Business men, says the Philadel phia Ledger, constitute the vast ma jority of mankind. All who have to work for their living, whether as la= borers, craftsmen, clerks, managers of factories or stores, professionals, soldiers, sailors, statesmen are in re ality business men, although in the more limited sense of the word it in cludes , only merchants and persons engaged in buying and selling, or in conducting large establishments. The number of men who are placed beyond the necessity of earning their daily bread by the use of their brains _forins'a very small minority of the human race, and this is a considera tion of primary importance when the subject of the education of boys those boys who are to be the world's future business men comes up. Could a parent at the outset of his son's career foresee with certainty what it would lead to, there would be comparatively little difficulty in providing him with that kind of edu cation best adapted for his success. But as this foresight is denied to-hu man beings, the next best thing is to devise such a system of training shall, on the average, be best for the largest number of boys. In mann , lecturing branches of industry, a bet ter . educated workman is 'required now to do the intelligent work- de manded of him than was the case fifty-Sears ago, and in commerce gen erally, there is a greater demand for educated men, and the directions which it new takes, call forth more and more a man's abilities. What, then, ought to be the preliminary training which will enable the busi ness man to grasp with readiness the merits and demerits of the theories, ideas and experiments, which are constantly being suggested to him in the 'course of his business? :Ought he to have been previously thorough ly drilled in the classics 'l to be a master of the intricacies of Greek gramniar, and be able to compose faultless Latin verses to be able to calculate an eclipse, or to investi gate the properties of a curve ? or should he be content with a moder ate knowledge of Greek, Latin and mathematics, and devote a propor tion of his time to, the " onomies," and " elegies ? " or should he ab stain from classics altogether, and 15 content with mastering his own `langitage,- and such a moderate amount of mathematics as will suffice for book-keeping, land-surveying, eugineering•or navigation? Each of these plans has its advocates. In the old world, particularly in Eng land and Germany, a classical edu cation is deemetl of prime. iinpor tance, and those youths who are not versed in ancient literature, geogra-' phv, and mythology, are apt to be looked down upon. It is not so here, however, and it is well known that many of our most successful business mon and influential citizens have be gun life with little knowledge beyond what their native sagacity enabled them to acquire for themselves. This fact is sufficient to prove that a clasi ical education is not essential to suc cess in business. It has pleasures and advantages which enure to the benefit of the man of leisure 'or Of those who devote their abilities to literature, theology, medicine and law, but these are not properly " bu siness men." It cannot well be said that a Classical education is useless, or an obstruction to a business man. It will enable him to improve his leisure hours, and it willimquestion ably assist him in understanding and . appreciating much of the world's art and literature, which would other-, wise be but imperfectly understood by him, find this is a means of refin ing his taste and his pleasures. • So the study of the sciences -in youth may not lead to any practical reSults, but it renders easy the sub sequent application to them, Should it be needed. A - course of ehetnistry for instance, undergone by a young man of lwenty,,, may- prove utterly useless•to liiw iu a business Sense, because he . may enter .on ptistits which require no knowledge of that science, and after thirty Years the science itself will have undergone considerable transformation; ..yet should he then have -to turn his at tention to, it, his previous knowledge will make his path smooth to the fu ture. And so_ with the 4other scien ces. The elementary principles, once acquired, will always be useful in aiding, the future min to understand much that ho will meet with in liter- L S. t A TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PA., SEPTEMBER 2/1870. stun,' newspapers and conversation: For these reasons the mastery of the elements - of . .the physical sciences ought to, form a portion every boy% education:l But there is inother consideration which ought nal() overlooked, and that is, that the boy, of to-day will bo the citizen of to morrow, perhaps the legislator of the next.day; therefore, it is important that he should be taught the rudi nimbi of law and political economy, together with a clear and sufficient .explanation of the pririciples of the Constitution and the history of , this country, and of so much, of &St of England as will enable him to better comprehend our own.

JOHN BROWN'S HOME AND GRAVE. The house is unpainted andplain, though equal to the ordinary farm houses of the region. It stands well up the hills, seperated from the wil derness by a few cleared fields com manding a majestic view of the mountain world. A few - rods in front, a huge boulder, surrounded by a plain board fence, is fit monument of the fierce old apostle of liberty. At its foot is the grave. The head stone was brought from an old grave: yard in New England, where it stood over the grave of his father, Captain John Brown, who died in New. York . in 1776. The whole stone is covered with the family inscriptions: :John Brown, executed at Charlestown, Va., December 2, 1859; Oliver and Wat son, his sons, both killed at HarpeF's Ferry the same year; and his son Frederick;lmurdered in Kansas by border-rnffians in 1856. Above the little grassy enclosure towers the mighty rock, almost As high as the house, and on its summit is cut in massive granite characters the in scription : "John Brown, 1859." Standing on the top of this monu mental rock, says a writer in the September number of Old and New, for the first time I 4 felt that I com prehend the • character of the man whose name it commemorates. I well understand hew such a man, formed in the thouldi of the old Scotch Covenanters and English Puritans, brooding over the horrors of slavery, forseeing the impending . struggle for-liberty, maddened by the murder'. of his son and friends in Kansas, with the mighty northern hill looking down upon him, the rush of strong rivers, and the song of re sounding tempests, and the mystery of illimitable wilderness all about him, should easy come to think him self inspired to descend like a moun tain-torrent, and sweep the black curse from out the land. I reverent ly raised my hat, und sung "John Brbwn'a pody lies ULmouldering in thi3 grave, his soul is marching on." luy singing brought out two men, who seemed exploring' the laniar), ited place. They took me in their buckboard, and we jolted 'down the valley. They told me the estate was nearly all sold, and the family re moved to California; that the man who owns the . house would sell it, with a hundred and sixty acres of land, for fifteen hundred dollars, wishing to remove to Kansas.

OUTWARD BEAUTY ' .--Believe me, there is many a road into our hearts besides our ears and brains; many a sight, and sound, and accent, even of which we have -- never thought at all, sinks into our memory, and helps to shape our chdracters; and thus chil dren brought up among beautiful sights and sweet .sounds, will most likely show the fruits of their ,nurs ing by thoughtfulness, and affection, and nobleness of mind, even by the expression of the countenance Those who live in towns should carefully remember this, for their own sakes, for their wives' sakes, for their chil dren's sakes. Never lose an oppor tunity of seeing anything beautiful. Beauty is • Pod's handwriting— a wayside sacrament; welcome it in every fair face, every fair sky, every fair flower, and thank for it, Him, the fountain of all loveliness, in' drink it simply - and earnestly, with all your eyes;• it is a charmed draught, a cup of blessing. _ ANXIETY AND LADOIL—You CADDO ~ , ril escape from ansietrand labor; i is the destiny of humanity.

Here'we got a most hearty reception from the priest& So far from their being un willing to see us, we saw the same day a procession of the gods.. There was'a great crowd;, but they all made way for our carriage, and they turn ed the 'god round' in all directions that we might see him. We entered their magnificent pagoda, seven or eight stories high, and found our selves in a great beautiful court, sur rounded by verandahs on every side; and as I looked at that splendid tem ple and the great 1111, supported by 'beautiful carved pillars on the left, and then the tank, and the temple in the middle of the tank, I said: "If religion consists in having fine temples, this beats our churches.— we have nothing like it.". There never was anything more splendid, than the temple. We .ap-, preached again the distant lane' of the temple, and were_ told to wait. On looking into the darkness, for there is no light, by-and-b . y, you hear the sound of wild music, and then a number of white-draped fig ures come out on one side, and form in procession with a number of blaz ing flambeaux. Then by-and-by, the god comes out, bedecked with jewels, and carried on the shoulders of the - attendants the same sort of thing that you see at St. Peter's, or when the Pope is carried—and they bow down on their knees before him, and sing praises before the god. Then tLoy produce about 50,0001 worth of jewelry bracelets, and so on all to be put on the heads of the gods. And they explained every thing. They were glad to hear any thing we might say, and, as far as I know, we might at that moment have risen and preached the Gospel without any opposition from the peo ple.—Reu. Dr. Maclepd. A DONATION PARTY. Up in Pennsylvania there is a -Methodist clergyman whose nom inal salary is four hundred and fifty dollars a year.

ORIGIN OF HYGIENF.—ACCOrdiIIg to Dr. Lyon Playfair, the study of sani tary science in England arose from a singular accident. The Court and Parliament 'were at Oxford, which had been recently drained, and tha citizens had removed all accumula tion of filth and garbage from the streets, lest they should offend the nostrils of their distinguished.guests. The plague was raging at the time, and, Oxford was the only place which enjoyed an immunity from it. Cause and effect were for the first ,time connected in the public mind, which was thus enlightened for the first time as to the nature of what now call pythogenic, or filth-born maladies. Prior to that, the meas ures recommended by the council of the physicians' of Paris for the arrest of the plague were: —That if a shower of rain fell during the day a' spoonful of treacle should be . taken, and that fat people should:not sit in the sun. 'Michelet declares that for several centuries during which filth reigned supreme, not a man, woman, .or child in Europe took a bath col: untarily and out of a desire for clean , . liness. Out of this chronic and wide spread filth arose the black death, the plague, the sweating sickness, and other pestilences, the conse quences of bad hygienic conditions. THE HUSDANIEL—Ladies sometimes do not value their husbands ;as they ought. They frequently 'gum the value of a good husband for the first time, by the loss of Aim. Yet the husband is the very 'roof tree of the house the corner stone of the edi fice-- the key stone of the arch call ed home. Ho is the bread-winner of the family —its defence and its glory the beginning and ending of the goldeif cham 'of life which surrounds it its counselor, .i!s lawgiver and its king. And Yet we - see how frail is that life on which se much -de pends. How frail is the life of the 'husband and the father! When he is taken away who shall take his place? When sick, what gloomy clouds hover -over the house; when dead, what darkness, r , weeping, agony ! Then poverty, like the mur derous assassin, breaks in at the window;-starvation, like a famishing wolf, howls at the door. Widow hood is too often the associate of .sackcloth and usher.. Orphanhood too often means desolation_and woe. , . •• • - I'l DAYS' OF 1111 r YOUTH. ' The following beautiful 'atul * Mucking lines Will commend themselves; to every reader of refitted taste.

Edimating the coal remaining in the British Islands to the depth of 4,000 feet to be 37,- 300,000,000 of tons,-this quantity of coal would supply the annual de mand of 305,000,000 for 355 years; and taking the limit to deep 'mining to be a 'depth froui the surface of 7,000, feet, the further quantity of coal estimated to be workable to this depth was 57,222,000,000 of • tons, which would eltend the supply for a further period of 535 years. Deep coal mining has been c ar ried on more extensively in Belgium than in En,gle.nd, there being only twelve pits of a greater depth than- 1,500 feet in the latter country, as compar ed with sixty-eight in the former. The deepest coal mine in the world was probably that of Simon Lambert in Belgium, which had attained the -depth of 3,489 feet. - The deepest coal mine in England was the Bose bridge colliery, in Lancashire,. which had reached a depth of 2,418 feet, the temperature of the coal - at that depth being 93.5 deg. The' distance . from the surface of the ground to the stra tum of invariable temperature might be taken at 60 feet, and the constant temperature at that depth at 50 deg. The accounts published between . 1809 and 1840 of several hundred expeji ments relating to the temperatur&of coal and,metallifercius mines showed the increase of temperature to vary from deg. for every 45 feet to 1 deg.* every 69 feet; the dietance from thc4surface at which the exper iments were made varying from 109 k t to 1,700 fee The 'results of more recent expen ents in England and on the Contin The were irregular, and shored an increase varying from one deg. for every 41 eet to 78 feet, the distance from the rface being from 700 to 2,600. On co paring the ex periments made at th two deepest English coal 'mines - r Rosebridge -and Dukinfiekr---.it was \found. that the increase of teniporitur duo Ito depth was much less rapi d at the latter colliery than at the ormer, and this difference was assumed in a paper read recently by Mr. Iluk to be due to an amount of heat being lost at', Dirkinfield, owing 'to the heavy inclination of the st;ata, which\ was about 1 in 3, while at Rosebridge the coal seam was nearly level. The relation of the position of the bottom of the mine 'to a sea level influenced the temperature, as shown ..in' ac Companying tables. -.ln one table the average_ increase of 'the temperature of three mines of a high elevation was 1 deg. for every 71.6 feet, while. the increase for three mines at some distance below the level of the sea was 1 deg. for every 62:3 feet. The experiments relating to the underground temperatnie Of the air at the Rosebridge colliery showed an increase in the temperature of the air in passing from the downcast to the upcast shaft of from 55 deg. to 63 deg.; the air passing through work ings the temperature of which was 78 deg., and the normal temperature of the coal being 93.5 deg. - The ex-.. periments at Monkwearmouth. show ed the effect of a, large volume of air in preitnting a rise in temperature. At .a distance of 1,800 yards from the shaft, With 80,000 „cubic feet of air passing per minute, the tempera., tare was 55 deg., whilst at a distance of 2,600 yards from the shaft; with 10,000 cubic feet of 'air circulating per minute, the temperature was found to be 67 deg. • The normal temperature of the coal might be estimated, from the re sults of experiments at Seaham Col liery,,to exist in a main air channel, which had been exposed to the air for some time, at a distance of about 13 feet from the surface of the min eral. The highest temperature at' which coal mines were worked• was probably in Staffordshire and at the Monkwearmouth Colliery, where the temperature varied from 80 to 85 deg. At the Clifford Tin Mine,, in -Cornwall, the temperature was 120 des., in which the miners could only work for 27 minutes consecutively, this high temperature being due to the heat of the water issuing, from the rock. It would appear_ from the contradictory results of the experi ments relating to the temperature of . different minerals that no rule could be laid down. It was, _probably, however, that the temperature of mines was affected_ to some extent by the varying conducting power of dif ferent minerals... Trom the observations recorded it would seem that as a rule when the temperature of the 'surface exceeded 66 deg. the temperature at the bot tom of the pit was less than at 'the top, but when less than 66 deg. at the top of the pit an increased tem, perature was found at the bottom. The increase in the temperattue, due to the increased density of the air in deep mines was estimated at 1 deg. for every 800 feet, Making the Ineaw 02 per Annum' in Advance. temperabue of 'the pit. 7,000 -feet deep above 60. deg. In,regard to the raising lof coat the 13robable • limit from which it might be drawn at one' lift was esti mated to ; bkabout 900 yards, below: which depth ono .winding engine at the sarface and orie in the shaft would be required. • • .

It 'may not ,bee amiss to note a difference that exists between plants and animals: 1. That plants throw off oxygen and inhale carbonic acid, while ord inals throw oi r , carbonic acid and. in oxygen. 2. Plonts feed ou inor ganic matter and animals on .orgin- - ic matter,. Food therefore comes spentaneorislY to plants, but far otherwise to animals. ' In the light. of -physiology We must search out the law that applies to the government of the-animal ' organs, in which by means of vital action or organic force ; the.animal functions are carried on. The use or disease of alcohol is pri marily concerned with the natural rind morbid' conditions of the vital forces. In the physicaLsystem these forces are manifested. in "Irritabili ty:' Air : nobility, vital affinity, "sen sibility," sympathy, Sze, In all our investigations on this - subject we must not confound the forces, "ric . „- tions and 'phenorriena of life t with that of- physics. • " The records of medicine abound- with the grossest errors and superstition that have had their origin ;in fallacious views of the properties of life "—and the doctrine that alcohol " imparts strength " or "preserves life" is not the least. , By vital aotion the transformktion of food into organic structure is car ried on and worn out or poisonous matter is expelled from the system. Preiious_ articles ,hake shown that alcohol is • indigestible and in no way usable in ; the organic' domain. Vital resistance to non-usable sub stances is a law of vital action. This vital resistance to alcoholic poison is called "stimulation." Al cohol is said to " act on the living system," and temperance men the nest moment after affirming that cohol is,e - poison to - our organization which elieconcerts life's healthy move ments, ,claim like Horace Greeley, that it may be used by the physi cian "to remove pain, and preserve life." This is _the fallaci of temperance men, that ,tilcohol, an indigestible, inorganic poison, maT so act on the living system as to preserix life." The introduction of alcohol or other poisons into the vital domain may - occasion a condition of the'system ostensible •of pain and "preserve " dead'matter from decay; but thelaw of vital action affirms, that under any and all circumstances such use of alcohol is •a xhortening process. In conclusion we. invite and ,urge templrance men. •to examine this question. If alvohdl can "preserve life" it should 1)e accessible as all are liable be sick. People everywlere are' diseased, and "all that a man bath will he give for his life," hence the need'of life-preserving medicines. But if aleoliolis poison•and "stim nlation" a delusion, and_ the effect death—the law of vital action, the Jaw' of God, ,inherent in the living iystem is prohibition—temperance men are - called upon to seek its en forcement by', every means in their power.

Canton, Sept. 111;70. ODD.. WHAT A MOB OAR DO. =Although spiders are so ugly and so much disliked, there is (much about them to admire, and souk.- thim-children, we may well. imitate, to& When we examine a spider through - a microscope, we find there are some rare things for us to see. "We find, for instance, the greater part of him covered with rich soft hair. He has - eight bright eyes, brilliant and shining as diamonda Like all other insects, his ,eyes are immovable, and for this reason they are in different portions of the body -that he may see the better. He _has eight legs in all, joined like each of a lobster. " At the end of each' leg there are three crooked, movable claws, forming a sort of hand with two fingers and a thumb. For this reason, Solonaort . speaksof.the spider , as taking hold with his "hands." About the middle of his body is a very curious spinning machine. No human mechanic ever invented ant thing to compare with it. Connect ed with the machine there are four little bags -of thre4d—such little bags! ,In every bag there are over one thousand holes—such tiny holes I From each hole runs one - thread; and there being in the four bags four thousand holes, we have in 'all the same number of threads from this curious spinning machine. All these threads the spider spins to gstikr into one thiead, which, after - all, is so small that the - finest, silk thread Man ever made is kw; hundred times larger than it. Won- Aerful things then are these spiders. There is more skill displayed,. chil dren, in making them than in-the finest watch or sewing machine you ever saw. -E r The spider is a hard working lit tie ,creature. He is very industrious.- -The spider, as soon as he begins to live begins to, work... Every spider is a ; weaver and rigger, -and-, the young and old spiders are hard workers. Children, you never saw a spider that was reared in idleness. _Thenlignin he never does his work hurriedly or carelessly as many chil' dreu - do. Look at his web. See, how regularly the threads are drawn; how neatly the cross pieces are ' fastened to them,_and how securely it is held to the wall or the brush . The strongest wind may sweep by it, but it stands there still. As an example of industry, then, the spider is worthy of imitation. . Industry is a most honorable quality: It is becoming in all--those who oc cupy the lowest, as well as those who occury the highest station of life. When. God. made Adam. an 4 Eve, He put them in the garden of Eden, that they might have an op." portunity of dressing and keeping it. ge never intended that they should lead an idle life. For the same reason the angels have constant cm-. plo:ttpent in hpaven.—Exchaage. • _ WOMAN'S BPBBE. If .the human race is to be perpet- - uated—if generation is to follow generation as heretofore—if men and women are to marry, and children are to be born into. the world, it ,must continue to occupy woman's chief if not sole attention. If the human race is to be perpetuated, there must be children; and if chil dren, they must be. nursed and trained with tenderness and 'skill. There will always be sick people and , sick people will be required, to be - tended. There will be death beds, and death beds' require that some one should minister by them. It - will not seriously be proposed - that' such work should be-deputed to men while women aro released for more honorable occupations. The huinan race would fare badly "by that ex-- change. Woman map, be able to do man's work as .well as 'he can, but • he certainly cannot so well do . hers. - It would be- as unsuitable astunieem ly to have man's rougher, stronger hand dressing and undressing the tender infant form, while 'woman's Was engaged in wielding the - pen or sword. It would be no improvement on our present arrangements to have: the husband at home keeping the children quiet, putting thelittle ones - to bed, and divertink the elder while the wife was pleading at the bar or hartinguing the Senate.
