Itis now contented that ae the grent fdeas and veeds of our Revolution have passed by we need not expect to have the great men which those tines enjoved; but if these words be true, what a palnful fact they reveal! That society is an intermittent spring that sends forth good only at long fntervals, and that mankind cat find no inaptention unless In some bioody revolution! The real truth {s that 4 revolution, the founding of new States, should be only ane of the external expresstonsof the saul and not a consuming of all its energics. Society sould be able to turn from war to peace without eiuptying ita heart of any living enthusiasm, We know hideed that the waters of the lakes and sens are Kept aweeler. by storms, aud thus that troublous thes bave prodmced great brains: and souls, but this also should by truc: that all times should be stormy, all the waters of carth should be sulllciently storm-tossed.

Words of Comfort to the Afflicted of the Year. The Glorions Company Around the Throne--Dise contse by the Rev. HT. miller, INDIVIDUAL POWER. PROF. SWING AT THE CENTRAL CHURCH. Prof. David Swing preached to the Central Church at MeVicker's Theatre yesterday morn- Ing, taking as his text; Jenua returned In the power of tho apirit info Galilee, —Luke, at, 14, ‘The sermon was as folluws: ‘The ancients wero not far wrong when they Imagined that there was in each man a spirit whith ted him to and fro in the world of action. It had long been perceived that there was some inner power that was wont to urge the tnilivid- ual onward, and, a8 all powers were Imagined to he persons, thera was thought to be some per- ronality attending man, to be an Impulse and qulde of the hour. This mysterious companton was sometimes designated aso guardian angel, sometines 28 a daimon, sometimes as a deity. This idea of a helping person was at last expressed broadly by tho word splrit. Often a Corgetfutness of this off belief has made the translators of the Bible use the idea of Holy Spirit where the writer thought only of thav agency which Socrates called hls daimon, or which a sacred writer calls "thelr angels — “thefr angels always behold tha fuco of God.'! When a person was sulfering from some mys- terlous dieease he was deemed possessed of some foreign bad spirit which had taken up Ite abode inthe other being's house of clay and was abusing the tenant, In ali this irregular mase of belief and fancy there Jay thia truth: that there ts in each mortal a spirit, an individual {mpulee, which leads hin ordrives him upand down in tho world. What error thers was in the belict which was held by Sucrates, or 8t. John, or Mark, or Paul, must hava been only in the shape wilich they gave to this {nner {mpulse. They organized it into a distinct person and called It daimen, or guardian angel, or spirit; wherens our times have abandoned the notfon of a separate Wiowertan and have made this splrit a part of the inind itself. The aplrit, which aldet a Washington, or a Colum- bus, or a Frinee of Orange, was not any angel coming from without, but it was the ain of Washington himeci{ or Columbus himself. We thus retain all that old mysterious influence which held the classic and heathen wyrld tn its spell but we have made ita partof man. As it wafonee thought that discaso was projected. Spin the body by soine outside fiend, us a nad Hercules shot arrows at lla children. butas now: disease Ip known to spring up within, amid the jluids and Ussucs of the body, so now the mind is not the yletim of itinerant nymphs, and genil, and daimons, but is fail of selfmotion, towns. the house in which it resides, and no longer believes In the classic and heathen alternate or joint. occupation, It was the genius of Bhakspeare atone that wrote the plays; it was Watt fimself thot dreamed out the engine; that. ‘being geting, and thinking, and dying so strangely in Athens waa just ono goul—Socrates. All history discloses the [act that there are fmmeuse powers in the himun bosom, powers Bo great umd unaccountable that an explanation of them has been sought ju the realins of tho supernatural, a8 though humanity were too weak to account for such potency. And thie Is our theine for to-lay tat all noble souls bave a divine energy within. Christ and Paul and ull the long live of worthies form one unbroken proof that man in bis high estate basa spirit within that may be bis guardian angel at all hours. In tho passages read as texts of remark you behold Christ growing in spirit andl sighlag in spirit, and you inark how Paul was fost In a deep anxiety on behalf of his fellow-men, even the hitherto ufloved gentile world, and these two acenesitre only two pictures from a long gallery of such spiritual representations, Aréason for this discourse may by found tn the need we all bave that some voles or argue Ment hold us up that the world may not. ave ehupty, and Chae all its great works and rewards May ot seem to be far lar'before it. 1 teas 0 eloquer yist and historian that cire cumstances Ineo contains within It the power to injure Hany. sifted persons, and even Whole generations.
