We do not intend to expose ourselves to the
charge of anility by suggesting that this will be
loves labor lost. We would not for the belt of the
champion Of the light weighfs-thst cestus which
makes radiant with beauty its bull-hesded posses
sor-ssy word TO ismpen the feelings of the sensi-
tive Aaron Jones in the very beginning Of his Co
lumbion career. We would not underrste the
glory Of the art OF creating men expressly for the
purpose of - smashing" them. We VIII not do
more than hint that Aaron would give more per-
msnent proofs OF his devotion TO mankind by eXer-
cisng his art in the manufacture OfsteyedOres, lump
ers, longshoremen and pOrters. But We suppose
that the culture OF these would be- science wasted.
In handling biz bales Of cotton. in propeling enor
nous puncheons, in graphing with the ponderous
crates We suppose that only snoble glories are To
be- won, and that il better becomes a giant to fall
upon aud eradicate another giant, than TO waste his
robustness in grinding corn for the heather. No far
from dissuadng Mr.. Jones from the exercise of
his beautiful calling, about Ia make sug-
ge-tion expressly csculsted, should it be acted up
on to remove his light from under a bushel. Why
should the noble, the brave snd the chivarOus,
when about to try the tug of war; sink into secret
corners snd travel by by-ways to the theater OF
their glory We have bold proposition to make.
Why should not these gssnt fellows engage the
Academy of Music Why should they not en-
counter each other in the presence OF lovely ladies'
and of polished gentlemen Why should not our
gentle danes acquire taste for the science, and
behold stout fellows belaboring each other, with
as much gusto as the blue-blooded fair of Madrid
witness the slaughter OF bulls Pugsm being
noble art, We protest against cutting of from its
refining Influences those who will best appreciate
the talents of its stslwart professors. ITO ladies'
"eyes round boys" might be played by the
orchestra: and then our Spartanized women might
gaze upon the mysteries of right and left, and the
msryels Of countering; might with silver voices
contend about " first blood" might cheer the war
rior as be "csme up smiling" and lisp their sweet
brayos as the punishment grew cruel

drops, dcdges, and strikes foul blows, but, in pr

from the bower of beauty snd the haunts OF refine

Aphrodite. He must be- recognized raised and
