AMERICAN LYCEUM-No. Q

Practical Seminary. The expense of our
high schools place them out of the reach of
large majority Of the community. Oppor-
tunites for an education equally thorough
and liberal, procured principally or wholly
by the industry of its pupils, would afford
advantages nearly equal to the rich and
poor. Every child, however poor his pa
rents, would have it in his power to obtain
an education of the first character, and no
less valuable because obtained by his own
industry and efforts.
That such opportunities may tie provided,
cannot admit of doubt. Some of our most
able men have betrayed the expenses of
their education by their own industry, and
under the greatest disadvantages, being
compelled to abandon their studies por-
ton of the time, to procure means to carry
them on the remainder. An institution
which should provide means for the produce
tive industry of its pupils portion of every
day, while the remainder was devoted to
study and instruction, must enable them
nearly or wholly to defray their expenses,
and at the same time, make respectable
progress in the cultivation of the mind.
An institution provided with farm, gar
criptions, in addition to teachers of the
highest character, would present the best
opportunities that could possibly be enjoyed
ny the children of any parents, and espe-
cally those in moderate circumstances.
Gardens and workshops would afford the
most salutary gymnastic exercises that
could be provided. AT the same time that
they would furnish kind of exercise, the
most favorable to the vigor Of the body and
mind, they would enable young men to OBJ

tain a knowledge of work and of tools,
which would be useful to them in future
life, whatever might be their pursuits.
Making apparatus for schools and I,y-
ceums, would furnish most interesting, prof
table and useful exercises, for such an in
stltutlon: Constructing apparatus could
hardly fail to impress upon the minds of
those who made it, the principles it was
intended to illustrate. No knowledge can
be SO thorough and permanent, as that
which person procures by experiments
tried by himself, and by apparatus made
by his own hands. An institution provided
with the means of self education in the
strIctest sense of the word. might, more
shan any other, be economical, thorough, and
liberal.
If such an institution or institutions, were
established under the patronage of Ly-
ceums, there could hardly fail to rise be-
tween them, reciprocal, harmonious and
powerful action. The Lyceums would fur
nsh the Summaries with pupils, and the
Semlnaries would supply the Lyceums with
teachers, apparatus, and numerous facili-
ties for conducting their operations. The
numerous and interesting relations which
"'"'o HoIuiuIiy eAiSL ueIWeen the TWO
classes OF Institutions, cannot be developed
on the present occasion; but it may be
remarked, that the Lyceum system can
never be carried into operation, without
Seminaries of the highest character con-
nected with them, and conducted upon the
most thorough, practical, and economical
principles.
1t is hoped that the time will come
when such institutions will be established
IN all the principal counties or districts in
our Union. At present, one, but that of
the highest character which the talents
and the resources of the country can fur
nish, is all that can with prudence be at
tempted. And one practical, economical,
and liberal Seminary, whose advantages
shall be within the reach of any member of
the community, disposed to enjoy them, is
presented for the consideration of all the
branches of the American Lyceum.

LOTTERIES.


You will find it announced in glaring
capitals, that there are "not two blanks to
to a prize" that "many tickets must
draw two prizes and many three !" and to
relieve you from suspense about your
"luck," you are told that all ''will be
drawn in FIVE minutes" and the fate OF
the whole tickets will be determined by the
drawing of five, seven, or nine numbers"
This is effected, you ale told, by the new
and highly improved mode of drawing" by
combination, Formulation and transmutation
of figures, or by the "united SYSTEM" or
by some other mathematical or geographic
cal fraud.
But let us look at one of the schemes"
and we shall discover, that, in lottery
containing 10000 tickets, there will seldom
be found more than so prizes over 100 dol
lars, and often not half this number. Now
it is plain that 39,950 adventures must be
disappointed in their hopes, while only so
out of 10000 can draw any prize above 100
dollars. This of itself, will be sufficient to
deter any prudent man from squandering
his money in the nefarious and iniquitous
way. But still there are "not two blanks
to price," and the lowest prize is more
than the price of a ticket. This is the
very climax Of deception. They tell us
that the prizes amount to an equal sum
with the price of the tickets, und the small
discount of fifteen per cent. is all that is
made by the lottery. But they do not tell
us that by the new and improved methods
of drawing each thousand must draw one

Coon PRINCIPLES AND Coop Morals The
editor of the Montreal Courant, mentions hav-
ing received for exchange, paper printed in
the Subsequently, in New York-avowedly
opposed to Christianity, and to all revealed re-
ligion, and declines the profered exchange, be-
cause paper Of that character would be of no
use to him, and says, that, had the editor of it
been better acquainted with the country to
which he sent his journal he might have saved
himself that unnecessary trouble. He then
makes some further remarks from which we
extract the following, as credtaole to the
character of the population of Montreal, and as
evincing, in our opinion, Just estimate of the
responsibilities, in relation to public morals,
which rest on those who have the charge of
the periodical press
" In few years Montreal has raised four
houses of worship, each of them highly credit
able to the place, and one of them splendid
ornament, not only TO the city, but to the
American continent. These e6iices are occu-
pied by large, and we believe ir every instance,
increasing congregations, whilst our Theatre
has been sold by the Sheriff to liquidate its
outstanding debts. On Sunday the dwelling
houses are almost literally empted by their in
habitants during the hours of public worship,
by the general attendance of the people on
these solemn ordinances. The nocturnal yell
of the bacchanalian, or the midnight street
pacing of the dissipated are not frequent, and
are almost unknown among us. After ten
O'Clock at night our city presents such an ap-
pearance of stiffness, that stranger coming
from one of the large commercial towns of Eu-
rope or the United States, and arriving at this
hour, would suppose the place to be abandoned
by its inhabitants. Can so much be said of
London, Paris, Berlin, or New-York, now noto-
rious for the strong hold which infdelity has
made among their inhabitants? And need it
be wondered if in such state of things, we, as
one of the guardians of the press, should shrink
back with conscientious horror from an over
ture which might in its consequences sap the
foundations of this happy state of society-of
the dearest interests and brightest hopes of a
moral communty-might deprive them of
their sweetest balm of consolation in the day of
affection, their unfailing stay and support in
trial and temptation, and their brightest hopes
in the hour of DEATH

% There is much truth and justice in the
following remarks, which we copy from the
Salem Gazette. If people were, generally,
more cautious of giving their support to papers
which admitted into their columns, matter,
either of low, vulgar, immodest, or immoral
character, it would cause great Improvement
in the newspaper press of this country, and
would tend to the promotion both of good taste,
and good morals. Every man should determine
in his owe mind, whether he will support such
paper as is first, or last, described in the con-
GLIDING paragraph of this article, and, then, he
should be careful to select one of the descrip-
ton he has chosen.

CULTIVATION OF CrNNAMoE. The cinnamon
department OF the island of Ccylon consists of
from $4,000 to $4,000 people, who form a sep
arate caste of their own, and who are altogeth-
err employed in the cultivation of the cinnamon
tree, (laurus cinnamomum) and in preparing
the bark of that tree for the market. The ex-
portation of this article from Ceylon frequent
ly amounts to 5000 bales of so lbs. each bale.
Although the cinnamon grows wild in the
south and southwest parts Of the island, the
Dutch and English Governments have thought
it advantageous to have it cultivated in four or
FIVE large gardens; one of the largest of which,
called the Marandan, is close to Colombo.
From the bark of the cinnamon tree, the Gin
namon which is used for culinary purposes is
prepared, and also very fine oil, like the oil of
cloves, is prepared from the leaves, and the An
