INFLUENCE OF MENTAL CULTURE-An ella
borate paper was read before one Of the principal
educational associations in the United States, a
few years since, by learned gentleman, in which
he maintained that mere intellectual culture
was no safe guard against vice. Some of the
most notable instances of intellectual men, who
have INDUCED Elm their vicious propeusities,
were aduced in support Of the proposition
Last year the same position was taken by an
other learned gentleman, and the statements were
supported with zeal and eloquence. A fact OF
general interest, bearing upon this long mooted
question, may be derived from DR.. Sangers
recent valuable work
OF two thousand abandoned women, the
statistics Of whose condition, ages, occupation,
&c, are given, only four, or one in FIVE hundred,
relied for support, before their fall, upon any
occupation requiring mental culture. These
four were one artist, and three school teachers.
Of the same number only seven hundred and
fourteen could "read and write well. 7"
These facts are worth considering, for they
show that education has direct bearing on the
criminal statistics of nation.

A Boat Ride.
BY T. W.

/ love to ride DER moonlight tide,
When stars are shining brightly,
With one sweet voice. the hearts first choice,
And lips that say " kiss lightly"
When soft the breeze, from mid the trees,
With perfume of sweet flowers,
Plays Ger the brow, while on we row,
To some cool ice cream bowers.
Yetsweeter far, when gay guitar,
Or soft toned Lutte is sending
Its notes along in sweetest song,
With gentle voices blending.
All! then It's rare, that tyrant care,
Can mar such pleasant hours,
While laughing eyes and lovers signs,
And ice cream decks the bowers.
The moon at last strange chances cast,
Like some parental warning,
Then off we fly, ere yet the sky,
Gives birth to early morning,
The stars they wink and perhaps they think
IT'S time that we were sleeping,
While zephyr's sigh, as they pass by,
Yet love, bright watch is keeping.
Now home at last, the pleasures past,
But not the joy of thinking
About the ride upon the tide.
And pleasures deeply drinking.
A fond adieu, those eyes of blue,
Of which dream ofnightly,
Then comes the bliss, that good night kiss,
From lips that say " kiss lightly"

Joseph Addison, the prince Essayist, gives in
one of his papers an account of a strange mar
riage. The substance of the record is this
Pleasure and Pain, two beings of a very diff.
ferent pedigree, belonging to two families al
ways at variance, came into this world of ours,
the one to take possessions of the Tirtuous, the
other of the vicious; but after many experiments
they discovered that they had all laid claim to
the same individual-that in this immediate
planet Of ours there was no person so vicious
who had no good in him, nor any person SO
virtuous who had not in him something of evil
To avoid dispute, and to come to some accom-
madation, a marriage was proposed between
them, andat length concluded. 1t is ON this
account that we find Pleasure and Pain such
constant yoke fellows, and that they either make
their visits together or are never far assunder.-
If Pain comes into heart, he is quickly follow
ed by Pleasure and if Pleasure enters, you
may be sure Pain IS not far off.

Job An Example.

Away on the horizon OF Sacred History, in
the glory of its dawn, we see-we see-shall
say group ?-three personages; the first
shrouded with that excelling light, which no
man can approach unto the second, dark with
that darkness which, thank God, neither our
words nor our Imagination can picture; the
third man with like passions with ourselves
To this man the Maker Of all points the Tempter
of all, and says " Hast thou observed my servant
Job, that there is none like to him on the earth,
perfect and upright man, one that shunneth
evl?" And who is this of whom we have such
testimony as never was borne to other man-who
is held up to the accuser of Saints as triumph
ant instance Of the redeeming power of grace
He is one whose wealth is almost countless, who
has distanced every contemporary, and is the
greatest of all the men of the East. 1t is plain
that his immense possessions were no stain upon
his record" which was ION high" But ere
you exult in the belief that you may innocenty
accumulate to an infinite amount, carefully mark
how he employed his wealth While his chill
dren were holding family feasts, and the joy
abundance was in all their homes, he was CO.
tinually" rising early, going to the altar of God
and offering up offering in large numbers And
how did he live among his neighbors while thus
honoring God He was such friend to all
men that his presence was the occasion of acity's
joy.
When he went forth to the gate by the city,
The ear heard and blessed him.
The eye saw and witnessed for him.,
Because he delivered the poor that cried.
The orphan and him that had no helper.
The blessing ofthe perishng came upon him.,
And the heart of the widow he mad sing for joy.
He was eyes to the blind
And feet was he to the lame.
He was father to the needy,
The cause of the stranger he searched out
He broke the fangs of the wicked,
And from his teeth he dashed prey.
JOB xxx. 6, II, &c.
Go thou and do likewise Thus continual
y and literally offer unto God thus bountifully
and actively distribute to man, and so long as
we see you so doing may your garners be full,
affording all manner of store !"-Mr. ATthur.

We understand a "Billy-do" recently went
through Post Office not thousand miles from
this place, with the following superscription:
To the Belle of fair 0pequon,
This Billy do must go reckon,
To tell her in some true-love rhymes,
How much love her and-her dimes
We suppose the missile found its way to old
Virginia, but we hope the rascal wont succeed
with the Belle, as he seems to think as much Of
her personal property as her person. Ladies,
beware of the wicked man

"A Dangerous Fellow to be at Large.


east" or somewhere else, who ought not to be
allowed to run at large. He threatens to play
the deuce and break things, all in consequence of
a faithless gal, who has broken her troth to him
and married some one else. Ifhe should put his
threats into execution, what would become of us.
Hear him:
sIIl grasp the loud thunder,
And with lightning I'll play,
I'll rend the earth asundcr,
And kick it away
Now that's attempting considerable for one
man however, ifhe willing to assume the respon-
sibiity and pay damages, why let him smash
away, we're not afraid. He next says:
G The rainbow I'll straddle
And ride to the moon;
Der the I'll paddle
In the bowl of spoon.'
Well that won't hurt anybody. Go ahead
old chap we like to encourage laudabe
spirit of adventure
''I'n set fire to the fountain
And swallow up the rill;
I'll eat up the mountain
And be hungry STILL
Good gracious what destructive and fero-
cious animal he is Is there no way to appease
his wrath and stay his stomach Must we suffer
this just because his gal gave him the mitten,
and took a notion to another? No, never
Down with him, we say, if he continues to con-
duct himself in this extravagant way.
The rain shall fall upward,
The smoke tumble down.
I'll dye the grass purple,
And paint the sky brown
Here that A pretty world this would be
then We might as well live in an old boot
with dirty sole for the earth beneath, and
brown upper leather for the heavens above
The sun I'll put out,
With the whirl-wind I'll play
Turn day into night
And sleep it away.
There is no. doubt if he cuts this caper, the
sun will feel as much put out about it as we shall.
We leave it to the whirlwind to say whether
they are to be trifed with or not And as for
turning day into night, and sleeping it away,
we would just as leave he would do that as not,
that is if he can. But hear him again:
"In fog the young earthquake,
The weather III physic
. Volcanoes I'll strange
Or choke them with phtsc."
Oh, for shame now. He dare not clinch with
the old earthquake, so he threatens to fog a
young one, and that of the neuter gender Q,
you outrageous fellow why don't you take
one of your size And then he says:
sThe moon will smother
With nightmare and VICE.
For sport at each other
The stars will throw'
Serve them right They have no business to
be out when they ought to be in bed.
The rocks shall be preachers,
The trees do the singing,
The clouds shall be teachers,
And the comets go spreeing"
Well, that's all right enough except getting
the comets on a spree-we don't like that very
much Our hero concludes as follows
g I'll tie up the WINDS
In bundle together, M
And tickle theirribs
With monstrous feathern
Oh, cricky now he's done it. We did not
think it in the gizzard Of any man to do half as
much. Really we think that such desperate
fellow ought to be caught and put in jail for
three days, and safely guarded by one flea, two
