The Alpine horn is all instrument made

sounds to great distance. When the last
rays Of the sun gild the summit, of the
Alps, the shepherd who nbabits the
highest peak Of those mountains, takes
his horn, and cries with loud voice,

neighboring shepherds hear him, they
leave their huts and repeat the words.

In each nation, although there were pro-

provement among the citizens al large,

condary to the grand object, there was no
general dissemination Of learning.
In our day we have gone to the very
opposite extreme. We watch the child

we put its helpless little body in the stocks.
leaving it to waste away under its torture,
while the mind is tasked, overloaded and
necessarily urged forward by all the steam
power OF modern machinery, invented TO
produce precious Development Of intel
lect. The result is that we now rear
ghosts, not men. Our schools, acade.
mics and colleges, exhibit a pale puny and
sickly race OF children and youths, who
look like emigrants from the land Of
shadows. The error Of the ancicnls was
not more gross than ours.-The only diff
ference is that they went to one extreme
and we 60 TO the other.
We can never have perfect system Of
education until we can hit upon the proper
medium between these two extremes.
The health and strength Of the body, the
power and vigor Of the mind are SO mu-
mally dependent upon each other that
neither can be safely neglected. The exc
cess Of mental exerlion now required Of
the children and youth in our schools de-
feats its own object, which is TO produce

cal powers. In negIecting the latter and
leaving them to fall into decay and weak

formcr.-As general rule the body must
be kept in a state Of health and vigor, IN
order to allow a fair and full develope.
ment of the intellectual faculties.
1t is, no doubt, somewhat difficult
and delicate task TO discover and follow
the proper line between the two extremes.
We trust however, that il will yet be
found At any rate, we are lar enough
from it now. We ought 10 make every
effort to approximate as near to il as pos
sble.-And to this end our children
should not be put to the torture in the
school room at so early all age as they
now are, and our schools should all make
manly exercise Of the body part of their
system of education.

Education, "a futul md Physical.

All ages of the world, pas, and present,
seem to have failed Of carrying into effect

proper equilibrium between tho powers
of the mind and the body. Every age
boasts of its own advancement. and its
own theories. bu, in this respect all are
found alike deficient, at one time going to

Dignity Of Labor.

This was the subject chosen Ivy Col. WENT
WORTH for lecture which he recently delivered
hcfore the Mechanics Institute Of Chicago, and
have derived from the reading of it, both pleasure
and instruction. and it is due to Col. w. to say
that it it production Of no common order. The
Colonel takes Just view of the true and exalted,
yet unappreciatcd dignity Of honest labor, and is
uncommonly caustic and severe on the contempt
bic mushroom aristocracy Of our land that affects
to dcspise it. The lecture is too long for inser-
ton in our columns entire, yet we are sure our
readers will I've pleased with following extract
from it, which will give them an idea of the cha
racter of the whole production:
There is no aristocracy of blood in our
country, rs we see members of the same
family scattered through all the various
gradalions of society. There is none of
wealth, since we find the rich and poor
mingling promiscuously in every associa-
ton, and bankrupts ofiener take the lead
in our fashionable circles than any other
class. None of character, since the good
and evil are confuscdly intermiXed in
every days intercourse. And yet all will
acknowledge that we have an aristocracy,
proud, intolerant. supcrciious and over
bearing. And that is the only aristocracy
that burs our national cscutcheon-that
only self-styled upper class" Its pro-
minent and distinctive doctrine is, that all
labor is disgraceful, and its scale of re-
spcct is graduated entirely by the amount
of manual labor which ones necessities,
taste or health may compel him 10 perform.
Between their condition and that of the
common operative, they consider there
lies dread abyss upon even the banks of
which they would consider il sacrlege to
tread. Their main study is to enjoy all
the honors, emolumen,s and luxuries of
life without enduring any Of its burthens.
And. II stern necessity, or pinching po-
verify, or an exhausted credit compel them
to even temporary labor, they are very
private about it, as If it were a crime !;
and, if detected in it, they make a very
polite apology, "oving TO The sickness Of
their serUanfs," &c. The same pride OF
aristocracy of feeling makes the young
lady, whilst engaged in domestic avoca-
lions. send word to friend calling upon
her that "she's not at home" The same
feeling opens the front door to the dry
goods clerk but the back door to the me-
chanic's apprentice Of equal age, talents
and character. II makes some ladies OBJ
ject 10 gen.lemen's wearing gloves in a
ballroom lest they may dance with hard
listed mechanic without knowing il and
so bring disgrace upon their fathers
family. II makes some persons resort to
suicide and the pois onous bowl when they
have lost their property and see that hor.
rible monster, hard labor. staring them il,
the face. The disgracefulness Of manual
labor, in their own eyes, drives them to
desperation. And here I will relate ar
anecdote az illustrating the evil Of which
] complain and which every philanA,ro,
pist should endeavos 70 root out.

"LOVE NOT THE WORLD

This world is full of trouble,
But it will not always last,
For our lite is but bubble
On the stormy pillows cast;
And the stream of time is bearing
Every earthly thing away
Let us pass on without caring
What wicked world may say.
Why should we be melancholy,
Though foul SANDER stains our name,
When we know the wise and holy
In all ages shared the same.
Such trials and vcxations
TO the wisest have been given.
To increase their faith and patience
And to raise their hearts to heaven.
If this world was always pleasant,
We might give it all our love,
And. con,ented with the present,
Never raise our thoughts above.
Let us welcome every tria!
That will make us love it less,
And, in patient sell-dcnial,
Let us seek true happiness.
Let us arm our souls with patience,
To arrest each poisoned dart,
And endure life's trihula,ions
With an humble, patient heart;
For meek and quiet spirit
Is a bright and precious gem,
Adjoining those who wear it
Like royal diadcm.
Let US fearlessly endeavor
To do what we know is right.
And. throughout Iifc's journey, ever
Keep the end of life in sight,
That each day, as it is flying,
MAY record some deed of love,
That will make us feel, when dying,
That we have a home above.
While we tread this vale ofsorrow-
While we drink LIES bitter cup,
For bright and glorious morrow,
Let US look with patient hope;
For we know there is better
And brighter world than this,
Where, released from every fetter,
We may find true happiness.
This world, with all its troubles,
Like dream, will pass away,
And pleasures airy bubbles
Will but sparkle for day.
But there are eternal treasures
For the righteous kept in store,
And high and holy pleasures
That will last forevermpre. L.

Sharks.

The nOblest game Tor the deep sea-an-
gler is the shark /; and there is towards
the conquest of this fish, the same feeling
as towards similar triumph over the
tiger-an exutation; qualification to
think that mankind has been relieved from
a mons,er-that one tyrant less is in ex-
is,ence. The excitement among a ships
watch when one of these fish is hooked,
makes them, for the time, almost regard
less of discipline and when he is hauled
on board, the cry and JOY with which
they hurry "John Shark" as they term
him, to his fate, shows that they rejoice
over cruel enemy's fall. The shark is
seldom seen by those on ship board. ex-
cept either during calm, or when the
vessel does not make more way through
the water than one or two knots an hour.
He makes occasionally delours round the
ship but aslern, and mostly in the very
wake of the vessel, is the position he
maintains. He appears, as looked down
opon from the ships deck in shape like
that of the cod; but he is Of = greenish
brown color, and his fins are tipped with
white. There are two species-lhe COM
mon, or round-headed, and the blue, or
botte-nosed. Each is savage and vora-
ciOus, but the worst, where both are bad,
is said TO be the last named. Ii is certain
that this is usually larger than the other,
but il is more rarely met with. An ex-
traordinary circumstance connected with
the shark, is its being invariably attended
| by NUMBER have seen as many as a
dozen--of most beautiful fish, varying in
size from from that of herring to that OF
mackercl. These are called pilot fish,
from the popular belief that they guide
the shark to his prey; but believe that
this is popular delusion, similar to that
which obtained for the jackal the title Of
the lions provider. This arose from the
jackal being always found in the vicinity
of the king Of the forest, when he was
deyouring his prey. Better information
now teaches, that the jackal, on such oc
casions, comes to profit by the Others lea
wings; and so ] think the pilot-fish at
tends upon the shark, for the sake of feed
ing upon the fragments he scatters aroun'
when tearing his prey to pieces. The,
arc most sprighty, elegant fish, bande'
circularly with alternate stripes of whit
and vivid purple, and dart about the mon
sler's head in such evident security tia
no effort he might make would enabl
him to catch them, and they are the mos
sedulous in picking UP any piece tina
may seperate from tho bait employed Il
lure the shark, or tina, may be thrown i
for their benefit, and which are too sma
to attract the monsters notice. No soon
er is he hooked, and demonstrates by hi
struggles his sense OF danger, than his II
tie attendants betray, by their confuse
and af'rightcd motions, that they are pal
takers Of his fears and The instant he
completely taken from them, they dar
r away and are seen no more.
