Is the Acquisition of Knowledge Desirable? By John C. Duval. .We are wont to boast of the vast progress we have made during the present century in the arts and sciences, but when the supreme test of happiness is applied to such progress, can we truly say that we have been to any great ex- tent the gainers by it? That's the question. I remember very well when there was not a railroad nor a telegraph nor a telephone (and scarcely a steam- boat) in the United States, and yet I am convinced that people were fully as happy and contented then as they are now. News that was days and weeks reaching us by stage or horseback was iust as much news to us then, and gave ` as much satisfaction to us, as the broken doses we get now- hourly by telegraphs and railroads ; and the man ~ who achieved a journey of forty or fty miles a-day by post or on horseback was justas well, satised asthe man is "now who quadruples that" distance -on a: lightning express.

They are already an established fact, and indeed have so general and powerful effect on the whole system that , thousands of the sick and afflicted in every clime have found them a comfort in the hour of need.

For, even admitting they had weryt/mzg essential to earthly felicity, the. knowledge that such lhi ygs would be taken from them in a few `years by death, would be a sword of Damocles hanging by a h .ir above their heads to counterbalance" the `pleasure of pos:es- sxon. ` _........v V- vuv UUJUVU DUUEIJV. ' There is no doubt if .the people of the present day could be carried back to the times of good Queen Bess,` that they would grievously miss many- things which custom has rendered essential to them (speaking for myself, I scarcely see how it would be possible for me to exist without coffee or tea), but yet I think it reasonable to suppose that the people who actually lived in those times were as happy as we are. now. I "zlvhope no one will suppose, from anything I have said in the` foregoing, that I am-one of ' those fossilized old fogies who are opposed to progress, and . believe thatthe good old times" were better than those of our day and genera tion. The desire of improvement, and the increase of knowledge, is an |inher- ent principle of the human mind, and if debarred from gratifying it, man, no doubt, would be more unhappy than he is now, But I believe that happiness results mainly from the gratication of this desire, and not from the attain- ment of the object sought. mknmn :11 -.A .J...-LL If LL- ._--"`- -1` I` uau auuusvuusvuu I But I do not ` go - the whole hog with the poet when he says if ignor- ance is bliss, _ tis_folly to be wise, be- cause I believe a wise man may be,a.nd probably is. fully as happy as an ignor- amus--but is he more so? that's the question. Nor can I agree altogether with a prominent atheist of the day, who-says, ?`Give` me the storm and tempest of thought and action, rather than the dead calm of ' ignorance and faith. Banish me from E {en when_.you will, but let me first eat of the tree of knowledge."

My experience proves to me that the wisest and most learned man, when s-a'ering,with the.` juinping toothache is justas miserable as an ignorant Hot- tentot wouldbeif he were alicted. in the sameway. If it were so ordained that the acq-usition of knowledge should always augment part passu our pains`, mental or physical, I think but few of us would _ever get beyond our A B C s. Satan, upon whose brow, as Byron says, deep and unfathomable thoughts are graved, has knowledge far beyond that ot mortal man, but where would you nd the -man who would willingly change places with him ! Knowledge, next to happiness, is more to be covet- ed than `anything else 5 but 1 will venture to say this much : if I were in Eden, you wouldn't get me out of it with my consent, if I were compelled to leave happiness behind me-no, not even if the forests beyond its connes were lled with "the trees of knowl- elge. Happiness here and hereafter is the end and aim of all our struggles and ebrts, and Ib0tk'i7?g could recom- pense us for its loss--not even knowl There is something` ur.-` known. For all these thine naturally fall into the hands of ambitious, aggrang dizing capitalists, whoewiebld them with irresistible power for the accumulation of millions upon millions of money, which seventy or eighty years ago would have gone into a hundred differ- ent channels, and beneted thousands, instead of heaping wealth upon a single individual or corporation. And, in this way, who can say that this very progress in material advancement may not pozsibly prove to be the main cause of the demoralization of our people, and the ultimate overthrow of our republi- can institutions ! 1 1 1 M nouovv;s AI__.., ._. ....... uuv mwuun uurryln gmtcv nouns dine!
