[For the Literary Echo.
Liberality Of Mind.

1t seems to be the portion of some
men to be extremely opinionative and
their opinions, from whatever source de-
rived, whether from their own reflections
or the suggestions of others, are soon
c,st with dogmatic rigidity into an un-
yielding shape, instead of being warmly
held in hand for review, examination,
correction aud enlargement, from study,
observation and experience.
There are, however, two ways in
which narrow and illiberal mind may
develop and manifest itself. 1t hastily
adopts the opinions of others and servile-
ly follows them, or else it rashly, boast
fully and proudly sets itself up as the
true and only standard Of truth. But
he who pursues either of these courses
does violence to the foblest principles Of
of his nature; he narrows down and
hedges in that largeness, that true CATH
olicism, that fraternity Of thinking and
of feeling, which is the noblest element
of mans social nature. He that makes
his own or the opinions Of his party the
standard by which all men and all
measures are to be tried, is like pro-
fessed geographer, who, standing in a
narrow valley, beyond which he has
never travelled, forms his notions of the
whole world, while quite enveloped with
the mists and smoke of his little native
village. The true geographer, on the
contrary, pronounces not until he has
acquired universal and consistent view.
To secure large, liberal and correct
views, and to patiently cultivate gener-
! GUS and catholic feelings should be the

twenty pages of letter press, with four
full page plates. The reading matter is
rich and varied. Furthermore, Mr..
Cooley, the publisher, is gentleman in
his dealings with the press, which is
proof positive that he will be the same
in his dealings to subscribers, who
may always count on a fulfllment of,
promises made by him.

THE LITERARY ECHO, AND PAwcATUcK ADvERTIsER

PRoNouNcING NAMES" Call me as
I call myself" said gentleman once,
whose name had been villianously mis-
pronounced, "no matter how they spelt
it when they christened me-call me as
I call myself and am known, and I'll
answer" Some people are extremely
sensitive and fdgetty on this point, and
there are ludicrous incidents occasional
ly, in consequence. There are proper
names, which in ordinary parlance take
a very different pronunciation from
that which the letters composing them
would at first indicate. The name of
Taliaferro, for instance, is pronounced
through the South as though it were
"Tolliver - and others might be men
toned.
Mr.. Story, in the biography of his
father, the late Judge Story, gives us a
little anecdote of the latter, to this pur-
port. Once, while he was trying
case in the Circuit Court, in Boston, he
called out the name of one of the jury
as Michael Trefery Git being so spelt. }
No answer was given. Again he called,
and still there was silence.
cit is very strange" said the clerk,
A" I saw the man here not two minutes
ago."
"Where does he come from :" asked
the Judge.
"Marblehead, may it please your
honor" said the clerk.
IF that's the case," said the Judge,
4" let me see the list"
The clerk handed it to him.
He looked at it minue, and handing
back the list, said, "Call Mike 1re,ye,"
(throwing the accent on the last sylla-
BILE.
"Mikc Trevye," called the clerk.
"Here," answered gruff voice.
"Why did you not answer before :"
said the clerk.
/" Treffery is no way to pronounce my
said the juryman, my name is
Mike Trevye, as the Judge knows"
This reminds us of somewhat similar
incident at a military review, some years
since, in this county. The company
was drawn up in line, and an officer
began to call the roll. AS he proceeded
he came to the name of "Ebenezer
Mead" He called it-no answer
though the man supposed to own it, was
a few steps before him in the line.
"Ebenezer Mead !" exclaimed the officer
in louder voice. Still no answer.
Eb-en-e-zer Mead !" was again
thundered forth from the mouth of the
indignant officer, still louder than be-
fore.
There still being no answer, the officer
stepped pace or two forward
" Is there any Mead here 2"
"My name is Mead" replied one of
the men -" Eben Mead"
/" You rascal" continued the enraged
officer, " Why don't you answer, then,
when your name is called' I'll call it
once more Ebenezer Mead y"
There was still no answer.
You rascal, if you don't answer
when l call again, I'll have you court
martialed !"
Sir" replied the man, "my name
is Eben, and not Ebenezer Mean. Your
name, I believe, is Peter Read. Now,
would you answer if I should call you
PeterSneezer Read 2"
1t is unnecessary to say shat at the
next call, the officer gave Mr.. Mead his
true baptismal name.-Lo,oeU Cour.

country as compared with these of whole
mind. From this Report, we learn that
the researches Of the Commissioners,
appointed by the Massachusetts, Legis-
lature, show the surprising and lamenta-
BILE fact that, in 1861, there were
about twelve hundred idiotic persons in
the State of Massachusetts,. This, per-
haps would appear incredible, 'but for the
measures taken to verify it by minute
accurate research. In sixty-three coun-
try towns, containing an aggregate pop
ulation of one hundred eighty-fve thou
sand nine hundred forty-two inhabitants,
the names and ages of all idiotic persons
there found were carefully set down, and
the number amounted to three hundred
and sixty-one. Now, the inference is
inevitable, that, if the other parts of the
State contain, the same proportion, the
grand total will be fourteen hundred and
f(teen! But even admitting that other
towns do not.ssdesin as many in proper
ton as these sixty three, it is surely safe
to say that the number is over twelve
hundred
Will any one pretend to believe that
it is the Divine design, that there should
be one idiotic person to every thousand
of whole mind-(for doubtless this pro-
portion will hold good throughout this
section of country, at least amy more
than that there should always be so many
dumb, so many insane, so many cripples,
or so many abandoned vagabonds and
criminals as there are p? These things are
not in the order of nature, but in the order
of imperfect civilization. Not even such
crowd of paupers is for ever to encum-
ber the progress of the race, for it Is
surclyy not meant that the ills which We
now bear, and always have borne, must
be forever to cucumber the progress Of
the race-must be forever entailed upon
our children. No! these ills are to the
body social what aches and pains, hu-
mors and disorders, are to the body
physical-warnings that we have gone out
of the right way-whips and spurs to
urge us back into it. We would not
obey the plead;ngs of love, nor heed the
peltings of reproof, and so these hard
stones Of evil hit us, and bruise our
bodies, until we come down from our
pride, and seek pardon by humility and
well-doing.'
Much credit is due our sister State
for the move which she has made in this
glorious work of attempting to redeem
this truly unfortunate class from their
hitherto benighted way. We hope that
the success of this experiment will in
duce the Bay State to 60 on in the work
so well begun, and that Rhode Island
will strive to emulate so glorious an ex-
ample as the one before her.

School for idiots i'm MaSSa.
ChuSettS.

We have been deeply interested in
the perusal of the "Third and Final
Report of the Experimontal School
for Teaching and Training Idiot:c
Children also, the First Report of the
Trustees of the Massachusetts, School
for Idiotic and Predetermined Youth, !"
which has been sent us. This is a re-
port made by DR.. S. G. Howe, Presi-
dent of the Massachusetts School for
Idiotic and Predetermined Youth, to
his Excellency, George S. Boutwell,,
Governor of Massachusetts,.
1t seems, by an act of the Massachu-
setts Legislature, approved May s,
ls4s, twenty-five hundred dollars year,
for three successive years, was appro-
priated for the founding of an expert
mental school to test the practicability
of teaching idiotic Children class Of
unfortunates who have hitherto been
considered in this country as teyond the
reach of the most Jealous educator s
skill, and almost beyond the reach Of
human sympathy. They have been
condemned as worthless and incapable
of improvement and the law required
their removal from the only place where
they were comfortable, the Lunatic Asy
lums, whenever it was necessary to make
room for the less unfortunate insane, anC
it sent them, not to another asylum, bu
to the houses of correction. There wa!
not, throughout this whole continent
any systematic attempt to lift them W
out of their brutishness. Even where
the maniac was made to 80 clad ant
kept in mental quiet-where the blin'
were taught to read, the mute to speak
yea ,and even the blind mute to do both
even there the poor idiot was left Il
: that deterioration which certainly fol
lows neglect. He had but little talen
given him, and by neglect or abuse tha
little was lost, until growing more an
: more british, he sank, unregretting an
Q unregrettcd, into an early grave, with

of sadness and despair. BY this expeI

, even idiots are not beyond the educator

SARTAIN's UNION MAGAZINE, for
May, is a beautiful number, in both
the letter press and the pictorial depart
ment. 1t seems to be the aim of the
publisher of this magazine to make each
successive number an improvement on
its predecessor This is not simply an
ornamental work which is worth nothing
but for the establishment but the
reading matter is valuable. In order to
increase their claims on the public, We
see that the publishers have made ar
rangements with the popular writer, j.
T. Headley, to furnish monthly series
of articles upon the Heroes of American
History. The series will commence
with pictorial Life of General jackson,
in the July number. If further induce
ments are necessary for receiving SUBJ
scriptions, we refer our readers to the
advertisement in another column.
The North BRITIsH REVIEW, for
February, has been issued by Leonard
Scott & Co , 79 Fulton Street, N. Y.
From hasty glance, we set it down as
first rate number, and promise our
selves much pleasure in its perusal. The
following is its table of contents -
