TRaVEEfNti IN THE SoUTII.-The fol-
lowing is from the ".SOuti" a new week
ly, published in Now York:
Some of the Northern papers would
produce the impression upon the minds
Of strangers that travelling in the Soutl
was as difficult and dangerous as In tho
interior of Asia, that homicides are 81
common and fevcrs SO prevalent, tina
an insurance policy upon q mans lif,
|who should undertake trip South would
be an extremely bad investment. The
truth is, that a years travel in the South
would not be so dangerous in either re-
spcct as a weeks residence In this famed
metropolis.
One may take the cars Mt Jersey City
and in less than five days reach Calves
ton, in Texas, passing through nine Of
the Southern States, visiting their prin-
cipai cities, riding in elegant cars, or on
splendid steamers, sleeping in Pullman
palaces, dining on the fat of the land,
for half hundred dollars, and never
have q fear of being smashed to death
nor exploded into eternity. To travellers
who behave themselves and arc desirous
of seeing the country, the Southern pco-
pie will always now, rs in the past, be-
civil and polite, and more hospitabie and
courteous folks cannot be found in the
world. ... - =.
While it is true the facilities for travel
are not to be compared to what they are
in the North, yctto the extent of them,
visitors will find no difficulty in getting
a very fair ide:, Of tlle extent of the coun-
try, its soil, climate and resources.

TIE TINES OF STUpY.-lt is q fact
well known to the physioIogist, that
tho attention Of the human mind can
only be given with success TO par
ticular subject for limited time. The
younger the brain is, the less the timo
during which knowledge can be taken
in or retained. In opposition 10 these
obvious facts, children arc kept al
their studies or in school for much
longer periods than they can success
fully learn. The consequence is that
they remain in the close school-room
while they ought to have been. in the
yard at play. This system is doubIy
wasteiuI, for both health and learning
are sacrificed. The whole system of
hours Of study, and Of play or of work.
requires to DC revised in our primary
schools. The Importance of play
grounds in the open mir can hardly be
ovcrratcd 1t is only the practical
physio!ogist who: cun appreciate tle
real value Of muscular exercise, and
the influence Of ficsl, air from time to
time during the day, to enable chill:

Mr.. Crittcnden, Of Kentucky, was
at one time. defending man who
had been indicted for capital offence.
After al elaborate and powerful de-
fecce, he closed bis effort with the
following striking and beautiful allie
CORY: '., sy ..... :,
"Whcn God in his eternal council
conceived the thought Of mans crca-
ton, he called to him the thrce'minis-
tcrs who constantly wait upon the
throne Justice, Truth and Mercy
and thus addressed them: Shall we
make man?' Then said Justice, oh,
God, make him not, for he will tram
pie upon the law Truth made an
swcr also, %, God, make him not, for
he will pollute thy sanctuarics.' But
mercy dropped upon her knees, and,
looking up through hertears, exckiin,-
cd, oh, God, make him; ! will watch
over him with my care through all
the dark paths which he my have 10
tread Then God. mado man and
said to him, oh, man, Nthou. art the

The jury, when he bad finished,
was drowned in tears, and against
evidence aud what must have been
their. own conviction, brought in o
verdict OF not guilty.

Sr. THOMAS REALLY DESTROYED
Halifax is vindicutcd. The report which
first reached us from that point, and has
since been contradictcd, of the ruin
caused inthe Island of st. Thomas by
the recent hurricane there, is Mt last fully
vindicated. An official report of the
Eire-C Consul OF France at. st. Thomas to
the French Minister Of Marine and the
Colonies states that after q, severe gale in
the morning the wind, which had done
no great damage, subsidized about noon.
About =. NJ. it rose again, and ut 4 +.
NJ. three or four violent torua,loes, in
rapid succession, swept over the lown,
"leveliDg nearly every house in the place
and blowing to pieces MANY wooden
ones. v"IW'enty-two persons, says the
Fice-Consul, were killed, and thirty
wounded" In the harbor the damage
was less serious. and u pleasant iucidrnt
which occurred deserves to be recorded.
\ steamer Of the French West Indian
line lying there not only rode. out the
blow in safety, but was enabled to cx-
tend assistance to Il German steamer IN
her vicinity which had bcconae nearly
nnnanageable.
