Thus 1 live—-this is my creed.
Ha rsh condeiniiing, fierce contenining,

Man is man, we are all brothei's,
Black or white, or red or brown.
Man is man througli all gradations,
Little reeks it where he stands,
How divided into nalioiis,
Scattered over many lands;
Man is man by form and features,
Man by vice and virtue." too,
Man in all one coiinnoii nature
Speaks and binds us brothers true.

DREADI.
In the investigation of the philosophy of
dreaniing, a preliminary question is always
stai'led, and that is, whether the mind l/ti’/I./iI.s'
(bf'lL‘i(l-LI/S. Pliilo.~,ophcrs have not been ilg'l'(*!(_§(l
upon this subject. Locke took strong ground
against the principle, and Dr. Dwight, be-
fore his classes, equally strong ground in its
favor, in which view he has been joined by
many investigators since his period. They
support their opinion by the assertion that ll
inust be so from the very nature. of the mind
itself We know nothing, they say, of mind
e..\'c.i--pt by its properties, in the some manner
as we know nothing of matter except by its
pi'opei'lics. Now as \ve cannot conceive of
iii.-ntcr but as possessing extension, so we
ciiiinot conceive of mind but as possessing
ilionglit. But this argument, we think, is
bi-ggiiig the question. The very topic in
dispute is, “ is it the iialure of mind Ul\\‘tl_§'S
to possess thought.” \Ve cannot conceive of
mind but as capable of exercising thought,
but that “- lliougiit,” or the power of thinking,
is the very essence orsubtraium of the. mind,
is another point.——Tliought is the a.l(iou. of
the mind not its essence. Thi-question then
l)l.‘L'OITlBS one of mere fact, and is to be settled
as all other matters of fact are, by testimony.
lf. then, Locke asserts that his mind does not
act always, this is only a single testimony on
one side, and if Dr. Dwight makes the doc-
laration that his mind does always think, he
is a single witness on the other side; and it
all serves to show that it is a point which
can be neither proved not disprov'ed.
Mr. Locke says, in support of his theory,
that the dreainli--ss slcep wliicli all men ex
pcrience at times, is a proof ihat the mind is
lorpid as well as the body. He inslancesin-
dividuiils who have lived to be nearly thirty
years of age without. dreaming. On the
other hand, his opponents say that the nint-
lcred words and‘ niovcincnts of the body,
during sound slccp, wliich are never rc-
inciiibcrcd by the slci-ipci', are proofs that his
mind is active, though his inc-niory may not
have retained that action.
For our own part, we cannot fcel that the
mind is always active in sound sleep, for
several rea;-‘ons. One is, that ilsceins snaiigc,
if the soul has been employed, that the m(-‘m-
my, in a moment afterward, should not by
its most slreuous L'fll)l‘lS, be able to bring
back the slightest tiaccs of that action. If
the soul be uwakc, it rnusl be conscious of
that activity, it cannot, in that waki-ful con-
dision, have so far lost its capacity as not to
bv able to recall some vestiges of its condition.
Another, is, that in such moments of lorpcr,
there is no a[)pl‘€Cii1l.l0l’) of time Our no-
tions of time result from the succession of
our ideas. In our actual waking hours, the
slowness or rapidity of that succession is all
the estimate that we can form of time. If,
ilicrefore, no conception of time has existed,
there has been'no succession of ideas, and
therefore no thought. Again, we would en-
quire, under the theory of the mind’s con-
stant activity, why there is no memory of
action, no knowledge of succession, and no
consciousness even of existence, when the
boily has fainted. We think thou upon the
whole, that we may safely conclude, so far
as we can approximate to the truth, that the
soul does not, during its connection with the
body, always exercise its capacities.

A Reznarkaialc Dog St'oi‘y-
A wiiler in the N. Y. Ex-'c'i’iiug Post,
relates the following almost incredible in-
stance of the intelligence and atfcclioii of a
dog:
l passed a day and ltl_f_Yl)l, last week, at a
fi'icnd’s house, under the l’alisai.lcs, opposilc
Spite-nilevil’s Creek, about nine niili.-s from
this city. A fine hound-like clog came into
the room where we \\’t-‘l't.‘. sitting, of wlioin
the family related the following iinlance of
sag-acity and canine affection, which had oc-
curred a few days l)cf0l'€'. He. and aiiolhcr
dog is ore in the pi‘-.icli(-e of going out togeth-
or to hunt .*.‘(1Ult‘l‘l3ls on the mountain. His
coinpanion, in pursuit of some g~:inic,g‘ot his
head fast between two rocks, fioin which he
could not cxti'i'c=ile l1llllS(;‘ll—-lie. remained in
this situation rig/it il./Q/v—iliii‘iiig this time,
his astoriate, Watch, fcd him daily_. Watch
w as observed to whine and show ,qrcal un-
i-usiricss; he would sicze upon every bone
and bit of rm-at he could find, and liasti-.n to
the mountain, rcscrvmg for liinisclf oiilv lllt‘
crumbs which were shaken from llleililbil"
cloth. He al~‘o often \\-‘trill to the inaster of
his friend, and by signs cndcavoi‘ed to induce
him to follow him. At ll,‘ll}_1[l1lll0tllilSlCl'
began lqnolicc the. conduct of the dog, anil
one day said to him,“ Watch, do you know
where poor Alonzo is .7” The do; appear-
ing to undemtanil him, sprang upon him
with so much force as to almost throw him
down, and by other signs induced him to fol-
low him. VVaich, elated beyond ineasure,
conducted him to his lmpl'lS0ll€'.(l companion.
The poor dog was found to have suffered
grratly; in addition to his being nearly
starved, in his efforts to extricate himself he
had worn the skin from his neck and should-
ers. He was soon liberated, and __wi1h care
is in a fair way of recovery. Fraginents oi'
‘the bones which Watch had brougl him, lay
around the place of his confinement.

P£owi.a:;:.i Match at Bl‘i¢]§ep0I'f'
As were not present at this interesting ex-
liibilion we are indebted for the facts in this
matter to our cotcinporary of the Standard:
The Fair was attended by thousands of
persons from all sections of the County,
The grounds were located about two miles
ft'()l)'l our city, and were well selected for the
purpose. There were twenty-five entries at
first, but the number who actually entered
and took part in the match were scvcmcea,
The grounds were marked out, measuring
30 rods square, the depth of the fu'rrow‘ to be
scvcn inches. The choice of lands was made=
in the usual fo/rm, and all the plowmen were
ready for llie'sliirt. At 19 minutes past [2
the signal was given by Marshal Broihwell,
and each and every team Sll1l'l.(‘(l. The ex-
citcinent among the spactatois, now com.
mcncc-.d, and the farmers and all interested,
(and it would seem that all present were in-
lcrestcd,) ran frotn one lot to another, watch-
ing the teams, the plows, and the plowmcn,
and the. scene sccincd much like the excito-
ment at a race course. There were four
horse teams, and thirteen cattle teams. The
time. allotted was one hour; the first team out
was E D Bishop’s of New Haven County,
l-lis tzisk was completed in thirty-foi'1‘r milit-
utcs. Quite an c.\'citement appearad to be‘
manifested at the lower part of the ground
at the admirable working of a team entered’
by Gideon Thompson, of Bridgeport. The
active‘-and \VL'll worked oxen, together with
the skill of_llie driver of the plough, caused
gi-c_at aueiinon and admiration. A competi-
tor on the 2ltl_]()llllllg lot, in the management
of histeam, was much admired, and it was
as cxcileable a scene between the two. as in:
a race course where horses are neck andfnecfc;

it may be a comfortable l'(tflt‘Cl.li)l] to the man
that wants a coat, that he can buy it for half‘

rather an aggi-ovation than a conifort.
Most men in this coiintry only got hold of
money in (~x(-liange for their labdr. It is,
tlici'i'l'oic, more important to the laborer that:
