SULKINESS.
(PaU Mall Gazette. J

The capacity for steady solid concen-
trated sulkiness is a mighty power to him
who possesses it it implies many curious
and varied accomplishments and gifts,
among others hat ofthe complete mastery
of the five senses. 1t is for q man to be
blind when it is desired that he should
open his eyes, dumb whenever words
would be acceptable, deaf to all allure
ments or submission, insensible to every
effort at Cancellation. It can create gloom,
and, having created it, it can perpetuate
and deepen it until it becomes a cllnging
atmosphere as unwholesome as a malaria.
1t comprehends an absolute control over
the facial muscles, so that no softness or
sign of yielding, not a ripple Of q smile or

frmrd Sulker. In a word, it is the faculty
Of stimulation TO such - degree that a per-
sou Shall appear 10 be blind, deaf, dumb,
stupid, paraIyZpd, I'll, or dead whenever
and for as Iorg as he chooses. Mr.. Helps
has truly said, ''UnreasOn always governs.
Nothing prevents yOu having your W
way so much as being at all amenabIe TO
reason" And sulkineSs neither gives
reasons nor listens to them. The suIky
being sometimes wears a depressed, Splr-
itIesS, and utterly detected appearances,
as though crushed and heartbroken by
l~ong-conlinued oppression sometimes &
heavy, displeased, dragging step, and q
black and lowering brow are the chief
signs which Indicate the disturbance with
in, and the form Of the vengeance which
is to be taken ia respect Of it. The latter
is the masculine type; the former is,
properly speaking, feminine. MIR. N. Z.
Willis, in one of his earlier volumes, has
a clever little tale describing the power of
an "injnred look" By virtue of it a
young American lady contrived to per-
suade a whole house full Of boarders to
regard her us a martyr, aud to speak the
worst and think the worst they could of
her husband and all this, without utter
ing one word herself, was produced solely
by the ''iniured look" And if there is
an ''injured look" there is also such a
thing as a "dumb devil ;" if the power Of
the one is great, the provocation induced
by the latter is unutterable. 1t is o curl
Gus, and to some will appear an unac-
countable, circumstance that in suIkineSs
a woman is more often possessed with a
dumb devil than is a man.
SuIkiness is visible even in the nursery,
where it exists, so to speak, in the form
of a bud but it is merely an outbreak of
bad temper, for at that age a child has
not learned the method Of using it as an
instrument with which to punish his play
mates. And the wisest way is to leave
it entirely uunoticed, "~eface" the offend
er, as the French say, until there is al
obvious return 10 a more amIable dlspo~
Sition. But boys and girls soon learn TO
estimate the power of Sulkiness either by
practice or endurance, and a large school
is the best check on a deSpotism OF this
kind. SuIkiness is not a tyranny which
can be safely exercised in society at large,
and it is commonly reserved for private
or home exhibition. The smaller the
circle the more concentrated its force; in
a family, in a house, in Spe room, the
power of sulkiness oppressGs, searches,
and pervades every corner of it. In love-
making suIkiness is a depIorable blunder.
Smile or strike, or smile and strike too
if that seems more advisable; but no good
ever follows a sulIen enmity, which chills,
disconcerts, and often actually destroys
love. Even that simulated suIkiness, that

The ceiling is deliberately p%aneled and
frescoed. The shelves occupy three sides
of the room, and are so disposed as to
afford snug alcoves at the different WIN
dows, which look out upon the pastoral
scenes that surround the town. The third.
wall is finished in maroon, and in its CEN
ire hangs, 10 an elaborate oak frame, a
portrait, copied from an original, Of The
boy whose memory is to be preserved in
this superb library. The elegant furni-
fure Of the room cost over $4,000, and
the entire endo wment is $4,000. The
shelves are as yet but partially supplied
with books, the list so far numbering $50.
Among these | noticed Savage's "Geneal-
ogical Dictionary Of New England" Kit
to's "BibIical CyclopRdia," AppIeton's
"New American Encyclopedia" TomIIn-
sons Encyclopaedia of Useful arts" Mus
pratt's "Chemistry," BanSen's Egypt"

lions of Shakespeare, including q very
large copy photollDhographrd: Bourgery's
"Anatomie de phommie," in seven en-
ormous volumes; Picart'S 'Religious Gus
TOMS" a rare six volume quarIo; and
twenty-five volumes of the "BibiiSthica
Sacra."
SO far the people of Peabody have not
shown themselves highly appreciative of
the Sutton library. Though it has been
open over a week, only twelve readers
have presented themselves. It is rather
irritating 10 note the bucoIle indifference
of the stolid villagers to this m gnifcent
gift, which would be so highly appreciated
in any centre of learning or refinement.
THE DANVERS INSTITUTE.
1t is q pleasant ride of three miles over
q smooth hard road to Danvers. On the
way is passed the stately old famiIier re-
sidence Of Mr.. Francis Peabody, Z nephew
Of George Peabody. The house is APP
preached through a magnificent avenue
of stately elm trees. At Danvers is Mr..
Peabody's latest benefaction-the lnsti-
tute dedicated only yesterday by himself.
It had cost him till then $4,000, and by
his added gilt of $45, 900 he expends on
it altogether $1,000 The building, a
capacious Gothic structure of wood, is
located on improved grounds presented
by the town authorities for the purpose.
It contains accommodation for the free
library and an elegant Gothic lecture-hall.
The exercises at the dedication yester-
day the telegraph has already reported
to you. By the sudden illness of the
gentleman who was to deliver the address
that duty devoIved upon Rev. Mr.. Fetch
er, of this place, who, with only a few
hours for preparation, acquitted himself
very ably. His a%llusion to Mr.. Peabody
as having sin his right hand length of
days, and in his left riches and honor"
was received with loud applause. In
, 1869-08-13

make the new institute successful, 81
wish this to be a rich institutions" said
Mr.. Peabody, "and | will give to 1T $45,-
900 more"
Perhaps, then, in Wv ofthe alteration
we all pay to wealth, there was some
propriety in The oprm 9 anthem sung by
the choir at the dedIcatory exercises.t to the
words "Let his Name be praised from
the rising of the Sun to the going down
Of the same" Mozarl's Twelfth Mass,
Gloria, Was also given. Miss Roache
wrote an ode which was better than adula-
tory odes usually are. The last stanza
closes in a very graceful way:
Fragrant and fadrIess is The wreath
Which memory Weaves to-day,
Whence touch of time can never take
Perfume nor bloom away.
For him our dear and houored friend,
Whose steps may happiness attend,
And to his LIES December lend
The sunshine Of its May.
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.
Do people clearly understand that Mr..
Peabody has given away over EIGHT MIL
LIONS Of dollars? Why history has no
parallel to this! Just glance at some Of
these prodigIous gifts. Three millions to
the Southern Educational Fund; one
million seven hundred and ff thousand
to the London poor; nearly two millions
to his poor relatives; one million to the
Peabody Institute at Baltimore; three
hundred thousand to the Institutes at
Peabody and Danvers; one hundred and
fifty thousand to the Peabody Museum at
Salem to the Georgetown MASS } Library,
fifty thousand; 10 the Phillips Academy
at Andover, thirty thousand; 10 q profess
sorship at Harvard one hundred and fifty
thousand !; TO Yale College Must UNI cf
Natural History, the same amount; to
KENYON College, twenty-five thousand
dollars to the Maryland Historical Libra
ny, twenty thousand dollars. Then the
numerous smaller donation can hardly be
enumerated; and this is what It is to be
rich and liberal at the same time. This
is also what it is to be a bachelor, for it
is safe to assume that were Mr.. Peabody
the father of a family his wealth would
have flowed to his heirs, after the usual
fashion.
Gratus ogimus Peabody! Should not
all wealthy men be obliged by law to
take the vows of ceIibacy? PoL1UTo.
