I 1 ( TEL DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, MAY S, 187V TBI DE8CEWT OF MAN. A CONTINUATION OF AN OIJ) BONO. Jtfr.-"Ortenslteves." frrm Slachvoti'i Magazine. (Darwin loquitur.') "Man comes from Mammal that livd up a tree, And a great coat of hair on his outside had he, Very much like the Dreadnanghts we fre quently see Which nobody can deny. "He had points to hia ears, and a tail to his rump, To assist him with ease through the branches to jump In Borne cases quite long, and in some a mere stump Which nobody can deny. "This mammal, abstaining from mischievous prank, "Was thought worthy in time to be raised from the ranks, And with some small ado came to stand on two shanks Which nobody ean deny. "Thus planted, his course he so prudently Bteered, That his hand soon improved and his intellect cleared; Then his forehead enlarged and his tail disap peared Whieh nobody can deny. "'T is n't easy to settle when, Man became Man; When the Monkey type stopped and the Human began; But some very queer things were involved in the plan Which nobody can deny. 'Women plainly had beards and big whiskers at first; While the man supplied milk when the baby was nursed; And some other strong facts I could tell if I durst Which nobody can deny. "Our arboreal sire had a pedigree too: The Marsupial system comes here into view; So we'll trace him, I think, to a Great Kan garoo Which nobody can deny. "The Kangaroo's parent, perhaps, was a bird; But an Ornithorhynchns would not be absurd: Then to frogs and strange fishes we back are referred Which nobody can deny." Thus far Darwin has said: But the root of the Tree, Its nature, its name, and what caused it to be, Seem a secret to him, just as much as to me Whioh nobody can deny. Did it always exist as a great institution? And ichat made it start on its first evolution? As to this our good friend offers no contri bution Which nobody can deny. Yet I think that if Darwin would make a clean breast, Borne Botanical views would be frankly con fessed, And that all FleRh is Grass would standboldly expressed Which nobody can deny. The Loves of the Plants, so deliciously sung, Must have softened his heart, when his bosom was young, And the Temple of Nature has prompted his toDgue Which nobody can deny. But now if in future good breeding we prize, To be cherubs and angels we some day may rise; And, indeed, some sweet angels are now in my eyes Which nobody can deny. If this is our wish, we must act with due care; And in choosing our spouses no pains we should spate, But select only those that are wise, good, and fair Which nobody can deny. Yet however he came by it, Man has a Soul That will not so submit to despotio control, As to make Monks and Nuns of three-fourths the whole Which nobody can dony. The Bad may be pretty, the Good may be plain, And sad matches are made from the lucre of gain; Bo perhaps as we are we shall likely remain Which nobody can deny. After all, then, I ask, what's the object in And what practical good from this creed can ensue ? I can't find in it much that's both useful and new view ? Which nobody can deny. Our old mend Lucretius explained long ago How the fittest survive and the weak are laid low; And our friends of the Farm must a thing or two know Which nobody can deny. I would ne'er take offense at what's honestly meant. Or that truth fchould be told of our lowly de scent; ' To be Bprung from the dust I'm humbly con tent Which nobody can deny. But this groping and guessing may all be mistaken, And in sensitive minds may much trouble awaken, Bo I'll shut up ray book, and go back to my JJiieon Which nobody can deny. , TIIE BOSTON MUSEUM OF FIXE ARTS. 'Such is the strength of Art rough things to sispe, And ol rude commons rich enclosures maka." Jamtt llouelU A national mind is. educated in a large sense by circumstances and events, and not by the schoolmaster; for the schoolmaster does not direct the intellectual and moral energy of a people, but simply giyes the re quisite instruction to make that energy effi cient in the pursuits it spontaneously soleutg. Hence national minds rarelyexhibit the com prehensiveness attained by Borne Individ cul minds, though Nature is so btnt on oimpra hensiveness that tha punishes delusiveness of effoit and direction by Vaally weakening the power of pro duction in the narrow fiblds to whio'i its fanatical activity is confired. llir tho ry seems to be that one thing can be thoroua'y understood and mastered only by consid.ii iu it in relation to all other things. The pr t duotive energy of Italy was, at one bridta'-r period of her history, too exclusively devote I to art; the result was an immense collection of works of art, but a palpable falling off in tho capacity of artihtio creation; and the revolu tion which, in our generation, Ims somewhat diverted her energy -to poli- ties and industry will doubtless end in stimulating the lazy artistic sentiments of the people into real productive force. We may look for some worthy suc cessors of Titian, Raphael, and Miohael An gelo, now that Italy is so longer a gallery of painting and sculpture, but a country in which constitutional government itf going through the most fiery of all ordeals, in which the immediate practical needs of in dustry absorb the attention of statistical statesmen, and in whioh the opening of a petroleum well is considered of more im portance than the unearthing of some statue which formerly graced the palaee of Nero, or the detection in some obsonre corner of a little masterpiece of Raphael. Now our country is the exact opposite of Italy. The Italian peasants and workmen have an instinctive appreciation of art which often shames our wealthy and cultivated amateurs by its delicacy and certainty. The artistic sense is in the blood as well as in the brain of the people. What we by laborious Rtudy strive to attain is theirs by inheritance. The immense energy of the Amerioan people has been disproportionately directed to in dustrial, as distinguished from artistic crea tion. The miracles wrought by our industry may outvalue all the miracles wrought by the Italian painters and sculptors of the sixteenth century; but still we find that nature convicts us of a most humiliating non sequitur. "You have," she says, "created wealth in a most sur prising way. Never before were such great fortunes amassed by the leaders of industry. Without wasting a word on your Vanderbilts, Drews, Goulds, and Fisks, I admit that your real, your honest creators of wealth, are to be honored. But what is the reward of their labors? Simply this, to live in ugly expensive houses, decorated with ugly expensive furni ture, and to find no compensation for their creative work but in wines, dogs, auJ horses." The artistio element in life comes in, at this point in the rich man's experience, to extend his pleasures. It proffers architec ture, sculpture, and painting as a comple ment, if not as a substitute., tor wines, dogs, and horses. It must also be said that the success of our industry now depends on the union of the artisan with the artist. In England, Ger many, France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, the artist has appeared as the ally of the workman. In this country he has hereto fore been separated from his natural brother. The result is that our industry, the field in which we have expended our whole produc tive energies has received a palpable check. The kitchen as well as the parlor reoognizos the fact that we are behind Europe in the "beauty" in the artistio excellence of our goods. By neglecting art we are thus in danger of lowering the value of our industry. If we take the hint whioh foreign competition furnisues, we shall ele vate the laborer and at the same time elevate the capitalist. By introducing art into our work we shall double its value; and the vul garity which now clings to the rough able man who has rapidly made a fortune, bat who has neither manners nor culture, will disap pear when to make a fortune it becomes in dispensable that tne element of beauty shall enter into all the products of his enterprise, of his sagacity, of his business talent, of his power to direct hundreds of skilled laborers to a definite end. As far as he makes money, he will use it to promote purposes essentially artistic; and tne laborer will be enrioaed by the constant reaction of art on industry. The wonderful rapidity with which the wealth of Boston has responded to the coll for a liberal subscription to a Museum of the Fine Arts shows that shrewd business men are all alive to the necessity of uniting the artist to the artisan, in order that the indus try of the United States shall compete with that of foreign countries. I he old prejudice against art, as something divorced from in dustry, has melted away before tne palpable fact that in Europe they are blended. The manufacturer has come to the conclusion that it would be better for him and his workmen, that a higher standard of workmanship should be at once established. This cau only be done by what we may call "the education of the publio eye. It is hopeless to dream that this "Educa tion of the Fublio Eye" is possible except by establishing a sort of "Kindergarten School" of tho line Arts. orkmen must have some place where they can "loaf in and out" some place where copies of the masterpieces of architecture, sculpture, and painting are freely displayed some place as open to them as the Boston Common before they can hope to catch the inspiration of art, The object of the" Museum of the Fiue Arts is to furnish them with a magnificent school, where they will insensibly be trained into a perception of the beauty of forms and colors which genius has made immortal. The art of Greece, liome, Italy, France, Ger many, England, will be there in miniature, ine .trustees are not so mad as to suppose that they can transport to the United States the artistio treasures of the Vatican or of the Louvre. They do not pretend to have any power to buy the Dresden Madonna, or the Descent from the Cross, or the Transrigura tion; but they think that, by copies, by en cravings, by photographs, by plaster busts, they can give a clear idea of the principles and history of art, at a comparatively small expense. The New York Museum is started on the sume essential principles. That both may succeed is tha prayer ot ull persons who have an intelligent perception of the interests both of art and industry. hcery Saturday.
