ence the school grew worse apace; the
children appeared to love fighting bettel
than study, and were engaged in the for
mer quite as often as 10 the latter, and
that, too, in the school room The
scholars complained Of abuse, and the pa
rents besought the proper authority for a
change of masters. An investigation took
place, and, strange 10 say, the teacher did
mol lack defenders. Christian men were
not wanting, who declared that without
AOgging it would be impossible to govern
any school, least of all one composed OF
c0lored children. Like the old woman,
who protested that 10 take away her total
depravity would be 10 destroy her reIi-
gion, they contend that to put aside the
ferule and the bastinado would be sure to
bring nothing but chaos. The crueIties
of the master underwent a whilewashing
from the Committee of Investigation, and
the hearts of parents and children were
ready 10 sink with despair. They perse-
vered, till at length the obnoxious teacher
was removed.
Then came up the question who should
take this School, contessedly the worst in
Boston. The place was solicited by a
young man, in whose heart was an all per-
vading faith in the power of Kindness to
control the hayward and the disobedient.
So strong was his conviction that God was
mightier than Evil, that he sought a place
In this School, rather than any other be-
Cause it was universally regarded as the
worst in the city /; and he wished the ex>
pertinent of governing children by the
power of Love 10 be tried under clrcum-
stances which would serve TO make the
result as impressive as possible. 1t was
in August last that Mr.. Ambrose Yelling
ton, the young man 10 whom we aIIude,
entered the School, as lis teacher. Nor
ONE OF HIS SCHOLARS HAS HE STRUCK A
BLOW rom THAT A TO II PRESENT.
BY these gentle means only, which are in
strict conformity to his grand ideas o.
Moral Influence, in distinction from
Physical Force, has he sought to control
The actions of those under his charge
And what has been the result? In the
first place. his kindness won for him the
warm affection and confidence Of his
Scholars and, when these had been Sc
cured, the grand obstacle TO the complete
success of his experiment was removed.
The fights and brawls, which were COM
mon under the old system, grew less and
less frequent-children gradually acquir.
ed a better control of their passions-tilI
at length a healthy sentiment in favor of
good order and diligence in study, per-
vaded the school. The hardest boys
were subdued to gentleness by the for
bearancc of their Teacher: and won to
the Path of virtuous emulation, by his
deep interest in their welfare. The
change in The aspect Of the school is said,
by those who have Witnessed it, 10 be
wonderful indeed.

yhy Brother.

Though poor, ragged and degraded,
the outcast is thy brother still. Why shun
and despise him! In years past, a kind
admonition-a pleasant word-migh!
have saved him. Yet you refused 10 coun.
sci him and passed by him scornfu!Iy.-
Now he is a wreck Of his former self
His ambition is destroyed, his energy is
lost, and his heart is stepped in vice
There was a time, it may be, when his
eye was placed on virtue and his feet were
turned from destruction. That moment a
look from you decided his fate. The lip
Of scorn was curIed-contempt was ex-
pressed, and away be urged his steps 10
ruin. II is not a pleasant reflection |
might have saved a soul from vice and liz
fanny, yet | refused
Ye who have been remiss in duty, who
have not cared when a brother erred and
persisted, awake to new life and be not
slack in the performance of duty. 1t is
not too late {; scores may yet be saved by
your lud;cious edorts--your counse|s-
your tears-your afectionate hearts and
open hands. A kiss is better than a blow,
a tear more efIectual than a kick-an OPP
en- hand far preferable 10 a cIinched fist -
Kindness is a moral lever, judiciously
used. that will move the world and raise
it TO life, light and joy.

statements in relation 10 one OF our city

PROSPECTS OF THE WOOL MARKET

As the time for sheep shearing is now
approaching, we have taken some pains
TO ascertain the opinions Of dealers, and
Others acquainted with the subject, as TO
the prospects OF wool for the coming sea-
son. From the increased consumption of
the last year, and the expectation of fully
five thousand bales Of native wool to Eu-
rope, it was apprehended the stock might
be exhausted before a new supply could
be furnished from the coming crop. This
feeling has now entirely ceased, for altho'
the stock in this and the eastern market is
small, as is usual at this period of the
year, 1t is still sufficient for the wants Of
manufacturers, most tot whom have enough
10 aeep them employed till the new crop
comes in.
The question is now conclusively Set
tied, that the production of wool has be,
come so great in This country, that we
shall have a considerable surplus for ex-
portation; and hence the price of the whole
clip will, in IA great measure, be reguIat.
ed by its value in foreign markets and
we believe, from the best data We have
been able 10 obtain, that most OF the wool
which has been shipped during the past
season, has not produced any profit TO the
shipper. but, on the contrary, a loss. We
therefore, think that prices will rule some
" hat lower in this market during the
coming year, than during the past. This

s. E E II
Of Mr.. Marsh, of Vermont,
ON II BILL FOR ESTABLISHING
THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION,
Delivered in the House of Representatives of the
U, States, April %, 1916.
PREDATORY Note.

Inc history OF the Smithsonian Fund is
briefly as follows James SmitbsoD, o.
London, who died at Genoa, several wears
since, bequealhed tbs revision of his whole
estate 10 the United States of America, 10
" found at Washington, under the name O.
Smithsonian institute, an establishment, for
the increase and diffusion of knowledge
among men,"
The bequest was communicated to Con-
gress, by the President, on the 18th Of
December, 1885, and was accepted by
Congress, by an act approved July Isl,
1896, pledging "the faith of the United
States " to the due application Of the fund
to the purposes oflhe boquest.
On the lst of September, 1888, the pro-
ceeds of the estate, amounting to $685.
3I6 46, we're paid into The United States
Mint, and, by authority of Congress, were
invested in State stocks, principally Of the
State of Arkansas.
The bill reported by the Special Com
mittee, at the present session, provides for
expanding the interest already accrued in
buildings and other accommodations for
the Institutions, and for a~pproprialing the
interest to accrue hereafter 20 the purposes
indicated in The following remarks.
The House being in Committee of The
Whole, and having under consideration
The bill for establishing Iho Smithsonian
Institution
Mr.. MARSH, Of Vermont, after some
preliminary observations, said: | agree,
Mr.. Chairman, with those who doubt
whether it was entirely wise in the Con-
gress of the United States to accept the
munIicent bequest of Mr.. Smithson.-
Were the question now first presented, |
should hesitate. Not tina, | deny or even
doubt the power of Congress to ad minis
ter this charity, but | should question the
propriety of assuming a trust, which :here
is 100 much reason to fear we shall not
discharge in such a manner as 10 give The
fullest effect 10 the purposes Of the en-
Iightened donor. The history of this be,
quest confirms these scruples. 1t is now
nearly ten years since Congress, by a
solemn act, assumed the trust, and pledged
" The faith of the United States " TO its
faithful execution. The money vas soon
after received, and Immediately passed out
of the hands of the Government, not ire
coverably, it is hoped, but it is, at all
now beyond our control, and no
Of it has been yet applied 10 the
ends oflhe bequest. The difficulties
which have thus far prevented the appl,-
cation Of the fund 10 its proper uses still
exist, and are of a character not likely 10
be removed. Our Government has 40
which can be conveniently
charged with the administration of the
charity, and must, therefore, begin with
he organization OF one for that special
purpose. 10 this incipient step, we meet
obstacles at every corner. Cues
ions are al once raised that are not yet
and are certainly in themselves of
no easy solution. How far can, how far
Congress to act in the direct con-
rot Of the charity-how far should it
specific what the will of the testator
