Tlilnklnjj men ofioij daploro ilia frivolous
nolure of lb rending of ouraj:i," iiid lis
waste of tlms and Intellect our tbo count.
Its powspajiou which find their wajr into
tlio coufitiii-room and ilia wr!or. 1)M
thr-ro is a briglit a well (iutk side to tho
picture, and papera conducted with etui
ncnt iibilii ftfo important educators of
nation. 'Jin pott Croly spraki in tli fol
lowing eulogistic strain t-f lit daily and
weekly press of England, and liU remark
are qunlly truo with respect to tLo pats
of our own country :
Tlio newspaper, tlio most influential
cf nil human voi!, it il.e in-aiiou of
printing, li I to tlio honor of Holland
that, iu this country, it approach nenrrsl
to excellence, in intellectual vi-;or, In va
riety of knowledge, in extent of informa
tion, and in patriulio tirinuiple. It hai,
like all the work of man, occasional iiu
perfection!, and, perhaps, the most promi
nent are its loo mimtte detail of offense
against public purity. But ihcro is
scarcely a newspaper iu this age which
would not havo beeu regarded as a triumph
of ability in tlio last. In fact, I lift now,
paper of England ii tlio gaul practical
teacher of liio peuplo. Iu cnlant and
universal teaching alono accounts for the
superior intelligence of the population.
Schools, lectuic-runnis, and universities,
important iu they all arc, aho tber fall
behind it iu public efllct, or find i hat to re.
tuiu their iiilluence, they muat follow in its
steps.
"Tliosostep may now and then turn
from I ho right road, but their native ten
dency is forward and upward. This in
tellectual giant always advances, and car
ri.a the country with him to a hi'hi which
no other country, ancient or modcrnvrr
Attained, or, perhaps, ever Imped to ailiiin.
If, in an age of foreign convul.imi, Kiig
land has undergone no catastrophe if, iu
the fall of monarchies, she has preserved
her hereditary throne if, in the mingled
infidelity nnd stiperstiiiun of the Continent,
which, like the inicgled fitter and frenzy
of a lunatic hospital, have, in our rluy,
exhibited thft lowest humiliation of our
nature, alio lias preserved her freedom and
her religion I attribute all, under Cod, to
tho vigor and intelligence of public inves
tigation, tlio incessant urgency of appeal
to iho public mind, the living organization
of which tho heart is tlic Tress of England."
rui.NTEiis. Tlio Ilcirasl Mercury gives
the following In relation to ptiuters:
" From high to low, they are the same
careless, light hearted, clover, well-informed,
rrckicss fellows, knowing how to
act belter than Ihcy do nothing ot times,
everything if the occasion requires, or
the fit takes them. No snonor are they
comfortably in ono town than they make
tracks fur another, even though they travel
en "huir 6paco" mean. And to what
will they not turn their hnnds i ' We have
teen,' says nil American editor, 'one nnd
the wine individual of the craft a minister
in California, a lawyer in Missouri, a sher
iff iu Ohio, a boatman on a Western canal,
sailing a privateer, and a pressman in a
large printing ollico. Nor arc iho charac
ters confined to any one country they are
everywhere tho same. We hovo met
them as lecturers, actors, traveling preach
ers, ventriloquists in fact, everything.
We have niut on a tramp in this coutitry
members of this roving profession from all
pat ts of the globe Frenchmen, Spaniards,
Portuguese, tj'ermnns, nnd Swedes, and all
apparently as much at homo as in their
own country.' Ardmt lovers of liberty,
Kiug-eraii aim priests nnd but lilt lo tuvur
in their eyes. They are always with the
peopto. uen mo unurtist excitement
;waa raging in England, tho most eloquent
and spirited leaders in the movement were
printers. When barricades wero raised iu
Paris in 1818, the compositors cast their
"type into bullets and fired them at tho
royalist troops. When the Americans
were at war with Mexico, ono of Gen.
Taylor s volunteer reiriineuts was comnoned
almost entirely of printers, and thoy were
Itie bravest of his troops. Ucn. J'letco,
in a speech at Concord, N. II., nftor his re
turn from the Mexican war, bote testimony
to tho chivulrous beuring of the printers,
as a class, in the soveral Utiles at the cttv
cf Mexico. '
. Tub Influence of Music All natuie
acknowledges tho influence of music ; man
bend beforo its power, and even the infe
rior snimuls own its dominion. The deep,
tonod organ, as it peals through jthc groined
nd richly-fretted arches of the lofty ca-
ineurni, wans ino soui to neaven on llie
wings of melody, nnd rlovates the devo
tional feelings of the sincere worshiper.
Tho child, as he lisps nnd prattles on his
nurse's knee, leaps bounding to a lively
.air, or is hushed to sleep by agcntlo lulla
'by. Old, frail wrecks of humHiiiiy, whose
-dancing days have long sinoe parsed away,
will beat time with their staff to the sound
of tho fiddle. Nations have been con
quered, battles have been woo, by the io
iluence of music.
Fine raorrncTs for Whisky Dhinkhrs.
It ha been so satisfactorily proved that
strychnine is ussd to a large extent in the
nianufucluro of whisky, that tho Legisla
turo of Ohio Inst session passed a law
which mal.es it a State Prison offense to
use it for such a purpose, fly the use of
certain quantity of this poi.on, with to
bacco juice, every bushel of grain is made
to produce live gallons of whi.ky, while
w ith an honest distillation the product is
only half that amount. It was the drain
age from these strychnin? distilleries (hat
killed their hogs, causing the hitherto mys
terious disease known as ho cholera.
Fish havo alio boen killed in tho Scioto
River at Ciiillicothe by the drainage from
distilleries in which this delightful bever
ago is prepared. A chemist say a barrel
of it contains strychnine enough to kill
thirty men. If the mere drainage baa pro
duced such a fearful mortality among ths
Log that thousands of them Lave died, a
of cholera, wo thiuk the wbiskj drinkers
theje who have the full benefit of tbo
trjehniae and tobacco juice in their sola.
Moe a tat Lre a deiihtTul time amal
.ViU'iuL T'mits. There i a clas of
men who are naturally inclined in recive
imprvssiou from other. . Coiiiequniitly
thry love crod, if not society, and havo

Another description of inen prefer di
rectly the reverse. They are soliiary,
wish to live alone, go into cmpany with
roluctance, and find their principal source
of enjoyment in their own society and re.
flections. When thrown among others,
they cannot hrlp projecting their own
character and thoughts on I hem,' instead
of wailing fur and accepting those of the
persons with whom they bappen lo be as-
ocialrd, These two classes are as dixtinct
and well-recognized a the lion and the
sheep among animal. ' Isoletidn and dom
ination are the characterises of tl one,
gregsriousnes and compliance Ihnae of
llie oilier, , 1 tieie oitTorent qualitiisesuli

TflR Uxivf-Kse Suppose the earth to

Scientific Professor Secchi, director
of the Astronomical Observatory at Rome,
has succeeded, after a long series of ober.
vntions made by means of the Una teles
cope at hi command, in producing a re.
maikable drawing of tho lunar mountain,
Copernicus. -The drawing i on a scalo or
ten geographical miles to an inch, and all
the objects are laid down by triangulution.
It is snid to bo by far tho nm.t perfect rep.
resenlalion of any portion of iho moon's
Niirfuce that has ever been executed, nnd is
of much scientific value.
Tub Hudson Hay Company. A com
mittee of the English Parliament some
months ago had under consideration tho
luhjpct of tho future disposition of the
vast lauded possessions of Ino Hudson Bay
Company in North America. The Mon
treal Herald hn advices from England lo
the effect that the company ore to be al
lowed lo retain the territory, on the. con
dition that they ahull give up such por
tion of it as from time to time may be
required for the purpose of Colonization.
A Nation of SnopKEErKas.' This' ex
pression, applied by Napoleon to the liril.
i.sh people, was original with Samuel Ad.
urns, who employed it in an oration on the
subject of American Independence, dcliv.
eredin Philadelphia, in August, 1770. , It
is probable, however, ihat ihe terso ex
pression was used by Napoleon without
knowing that it. had been anticipated by
the vehement old republican of the Ameri
ca revolution. ' .
Nami.no Cuilduen. The Jews named
their children the eighth day after their
nativity ; tho Romans gave names to their
female children on the eighth day, and to
the male on the ninth, on which day they
solemnized a feast. The Greeks gave the
name on the tenth day, and. an entertain
merit was given by the parents In their
fricndii, and sacrifices made to the gods.
The name given was usually indicative o
somo particular circumstance attending
the birth, some quality of body or mind, o
was expressivoof the good wishes or fond
hopes of the parents. ' X i . '."
Ladies' Veils A Caution. Curtis,
a celebrated writer on sight, say that the
wearing of veils permanently weakens
many naturally good eyes, on the account
of the endeavors of the eye lo adjust itself
to the ceaseless vibrating of that too com
mon articlo of dress. . . "
Two Ways of Heading It. The anec
dote, conundrum, enigma, puzzle, quodilbet
or whatever it is, thai has been going tho
round of the papers, about the lady giving
the word ttrijxs to her suitor, lo make his
answer out of, is liko the Delphic orach s,
susceptible of an answer either way. Sonic
of our cotemporaries insist thai it was iu
tended to bo In the affirmative pcrsist,-
Dut suppose it was intended to ho I ant a.
mount to a rejection t As thus Step, sir !
These girl are "mighty unsartin' crit

tV A late census of London shows
140,120 more females lhan males, 09,481
unmarried ladies in excess of unmarried
men ; 1 10,070 widows lo 37,080 widowers;
and 10,033 "grass widows," as is seen by
the fact of there being that number of
married women more than of married
men. .
Iu a curious book on tha, Rouml
Towers of Ireland, the origin of iho terni
Yankee Poodle was traced to the Persian
phrase "Yankee dooniab," or "inhabit
ant of the New World." Leyard in his
book oa ' Nineveh and ita Remains," also
mentions Yanghidumia, as the Persian
name foj America. -
(& A Western noa witnessed a pngi-
