" The Next Census. The census of 1S70 will show bat little r in- crease in tho population of New England, while the West has grown so rapidly in the citizen plantiug business as to secure the seat of politi cal power from the East. The Southern States have had their .irrepresentable population in creased by nearly two millions of. colored" men. The number of representatives to which the States are entitled in Congress is 241, and this upon the basis of ouo representative to every 127,000 inhabitants, Tt is now estimated that the census of 1870 will show a population not much short of 40,000,000 of inhabitants. ; With the number of representatives, therefore, at 241, it will increase the ratio of . representation for each representative from 127,000 to 1C1.000 inhabitantsand the power wtth the population.

He might crawl ito one, if that were possible, but the idea of his flf- iu into anjtntng is preposterous. p j Who ever heard of a lazy" man breaking ioto a bank, where a crowbar had to be used, or dril ling into a safe ? Nobody. ; Not that he might not covet a neighbor's goods therein contained but the horror; of handling the crowbar aaia anus wouia always aeter,n:m irom actually canr mitting burglary. He neyeruns away with tiis neighbor's wife,1 simply on account of the horror he has of running. ' If he was ever known to mn it is run to seed. ; i ; ' He rarely lies about his neighbors; for would be too much exertion; but he can lie ajta bar-room all day: lil L He is of inestimable service to a billiard paloon, keeping the chair, warm and watching the ganse: for few would care to play where there are do spectators, i tie fact mat ne does tnis witnoux pay, day in and day out, shows the usefuluess oT his nature. v hat an industrious man, woo con sidershis time worth something, would, want pajf. ior me lazy generally aoes ior noiniug, snowing a freedom from mercenary motives that should go far to his credit. j The lazy man never gets up ! revolutions, ijoV surrcctions, or other popular excitements, at don't make a nuisance of himself by trampiBtg around the country making incendiary speechicX to promote public discontent. ! , In his own neighborhood he is never a busy body in other people's affairs; for the jrery idea of being a busy-body at anything . would j driire him out; for he Wouldn't have th'energy to go out of his owp accord. 1 i No lazy man ever ran mad.

It is easier for one of my profession tof argup the dry principles of Law, than to combat the quick geniusuf woman. I Her criticisms are mores to be feared! than the overrulinas of Judges or the expositions of oppiising counsel ; for in the! one case wejanlj strive to win;' in the Other, .i is our greatest delight to pleasS And besides! your speakerj might oflend if he assumed a didac-f uc stjie or presumea 10 intruae on any ot jtnej progressive ideas of the day so we shall have a, social colloquey this veningj and begin by con gratulattng ourselves that we have so excellent a scnooi ior ine education or. our daugnters a school where both the mind! and the heart are! cultivated! with equal ! care : where manners morality and Intellect are developed and improved; together. ;j It is this k combination which' forms: the true theory of woman's education, ancl upon! wnicnt noi wimouc many misgivings, we propose to venture some observations this evening. For, young Ladies, you may be assured, that though you possess the cultivated genius and splendidi attainments oi JiaaameiJJeotaei, witnout a pure; hedrt and lelevated moral tone it; will soon bring5 reproach to your character, and, like: the mind I of. Mrs. Stowe, delight itself in misreprcsenta-f tiops of ebciet', to foment sectional strife and discord, or in mortifying the living by inventing libels on the jdcad. It will be of little benefit to yourselves orj society that you acquire knowledge oniy to use it; ior evil. :. -i . ;.. It has been the error! of nations as well as in dividuals, to neglect the-moral culture and sacri-f fice the heart on the altar of knowledge and power ; hence we find the most brilliant and famous periods of history to be the most corrupts and savage, j l ne most splendid era oL the iio '. man Kepublip was disgraced by every vice and crimed i Maficis and Sylla, who brought such renown tojits armies turned their soldiers! upon: each other, and destroyed more of their own' citizens thanjthey had slain of the public eneuiyj in battle, j Vhile Cicero was adorning theirj language and! making it immortal with his elo- quence,- Cataine was disgracing their history byj the vilest jtrensoh in the Senate. The agrarian-! ism of their Tribunes contributed; but Htjle less to the downfall of the State than the venality of the Senate, j ,..: '';-:; . j, . !. ' - I , Francejin! 1787, was' the seat of empire and; learning; jsctenceand art flourished in her 'genial clime;) her proud courtiers and majesticj wonien were the adaiiration of the world; it was - the golden age of literature. But France, IneglectJ iug the nioril culture of herllpeople, suffered every calamity and disgrace which co-uld befal a nation. Ilcr- liberty rnn into licentiousness her patriots became Jacobins, arid her populace an infuriated mob, until the streets of Paris were red with the blood of its citizens. The guillo tine spared neither age nor sex ; neither the royal dignity of Autiohette, por the patriotic' ardor and jKepublican zeal ofi Madame 1 Roland were proof against its fury; King and jsubjectj Jacobin aud Oirondits, were alike the victims ofj Faith, and soon foundj in an impure wbman, a- fit subject for a goddess, aud trance became thej prey of nations and the reproach of mankind j cursed of God and despised oflmcn L j f, j In our own beloved land history is beginning to re-enact the same sad scenes , Mankind; never wiser by experience, are treading the same down- ward path toi ruin. Let us louk abroad and view these scenes.! Our Northern brethren hr ast with! just pride of their progress in knowledge and! power : I tlieii Colleges-' by hundreds adorq heir classic groves ;. their school-hqusps dot every hill top and validly their cities and towns are crowd- ed with newspapers and periodicals; their jour-! uals ofj science are full of inventions - in J every art; they: are amassing! incaloulJible wealth and! adorning their homes with all that pleasure can wish orj beauty bestow, and we arc ready to pine over our poverty and murmur at jour misfortunes aud envy this fancied happiness. Let jus ex-j amine if this happiness be real, if this prosperity be permanent, if it be founded on the eterna principles ofjTruth and Justice vj-ith which jalono it can stand the test of time er rjesist the aggres sive spirit of man They have realth it strue but it is used to corrupt their citizens and des troy their integrity, to j form monopolies and opf press the poor ; no branch of their government is lree fron its vile iufluence. Look to their: magnificent capitol. Those splendid domes which once echoed the eloquence of (1 iy and Calhoun are now only responsive to the1 voice of politic cians and demagogues. ; Those proud assemblies which were price moved by the unerring logic of Webster, are now only swayed by selfish interest arid moved by the almighty power of the! ''ljing.'f But'er is the fit representative of their jchiyalry and T haddeus rtevens was their ideal Of statesman In their Religion, the degeneracy is no less striking and fearful. They have abandoned alj that is practical "or saviug in its tenets. The revelations of spiritualists are substituted for the inspirations of the Holy Scripture, and men go to mediums! rather than to: Christ to inquiry 'what they shall do to be saved." The devout Puritan I w ho once burnt witches and made it criminal to j converse with familiar spirits, has now become the desciple of the spirit j rappers and consults his medium as he does his physi cian or his attorney, (as for his Priest, ihe passes him by1 as the teacher of a faith long siuce for gotten.) Jri Boston, under the very shadow of Plymouth rpek, the Triune God is scarcely recog nized.) ilTuitarianism has robbed Christ of his Godhead, and IJniversalism -makes sinj harmless. Fro ni these hot beds of heresy has sprung that last and worst, which j legalises Polygamy and prostitutes he virtue of woman to thel level of the beast. jOh ! God, how long shall mercy stay thine avenging hand from these foul crimes which defy thy power and mock thy Holy name ! Not! onlyj in Government arid ; Religion do vce mark these sure signs of destruction, but in So- ciety We find, the same unnatural 'perversions. -11 1- TT jellies and pastries, they are ready to dose him with emetics or burn hi m with a blister They have tried every profession!. Ladies, except the Law -they are not quite bad enough jfor that yet, ont arc in a sale hne ot; precedents. I 1 once heard of a gentleman who commenced life as a minister; but experience jifs'oon taught him that men cared more for their bodies than their souls, and he left the pulpit for the practice of medi cine, but further observation of human nature induced him to believe that! men cared more for their money thanj cither their bodies or souls, aud he quit his former Jprofessioh for the Law. These Yankee woriien will soon find where their interests, lie, and we will j hive an abundance of votaries,: irom ine sex, in our proiession. j Now, Ladies, how shall we escape these per nicious influences, j which are spreading lice locusts and carpet-baggers' among us ? How shall we preserve the high social Istaudard of the South amidst the political and moral desolation around lis. God and woman are! our onlv hone!

Let the tender affections of the mother twine arou ndher children and Suppoi 1 1 heirJUltering stepSj comforting them in every trouble and soothing them in "every sor row teaching them to suffer rather than to sin. Let bur! public schools be but an enlargement. of our family governments.;! j ; Ihe hearts of these young maidens are as susceptible of. culture as thcir minds arid will suffer fequally from neglect. They have left kind parents to whose., tender sympathies they could appeal in every trouble ; thos who toch them must win 'this confidence by kindness and it will be repaid by afiectioa and obedience. Their kind parents have ob served. their faults with; earnest solicitude and corrected them with gentleness. VThey still need their parental care, and he teacher must! give it. Their' ypung hearts" are-fgeperous enough to apl preciate this interest iri! their welfare and will improve by these timely suggestions and correc tions. Above all, it is the highest duty of the teacher to see that religious instruction is not neglected. It is often .said that a school is not sectarian, and therefore no religious restraint will be placed on the inclinations of -the pupils, but each will be left to her own will in fhest matters! There is no fallacy more fatal than this ; it is moral suicide! to jeommit the mind and body to ' one for instruction and protection and leave the soul to grope jitsjjway in darkness. It is a popular heresy which springs from sectarian bigotry and finds an easy response among those wjip shrink from thej performance of this great duty. This error must be corrected; and while1 we do not advocate the teaching of creeds, wo do insist that in ;eyetyj'schQo:l''the pupils should bo, taught Ul the fundanientai truths of Christianity that they in turn may teach them to others, and then may we expect our women to be what God . i t-r"l',Tl'!-' 1?

They are now moulding into a fixed character which can never, be cast'pffV ;.Sce to it' that, these impressions are correctly; received. The mind of woman is naturally inclined to goodness, owing to the sympa thy' of her nature and the tenderness of her feelings. God has wisely made them 60 for the benefit of his creatures who rcceiye their : first impressions from Ilirii; but this natuj-al .law lis like all others, when brj!;en'and pcr?erted, its consequences are corres potrdingly dangerous and deslructive. Woman, while she) attains to highef fnoral elevation arid purity of character than man may also sink into baser turpi tude than he. ' Man may philosophise, reason, re pent and reform, but woman, the creature of intui tive conclusions, -when'once demoralized, never ceases to follow where impulse leads. - While her virtue and purity win the admijia'ion iof man, nothing is more contemptible to his'eyes than an unworthy woman. Woman; must be adored or despised, j There is no miuaie ground lor her. ir . - -.

It rnayjlhe some selfish man who will not be satisfied unless you give him your hand as , well as your heart, aridl know. Ladies, your gen erous hearts cannot withhold a gift which qonfers such infinite happiness and blessing the only-bless ing that we were permitted to take with-us fronv Eden.

The f llowing circular letter was sent by the Secretary of the Treasury to collectors of cu-" touis at all. the principal ports oftht Uniud States : ' . .

His orders were of the most elaborate character. ' and 'fairly staggered tho resources of even Utica restaurant, keeper, j He lingored long at' the table and Dually wound up with a bottle of wine. Then lighting a cigar he had ordered. leisurely sauntered up lo the counter "and said to the proprietor : ; j ''Very jfine dinner, landlord; just charge It te ' me, I haven't got a cent." ! ! "But I don't know you' said the proprietor,, indignanily. V i ' 'Of course you don't. Ifyou had, you wouldn't let mo have fhe dinner. ; " 'Pay for the dinner, I say !". "And I s;y I cWt. - Haven't got the blunt' "I'll sea about that," said the proprietor, some what furious at the "bill." Then be snatched a revolver out of a drawer and leaped over the counter, collaring the m;inj exclaiming, as he pointed it at his head, ''Now see if you'll get away with that dinner, without paying for it, yom scoundrel." j . "What 'is' that you hold in your; hand?" said the getter away with free dinners, drawing! back., i . j ' "That,' sir, is a revolves, eir. .

Irom a minister of long experience. it was prepared lor a very large class of Christians:. " After j much torturing experience, I come to this that nine in ten of both sexes do not know the value of time, or the morality of a promise. Why is not an agreement to meet at nine o'clock as sacred as any bond ? . ,Why is not tho under- , standing that a church service or lecture com mences at the given hour, an acceptance on your part, if you go, of jan agreement to bo punctual, and why are you not false to it by your tardiness, and why are you not a bad friend because of H the little, miseries your infidelity entails? Tli world, intercourse, affection, gTeat affairs, little details, arc cursed, and prosperity; temper, char acter, life, are jeopardized or lost by want of punctuality. Unpunctual 'people are every where, and. every thing encourages them. It i taken for granted that nothing will bo "on time," and so every body holds off to insure it. The first ten minutes of a religious service are npt to be a martyrdom to preachers and punctual people. There ought to be some contrivance by which the tardy shall be made as uncomfortable as they, and then we might hope for a change. . ' A Mean L!av-. In the year 1770 the Eng lish Parliament enacted that, "Whoever should lead into matrimonial bonds any male subject of her Majesty, by means of rouge or powder, perfumes, essences, artificial teeth, false hair, Spanish cotton, iron corsets,- crinolines, high-heeled! shoes, or falso calves, should be prosecuted for sorcery, and the marriage declared null and void." I . . - I . The Parliament of 1770 was very untmllant: L to say the 'least of it; but if 1870,should witnef-a such an enactment, what a terrible "faljmj; off ' .would take place among the feminine gender. . i mt .
