Political Parties. w
Many honest men have thought that politi
cal parties were an unmixed evil, or that, at
any rate, ihe good they accomplished was an
inadequate set-off to the ills which arose from
them. They have looked upon these parties as
ihe origin and nursery of inveterate differences
in opinion; have seen good measures die an njJ
merited death by these differences; and from
party feeling have knowo social and domestic
iinhappiness to arise. In the view of these
good people (bless "their good old souls!) these
parties are foes mll stability and sovernment ;

From seeming evil still enduces good,"
Government is an inevitable evil, yet an
estimable blessing even in its worst form
world is governed too much; often badly;
no good m in can behold with composure
in -
rhe
but
the
approach of anarchy. Under all governments
on earth, save that of the most benumbing
tyranny, two distinct and contending princi
ples are developed the conservative and the
progressive. Sometin es we see the former de
based to retrogression, and frequently the lat
ter runs to seed in the most outrageous radica
lism. One is the spirit which cries "go ahead!"
- the other, satisfied with what is, trembles
with apprehension of change. And here we
bave the true distinction of parties and poli
tics. Just as nature, education and circum
stances, have cither made a man tool, cautions,
calculating, or, on the other hand, have given
him quick perceptions and warm impulses, he
is either a progressive or a conservative: and
individuals of like mind and feeling, coalescing
form the pernament parties of a country.
Vet one must confess that difficulties cloud
this theory. ild tit Unit srlianee tber noiwur i
make it almost irreconcible with facts.
Every i
body cau see that individuals have changed i
sides; and, apparently, in the history of parties
it has occurred that they have exchanged posi
tions. Still, individual defections being ac
counted for as the result ot temporary or sinis
ter motives, one must believe that the mass of
men teep the path that the genius of their being
dictates. Some have been pleased t call the
people a "fickle multitude," but the imputation
meets the lie on every page of history where
men were free to thinK and act. Nor have par
ties evr forsaken their fundamentals. If we
look closely, we will see that while they may
at intervals have altered their speed or direc
tion, these have been d.one merely as the stout
ship tacks, or takes in sail, or, - anon, anchors.
The partie which arose in England during
James the first's reign, thongh acquiring their
present names at a later date, have still the
same distinctive features; and if we do see brief
periods in their long course when seemingly
they were on wrong sides of the question, we
must bear in mind that what was once a pro
gressive movement may, in time, become a con
servative check. So here we have a "go
ahead" party and a "hold-back" party: each
easily recognisable through the whole reach of
our independent history. The;r more recent
ftames were democratic anil U tug: tlie latter

forever, the Democratic! A it withstand ntr
e aiiamalies easily accnuuteil for it has
er oeeu 111 joe main, me nojieiii!, tile ener-
tic, the chivalrous party. Stirring the su-r-
, inspiritjthe desp.mdiiig', si.imii.- ihhi-
ness, and aV Suig cowardice to a show of
bravely Dejgocracy has been, and is the very
life and soul of America. It hclds to-day the
proudest position it ever occUped. Never in
all the past was there a party iu a country so
grand and yet so temperate iu its success auTl
in its principles.
In addiug-o and two together all men at
tain a like rult. But upon any new political
measure men will diflfor, as all experience shows.
The first is figured upon a slate the second is
werked out upou a nation by generations of
men. Men must differ in opinions just hs their
minds and characters are varied by their sur
roundings. The daring, the sansnine, nririnfj
some untried scheme, sees with almost prophetic
faith iu happy consequences before him The
timid, the cautious, fills his sonl with do.ibts
and dignifies his fears with the name of pru
dence. Neither of these classes of persons are
unreasonable. Hop6 is good and fear is not
an evil. As in the individual, so in masses of
people, these contending emotions balance
forces and work toward the appointments of the
Great Gove'rnof.
As men do not asree, and indeed, cannot, we
may be snre that it is "all for the best," By
contest intellect is brightened and strengthened,
intelligence increased and extended, errors ex-

posed, and new ideas and truths eliminated.
The progressive is checked by the conservative,
and in turn the conservative is spurred. Thejr
"well accorded strife" has made us what we are.
The great and long preponderance of the one
has made proud Spain most pitiful; the sudden
and uncontrollable outburst of the other in the
revolution of '89 made France tha scene of un
paralleled horrors. It seemed to be the ten
dency of conservatism to revert to the wretch
edness of the Dark Ajres of pro.?re.ssiveisin (not
progress) to bound forward to some again re
curring period of fierce and unbelieving barbar
ism. So it we could possibly agree it would
ne either as progressives or conservatives; for
the chances are a million to one against -an
exact and just compromise, auTl then in either

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS.
In some portion.-- of our Stat?, public attention
J seems turned towards the subject of Military
: Schools. Althougli an a Iv.eatc of such mstitu

in the subject. We refer to Agricul.nral School.-,
wiiicii mig'it ! made as fully scieiitiii.; as, nil-1 tar
more a.lva:ingeous to t!ir majority of our you.h,
than Military Schools. There is, however, room,
and there would be pupils, and, for aught we know,
there may be enterprise, sufficient in our State for
the establishment of both. But it' both cannot be
established let us have the Agricultural by all
means.
Ours is pre-eminently an Agricultural country.
For every commissioned ofli.-er iu our army, there
are hundreds, perhaps th uisa.ids, of commanders
over those who struggle with the Mother Earth, to
induce her to yield uL) her products for the susten
ance of mankind, and ig torant commanders they
are, with but very few exceptions, the farmers of
to-day will compare about as favorably with those
of a quarter of a century hence, as the Chinese
Military officers do with the graduates of West i
Point.
While Law and Medicine, and some other scierj
ees, have their colleges and their schools, their t;liasers and every Inicly's cus.oiners to examine
professors and their desciples. Agriculture the ; i,is rare niM l,oautil'uI slock of Crockery and

Early Pi ety The following story is ac-

before seen it iu print.
A few years since; some roguish boys in a
tou " "".t a thousand tudes distant from the Cap

or, as he wns generally called, 'Joe,' to -attend
Sunday school. Joe was ua overgrown, hal:
wittcd, profane lad, and the boys had anticipa
ted considerable In" out of him; but the an
swers to the various questions propounded
were ifiveii so readily aad correctly that uo one
could for a mouie.. suppose . that lie was not
fully versed in theological lore
Joe was duly uslicrcd in, and placed on a
settee in front of the one 011 which his friends
wen; seated, aim me recitation couiineiiccij.

Just as he was probably about to give the
answer, o n- of the boys seated behind inserted
a pin into Ii is ('Joe's) pants, about nine inches
below the ornamental button of his coat.
"(J .id A luii-ihty ! ' answered Joe, in all ele
vated tone, at the same time rising quickly
from his seat.
"That is correct," replied the teacher; "but
it is not necessary that you shonhl rise in an
swering. A sit ting post ure was just as well."
Joe was again seated and the catechism pro
ceeded. - "
"Who died to save the world?"
The pin was again inserted, and Joe rei-vT
"Jesus Christ!" in u still louder voice

as before, fro-n his seat.
. I l hat is also correct, mil ao not manifest
so much feeling; do be more coniKsed and re-

a I exiiostulal itir tone.
After Joe had calmed down, the exanvina-
tion went on .-
"What will the final dobiu of stll wiclred nien?'
was the subject now up for consideration; ami
as the pin was again stuck in, Joe thundered
out, with a hisrlier elevation of his body "Hell
