LECTURES ON CmME.-On Sunday
evening a lecture on Crime was deliv-
cred by the Rev. Charles Spear, OF
Boston. editor Of the Prisoners Friend,
at the Unitarian Churcn. The speaker
stated distinctly the great objects Of his
mission he wished TO enlist the pulpit,
the press and the Legislature. He
would have in every penal institution
where women are i'm nured in prisons,
an efficient nation ; some work in the
cells, or in workshop erected for the
purpose he would also have n we'll
selected Library. Mr.. Spear alluded
TO his labors IN the past and earnestly
plead that more attention might be CIV
en- tqa work which he believed was
sanctioned by the great Teacher sent
from heaven. We think that the ad-
dress enlisted many friends TO the
cause.
The address on Monday evening on
the same subject, at the Hall of the
Ocean House, was by Mrs. &. S. Brown.
Ii has been well spoken Of, and we be-
lieyc that her laudable efforts in this
benevolent department oil labor will Sc
cure deeper interest IN the cause.

John finding his theory thrown back

WILLIAM 5. EPPERsoN, Edit o R
u hat is EsespectnEiIitY.

To judge from the conduct and ideas of some
person among both sexes, respectability consists
in driving fast horses, wearing rich aces, drink
ing champagne, or idling away lile To cut
a figure il society, on the prominade, or at a wa.
ering place, appears to be tbe sole aim of many
women, who surely were born for bette. things
To cultinte mustache, support a "two forty"
trotter, q act as model exhibitor of coats for
some hshianable tailor, seems to be the con
ception of dignifed and respectable career
formed by not few of tue men.
Now, being respectable, in either man or wo-
man, is, to our notioas doing what is duty. The
poorest peBon, evenin what is considered pop
uarity, the humbiestavocation who pays his
debts, obeys the law, and fulfls his other oblga-
tons 10 society and to his fellow creatures, is
thousand times more respectable than the wealthy
ldler the educated spendtArift, the Gallons miser
or the fashionable fool. So the modest female,
whether seanstress, book-folder, press tender
storekeeper or even house servant is, In the true
sense of the word, infinitely more respectable
than the exrayagant wife who is running her
husband, than the thoughtlesr votary of fashion,
than The butterfly firt. In a word, worth, not
wealth, constitutes respectabihty.
Again. lis what really is, not what merely
seems to be respectable, that men of sense honor
as such The millionaire who has obtained
wealth by knayish practices, though he may creep
through the meshes of the law. cannot escape the
indignant verdict of an honest public; he may
give grand dinners, drive snowy equipage, in
habit a palace, and even subscribe ostentatiously
10 benevolent Purposes; yet, with all his outside
gliding, people recognize the rottenness within.
and from the summit OF his splendor trace back
the Shiny track BY which he rose. Such man,
let him do what he win, can never become re
spectacle. A gulfas wide as that between Dives
and Lazarus, separates him from the esteem of
the good. So also the low minded in all pursuits
those cruel and unfeeling towards their fellow
men, charatans of every hue, hypocrites, dema-
gogues, toades, sharpers, and all others of sim
liar kind, cannot be respectable Pinchback never
yet passed long for gold. Or, as the old proverb
has it, ''you cannot make silk purse out Of a
sow's ear"
As TIE people ore generally what habit readers
them, it is for the young these remarks are meant
The old cannot be cured. If theyare shams now,
shams they will remain; nothing, alasi can ever
make them respectable. But the young have yet
their habits to form. Let them take high stand
ard, and become truly respectable.
The Yazoo Democrat., 1853-11-30

TRIUMPH OF LEARNING.-Mind constitutes the
majesty of man-virtue his true nobility. The
tide of improvement which is now flowing
through the land like another Niagara, is destined
TO roll on downward to the latest posterity; and
it will bear, the, on its bosom, our virtues. our
vices, our glory or our shame, or whatever else
we may transmit as an inheritance. It. then, in
a great measure, depends upon the present, wheth-
er the moth of immortality OF ignorOnce and lux
ury shall prove the overthrow of the republic;
or knowledge and virtue, like pillars, shall sup
port her against the whirlwind of war, ambition,
corruqtion and the remorseless tooth of time.
Give your children fortune without education,
and at least one half of the number will 60 down
to the tomb of oblivion-perhaps to ruin. Give
them education, and they will accumulate for
tunes; they will be fortune to themselves and
to their country. It is an inheritance worth
more than gold-forit it buys true honor-they can
never spend nor lose it, and through life it proves
a friend-in death, consolation.
