of national feelings. FORREST was agrees

towards MAcREADY that was disereditapte "
the nation. MAcRRADY was highly accom-
nlisned actor, and was looked upon as one o.
the hest and most accurate declaimers OF MS

The "reminiscences of such man are OF
course to be highly esteemed. They relate
70 The intercourse of the leading actor OF bis
dap with the most elevated class OF society
in the greatest of nations. It is repfete with
good sentiments and judcious criticisms.
We saw him IN Richmond In the closing
days Of his life. He played "RlcHE1EU "
here In an elegant, scholarly, and diplomatic
stylc. to the infinite delight Of the Richmond
critics. This was shortly after he had been
put in peril Of his life By the rough New
York mob, which had imbibed too much OF
Mr.. FoRREsr's hatred and went too much IN
the line Of " muscular /" manifestation. MA
cREApy was warmly received here.

Not every geodloohing, well-developeo
gentleman would have put that sentence mic

sensible to the " gentle passion" But tnet
he was too earnest man, and made lit
too much serious business, to permit him

him all in all, he was one OF the creates
men that have belonged TO the stage Tor
century. and he maintained through Ions
life and in the following Of profession iul
of peril a reputation remarkable for its pu
rity and also for the great respect in which !
was held.

This is a very frank book, very protes
sional, and very vigorous; but as to whethe
young people ought to know so much tina
is what ne "don't know SO much about
Our own opinion has been that young PEG
ple who know little Of such things are bes
off. Maidenly modesty, youthful virtue, ant
that peace and health that come from goot
lives and gentle education, are best cherished
and of the most perfectly normal conditiof
when sheltered beneath the wings OF inno
cence. knowledge Of many things is tot
Often inseparable from the thoughts ant
the desires that are alien TO the peace
and innocence of youth and the purit!
of heart that adorns society aud repei:

Innocence and virtue are happiest wher
not too well informed Of the complex
studies of our physical natures. The beau
ties and the graces Of form and figure the
lovely hucs of the skin flushed with the
Iife.givng fluid; and all the indeScrloable
and irresistible charms of person, are oil the
more enchanting while we know the least
about the in,ricacics of anatomy. Leave

fit for the dear, unsuspectirg terrestrial
angels and that magic phase oil youth when
there is no advantage gained by knowing
that there are such detestable things as
liver, aud lungs, and a stomach, aud bron-
CHA, etc. Well raised, healthy young peo-
ole want to know nothing Of these things.
| They are better off not to know them.
Nevertheless, it would be folly to attempt

for all concerned that this is for sale by
