' The Influence of Occupa tion upon itlincl. fFrom the Technologist. 1 1 The physicaUinfluence of different I occupations upon tnoso J. who pursue them has been very carefully and .ys tematicallyinvestigated, but the men tal influence of these different employ meats " has not ; received, the same thdaghtful examination, although it has been quite as much talked about, and has, perhaps, exerted quite as great an influence upon the practical decisions'of men ' That our employments Shave a great influence upon our mental growth there can be no doubt, but thus fir they have been viewed more from the standpoint of what is falsely called cul ture par excellence? meaning "'therchy a sort f effeminate gentility, than from the really practical standpoint of sound mental training. , The work of the far Boer and the mechanic h s been avoided, because it was not co nsidered punter I, and because the impression was that. the tendency jof such employments is to produce a certain coarseness f though and mannenwhich is deerbed tiHle.sira ble. The more impojrtant influences of . these employments, such as their effect 'upon, the reasoning powers, their ten dency to foster sound judgmen, and i enable ''those who pursue th m in a E roper spirit, to see those hidden and eautiful things of nature which re f r ever concealed from the superficial ob server, have been entirely overlooked. The obvious elements which present themselves for consideration in an at tempt to arrive at a correct conclusion in any individual case are these: First, thr iufluence1 of the occupation itself ; secondly, the character of the mind that is to be impressed, and thirdly, the influence of the associations with which any given employment will bring us into contact The second and third of these elements are practically quite as important as the first, but as they are subject to great variations, and iu many cases are in a measure under our own control, we do not propose to con eider them at this time. Some minds might be subjected to the most tho rough training and the most beneficent influences without receiving any mark ed benefit , Some minds become im pure and coarse, no matter what the character of their associations may be, while others seem to be so happily con . etituted that they pass unscathed 'ibtottgir -llie mo t contain in ating oci . etj. 2tJii Mfiii. .jf;r The mental influence of any occupa tion,will depend bpoa : first, its physi cal character, such as whether much muscular effort it required or Dot t secondly ,-lbe demands that its acquire imenl makes upon the mind, and thirdly the demands that its prosecu- -.a? - - 9 . . A. - m . tuon mates upon me attention. Jn a recent article on u Muscle and "IJraip we pointed out the fact that any great demand upon the physical ? system precludes continued and con : cen t rated sfudy. i The man thatworks little will certainly be able to sjudy ;flll the better. for that. work : the man thrft'wotki Teryhard physically wil probably not .be abe to study at all. If inC DiaCKSmun.BIier uaru uajr a wura, t aits down to the study of Euclid, the probability is jnat he will fall asleep before he has worked out a single pro- pdsitionV and the same is true of the ' farmer. 'Exceptional cases may bo 5 found, it is true, and Elihu Burritt may 'be cited as an illustrious instance in - disproof of oar position. But those who t b aye conducted an, evening school t of joung mechanics know how a hard 2ay'atiwork, tells upon the ability , to itwiclosely aod'hard. It may not tell so much in cases where a lively interest is maintained, as in class competitions, etc., but it is easily seen when any really (solid work is undertaken. So too with the farmer. He jrho works hard all day following the plow will find it difficult to fix his attention upon the more abstruse departments of chemistry and vegetable physiology in the even- I jng. It ..is.-tnereiore oovious mat mo result ot continuous hard labor muct be to preclude all devotion to the higher studies, and the mind will consequently remain in a measure untrained. On the other "hand; where the employment is such as to require moderate exercise and not much hard physical exertion, the conditions for mental development will be most fully met. Hence, while the mere laborer on the farm, or in the workshop, finds m employment detri mental to his intellectual progress, the foremen and overseers in the same de partments of labor find no such diffi culty. The peculiar demands that the pre liminary training required for any occu pation will make upon the mind must obviously exert a marked influence upon the future mental character. In ihe first place, the fact that a study is to be applied in our future occupation, irirot: n stimulus that run not otherwise , . , , - . . . . h nhtinnmi mill invfsN with lntfrpst that lhat wouj otherwise be dry and uninviting The youncr man whose tudies are carried on with a view to their practical employment in the indus trial arts, is , more likely to become thoroughly grounded in science than ooe who pursues the same studies as a mete matter of routine. We, of course, except those whose peculiar tastes lead them to study earnestly lor -the pure love of science. Such students, if un tmmeled by cirenmstances, will always make the ablest scientists, but our ex perience is that yourg men of this character are comparatively scarce .Moreover, an employment that requires the exercise of mere physical force can never elevate the mind to the same ex tent as one that requires thorough pre paratory study and constantly calls into requiition the knewledge thus ac quired. The young carpenter who constantly finds himself called upon to exercise hi knowledge of mathematics will be more likely to have a well trained mind than one whose occupation never demands the ejetcise of his pre vious studies The extent of the demands made n pon -the attention by any employment will have a powerful effect m determin ing the ultimate resu't. Those employ ments that require very constant atten tion, preclude all opp rtuoily lor reflec- tion. Jioofcs may be read during the evening, but if their contents be not pondered over during the day, the facts acquired by the mind remain undigest ed. unassitniUted, and comparatively worthies. But if, on the other hand, the day be spent in some light meehan- icai employment tnai aoes not require any great amount of thought or atten tion, the information previously attain ed is the sujjectof thought during long hours and becomes, in the truest sense, food for the mind. This is well seen in the case of the shepherds on the Scotch hills. The employment here is such as to leave the workmen long hours, which may be devoted to thought and study, and they have availed themselves fully of their opportunities. As might be expected, they have devoted their attention chiefly to Bible subjects, and on all questions relating to the subtle ties of the (Jalvanistic theology they are most tnorousniy informed. In regard to other studies, the same thing is true of the inhabitants of other local ities, both in Scotland and in England. The weavers in some of the Scotch towns have long been noted for their proficiency in mathematics ; in some of the manufacturing towns of England the operatives have paid great attention to such sciences as entomology, botany, mineralogy, etc , and the degree of pro ficiency which they have attained is truly wonderful. The true explanation 6f all this is to be found in the fact that 8omejof them had a taste for such sub jects at first, and their occupations left them mental leisure to pursue them We say mental leisure, for of physical leisure, that is, Ireedom from work, they had but little ; though the result shows that the mere occupation of the hands is not of much consequence, pro-. vided the mind is lei t at liberty, In speaking thus of demands for mere attention, we of course except those cases in which tho attention is con stantly rdouired for tho solutions of problems of a higher class. e -; . . v- The North westcre Stage Campany now ru n f aur ' horse coahes from the Dalles to Umatilla every other day. Immigration and the War. From the New York Times. ' The true strength of the United States, the real source of their wonder sul energy and elastic force, lies in the swift development of the West. Euro pean.war. therefore, which checks emi gration, checks the grpwthof this coun try. There can be no more immediate connection between cause und effect than that by which, when the influx of fresh labor stops, the phenomenal in crease of the Republic must stop. True, it may go on for a space by its own momentum, but necessarily on a modi fied scale, constantly tending to dimi nution, and a concurrent shrinking of statistics and values. We have been getting, for example, each year, from the countries now at war, somewhat more than 100,000 emigrants. $ovr, the war whieh began on the 19th ot July has only occupied about one-third of the time since the 1st nf January, yet the immigration at this port alone has fallen ofl more than 40,000 in that space of time ; and if the struggle con tinues, .will decrease necessarily in a greater ratio hereafter. The emigrants, moreover, who will cease to come, ore not of the class who remain on the sea board or settle in the great cities. They are of the thrifty, energetic, agricul tural class who have been used to flock to the great plains of the West, pres sing onward the fringe of culture and civilization, and rendering possible and profitable those vast enterprises of in ternal improvement, which, in, their absence, must necessarily stand gtill or depreciate. It seldom happens, in truth, that the calamities of nations really benefit their contemporaries ; and. as the United States are situated in their industrial relations with the people of Enrope, such an expectation with us" would be chimerical. We are not more likely, on the, whole, to profit by war in the Old world, than would the city Tjf New York by a war between Wisconsin and Illinois. The misfor tunes of either creditors or customers seldom tend to the advantage of a single trade; and there are good reasons for expecting verifications of the same principle in the experience of a nation. Nkw Boat for tiik Umpqua. The semi-annual meeting of the. stock holders of the Merchants' and Farmers Navigation Company was .held on Thursday last, and the reports of the progress of the enterprise were highly satisfactory to those ..concerned. The boat is finished, and has passed the tc?t of the Government inspection. 'Jie boiler was "tested up toone hundred and sixty five pounds hydraulic pres sure, and was at that etrain as tight as a bottle. The boat developcs a high rate ot speed, and is in all respects a splendid model. Wo look anxiously for high water to hear her whistle on the timpqua, and there is no doubt but that she will demonstrate this winter that the rainy season will in future be the time for the merchants of this valley to get up their freight. The stock of the Company was increased from twelve thousand to fifteen thousand dollars. and the additional stock is being rapidly taken up. Flaindealer. Small iox Remedy. The small pox remedy wnicu cured tnrce mousauu I 1 1 .lit.. . A I - . .1 cases in England, taken in all stages of the disease, is so simple, that it canoot be too widely disseminated It is: A . 11 t t I cream oi tartar jounce; rnuoaru i grains ; cold water one pint. The dose is from a quarter to a half pint. In severe cases a half pint dose should be administered. In cases characterized by delirium, great benefit has been ob tained by applying a bottle of not water to the feet, rlenty of fresh air is im portant, and an out door airing at the earliest period practicable is recom mended. When applied in the earliest stage of the eruption, the eruption is arrested, and suppuration prevented. without any injurious .result. The mixture should bo well stirred or shaken immediately betore administering it. Another remedy is also strongly recommeuded. It is as follows .Sul phite of soda one ounce, dissolved in a quart of water. Take a tahlespoonfui three times a day. ibis recipe has been used with good results, both as a reuie dy for, and preventive of, small pox. ' It is stated tjjiat the new Legislature of Louisiana, just elected, will contain 4 colored men in the Senate and about 40 in the House. South Carolina not only elects 3 colored members of Con gress; but a colored Lieut, Governor, 11 colored State Senators, and 80 colored members of the House, besides a colored Secretary of State and a supreme Judge Alabama has elected a colored member of Congress a number of colored per sons to the State Legislature. -Post. Til lill V III HI III II I'll II II" llll II 'I bm I I Shooting a Cow. One of the straying sort of cows that get over fences or through gates, which they can push or break open, and into flower" gardens, door yards and. lots generally, and there make havoc and destruction, came to her death yester day as the penalty of her trespass. o uuge j iewia nas a very beautiful flower garden on tho corner of Third aud Col lege Streets, and it is well protected against ordinary grazing live stock. liut one of those smart, gate-opening cows managed to open the gate and get into his garden, where she soon wrought almost irreparable damage. Judge Lewis, happened to bo home, and as he could not drive the trespassing and destructive animal out without bavin" his flower beds trampled to ruin, he shot her. She took the decisive hint, walked directly out of the gate, got into the street a little way off, and laid her self dowa to die. It may seem hard to shoot a cow for harming a garden patch, bat the owners of straying cows ought to bear in mind that garden patches cost money, just as cows do ; that their possessors value them quite as much or more, than coWs arc valued; and that one is very apt, when a fire arm is fcandy and an obtruding cow is ravaging their highly prized and care fully preserved gar Jens, to' obey the impulse which prompts "shoot I" be fore the second sober thought occurs which prompts a milder course for the abatement of the nuisance. If the owners of cows will observe the example of the owners of gardens, and not let them trespass on the grounds of others, their kine will live louger in the land Bulletin. Baixou's Magazine for Decem liEtt. The first in the field for Decern her is Ballon's Magazine, and an ex amination of it shows that it is a model number in every respect. The engrav ings are excellent, tho descriptions ingenious and eloquent, while the stories are remarkable for their great interest and originality. Mrs. Edson finishes her continued story and Hora tio Alger, Jr., concludes his Siuk or Swim" in. a' satisfactory manner, as the juveniles will learn when they read it. Macy has furnished a sea story" in. his own peculiar vein. Stephens gives u An Evening with a Ca'amount." Barling telli us " Why our Wedding was Postponed," iu his most comic if manner; and then there is a Chris inas story, full of humanity and goodness, and three or four . hxvc stories which will bear perusal half a dozen times, and " Lrwt and Found" is a regular California tile, by a new aspirant fir fame in the columns of Ballou. In ad dition to 'these, there are miny articles worth reading, in the shape of sketches, poetry, etc. etc., and all for the sum of fifteen cents per copy, or SI 50 per vear.

A. good joke was perpetrated the other day by a gentleman of Manche ter, who was a passenger on the train from Boston. There was some conver sation among some Manchester men on the train in relation to various churches which were passed on their route. On ncariug.the station at Lowell, the jail in that city came in sight, when some one, who did not know its exietcharac ter exclaimed " What church is that?" X cue89 that's a1 close communion church " said his neighbor in the next scat, 44 at any rate, it is'nt a free will church." : '! S rAOES.
