flBE 'DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH FHILADELPHIAt SATURDAY, JUNE 25. 1870. PLXAEU&E TAKING. Frim iht London Saturday Review. Perhaps the falsest of all the false apho risms that have obtained a considerable cur tent j in 'the world is .that which asserts that so man is a hypocrite in bis pleasures. Like other popular savings,' it is derived from a very superficial observation of certain obvious phenomena. - A man takes to drinking in npite of the clearest warnings of his probable fate; he goes on drinking till he is utterly unable to break the bondage which he has himself ere ated; at -length he drinks himself into his grave, though he has clearly foreseen his pro bable fate, and is -willing to admit that hia conduct is utterly absurd, as well as exceed ingly wicked. -We say that he cannot be a hypocrite, because his only apparent motive is the satisfaction of an overpowering appetite, and he cannot be supposed to have encountered such- evils knowingly to please any one but himself. When a man yields tp each an irresistible impulse, we must cer tainly admit that there i something genuine at the bottom of it. Nobody, it may be granted, will make such sacrifices without some very strong motive, which, in the case suggested, is probably a real craving for some kind of stimulant. Even in such a case, however, there is a certain mixture of reality and sham: a man drinks, or begins to drink, partly because it ia the fashion of bis friends, and he wishes to attain distinction in the only rath which is open to him. It is diffioult, and for many people impossible, to rise above their sei ghbors by intellectual or moral qualities, but almost - anybody who ' chooses to do it may gain a certain kind of glory by unusual readi ness to destroy the coats of his stomach. It frequently happens that a drunkard is simply a man of easily satisfied ambition, who takes the readiest path to eminence, and swills strong spirits because he cannot win glory by more legitimate methods. The feigned passion ultimately becomes a real one, but at its commencement It may become as hypo critical as . any other abnormal eccentricity. The habitual drunkard may be the distortion of a village Hampden or a mute, inglorious Milton, who has taken to the consumption of beer instead of , patriotism or poetry. Some such reflection must have occurred to many people who have stood upon Epsom Do wns dur ing the past week. What proportioaof the Crowd went there because they really liked it, and what proportion because they only fancied that they must like what so many other peo- le went to seer It is of course an inscruta- le problem, and it is inscrutable precisely because, of all the habitual falsehoods that people tell, the most common are those which concern their pleasures. There would be some sense in saying that no man is a hypo crite in his business; because people are ready enough to admit that they go to the city or attend in chambers for many hours daily, not because they like it, but because they are bound by excellent reasons to win their daily broad. But every man is too proud to admit that he seeks his amusement, although it does not amuse him, because somebody has told him that it ought to be amusing. The most familiar examples are sufficient to establish the fact. Take, for example, a crowd at an evening party. Nine men out of ten will frankly avow that they would nave ueen mucu nappier in tueir sup pers, or at their club, smoking a cigar or reading a new book. They go in obedience to a tyranny which has become proverbial, though they cannot precisely analyse its elements. Or look at the crowds which throng the - Royal. Academy. It would be a liberal computation to say that one man in ten has a real taste for art, or could express any unassisted opinion as to the merits of the rival pictures. But we all profess rather to like it, than otherwise; and come home prepared to be discriminating critics, and to talk as if we had not yawned in spirit throughout our per ambulation and resolved to escape at the first . convenient opportunity. Such threadbare truths, and it would be needless to quote . more, are sufficient to establish the fact that, if we are hypocritical anywhere, we are hypo critical when we pretend to be enjoying our selves; and that the aphorism we have quoted maybe set down with the equally prepos terous aphorism that there is no disputing about tastes. There is nothing about which people dispute so often and so keenly, and there are no disputes which produce such a conscious sense of superiority in the persons concerned. A man who differs from us in polities or theology must be wicked; those who differ from us in matters of taste mast Be not only wicked, but fools; and, as a gene- ral rule, we hate fools more than we hate the wicked. At any rate we despise them more heartily, and contempt adds a bitter flavor to v antipathies which would otherwise be com paratively harmless. ' The philosophy of this curious phenomenon Would deserve some examination. Why is it that we are bo helpless when we are most left to our own devices, and so given to follow example in matters which only concern our. selves? If we would analyse the crowd which .gathered last Wednesday at the Derby, we , should first have to strike out the small num ber who came because they knew something about horse-racing, and .the much larger number who came to piok up a living in one way or other. The first class may be sap ' posed to form the nucleus of the crowd,' and the last are the hangeis-on, predatory and otherwise, who will naturally be found wherever any vast number of human beings are congregated together. But Uking the .great mass who know and care little about the .proceeding which serves as a pretext for their gathering, we have to inquire what is the real attraction, and why they cannot rind ..anything better. ' The only positive reason AT. .A 2 L I 11 . . . iua in apparent is ma pleasure 01 Deing in .a. vast crowa lor a certain number of hours. One might have suDnosed that Tn. -doners, of all people. Would have had enmifh of that particular kind of amusement. Per sons who can walk down the Strand every day of their lives need surely take no particular trouble to see a hundred thousand cockneys in a lump. The answer is, we imagine, that it is pleasant to be in a crowd, simply because a crowd forms spontaneously a kind of eleetrio battery. ' The excitement which' is naturally generated by the contact of . human beings increases in a much greater ratio than the increase of numbers. An audience of two thousand people is, we may say roughly, four times as enthuaiaatio as an audience of one thousand. . Without consciously plung ing into any philosophical specula tions, or. asking how many of , the beings within sight will be alive twenty or fifty years hence, a sensitive observer wy be almost affeeted to tears by the spec tacle of a huge mass of humanity. Thus, t we could credit many men with the poetical sense, it might be a sufficient explanation to say that the crowd goes to 6ee itsttlf. Per suade the inhabitants of London that on a given day a hundred thousand people will be collected on a given spot, and a hundred thousand more would doubtless come to eee them without any assignable pretext. It in the Kiinplt'Kt and iriot-t direct nvtila of obtain ing eiuuiiitnt; and exsitewtnt, pure ana simple, is a great object with those who, like most of , are condemned to a monoto nous and mill-horse round of existence. It is the same; passion which is gratified by pure gambling. It may seem strange that a man should voluntarily put himself in a position of which the only peculiarity is -, that it s uncertain whether he wui be utterly ruined or made twice as rich as be fore; and yet experience proves that for many men there is a strange charm in simple uncertainty. it is ; an escape, tnougn by the simplest possible device, from stagnation, and stagnation is the one thing which is utterly unbearable. We enjoy any agitation for the sake of the agitation, and are glad to stir np a pool with a stick if we cannot got an angel to trouble the waters. Bat the other side of the problem is ' more puzzling. Admitting that we are need of some kind of excitement, why cannot we discover some more positively agreeable means of producing it ? To go on and see a score of horses gallop for between two and three minutes seems to be rather poor form of pleasure, even if a few people, whose names we scarcely know, and in whose fortunes we take the smallest possible interest, have a good deal of money depending- upon which gallops fastest. What is it to us if A. B. has or has not to transfer fifty thousand pounds to O. D.? There is a well-known problem as to whether we would walk across the Strand if we knew that by so doing we should save the life of a mandarin at Pekin; certainly we should not do it to bring about a change In the Chinese Ministry; and to a great ma jority of the crowd at Epsom the ques tion as to . which ornament of the Turf is to receive and which is to lose the money has little more interest than the question whether one collection of mono syllables or another is to be the name of the favorite of the Chinese Emperor. - The only way of discovering an answer is to think of the small number of pleasures which are open to mankind in general. The mass of man kind is pretty much in the position of the proverbial Boapmaker who tried to set up as a country gentleman but was compelled to come back to town on boiling days. We really do not know how to amuse ourselves, and are forced to snatch at the first pretext that offers itself, and to make believe very hard that we are really enjoying ourselves. It is a duty not as yet generally recognized to study the art of pleasure-hunting. Moral ists have assumed that that is one of the tasks which may be left to the unprompted instincts of mankind, and that preachers should confine themselves chiefly to denounc ing an excessive devotion to the pursuit. Yet it is obvious that this ascetic theory takes no notice of a most important deficiency in the characters of most men. We are no more capable of amusing ourselves than of fencing or playing the fiddle without careful training and long practice. If the object of moral teachers is to increase the sum of human happiness, they could certainly inculcate the cultivation of the faculties which are imme diately pleasant to the individual as well as of those which are more indireotly profitable to his race. It is a very good thing to be scru pulously honest and industrious; but the most industrious and honest of men may lead a wretchedly bard and unprofitable life. Why should he not study the theory of de riving the greatest possible amount of inno cent enjoyment from the world which he inhabits, as - well as that of doing good to other peopier Two practical rules would pro bably result from such an inquiry. The first would be the extreme importance to every man of providing himself with a good serviceable hobby. Whether be takes to art or literature or natural science, or even to athletic pursuits, he will be qualified to amuse himself; and the numbers of people who col lect In crowds to see something in which they take the slightest possible interest is simply a proof of how many hobbyless wretches are still crawling about the world. Even a cultivated taste for cookery or wines is better than nothing, so long as it is kept within certain bounds, and not only provides a man with an interesting pursuit, but cer tainly promotes the comfort of his friends. We may admit indeed that this is at about the lowest limit of. permissible pleasure-seek, ing; but it is a lair question for casuistry. whether a man would spend a day better in yawning about a race-course without any taste tor norse-raoing, or in pursuing with moderation a course of experimental inquiry into the art - of dining. There is another rule, however, which is of equal importance, and may be more unre servedly stated. What an enormous advance weuld be at once made in the art of happi ness if people could only be persuaded to a tolerable degree of sincerity ! The principle would cut both ways. There are some things which everybody really likes, but for which, from some arbitrary fashion, it ra customary to avow contempt; as there are many things which everybody hates, and yet which every one is afraid to denounce. One of the great est impediments to sound art is that both artists and their admirers are so much in dined to adopt a style recommended by some preconceived theory as to overlook the im portant question whether they really give and receive pleasure. It is true that, when we know whether a poem or a picture pleases. there is a further question whether it ought to please; but when the habitual hypocrisy or manund leaves us in a complete un certainty as to the first point, our subse quent theorizing is apt to be very unsatisfac tory. There would be in one sense no dis- ftuting about tastes if we only knew which astes were genuine, though we might still ask whether thev were elevated: but &a it is, the first, and often the utterly insoluble question is, whether we really like a so-called Measure or only persuade ourselves that we ike it. If we could thoroughly cross-examine all persons who have been presont at the Derby, and publish an accurate acoouut of their answers, we should guess, judging from the settled gloom which was the preva- I lent expression of most countenances on the i ...... . . . uoinewara roaa, mat ine aitenaanoe next year would be diminished, The simple satisf ac tion of being in a crowd would prove to have been purchased at too dear a rate, and the numbers on subsequent occasions would be thinned down to those who had some bet ter cause for merriment. Meanwhile, suoh performances are likely to remain for many years to come as a standard illustration of the barrenness of the human imagination and the weakness of the pleasure-seeking faculties. I.

Most of the cities f oar Union have pet names- titles of endearment whlca are almost as well knowa si their proper titles. . Tans we have the Garden City, tne Hah, the Crescent and the 'Twin. One among our larger capitals has a name which Is merely a translation of Its own Into a more familiar and better understood language. We mean Phila delphia, the City or Brotherly Love. It Is a city of which an American may well be proad, for here the Declaration of Independence was signed, and the heart of every patriot swells with a nobler emotf.on as he looks upon the bell which pealed forth with Joy at a nation's deliverance. The philanthropist eels his heart throb with pleasure as he views the noble Institutions which a magniaceni charity has erected in that favored spot to relieve the distress of humanity. The friend or science rejoices to seo the city of the great American printer and philosopher abounding In Institutes for science and nurseries or art. Medical students resort to Philadelphia for their professional training. The young man intend ing to adopt the Bar as bis occupation seeks her classic groves. The architect finds in her streets ana squares, her solemn temples and gorgeous palaces, fit examples for his study and imitation. The mer chant from other cities looks with wonder upon the commercial facilities of Philadelphia, her doable port, her mineral treasures poured into her lap from the exhanstlesB resources or the Commonwealth, and the manufacturing energies which pat th wheels or Industry In motion and send the product or her artisans and the result or the energies or her capitalists to the rarthest regions or the West an all points or the compass. From Philadelphia as from a modern Bcthesda a healing pool for the dis eases or humanity flow out the grand remedies which have stood the test or time, and are known and valued wherever mankind la liable to the Ills or flesh or the accidents of climate. Why it Is we know not, bat probably from her magnificent central posi tion or our country, those members or the healing art who furnish the whole world with remedies for every complaint seem to have made their headquarters In the City of Brotherly Love. We could enumerate, had we space and time, a large number of houses engaged in this noble work. Second to none, take, for Instance, those well-known medicines, the Pine Tree Tar Cordial and Dyspepsia Pills. The results of long experience and the subject of many papers before the Philosophical Society of Great Britain, It was left to America to see their virtues tally tested, and to Philadelphia to be come the great centre rrom whleh they tra versed hair the world. Originally Introduced by L. o. C. W1SHART, they rapidly became popular and brought fame and fortune to their proprietor, who some twelve months ago died, full of years and honoi s, respected and regretted by all who knew him. These medicines for that peculiarly American complaint chronic Indigestion or dyspepsia to gether with his fortune, fell into good hands, and the worthy sons carry on their manufacture and dis tribution. HENRY R. WISHART, the principal manager, Is recognized by the profession as a pro mising man, though scarcely thirty years old, pos sessed of the energy which la requisite In his call ing, and which Is so peculiarly characteristic or the PhUadelphlans. He, well knowing that theyhave something the world wants and the people will have. Is extending the fame and knowledge or his father's bequest through the length and Dreadth of the land by an extensive system or newspaper advertising; and the village, must 33. i Ul' . drug store extremely rare, which is not supplied with a stock or the Tar Cordial and Dyspepsia Pills, two preparations which, at the present day, stand foremost In the ranks or patent medicines, and which are the sheet-anchor or health when once that kitchen or the body, the human stomach, gives way under the distressing symptoms or confirmed indigestion. Young and enterprising, a future lies before the WIS HARTS of which any man might be proud, and which they will, we predict, grasp and use with prudence and success. A trade Immense to contemplate lies in the articles and the men. Davenport Democrat, DR. V ISHAR T'3 PINE TREE CORDIAL. nature's Great Remedy. It Is the vital principle of the Pine Tree, obtained by a peculiar process In the distillation of the tar, by which Its highest medical properties are retained. It Is the only safe and reliable remedy which has ever been prepared from the jalce or the Pine Tree. It Invigorates the digestive organs and restores the appetite. It strengthens the debilitated system. It purifies and enriches the blood, and expels rrom the system the corruption which scrofula breeds on the lungs. It dissolves the mucus or phlegm which stops the air passages of the lungs, Its healing principle acts npon the irritated sur face or the lungs and throat, penetrating to each diseased part, relieving pain and subduing Inflam mation. It lsthe result or years of study and experiment, and it is offered to the afflicted with the positive as surance of Its power to cure the following diseases, if the patient has not too long delayed a resort to the means of cure: Consumption of the Lungs, Cough, Sore Throat and Breast, Bronchitis, liver Complaint, Blind and Bleeding Piles, Asthma. Whooping Cough, Diph theria, etc. etc. We are often asked why are not other remedies in the market tor Consumption, Coughs, Colds, and other Pulmonary affections, equal to Dr. L. Q. C.
