ehterprislng'dally
naper, and-you shall find a large space
devoted, to the horrid and sickening de
tails of some . fearful and unnatural
crime. "We ' do not mean to 'say that
there-was no crime before the" war, but
that. Its demoralizing influence rhas in
creased the number and intensified the
character ol these bloody deeds. Human
nature Shi-inks' .from rthe: eontemplation
of such internal acts as were before, un

Dery has Deen the 'influence or the -war
upon the1 moral "sense of the--.whole
nation. Embezzlement, swindling, pec
ulation .and defalcation in plain lan
guage stealing have: become the 6om-r
mon crimes of the -day.- ' In- 'every-'de-partment.of
Uio government, and among
all grades of .'ofliuiais, the.- spirit of - ras
calitv seems contas-ious and ram Dan t.
The little rogues who steal by hundreds
or thousands, are caught and punished,
while the full-grown scoundrels, who
suck the nation's life-blood to "the time
of millions, flaunt their stolen glories in
all public . places, defy , scrutiny, baffle
investigation, bully the.govcrnment, and
finally go "unwhipped of justice.'.'
By what moral surgery shall these
terrible wounds be healed ? - The healing
process must commence just where. the
wound was first inflicted. The presence
of war and fraternal strife impaired the
moral sense ot individuals,' loosened the
bonds of moral responsibility, destroyed
the sanctity of, oaths, and undermined
the foundations of personal integrity.
This mischief can only-be ' repaired by
the work of at -least one generation.
Parents, especially mothers, with all
faithful teachers and preachers, as well
as all moral agencies that can be brought
to bear, must be in action for half a cen
tury to undo the evil caused by two or
three years of strife. St. Louis Journal
