N NTAL CULTU R E
BY CHARLEY.

The formation of the human mind, which is
the object of education to effect, is not like the
hammer of the smith working upon the irGn,
forming it agreeable to his will; or the chisel
of the artist upon the marble, forming 1t into
images of life, strength and beauty; and, as
writer on education has well remarked, 1T Is |
not affected by the application of forces dJ ertra,
acting mechanically upon the subject. 1t takes
place not by accretion from without, but by de-
velopment from within" 1t is the developer,
the unfolder aud perfeeter of those faculties
which are innate and co-natural TO man. This
development is accomplished by exercising the
different faculties upon their appropriate OBJ
iects. Different faculties require different OBJ
iects to stimulate them, in order that they may
grow, become fully developed, and attain per-
fection The discovery, that power of the
mental faculties may be increased, has been one
of great Importance; and if the benefits it be-
slows were properly appreciated, it would be
the greatest Of this age or any other. since
physical enjoyments are inferior to mental, as

coast Of the Pacific, whose tranquil waters
lave the shores of the Old World, will soon be
built marts that will rival those that have been
known for ages and ages gone. Our eastern
cities which now vie with those of Europe will
reap untold benefit from the early construction
of this king of roads; people who under pre-
sent circumstances, throng their thoroughfares
in quest of employment, will! go out theretrom,
and set up their industrial banner in the rich
alluvial vallies of the far west, and no more
send abroad their waling for bread and shelter
Thus the advantages will appear, one after
another, till the world shall take part in the
song Of our praise as a nation of wealth, sci
ence, industry and refinement.

BY WILLIE ASHTON.

In the enterprises in which the American
people have engaged during the few brief years
of their existence as a nation, we find much to
admire and praise. From one great improve
ment to another they have hurried, until they
have risen from the thirteen Colonies, contain
ing only three million of inhabitants to the
number of thirty-two States comprising over
twenty-five million of citizens, and at present,
though in her infancy, forms one Of the most
powerful and fourishing dynasties the world
has ever known. And this is not all-she not
only can boast of her power and her great ra-
pidity ofgrowth, but likewise of her high stand
in point of intellect and wealth. Besides her
present power and fame, she has much that is
yet to be--her mighty region of territory yet
uncutivated, and but imperfectly explored, is
yet to usher forth in unrivaled splendor and
leave a name for the historian to carve upon
the everlasting minute-book of time. From
these uninhabited lands is yet to spring up one
of the greatest examples of civilization and
agriculture that ever graced nations record
Now, even now, at this early period in the his
tory of American enterprise, there is IN contem
plation one Of the most monentous undertaking:
of which, as a reality, the world can conceive

Obstinate boys, other things being equal, make
the smartest men. What school-teacher of
Daniel Webster ever thought him the most in
tellectual youth under their charge, or would
have smiled if any had said that they saw in
him the rudiments of great man! Why was
he considered dull ! Simply because he would
let teachers put part of his mind in sling and
work the balance to death. system which
causes many bright stars to disappear from the
intellectual sky. And perhaps no faculty suf
fers so severely from this system as Individu-
aity, there being but little to excite this faculty
in school room hence should be cultivated
before a child is sent to school, for they have to
learn by it. An attempt to learn without the
cultivation of this faculty is like the deaf learn
ing music, or the blind selecting colors. A
child will learn more in one year after this ia
Guilty has become considerably developed and
he has acquired u love of study, than he would
in four times that period, if averse to it. Thus
you see that much evil is produced by sending
young children to school, and should be aban-
doned:
First. Because they do not make as rapid
progress in the acquisition of knowledge as
they could at home; at school, they generally
form dislike to study, which does, by far, more
harm than good; while, if properly instructed
at home-I mean trained to examine and inves-
tigate everything that comes under their mo-
tce-they would acquire love of study which
the chilling winds of adversely cannot suppress,
thirst after knowledge which eli the rivulets
! flowing from the fountain of knowledge cannot
slake, but would increase. as his head whitened
for the tomb; while those who form an aversion
to study when young, will find the river flow
ing from the fountain of knowledge difficult
one to ascend
Secondly. More healthy the body, the more
vigorous the mind and the growth of the body
and muscles are retarded by sending young
children to school, where they would have It
sit on a bench without any back, leaning for
ward, thereby injuring the spinal marrow,
part of the nerrOHS SyStem-and, of course, In
juriously eiecting both mind and body, by in
capacitating them for performing much menta

Winter, loved Winter, art thou surely gone!

Here's one who loves thee well as joyous

One whose affections gushing from her heart
mil Still fondly to thee cling.
Though with the balmy Spring, young Love

Her heart, and brought her buds of Joy and
Hope,
Old Winters fresides brought such hours OF
cheer
The tender flowers to Ope.
Some call thee harsh and ugly, and graybeard
Forgetting all the joys they've from thee
drawn,
Aaa'when sweet Spring, thy frolic child, ap-
r .... Bade thee, with haste, begone!
Gay Spring will bring US birds and bursting
flowers,
Aud open streams that Winters breath hath
chilled,
She'll bring blue skies and sweet refreshing
showers,

But one hearts memories will steal fondly bach
Through all the flowers and beams that MARI

to ourselves; she Is continental as we are; she
Is radically Protestant; and her constitution
was as conformable to the ideal of the time in
which she entered upon her position, as ours
agreed with the ideal of1789. Even in mat

us; she demands the abolition of the Sound
Duties, which is the main point of practical in
terest offered to ourselves by the present war.
VIII England maintain her present false po-

who now rule her will go out of power with
them. Now it was their policy that commen-

From the time that the mother binds the child's

therefore, who need aid have a right to ask it
of their fellow mortals; no one who holds the
power of granting can refuse it without guilt.
