MR. Slow DiscoURsBTH ON GRAVE
Torres. 'l'imelech. my son. said Mr..
Slow, shaking his head with oracular
and owllike profundily, 1T isn't well to
know too much, my boy, your father
never did-he knowed too much for that.
Thoughts is perplexin, and The human
mind, Bmeech. is too precious a thing
10 be worn out by friction. Don't abuse
the gifts Of mater, my son, cause naier's
one of 'em. she is. Don't investigate
anything new, my boy, cause there's a
thousand old things of more conse-
quence 10 look after, the first of v hich
is number one. New no,ions perplexes
the mind, dear-there's full enough fools
IN the world who like TO look arter such
things, without your troubling your
precious head about 'em-iwouldn't be
cent Of benefit to you. Cali 'em all
humbug aud moonshine, and them as
believes 'em lunatcs and scoun drels,
and that will save you good many dis
cussions, and give you character for
dignity and prudeuce. and prudent folks
make money. Philosophy and scions
and them things is humbugs, and every
thing is huwbpg but money. Mind, |
tell ye. Mr.. Slow ceased, overcome by
his own eloquence.

From the London Punch.
From John Thomas, in Paris.
Yang Doo, Re,o Rirer Paris, December 3, ls5

Q, Mary Ann o, Mary Ami
Well may you bless your stars,
YOU'RE living in quiet land,
Away from Coodyiars.
You'd never snccr at homo, and wish
That you was here instead,
If you only knew what Ictiy pnngs
Isl Frcnchman's daily bread.
oh when I think what foolish folk
This city do contain,
can't quite fathom why it's calrd
Department Of the Sane.
They've been and filled the streets with troops
With Marshal Lor to lead 'cmi
And you may guess them soldiers take
Great liberties with freedom.
For twixt the Assembly and the Prince
There's been final fight,
And he has changed the Law Of May
Into the Law of Might.
Long while, it seems, these silly men
Did nothing but dispute;
But finding talk did no good,
Resolved TO have Mu,e.*
So at the house of Mister Bnzc
The foolish plotcrs met
We've got green Bnzc Mt home you know
But none so green. as YETI
Their schemes the Prince don't .cll us yet,
For fear VIC should abhor en-;
Bnt says they meant to break the law,
And So he broke it for 'em.
And one John Darms they sent to seek
The plottcrs far and nenr;
And took en- all away in vans,
With bag'ncts in their rear.
And Tears, the cause OF all his woe,
He managed TO secure
And sent him safe away TO Ham,
His wicked tongue 10 cure.
And then 10 lessen our alarm,
He made Proclamation,
A bidding all the army rise
And calm our hagitation.
"Thcse fellows said you should be slaves
." say you shan't," sez he;
And I've got fifty thousand men,
Who'll frce YOU 10 Le free"
Now what will he the hend of this
There's no one here can tell
For some folks think they'll make the Prince
An mpcror as well.
For isn't he as good" ;hoy say.
"As him we had bcfors'
If he was NAPOLEON,
This ones Louis Dor"
Some thinks the Socialists will rise
And end his troubled days;
And send him in chnsc and pair
Away to pare Ia shays.
Some wish the Orlines party back,
Some hope they may miscarry,
And in their love for Henry Sink,
Quite sink the Count dc Parry.
But MS for me I've seen enough,
Nor longer wish to roam,
And while they make so free abroad,
I'll be a slave at home.

Education of Idiots.

The giving Of rational mind to persons
born in idocy s a matter more difficult than
The resiora ton Of reason TO Ihe insane. And
yet experiments made upon large scale
have shown that it is not in all cases n hope,
less undertaking. Several institutions in
Europe have been successful in the enter-
prise, TO an encouraging extent; and, more
recently, like institutions have been put in
operation here. The director orlh insiilu
ton in Berlin, Mr.. Saegert, proceeds on the
assumption that the idiot has mind equal 10
others at birth; but the mind is obslructed
in its growth, because deprived of communi-
cation with external objects, through The
biuntness ofthe senses, Now, ifany means
can be found to wake the dormant senses, or
any one of them, an avenue can be found
to the mind through them, foi its education.
Instruction of the idiot, then, first begins BY
an effort 10 call some ofhs senses into acliv.
~, He is brought within the hearing of
music. If he is attracted BY -ifhe shows
a CLEAN of pleasure--ihen the music is re-
peaied. till his interest is aroused, and so
one point is gained. Others are found to
care nothing for music, but are attracted by
pictures and gay color.. Others become
Interested in simple games. BY great pains
they are brought 10 tx attention u pom some
thing, and TO do something with regularity.
