Thy rotigh, rude fortress gleams afar; '
Like some bold.veteran, gray in arms,
And marked with many a seamy scar."

-1 days, has a variety cf'synonyms.
'Rile in poetic phraseitis_known as
'dina, ineilden times it Tas - termed
en Edin, and in vulgar parlaneti -
Auld Reekie." Eminent as a seat
of learning, displaying many speci
mens of fine architecture, and fur
thermorn., the site of 'its Castle pre
senting, as it is said, a strong resem=
blarice to` the Acropolis with the Gre
cian city at its base; it is also" honor
ed with the appellation of the "Mod

lar usage throu,ghout Great-Britain,
it will. be found neces.saryl to pro
nouncei,ts more common name as if
spelled Edinboro'.
Arriving a its railway station from
Leith; by at Obscure 'passage' through
a succession of Onnels, we were quite
sutorrised on, passing up'a stairway . to
6.n4 ourselves all at once emerging I
info' the very midst of the city, in the
immediate p;oximity of its chief ho
-telo, and.of Sir Walter Scott's mopn
meta, in Princes' Street. This, one
of the most popular thoroughfares of
Edinburgh, runs nearly parallel with
~the valley. intervening betweeg the
Castle Hilt, With the old part id'f the
town, and its more modern western
portion. • The valley or: ravine, for
merly\ rough, damp and unsightly, is
now laid out with pleasant walks and
verdatt\ lawils, save where
_it affords
so convenient a transit for the rail
ways.
.
In its tasieful and elegant design
and e.7.ecutiott • and in its -general
effect, Scott's -Monument, 'before ie al
luded to, is probably unsurpassed in
the T.Tniteil taingdern. Itising to the

visiblc frain a great part of the city,
and at a 11 , ;stance 'inigt readily be
taken for that of. some agnifccent

cli - uich edifice. Its niches are adorn
ed with statues of some of Scott's
principal charactersi, and within is
that ofthe-celebrated author\ \ with
I . '
his favorite:dog Bevis, beside him. .
Several' finely 'constructed :Cani
ways or vreducts extend across *oak
Princes' Street 'to the Castle Hill,
which at the " George It. Hridge," is
c ascended as far as Canorigate Street
by a magnificent stairway of Stone;
sonic twenty feet in width. Along I
the side of the declivity may be seen 1
buildings of a greater number ofsto--
ries than probably any other Earo
peen city can boast. .
-The old Canong,ate, with its numer

along the brow of the .hill, sloping
gradually from the Castle towards the

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. It
is thus alluded to in the pages t of
" Marmion ": - -

"Vie A Li cularg'd r.nd Libcral ruiln.l"----
(as Blllin describes the city's inhabi
tants) even upon the most classic of
its •Classie linds, the • Canongate,
we.certainty had failed to mark out
any such ciVent in the programme of
our excursion. 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 . Scot
land's aristocracy of blood an& intel
lect, is now, in many portions,• the,
abode of the rliest'depressine., poverty
and ignorance. The ease, however,
is not nnfrequentin other ancient ci
ties. Streets and districts °nee fa
n:tali and brilliant, are now abandon
ed_ to the lowest order of Inhabitants:
Yet, the multitude-Of "Greeks "by
whom we here found otirselveS sur
rounded, served well enough in their
way to 'carry out the itlea,of a "Mod

atnused, quite as,much as annoyed
by surrounding circumstances, and
proceeding a little' way - farther, l our
next exploit was the' exploration in
part, of a-ruinous courtyard, whose
old archway was once the grand en
'trance of the. -White Horse Tavern.
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. Fi
nally an old S otchman, who had re
gairded the. btirly Doctor 'for some
Lime with 'fixed attention (unbroken
save by occa3ienal appeals to his snuff
bore), advanced 'towards Boswell and
placed a penny in Lis - hand. " For

' • By lie gradual deseent from Alio
-Castlell f we reached at length the
inins of olyrood 1 . Palace, situated
upon low I;p:ulnas at the outskirts of
'the city. Formerly the - abode of
-Scottish royalty, it now presents but
small, tokens oflormer magnificence.
The
. private apartt - ent, of: Mary
Queenof-.§cots is Hero - the principal
object
,of interest: l / 4 , with furniture,
couch.and tapestry, specimens of an
tiqne.and hided splendbr, all in the
'same condition, 'as far as possible, as
when last occupied by her. :The pro
fane touch of the relic hunter is, how
everi .guarded against by a cordon
enclosing these Toyahneinentoes. _
Thiongh an open door ; leading in-
I' to a smaller room, may •bo seen the
tragic spot whgre the Queen's Secre=
tury, .David,ltizzio, was assassinated
in the very presence Of, his royal reit
trr.ss—the stains of his blood being
still visible upon the flooi. 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. Tints Darn
ley, though a despirle ,iharacter,
has been spoken Of,' hyitery as of
fine personal appea rance; but his
representation here is wholly verdant
and vulgar, with har‘dly an attractive
or redeeming featore.
Near by •,is Calton Hill, an emi
nence of convenient access from the
city, of which itcomrcuulds a splen
did view, Imd.adorned witheonspacu
ous monuments Among these; bet
ter never begun than abandoned be
fore conipletion, would have been the
" Nelional Monument," 'intended. as
a memorial of the brave Scots whir
fell at Waterloo, ccintributing so Tr&
inntly to the success of ,the Allied
Army upon that famous field. Its
'style was to lave tx!'en 'that of the
celebrated Athenian Parthenon.
About one-third of a mile :distant,
rises "Arthur's Seat," prominent:amid
its neighbOring hills. Its ascent is
remarlablyTteep; while its summit,
822 feet above the level of the sea,
alrords,in clear weather a magnificent
piospect in 01 directions,-whether of
city, conntryte`ar sea. He who upon
a *arm summer's day undadAes the
ascent of this -remarkable ;Oak, may
be considered - as tolerably well quali
fied to respond to the poet's enquiry:
" Alt: who can tell bow hod it is to dirnb r

,of persevering' and as-:
siduous effort, three of our -party
(Miss Aritoipette Lawton, Henry L.
King and myself,) found ourselves
,upon its summit at 11 frfm. of the Bth
of July.
A path winding Along the less ar
duous declivity of a neighboring emi:
nence, amid these " Salisbury Crags,"
is rendered memorable and interest
ing by the fact of its having been the
favorite walk of Sir Walter Scott clue
ing his residence in Edinburgh, and
to which ho makes one'of
his Clikonicks of the Camongate.
" This th," said he, :" used to be
my favorite evening and morning re

SECRET OF BEING_ AitiAYs P./ST.—An
Italian' bishop having sfruggled
through great difficulties without
complaining, and met with much op
position in the discharge of his du
ties without having betrayed the least
impatience, an intimate friend, who .
highly admired his virtue, one day
asked - 4he prelate if he could tell him
the secret - of being alivays easy.
" 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. Thus I learn
where true happiness is placed, where
all our cares must end, and how very
little reason I have to . repine or com
plain."

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. Common courtesy
should - induced the reverend
gentlemen to ask his Methodist broth
er to take a part with him , in he (1. 1
' ercises, especially under 'the circt
t,Stances: But he did nothing of • 'e
ikind. Was he' afraid of being/ cen
sured by his bishop? or was-he fear
ful wit, his peawck plumaiwould be
soibtd and ruflied by contact with a'
Methodist? • .
Ales!; how low poor human nature
has fallen! What slaves men make
of themselves! 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! See how.
grand, how noble, and how magi:dil
-1 cent I appear!'" So says the Phari
see—" Stand aside! 1--fam holier than

sueltairs of self-itKimtanco 7 —nonrigh
a spirit of pride—when the Apostle
inquires; "Why lost thou set at
naught thy brother ? for we must all
stand before the , judgment-seat ,of
Christ."
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

Another instance still of sectarian,
bigotry and we will stop: Not long
since a little child had died in a neigh-
boring town. The neighbors came
together* the funeral ; and among
them was the Methodist clergymen

no notice whatever - was taken of hini'

"Our faith is forra, o4r.closuenco ianoise."
G. W. S.
That question is, , What win 'yeti do
with them? We do not discriminate
in favor of . boys .4e compared with
girls, nor raise the question of equal
ity of faculty. That is being rapidly
aid satisfactorily determineds in al
most every department of enterprise.
But the old problem of boy culture,
in this age of early and hurried de
velopment clamors for inimediate so
lntion. , There are several ways of
meeting it. •- •
One way is that of ignoring them.
They are only children. Time enough
by and by to consider their relations.
Let them have enough to eat, keep
their clothes mended, and= let them
grow.. "Where - are they ? How .
should I know ? I haven't time to
follOw up boys. " Boys willbeboys;
but it there is anything in them, they
will come out right at last. Of such
material are formed the clubs in our
cities,- whose 'limning occupiktion is
smoking, drinking, card-playing, and
reading demoralizing literature, while
the drift-wood of our Tillage popular
Hon . is replenished from it. -
- On the 'other hand, there is the
methiid of systematic. repression. The
old birch-rod used to . rest on two
nails oter 4.he fire-place ia.some fam"-
lies, as the emblem ,of authority; and
in the hand of a domestic
,despot, it
could bite like a fiery serpent. That
wfis the reign of terror, with mothers
,tn play tlie.part of Poeah9ntas, irgr-
I fe,ring. - to save broken' bones. lon
will find a stem of espoinage car
ried as - far in( some cases as to ascer
taln what is written' in Childish let
ters,, what has, been said. between
playmates, and all the trifling mina=
titc_of young life. The whole treat
ment, proceeds on thq supposition
that boys are bad. 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. Then the founda
tion of the future boy ie laid in
brown vermillion. There are no
features_ yet; but it , is a, boy's' face,

of black; and so on until 26 stones
Vivo been applied; and atlength the
eipression is brought out, the smile
lights up the face, and all the delica
cy of the.original is reproduced. So
with boy , culture. The character is ,
built up by the intelligent applica
tion bf,various influences, some .ap 7
parently. `untoward and •destructive
of beauty, but seen. by a mature eye
to be necessary.for complete and har
monious development. 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. They could
work under fire in the trenches, or
charge ca the batteries in the thick
est of the fight. • They had: genuine
delicacy and tenderness, as-,well as
stern resolution, keeping fresh the
image of mothers and sisters and
sweethearts,
.whose • -memeties were
their inspiration and their joy. They
- could waste in hospitals, poisoned
with the malaria of, swamps, or die
in silence on the -lonely battle-field;
The soil we tread on is, redolent (of
their memories. • The roses •are red
der for, the rich blood that' moistens
them, and the lilies :are whiter for
the beauty of spirit in which they
'suffered. Suck boys live still all over
this regenerated land. They.,carmot
have the stern discipline of war to
fit them for the work that looms 'be
