The Kinderhook Rough Notes gets off the following juke about Job: “It is supposed by many unthinking persons who read the Scripture in the same careless manner they run through a newspa per—taking everything they read in a literal sense—that old Job was actually afflicted with biles, or eruptive sores. Now to the casual reader this deduction is plain enough; but when his occupation is taken into consideration, a very different conclusion will be arrived at. Job, it will be recollected, was a printer—or, v, hat i.s about the same thing, he wished Jiis ‘words were printed in a book;’ and these boils were nothing more than his non-paying subscribers, the thought of whose deliuquincies were realy a plague to him whenever a bill for paper, or other material, came in, as these subscriptions were depended upon to realize the amount due. Yet they merely proved the evidence of things hoped for, but the substance of things not seen. Then, .these ‘comforts’ that surro.m :-d him — they were his creditors, whose continual .cawing for pay was enough to make a ■man, even with his reputed patience, to feel sore all over, as well as mean enough to creep into an ash-heap, and scratch himself with a pot hook or clam-shell, byway of working off the extra ‘bile.’ That's what the matter was with Job. We can sympathise with him, for we are.often placed in the same iix, and have even got such e. ‘spell’ on now.—Nothing but a few ‘greenbacks’ will remove it.” JEF’The people of this country trusted their national affairs in the hands of Democrats and”couservafiye men for more than eighty years. The country grew in prosperity, influence, and power. We came a great nation. The world amazed at our progress, looked on with fear and envy. All this time there had been whispering in the popular ear, a paity of radicals, “reformers,” saying “trust your affairs in our hands and your prosperity shall increase ten-fold.” At last the people turned from their old and tried friends embraced the “reformers,” and placed their destiny in their hands. Scarcely one year had the new found “friends and protectors of the people’s rights,” been in office till they betrayed the trust, and in . three short years have so ruined the country that a century of prudence and statesmanship, if‘we are ever so lucky as ! ' ’ tret an opportunity to exercise it, can-; dace us where we stood when the ust w as first placed in the hands of our j : mies. There is a dear lesson in this | wt, which we hope to see our people, profit, by.—Fort W ayne Sentinel. 4aT“Tbo Lady’s Friend,” is the title ■ ofa new Magazine, the second number of which is on our table.

w FREEDOM IN ABEYANCE. We have endeavored to warn the people against the popular delusion, that they could temporarily put aside their liberties and returns them at their option. The following, from the pen of the editor of the London Examiner, a paper which has Supported and still supports the cause of the North, in a tierce and pointed illustration ol this truth: We have never concurred in the opinion that the institutions of America have been found wanting on this trial. The fault has not been with them, but with the people who, for vain glory, have given up their liberties. Had they lived under a monarchy .they would have done the same, and would have made their sovereign absolute as the'Czar whom they so much admire and extol. It is their vice to love greatness more than liberty, to be vain of extensive territory instead of personal rights; hence their light surrender ot all their best securities for freedom. Let us nut be told they will resume their guarantees when the occasion has passed away. As well might it be said that a woman would resume her chastity after a surrender. A nation which has consented to live without its liberties has prepared itself too well for the loss of them. It has foregone the habit of virtue. Dr. Roback’s Constituents. We learn that the distinguished and popular inventor of those famous Scandinavian Remedies ’.he Blood Pills and Blood Purifier, advertised in our business columns receives nearly as manv letters by cverv mail as the Treasury Department. The average is more than 200 per day! His patients scattered over the broad West the Southern States and New England are said to reach the enormous and almost incredible aggregate of 100,0001 By his patients we mean those who use his preparations as their only medicines We persume that such a connection is without a parallel in Medical history.
