the higher sentiments which bind Us to
our fellow men by all the ties Of bcnevo-
lence, and justice, and veneration, furnish
no support nor consolation. Let ME not
be misunderstood. I do not say that no
one can read novel without endangerinc
the health Of his mind Tor, under certain
qualifications, nothing could be further
from producing such result than this
kind Of recreation. Who can number the
hours of discomfort and sorrow which
have been relieved Of half their burden bg
the delightful fctions OF Scott? The sne-
ctic doctrine would incuIcate IS, that the
excessive indulgence in novel reading,
which is 4 Characteristic Of our times. is
chargeable with many of the mental irrer-

unknown at any former period

unwilling to perceive any relation of cause
and effect between things apparently so
remote from one another. Because the
mischief does not follow, fully formed and
developed, on the first application Of the
noXious agent, the latter is supposed to
have had nothing to do with it. Such
reasoning receives no support from our
knowledge Of the animal economy. We
might as we'll say that dyspepsia always
originates in particular surfeit, or even

thing which, taken occasionally, may be
borne with impunity The evil is no less
real, and no less serious, because it re-
quires certain amount Of accumulation to
render it visible. Here, too, the remedy
is higher culture and worthicr aims; and

NOVEL READING.

We extract the following from the able
and interesting report Of Dr. Ray, Of the
Butler Hospital for the Insane, Providence,
r. II
Among the mental exercises character
istic Of our day and generation, which are
untayorable to mental health, it would be
something like acting the play with The
part Of Hamlet left out, were we TO omit
al mention Of one scarcely secondary in
Importance to any other.
The effect of novel reading on the men
tall health is what we have to consider in
the present inquiry. OF course, it varies
with the character of each individual
mind, and with the circumstances that ac-
company it Generally speaking, howey-
er, there can be no question that excessive
indUl gence in novel reading necessarily
enervates the mind, and diminishes its pow
er Of endurance. In other departments Of
literature, such as biography and history,
the mental powers are more or less cxer-
cised by the ideas which they convey
Facts are stored up in the memory; hints
are obtained for the further pursuit of
knowledge judgements are formed respect
ing character and actions original thoughts
are elected spirit of investigation is ex-
cited and, more than all, life is viewed as
it really has been and must be lived A
mind thus furnished and disciplined is pro
yided with a fund Of reserved power to
fall back upon when assailed by adverse
forces, which all of US, in some shape or
other, at some time or other, must expect
to encounter In novel reading, on the
contrary, the mind passively contemplgtes
the scenes that are brought before it, and
which, being chiefly addressed to the pas
sions and emotions, naturally please, with
out the necessity of effort or preparation.
Of late years, class Of books has arisen,
the sole object Of which is to stir the feel
ings, not by ingenious plots not by touch
ing the finer chords Of the heart, and skill
fully unfolding the springs Of action not
by arousing our sympathies for unadulter-
ated, unsOphisticated goodness, truth,
and beauty, for that would assimilate them
to the immortal productions OF Shakespeare
and Scott; but by coarse exaggeratlons of
every sentiment, by investing every scene
in glaring colors, and, in short, by every
form of unnatural excitement. In all this
there is little or no addition to ones stock
of knowledge; no element of mental
strength is evolved, and no one is better
prepared by it for encountering the stern
realities of life. The sickly sentimentality
which Graves this kind of stimulus is as
different from the sensibility of a well-or-
dered mind as the crimson flush of disease
from the ruddy glow of high health. A
mind that seeks its nutriment chiefly in
books of this description is closed against
the genial influences that flow from real
10Y and sorrow, and from all the beauty

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER s, 1860.

Well, tell me all, answered his teacher
touched by the earnestness of his manner.
So saying, she led him to large stone. and
bade him sit by her there, and, as he un-
folded his tale of wrongs done as we'll as
as received, she mingled her tears with
his, which flowed freely. They sat long.
and ere they parted, she had given rest to
his eager heart, by promising ever to be his
friend.
The next morning Johnny was missed
from his place at school, and at the close of
the school, Miss Almer called at the rpd,
hut which had been his home, to learn the
cause Of his absence, and to her surprise
found it vacated. Whittier the people had
gone no one knew.
Many years after this, (ftteen 7 think.)
Miss AImer was visiting far away from this
scene of her early labors, and during her
visit, attended a meeting for teachers. Re
marks were offered and experiences related
by many laborers in the good work Of in
structing youth, and, at length a gentleman
rose and expressed wish to say word to
the band Of teachers, on the power of kind
ness, aud in the course Of his remarks, re-
lated the story | have given above, closing

ing me, it shall be the aim of my life to re-
ward the friend Of my youth, in the only
true way in my power, namely, by precept
and example, the influence of the divine
principle Of love which actuated her
Miss Almer listened to this recital with
an agitatcd heart, for she recognized in the
speaker the little Johnny, whom she had
never forgotten. She sought an interview.
and learned his history. How, after lcav-

What is Life.

The mere sleep of year is not life To
eat, and drink, and sleep-to be exposed
to darkness and the light-to pace round in
the mill Of habit, and turn thought into an
implement Of trade-this is not life. In
all this but a poor fraction Of consciousness
Of humanity is awakened, and the sancti-
ties still sIumber which make it worth
while to be. knowledge, truth, love, beau
ty, goodness, faith, alone can give vitality
to the mechanism Of existence. The laugh
of irthlthat vibrates through the heart
the tears that freshen the dry wastes with
in-the music that brings childhood back
the prayer that calls the future near
the doubt which makes US meditate-the
death that startles US with mystery-tLe
hardship which forces us to struggle-the
anxiety that ends in trust-are the true
nourishment Of our natural being.

ea.The New York Leader contains
marvellous tale of the resuScitation of the
pirate Hicks, who has hanged on the 18th
Of last July. Much excitement has natu-
rally been created on the subject, especial
y as the names of several prominent med
ical men have been given as participants
in the affairs Dr. Carnochan, who w2s
said to have taken great interest in the
case, and who had been the adviser during
al the stages Of the operation, was called
upon, but lie denies the slightest knowI-
edge CT the fact. The leader says he was
brought to life by means OF an electro
chemical BATH and describes him as hay
ing his LEFT arm and leg paralyzod able TO
open his mouth, but totally without power
Of Utterance The whole affair is most
probably sensation hoax, though Deputy
Marshall Thompson, Of New York, main
tains that the story is very plausible, and
might we'll be true. He says a gentleman
had called to see him, who stated that
Hicks had been brought to Poughkoepsie,
and there subjected to the treatment. a..
Thompson also said that Mr.. Massett, the
alleged biographer of the pirate, had cor
roborated the story.

Who are the nrnSes .

The wholesale frightfuI massacre Of the
Christians in Syria, by the Druscs, Will
lead our readers to inquire, Who are the
Druses and we take the following de-
scription Of this tanatical people from the
Washington Constitution: They are a
sect Of Mohammcdans who trace their orr
Gin to a wonderful fanatic named IIamsa,
who, in conjunction with one Of the fol
lowers, wrote a sacred book, embodying his
doctrine for the guidance Of the priesthood
only. He taught that God could only be
known to mankind by manifestations of his
presence in human form, and that he had
SO manifested himself ten times, the last
time being in 1020, in the person Of ua-
KEN, a Caliph OF Egypt, who left the care of
the faithful to five principal ministers \
complicated system of priesthood IS main
tanned; and many of the doctrines of the
sect resemble the Christian theology
They are said to derive their name from
Mohammedan missionary named Darazi or
Drusi, but they disavow both his name and
doctrines The Druses have in former
times been noted for cruelty, and for hatred
of the Christian religion, especially Of
sect called Maronites, whose spiritual head
is the Patriarch of Antioch, though they
have some relations with Rome IN the
late slaughters, however, the tanaticism Of
the Druses has not permitted them to
make any distinctions, and al Christians
have been indiscriminately the victims of
their rage
