l Ocean-and where the .Deautlfub OeIDgSs

 which here pass before us like visions, will

 stay in our presence forever. Bright crea- lure of my dreams in what realm shall I

 see thee again ! Even now thy lost image

 is sometimes with me. In the mysterious

 silence of midnight, when the streams are

 glowing with the light of the many stars,

 that image comes floating upon the beam,

 that fingers around my pillow, and stands

 before me in its pale, dim loveliness, till

 its own quiet spirit sinks like q spell from

 heaven upon my thoughts, and the grief of

 years is turned to dreams of blessedness and

 peace.

 INEQUALITY OF PROPERTY.

 The evils arising from an excessively un-

 equal distribution of property, are no doubt

 much greater in England, and all old coun-

 tries, than in our own; yet here, we appre-

 hend they are sufficiently serious, and are

 becoming more so with sufficient rapidity,

 to call for the attention of the enlightened

 and virtuous phianthropist. Wealthis nc

 farther useful, and therefore, in reality, no

 farther desirable, than it is subseryient to

 human support, Improvement and happl-, ] ness. Now whether this grand and only true end of wealth is best secured by a nearly equal distribution, or by an accu- mutation of 1t in the hands of few indi- viduals, while it is withdrawn almost en. tIrely from the great mass of the commu- nifty, is a question which admits not of doubt. In the hands of few, it manifest- ly cannot bo made to minister so readily and effectually to the welfare of the many as when more equally difflsed. The rich may compass their own ends, they may build up themselves and intrench their fam ther they will so employ their wealth as tn the highest degree to benefit the community. is a somewhat more questionable affair. Ac- emulation of wealth is, of course, accumu- lation of power, either for good OF for evil; and, if carried beyond a certain limit, its

 tendencies, are, in various respects, oligar-

 chal and injurious. The man of millions

 may always oppress his neighbors and however disposed he may be to benevo- lence, he can rarely, if ever, diAuse a. broad so much happiness by his bounty, as would bo enjoyed in the same circle under a more equal division of property. We ad- init, that some degree of inequality is nc- cessary nor is it easy to fix that limit.--- .,';,.,,.;. .',,..

 But, if it rears its craggy summit to such an inaccessible and drowning height as to overshadow all tho country around, and especially if it may be the "nurse ot storms" and the manufactory of volcanic fire, what can we look for around its base but either a barren unpcopled solitude; or perpetual trembling among the miscra- ble beings who contrive to maintain there

 poor and precarious existence!

 Excessive individual wealth, injurious

 every where, is peculiarly hostile to free

 government. It leads to a concentration

 of influence, even where there is no posi-

 tive corruption; and enables the few to

 lord it over tho many. notwithstanding the

 endowment of equal theoretical privileges.

 It touches the springs which move the whole machinery of the state. In various ways it may often control elections, laws; and through laws, the entire condition ot } the people. This subject, therefore, is . ono of deep interest in political morality. ! It is true, that a general dissemination or knOWIeOg0 ana VHtuOuS p"S'P'SS 'S" strongly to cheek and restrain the power ot nceniratcd wealth, so that universal ed- } Dcation must be insisted on, as the great remedy of its evils. Nevertheless, educa- ton, however perfect and complete, will never prove remedy altogether effectuai. ! till i; shall secure, to some extent. an e.

 At all events, the subject deserves q more y general and careful consideration than It C has yet received. not only from political G. = economists, but also, and more especially, d fro1s the community aa large.--CAr.
