; Mr. Editor. —Once more we are it the par

.ought to have done it; we found per there ;
and—but, I will say nothing on that head
no#; perhaps, at some future time, I may, de
scribe the lady,.and give you the theory upon
which I account for the fact that the parson
caught only half as many trout : as I did. I
noticed whenever in our fishing wa jeame near
{he, house, he had an errand there. [The school

or in the school. Maybe the parsoq didn’t see
her, and, maybe ho did. But we will fori the
present, leave the lady, as we found her, in the!
edge of the wilderness,
; “teaching the young idea how to shoot” 1
! 1 haye not told you much about the parson ;
ho is a character, I can assure you'; a full pat-!

but as to that which is the essen

■agree withs Pope when be says,
i “the mind’s the measure of the m:.n,” 1
‘unless the. word “mind” be used;in.the most
comprehensive sense, as inciting all there is of
(the man besides the body. If, by, “mind," iif
‘that line of Pope’s, we are to understand the
.intellectual powers and nothing more, I ■syoultl
■join issue with the poet, ' ; I
It requires something more .than a massive
; intellect in a body, (whether great or small,)
constitute! a “man.” There are thousands of
: nianA-iiid who are not “men." ■ The “complete
■ man” is one in whom the physical the intellect-
Dual, and the moral natures are properly anl
proportionally developed. ■ ; I
Carlyle says of Goethe, “a giant’s strength
we admired in him; fqt strength ennobled inn)
softest mildness, ever like that l' j
“silent rock-bound Strength of d world,” |
on whose bosom, whiohsj-esta qjn the adamant,

the bravest; fearless, unwearied, peacefully ia

sensibility, the wild enthusiasm of ,a Mignol,
can assort with the scornful world-mockery Sf
Mephistopheles; and each side of a many-sidai
life receives ite due from him.” Take this pic
ture of the great German poet, from the pencil
of England’s great essayist, and animate it with
the spirit of the “divine man Jesus,” and yep
will have the true representation of a “complete

since Adam lost paradise for himself and hb

I “THE pAhSON's BUEI.-FIGIIT."
| Bull baiting is a species cf sport which we
fhad always supposed was confined to the Old
World, and to the hot blooded portion of our
E~ wn land. In Spain And Portugal it is no un
ommon thing for eclesiastlcs to mingle with
Jtbe crowds tbat throng the ampitlieatre where
Jm|vn and brate engage in b body strife ; but, I
fbelieve, even in these countries’whsn the sport
|is recognized, no “eclesiastic” here enters the
ring, ; to contefidj with the bnl) for the mastery.
The scene of our story of bull-fight is not
laid on the banks of the Tagus,-or in the sunny
vales, through which winds the Gandalquivcr,
but in the colder clime of r ‘*Northern Pennsyl
vania,” in the quiet vale whose verdant plains
are watered by tjhe (sometimes) pellucid waters

with his oaken cudgel reared aloft he awaited

lunge, to bring down that heavy handspike
with all his forte of muscle, upon the horns.
The bdil plunged with a biileous wail; the par-'
eon let; fly with his double-handed blow, but
missed, the bull and, byjtlie force of bis own
blow, threw himself.- In ah instant the bull
wheeled and made a lunge at his now prostrate
foe; the paraon saw both liorns of that dilemma
and thought that he should have to take them
both; |>ut the bull had miscalculated the dis
tance and failed to 'strike him; 'a second lunge
was inode; that time so inear to the parson’s as
to lift him upon his feet without hurting him;
he retained his cudgel, laqd stood once more

thoroughly roused animal and with such’vigor
that the brute turned tail and made for the gap
in the fence, with the parson following him
with impressive hints asi to the futility of a
contest with a “parson ini the right." *
This story was soon noised around, and soma
time afterin adistant part of the country, a
man who was angered- by the parson’s course
in a certain matter, consulted a lawyer and de
sired him to commence an action. The lawyer
heard the manfa story, then asked is it Mr. C.,
the preacher at Weiishbro against whom yen
wish to bring suit ? The reply was in the affir
mative, and the lawyer responded, “my friend,
I have heard of that man; he once had a fight
with a bull and be whipped; I advise you to
let him alone. 1’ The. advice was 1 followed, and
the bull-whipping parson;, escaped that suit.

HISTORICAL PACTS.
The tardiness _ with which mankind adopt
improvements be, in some degree illus
trated by the following facts, hastily thrown
together: ,; ~ •- 1 .
Canal looks were invented in 1581, by en
gineer© of Viterbo, in Italy. TheySwere nearly
a hundred years getting fairly into ,n?e in-
France, and about 150 years in .crossing the
British Channel. >
At this time it was made felony, in several
European States, to ride in wheel carriages. ’
The steam engine was invented, or, rather
the principles of it discovered by Marquis of
Winchester, as early as 1600. Few understood
and none enconraged if. The honor was after
wards engrossed by Savary.
In 1786, John Fitch navigated a skiff steam
boat at Philadelphia; and in 1787, a steamboat
fijty-five fest long at the same place; in 1788,
a steamboat sixty feet long, and 1799, another
steamboat as a regular passage and packet boat
between Philadelphia, Burlington; Trenton,
Wilmington and Chester,for several weeks, ad
vertising the trips regularly, and running three
thousand miles that summer. In 1787, James
Ramsey navigated a steamboat at Sheppords
town, Virginia, and in 1793, on the Thames,'
England. Miller’s, Symington’s, and Taylor’s
was navigated on the Clyde, Scotland,'Decem
ber, 1788. Sumujsl Morley navigated a steam
boat on the Delaware in 1789, and John Cox
Stevens, at Hoboken; in 1804' Eighteen steam
boats hod been built and navigated in America
and England before Robert Fulton’s time,;
In 1807, when Robert Pulton was fitting up
bis first steamboat at New York, respectable
and men pronounced him a./Tfool
fur his pains." ’ • c
Oliver Evans went before committees of Le
gislatures, first in Pennsylvania, and then
Maryland, with a project of a steam carriage,
as early as 1804. He asked a little aid tVae
fray the expense. They could hardly be pre
vented from reporting in favor, .not of steam'
carriages, but of a straight-jacket-for himself.
Now, almost all-nations, have the sagacity and
ingenuity to seize and utilize the precious
idea. ■
When Peter the Great, in 1760, or therea
bouts, commenced a canal between the Volga
and the Don, the Governors and'Boyards of the
country opposed it earnestly,'thin king it impi
ety to turn rivers out of the channels which
Heaven had asbigned bent. •
When some Dutchmen proposed to make the
river slanzanaies navigable to the Tagus, and
that to Lisbon, the Council said if it had been
the will of God that therivors should be navi
gable He woul|l have grade them so.
When Brin! ey, the peat engineer, told a
cumniltcq of the Parliament, towhom Bridge
water's petiticn was referred,, that canals were
than ritorvand would supercede them
for the purpose of navigation, the committee
were shocked, land asked him, '‘And pray, sir,
what were .the river’s made for ?” “To feed
the canals,” wins the answer.
Dr. Franklin surveyed the route of the Dela
ware and Chesapeake Canal at his own expense,
in 1757. 1.
Baron Napier surveyed the route of the
Fourth and Clyde Canal at his own expense,
in 1701. .1 ' 1
Both of these works were subsequently ac- (
complished, but after great delay. ■
Dr. Zabdiel Boyalston introduced inocula
tion for the small pox in Boston, in 1721, and
tried it first on his own son Thomas, andiother
members of the family; hut such was the; force
of prejudice and unbelief that the other phy
sicians gave a unanimous opinion against it,
the municipal -government prohibited itpprac
tioe, and the mob would have torn him to pieces
if he had not retired from the city.
I EULOGY.
HE. LINCOLN ON HENRY CLAY.
The following extract from Abraham Lin
coln’s eulogy in the death of Henry Clay, is
is a touching ; tribute to the memory of that ■
great man; '
“On the 4tl day of July, 1776, the people of l
a few feeble'and oppressed colonies of Great
Britain, inhat iting a portion of the Atlantic
coast.of Nortl America, publicly declared their
National Indi pendence, and made their appeal*
to the their cause, and to the God of
battles, for tin- maintenance of that declaration.
That people were few in numbers, and without
resources, savje only their -Oviso heads and stout
hearts. Will in the first year of that declared
independence^and while its maintenance was'
yet problematic—while the bloody struggle be
tween these resolute rebels and their haughty
would-be masters was still waging—of undis
tinguished parents, and in an'obscnre district
of one of thoqo colonies, Henry Clay was born.
The infant najtion and the infant child began
the race together. For three-quarters of a
century theyj have traveled hand in hand.
They have been companions ever. The nation
has passed ijts peril, and 1 is free, prosperous,
and powerful; The child has reached his man
hood, his middle age, hia old age, and is dead.
In all that ha* concerned the nation the man
ever sympathised, and now the nation mourns
for the man. ■
"But do wo realize that Henry. Clay is dead ?
Who can resize that never again that majestic
form shall rse in the council-chamber of his
country, to heat back the storms of anarchy
which may, tprealen, or pour the oil of peace
upon the trohhled billows as they rage and
menace around ? Who can realize that the
workings of that mighty mind have ceased—
that the throbbings of that gallant heart are
stilled—that the mighty sweep of that graceful
arm will be felt no more, and the magic-faf that
eloquent tonglue, which spake as spake no other
t tongue besides, is hushed.—hushed forever?
Who can realize that freedom’s champion—the
champion of a civilized world, and of all
j tongues amllkindreds, and people, has indeed
i fallen ? Aluk! in those dark hours of peril
1 and dread which our land has experienced, and
■ which she mily ha called to experience again—
I to whom now niay her people look ap for that
i counsel and jidyice, which only wisdom and ex
perionce and; .patriotism can give, and which
j only the undoubted confidence of a nation will
