INDUSTRIAL TRAINING INMAssACHU-
sETrs.-The late long vacation has
prevented the School Committee
from taking any measures to carry
ont their resolution to appropriate
So, 000in aid of theIDdustrial Schools.
Immediate action is now expected
upon their part. The very great
success of the school provided by the
Springfield committee for the chill
dren employed in the Indian Or
chard Factory will undoubtedly sng-
gest to our own committee an early
and efficient means of carrying their
own resolution into PRACTICE
AT the Orchard it has been found
that the "halEtime school" az it has
been called, advances its pupils more
rapidly and thoroughly than the
common all-day schools. And, be-
sides, in the mills It has been proved
that such pupils do better work and
earn more money than they would
| by being in the factory all day
The children and their parents at
FIRST were very much afraid of the
scheme, but now how popular it is
may be- learned from the fact that
the average daily attendance in thi,
school is niuety-seven per cent. Sc
high an average daily attendance il
the common day schools.

Carlyle on Spiritualism.

| The american Scotsman. of New
York, gives its readers the following
characteristic letter from Thomas
Carlyle, heretofore unpublished,
which was elected by the receipt of
a poem entitled "The Temple OF
Isis, by William Donovan:
Chelsea, London, 10th January. 1859.
DEAR SIR At last | received
your pamphlet; and have read it,
with what attention and appreciation
[ could bestow.
Considerable faculties of mind are
manifested in it +; powers of intellect,
of imagination serious, earnest
character here and there tone of
sombre eloquenee, and vestiges of
real literary skill.
But my constant regret was and
is, to see such powers operating in
field palpably chaotic and lying be-
yond the limits of mans intelligence.
These are not thoughts which you
give; they are huge, gaunt, vacant
dreams-for ever incapable, By nature,
of being either affirmed or denied.
My clear advice, therefore, would
be, give up all that refuse TO employ
your intellect on things where no
intellect can avail to sow good seed
on realms of mere cloud and shadow
The highest intellect which issues in
no certainty has completely failed
The word Of practice and fact is the
true arena for its inhabitants; wide
enough for any or all intellects of
men and never lay more cucumber
ed with sordid darkness and pernic-
ious decisions than even now.
Real intellect might write with
advantage on such things better
still perhaps, it might remain silent,
and bend is whole force on iIlumin-
ating ones own poor path in such a
wilderness on more and mere clear
ly ascertaining, fer at least one earn
est man, What to do, and H0lo to do
it.
Probably you will not adopt this
advice, almost certainly not at once;
nor shall that disaffect me at all
Your tract found throughout to be
rather pleasant reading, and to give
certain interest. Nothing in it ex-
cept one SMALL section, treating of a
thing | never mention, unless when
compelled-the thing which calls it.
self "Spiritualism" (Which might
more fifty call itself "Ultra-BRUTAL-
ISM, land LITURGY OF Dedd-iSed APES"
was disagreeable to me.
Yours, with many good wishes,

PRIEST CRAFT COMING TO AN END.
The latest story of progress in
Hindostan has certain grim pict-
uresqueness which is almost humor.
The great festival ofJuggerIaut was
held at Serampore in July. We
all know what this used to be-for
is it not in all the missionary story
books and pictorial Biographies p
the priests upon the platforms of the
huge cars dancing and shouting,
hundreds ofworshipers pulling at the
ropes, aud crazy devotees finging
themselves beneath the wheels
This year the crowd attracted by the
spectacle was small. The cars were
dragged short distance, by hired
men, and then left half in muddy
ditch, with the idols still in them and
the flags flying. When the priests
urged the people to pull, the irrever-
emit populace cried out, WHY don't
you come down and pull yourselves ?"
Nobody was crushed, nobody was
hurt, and only three men got drunk.

agThe ruling people of the world

EEThe ruling people of the world
who have from time to time shaped
the destiny of humanity have al
ways been liberal feeders Thus the
dominant nations among theBabylon-
ians, the Persians, and especially the
Romans, were free and luxurious in
their habits of eating and among
modern nations the greatest eaters
are the English, the Germans, the
French and the American-the ruL-
ing people of cur civilization. On
the other hand, the diet of the Span
iards and Italians is notably less sus-
tanned than that of the English and
Germans, aud they do less brain
work. So the relocating Hlndoos
and Chinese, and the fish-eating Jap
anese, have certainly shown less
FRAMEWORK, and have made less al
vance as nations, than the most lux
urious eaters of Europe 90 the
meagre diet, and the want OF variety
in the food of various African tribes,
of the Greenlanders, and Of other
people, certainly have not produced
great results in brain labor.

The Herald Of Health gives the
following information and advice
"Gray hair is always the result Of
some weakness or disease. 1t may
be hereditary, and it often is. In
tense and long-eontinued mental ex-
element often causes it, Many
cases are the result of dyspepsia and
insufficient nutrition. To prevent
the hair becoming gray, avoid the
causes as far as possible. When
once gray there is seldom any change
for the better. The only things ad-
visable to be done, are to keep the
general health as good as possible,
the scalp clean and vigorous by bath
ing and friction, and avoid all hair
dyes. oils, etc. Nearly all the hair
dyes contain deadly lead poisons,
and many cases Of paralysis have
been occasioned by their use. A
committee Of doctors appointed to
investigate the death, by poisoning,
of DR.. Witherwax, Of Scott County,
Iowa, declared that the poison from
which he died, was introduced into
his system by the use of hair dye.
The report states many instances
where people have died from the
same cause. They also stated that
all the hair dyes except one contain
ed the same deadly lead poison, and
that one contained nitrate of silver,
which is ruinous to the hair. Such
being the facts in the case, those
who use these articles need not be
surprised if they suffer therefor"

THE DARw1s1AN HYporHEs1s.-

THE DARwINIAN HYPoTHEsIs.-
One of the most exciting discussions
in the British Associations, was on
DR.. Darwin's Development theory
Three papers were read combating
DR.. Darwin's opinions, and in one of
them, prepared by the Rev. DR..
M'Cann, on philosophical Objections
to Darwinism or Fvolutionism," il
was urged that belief in evolution
ism meant atheism Prof. Huxley
appeared as the defender of Darwin
ism, and protested against what he
termed the shallow caricature of
science and philosophy presented by
the Rev Doctor, observing that it
led one to doubt whether the first
doctor of divinity was not Cain, and
the first man OF science Abel.
Subsequently, Professor Huxley
was elected president for the Liver
pool meeting by close vote, Lord
Stanley, to whom the post was Of
fered, declining to accept the position,
on the ground that he thinks the
chair ought to be filed by an emil
nent scientific man.

ded: "You have violated the obIiga-

cording to the evidence. Instead of
that you render a verdict against

A Young Man Wanted.

A lady writer under this heading
hits off the men as follows:
A woman wants you. Don't for
get her. Don't wait to get rich; if
you do, ten to one you are not fit to
be married. Marry while you are
young and struggle up together.
But mark, young man, the woman
don't want you if she has to divide
her affections with cigar, spittoon
or whisky Jug. Neither does she
want you if you do not care for her
and the little "after thoughts"
which are sure to follow. Neither
does she want you simply because
you are a man, the definition OF
which is too apt to be an animal that
wears bifurcated garments on bis
lower limbs, a quarter section of
stovepipe on his head, swears like
pirate and is given to filthy practices
generally. She wants you for a
companion, a helpmate; she wants
you to have learned to regulate your
appetite and passions; in short, in

ness of beast. IF you are strong
in good purposes, firm in resistance
to evil, pure in thoughts and actions
as you require her to be-and with
out purity neither of you are fit for
man or wife-if you love virtue and
abhor vice, if you are gentlemanly,
forbearing and kind, and not loud
talking, exciting and brutal, young
man, that woman wants you; that
modest, fair, cheerful, bright looking
woman wants you, we mean, who
fills your idea of maiden and wife.
1t is she that wants you. Marry
her when you like, whether she is
poor or rich we'll trust you both on
| the above conditions, without further
security.
