from the observation Of things anG in
tercourse with men the nature result
OF long series Of requirement upon
requirement in he various fields of
knowledge; the development of the
mind by proper training to .hc full cx-
tent of all its poten,iaities. Now, if
a man spends his life, even to old age.
in hard, unremitting study for the im-
prOvement of all its faculties and for
the extention of his knowledge in every
possible form, then, the hoarv hcad :
indeed to him :. rrown of glory as In
dicatve of rich experience and high
culture-the matU.. effect of life
times study But here emerges the
question whether he intellectual en-
cellcncy so conspicuous in old age is
the native effect of that period of life,
or the accumulated issue of Youthful
study stored up in the distinct cham
bers of the mind for appropriate use.
We indeed owe nuch of what We are
in old agc O. what we were in youth.
If we We're in youth, diligent stu
dents, u will, if we pursue knowl-
edge with the same diligence, excel
ourselves in youth by a ripper scholar
ship and by finer equipoise of mind,
or by nicer balance among its facul-
ties but there are qualities of mind
peculiar to old age, and Independent
of our training in youth. In old age,
there is less flow of animal spirits,
but greater power of reflective med
itatloa ; a less outburst of passion, bur
greater amount of contouplativo
thought less capability of being
carried away with the mere impress
sions of things, but a greater aptness
of apprehending the principles of
them a less susceptibility as to the
charms of things, but greater intent
ness upon the realities of them; and
on in comparative contrast of one
part with another in bis progressive
being onward to old age Here, again
emerges another question, whether
there is less intellectual activity in
old age than in youth. In this case,
as in the one just disposed of in few
words, old age does not yield to youth
in intellectual activity. This is borne
out by the severe studious habits Of
old men, by the vigorous thought and
general intelligence they manifest in
daily intercourse of life by a keen
apprehension, laying hold of things in
their true character as with an intui-
tive glance by ready memory sug-
gestive of trains of ideas upon things
which occupy the mind by deep pen
etration into the nature Of things,
evolving their laws, properties, and
uses or applications by broad views
of things, showing their bearings, ,rela-
tions, and concentrations by cor
versation fertile in resources or rich in
materials indicative of the operations
of thoughtful mind, or of an ency-

Last night a good looking deaf and
dumb girl visited the Adams street sta
tion.house and wrote down that she
wished to have man arrested whom
she claimed was the father of her lille
gitimate child. This unfortunate girl is
from Alabama, and had evidently been
educated in a deaf and dumb asylum.
She writes well and rapidly, and has a
correct idea Of punctuation, spelling
and grammar. Some months since she
came from Little Rock and was arrested
by the police. Chisf Athy obtained a
situation for her in g reputable family,
but from some cause she left it. Since
that time she has bean arrested several
times, often with other inmates Of a
house Of ill-fame. At present she is a
resident of such den Of infamy, and is
the mother of newly born infant. Here
is an opportunity for the good Samari.
tans of our city to do good. This
poor unfortunate has drifted into the
ocean of sin, owing to poverty and lack
Of friends, and the horrible life she is
now leading will ere long place her in
hospital, and eventually in an early
grave. That she can be reclaimed is
not beyond hope, and that the effort to
reclaim her should be made must be ad-
mitted by every Christian man and wo-
man To see the poor girl writing the
brief story Of her sad and wicked life,
and to watch her expressive face as she
replies to all questions put to her on
paper creates painful and melancholy
feeling ip the bosom of every man who
has had)the opportunity Of seeing her
at the station.house. Whosoever desires
to know her whereabouts and to make
the praise-wsrthy attempt at her recla-
nation can get all necessary particulars
by applying to Chief Of Police Athy.
Here is a field worthy of the philan-
thropist.

Rennir the Nicolson

Now that the Mayor has vetoed
the General Council plan of repairing
the worn.o out Nicolson by filling in the
holes with rock and gravel, it becomes
an important question, What nextY Our
scientific man, after consulting with
several civil engineers, finds out that a
wooden pavement cannot be repaired
with rock, except as temporary I'M
proyement of but short duration. The
pavement is laid down in sections
running lengthwise of the street,
fourteen feet, the length OF the
plank bed underneath. If a section
fourteen feet in length and extend
ing from curb to curb is taken up and
rock laid down in its placefit may do,
but there is something better than that.
You can take up two or more feet
square of pavement and fill in with
Tishomingo gravel, well driven, which,
after rain or two, forms cement or
concrete ething that rock can
never do. This would only give tempo
rary relief, however, for few months.
Memphis needs system of permanent
repairs on the streets, so as to give us a
pavement lasting and durable. To do
this there are two plans suggested,
one very costly, viz to take up the
Nicolson altogether and put down
the best stone pavement known
to engineers. The city cannot afford
this outlay in its present almost bank
rupt condition, as it is not able to pay
off the police and 6remen, to whom it
owes from three to six months wages.
The other plan looks to the same result,
but is gradual in its progress. 1t is as
follows, and it meets with the indorse-
ment of many intelligent Aldermen and
Councilmen who are able to grasp the
subject in its full bearing: To take up
the Nicolson for one or two squares on
Main street; with the best blocks repair
the pavement, and in place of the pave
ment torn up lay down good rock pave
meut in its place, and when needed con
tinue the programme, which in a few years
will do away with the rotten Nicolson
altogether, and have in its place fine
rock pavement, which will be an orna-
ment and benefit to the city, In order
to do all this two things have to be set
tied which we think are already settled:
First, that the Nicolson is a wornout
and costly swindle. Second, that as
substitute rock pavement must be put
down sooner or later. The above
suggestions are thrown out for the con-
sideration Of our enterprising city gov
eminent and General Council.
