Moral Education.

| This belief in moralizing effects of in
tellectual culture, fatty contradicted by
facts, is absurd, priori. What imagin-
able connection is there between the
learning that certain clusters of marks
on paper stand for certain words and
| the getting higher sense of duty?
What possible effect can requirement of
| facility III making written signs of
sound have in Strengthening the desire
to DO right? How does the knowledge
Of the multiplication table, or quickness
in adding and dividing SO increase the
sympathies as to restrain the tendency
to trespass against fellov-creatures? In
what way can the attainT ent Of accuracy
in spelling and parsing, etc, make the
sentiment of justice more powerful than
it was; or why from stores of geograph-
zeal information, perseverlngly gained,
is there likely to come increased regard
for truth? The irrelation between such
causes and such effects is almost as great
as that between exercise Of the fingers
and strengthening of the legs. One
who should by lessons in Latin hope to
give a knowledge of geometry, or one
who should expect practice in drawing
to be followed by expressive rendering
of sonata, would be thought fit for an
asylum; and yet he would be scarcely
more irrational than are those who by
discipline of the intellectual faculties ex-
pact to produce better feelings This
faith in lesson-books and readings is one
of the superstitions OF the age. Even
as appliances to intellectual culture,
books are greatly overestimated. In
stead of second hand knowledge beirg
regarded as of less value than first hand
knowledge, and as knowledge to be
sought only where iirst-hard knowledge
cannot be had, it is actually regarded as
of greater value. Something gathered
from printed pages is supposed to enter
into a course Of education but, if
gathered by observation of Lifs and Ma
ture, is supposed not thus to enter.
Reading is seeing by proxy-is learning
indirectly through another mans facul-
ties, instead of directly through ones
own faculties and such is the prevail
ing bias that the indirect learning is
thought preferable to the direct learning,
and usurps the name Of cultivation
We smile when told that savages con-
slider writing as kind of magic and

Yesterday afternoon, about half pas

from Liucoln county, started out on
horseback, with the intention of shooting
some quail which had been seen on the
road beyond the Alps NINE. The horse
which Nr. Wallace rode was FESTIVE and
considered vicious. When they had
proceeded from the livery stable as far
as the n. Z. haliroad ofhce, wallace was
thrown from MS morse: A NUMBER OF
persons witnessed the fall, and seeing
that he was unhurt, laughed at him. lie

HIM to return and procure another am

When the TWO hofsenlen We're about
200 yards beyond the divide, Wallace s
animal became entirely uncomfortable,
and ran away with his master at full
speed. Mr.. Thornton was unable to
keep pace with his companion, On ac-
count of the obstinacy of his own horse,
which refused to move forward. The
ungovernable steed which was dashing
along with Wallace suddenly stopped,
and, turning quickly around, threw his
unfortunate rider distance OF at least
fifteen feet down upon q little ridge of
sharp rocks in the middle of the road.
Wallace was found to be senseless,
and cut about the head, and Mr. Thorn
ton returned to town as quickly as pos
sible to procure a conveyance for his
removal. Before he had time to bring
one, Wallace had been raised into q pass

into town a Distance of perhaps a QUAR-
