We are apt somtimes to assert that
narrow streets and alleys are pro
ductive Of the disease. To certain
extent this is true. Closely confined
tenement houses, without proper air
and ventilation, make sad havoc
with infant lite; but when it succeeds
in overcoming these conditions and
arriving at an age when it can go
out into the streets, We find that their
free, out door existence conduces
more to- health than that system
which makes boys and girls little
ladies aud gentlemen, Wbicn brings
them uI, according to the rules of
fashion and loads them5down with
books when they should be tree and

therefore, that in our love tor edu~
cation We may forget the necessity OF
building up the physical organiza
ton OF the young, and any sux ges-
tons BY those who have made the
human system their study should
receive attention, 50 that physical
and mental growth may not conflict
with each other, but that the rising
generation should grow up with
sound minds in sound bodies. Bal

The most agreeable of all compan
lone is a simple. frank man, without
any high pretentions to an oppressive
greatness; one who loves life, and un
derstands the use of it; obliging alike
at all nou's; above all Of a golden
temper, and steadfast as All anchor.
For snch'a one we gladly exchange
the greatest genius, the most brilliant
wit, the profoundest thinker.

1,416 indoor poor, chargeable to the

District visitors disclose q vast
amount of distress, and the funds at

This is especially the case at Poplar and
Millwall, where thousands of laborars
are thrown out Of employment. Spit

Shadwell and Haggerston suffer severe
ly.
The tradesmen of the entire eastern
districts are crying out about the bad
ness of trade, and even Christmas
wares are a heavy drug in the market.
So severe is the distress in Haggerston
that committees will be formed for the
relief of cases of extreme necessity,
but it will not be supplied through want
of funds.

Berlin, Dec. 23.-The following is

11th:
Your Imperial Highness:
The government believes the agita-
tion among US is caused by few evil
disposed persons. If your highness
will recall to mind the fact that this
agitation las been extending for some
years, AM has met with responses from
all educational establishments of the
country, your highness will scarcely
share in this opinion. The sources of
this agitation are to be found in the in
tolerable position in which the youth Of
Russia are placed. Students outside of
college walls are subjected to police
supervision, while inside they are con-
stantly more and more deprived Of
their rights. They have had taken
from them their right Of meeting to
consider thsir own affairs, and they
have been forbidden to establish fund
for mutual aid. In attempting any
thing of the kind we are threatened
with prosecutions in the most odious
form, by the police administration.
Whenever our rights are concerned our
dispersion becomes law, but whenever
there is question Of burthen to be
horne, We are looked upon as having a
corporate existence. We are deprived
of the independence necessary to
adults.
