ifr. So-if Editor:
I have a couple of neighbors who mipht be
called "representative men," only that one of
them Is a woman: nevertheless they are repre
sentatives of a class who, paying no attention
to tho graduates ot the Medical Colleges, male
or female, doctor themselves, making up for the
quality of the nursing by Its quantity. They de
mote thoir whole minds as they only have one
mind in common, to nursing, and the object of
their attention is themselves.
Mrs. Itakcstraw's inaldcu name was Brown;
tut there Is nothing remarkable in that. She
was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Brown. Her
lather died when she was, ns tho play books ex
press it, "yet an infant;" and so tho maternal
Brown, when her daughter married, made the
house of her son-in-law her home from that
time henceforth, and set up her staff of rest with
Mr. and Mrs. Rakcstraw.
Mr. and Mrs. Rakcstraw nre a couple who
nurse themselves; and the venerable Mrs. Brown
ie an aider and abetter in the same.
Mr. Rakcstraw is a rather lean and long
necked gentleman, middle-aged and middle
sized, and usually troubled with a cold In the
head. Mrs. Rakestraw is a delicate-looking
lady, with very light hair, and is exceedingly
subject to the same unpleasant disorder. The
cncrablo Mrs. Brown, who is strictly entitled to
the appellation, her daughter not being very
young (otherwise than by courtesy) at the
time of her marriage, which was some years ago,
Is a mysterious old lady who lurks behind a pair
of spoctaclcs and is afllictcd with a chronic dis
ease, respecting which she has taken a vast deal
of medical advice, and referred to a vast number
of medical books, without meeting any defini
tion of symptoms that at all suit her. or enables
aer to say "That's my complaint !" Indeed, the
absence of authentic information upon the sub
ject of this complaint would seem to be Mrs.
Brown's greatest ill, as in all other respects she
Ss an uncommonly hale and hearty woman.
Both . Mr. and Mrs. Rakestraw wear an ex
traordinary quantity of flannel, and have a habit
of putting their feet in hot water to an un
natural extent. They likewise indulge in chamo
mile tea and such like compounds, and rub
themselves en the slightest provocation with
compound spirits and other lotions applicable to
mumps, sore throat, rhoumatlsm, or lumbago.
Mr. Rakcfttraw's leaving home to go to busi
ness on a damp or wet morning is
a very elaborate affair. He puts on very long
stockings over his socks, and india-rubber shoes
over his boots, and wears under his waistcoat
a. cuirass of rabblt-ekin. Besides these precau
tions ho winds a thick shawl round his throat,
and blocks up his mouth with a large silk hand
kerchief. Thus accoutcrcd, and furnished besides
with a great coat and umbrella, he braves tho
dancers of the streets, travelling in severe
weather at a gentle trot, tho better to preserve
tho circulation, and bringing his mouth
to tha surfaco to take breath
lut very seldom, and with tho utmost
caution. His oflico door opened, ho shoots past
his clerks at the same pace, and, diving into his
own private room, closes the door, examines the
window fastenings, and gradually unrobes ulm
sell, hanging his pocket handkerchief on a chair
before tho stove to air, and determining t i write
to the newspapers about tho fogs on tke Schuyl
kill at this season of the year, which he says
"has really got to that pitch that it Is quite un
bearable."
In this last opinion Mrs. Rakcstraw and her
respected mother fully concur; lor tnougu not
DresenL their thoughts and tongues arc occu.
tiled with the same subject, living in sight of tho
river, which U their constant theme all day. If
anybody happens to call, Mrs. Rakestraw opines
" that they must assuredly bo mad, and her first
salutation is, "What, w hat in tho name of good
ness can bring you out in such weather? You
kuQw you must! catch your death." This assur
ance is corroborated by Mrs. Brown, who adds,
la further confirmation, a ukuial h'gvuU con-
cerning an individual' of ber acquaintance
who, making a call under precisely
parallel circumstances, and being then
in tho best health and spirits, expired in forty
eight hours Afterwards. Tho visitor, rendered
not altogether comfortable, perhaps, by this and
other precedents, inquires very affectionately
after Mr. Rakestraw, but by no doing brings
about no change of subject; for Mr. R.'s name is
inseparably connected, with his complaints, and
his complaints are inseparably connected with
Mrs. Kakcstraw's; and when these are done
with, Mrs. Brown, who Ivw been biding her time,
outs in with the chronic disorder a subject upon
which tho amiable old lady never leaves off
speaking until she is left alone, and very often
not then.
But Mr. Rakcstraw comes homo to dinner.
He is reserved by Mrs. Rakestraw and Mrs.
Brown, who. on his remarking
P) -
C'WMkMialnsm
that he thinks his feet are damp, turn pale as
ashes, and drag him up mains, imploring him to
have them rubbed directly with a dry co:ro
towel. Rubbed they are, one by Mrs. Rakc
straw, ono by Mrs. Brown, until the friction
causes Mr. Rakcstraw to make horrible face,
and looks as if he had been smelling very pow
erfully of onions; when they desist, and the pa
tient, provided for his better security with thick
worsted stockings and list slippers, is borne
down stairs to dinner. Now, tho dinner is a
good one, the appetite of tho diners being not
at all delicate. Both Mr. and Mrs. R. eat a re
markably good dinner, and even tho afllictcd
Mrs. Brown wields her knife and fork with
much of the spirit and tho elasticity
of youth. But Mr. Rakestraw,
in his desire to gratify his appetite,
is not unmindful of his health, for he has a bot
tle of carbonate of soda, with which to qualify
hh porter. Either from eating and drinking so
much, or from being the victim of this constitu
tional infirmity, he f:ills asleep, and has scarcely
closed his eyes when Mrs. Rakestraw and Mrs.
Brown close their eyes likewise. It is on
awakening at tea-time that thoir most alarming
symptoms prevail, for then Mr. R. feels as if his
temples were tightly bound .around with tho
chain of the street door, and Mrs. R. as if she
had made a hearty dinner of a hundred half
pound weights, nnd Mrs. Brown as if cold water
were running down her back, and oyster-knives
were trying to open hor between the ribs.
Symptoms like thyse are enough to make peo
ple peevish, and no wonder they do little more
than doze and complain.
Supper coming after dinner, it is again done
honor to by Mr. and Mrs. IUkeistraw, still aided
and abetted by Mrs. Brown. After supper, it is
ten to one but the last named old lady becomes
worse, and is led oil to bed w ith her chronic
complaint in full vigor, Mr. and Mrs. Rakc
straw. having administered to her a warm cor
dial, then repair to their own room, where Mr.
R., with his legs and feet in hot water, superin
tends the mulling of some wine which be is to
drink at the very moment he plunges into bed;
while Mrs. R., in garments whoso nature is un
known to all but married men, takes four small
pills, with a spasmodic look between each, and
finally comes to something hot and fragrant out
of another little sauce-pan, which serves for the
composing draught for tho night, when, smack
ing her lips and groaning, sho crawls into bed.
Thus literally, as well as figuratively, they all
their lifetime are in hot water.
"Yours healthfully,
Doc.
Augustan Agea.
1'rmn the Saturday JleouM.
Under what kind of political circumstances
does genius most flourish? This is a very
old question, ana n is a question wmon win
never allow of any one trenchant answer.
There are bo many different kinds and de
grees of genius, there are ho many uinerent
ways of thinking as to what genius is, that no
one general rule con be laid down about it. A
great poet and a great discoverer in physical
(science are alike men of genius, bnt their
genius is so unlike in kind that we cannot
Hafely infer that the state of things which is
the most likely to produce the one is also the
most likely to produce the other. Again,
there are many different kinds of poetry, each
alike allowing the display of genius, but of
which one seems most likely to tiounsn in one
state of society and another in another. And
then how do we estimate genius ' By positive
or bv relative results 't Take, for instance,
the ease of inventions. Which really shows
the greater genius, the man who brings a
thing to the liignest possiuie poini oi periec
tion. or tho man who. Ions before, had been
strictly the inventor of the first rude form of
the thing r The first rude kind of boat, for
example, seems ludicrously clumsy beside
the latest improvements in navigation. Yet
one may be tempted to say that no author of
any later improvement in navigation snowed
so much of daring nnd original gonitis as tho
man who lirst sot any kind of boat afloat ou
the water. The one was strictly an inventor;
the other simply worked on the inventions
of anothor. Hut, again, two answer might
be made to thin kind of argument. It might
be said, with some plausibility, that tho
chances are that the inherent genius of the
two men was kindred and equal, and thp.i
each, in the circumstances of tha other, would
have done what tho other aid. ur again,
it may be said that most likely there
. never was any invention in the strictest seuso
of all; that the earliest stages of any art are
just as much matters of gradual development
as the latest, and that in tho earliest stages
there is much more room for accident than in
the latest. ' Still, with all this, it is hard not
to allow a good deal of inventive genius to
: the first beginners of the very simplest thing.
I If Arco was the first ship, great honor is due
10 )hy8 anu Uis oruiuer Arjjuuuuw. auu ui
any rut the lirst man who ever got on the
back of horse must have been a bold man
and a decided genius in his own line. Kud

'
tending to show that no general rule can be
given on tho subject, tlertain forms of
genius, cpnnin iomis at any raie 01 some
thing lower than genius of intellectual acti
vity are imlonlU'iily most likely to anpoar
under certain forms of jio'.itiVal or social life.
J hi I. genius, ami mure intellectual activity
also, take Mich endless forms that St is hope
less to lny down any general rule as to this or
that lonu i government or state of society
bing inofct favorable to one or the other in
the abstract.
"NVe have been 1m1 into this train of thought,
as into so many other trains of thought, by
an article in the Tiuuit. The writer, whose
article appeared in the course of last week, is
evidently far from being so rash and ignorant
as many of his brethren. He is trying to ac
count for the real or allegod docny of intellec
tual life in France under the present Govern
ment ot that country. And, wnetner we ac
cept all his facts and conclusions or not, what
be says on that head, as well as on the present
state of things in England, Spain, and Italy,
is worthy thinking over and weighing, lie
has evidently looked with enre and intelli
gence at the present condition of all those
counties with regard to their current litera
ture. It is only when he tlies to deal with
past times, and to draw general principles
from what he fancies to be the facts of his
tory, that be gets beyond his depth. We will
give the passago at length:
"(lentiis works tn cycles; It has Its rifh antt poor
crops. Its pri.c iinil blank seasons, Its so-called
floldon Arcs, Aiifjustun or Meilloetin, Influenced,
Indeed, by political causes, hs crops liy atmospheric
accidents, but oiH-.ylnp; also oilier more general, less
obvious or superficial rules, acting, not only Inde
pendently of all poltiii'ul Influence, but sometimes
even In antagonism to It. Tlie stae In tlic life of a
nation in wiiicn mental energy Is apt to bs at Its
Krentct height is that In which, after a spell of great
political convulsions, a period or comparative easo
and repose succeeds. Thus the golden age of Hnraun
literature dates from the closing of the Temple of
Janus by the First Kiuperor: that of modern Italy
from tho termination of mediicval feuds ushering in
domestic tyranny and foreign domluation; that of
Kngland from the subsiding of religious dissensions
under the sceptre of Kli.abeth. Uolden ages of this
description are always of short duration, and are
lollowed by eras of silver, of Iron, of bron.e, and
even of lead. A cluster of a score or so of stars of
the lirst magnitude blaze out In the (imminent, but
these give way before minor gaiRxies, and presently
to mere nebulic and utter obscurity."
The context seems to show that by "genius
in this passage we are to understand, if not
exclusively literary genius, yet genius taking
tne direction ot some lorm ol literature,
science, or art. For it must be evident to
every one that some shapes of "mental en
ergy ' never have so much scope as in th.e
actual "spell of great political convulsions."
The genius of the real statesman or the real
general is as much a display of "mental en
ergy" as the genius of the poet or the painter.
And it is clearly while the great political con
vulsions are going on that the real statesman
and the real general find thoir noblest oppor
tunities. And some of the works of times of
this kind cannot be distinguished by any hard
line from strict works of literature. What
does the writer say to oratory if Whether the
speeches of any given public speaker
become or do not become part
of the literature of his country
depends largely upon aocident or upon the
custom of his age and country. The speeches
of Demosthenes form part of the literature
of Greece; the speeches of Pericles do not.
There is no reason to be given for this differ
ence except that in the days of Pericles it
had not become the custom for orators to
write down nnd preserve their speeches, while
in the days of Iemosthenes it had. It may
be answered that one or two speeches of
Pericles are preserved by Thucydides, and
doubtless, as regards the general sentiments
of rericles, they are preserved. 15ut no one
supposes that the report of Thucydides gives
ns any idea of the Ktylo of .Pericles; what he
gives us is the sentiments of Pericles trans
lated into his own stylo. As a literary
composition, then, the funeral oration of
Toricles is as much lost to us as the
countless other speeches of Pericles
which Thucydides did not report at all. But
though the speeches of Demosthenes form,
while the speeches of Pericles do not form, a
part of the literature of Greoce, there is no
real difference between the two. There is
simply the accident that the one sot of
speeches were written down and that the
others were not. The two sets of composi
tions were essentially of the same kind.
Pericles and Demosthenes alike composed
real speeches for real delivery, and, as far as
we know, they composod nothing else. They
did not sit down, like Isocrates, and write
essays or pamphlets whith were meant not to
be spoken but to be read. As far then as
oratory is a form of "mental energy," we
always run the risk of giving one age an un
fair preference over another, simply because
the speeches of one age were written down
while the speeches of another age were not.
But we will go on to the general rules laid
down by the writer in the Times. Is his
general doctrine truo ? Do his instances bear
it out? The first sentence of our extract
sounds to us a little hazy; but the second
is clear enough. Mental energy, that is,
the particular kind of mental energy which
the writer has in his eye, is to be mainly
looked for in times when, "after a spell
of great political convulsions, a period of
comparative ease and reposo succeeds."
The instances of '"Golden Ages" which the
writer gives Augustan, Medicean, Eliza
bethanallow ns to guess what he means
by great political convulsions. He does
not mean a reigu of terror like certain
stages of the French Revolution; he means
times of great political change, times of
religions reform, times when men's
minds are naturally awukoned and put
on the stretch. Now a mere reigrf of terror
certainly does not lead to great displays of
mental energy. "Tho Republic had no need
of chemists; neither had it much need of
poets or historians. But surely times of great
political excitement, whore tho excitement
does not quite roach that height, are directly
favorable to mental energy. The crop may
be sometimes gathered in a later and quioter
time, but it is the days of political excitement
that stirred up the mental energy and sowed
tho seed which tho quioter days reap. The
writer in the Times gives us the usual con
ventional talk about the "Augustan age"- of
Rome. "The golden age of lioman litera
ture dates from tke closing of tho Temple"
he of course moans the Gate "of Jauus by
the First Emperor." Now is this proposition
true in any sense? We might of course
murmur something about tho . received
Roman literature not being Roman
at all, about tho Canimme weeping
over the grave of Nicvius. But take the
Roman literature as we have it. Whatever
may bo meant by a Golden Age of literature,
do the so-called Augustan writers really star,
pass the ante-Augustan writers? Without
going further back.we may fairly ask whothog
VirciL Horace. Livy, and the rest, great ge-
I niuses as they undoubtedly wore, were greater
i geniuses than the men of the Commonwealth,
Lucretius, Catullus, Cicero, hiUiust, Uicsar
himself ? For mere genius, as distinguished
from artificial finish, the earlier poets are at
least the equals of the later, and the later pe
riod con boast of one great prose writer only.
And in talking aboft the Augustan Age we are
bi t tu fcrtt tua tLe Uitu wh did it huuov
were men who were born, and many of
whom had begun to write, before the
Augustan Age bngan. To go no further
the writer in the Tim has quite forgotten
how large a portion of the writings of Horace
was written before the Gate of Janus was
fhut, while tho Civil War was still raging.
The Augustan Age itself, the mon born in
that age, produced very little indeed. The
only way in which the empire really en
couraged genius and mental energy of any
kind was by drawing forth indignant protests
Against itself, in the form of tho writings of
Lucan, Juvenal, and Tacitus. That is to say,
the first crop of Roman literature was due to
men who were formed in the days before the
empire, tho second crop was due to men
whom the empire schooled into opposition to
itself. For the mental energy which is called
forth by imperialist pureand simple, the
writer in the 'limes must no to Statins add
Martial. ,
As to the Medicean age in Italy, that may
mean either tho last half of the fifteenth oen
tury or the first half of the sixteenth, or both
together. It is by no means clear what exact
time the writer in the Time means. The
"Golden Age of modorn Italy," he tells us,
"dates from the termination of mediieval
feuds ushering in domestio tyranny and
foreign domination." It is by no means clear
whether it was tho medieval feuds themselves,
or the" termination of the mediicval feuds,
which ushered in domestic tyranny and
foreign domination. Tho Modicoan period
is generally hold at least to take in
the days of Lorenzo, and in the
days of Lorenzo, whatever we say about
uumuhuu tyranny, loreign domination can
hardly be said to have been yet ushered in.
And whicbevor period we take for the Golden
Age, whether the days of Lorenzo or the days
oi nis son, can we call the Medicean penoa
a time of reid mental energy? A time of
great mental activity it undoubtedly was, an
age of revived art, of revived scholarship, of
much curious study in many ways. But for
real mental energy we must surely go to an
earlier time. Surely the one name of Dante,
the true child and type of free Italy, out
weighs all the elegant scholars and makers of
pretty Latin verses who swarmed around Lo
renzo and Leo.
To turn to our own land, the description
which the writer gives of the time of Eliza
beth sounds rather odd. "Under hor sceptre"
we are told that religious dissensions subsided.
Surely we cannot say that religious dissen
sions subsided under Elizabeth, but rather
mat tney took new shapes and were more de
finitely formulized. Under Henry, Edward.
and Mary, there had been no small stock of
religious dissensions, but they were all dis
sensions within tho same body. Some thoucht
that change had gone too far, others that it
had not gone far enouch. jut there was no
sotting up of altar against altar. In Eliza
beth's time we get tho beginning of religious
dissensions of tne modern typo; we hnd tho
first separatists from the established relisrion.
the first Papists and the first Dissenters strictly
so called. And surely the reign of Elizabeth.
though not exactly a time of political convul
sion within the kingdom, was a time of in
tense political excitement, anything but a
time of ease and repose. And again, the dis
play of mental energy during the Elizabethan
age was of quite another sort from that of
either the Angufitan or the Medicean age. It
was essentially a display, not of mero scholar
ship and imitation, but of the boldest original
genius. '
It is somewhat strange that the writer
makes no reference whatever to the literature
of old Greece. Certainly there is no litera
ture whose history more thoroughly upsots
his theory. To whatever date we assign the
Homeric poems, we can hardly fancy that
they are the work of an age of special ease
and repose, and it is certain that the recorded
literature of Greece, from Arohilochus to De
mosthenes, was the work of very stirring
times indeed. Its greatest displays of mental
energy took place in the midst of the political
convulsions of the Persian, the Peloponne
sian, and the Macedonian wars. For the Au
gustan or Medicean age of Greek literature
we must look to the days of the Ptolemies,
when such Greek intellect as was left took
shelter in the ease and repose of the Court of
Alexandria. There we find plenty of learning,
plenty of science, plenty of imitative poetry;
but the nearest approach to original genius is
to be found in the pastorals of Theocritus.
And they can hardly be set against Homer,
Pindar, and the dramatio poets. The one
really great Greek writor of this age is surely
Polybius; and he passed the best of his days
as the citizen and statesman of a free com
monwealth. EDUOATIONAL.
