Newspaper Indecencies
The Tearful extent of indecency and vul
garity, which has been reached by many of
our secular newspapers, is beginning to be
sorely felt. These papers are even beginning
to expose and reprove one another. With
what shameless detail are all the particulars
of vulgar trials, with their vulgar testimony,
paraded before the public. In this way, the
pure over the land are daily insulted by the
moral stench of the city degradation, and the
morbid, beastly souls of the impure fed. on new
iniquities. The time was, says the Balti
more Patriot, truly, when these horrors and
pruriences were confined, in fiction to novels
from the French, and in fact, to the Newgato
Calender, and. works of a kindred stamp.—
But that period has passed away, and now
our leading newspapers combine the worst
features of both, by seizing every opportuni
ty of spreading before their readers the min
utest circumstance connected with acts of
gross licentiousness, as disclosed before the
public tribunals, and of narrating with the
most revolting particularity, the testimony of
witnesses with respect to crimes• still more
awful. Not only indecent trials are thus re
ported, but floe most abominable advertise
ments are to be seen in almost all our papers.
While there: are many who breathe freely and
naturally in this kind atmosphere, there are
many also, to whom the thing is growing into
an intolerable evil. The extent to which the
disgust of a large portion of newspaper pat
rons has risen,. is not suspected by many pa
pers which have been led gradually to grow
in the desire of pampering to this wretched
taste. We know persons who have stopped
old and once favorite papers from no other
cause. We know also others, who, from a
desire to', retain such papers on account of
other qualities, are prompt to watch their ap
pearance from week to week, and from day
to, day, in order to keep them out of the hands
of their children, still delaying and debating
whether, to proscribe -and send them back
finally. The matter begins to come earnestly
home to the business and bosom of all who
have wives or sisters, or daughters, or sons,
"with eyes to read a newspaper, or ears to
hear a newsboy." We join heartily with
some high-minded journalists in saying, we
are glad to see that many of the most respec
table papers of the country,oin in protesting
against the publication of indecent trials, and
all those low advertisements which, in many
journals, insult the eyes of the pure. "What
wonder is it, that the cause of good morals
should suffer grievous injury, and the growth
of the religious sentiment be impeded, when
able but unscrupulous publicists, for a trifling
pecuniary gain, daily pander to the morbid
tastes of the community, and thus sap the
very foundations of morality and virtue." It
is only by comparing the present style of
newspapers with those of former times, that
the full and fearful degeneracy can be seen.
We had occasion some time ago, in course of
investigations pertaining to another matter,
to examine old files of newspapers in the
Philadelphia Library, when we were forcibly
reminded of this downward tendency in the
character and style of newspapers. What a
dignity, gravity, classic-earnestness, and moral
purity distinguished the papers of earlier
days, from many of the wishy-washy sheets
of the present day. We were struck partic
ularly by the dignity kept up in the depart
ment of anecdotes. Not a single one after
the style of our modern bar-room anecdotes,
born in low ignorance, was to be seen; they
were all dignified, instructive, conceived in
the spirit of true wisdom, wit and humor.—
We cannot forbear to remark, how wit and
humor, so excellent in themselves, are degra
ded in most of our newspapers, even in those
which are professedly devoted to the illustra
tion of these powers, and which undertake
to provide, for this taste, low caricature, fool
ish sayings, and silly things, you have in
abundance; but genuine wit and humor,
scarcely once a month. These occur, not at
all as the rule, but only by accident, as the
exception. There is too much superficiality,
too little earnestness and solemnity, to per
ceive, much less, to produce true wit and pure
humor. If the wits and :.humorists of the
old English School should happen among our
modern newspaper pretenders to wit, they
would suppose themselves to have happened
into a lunatic asylum. As it is against the
indecency of a great many of our newspa
pers that we are protesting, we will appeal
to the reader's judgment, whether a large
proportion of what is intended as witty and
humorous, is not downright indecency—fiat
enough to suit the lowest taste. Who does
not know papers in abundance, the editors of
which get themselves up as the jokers of the
community, making before their readers, day
after day and week after week, the silliest
attempts to be funny; endeavoring, so far
as they can call forth imitation, to-reduce the
english language itself to a billingsgate level
—giving a printed dignity to the common by
words and cant phrases of the bar-room, the
street and the stable. Let the respectable
portion of the reading community set their
faces against these insults to all decency and
good taste. It is an insidious and far-reach
ing vice. It grows in boldness if let alone.
He that reads and endorses the shame, and
so far encourages its continuance, there are
left, in the midst of the polluted newspaper
sardis, some noble exceptions which have not
defiled themselves with the reigning indecen
cy. Let such be patronized. If the morbid
and vulgar Will have and read the filthy rags
of Tamuz, let them have them in lonely glory.
Shade Trees.
We clip the following from the Utica Herald.
It is applicable to country towns as well as
cities.
There is no single feature which more im
mediately arrests the eye of the stranger as
he walks along our streets in the summer sea
son. A few of our streets present a sylvan
aspect, Which will hardly suffer in compari
son with any in the State or land. Many of
the trees are very large and stately, and am
ple in their foliage. Long may these leafy
sentinels stand to grace and ornament the
town.
But the good work has not been half accom
plished. Where there is one shade tree now,
there ought to be three. Streets upon which
there is hardly a leaf growing in summer time
ought to be studded with healthy growing
trees. We know of no better method of ad
vertising real estate than by planting shade
trees. Not only do they beautify but they
enhance the value. Rely upon it, that upon
every graceful tree you plant, you will have
more than seven per cent, returned. What
man of taste would care to buy a naked mass
of brick and mortar, when he can purchase a
bit of forest besides for a few dollars addi
tional?
We are sure that if our property holding
citizens consult their own true interests they
will not fail to avail themselves of these cheap
but invaluable ornaments. The man who
plants a tree is a public benefactor. There
will be lips to sound his name with reverence,
and hearts to garner his memory with grati
tude when ho is gone. A more living testi
monial than lofty columns will be these leafy
monuments. They will prove a more elo
quent bequest than groaning coffers or titled
deeds.
Blessed be he who invented shade trees,
and thrice blessed be he who protects and nur
tures them.
The maple is one of the best shade trees
for city growth. It is not affected a particle
by the extremes of heat and cold. It forms
a beautiful head with clean glossy foliage,
smooth bark, is free from all insects, and has
a rapid growth. In five years, in a good soil,
it makes a fine symmetrical head, with grace
fully sweeping branches, and affords a dense
shade. The American tulip tree is alsovery
nice. Its great elegance of habit and striking
beauty of leaf and blossom recommend it to
any one who has an eye to fine proportions.—
It requires a deep soil, with plenty of room
to expand freely on all sides. It will not
bear removing when large; but small trees
grow rapidly when transplanted into deep
soil.
COL. FORNEY'S "PRESS."--The Toledo (Ohio)
Commercial, having received a prospectus of
Col. FORNEY'S proposed paper, speaks thus of
him and his enterprise:
Col. Forney p ossesses great ability and has
had much editorial experience; he is an adroit,
wiry political tactician, and a successful party
leader. We fear, however, that, the estab
lishment of a second Democratic daily in
Philadelphia, bodes no good to the Democra
cy of Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvanian is
all the wants of the party require—" The
Press" will at least be unnecessary. If Col.
Forney is again to be connected with the
Philadelphia press, it would seem better for
all concerned that arrangements be made to
give him hiS former position in the office of
the Pennsylvanian.

'Tis hard to bid our friends farewell;
To givo the parting kiss;
Although the smiles of peace foretell
Their hopes of heavenly bliss.
The heart still clings with tender love,
To those so near and dear ;
We grieve to see them mount above,
And fain would keep them here.
Our brother dear, we mourn for thee,
Cut down in youthful bloom :
A mother's stay, a sister's hope,
We bore thee to thy tomb.
0! Comforter Divine, we ask
Thine all sustaining grace;
0! let us in our sorrow see
Our Father's smiling face.
Ah! yes, amid our bitter tears
There comes a thrill of peace ;
For death will in a few short years
Our spirits too, release.
Then mounting on the wings of love,
Set free from every care;
We'll soar aloft to heaven above,
And greet our love(' ono there.

JULY AND AUGUST APPOINTMENTS
R. HARDMAN, Physician for the
disease of the Lungs, (formerly Physician to Cincin
nati Marine Hospital) will be in attendance at his room's

Dr. Hardman treats Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma,
Larryngittis and all diseases of the throat and lungs, by
Medical Inhalation, lately used in the Bromton Hospital,
London. The great point in the treatment of all human
maladies, is to get at the disease in the direct manner.—
All medicines are estimated by their action upon the organ
requiring relief. This is the important fact upon which
'lnhalation is based. If the stomach is diseased we take
medicine directly into the stomach. If the lungs are dis
eased, breathe or inhale medicated vapors directly into
the lungs. Medicines are antidotes to disease and should
be applied to the very seat of disease. Inhalation is the
application of this principle to the treatment of the Itings,,
for it gives us direct access to those intricate air cells, and
tubes which lie out of reach of every other means of ad=
ministering medicines. The reason that Consumption,
and other diseases of the lungs, have heretofore resisted
all treatment has been because they have never been ap
proached in a direct manner by medicine. They were in
tended to act upon the lungs, and yet were applied to the
stomach. Their action was intended to be local, and yet,
they were so administered that they should only act con
stitutionally, expending their immediate and principal ac
tion upon the unoffending stomach, whilst the foul ulcers'
within the lungs were unmolested. Inhalation brings'
the medicine in direct contact with the disease, without
the disadvantage of any violent action. Its application is
so simple, that it can be employed by the youngest infant
or feeblest invalid. It does not derange the stomach, or in
terfere in the least degree with the strength, comfort, or
business of the patient.
Other Diseases Treated.—ln relation to the following dis-
eases, either when complicated with lung affections or ex
isting alone, I also invite consultation, I usually find them
promptly curable.
Prolapsus and all other forms of Female Complaints, Ir
regularities and Weakness.
Palpitation and all other forms of Heart Disease, Liver
Complaints, Dyspepsia, and all other diseases of stomach
and bowels, &c.
All diseases of the eye and ear. Neuralgia, Epilepsy,
and all forms of nervous disease.
