Youth is represented by two boys,

of purpose. instruction inspires the
bcho|ders with its subject. The ardor
of youth is tempered BY the diligence
of labor The relativs position and
expression Of each of The figures of the
student and preceptor are admirably
conceived. Commerce conveys to the
mind Impressions far different from
those we have realized from the con-
temptation Of other representations of
this subject. A wise and thoughtful
man, who prehehds the ilnpor-
tance of bis relations to the world, is
seated, with the globe at his right,

of reference, and other memorials of
his profession around BIN. The man

Mechanic Arts are suggested by the
figure ola man ID a tecumbent posi-

wheel, and hammer held in his hand.
The form and attiudf are excellent,
and the head aud faee'nebIy expressive
Of independence, though selfreliauce,
intelligence, hope and energy. War,
also reveals to the beholder the purest
and most modern conception Firm
ness and justice, not, anger and fero-
city, are characteristics Of the chief
tain, whose hand is upon bis sword,
and whose every lineament 'bespeaks
The consciousness Of power, and the
forbearance of intelligence, reflection,

somewhat colossal proportions, the
warrior, the only one in standing
position. being eight feet in height.

CRUELTY AT ScHooL.--Two teach
ers have been arressed in Newbury-
port, charged with cruelty to their
scholars. In one case a little girl of
ten years Of age, for speaking out in
school, was called forward and punish
ed with ruler, the blow being re-
ceived on the wrist. 1t was afterwards
found that in consequence Of these,
blows one of her hands had become
powerless, and though several eminent
physicians have been called, no relief
has yet been obtained. The teacher
a0emale was taken before the Police
Court, and heid in $500 bail for fur
Their examination. In the other case,
a boy named George H. Pumer, son
Of Richard Plu,ncr, was beaten, as is
alleged, unjustiliably. The teacher
was however sustained by the School
Committee. She is under bonds for
trial hereafter. ~d's' ~.i.t @ao6

Power of Women in Turkey.

A man meeting woman in the street,
turns his head from her, as if it were for
bidden to look on her. They seem to de-
test an impudent woman, to shun and a.
void her.
Any one, therefore, among the Chris
tians who may have discussions of alterca-
tions with Turks, if he has a woman of
spirit or virago for his wife, sets her to
reyile and brow-beat them, and by these
means not unfrequcntly gains his point
The highest disgrace and shame would
attend a Turk who should rashly lift his
hand against a woman; all be can venture
to do is to treat her with harsh and con-
temptuous words or to march off.
The sex lay such stress on this privi-
lege, that they are frequently apt to iu-
dulge their passion to excess, to most uD-
reasonable in their claims, and violent and
irregular in the pursuit of them. They
will importune, teaze and insult a judge
on the bench, or even the yizier at his di-
van.
The officers of justice do not know how
to resent their turbulence; and it is gen.
eral observation, that to get rid of them,
they often let them gain their ause.-&r

Curious Statistics.

Some statistical genius declares that
"more money is expended in the United
States for cigars than for all the common
schools in the Union" A wag, who is
undoubtedly lover of the weed, seeing
this statement going the rounds of the
papers, gets of the following:
1t has been calculated that the cost of
washing linen, that might just as we'll be
worn two days longer, amounts to enough
in this conntry TO more than defray the
expenses of the American Board of
Foreign Missions.
The expense of buttons worn on the
backs Of our coats, where they are of no
earthly use, is equal to the snppOrt of all
orphan asylums.
The value of tails TO dress coats (of no
value in reality for warmth or convenience
is actually greater than the cost of our
excellent system Of common schools.
1t has been estimated that the value of
old boots thrown aside, which might have
been worn at least day longer, is more
than enough to buy flannel night gown
for every baby in the land.
Also, that the cost of the extra inch on
the tall shirt collars of our young men is
equal to the sum necessary to put the
Bible into the hands of every one of the
Patsgonian giants.
