From the North American Review

AA44cbSVASDs
Besides the Gymnasium and palses
ira, where the youth were trained tc
vigorous exercises and sports,-a sys-
TEN sustained in Sparta at the public
expense, and compulsory on evry citi.
zen,-there were various games, like
the Olympian, to arouse the most EN-
ulation between both individuals and
states, and to reward proficiency in ply
steal culture with the most brilliant and
coveted honors. The simple crown OF
oak or pine leaves, set on the brow OF
the victor, was hailed as a symbol OF
renoWn all over Greece, and almost
stood for Immortality of fame; while both
beauty and letters lent their presence
and charms to these state occasions, the
poet reading his lyric or epic, and the
historian his world-enduring narrative
before the assembled thousand of their
countrymen at the great games.
Some Of the old Astatic nation were
not wholly devoid of physical discipline
as part Of their education, and even
among the rude tribes of North Ameri-
ca the young warrior was early trained
by diligent exercise to hurl the spear
and bend the bow adroitly. Xenophon
in his Cyrop@dia, in describing the Per
sian education, says:
"The boys who frequent the public
places of instruction pass their time in
learning justice; and tell you that they
go for that purpose, as those with us,
who learn letters, tell you that they go
for this purpose. -. They learn, be-
sides, to shoot with the bow, and to
throw the javelin. These things the
boys practise till they are sixteen or
seventeen years of age; then they enter
the order Of youth. 49,. The tribes that
remain at home pass their time in prac-
Using the things they learned while they
were boys, III shooting with the bow and
throwing the javelin. These they con
tinue, exercising in emulation, one a.
gainst another, and there are public
games in these kinds, and prizes set
1t was in such a discipline that Cyrus
the Great, the hero of Xenophon's his
torical romance, was trained, and taught
as9the two most princely accomplish
ments, to speak the truth and hurl the
jayelin. This may seem to be a rather
meager programme Of education in our
days of numerousan and distractingstudies
but whatever Of dignity materially as
sociates itself with the name of Persian
in history is derived in no small measure
from these two elements Of moral and
a physical atheism both Of which we
have, perhaps, too much lost from sight
in our oyerWeening devotion to intellec-
tual power.

Negro Equality and Compan onshin

Negro Equality and Compan onship.
The Richmond South ofJuly 8, in an
article repelling the suggestion that
Virginia regards the GulfStates merely
as profitable market for her slaves saws:
1.-The cotton States may rest assured
that Virginia has no reason to value
slaves as a mere merchantable commo-
dity. They possess with US far higher
value. Orr SiaCes are oar cO21a11a7aio3as
and friends, e,ade0red to as 6g ties and
associations achich qoe cannot su3a0e,. to
gain pecuniary wealth from our South
ern brethren; and we will not estimate
our alliance with the Slave States by its
value in dollars. We have long known
the true value Of political and social al
liances, and they are not to be decided
by moneyed obligations. We believe
that it is far better for us to retain oaIq,
s50oes, and rear our children in slave
holding community, than to rid our
selves OLA great blessing, by petty
trade, however gainful." :.
Passing by, for, the present, the SUI
perlative impudence Of such language
from a4State winch sells twelve thou
sand slaves every year, and of whose
exports slaves constitute, beyond all
comparison, the largest item; what

A New IDEA The Rochester Dem

he proposes to put into practice on the
occasion Of the State Fair at Syracuse.

small house, say about ten feet square,
and capable of containing with comfort
four or five persons, which, with its oc-
cnpants, is to be. sitting beneath his
large balloon "Star of the West,'' and
taken up to the clouds. In order to
give the balloon necessary power, it is
to be greatly enlarged from it's present
dimensions, and Mr.. Steiner thinks that
the house may be constructed of mate
rial light enough to make the plan per-
fectly feasible, and easy to put into ex-
ecution.
