DANT ! But, Mr. Editor, with'your
permission, we will prosecute our
original intention by enquiring into
•the influences of good novels tin' thq
mind of the reader, and thus.upon
society and civilization. MO read to
'be impressed and informal The
power of an. author, and consequent,.
ky ezzeßence and efficiency of *
book, depends u the, intensar o f
the effect it , • cesupon the valid.
There are some methods of iinpressing
truth more effectively than °themes
well as Some - men •- eiu
their views more successfully . than
other men. In fact, one man is ' su
perior to another in instructing and
teaching—one book is better than
another, generally according to-the
lacy or-manner in which it presents
the truth. Again, that method of
instruction is the mos:impressive and
effective which presents truth in the
most attractive forms—which has a
regard for the mind's love of &Sade
ice as well as of ethiess—whichuffliate
the sympathies of the feelings and
touches the soul at the same time
that it exercises the ration and ap.
peals to the sterner faculties of the
mind. These two principles admit
ted, we shall then be prepared to al.
law that if there are novel; that tool
truth, their effect upon the mind for
good will depend upon• the way: in
which the author presents. it. If he
wishes to illustrate a truth, and can
write powerfully and effectively ; the
influence of the novel will 'be' great
for good, and vice versa. Now, It,
are not prepared to admit that any
novel is good unless it teaches or
lustrates truth, and does iteffectively.
That there are such novels, we are
firmly convinced. We confidently
believe that there are worked fiction
which have worthy aiins, noble ob.
jects - to accomplish, some 'benefit to
society as their marpiringad sthnu. ,
lating cause, and that not ,only purr
sue these ends with the , Whest
emir) , ability and intelle power;
but employ only tlii wisest and most
commendable means. If there are
such novels; hovi can they Have any
other effect than for
_Food ? They
must stamp upon the end their pure
motives,' their noble impulses, their
elevating thoughts, their noble aims,
in proportion as they are works of
ability, thus rousing up 'the soul of .
the reader to effort, and actuating
him to vindicate the truth in his in
tercourse with the world. Soares
works 'we classify among ; these *ban
dard novels. Iris fiction--both ;of
poetry. and prose—belong to what is
termed the "historic novel7—this
specific name being derived from the
aim of the works: to ilhistrate historic
truths or principles. &cm's whole

we mcirelhaii doubled teachers, schol

there were seventeen schools, with a

boards instead of the sawdust .

" At' the time of her capture she
was only two years Old ; but Smith,
the , captor, Assisted -by p arty of
Africans and dogs,.found her - as hard.
to r control in her infancy am most "-
men are of • a mature age. After a
fe weeks' trainin g she was started
for the toast; eight hundred miles
away, and Kenyon' •has -yet in his
cages two large hyenas that rode in
baskets slung over Miss Annie's back.
Her cost in NeW York was eight
thousand dollars ' and at the time of
her purchase she was the imsdkat
elephant in the country, and , is still
the only_ genuine African elephant.
Though she.has' never been herd
pusfied.to test her linduntice on 'the
road, she once took a stretch of forty
two milmi over the rocky roads of
Pennsylvania in eleven hours, and
showed not the least sign of exhaus
tion.
Mies Annie is. a model female—
one of the old school, and would as
soon twist her head off with her trunk
as to harm a human who treat
ed her courbsdiudy. Last winter, in
her quarters' at Pluladelphia, she ex
hibited love and hate in a very singe
'ar manner. McLaughlin had im
bibed rather freely, and returning to
the barn, got into a difficulty with a
policenian, who was bent on arrest
ing him. The cop had been aromsd
the barna good deal,• and wait some
what acquainted-with the elephant.
The trainer fled to the barn,and get
g behind 'Baby,' refused to submit
to ,- The M. P. boldly' adiiseed
to I him out, wheh the elephant
thrust • , aside with her tniuk. This
was repeated ai3veral exiles, the train
er encouraging her,
,when the police
man gavnher an angryAolow with his
baton and tionght toal by. l3low
ing her shrill lamm "Baby,' caught
him around the wmst,and giving him
a strong whirl dted the frighten",
ed blue coat in a-Urrelof oats thirty
feet away, As he had no instructions
to arrest eleplumt, and could not
arrest the man without her, he con
cluded not,to press matters further:
"At another time last simmer,
during a het night, McLaughlin laid
down beside 'Baby' on a bale - of hay,
and soon fell asleep. Near him was
the cage of the Bengal tiger, a fierce
and ungovernable animakand treach
erous to the last degree. By lying
down the beast,could get his paws at
full length under the bars, and on the
morning of that very day had thus
given lus unsupecting keeper a stroke
with his claws that tore open the
man's cheek in a horrible manner.
, Retitless, McLaughlin rolled about,
and the eyes of the Royal glistened
is he saw the body coming nearer to
his cruel claws. At length, just as
one of the keepers entered the door,
the trainer rolled down so near that
the tiger reached out and caught •his
clOthes liPith a savage snarl, he
straightening back for a pull; to
get the flesh under his nails, w he n the
elephant, 'who had also been sleeping,
rose up at the growl, and seeing the
situation at a glance,rnshed forward,
before the man at the door hid scarce
ly advanced step and with a blow
of her trunk mad/the tiger let go his

A correspondent of the New York
Evening Pest gives the following
graphic account of the manufacture
of pins as it is now conducted :
The pin machine is one of the
closest approaches that mechanics
have ma& to the dexterity of the hu
man hand. • A entail machine, about ,
the size of a ladies' sewing machine,
only stronger, stands before you. On
the back side a slight belt descends
from the long shaft at the anlinglhat
drives all the machines, range 4. in
rows on the floor. On the left ,side
of our machine hangs on a peg a .
small reel of awe, that has been
straightened-dy running through a
compound system of small rollers. ,
This' wire descends andthe end of
it enters the machine. This' is the
food consumed by this snappish. vo
racious little dwarf. He pulls it ire„ .
and bites it off by inches, incessantly,
one hundred and forty bites to the
minute. Just as he seizes each bite
a saucy little hammer, with a concave
face, hits the end-of the wire • three
taps and " upsets" it to a head, while
he gripes it in a countersunk hole,
between his teeth. With an outward
thrust of his tongue he then lays the
pin sidewise in a little groove acrciss -
the rim of &small wheel that slowly re
volves underhis nose. By the external
pressure of a stationary- hoop these
pins roll in their places as tboy are
carried under two series of Antall files,
three in each. These files grownriall-_
er toward the end of the series.—They
lay at a slight inclination on the
points of the pins, and by a series of
cams, levers, and springs, are made
to"comelikelightzung." Thus,the pins
are . pointed and•dropped in a little
Shower into a box.--iriventy-eight
pounds of pins is a day's work for
one of these -jerking little..nutoma
tons.—Forty machines on, his floor
make five hundred and sixty pounds
daily. These are then polished. Two
very intelligent machines reject every
crooked pin, even the slightest irreg
ularity of form being detected: •
Another automaton assorts half a
dozen lengths in' as. many different
boxes, all at once and unerringly,
when a careless operator has mixed
the contents of boxes from various
machines. Lastly, a perfect genius
of a inachine hangs the pins by the,
head in an inclined platform through .
as* many " slots" as there are pins m
a row on the papers. These converge
into the exact space spanning the
length of a row: Under them runs
the strip of pin paper. A hand like
part of the machine catches one pin
from each of the slots as it falls, and
by one movement sticks them all
through two cornigited ridges in the
mter, from which they are to be
,picked up by taper fingers in boud
oirs, and all sorta-of human fingers
in all sorts of human circumstances..
Thus youhave its genesis :

And in sorrow we love and trust our
