Old Fogies.A term applied to men behind the aire.

dull, heavy and inactive. It is evidentlyderived from the word foggy, thick.cloudy and dull; tons men who lire inan atmosphere of tueir own, and whoseviews are limited, are called foggy' a orold fogies, as the phrase is now. Another derivation is given to it of a pecu-liar body of men, who were called oldfogies. They were old men dressed inred coats and cocked hats, and were asort of invalid company who performedvarious trivial duties. These men firstmade their singular appearance in Edin-burgh at the close of the last century.The writer, however, gives no reasonwhy they were called old fogies,' hencethe origin above seems to be the mostreasonable and equally applicable tothis peculiar body. Others derive theword foa from cr, fyty-- , SoyaWa, tofollow, to accompany, dec, 'Infinate benthe aorwea and the teres of old ftUc'--OUratarr.'' Fogey, says Halliwell, 'is an eccen-

to make him manly, I would treat hintkindly and generously. Professor Wash-born- e

said he had never yet found aman or a woman so bad but that theybad a tender point, which could be reach-ed if they were treated as human beings,and as one's own sister or brother. Af-ter speaking of the progress made inrecent years. in the matter of disciplinein schools, and the amelioration of thetreatment of lunatics, convicts and sail- -'

ors, he closed by declaring corporeal'punishment to be morally and physicallywrong, and urging the adoption of theresolve as a duty which the meetingowed to itself, and to Cambridge as a seatof learning.' After an hour's more warm discus-sion, a motion to renominate the oldBoard of School Committee was lost,by 154 to 248. A new board, --opposedto corporeal punishment, was then se-

lected.The hall was packed to its full capac-

ity during the whole evening, ' and themeeting was one of the most excivingever held in Cambridge.

Methodism and Sunday Schools.

The Sunday School Journal for No-vember shows that the germinal idea ofSunday Schools originated in the mindof a Wesleyan lady, Miss Sophia Cooke,who afterward became the wife of Rev.Samuel Bradburn. Pointing to the rag-ged, sweating children iH the streets ofGloucester. England, Bohert Rsikesasked her this question t 'What cau wedo for these poor neglected ehildren ?''Let us,' said Miss Cooke, 'teach them toread and take them to Church,' and act-

ing on the suggestion, Mr. Raikes hiredseveral ladies to teach reading and wri-

ting, and the Catechism to such childrenas he might send them. ;

American Methodism gave the Sab-bath School to America, Francis Asburyhaving established the first SabbathSchool in the country, at the house ofThomas Crenshaw, in Hanover county,Va. It is customary to speak of theSunday Schools begun in Philadelphia,in 1S91, under the auspices of Dr. Rush,Bishop White, snd others, as the firstorganized in the United States, butBishop Asbury and Mr. Crenshaw wereby five years the pioneers in the matter.

FalstatT in a Fix.

Many ara the tales told f theatricalmishaps resulting from what axe techni-cally and irreverently called gag, butnone more ludicrous than one which oc-curred in the writer's experience. Atthe time when the ranting lever (thefever for becoming lean by principle)was at its hight in London, a well-know- n

American star, not Mr. Hackett,by the way, visited the great metropolisto play Sir John FalstatT, in Henry VI.Like most Americans, he was in advanceof the age in which he lived, and haddevised a notable plan tor ridding Fal-statT of the incubus of a stage belly.An India-rubbe- r bag was made by hisdirection, so as to fit h's body, and thisbeing inflated with wind and screweddown, formed even a more admirable af-

fair than the conventional padding.Behold then, a well fitted and brilliant

theater, a brilliant stage manager, an ex-

pectantI

company, and a prematurelyconfident star. It was in the holidayseason, too, and the fame which theAmerican actor had gained in othercountries having preceded him, the pub-lic and the critics were on the qui vivefor his debut on the English stage. But,unfortunately, this gentleman had of-fended the stock leading man in somemanner, and the aforesaid stock leadingman determined to be revenged upon theman who had suddenly bereft him of hislaurels. The India-rubbe- r machine hadgot noised abroad, and it was mysterious-ly whispered abroad about the dressing-roo- m

that Fsilstaft was to have a patentbelly. The leading man, learning all theparticulars, decided upon the course tobe pursued.

Being duly inflated, therefore, andcarefully screwed up, FaUtafl made bisappearance, and was received withrounds of applause. The first act pas-sed off amid thunders of approval, asfar as FalstatT was concerneJ, and it wasnot until the first scene of the secondact that the vindictive leading man de-

termined to take his revenge. Just atthe moment, therefore, as Prince Henrysays to Falstaff, 'Peace, ye fat, he probedthe abdomen of the ill-fat- knight witha small bodkin. The effect was imme-

diate and alarming. It was Ranting out-done. Gradually the plethoric old knightbegan to collapse, while a slight hissingsound warned him of what was occur-

ring. The audience saw Falstaff wast-

ing away before their eyes. His declinewas fearfully rapid. He could no longerbe said to 'sweat to death, aad lard thegreen earth as he walked along, althoughhe was really in a perspiration all over.The poor star was in great alarm; theleading man was frightened at the suc-

cess of his scLeme: the audience roaredwith laughter, and Falstaff, for that nightat least, was emphatically played it.

What WomskShocld Do. We haveoften set forth and will now reiterate,that we do not wish to have women emu-

late the masculine character or pursuits.We look higher of feminine perfectness.Our desire U to make womanly aspira-tions more exalted than any pursuit ofmaterial good can ever lead , to. Wewould have the woman of America showsuch examples of truthfulness and intel-

ligence, of goodness and piety, thatwhen men see one of their own sex whoexcels in all that is really noble, great,and manly, they mav say what was saidof the wise Greek of old "He was

taught by his mother.

Those landswere then considered pledged for thepulic credit The passage of the "Homestead Biiry having virtually opened thepublic domains to private settlers, thereseems now no hindrance to plans thataim to raise the condition and characterof those industrious pioneers, in the now"

unoccupied regions where the Americanj flag is to protect the citizens of the United States. Moreover, as the bill for en-

dowing "Agricultural Colleges" has pro-vided aids for the pursuits of men, willnot Congress furnish, also, facilities forthe benefit of women ? We trust in thewisdom anJ patriotism of Americanstatesmen to decide this important ques-tion and submit the following in thename of the women of the UnitedStates: Ladyt Bool:

MEMORIAL :

To the Honorable 'Senate and House ofRepresentatives in Congress assembled?

There are now more than two millionsof children in our country destitute ofthe opportunity of education, demand-ing sixty thousand teachers to supply themat the same ratio aa is common in ourbest educated sections, we respectfullybeg to call yo--r attention to these conaiderations :

1. That, while the great West, Califor-nia, and the wide ocean invite young men

1 to wealth and adventure, and while thelabors of the school room offer so littlerecompense or honor, the sixty thousandteachers needed cannot be obtained fromtheir ranks; and, therefore, the youngwomen of our country must becometeachers of the common schools, or thesemust be given up.

2. That the reports of common schooleducation prove women are the bestteachers, and that in those States whereeducation is most prosperous the aver-age of these teachers to that of the othersex is as five to one.

3. That while, as a general rule, wo-men are not expected to support fami-lies, nor to pajrXrom . fchirernina . tosupport the State, they can afford toteach for a smaller compensation thanmen ; and, therefore, funds bestowed toeducate yocnq women gratuitously willin the end prove a measure of wiseeconomy, and at the same time will tendto render education more universal andmore elevated by securing the best classof teachers at a moderate expense.

4. That those most willing to teach arechiefly found in the industrial class,which as yet has received few favorsfrom National or State Legislatures.

5. That providing such gratuitous ad-

vantages for women to act as educatorswill secure a vast number of well-educate- d

teachers, not by instituting a class ofcelibates, but by employing the nnoccupied energies. . 1

of thousandsT It of .young

women irom meir scnoot-uay- s to meperiod of marriage, while, at the sametime, they will thus be qualifying them-selves for the most arduous duties oftheir future domestic relations.

Ia view of these considerations, yourmemorialists petion that ten millions ofACRES OF TI1E TIBLIC NATIONAL DOMAINbe set apart to endow at least one FreeXational Xormal School in every State forthe gratuitous education of tocn a wo-men.

These institutions could be modelledand managed in each State to suit thewishes of inhabitant ?; and j o ng ladies ofevery section would be trained as in-

structors for children in their own vicin-

ity ; this would be found of immense ad-

vantage in the States where schools havehitherto been neglected.

While such vast portions of the na-tional domain are devoted to nationalaggrandizements or physical advantages,we humbly petition that a moderate sharemay be conferred to benefit the daugh-ters of our Republic, and thus at thesame time to provide educators for twomillions of its most neglected children.

Note. We give this "Memorial" in-

sertion here to show what progress haslrcady been made in public opinion on

the subject of donating lands for educa-tional purposes. . Those members ofCongress who are taking an interest inthis grand design are sure of success ifthey persevere. An appeal so worthy,so just, so necessary for the best inter-ests ol humanity and for the highestcivilization of our Republic must becomepopular. The plan may be delayed ; itcannot fail.

Texas is one of the greatest cattle re-

gions of the country ; for in that Statethe plains, which become more and more

j barren the nearer they approach thenorth, are lower and more fertile, and

Everyperson who has a parent pair, goes outin the Spring and brands every younganimal that has not already fallen intorival hands. In this way a person witha worn old bull and an infant heifer hasbeen known to acquire valuable posses-sions. The herds receive no care, butrun wild. Indeed, they are too large tobe easily managed, for there is one stock-raise- r

THE MIRACLES OF SCIENCE.

Or How Tney IUatrate the Tratk .f Re.ligioa. ;

One little fact often furnishes a textfor a large discourse. A trifling inci-dent may suggest reflections on which awise man shall ponder long, and whichmay lead him to great results. The ap-

ple that fell on Newton's head set himto thinkins, and led him to discover thelaw of gravitation which holds the plan- - ,

ets in their orbits. Perhaps, If Newtonwere living now, he would be led into asimilar train of reflection by an itemnoted in our "scientific" column, namely:that a message had been telegraphedacross the Atlantie by a battery fired ina lady's thimble I The statement is soextraordinary, .that we should be slow tobelieve it, if we only saw it floating aboutin the papers. But the fact is confirmedby a private letter, which we have beenpermitted to see, from the eminent elec-tricia- n

who made the experiment - Hewrites that he has been down at Valen- -

tia for a week repeating all the tests ofthe two cables at bis leisure, lie findsthem both marvelonsly perfect. Theold one is even a little better than thenew one, but this is doubtless owing toits having been longer submerged, timeimproving the quality of gutta prcha.But the new one has improved very muchsince it was submerged in July, and hedoes not know which, will finally provethe better. . It is as one of his experi-ments that he relates the following :

"With a single galvanic cell, composedof a few drops of acid u a silver luiqible and a fragment of ' 'iuc weighing agrain or two, couversati n may readily,though slowly, be carried n either throone of the cables or thr',Th the twojoined together at Newfoundland so asto form a loop; and although in the lat-ter case the spark, twico traversing thebread Ui of the Atlantic, has to passtrough 3,700 nautical miles of cable, or4,300 to 4,400 statute miles, its effects atthe distant end are visible on the ?!vanometer in a little more than a secondafter contact is made witti tue oaixery.The deflections are of a dubious charac-ter, but full and strong, the spot of lighttraversing freely throu jh a space oftwelve or eighteen inch on the scale,and it is manifest that a battery verymany times smaller would suffice to pro-duce similar effects."

Thia little fact might be used with mucheffect by one giving a lecture on Elec-tricity, as the latest proof of its incredi-bl- o

.Yelocvtjr. JiatJt suggest daobeautt'ul analogy tdTt SpiTfhraTTutTrathe communication of the human soulwith God. Thought is Bwifterthan thelightning ; and if in a second of time aspark may fly from continent to conti-nent, why should it be thought a thingincreadible that the desires of a humanheart should thus be wafted to the throneof God ?

The existence in nature of an agentso subtile and mysterious inseeo. yetdwelling in very object, developed bythe slightest causes, and often dashingout upon us with terrific power is per-haps the best illustration of the univer-sal presence of that Unseen Power whichwe come in contact every instant. ThusGod is not far from every one of us. Likethe air, which floats all over the roundworld, which stirs the leaves of the forest and the waves of tlx? sea, so is thepresence of God it is all around us bynight as well as da, and in Him we liveand move and all have our being.

How easy then for man to communewith his Maker! He is not a God afaroff, but very nigh, even to the lowliest ofhis creatures. Aud bow slight a thingarrests his ear! It needeth not lie voice- -

of a great congregation, filling the arch-es of a cathedral, and rising up to heavenlike the Bouud of many, waters., Manmay pray alone, in solitude aad in weak-ness, and yet God can hear.

Agair the scientific fact helps us tounderstand the spiritual truth. A fewyears ago, when men first talked of telegraphing across the Atlantic, they thotat least they had need to muster out allthe forces in the armory of nature: theymust send out a current of electricitythat should be almost like a flash of light-rin- g

from the thunder cloud. And sothe electricians of that day ranged . onthe bights of Valeatia a battery of fivehundred cells, wlt'i which they fired offinto the bosom of the oeian. Needlesspomp and preparation! When now only aspark from a lady's thimble may traversethe whole breadth of the Atautic !

So is it with prayer. It matters nothow weak the voice which utters it, hOwlowly the source from wh oh it comes, ifit be a true spirit of devotion, it willreach its object As the spark from thattiniest of galvanic cells flies across thesea, so the feeblest desire tb at tremblesin a human breast may make its flutter-ing felt even in the infinite bosom of God,He beareththe young ravens when theycry. Nor is He unmoved by the suppli-cations of the weakest and lowliest ofhis human creatures The sailor boyswinging in his hammo2k, a child lost inthe forest, or even roe'dngin its cradle,may lisp a prayer that , will reach theear of God.

THE ANTI-BIRC- H MOVEMENT.

Speeches by Frof. Agaaaia aad Oth-

ersCorporeal .Faaitaaacat ia SckoolsCondemned. ,

(From the Boston Advertiser, November 27

The municipal caucus of the Repub-licans of Cambridge met in the City Hall,last evening, according to adjournment

Dr. ilorrill Wyman onerea tne ioiiow-in- g

resolution :Unsolved, Tfiat it is the opinion of this

meeting that corporeal punishment ofgirls should be abolished in each andevery public aeliool in this city. :

Dr. "Wyrnan advocated his resolutionin a speech of considerable length,

and answering the argumentsof the Investigating Committee of theSchool Board, in their report sustainingthe action of the teachers engaged inthe recent whipping of a school girl.He observed that, until last ' April, hewas not aware that a rule existed whichauthorized the infliction of corporealpunishment upon girls in the publicschools of Cambridge. In Prussia, suchpunishment had been abolished for aquarter of a century, and in many of ourcities it had so long been unemployedthat it was no longer a mooted question.The remarks of Dr. Wyman were hearilyapplauded.

His Honor Mayor Merrill opposed theresolution, and defended the action of theschool committee, maintaining that someclasses of girls needed corporeal pun-ishment, and arguing that it would becruel and unjust to the community toadopt the resolution. He remarked thatthere never was a matter so grossly exaggerated and misrepresented as thewhipping case in the Allston school hadbeen. It was generally believed thatthe girl was whipped for whispering.The fact was, she was whipped for per-sistent, general insubordination. Thewhipping might have been injudicious,and he believed it was ; but it would notdo to discharge every city officer for thecommission of one injudicious act.Mayor Merrill maintained that corporealpunishment could not be sately abolisheduntil all the pupils were subjected to aproper discipline at home; and when itwas prohibited for girls, it should beprohibited for boys. He thought it wouldbe a very great mistake to turn out theentire board of school committee.

Mr. , Charles .Foster, father. . of,, thewhipped girl, was the next speaker. Hecharged the school committee with a de-r- a

to sorer np th. action of the teach-ers of the Allston school by conductingthe investigation secretly.

Mr. John N. Barber opposed the reso-lution, and declared that the censure be-stowed upon the teachers and the SchoolBoard vas already producing insubordination in the schools.

Professor Agassiz now took the plat-form, amid great applause. He remark-ed that he came forward with great reluctance. For twenty years he had nottakeu part in a public meeting,jut whilematters so important were under discus-sion, he could not reconcile it to hid dutyas an American citizen to sit still. Hewould not attempt to argue this case, forhe could only repeat what Dr. Wj'manhad so beautifully uttered. For fortyyears ho bad been a teacher beginningwhen be was fourteen years old and hehad never vet laid his hand on a child.Applause He believed that when it

became necessary to inflict corporealpunishment, it was an evidence that theteacher had lost his self control. Hepaid a high compliment to the teachersof Cambridge, and remarked that manyof them had too large a number of pupilsunder their charge, and the number ofteachers should, therefore, be increased.He knew hotv much the public schoolshad done for the freedom of the Repub-lic; but they were susceptible of im-

provement, and be knew of no betterplace to begin that improvement than inCambridge. The number of students inthe public schools should be so increasedas to fit the scholars for entrance intothe universities. Thus might Cambridgebe made the intellectual head of the com-munity.

Professor Washburn e said he wouldadd a word or two to what had been soeloquently said by the gentleman whoopened the discussion. He would havein the schools the authority of the goodman over the child not maintained bythe cudgel or by paralyzing terror, butby affection, and by inspiring pupils withconfidence in their teachers. Disciplineshould be regarded as a means, not as anend, and trifling violations of schoolrules, originating in the natural activityand exbuberant spirits of youth, shouldnot bo visited with severe punishment.There was no necessity of whipping girlsto secure order in school. Where theteacher excites a proper interest in theminds of his pupils for their studies,)hera was no need of chastisement.Kindness and affection in the teacherwould be reciprocated by the pupils.If in any school there was a girl whomkindness would not reform, it was theduty af the committee to remove herfrom the school.

Continuing his remarks. ProfessorWashburne declared his conviction thatthe application of corporeal punishmentwas prolific ef evil. It could not be nsedon young children without blnnting theirsensibilities, and lessening their confi-dence in their teachers, and every oneelse ; and no girl of ten years old, orupward, could be whipped without hard-ening or breaking her heart. JoshuaCotUn of Newburyport, immortalized byWhittier. and a school teacher for fortyyears, was rough in exterior and coursein manner, but he had a heart as solt aaa girl's, and a clear head. The speakerremembered him at a teachers' meetinc,where the subject of corporeal punish-ment was under discussion. Many ofthe teachers had advocated a frequentexercise of it. Mr. Coffin rose, and inabout ten minutes ended the debate, andsettled the question. 'If, said he, 'Iwanted to make a boy a rascal, I wouldtreat him as if be was one. If I wanted

Public affairs aregoverned by the laws of the land, privatelife by our individual likes and dislikes.AH white men who are voters are not so-cial equals. . The gentleman of wealth,accomplishments and refined taste, doesnot admit the stable boy to terms of social intimacy. It may be a moral wrongthat he docs not, bnt it is certainly not apolitical one.

Any gentleman, if befeels disposed to invite the dirtiest negroon the wharves to his table, and regalebim with the choicest riands and therichest wines, may do it to his heart'scontent No law can be made to preventit, because social, privileges are not asubject of legal enactment. Wo cannotlegislate the poor whites into equalitywith their opulent neighbors. All theSanhedrin could not have legislatedDives and Lazarus to the social plane.Such being the case, we are at a loss toconceive bow" men, professing honesty,can stand before the community andpretend that social and political equalitymean the same thing. They know better.It is a political falsehood, in which thereis no shadow of truth, and those whouse it most know it. - -

A Man Without an Enemy.Heaven help the' man' who imagines

he can dodge "enemies" by trying" toplease everybody 1 If such an individualever succeeded, we shonld be glad toknow it. Not that we believe in a man'sgoing through the world to try to findbeams to knock his bead against; dis-

puting every man'd opinion, fighting andelbowing, and crowding all who differwith him. That again is another ex-treme. Other people have a right totheir opinions so bave yoa--, don't fallinto t!ie error of supposing they will retspectyoa more for turning your: coatevery day to match the color of theirs.Wear your own colors, spite of the windaad weather, storms and sunshine. ; ' Itcosts the vacillating aad irresolute tentimes the trouble to wind, and twist,that it does honest,wnanly independenceto stand its ground. Take what timeyou please to make up your mind : buthaving made it an stick to it !
