Upon the coming events Of the year, rest the hopes

issued by General Burnside on the lst

called the Chicago Times on account of

with the appreciation OF the President

by some nations they have been extensive
ly practised for these purposes. The per-
feet forms of the Greeks, Romans. and
'Persians, were the result of this branch
OF education receiving large share of
national attention. Athletic games were
instituted among them, having for their
object the creation of robust frames, and
increasing the capability of the sinews to
the performance Of their proper functions
Ample provisions for exercise, we think,
should be made at all colleges, seminarics,
and institutions of learning. Violent
gymnastic exercises, however, may be in
jurious as even in the robust and health

{. As youth passes into manhood, care
should be taken to form judicious habits
the most important of which, Is that of
intempermcc-proper solEcontrol of the
appetites and passions. A wild and rcck-
less course in Youth tends to weaken and
cause an early decay of the faculties in
manhood Selfcontrol therefore, should
be Que Of the FIRST principles of youth,
for without it success in life is matter of
extreme doubt. In the pursuit Of hap
piness, wealth or honor, it should be
leading characteristic


We do not wish it understood, that
the physical education should be the sole
object of attention, and the intellectual
and moral culture be neglected, although
we do hold it to be of first importance,
however little attention it may receive
Every obscrvant individual must be but
too well aware of the fact that while our
people are growing rapidly in knowledge,
they are certainly degenerating as race
in strength and stature Does this not
demand public attention? We contend
that it were better Chat high intellectual
attainments should not be reached, than
that the coming generation-thc sons Of
hardy orcfathers-should become race

Mr.. Greeley is, from his position as jour-
nalist, his decided and comprehensive cast
of mind, and his long experience as poll
tician, the most eminently fitted man now
living to write work on this subject.


In his work, he has not embodied any Of
his editorials from the Tribune, hut has
treated the subject in an original, clear,
philosophical and exhaustive manner


It differs from Abbot's and Headleys his
tories in that he does not contine himself to
mere recital Of facts and description of
battles, but argues all the issues growing out
OF the momentous question of slavery, and
discusses its past, present and future connect
tion with Church and State, religion and
morals, and with the social and moral status
Of society.


1t is not necessary that we should draw
the same conclusions that the philosopher
of the Tribune" does, nor to be an ardent
admirer of his. But the perusal of the
views of a man who is an exponent of the
ideas of large portion of the people, can
not but be of great benefit to all loyal, right
thinking persons; even political opponents
would be interested in reading it. Especial
ly will it benefit young men, who have not
had the light of experience to guide them.

A RUSSIAN FABLE.-As an illustration
of the art with which the precepts of re-


ligion may be evaded, even beyond the
ingenuity of Satan himself, it is told in
one of Kryloff7s fables how peasant at
tempted to violate the law OF fasting with
out breaking it's letter. The words of the
precept are, "Ye shall not eat on fast
days any kind of flesh, nor shall ye boil
eggs in water upon your hearths and eat
such eggs" The peasant alluded to
drives nail into the wall and hangs an
egg from it by means of wire. He then
places his lamp under the egg, and cooks
HIN that manner. Being caught in this
Tick by a priest, he alleges as an excuse
that he thought he was not breaking the
Commandments. "Why, the devil must
have Taught you chat" cried the priest,
peeyishly. Z" All, yes, father; confess
the devil did teach me-" ''No; it Is not
true" shouts the devil" who has been
present during the conversation, and
seated on the stove, chuckles at the sight
of the suspended egg; indeed l have not
taught him this, for upon my word, it is

The zeal and alacrity With which the citi-

During the progress of the present rt lbel-
lion the loyal people have been untirin & in
their efforts to relieve the distress inc ident
to war. Many noble objects have been. in
angurated but among them all there is none
more worthy of the generous support Of ou r
people than the Institute of Reward. There
are thousands of children scattered thrt mgh-
out the loyal States who have been b ereft
Of their natural protectors by the fatal bull
let Of the enemies of freedom and U tiOn
while battling for the preservation OIL our
liberties. Those having charge of the In
stitute Of Reward, design to gather the m TO-
gether in the various States, and provide for
them home, and at the same time give them
the advantages of an education. Froua the
State schools they are to be transferred to IA
great National College, where they will he
taught all the branches of learning necessary
to qualify them for any position in life, from
President of the United States down.
As their fathers have died serving their
country faithfully, it is suggested that their
offspring have great claims upon the Govern
ment for the many civil stations which are at
the disposal Of the general and State Co
vernments, and consequently care will be
taken TO instill into the minds of the youth
sach instruction as will peculiarly fit them
TO fill such Offices. An era has arrived in
our history when the condition of our foreign
affairs render it important that our minis
ters and consuls abroad should be fully con-
versant with international law. Such being
the case, it is the intention of the managers
of this Institution TO introduce and provide
a couree Of study which will impart TO the
pupis thorough information on that all
important subject.

and the Institute invites generous compe-

Shall New Castle, Kent or Sussex have
within its bounds this nursery where the
orphans of our patriots are TO find protection
from want and misery, and at the same time
be fitted to act we'll their part when they ar.
rive at maturity? This question the people
must answer for themselves, and it depends
altogether upon the exertions which may be
made by the loyal men in those counties as
10 what shall be the result. Let there be a
generous rivalry, and no matter who proves
successful, all will have the qualification Of
knowing that they have a common interest
in it, and have contributed to high and
noble object.


A National College is to be established,
and Delaware is also competitor for this
prize. Shall we win it? If we go 10 work
in the right spirit we cannot fail of success.
If onr citizens exhibit the same degree of
liberality as has heretofore marked our
course in relation to everything connected
with the preservation of our Union, this edi.
fee may be within the limits of the Diamond
State. 1t is at least worth the trial, and We
would urge upon them to lend their hearty
cooperation to secure it.

The Hair, when diseased, becomes harsh and
dry, and commences to turn grey. which is caus-
ed by the non-secretion, by the capillary glands.
OF u peculiar oil 1t has heretofore been thought
and believed that if the glands were stimulated
into action. they would still eivea sufficient sup
ply of nourishment to the hair; but, alas! they
forgot one very important Law of lure, viz:
that all stimuiants hare their reactiOn; and the
more the glands were stimulated the sooner the
final loss of the much priced locks.


The principle Of the Preparation Invented by
PROFESSOR CROCKETT is entirely the opposite;-
instead Of stimulating the capillary glands, he
in turn, the Hair is fed Ivy them on the same
principle as giving water to flower.


PROFESSOR CROCKETT is aware Of the fact that
the carpings Of the invidious will in 4 great
measure prevent many sensible persons from
using the AMYGDAL4NE; but the day is passed
when a great remedy could he cried down by

The GREAT METROPOLIs.-LOndOn now
covers l2l square miles, having increased
threeAfold since the year 1900; and bricks
and mortar still invade and capture the
green fields. The population, according
to the report of the Registrar General,
augments at the rate of about one thou
sand per week, half by birth and half by
immigration. Notwithstanding the enOr-
nous wealth of the metropolis, it is re-
corded in the report Of the Registrar
General, as a remarkable fact, that zone
in six of those who leave the world, die
in one of the public institutiOns-a work
house, hospital, asylum or prison. Nearly
one in eleven of the deaths, is in a work
house" This shows that poverty follows
close at the heels of wealth, and fastens
on the multitude with relentless grasp.
Every sixth person dies q pauper or a
criminal Can this be said of any other
city on the globe ? And how great n
number there must be who barely man
age to escape this fate. The severe cons
petition for subsistence and wealth which
characteriZes London life. is a terrible
ordeal for any human being to pass
through, and thousands fail IN the at

gernaut 1t is now notorious, says a
London paper, that in the large estab-
| lishments where some hundreds of assis-
tants are employed, the great majority
of them are broken down tradesmen,
crushed by the competition of capital.
Even these occupations are obtained with
difficulty, and the less fortunate, gradu~
ally sink lower and lower in the scale,
till they are driven into the public insti~
tutions, where they meet an untimely
death. The list is further swelled by that
numerous class, who, born in respecta-
| bic sphere and well educated, sink into
degradation from the sheer love of dis


play, and the vanity Of living beyond
their means. 1t is on record, that out OF
5000 Convicts who have passed their pro-
baton in Pentonville, 1000 fell through
this wretched vice, and it is added that
