FOR THE BOYS, AD OLDER PEOPLE WHO HATE T0U3G HEARTS.

Brownville, Jan. 24, 1870.

While reading a letter in. the Advertiser several weekg ago from an unknown friend or the cnuaren, I wasled to wish that I too might writeBomethihg for their benefit, not directly addressed to tfiem, but about them)and as I love the little boys verymuch, and incline to the opinion ofthe Scotch lassie, who thought "oneladdie worth twenty lassies," andcould not for the life of her see . whyher brother so much prefered theirsociety. We shall be equally obliviousto their existence, and. talk to theboys of largergrowth of the influencea young man's example has upon I hevbuth of his own sex. We confessthat the. creaking of manly boots, andthe thundering of manly voices haveattractions for us which: we' cannotresist, and would not If we could..

I know the days of the inflexibleCady Stanton are upon us, and themild, winning voice of Lucy Stoneset to move peaceful measure, is heardprophesying of her people that theyshall bring victory to our banners;and it shall be written of the ladies of1870. as it was of Lincoln in 1860

"that they shall go iu where the Quakers come out."

We are waiting to do our part in re--

modeling the political economy, andalready our blood Is tinging withnew sensation, as the future fraughtwith such responsibility passes beforeour excited vision.

Although we enjoy taking a brighter view of scenes beyond, still theres an enthusiasm which only the

chivalrous deeds and noble daring ofa true man can excite, and which hisgenius and strength are alone, sufficient

We appreciated the fortitude hero-s- m

and devotion of woman, for agentle, patient rao her whose handed our faltering feet, combed our tan- -

geled locks, washed our soiled faces.hushed eur cne?. of distress; yet forall that, we have a place in our caleiidar for gentleman eaints only a tableof memory upon which none but anhonest man may write his name.

However much good may be accomplished by the adoption of the differ-ent schemes of reform, such as a presumption of specie," "a cessation oftax," "or the extension of the electivefranchise to all whom it may concern."Yet, the hope of the American peoples a pure manhood, and it is by fur

nishing rare specimens of excellencethat we shall grow such men as willdo honor to any nation ; and in thehour of her peril, will have stronghands aud brave hearts upon whichshe can rely.

Artists and sculptora go. abroad toravel in Europe. They visit every

studio of renown ; gaze long at everypicture of note, hoping to catch theinspiration which gave such modelsto the world.

Shall we be less solicitous than theworshiper of art, of the impressionsproduced upon the young souls in ourcase? Nay! verily. He will searchfur and wide for a classic outline offeatures, or for a subject with theright expression of eye; while theittle boys with spirits unsoiied by sin,

unspotted by sorrow and sent forth toook upon scenes, and not to look only,

but to hear and Imitate sounds whichdo musician could set to notes' of melody no artist would copy for a picture.

It is astonishing how much the creatures of Imitation we are. The fath-er rides a hobby : the son leads outthe same steed, mounts and gallopsaway, wanting only the grace whichage aud experience can give. Thetoddling baby grasping the parentslaud, walks, setting his feet as he

does, and unconsciously looking in hiseye, lisps ins first word, moving lipsand mouth iu harmony with his.Thrice happy if, when the moral nature begins to develope, the parent isable, with divine assistance, to helpthat, little staggering soul to stand,and to, with the dawn of existence topaint with a master hand, the imageof, the God man, Christ Jesus inin-dellib- le

characters, so that it shall bethere "amid the wreck of matter, andthe crash of worlds." '

Men daily exhibit the little vices be-

fore children with the air of shall Irise the word gentlemen?1 Is theresuch a word ? smartness. Consciencea boy of this element in the composi-tion of any action, and you have noneed to say "do it," for before you area half square in the direction, he has!

at last tried to do exactly what youwere doing. ; :

Because' you openty flaunt the en-sign of crime, you call yourselves menof honor. "I am right out with theworst." You say "these small thingsdo no harm to ourselves nor to anyone else." Be still; don't let theboys hear that, for just here is . yourmistake. The poor wretch suspendedfrom the gallows has no Invitation inthe yelling crowd that surrounds him.There la no one there to whisper inthe ear of the next victim, of howfew step9 there are between smallvice, and great crime. , The miserabledrunkard who staggers and reels inthe street, has no one in his trainwho is going to do likewise ; but youyoung men are making prisoners forthe execution by your indulgence andyour 'assumed appearance of Impor-tance, and by advocating moderatedrinking, are helping some down toruin, perhaps the nearest and bestfriend you have. .

boys will be manly, and youare fixing the standard for them.When you meet them with a cigar Inyour mouth, take the other side of thewalk. Don't let the perfume of thecurling smoke reach their nostrils, lesteven that kindle a desire for some-thing stronger. Blush when he seesyou eject the juice of tobacco fromyour mouth ; and if you have fed theappetite for stimulant until It contin-ually cries, "give, give," don't ' letthem hear its voice, for the syrenmight charm them too, and stealaway their brains. "Do not let themsee you degrade your manhood byfrequenting a place where alcaholicdrink is sold. If, you go, go at mid-

night when the silent stars keep theirvigils and we have the little boys safein their trundle-beds- ', kneeling bytheir sides, praying "Our Father Inheaven, to preserve them from weak-ness and sorrow and sin.1' If. youswrear in the presence of a child, let itbe awkwardly done, however polish-ed you may be in the art; .for if; hesees, yon, are verdant or embarrassedIn the presence of the Great Beingwhom you have summoned to witnesssome trivial affairs, I assure you ifhe is a boy of metal he will not imitate you. .

It may be that you may think I ammaking the children of too much imnortance. Greater neaas man ourshave dedicated their genius at theshrine of youth. Greater heads thanany of us possess have beaten in sympathy with the little ones.

Mrs. Browning, writing of th& toiling children of England, who workearly and late in factory, colliery andother places of labor, says ;

Go out children, from the mine and fromthe city: ...

Sing out children as the little thrushes do.They look up with their pale aud sunken

IJICGK

And their'look Is dread to see'For ther mind you of their angels In high

places, ,

With eyes turned on deity.uow long tney say, now long, un j cruet na

tlon.Will you stand to move t he world on a child's

heart"

Victor Hugo, the great, speakstouchingly of neglected children, andthinks the endurance of man, the agony of woman, is nothing comparedwith the suffering of one little hu-

man soul; and no more beautiful sen-

timent i found in the scriptures thanthe words of our Ioviug lord "sufferIttle children to come unto me and

forbid them not, for of such is theKingdom of Heaven." -

PHYSIOLOGY.

The King of Isreal must have takena deep look down Into the mysteriesof those : two beautiful and sublimesciences physiology , and anatomywhen he said of man : He is "fearful- -y and wonderfully made" wonder

fully made! Look at the frame workof. bone, so curiously and perfectlyconstructed for locomotion where tnemotive power ia applied. Then thebeautiful rounded muscles givingsym-metr- y

and conical ness to the form,and elasticity to motion. . ,How pass--ng all wonders the change produced

by the circulatory system,' from 'the,time food enters the mouth until Its" deposited by the minute capillariesin every part of the body, to build upbroken down tissues. How admirablea structure the spinal column, for protecting the brain from jolts and jarsand injuries while the body is moving

' ''about.More marvelous still, are the things

witnessed as the nervous system ia ap-

proached; Those wouderoua conveyances wnicn carry tne elements ofthought, and . the cause of sensationalong with that mysterious nervousfluid to the brain, there to elaboratethought ; there to keep the holy firesof affection burning: there to erectalters of devotion to the eternal spiritThen to aend out the subtile essence ofthe mind after the "High and HolyOne who inhabiteth eternity." andlold communion with the spiritual

eternal, there to learn lessons of immortal and eternal life. '::!-- :

So reflect that there is a possibilityof the wonderous organism of theluman body getting out af repair, is

alarming. The fact - that the lawswhich govern ' their' organism aretransgressed so that man degeneratesphysically, mentally, morally, is fearful. To study the human organismand the laws which govern it, are wor-

thy the most profound intellect .and.the highest aspiration after scientificresearch. How to restore It to healthwhen 'it has been injured and impair- -

ed, is worthy the moat benevolentheart. ... No wonder that all ages of theworld and all nations and people, bothcivilized and savage, had their doctorsand medicine men, their physicians

and metaphysicians who have studiedthe laws of health and the art of heal-ing. :

Without a doubt one of the giftsand duties of the early ChristianChurch wa3 to "heal the sick." It issomething greatly to be desired, thata more universal attention should begiven to physical culture. The physiologist, who is a friend to humanity,is pained to see how men and womendaily disregard the laws of health andIndulge in practices and habits whichprevent a perfect development of body,and as a necessity, proveaU a higfcintellectual and moral developmentRum drinking, with all its terribleconsequences, as not the only evipractice which is ruining body andspirit! . :

:' :

Physiology and the laws of healthare not made enough the study in thepublic schools. The consequences are,children grow up ignorant of theknowledge they most ought to learn.It is not expected they will understand all the mysteries of the sciencesof physiology and hygene, or fathomall their depths ; yet they can understand the general laws of the scienceof .physiology as well as they cangrammar or arithmetic.

The laws which govern the grandand beautiful human organism shouldever be held in sacred regard ; and theperfect development and purity of.it,be a subjectof extreme watchfulness.Terrible are the consequences of violating the laws and conditions ofhealth: " .'

As themirror receives the image ofthe object placed before it, so tha mindreceives the image of the objects andthings which pass before it; . ami asthe more polished and bright the mirror, the more perfect the reflection.So the more cultured and pure themind, the more beautiful the imagesreceived in it. Every mind ia a pic-

ture gallery. How these pictures differ in different minds. Some are darkand frightful and hideous, and weturn from them as from horrid sightsOthers facinate with their lovelinessThe presence of one with a mind filled with "pure, noble, and generousthoughts; with a sweet expression ofwords, is .like the fragrance of flowers, the glory of sunshine and themusic of waters.

Some persons have but one pLetureone idea on the desolate walls of theirminds; and like a prisoner in his cell,they dare not go out after rich andprecious things, jewels and gems, anddiamonds of thought to adorn, theirminds. They listen to the voices ofthe fearful ones who cry beware oryou will oe ios in unnnowo anddangerous seaa, forgetting that themind out in search of truth and rightand life; is drawn toward God, and inGod ia safety.. .

Others,' again, launch out into thedeep and wide ocean of thoughts, androam over the vast fields of ideas, andcome back freighted with flowers,fruit and gems of Immortal loveliness,to adorn their minds. How very careful should every one be about thecharacter of the impressions aa pic-

tures which he allows to be stampedupon his mind, for it is thi which isto determine his destiny for happiness;for misery ; his influence for good orevil, because it is his thoughts andimpression which , cause hira to act;and man is to be "judged by the deedsdone in the body." -

The mind has power . to reject aswell as to receive impressions. Thismakes the difference in the good andthe bad man. The one fills his mindwith' low, grovelling and sinful im- -

pression. Tne otner is nweu wun tnegood, the true and the beautiful. TheBible speaks of some men who haveinot God ni'all their thoughts. Lookall through these mimis and notmuch of the spiritual nature is there ;

all earthly material. But God is imaged in the good man's soul.

Dr. LiYlngsone's Travels'Historians tell u that Alexander

sighed for new worlds to conquer. Itwas an easier thing two thousandyeara ago to find "new worlda ;" buteven now thero are "worlds" enoughto try the energies of a hundred kingslike him of Maeedon, Wp would setthem to oonquer pauperism in. Engl-and,- or to mako ' Iraland contentedunder British rule. We would com-mission them to hunt after the NorthPole, or to trace out the NorthwestPassage; to teit the existence of anAntarctic continent, or to fertilize theinterior of Australia; to teach Mexicothe beauty of peace and industry, orGreece the superiority of law and or-der over brigandage and Jdlen&ss.These would all be greater labors tharthe march of a conquering army fromthe Bosphorus to the Indus. To Eng-lishmen, such lessons seem toconie ofthemselves, and the fierce restlessnessof our Norman blood finds a vent forit3 energies in a thousand harmlessways, that not only extend the repu-tation of our name, but really add"new worlds" to those alreadyknown, Africa haa long been a mostattractive field to men to whom thelameness of modern civilization la aathe Dead Sea apples fair to the eye,but ashes to the taste. Even beforethe time of Mungo Park, our country-men had sought to explore the barreneanda of African deserts, and to liftthe veil of the unrproachable Isia ; butfrom the time of that gallant travelerdown to hia latest successor he, too aScotchman the sources of the Nile,the course of the Niger, the Moun-tains of the Moon, aud the Gardensof the Hesperides have been the ob-ject- of many a venturesome journey,and have been sought at the cost ofthe pilgrim's life.

We hope a better fate haa been re-

served for Dr. Livlogstone. Once hehaa crossed that still only half-?xplor--

continent, and in his second greatjourney he seems to have almostsolved an enigma that haa been thestudy of geographers, from the daysof Herodotus. He has' been awaynearly four years, traveling throughthat va3t district which lies to thenorth of the territories watered bythe Zambesi, nnd, according to thelatest letters, dated July, 1SU3, he ha3succeeded in discovering what he be-

lieves to be the ultimate oourcea ofthe Nile, between 10 and 12 south,nearly in the position assigned tothem by Ptoelmy. He writes: "ItIs not one source from a lake, but up-wards of twenty of them. Lake Li-em- ba

has four rivers flowing into It.One I measured, and found it to beabout one hundred yards wide, waistdeep, and flowing fast in September;"that i3 to say, four months after therains. These must be about fourhundred miles south of the mostsoutherly portion of the VictoriaNyanza, hitherto supposed to be thesource of that enigmatical river ofEgypt. Arab accounts gathered byDr. Kirk, at Zanzibar, describe thelakes mentioned by Livingstone aa ofConsiderable size, "from five to tendays' march in length, and overhungby high mountain slopes, winch openout in bays and valleys, or leave greatplains, which, during rainy season,become flooded, so that caravansmarch for days through water kneeaeepseeKing ior nigner ground onwhich to pass the night."

Jvvery African traveler meets withsomething new, and Dr. Livingstoneseema to have como upon the primi-tive homes of the Troglodytes. Inthe nostscrint to hia disDatch to theEarl of Clarendon, he says : A largetribe lives in underground houses inRua. Some excavations are said tobe thirty miles long, and have run-ning rills in them. A whole districtcan stand a siege in them. ..The writ-ings' therein, I have been told bysome of the peoplo, aro ou wiog3 ofanimals." We hope the Doctor willsucceed in reaching this place, forthis gigantic human warren must bean extraordinary sight, und the"wings" of animal he doca not say

wings or birds" must be curiousprinter's "copy" aa the blade-bon- es

on which Mahomet ia said to havewritten part of his Koran.

It must be remembered that thesedispatches of Dr. Livingstone's arcsixteen' months old, aud a he wasproceeding northward, through acountry where pillar-post- a have notyet penetrated, it may be long beforewe hear from hira again. If he pre-serves hia health, the next news pro-bably will come through Egypt, andrecord hia meeting with Sir SamuelBaker, now working southwards to-

wards the same part of Africa. Wenever need despair of our country solong as she has sons like Livingstoneand . Baker, to whom danger anddifficulty are only things to bo over-come; and if we do not indulge insuch rapturous language about themas the President of the GeographicalSociety, it la not because we honorai.d admire them less, but. becausethey are only samples of what manyare doing on a scene that la not quiteso romantic or celebrated as the inte-rior of Africa.

How Monkejs are Caught.From. the chapter on menageries,

in Olive Logan's readable volume,"Before the Footlights and Behindthe Scenes," we make the followingextract:

Monkeys are snch cunning crea-tures, one would suppose them muchmore difficult to catch than otherwild animals. Pitfalls will take alion, the famished monarch of thedesert will, after a few daj-s-, starva-tion,' dart into a cage containing food,and thus be secured. But how aremonkeys caught? The ape familyresembles man. Their vieea are hu-man. They love liquor and fall. InDarfour and Sahaar the natives makefermented beer, of which the Inon-key- s

are passionately fond. Awareof thay the natives go to the parts ofthe forests frequented by the , mon-key- a.

and set on-th- ground in cala-bashes full of the enticing liquor. Assoon as a monkey pees and tastes it,he utters loud erica of joy, that soonattracs hia comrades. Then an orgiebegins and in a short time the beastsshow all degrees of intoxication.Then the negroes appear. The drink-ers are too far gone to distrust themfor larger apeciea than their owngenus. The negroes take some up,and these immediately begin to weepand eover them with kisses. Whena negro takes one by the hand to leadhim off, the nearest monkey willcling to the one who thus finds a sup-port, and endeavor to go ofTalso. - An-other will grasp at him, and so on,until the negro leads a staggering lineof ten or a dozen tipsy monkeys.When finally brought to the villagethey are securely cT:ged, and gradual-ly sober down: but for two or threedays a gradually diminishing supplyof liquor la given them, so.aa to re-concile them by degrees to ' theirFtageoi captivity.
