Of either study or hard work Teach
er, donOt fear any evil results attend
ant upon too close mental appIca-
ton Of such a temperament, but
rather labor to induce closer study,
as such persons generally have the
physical constitution necessary to
bear them up; and the teacher viii
find it necessary, or at least as an
Indictment to greater efforts on the
part Of the pupil, to allow frequent
recesses and change of position.
As the n1otjge temperament is
more rarely met with in the child
than the other two Of which we have
spoken, We viii but briefly give It a
passing notice. The pupil in whom
this temperament is predominant,
as a student, viii be slow and dull,
receiving impressions with difficulty,
and requiring much illustration and
explanation to enable him to fully
comprehend the instruction. There
is no brilliancy about him, but he is
sound, practical and strong, and if
we, as teachers, can succeed in arous-
ing the sluggish energies Of his
mind, We may some day be proud in
saying-''He was my pupil; I gave
his mind its early discipline and
drew out, by persistent effort, his
latent capacities. J.E. o.

Though it has always fOurished most
in the Congenial atmosphere of civil
and religious liberty yeniOyed under Prot
eStant government, yet at no time has
any branch Ofthe Christian church been
excluded from participation in its privi-
legeS, and of late it has opened its pOr-
tails TO Jews and other believers in the
purer forms of Mo1otheism. Though
numbering amongst its members many
Of the best and Wsest of men, it has
been prosecuted by fome European gov
ernm ents with relentless cruelty, and is
still denounced By the Romish hier-
aTChy as an impi0us association, the
members Of which are {pso fact0 excom-
municate. In Other countries it is often
looked on as a great benefit society, the
high pTetensions and pOmpous aCces-
sories of which are calculated to pro-
woke a smile of amusement, if not Of con-
tempt. Great, however, are the benefits
of Free masonry; it is far more than a
benefit society. It may be defined, in
its own words, as a beautiful system Of
morality, Yeiled in allegory, and illus
trated by symbols" It lives and in
structs in emblems and symbols, in

Discovery of North America.

A Wall street broker laid a wager one
day that Christopher Columbus discOv-
cred the continent Of North America,
and, of course, lost it. 1t is surprising
how many intelligent persons entertain
the same error. Knowing that he dis
covered a number of islands IN the west
ern hemisphere, they think he must Of
necessity have discovered the continent
also. They forget that he died in ignOr-
ance of the grandeur Of his achievement,
believing Cuba, Terra Firma and other
islands he had found, to be remote
parts of Asia. AmerigO VespuCCi, after
whom North and South America is
named, did not discover this continent
properly, either The land he disCOv-
cred lay near the equator, and he, too,
was deluded with the notion that it was
a portion Of Asia. John Cabot was the
dIsCOverer Of North America (sOme sup
pose in May, 1497), which he likewise
supposed TO belong to the dOminiOns Of
the Grand Cham. He sailed along the
coast for 800 leagues, and went ashore,
without finding any human being, al
though he believed the country to be in
habited 1t isremarkable that the three
great discOverers of the western world
having been born in Genoa, VespucCi in
Florence, and Cabot presumably in Ven
ice. The birthplace Of Cabot is uncer-
tain, as are his age and the place and
time of his death. But the fact that the
license granted him by Henry VII calls
him KabOtta, Venetian, would seem to
determine the question of his nativity.
The DISCOVERIES had a sorry fortune.
Columbus, as we are aware, was treated
with the blackest ingratitude by the
King of Spain. When officers of the YES
sci on which he was carried, a prisoner,
to Spain offered to remove his chains,
imposed upon him by royal order, he re-
piled, Il will wear them asa reminder Of
the gratitude of princes" He died, as
everybody knows, neglected, in extreme
poverty, of q broken heart. VespuCci
had many trials and died poor, and
Cabot fell into such obscurity that no one
can tell how or when or where he died
Surely the auguries attendant on the
birth of the western world were not
favorable, and in q supers6tiOus age
might have led to the belief that its his
tory would never be marked by good
fortune.

"A New York doctor has daughter
who is now % years oId-a perfectly
formed woman, with the exception of
her head, which is that Of a pigs. Her
mother died in giving her birth. She
speaks half a dozen languages perfectly.
She is thoroughly educated. Being de-
barred from all human association by
her misfortune, she has sought and
found partial alienation in the cultiva-
ton Of art in all its forms. She has
one of the purest, highest and truest
souls. She is very religious naturally
so. She goes out in a close carriage and
with her head closely mufled, and she
speaks without any difficulty; but owing
to the peculiar formation Of her throat,
mouth and nasal organs, the sound OF
her voice resembles very closely the
squeaking Of a pig.

Landinn q Whale.

A real whale was caught in the Rari-
tan Bay, near Port Monmouth. The car
cass of the enormous fish was anchored
near an old fish-oil factory, where the
lucky fishermen who struck a bonanza
in the capture of a sperm whale melted
the blubber in large iron pots.
The whale was first seen about sun
rise bv fisherman named Ludlow, on
Port Comfort Shoals, about nine miles
from Sandy Hook. He saw the large
black object in the water, but thought 1t
was a wreck of some vessel, and did not
90 near it. George Pope, also Usher
man, went out in a small boat Tor the
purpose of catching some oysters, and on
nearing the shoals noted the large dark
body in the water. On approaching II,
he found that it was a large, live fish OF
some kind, and, having no other weapon,
he commenced Sticking his oyster knife
into the side of the whale, but, seeing
that it had no effect, he went to the
shore and procured the assistance OF
fellow fisherman with an axe.
They returned to where the whale was
still lying; the boat was then backed up
to the whales head when one Of the
men commenced chOppingI 1t IN the head
with the axe. Fortunately for the boat
men, the whale did not struggle much
until they were some distance away,
when it commenced to founder, and
roll, and in a short time succeeded in
getting off the shOal and started toward
Sandy Hook. The fishermen, not know
ing the danger they we're in, started after
it and tried to catch or drive it toward
the shore by throwing their anchor into
its spout, and at one time, while thus
endeavOring to catch the enormous fish,
it passed under their boat, almost lifting
it out of the water. The whale was fol
lowed down the bay several miles, and
with the aid of other fishermen, who
we're in boats, it was driven ashore.
With a scythe borrowed from a neigh
boring farmer, the whale was finally
killed by stabbing in the side. A
schooner then took the carcass in tow and
brought it to the Brays landing.
Captain Bilson, who is an old whaler,
and has been in the South Indian seas,
stated that this was a very large cow
whale, it being thirty-fye feet long and
about nine in diameter, and yielding
over thirty barrels Of sperm oil.

served was found under stones, near

siderable difficulty, writes Mr.. W., "but
not, however, until I had received
several doses of his powerful effluVia,
which obliged me each time to retreat

Sermon in tha MiddLa Enea-

The beasts were once determined to
keep Lent strictly, and to begin by max
ing their confessions. The Lion was
appointed cOnfessOr. The first to be
shriven came the Wolf, who, with ex-
pressions of remorse acknowledged him
self a grieYous sinner, and confessed
that he had-yes, he had-eaten lamb.
'Any extenuating circumstances ?' asked
the Lion. "Well, yes, there were" re-
piled the Wolf; "for the mother who
bore me, and my ancestors from time
mmemorial, have been notable lamb
eaters, and what's born in the bone is
bound to come out in the flesh" quite
50" said the COnfeSsOr; your penance
is this-say one PaternOster." The next
to approach the tribunal of penanCe
was the Fox, with dropping tail, a lach-
rymose eye and humble gait. 'I have
sinned, father" began Reynard, beating
his breast; 81 have sinned gTieyOusly
through my own fault. I-I-I-yes, l
did once eat a hen" "Anv extenuating
circumstances P' asked the Lion. Two"
replied the penitent. Il must say the
fault was not quite my own. The hen
was grossly fat, and it roasted within
reach. Now if she had been an asCe-
III anu lGAl Biz kOllC " BlEED III EOlllC
tree, should never have touched her, I
assure you, father. There is some
truth in that" said the COnfessOr; "say,
as penance, one PaternOster." Next
came the Donkey, hObbling up to the
confessional, and her broken ee-yaWs
could be heard from quite q distance.
For some time the poor old brute was so
convulsed with sObs that not a word
she said could be distinguished. At
last she gulped forth that she had
sinned in three things. "And what are
they% asked the Lion, gruf1y. ooh,
father" first Of all, as walked along the
roads I found thistles and grass in the
hedges; they were so tempting that
that-ee-yaw, ee-yaw, ee-yaw" go
on" grOWled the Lion; you ate them
you committed robbery. Vile monster !
I shudder at the enormity of your
crime" Secondly" continued the
Donkey, "as 1 came near a monastery,
one summers day, the gates were wide
open to air the ClOisteTs; impelled by
curiosity, I-I-I-just ventured to walk
in, and l think I may have somewhat
befOuled the pavement" "Whatp eX-
claimed the COnfessOr, rising in his seat
and shaking his name, center the sane
tuary dedicated to religion you, a
female-knowing that it is against the
rules of the order. that none but males
should intrude; and then, too, that little
circumstance about the pavement p'
go on" said the Lion, grimIy. 30,
father" sighed the poor penitent, 'the
holy monks were all IN the chapel, and
singing in the office. They sangsO beauti-
full that my heart was lifted up within
me, and at the close of a Collect my
feelings OverCame me and I tried to say
Amen, but produced only an ee-yaw
which interrupted the service, and hin
dered the devotion of the monks"
'Horrible!' cried the Lion, his eyes
flashing with pious zeal, his hair brist-
ling with yirtuous indignation, mon
ster, stepped in crime, is there any peni-
tence to infict on you? l." The
reader may guess what became of the
helpless beast.
