THE EMBODME&T OF THE JVlfclTIA . " "When" rogues fall out , lionest men have tlioir iay . " Eussi ^ . is creating a disturbance in Europe , and if the people of the , continent are alive to their own interest and opportunity , fclie coming struggle will not be closed yery shortly , nor will it " fee without results such as will make it worth while to have undergone it . ' . The events , however , appear to be acting as a school course for reviving the spirit of ZEngland .
We donot say this only because the militia is to be embodied . That step is so extremely partial as to constitute no real calling out of the ^ English people , such as is understood by any operations with the militia in America , for example . SiiU we are making way . The progress of the war and the progress of taxation are going on together ; yet the English peo ple do not grumble . And they are right ;
for nothing we "believe has happened more fortunately for England than this outbreak of continental war . " We have been too long undisturbed in inere material prosperity , and , degeneracy showed itself in every part of society . Our aristocratic classes had become nothing but the enjoyers of amusement in . saloon or field , and shrank from any trouble : their sons now liasten to scenes of active
service , where they will be able to renew the " charges" of the family escutcheon , and , what is of more importance , the life of their hereditary blood . Trading objects , excluding all others , had tlirown the youth of our middle class either into a degenerating idleness or into a worse confinenien . t at the counter or desk , and the Bigns of a decayed life were visible on the countenance of the population . Leas demoralized in some respects , but
growing daily more unfamiliar with active service , the working class of the towns spent their life mostly in-doors , and the labourer of the field was becoming a beast of burden . The taxea we have to pay for war are a fee , by help of which we procure a rousing for the public mind , an occasion in which all classes must think of each other , and mere trading
tests of morals are rebuked . The single fact that the militia has to be « ailled out for bodily exorcise is in itself a great memento that the nation will lose its place in the world , unless it ho nble to sustain that place by courage and familiarity with manly action . A respect for manly qualities therefore now competes with respect for mere trading acuteness or for juoney prosperity .
