GoVERyoR WRIGur, American Ambassador
at the Court Of Berlin, has offered so, 900
thalers for the library left By Alexander Won
Humbolt. 1t is not probable that. under the
pressure Of the present times, he will meet
with many, if any, competitors in Prussia or
Germany. The inheritor Of these literary
treasures is the late valet of the deceased
philosopher, who from the nature of his cir.
cumstances cannot be expected to wait any
length of time for the realization of the
bequest. Thus it is probable that the tools
and implements, as it were, of the greatest
mind workman of modern Europe will be
removed to the United States.

Evans, Publisher, 449 Chestnut St, Phila-

Few American writer's have effected so
much popular good as T. S. Arthur. He
always illustrates good moral sentiment
by clothing it in just enough of imagery
to make it pleasant to read, and yet so
closely follows the line of reality that the
morali home-t thrust that cannot be lost
on ordinary hearts. The book before us is
one OF this stamp, being a completion of
short sketches, each of which, if praeticed
is long step toward heaven the true
religion being beautifully and forcibly
presented TO the readers comprehension
heart religion uneneumbered by creeds
and church dogmas-the "religion of COM
mon life" which is within the scope of all
who will practice it, and all are endowed
with it who "fear God and love their
neighbors' half as we'll as themselves,
nowadays. We are indebted also to G.
q. Evans for copy of this book, which
he will also send, with a handsome pres,

OUR UTAH CORRESPONDENCE.
U-AiI, June 30th, 1853

TO the Editor Of Tie Vermont Hanir -
The services of the army since the revolution
airy war have consisted, generally, in opening
up the country to emigato The manner of
performing this servc' has becn-to establish
posts within the borde,s of the forest, between
the Indians and the emgrants, and remain there
until the settlers becare numerous enough to
defend themselves then to break up remove
to new stations father inland, until again sur
rounded by settlers and so on;-keeping, in
this way, always between advancing civilization
on the one hand, and the retiring Indians and
animals of the forest On the other. As these
military posts were selected in accordance with
the instincts and interests of society, they were
generally established amidst fertile regions of
country and at points easy of access, as on wa
ter communications and hence they often be-
came great ccnters of population and commerce.
1t is in this way that the country has been open
ed up;-thc settler always feeling that there
was some security between him and the un-
known dangers of the wilderness.
The Mormons are somewhat different enc
my from 're i""'a'S' II Ia true; o"roar'sm ana

of civilization and not of pristine condition

some weeks ago; the texts have all vanished
from her brain, but the headache unfortunately
still fingers. Nelly Sanborn has reached six
thousand, although her anxious father has long
since tried to buy her off by offering her new
Bible twice as handsome as the prize one; but
what did she care for thatP she said she had
handsome Bibles already, but she had no inten-
ton of being beaten by Ella Prcniss. Poor
child we no chance for her; for Ella has it
all her own way; she made up score of seven
thousand, one hundred texts, and it is only three
days to the fatal Sunday. Between ourselves,
| think Nellie does her work more fairly; for
Ella has marvellous ingenuity in picking out
easy verses, like Jack IIorner's plums and val
uing every sacred sentence not by its subject
but by its shortncss. STILL she is bound to
win.
How is her health this SUMNER" l asked
her mother the other day.
"Well, her verses weigh on her." said the
good woman solemnly.
will only add that our Sunday School Su-
perintendent who is physician, told me that
he had as strong objections to the whole thing
as could have: but that it was no use talking;
all the other schools did it, and ours must; en-
ulation was the order of the day.
DO not misunderstood me. The supposed
object in the case is good one Just as the OBJ
ject in week day schools is good to COM
municate valuable knowledge and develope the
powers of the nina. The defect in policy in
both cases, appears to be that it totally defeats
It's own aim, renders the employments hateful
that should be delightful and sacrifices the
whole powers, so far as its influence goes, with
out any equivalent. All excess defeats ITSELF
do not object to the severest quality of study
for boys or girls;-while their brains work, let
them work in earnest. But | do object to this
immodcrate and terrific quantity. Cut down
every school, public and private, to five hours
total work per diem for the Oldest children, and
four for the younger ones, and they will accom-
plish more in the end than you ever saw them
do in six or seven. The worst danger of it is,
that the moral is written at the end of the fable
not the beginning. The organization in youth is
so dangerously elastic, that the result of these
intellectual excesses is not seen until years after.
One of the most admirable passages in the Re-
port of DR.. Ray, already mentioned, is that in
which he explains, that, though hard study at
school is rarely the immediate cause of insanity,
it is the most frequent of its ulterior causes,
except hereditary tendencies. at diminishes
the conservative power of the animal economy
to such degree, that attacks of disease, which
otherwise would have passed off safely, destroy
life almost before danger is anticipated. Every
intelligent physician understands, that other
things being equal, the chances of recovery are
far less in the studious, highly intellectual child,
than in one of an opposite description

KEEP Your EYE ON Your NEIGHBoRs.-
Take care of them. Don't let them stir with
out watching. They may do something wrong
if you do. To be sure you never know them
to do anything very bad, but it may be on your
account they have not Perhaps if it had not
been for your kind care, they might have dis
graced themselves and families, long time ago.
Therefore don't relax any effort to keep them
where they ought to be never mind your own
business, that will take care of itself There is
man passing along--he is looking over the
fence-be suspicious of him, perhaps he con-
templates stealing something some of these
dark nights; there's no knowing what queer
fancies he may have got into his head. If you
see any symptoms of any one passing out of
the path of duty, tell every one else that you
can see, and be particular to see a great many.
1t is good way to circulate such things, and
though it may not benefit yourself. or any one
else particularly, it will be something important
about some one else. Do keep something going
silence is dreadful thing; though it is said
there was silence in Heaven for the space of
half an hour, don't let any such thing occur on
earth; it would be too much like Heaven for
the inhabitants of this mundane sphere. If,
after all your watchful care you can't see any
thing out of the way in any one, you may be
sure it is not because they have not done any
thing bad; perhaps, in unguarded moment,
you lost sight of them-throw out hints, they
are no better than they should be-that you
should not wonder if people found out what
they were after while, and then they may not
carry their heads so high. Keep it going and
some one will take the hint and begin to help
you after while-then there will be music, and
everything will work to charm.

The Cleveland Plaindealer says of Edward
E. Cross, who lately fought duel with Lieu
tenant Mowry, in Arizonia:-
ave know E. E. Cross very WELL He in
structed us in the mysteries and miseries of
type-setting in Coos County, New Hampshire
some years ago. He was first Lieutenant of
the Coos Greys, and was rather proud Of his
position. He went to get his uniform one train
ing day, but could not find it. He was forced
to train with red scarf and dingy old cutass,
that being the only uniform he could raise In
the evening crazy old town pauper (who fam
cied he was Napoleon Bonapate) was dug out
of a wood-shed with Cross's uniform upon him.
He was in state of extreme intoxication, and
the uniform once so bright and gay, was now
besmeared with mud, etc. The Lieutenant was
quite angry, and accused us of rigging the pau
per out in his beautiful military clothes. We
had slight falling out, in which the Lieutenant
fell somewhat heavily upon us, and as he was
man grown, and very stout, and we were quite
small and young, we can safely say that we new
er experienced such intense anxiety in our life.
At the end of the desperate contest we found
ourselves at the foot of the printing Office stairs
We thought we would print no more in that
building.
ave had a Sleeps foot in our hands, and
thinking We might be accused of theft if we
carried it away, we stepped out into the street
and threw it up through the window. Lieuten-
ant Cross was unfortunately standing at the
window, and the Sleeps foot hit him violently
in the abdomen. We ewere anxious to get home
to our parents that we didn't stop to see how
much he was injured; but he informed us few
years since that he experienced considerable
pain for several days afterwards. In reading of
the Lieutenants doings in Arizonia, we could
not help putting on record our remarkable con-
test with him."
