that his course was right. 1t is deserving
of condemnation, not of imitation.
There are some distinguished men from
whom we differ, upon this subject. Now
there is one thing we should like to have
explained by Mr.. Emerson, Mr.. Phillips,
and the others, who tell us that John Brown
is the man who has made it possible for an
American to own without shame in Europe
that he is an American, who proclaim that
his cause is the one for true man to fol-
low; that his gallows is to be forever glo-
rious, like the cross, and much more in the
same style. If all this is so; if John
Brown in his late attempt was the model
man; if he did what it is the high duty of
noble-hearted split to do, if he set the
example which is worthy of such unquali-
fed admiration and of imitation, why in
the world do not these herioc men who talk
so loudly 60 and do what he did? Why
are they content to stand upon this lower
place of manhood, which they now occupy
They have talked magnifcently about what
makes man in this crisis. Why do they
not try to be men after they model which
they commend? To be sure, the expert
ment would be perilous, nay, fatal. But
what of that, True greatness, nay, man.
hood, we are told, consists in such sacri-
fee as Browns. Why not then hurry and
make it? According to them, Brown is
doing, and is destined to do, more for the
cause to which he is falling martyr than
he could have done by eloquence Of Pitt
and the long life of Methusclah. Why
do they not then join him, help on the vic
tory Of freedom, and place their names,
with Browns among those that men Twill
not willingly let die"
Change your words, or your acts gentle
men. Either follow Brown, or modify the
language with which, in your idolatry Of
him, you have chosen to characterize his
deeds. So long as you do not, you show
that you are not men, measured by the
standard which you yourselves hold up
Let us have something besides the Dutch
mans 'pravorts," or else fewer of them.
The lamentabe result of this indiscriminate
praise of an honest, but erring man, will
be the encouragement of others to follow
his unhappy example, while those who fur
nish the encouragement keep themselves at
safe distance from peril, and spend their
herioc lives in glorifying through words
what they dare not do themselves. That
may be lofty style of heroism, but we
have not yet attained to height where it
seems so to us. For the present, John
Brown, with all his mistakes, seems to us
to gain little from such laudations as theirs.
He did not urge any one to peril which he
was not willing to face himself.

DR.. Freund, of Port Huron, Mich, be-
came criminally intimate with Mrs. Nc
Gee, and her husband surprised him with six
pistol-balls, while indulging in meeting
with the frail lady.-A most accomplished
married lady of Brooklyn Heights, the
charm of fashionable boarding house cir
Gle, took passage on the last Atlantic steam
er with her lover, leaving her husband and
child to rejoice in her rabsence-Mr. Burr
Smith, of Wood Co., Wis, fell in love with
his pretty hirsd girl, and went off with her
n search Of h appiness.-A pair Of spirit
iualists of Newburyport, Mass, recently ar
rived in Michigan, having each left married
partner in the Bay State; they have proba-
bly, found their affinity. "a married
gentleman in Detroit, admired young fe-
male physician till he couldn't rest, and fl
nally they both started to see the wide world
together-her father fired load of buck
shotinto the back of the lover, but the charge
only made them so off" the faster.-A
young lady of Delafeld, Wis, asked her
ma if she might take an evening walk to a
neighbors-t the request was granted, and
the little Miss met her lover on the way, who
conducted her to Justice and married her
he was only 17.-A respectable gentle
man of Chicago found basket at his door,
one morning, and upon examination it was
found to contain pretty little babe, with
an accompanying note which reads, Father!

Rev. S. G. HERMAN, Of Vandalia,, Ills,
Principal of q High School, destroyed the
reputation of young female pupil aged l3,
and then fed the country.-An' elegant
girl of 16, in Memphis, ran off with man
old enough to be her grandfather, and when
expostulated with about it she said she
wanted "a man who was old enough to
amount to something had mo taste
for green youths. "A fair girl of the city
of Chillicothe, Ohio, became so necessary
to the happiness of a married school-master
of that place that he decided to leave his
family forever; the intimacy having been
suspected by interested parties, he was about
to be arrested, and taking the alarm, he left
that place in haste, while the girl is locked
up to prevent her escape; she'll lind him
yet if they live. a -..a . ...
There, that'll do for one paragraph on hu-
man frailty. The record only covers half a
glance at our exchanges; even this will
make most people suspect their partners or
themselves with eloping designs. The doc
trine, which is rapidly taking root in the
public mind, that every person is law unto
him or herself, may ultimately lead to an
abandonment of all order, political and
social.
