The EfSct of Poverty an the .ntHd.

Dr.. CHArN,Nc ,hus scnsibly describes tn
narrowing and depressing eject OF poverty q
the Intellectual powers.
The condition of the poor Is unfr!endIy g
the action and unfolding of the inteIiect, ana
sore calamity TO a RATIONAL being. Ia most
men,. indeed, the intellec, is narrowed ~ ex.
elusive cares for the body. In most the con-
seriousness Of lis excellence is crushed by me
low uses 10 which 1t is perpetually doomed
But still in most, degree of activity IS given
to the mind, BY the variety and extent o. 'neIr
plans for wealth or substance. The oodiiy
wants of most carry them in measure mo
the future, engage them in enterprises fequll-
| inp invention, sagacity and skill.
It is the unhappiness Of the poor tha1 iney
| are absorbed 10 immediate wants IN providing
| for the passing day, in obtaining the next meal
or throwing off present burden. According.
" their faculties : live and move, OF pine and
Derish.' in the present moment. Hope and
| ina gnatioI, the wings of the soul, carrying
| it forward and upward, languish IN the poor !;
| for the future is uninviting. The darkness OF
the present broods over coming years. Inc
great idea, which stirs upin other men a word
ofthought, the idea of a better lot has almost
| faded from the poor mans mind. He almost
ceases to hope for his children as well as him.
self.
Even parental love, the chief quickener OF
The intellect, stagnates through despair.
This Poverty staryes the mind. And there IS
! another way in which it produces this effect
particularly worthy Of notice. The poor have
no society beyond their own class; that is, be-
yond those who are inclined to their own nar-
| row field of thought. We all know that tit is in
| contact with the more active and soaring. from
which intellect receives its chief impulse
| Few Of us could escape the paralyzing infin-
| cnce of perpetual intercourse with the uncul-
tivated, sluGgis.'a, and narrow-minded; and
here we see what particularly wish to bring
TO view, how very poor is the boosted ciyiii-
cation of our times which is built SO much up
on an idea Of property. In communities lit
| lie advanced in opulence, no impossible barri-
er separates different classes as among our
| selves. The least improved are not thrown
TO distance from those who through natural
endowment or peculiar excitement, think more
strongly ,han the rest; and why should such
lfdiyision exist any where? How cruel and
unchristan are the pride and prejudice which
form the enlightened into a caste, and leave
the ignorant aud depressed to strengthen and
/ propagate prejudice and error without end

T IA Il
WooL-GRowING IN WIscoNsIN.-Gov. Doty
in his message to rhe Legislature of Wiscon-
sin, makes the subjoined wise suggestions for
the encouragement Of wool-growing. We
trust that his recommendation may be acted
upon by the Legislature Of our own Territory,
as il is folly as applicable to Iowa, and quite as
desirable that her staples should be increased !:
g For the purpose Of encouraging the growth
of wool, would respectfully recommend that
a law be passed to exempt all sheep and their
fieeces from taxation for term of years; and
that such other provision as is required may
be made, that wocl may soon become one of
the staple productions of Wisconsin. The
cost of the transportation Of pound Of wool
to New York or Boston is but little more than
a pound Of aonr, pork beef wtrile It's valao
is five times greater than either. seie q
cit is well ascertained that the sheep which
are fed upon high prairies, increase in size
and improve in health, and that their heeces
are more weishiy than those Of sheep, which
are confined to the pastures of the eastern and
middle states. The extensive and rich prai-
ries ofthe Wisconsin River and its branciles,
and upon which there is now 70 prospect Of
settlements being formed, we may expect, if
the proper encouragement is given, will be
occupied in few years with nocks Of sheep
capable of supplying ali of the manufactures
OF WOODEN goods in the United States with
wool. +"
