PHYSICAL EDUCATIoN.

An able writer expatlating on The we'll
established truth that intellectual culture,
carried on without sufficient bodily exercise,
will very soon of itself run down the finest
original constitution, especially il commenced
too easly in life, refers TO some interesting
facts by way of illustration, to which we would
call the attention Of our readers.
Every year, he says, we perceive the evl-
dences Of increased inattention to all sorts oi
means for the renovation Of the physical con-
sttutIon in our large cities. In Boston, where.
twenty years ago, hardly child was born
without the seeds Of consumption in its lungs
there is, in many Of the best families, marked
physical improvement, the results OF culture.
At Cambridge, the Faculty are palronzng
cricket and rowing matches, because they have
found the tendency to a physical decay SO
strong among The best students, without some
thing of the kind. The yachting clubs OF New
York and Newport, the bathing IN Summer,
and the skating in winter-ln TACT, the general
tendency everywhere 10 cultivate and cherish
sports and develop the physique, afford proof
OF the frh necessity Of more attention TO health.
Mere sports, though they may abate the tenden-
cY to decline, are not enough 10 avert slow
and sure decay. mans duties must be 50
arranged as 10 embrace fair share Of physical
exercise, or else he must become mere sPor-
ting character. There is this great danger
with many of these sports in this countrythey-
are not Indigenous many ofthem, like cricket,
not adapted 10 the extreme heat Of our summer
weather, which is quite unknown in England,
and many others, very apt to produce habits o!
dissipation, quite as injurious as the evils they
would cure.
But il is not SO much in the physical culture
of men as ofwomen, that the cilei defect Of our
present social system lies. Our women are
pretty at seventeen and old al twenty. The
English nobility sci much higher value on
beauty Of form and figure than We DO, and a
really fne-looklng girl, without penny OF
fortune, is thought a better match by the most
calculating wealthy parents, than dough-
faced specimen Of fashionable breeding with
quite fortune. II is by the Introduction Of
new blood that the stock OF the most ancient
families is preserved.
Among ourselves, while all inyigorating hab-
its and sports ought 10 be encouraged, il IS not
from those cultivated as fnUsjfr SPORTS that ws
devclopenent OF our national resources.

The Reaction.

As We pred cted, the wild loror against Psesi-
dent BUcHANAN is beginning 10 react, aud men
Of all parties freely accord to him honesty oI
motive, 6rmness Of purpose, and unquestloned
patriotism. The wild war against Gen. Jack
son ended the same way-ia a universal
acknowledgement that in the great measures OF
his administration he was right. Il required
his own Roman Grmness and iron will 10 stem
the current OF opposition that assailed him, ans
those leading traits immortaljzad their possessor
aud added untold blessings 10 The country. We
had not expected The reaction 50 soon in favor
of Buchanan but IT is coming. The Signs ale
every where apparent, and We doubt not it will
b. as universal and efectual, and unquestiona-
bly, as just and equitable, as in The case OF Old
Hickory The whole country will ere long
award praise and honor to PresideGt Buchanan
and his able, just and patriotic administration

REVOLUTIONARY ANEcDoTE.

One ofthe regiments in the battle OF Benning-
ton was commanded by Colonel, who, when
at home, was a deacon. He was a calm, Sc
date, determined man. and went to battle be-
cause he was impelled by sense OF duty. His
whole parish were in his regiment so was his
beloved pastor, without whose presence and
blessing they scarcely thought themselves in
a way to prosper. The Colonel was ordered
by Gen. Stark to reinforce one of the wings
which was suffering severely. He marched
al the instant with bis forces, but as slowly
auG composedly as If he had been marching to
conference meeting. The officer in command
of the corps to be relieved, fearing that he
should be compelled 10 give way, sent 10 hasten
the Colonel. "Teli 'em we're coming" said
he, and marched steady on. A second messen-
ger came, with the intelligence that the wing
was beginning TO fail back. sfThat will make
room for Us. Tell 'em we're coming" replied
the Colonel, with unmoved countenance and
unaccelerated pace, A third messenger
reached him, just as his troops emerged from
behind coppice, IN full view of the enemy
whose balls now began TO whistle around them.
sHait !" commanded the Colonel ssform COL
nmn and attend prayers" And there, in the
face OF the enemy, did the regiment pause while
solemn prayer was oHeFeu ioT tnelF success III
the deadly struggle they were about to begin
Prayers being ended, the Colonel addressed his
men IN speech, which for byryity, conscious
ness and yisor, may bear comparison with any
that Cesar or Napoleon ever addressed to their
troops, ''Soldiers," SAID he, sour wives and
children in the rear, the Hessians are in
front give it 10 them !" They did "give ii to
them," and that band of mercenaries melted
away before these Christian soldiers, the
hosts Of the uncircumcised Phis!ines melted
away before the armies Of lsrael.-RsU. Piiny

THE PUBLIC PRINTING FRAUDS.

The Report of the Select Committee aproln-
ted to investigate The accounts Of a. D. Sea-
man, the late Superintendent of Public Psin-
ting, discoses lamenta5le story OF official dis
honesty and corruption. The Committee-of
which Mr.. George Fay or, Of New-York, was
Chairman consisted OF three Democrats, one
American and one Republican, bat they agreed
unanimously. 1t is established by proof that
collusion existed between the Superintendent OF
Printing, and the Public Printer, BY which the
engravers, photographers, contractors for paper
and the like, were systematically black-mailed
and the government as systematically pIundereG
through the malirasance of the officers sworn
TO protect lis interests.
So far as the inquiry extended - for it IS only
imperfectIy completed-Seaman pocketrd about
$4,000 and Wendell $4,000, from these
sources. But il is clear that this was only
fraction of Fafnifed operations, which have not
been explored for want OF time. Seaman is 10
be turned over toIhe Courts for prosecution,
but there are others in the combination, who
have escaped direct completely, that ought 10
share his fate, they have shared from his
spoils.
Seaman was Superintendent OF the Public
Printing from 1853 to 1857, when President
Buchanan superseded him by the appointment
oiGen. George w. Bowman, Of this State, who,
II affords us great pleasure 10 add, has proved
himself thoroughly honest, efficient and con-
sclentlous officer. The abuses and frauds prac-
Used under Seaman's administration, are shown
oy the Report, to have ceased as soon as his sue
cess1r, Gen. Bowman, assumed the duties of tbe
ofhce, and there is no ground 10 doubt, that The
Ffuol'c Printing, in all lis branches, is now

men's OF law and with proper economy, which

HIGHLAND MARY.

The castle o. Montgomery,
Green be your woods, and fair your flower
Your waters never.drumlie..,
There simmer first unfaulds her robes,
And there the Largest iarry
For there took The last farewell

How sweetly bloom'd the gay green birk,
How rich the hawthorn's blossom,
AS underneath theirEfragrant shade,
! clasp'd her 10 my bosom
The golden hours on angel wings,
Flew oe'r me and my dearie;
For dear TO me, as light and lite,
Was my sweet Highla nd Mary.
WI mony' vow, and loc'kd embrace,
Our parting was lu' tFnder;
And pledging aft 10 meet again,
We tore oursels asnnder
But oh fell DEATHS untimely frost,
That nipt my flower sac early
Now green's the sod and cauld's the clay,
Th al wraps my Highland Mary
0 pale, pale, now, those rosy lips,
aft har kiss'd sac fondly
And closed for aye, the sparkling glance,
That dwet on me sac kindly
And mouldering now in silent dust,
That heart that lo'ed me dearly
But still within my bosom's core,
Shall live my Highland Mary.

To have The power TO bide the scorn,
And rise above the hate and strife

In dim old sepulchres they lie,
The feast of silence and decay,
While the true world heart beateth high
And thrones itself upon to-day.

The corn-seed 10 the mellow soil,
Whose feet the forest depths have crossed,
Whose brow is nobly crowned with toll.

CHARACTER BETTER THAN cRED1r.

We often hear young men who have credit
means, doleiuliy contrasting their lot with that
of rich mems sons. Yet the longer we live
the more we are convinced that the old mer-
chant was right who said TO us when we be-
gan to live, "Industry, my lad, is better Than
ingots OF gold, and character more valuable
than credit" We could furnish, if need were,
from our own experience, score of illustra-
tons 10 prove the truth Of his remarks. In all
branches Of business, in all avocations, charac-
ter in the long run is The best capital. SAYS
Poor Richard, ''The sound Of your hammer, al
five 10 the morning or nine in the night, heard
by creditor, makes him easy for six months
longer but ifhe sees you at the gambling table
or hears your voice at tavern, when you
should be at work, he sends for his money the
next day." What is true of the young me-
cbanic is also true Of The young merchant or
young lawyer. Old and sagaclous firms will
not long continue to give credit for thousands
OF dollars when they see the purchaser, If a
Young man, driving fast horses, or lounging in
drinking saloons. Clients will not intrusi their
cases TO advocates, however brilliant, who fre-
quent the card table, the wine party, or the
race course. 1t is better in beginning life to
secure reputation for industry and sobriety,
than to own houses or lands, il with them you
have no character.

a CORRESPONDENT OF the Baltimore Christian

minister, who desired 10 make sensation in
preaching on the cruclixon. He instructed the
sexton, when he got to that part OF the discourse
where he describes the darkness overspreading
the heavens, TO draw down the gas, giving
light only enough TO make the darkness visible.
The sexton however, awkwardlY put The gas

CORN AND CORN MEAL FOR POULTRY

The cheapest, aud We believe, the best Win
ter food for all kinds Of poultry, is the Indian
corn ground in the ear, known as corn and cob
meal. They will eat the whole if given to
them dry, or il put into pudding. Hens, tur-
keys and geese ale very fond ofit. Their giz-
yards will grind up any coarse PARTICLES of the
cob that may be- in The meal, and 1t appears 10
suit both their appetite and their constitution
remarkably well.
We have found the of corn and cob meal
better adapted 10 those animals that give their
food second grinding. Thus cattle that chew
The cud do better upon it than hogs. Horses
do very well upon it, as they give il a pretty
good Pulverizing as it passes along, aud thus all
the alimentary or nutritious portions of it are
extracted and assmrlated. 1t is thus that a
saving will be effected over the common mode
of feeding poultry by Smelling corn for them
and throwing the cobs away.-.Naiae Farmer.
