MAY I, 1873.

same sakred volume, we have narrated a
case in pint-that of one, Benjamin,
which you all hearn about
"a silver cup, worth hundred times
as much as this trumpery sheep, was dis
kivered, not way off in Benjamin smoke
house, whar Benjamin moughtn't a been
for week, but chucked into the mouth
of the very sack he was ridin' onto.
Benjamin was innocent But my breeth-
ering, if it was Benjamin's luck, instead
of my poor unfortunate clients, to be
this day on trial before you, you would
be obliged, according to my onexperienc-
ed brother, to bring him in guilty, in
spite of Scripture, and consign him to a
place whar he'd have to wear a coat of
many colors of very different stripe
from his brother Joseph's.'
Il not only lost the CASE said the
Judge, "but my Office at the next cleo
ton; my attempts TO confute old Poll

doubt in the minds of the community as
to the soundness of my religious views" )"

influence of Association on Character.

We all WELD an influence, either for
good or evil. The little infant, as we
look upon its sweet countenance, so eX-
pressive of innocence and purity, impress
es US with thoughts of goodness and re-
finement. We listen to voice full of
tenderness and sincerity, and our hearts
will be moved toward that which is pure
and noble. On the other hand, when we
behold that face, every feature of which
is an index to rage and passion, and hear
nothing but evil expressions, our
thoughts are at once diverted from that
which is holy and God-like-for human
nature is such that like will produce
like" Gentle words will touch the ten
der chords of the heart; while harsh ones
produce nothing but bitter retorts.
Youth is the time when character is
formed How important then, that our
children should have for associates such
persons, and such only as we could wish
them to be like when they grow up to be
men and women. All children, if we
may be allowed the expression, are actors
How quickly innocent lips will learn to
pronounce improper and evil words, in
nocent minds to think evil, and innocent
hands to do that which is wrong-at first
merely initiating what they see in those
around them-without the consciousness
of going astray Thus it is that bad hab-
its are formed, and the young are too
often ruined for both time and eternity
If children had nothing but examples of
good in those with whom they daily asso-
ciate, parents would experience very lit
tie difficulty in rearing their offspring to
walk in the pathway of rectitude. Have
you ever thought of these things, dear
parents2 Have you ever thought how
important it is to practice in your fami-
lies and before the world that which you
wish to teach your children2
In view of the foregoing facts, there is
a great responsibility resting upon pa
rents in the selection of teachers to whom
they intrust the molding of the minds
and characters of their children. The
man who will fly into rage, and jerk or
cuff child about in the school-room, is a
disgrace.to his profession, and should not
be tolerated in any civilized community
l would think as much of taking SER
pent into my bosom, as to make such q
tyraat a pattern for my child. The for
mer could do no more than poison the
mortal body; the latter tho immortal
mind.
Christ is our true model. He loved
little children, and blessed" them The
person who loves little ones, and who is
gentle, kind-hearted, and courteous at all
times, as well as educated, is the one, and
the only one, qualified to instruct the
immortal mind. Psychological JoVHai

The Right Way to Put It.

An accomplished lady of this city, who
is tired Of hearing the debate as to
whether women are equal to men in ca
pacity, thinks the question a very differ
ent one. 1t is not as to equality of sex
es, but as to the extent in which women
are superior, The fact of their superior
ity was long since settled, but the degree
of it is yet to be ascertained. No less
than four hundred years ago Henry Cor
nelius Agrippa wrote in Latin a treatise
"On the Excellence and Superiority of
Women" which having been translated
in French, by Amaudin, of Paris, is now
re-translated in this city, and published
by the American News Company.
Agrippa's argument is curious, if not
convincing. In the first place, the name
given to the first woman is more noble
than that given to the first man, Adam
signifying Earth and Eve, Life, and as
life is superior to earth, so is woman to
man. This may, seem puerile kind of
logic; but it is not according to Agrippa,
because the Lord, who created all things
and named them, knew perfectly well
the qualities of each; and when he gave
a name it was expressive of the inward
nature. Again, woman is the masterpiece
of creation, because while the earth, the
stars, man were made of the coarser and
moro corruptible elements, she was made
the creative masterpiece and perfection.
All the rest had been but a preparation
for her, the Queen of the Universe.
Furthermore, Agrippa contends that
the place of her origin was not without
its meaning, for while man was created
outside of Paradise, she was created
Within as if nothing but perfect nature
with the most lovely and charming en-
vironment, was fitted for the habitation
of so exquisite form and person. Then,
again, the woman was not guilty as the
man in that original sin; she is far hand
somer in figure, has a sweeter voice,
more innate wisdom, a stronger faith;
while her history shows that in any high
function and capacity she has been dis
tinguished by the honor, the fidelity and
the goodness with which she has dis
charged her trust.
The argument of Agrippa has since
been exppounded by Mrs Farnum, Mar
garet Fuller, and others, but it is none
the less interesting as one of the earliest
vindications of "Wo Womans 5 Right"

Changing Clothing.

Health and sometimes life itself is
often lost by laying aside winter clothing
too early. Laying hannels aside in the
spring is a most pernicious practice
They are as necessary in July as in Jan
uary. We cannot better do without
woolens next the skin in midwinter than
in midsummer. We do not get over
heated in winter; we Go in summer; and
the most frequent exciting cause of
coughs, colds, and consumption is rapid
falling of the temperature of the body
All are familiar with the fact that sud
den checking of perspiration is always
dangerous; very little exercise causes US
to perspire in summer, and very slight
draft of air checks the perspiration;
hence, eminent French physicians have
stated, after long series of observations,
that colds taken in summer excite the
most lncurable forms of consumption
White woolen flannel is the most efficient
guard against these sudden changes, be-
cause it keeps the heat of the body in,
while it Fepels the excessive heat from
without; it conveys the water of perspi-
ration to its outside, while the surface
next the skin is drier We AL know that
silk, cotton, and linen next the skin get
saturated with water, and if, for an In
stant, the slightest draft of air gets be-

is charnel-like chill when that material
touches the skin.
The rule should be to wear white wool
en- flannel next the skin all the year
round; thick in winter, little thinner
in April, gauze material on the first day
of July; on the first of October resume
what was laid aside in July; on the first
of December put on the thickest, extend
ing to ankles and wrists.
These rules of change are especially
necessary to all old people, to all fnvalids
and young children; day laborers and all
outdoor workers would be intellectually
benefited by the same observances.-

Coal.

We propose to chat with our little
friends upon Coal, which is the most val
liable fuel in existence. We speak of it
as mineral, while it is of vegetable ori-
gin. Every part of it, except small
earthly residium, once formed part OF a
living plant. There is kind called
"Lignite," which consists of little else
than fossilized trees; but most varieties
have their origin in peat-producing
Enthusiastically mosses-which in the
course of ages have been changed into
coal Relics of the trees which fiourished
beside the peat are frequently seen, and
even the original structure of the wood
can be traced. The area of all the known
coal-felds in the world is reckoned to be
100000 square miles-more than the
whole surface of France. Prof. Rogers
