Our little,American party, number ing two ladies, three gentlemen and a child, took its leisurely . way, .one pleasant morning, from the , Castle along the pavement of the old Can, ongate, in which we had occasion to notice the "-Heart of Midlothian," of white stone, marking the locality of the old " Tolbooth," or City Prison. At the aide bf the thoroughfare are the fit:thins of the ancient "Croix of Edinbugh," some 700. years old.

Two separate sorties for the relief of our beleaguered par ty were made .by policemen, before the annoyance Seemed in any_degree lessened. This famous old. 'Street, abounding in reminiscences Of .

Here it was that the celebrated pr. Johnson tarried, when on his tour through 'Scotland, with his trusty squire, Boswell. As an incident of. lithe occasion, it is Stated that the wor thy Doctor, being somewhat fatigued with the equestrian travel of the day, callM, soon after his arrival,' for a bowl of punch. The beverage was soon produced, but not -being mixed ' to his taste, -he ordered some sugar; and. a dirty calkult brought a lump and popped it in with his fingers. -Whereupon, the incensed . , traveler seized the bowl and pitched it, punch and all, through the open window: This " literary giant," as ho has been termed (being of great physical as well As intellectual calibre)„ while famous-in many' respects, was never celebrated for any speciAl predilection rin favor of Scotland or the Scots. In I regard .to the Latter, perhaps his most favorable observation on record, was to the effect that "something might be made of a Scotchtuan, provided he were caught - ,youn . g." 'Ancl judging from the' following incident, related as occurring on, his Scottish"' Tour, it might be naferred that there was "but little lov lost 's on either sido: At some Point n their journey (since my own. expo ence there I should judge it to ha been in the Ca,non gate)). the two 'nglish. traveler?; were, it:•seems ; surro ended by a motley and hiquiSitive thr ng of lookers on.

In the non roofless choir of the , Cathedral, we s:ockl upon the place where the. marria,gj of the ' unfortunate Mary with the undeserving - and ill-fated Darnley was celebrated. We also passed through a tong gallery of por traits, purporting tech° those of the Scottish sovereigns froin a remote per riod, all executed apparently at the same time,: however, and by the semi hand; furthermore, in so pair a style, that, in the opinion of some, the l exe, cation .of the "artist hinifielf. /should have occurred soon after.

" Yes,', l --replied he, ." I can teach you my secret, and will do so very readily. It consists in nothing more than making great use of my eyes." His friend begged him to explain. " Most willingly," said the Bishop: " In whatever state I am, I first of al; look up' to heaven, and remember that my principal business here is to get there. I then look down upon the earth, and call_to mind . the space I shall shortly ocenpyln it. I then look abroad into the world, and ob serve what Multitudes there are who in all respects have more cause to be' unhappy than myself.

Religion knows no distinctions among its votaries,—there is, or should be, no gradations of "place or power ; all are on an equality; for all are brethren. , • When the Saviour's first disciples were contending among themselves who should be greatest, to quiet and put away this contentious spirit, the Master called to him a little child and.placed hizn in the midst and said to them, " Except ye be converted and beceme - iis a little child ie can in no case enter into the kingdom of Heaven." Little •ebildren are,. or may be, our teachers in many things. They are gentle, truthfrii,l confiding and, unassuming. One never sets himself above his fellows-+all things are common to them—all are on an equality. • So it should ever be among the children of our common rather—the disciples of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. - Here all are brethren. Hoke-, how often are we admonished—" Be gen tle, be courteous l--be kindly .affection-, ed, one to anothek, with brotherly love; 'in honor preferring one moth-. er." In Christ Jesus there is neither male nor female, bond nor free; Jew nor Gentile, Baptist, Methodist, Pres byterian;- nor any other name nor sect; all are ono in their common Lord, and all have the same privi leges, and all are destinedto the same glorious and immortal inheritance. We have_been led into these reflec tions, Mr. Editor, by some things that have recently licen taking. place, in the world around us. In this nine teenth century with 'all its privileges, and especially in this land of freedom and:of- equal rightS, we ought as la people to be ffu• in advance of others and placed, as -it were, on an emi nence as their guide and eamplo. But lags! Mr. Editor, we - have yet -to learn the first principles of cliyis tian charity. • Not long since, Rev. Mr. Cheeny, of Chicago,-went on a visit to Cali fornia. 1 . 1. - hile there, it seems that by invitation he pteach4d lin a Pres byterian Pulpit, and no'W his bishop calls him to account and threatens him with the censures of the church. But what,: law of - God - has air. Cheeny violated? None at all. Ho was only carrying out abd fulfilling the commission of his ascended Lord, ".Go ye into all the world and preach the g t ospel' to every. creature." But perhaps the good bishop imagines that as California is so far away; b er yond the Rocky Mountains, it is not Included in .the Divine commission, and hence ho presumes to put: him self in, the place of God and calls his brother to account: ' , Another instance of a similar kind recently took place 'in our own coun- • tv A revival of- 'religion was in .pro gress among the Methodists. An Episcopalian minister,it seems, had oemsional appointments at the Meth-'odist church. 'hiring the. revival spoken of, one of these appointments fell due. The reverend gentian= made his app earance in due season. As he came in he found 'a Prayer meeting in progress, condticted the pastor the Methodist church. The meeting was suspended to Eden to the sermon.

What pains they take to bind themselves in the chains bf an effete,Vorn-out oligarchy, and to foster s, spirit of pride arnoelf-im portance, which, if carried out, would take the Bible from our schools and rob man of his dearest rights. If there is anything on earth, Mr. Editor, that we pity and despise, it is a Pharisee; and there is nothing to which we can so fitly compare him as to a peacock—that vain. and silly bird,good.for nothing . but to dis play himself and make a .nbise. Look at him,' Mr. Editor, some fine day when the morning San tempts him q• spread his gaudy Plmnes of azure, green and gold. Mark hoW ,he steps along with slow and measured tread, as if the sound of solemn music was' in his car! His language seems to by—" Ye meaner birds, give place! Stand aside and look at me!

Another instance still we- have I to give of a wabt of christian courtesy : In a neighbo#ng township, 'not ltkng since there was a funeral at which an, Q.S. Baptist officiated. •Two wor thy ( Methodist clergymen were , pres ent, of whom , no notice'whatever was taken by ' the officiating minister. Perhaps he thought, they were, not of the elect Another instance still of sectarian, bigotry and we will stop: Not long since a little child had died in a neigh- boring town.

The result is= n deep-seated alienation , of father and son, and .a virtual life-mparation: Treating boys, as bpi makes them so. -Then there is the way pf using' them as servants. There is a theory that a boy is old enough to earn his living at seven years of age. Of course, he can be made to work for only his board and clothes till be 'is 21, and that will save a hand in the business. The word " boy " is synonymous with "servants." in many minds. The more boYi the, more money. It is profitable to ri - 4Se them. The only point is, they must be smart. A good.boyis one that will 'do as much as a man. The lazy- fellow, with a book in his haitd all 'the time, :will never come to anything. - Lastly, there. is the plan of making the most of them by a wise and geu- Brous culture, adapted to 'indiviilual p,e - culiarities. Boys;must be studied singly. - Each hmi right to be treat ed justly,-and allowed to 'develop ac cording to - his:' , -natural.bent. The building up of a complete boy callS for the moral artist, with an earliest spirit and a lofty ideal; and it- will` be only , by degrees, and probably af ter many4iscourag,ements, that, the work will be' accomplished. It may be compared. to the, process of chro mo-lithography. 'Take for yetir_ideal Whittier 's "Barefoot 'Boy," as -the griiphic words of the poet bring the little fellow before the eye of the-im : - "Blessings oa thee, little man, Barefoot boy with. Oho& of tan, With"thy turned-up pantaloons, And tby merry whistled tunes." Nowlor the picture. Therois fast the sketch on the stone, made , of soap and lampblaCk.

So with boy , culture.

In this way the man crows fip in the boy f and the boy ? lives afterward in the.man. There is good material for such patient, careful culture iti• tmerican boys: Their stuff has been tested. The war has shown what there is in 'our boys.. It was not the' officers that made our army, .as in the old countries of Europe; but the boys who grew to 'Sudden manhood amid the roar of artillery. They could Wear out shoes in the :march; and 'then march on without them .in un coleplaining heroism.
