Wifcwmwz Educating the Heart- The following remarks from a late num ber of the Quarterly Review, with refer ence to educating the heart before the head is too full, commend themselves to all who have the management of children : It is the vice of the age to substitute learning for wisdom—to educate the heart. The reason is cultivated at an age when nature does not furnish the elements ne cessary to a successful cultivation of it; and the child is solicited to reflection when he is only sensible of sensation and emo tion. Iu infancy the attention and the memory arc only excited strougly by things which impress the senses and move the heart, and a father will instill more solid and available instruction in an hour spent in the fields, where wisdom and goodness are exemplified, seen and felt, than in a month spent in the study, where they are expounded in stereotype aphorisms. No physician doubts that precocious children in fifty cases to one are much worse for the discipline they have under gone. The mind seems to have been strain ed, and the foundations for insanity are laid. When the studies of maturer years are stuffed into the child's head, people do not reflect on the anatomical fact that the brain of an infant is not the brain of a man. The first eight or ten years of life should be devoted mainly to the education of the heart—to the formation of princi ples rather than to the acquirement of what is usually called knowledge. Nature herself points out such a course ; for the emotions are then the liveliest and most easily moulded, being as yet unalloy ed by passion, it is from this source the mass of men are hereafter to draw their sum of happiness or misery. The actions of the immense majority are under all cir cumstances, determined much more by feeling than reflection; in truth, presents an infinity of occasions where it is essen tial to happiness that we should think pro foundly. T~e Public Libraries. Free public libraries have been establish ed in Boston. New Bedford, Farmingham, aud many other places. The annual re- j port of the New Bedford institution, which is the eighth since its commencement, in forms us that it contains 1d,500 volumes, ; and the issues to the people during the year have been 25,224, the number of per sons using the library being 3415. This library was established by an ordinance of the City Councils pursuant to the State law, which, as originally passed, provided that the local authorities of any place resolving to have a free public library should appro priate annually a sum of money equal to twenty five cents for every rateable poll, for its maintenance and support. .So well has this plan worked that the Legislature has since given permission toaii) town desiring it to make the annual appropriation of fifty cents per poll, instead of twenty-five, and New Bedford has availed itself of this pri vilege. Here is an arrangement which places in the reach of every town in Massachusetts the opportunity of maintaining a good sup ply of excellent reading, for the benefit of all classes, and not dependent upon volun tary contributions for support. Not only has it been adopted in most of the cities of the old Bay State, and rendered as much as the common school a part of the gener al system for the diffusion of education and intelligence, but in the rural hamlets it has been eagerly taken up as the very thing needed by the people —in fact, as indispen sable as a newspaper or a school-house, it renders every town in Massachusetts at tractive to the farming population for other purposes than mere buying or selling of produce or merchandise. It makes them centres of learning, sources of information, fountains of inexhaustible literary delight. In New York State there is also a.system i of school district libraries supported by the public funds regularly appropriated, partly by the local authorities, and partly by the State government, under a law passed for the purpose, and furnishing libraries acces sible gratis to the public. Now, what we wish to call attention to is the advisability of passing an act similar to that of Massa chusetts, by which the people of any town in Pennsylvania, and other States of this I Union, should, after a formal vote to that effect, be able to establish a free public li- THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1860. brary, supported by regular municipal ap propriations. Our .State stands very much in need of' the multiplication of such influ ences to keep its population at home, to stimulate its progress and raise the masses in the scale of intelligence. There ought to bo a library in every town in the State for the use of the people; and if this law were enacted, many would speedily avail themselves of it. Should none act under it, of course it would be nothing more than the present condition of tilings. •Went into a Desert Place.' We are told that when the Apostles re turned from their first ministerial work, our Lord 4 took them and went aside pri vately into a desert place.' We cannot doubt that this was done with a deep mean ing. It was meant to teach the great les son, that those who do public work for the souls of of others, must be careful to make time for being alone with God. The lesson is one which many Chris tians would do well to remember. Oc casional retirement, self-inquiry, medita tion and secret communion with God, are absolutely essential to spiritual health. The man who neglects them is in great dan ger of a fall. To be always preaching, teaching, speaking, writing, and working public works, is unquestionably a sign ot zeal. Rut it is not always a sign of zeal according to knowledge. It often leads to untoward consequences. We must make time occasionally lor sitting down and calm ly looking within, and examining how mat ters stand between our own selves and Christ. The omission of the practice is the true account of many a backsliding which shocks the church, and gives occas ion to the world to blaspheme. Many could say with sorrow, in the words of Can ticle-1, 'They made me a keeper of the vine yards, Lul my own vineyard have I not kept." (Cant. i. 0). — J. C. liyle. 'OUR LITTLE DECEITS/ TSY ONE OF THE DECEIVERS. People are much given to expending a deal ot indignation upon that which they designate as ' the deceit of society.' Yet those who pretend to such ' horror of de ceit,' are they guiltless; have they no sins of commission in the little and large social falsehood to which society is not to be the father-confessor ? We may as well acknowledge the truth. We may as well open our heart's secrets to the father-confessor, and be contrite for once in our lives. We are all a compound of dust, deceit and greed ; that is to say, all of us who claim a special position or social distinction. ' Ah, ha ! Jones, I am really glad to see you!' exclaimed Smith. Smith never told a more egregrious falsehood in his life.— Smith, the whole entire period since he last met Jones, has been trying to dodge him, or hasn't thought of him in any wise, and Jones knows this; and yet he accepts the deliberate lie as a pleasant and custom ary portion of our sociai etiquette. Jones replied: 'My dear Smith—my old boy, do you know I was thinking of you, this morning ? I said to my wife this morning at breakfast, ' I wonder what has become of Smith, my old friend ?' and I had some thoughts of calling up at your house.— How have you been V Smith is nearly certain that this speech is a return lie. Jones uttered it to him as he had uttered it to a dozen other acquain tances that day. And after a social drink together, the precious pair separate only to renew the utterance of the same little social deceits whenever they chance to meet. You, re der, who just now, perhaps, was expressing such highly refreshing bits of; moral anathemas in reference to backbiting, t deceit, and lying; were you not just now j in conversation with Brown ? Were you not laughing at his jokes, gravely nodding \ assent to his judgment, taking him by the hand and in every way using your utmost i endeavor to convince those around you j that of all men in the world, Brown is J foremost in your esteem? Yet when! Brown leaves —when, after he has resisted your earnest and importunate, and half-a- I dozen times repeated remonstrations ! against his departure, and has gone beyond hearing, do you not in the presence of. your friends (you think them friends, at least,) pronounce Brown an infernal, artful, irredeemable scoundrel —a Jeremy Ifidler, a rogue, and everything that is either mean or contcinptibte ? Certainly you do; and it is no more than fair that you should, inasmuch that you can safely swear that Brown, in a circle of his supposed friends, is annointing your fair fame with a simi lar quality of the concentrated essence of defamation. You and Brown knew that you were uttering a few of those ' little de ceits,' which are so absolutely necessary to secure the stability of the society in which you both live and move; separated, you are like wild cats; drawn together by accident, you are doves in disposition. All the amenities (deceits) of society are extended from one to the other; Iscariots and Ar nolds embrace, and your falsehoods are ac cepted as the most genial truths. We hate with a hate that is unconquera- hie the man we have just dined with, yet having a due regard for the courtesies of life, (we call our fear of what injuries he may do us and our dread of an expose of our own weakness —courtesies in this in stance,) we cannot find words to express our admiration of his character. We leave his presence thoroughly convinced that he is a consummate villain, and we pronounce him so to our first acquaintance wc encounter. Father Confessor Society, aro we not ac knowledging the truth ? The ladies, too, whose ruby lips arc nev er parted save to utter such sweet pleasan tries, such kindly words of comfort —ah ! thev are not guilty of these sins of commis sion. Oh, certainly not 1 What an unseem ly churl is he who dare malign their char acter for truth and veracity I Yet, oh, Father Confessor, let us have a revelation of their cloistered penitence! of the con fessions they, like all of us, must make in the cloisters of the mind, with unforgiving conscience in waiting with the dreadful scourge of remorse. flow amiable arc the fair and fashiona ble daughters of Eve to each other in pub lic ; yet, how merciless in private ! ' What a love of a woman !' says Mrs. Boles to Mrs. Coles in reference to Mrs. Doles, 'so amiable in disposition ; really she is worthy of any one's esteem and confidence.' Whereupon, Mrs. Boles in the next breatli tells Mrs. Foles, who dosn't like Mrs. Doles, ' "What an odious, abominable ereaturo that Mrs. Doles is. Ido detest her hypocritical pretences. 1 can scarcely endure her presence. Ugh 1 I don't see how the brazen thing can dare to face uie ' At this instant Mrs. Doles appears, coming up smilingly to Mrs. Boles. The twain embrace, and Mrs. Boles exclaims, with all the apparent sincerity of' an earthly saint, 'Oh! my dear Mrs. Doles! I was just this instant speaking of you to Mrs. Foles. I was saying how lonesome we should be without you here. 1 have almost made up my mind to scold you for being so late.— Take off your furs ; here, Mary, take Mrs. Doles' furs, rubbers, and bonnet. No; no, L insist; you must stay for tea.' Ten minutes later while Mrs. Holes is absent from the parlor, Mrs. Doles whis pers to Mrs. Coles, ' What a smooth-faced simpleton Mrs. Boles is. She is so vulgar in Iter ways, and she does keep such mixed company. Ileally, if it hadn't been that I wanted to see you, I should not have called. Oh, here she is.' Such conversations are considered as social amenities. They are not deceits.— Oh, no ! Not the vilest and at the same time the most absurd of sins. Ladies, we are told, are like Metamora, and 'can not lie.' They are only deceitful in a social point of view, not personally. They cannot be held accountable, personally, for the com missions of such sins as form the founda tion of fashionable society, and its only maintenance—sociality only. Now that the writer of this 'odious ar ticle' has ventilated a sufficiency of exam- 1 pies of the little deceits of society, shall we abolish them ? Shall we have no more deceits, no more hypocrisy, no more sham? Emphatically, yes ; we must have them.— Were wc all to speak to each other as we think, at all times and in all places, every man and woman of us would be deadly hostile to every one else. There would he no friendships, no gossip, nothing but dire and continuous sniveling, bickering and misery. Soirees, Re unions, tete a totes, Christmas rejoicings, New Year's festivi ties, none ol them would we have. We would stare at c-acli other, light like cats and dogs; groan and growl, and mayhap the most excitable would go mad with an ger. Not one of us that would, were the veil of other people's opinion lifted so that each of us would " see oursel as ithers see us," or could think himself or herself other than the most abject, worthless being on earth except —those he or she hated. Queer hut substantial necessities, these little deceits which we daily practice, to which those oftenest resort who are the loudest mouthed in condemning the great bugbear, " The Hypocrisy of Society." A Curious Marriage. A novel case of habeas corpus, involv ing curious and important questions of law, was recently tried before Judge S. M. Moore of the Circuit Court, Covington, Ky. A resident of that city, named Wil- j liam Boss, a short time since, became en amored with his stepdaughter, Margaret Coleman, who reciprocated his affections, and a marriage engagement was the con- j sequence. But the affianced pair found that j their relationship was among the degrees prohibited by the laws of Kentucky. But the river was easily passed, and once in Ohio the restraints of the law would be re moved—marriage between blood relatives alone being prohibited in that State. They accordingly visited Cincinnati, were united in matrimony, and returned home rejoicing. The friends of the parties, however, were dissatisfied with the nuptials, and determin ed to separate them. The girl being a few months under 21 years of age—the period of female majority in Kentucky—aud till the time of her marriage, having been uu der the guardianship of a man named Hall, but who had resigned as soon as that event had taken place, a guardian named Elisha Coleman, a relation of the lady's was ap- pointed for the occasion, and a writ of ha beas corpus was sued on Ross, commanding him to produce his wife before Judge Moore, and show by what authority she was de tained by him. The proper evidences of the marriage were produced, and the fact that she was no more than eighteen years of age, which concluded the period of her infancy at the place where the marriage was solemnized, were produced. The at torneys for the guardian claimed that as the parties were residents of Kentucky, a marriage elsewhere, to evade the laws of that State, was null and void. The Judge sustained this position, nullified the marriage, and gave (he lady intu cus tody of Mr. Coleman. The President's Protest. The reply of the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives to the I'res dent's Protest against the appointment of the Covode investigating Committee, is overwhelming in argument and conclusive by the precedents established. After le capitulating the principal points ol' objec tion raised by the President, the Commit- tee say: ' In consideration of the high source front which the manifesto proceeds, the Coin mittee prefer to confine themselves to •an examination of the postulates of tfie paper, however obnoxious to criticism its general tone may be on the score of taste and temper. But they cannot restrain an ex pros sion of their deep regret that an officer who prides himself upon the fact that the 'people have thought proper to invest him with the most honorable, responsible, and dignified of fice in the world," and who declares he feels ' proudly conscious there is no public act of his (my) life whi'h will not bear the strictest scrutiny,' and that he defies'all investigation,' should forget, amid the surroundings of place and power, and flattery, that he is but the servant of that same people, and that he should shirnk back in anger and terror from a sim pie inquiry into bis stewardship. This is the first time under the republic a Chief Execu tive has left a recorded admission that he has been made oblivious of the orign and ephem eral character of his position by the reveries of its enjoyment. To distinguish such con duct by approbation would be to sanction kingly prerogative, and to proclaim that right came 'by the grace of God,' and not from the confidence of men. The nation always charitable in the interpretation of acts and motives, is not prepared to overlook such a de linquency.' Proceeding to argue the power of the House to institute any investigation into the conduct of the President, the Report holds this language: The President, it will be observed through out his message, assumes that tbe resolution to which he makes reference charges him with the comtnissit n of high crimes and misde meaner. This was necessary to the argument ! he has advanced. It is for such charges on j ly the House has the power of impeachment, i The gravemen of his complaint is, that the j accusations are of such a nature as, if true, j would subject him to an impeachment, and I that the House has proceeded to pass upon | them, or is moving to pass upon them, through , a form of proceeding not authorized by the j Constitution. Herein lies the fallacy, and i that which, unexposed, might operate as the j deception of the plea. If this wore in truth a charge against the President, ealiing for the form of trial prescribed by the Constitution, then the determinations of ibis house might possibly be open to animadvesion. Unfortu nately for the attempted defence of that uffi cer, there is no charge made of any grade of : offence calling for trial of any kind. It is a mere inquiry that is proposed. The language j of the resolution may be cited as the best ; proof. The committee raised is 'fur the pur pose of investigating whether the President of the United States or any other officer of I the Government has, by money, patronage, or j any other improper means, sought to influ- j ence the action of Congress, or any Commit- ] tee thereof,' ifcc.; also, 'to inquire into and in vestigate whether any officer and officers of the Government have, by combination or oth erwise, prevented and defeated, or attempted to prevent and defeat, the execution of any law or laws," <kc.; and'whether the President has failed or refused to compel the execution of auy laws,' &c. If no criminality is alleged, but, on the contrary, an investigation or inquiry alone is proposed, the question may be asked, with ruling force and emphasis, what has the house | to do with the law of impeachment? The resolutions do not contemplate a judgement, i and therefore there can be no formal trial un der them. But, admit charges proper for im peachment were made, would the House be bound to submit the matter to any Committee, and allow the accused a cross-examination, as the President seems to suppose ? By no means ! The Constitution prescribes no rules for the House, but it is left perfectly free to adopt its own. It may refer the charges to a standing committee, or a select committee, or it may proceed without the intervention of ei ther. It may allow cross-examination, or de ny it, as to its members may seem most proper at tbe time. The precedent set in the case of Judge Peck, upon which great stress is laid, cannot take away the full dis cretion allowed by the Constitution, nor make the law either shorter or narrower than it is written. In such a case each House of Rep resentatives will determine for itself its mode of procedure, without suggestions from a 'co-ordinate,' and rely upon the highest law as its charter. There is no judge presiding over the representatives of the sovereign peo ple of the sovereign States to teach and incul cate legal proprieties. When they shall per mit even the President to do so, then there will be a law superior to the Constitution, and a discretion locked iu chains. Of the discretionary right to engage in such an investigation, the Committee say: The constitutionality, the legality, and the New Series—Vol. XIV, No. 24- autln fazed expediency of the inquiry propo sed by the resolutions being, as is believed, amply vindicated, no question remains in re spect" to it, except such as might address it self to th.e discretion of the llouse. if, b| the proceedings to remedy a mischief, agiCS' cr mischief would be likely to follow, a well regulated prudence would indicate its abandonment. The President in his protest suggests such a danger, and rests his resis tance upon it. It is thus expressed: ' Hie whole proceeding against him justifie ; the tears of those wise and great men who, before the Constitution was adopted by the States, ap prehended that the tendency of the Govern ment was to the aggrandizement of the leg islative at the expense of the executive and judicial departments.' If, indeed, fears of legislative aggrandizement should ever havo existed, the cause of those fears is left in great obscurity. The history of the Consti tution, through all the stages of its iurmation, its adoption hy th.e several States, and the conspicuous differences between the great po litical parties at the time, would seem to deny the existence of any such apprehension, lhe strong sentiment of the democratic party, through its whole struggle with the Federal ists, until the election of .Jefferson, was di rectly the reverse of the President's state motif. In the convention that formed the C.iiistitot tin, jealousy of the F.xecutive branch of the proposed government was r.s groat, even, as the kindred jealousy against the probable encroachments of the Federal Gov ernment op n the independence and sover eignty of the separate States. In that body it vv.v even proposed that the Executive should be removable by the Legislature, without im peachment or conviction of high crimes and misdemeanors. As a father manifestation of that feeling, it was prop that the Executive should bo plural. Madison and Randolph urgently sup ported it as a measure of protection against the aggressions of the Chief Magistrate upon the rights of the co-ordinate branches of the Government. Mr. Randolph, (Governor of Virginia, and Attorney General under Wash ington,) speaking upon the subject, said; 'ih© situation of this country is peculiar; the peo ple are taught aversion to monarchy ; all the constitutions are opposed to it; 1\ hv cannot three execute?' The ineligibility of the Ex ecutive after one term was also insisted upon, as a necessity to prevent usurpation. Jeffer son declared his wish to be that the Presi dent should le elected for seven years, and be ineligible afterwards. Mr. Randolph also made use of this remarkable expression : ' The Executives may appoint men devoted to them, and even bribe the Legistaure.' Ham ilton, after the adoption of the article of the Constitution relating to the Executive, ad dressing Governor Lewis, used a still more striking expression : ' You nor I, my friend, may not live to see the day, but most assu redly it will come, when every vital interest of the State will be merged in the all absorb ing quei-tion of who will be the next Presi dent.' So numerous are the proofs that the 'wise and great men' of our earlier history en tertained forebodings of the very opposite character to those which the President as cribes to them, that it is difficult to resist a disposition to attribute insincerity to the President to accomplish the pur poses of his protest. The suspicion on the part of the people has become so great that they arc continualh' reducing Executive pow er. In many of the States the Governor has become but a mere chief of police. This is not, however, to be attributed to legislative or judicial agency, but to the fact that chief ex ecutives so use their as to produce a tendency to a centralization of power dan gerous to the liberties of tbe people. The world is but a great battle field for power ; and if universal history teaches any lesson, it is this; 'that power is always stealing from the many to the few,' that executive heads of nations absorb popular rights; and that all revolutions are on the part of the people, not to establish thrones, but to regain that which has been wrestrd from them by the throne. The citizen of the United States has reason to fear that which every other nation has suf fered. Curiosities. —A plate of butter fron the cream of a 'joke.'
