' Crime in ovtla
It is somewhere said by high authority,
, i that "vice to be hated, needs only to be
seen." Now with all due difference to the
opinions of this Author, I beg leave 'most
, respectfully to differ from him. The as
. scrtion may be made over and over again,
but the plain common sense of every man
who spends a moment in thinking upon
1 this subject, revolts at the idea. If this
, wore in any case true, the very vice of the
world would, in a short time, be its com
plete salvation ; for those who saw a ves
tige of vice in a companion would detest
and hate it, until all kinds of sinfulness
would be its own destruction.
It is, perhaps, doubtful, whether any man
, loves vice for itself ulonc, but it is certain
ly sure, that "evil communications corrupt
good manners." It is contagious. One
bad boy will mislead the majority of his
companions, One notorious man corrupts
the whole crew. I will grant that vice is
in itself hateful -that we naturally avoid
, any ihing disagreeable j but it is equally
true, that a familiarization with any person
or thing, weakens our disgust, and gradu.
. ally engenders a tolerance if not a liking.
. But I need not endeavor to povc these
points any farther, for the experience of ev
ery man and woman, establishes their truth
And now let us proceed to the point.
This is emphatically a reading age. Com
. non Schools and Steam presses have pla
ted the acquisition of knowledge within the
reach of every person. Newspapers and
books Hood the country, and whether good
or bad, aro sure of readers. Willi the
majority of young people both in the city
and country, works of fiction reign mi-
jtrcme. They huve ranged from the gilt
volumes of Coopor and Uulwer and Sue ,
to the shilling paper covers of Ingrahum
and Charles Paul lc Kock. There is of
ten in these works something to commend
but the idea of making a man or woman
virtuous by familiarizing hint or her with
vice, is rediculous. Does not every man
in his cooler moments condemn the loose
ness and liccntuousiiessofnio.it French no v
t'ls ! I speak to you, Fathers, Urothers and
Lovers, would you, in order to preserve a
daughter, a sister, a mistress, from a false
men, put into her hands the works of Chas.
Paul Do Kock ? Would you advise her to
read the Quaker City.' Would you, in line
Duller her to read any works of fiction, save
those which you could recommend lor their
purity; their charily of thought, or Ian
L-uage, of uetiliiii'-nl.

dy who would leave the room at an inticndo
will retire to hers, and glut and pant over
the licentious pages and pictures of a French
Novel. As 1 remarked in a former No, I
verily believe that our novels people our
prisons, and fill our houses of prostitution!
How long is it since in England, if my
memory serves mo right, the following con
fession, in substance, was made by a noto
rious robber and burglar. lie said that the
book entitled "Jack Sheppard.'' had first
led him astray. He read how that re
nowned scoundrel the hero of tho work,
had robbod, broke jail and escaped, and he
longed to imitato and if possible excel.
In a confession published some timo ago, a
Lady of high standing and respectable con
nexions, acknowledged the reading of a li.
ccntious book to have been her destruction.
Another laid her first wrong step, to her
reading of Don Juan. These are instan
ces among thousands that might bo given.
To this it may be answered that those
who aro so weak, so easily lead astray,
would have of themselves fallen. Even
in this caso, it is but another link in the
chain of evidence against crime in novels ;
for a virtuous work would have strengthen
ed that which was weak, whereas brcom
ing familiar with crime.reason left her post,
fancy and inclination took tho reins and
drove tho victim to destruction. Libertines,
robbers, knaves and Pirates have been con-
lituted the heroes of novels, and are as fa
miliar as household words. How many
boys after having read John B. Perry's
criminal works have not wished to be as re
nowned Pirates or robbers as LaFitto or
the Harps, Milton's Episode in " Paradise
ost" of sin and death proves my position
incontestibly. Even Satin himself, at lirsl
seems horrified at the sight of sin and death
but upon more acquaintance, enters into a
league with them.
Are the authors of these books them
selves men of pure morals ! If the heart
prompts the pen, what must be that ones
state, which is continually sending forth se
duction.robbery .assassination and murder ?
Would you teach your son reverence for
the Scripture by putting into his hands the
works of Hume or of Paine? Just as
soon as teach them virtue by sending them
to school to vice. "Turn your child loose

WHAT THK HEART OF THI YOUNG MAN SAID TO
THE PSALMIST.
Toll me not, in mournful numbers,
Lifo is but an empty dream !
For the soul is dead that stampers,
And things are not what they stem.
Life is real! Life is earnest
And the grave is not its goal,
Dust thou'art, to dust retumest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way i
But to act, that each to morrow
Find us farther than to-day.
Art is vain, and time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world's broad Acid ot battle,
In thy bivouc of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle !
lie a hero in the strife :
Trust no Future how'er pleasant,
Let the dead Past bury dead !
Act act in the living Present !
Hearts within, and Godo'erhead !
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Foutpriuts on the sand of time ;
Footprints' that perhaps another
Sailing o'er life's solemn, main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing shall take heart again.
Let ust then, be up and doing
With a heart fur any f.itn ;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
Woman.
Woman is like the rose which buds and blooms
on the parterre of lifo.
In the cradle, when a sweet bud, the fragrance
of affection (ills the atmosphere around and ubout
her.
When the prattle of infancy is hoard from her
lips, and her smiles irradiate the eyes of parental
affection the fragrance increases. As the bud de
velopes its beauties to the eye, and the knit
limlis allow her to fly about the domestic circle,
the joy of her parents is ecstatic. There follows
the developeiuent of heart, linking the hud to the
bosoms whence wells maternal atle.ction.
Mind quickly developes its energies, and the
heavenly spark which animates the mortal frame
adds new charms to the cherished object ol af
fection. The tide of life flows on, and in its spring new
beauties cluster around the loved one, and in a
few summers more she is seen at the alter pledg
ing har affections to one whose manly worth has
won her pure and guileless heart.
Tho early hearth is left but not forsuken, for
maternal love has matured her affection not sim
ply for the poor return which many an earthly
flower yields for anxious care.
llur heart is imbued with nature which refu
ses to live without that pure atmosphere which
so far has warmed her being, and caused liar la
tent beauties to expand and attract the adiniia
lionofthe manly youth, who claims her for his
bride.
Her wealth is a guileless and confiding heart,
and the gentle current, whose unrollleil hunks
.she has hitherto culled the sweetest flowers,
glides still by her feet without a murmur.
Her happinons is complete, for religious faith il
lumes the present and gilds the future, while
memory review s Ihe past without a paw; from du
ties neglected or affections not acknowledged.
Youth and beauty attend her steps all h''r
days are plea.nit, while peaceful contentment
makes her heart exult as Hope in the vi.-u beck
ons her on to joys in scenes yet to he tcali.ml.
But such happine", like all things which par
take of earth, is subject to the stroke of death.
Ton often in this world, they sn in, like the
flowers of Nature, which deliiiht tho eye, to
be more subject to the scythe of the Destroyer.
If the admiring eye of Nature's sweetest tlower
could shield from harm Ihe full-hlown rose, ils
leaves would never wither, its fragrance never
die.

The End of the WirM.Vfe alluded in our
last paper to the death by shooting, of Walter
Maythe, in an allair at Cincinnati. Tha whole
Maythe family have long been known in the
West as desperadoes and outlaws. The whole
family, mule and female, wera of the most aban
doned character. They knew no restraint, and
follow td no guide, but their own depraved ap
petites and outrageously wicked propensities.
Taking those as their guide, they regarded soci
ety in I its members us lawful prey. The long
catalogue of their crimes embraced those of tha
deepest dye.
But fearful indeed has been tha retribution that
has falleu upon the whole family. With one ex
ception the family is now extinct. But not one
has died a natural death. They lived by violence
and by violence they died. Tha two sister died
a most miserable death in a hospital at Mobile.
Smith Maythe was taken from the jail of
Grant county Kentucky, and hung by a mob.
Seott Maythe was arrested among a gangnl coun
terfeiters on tha Mississippi river, and tied neck
and heels with a companion and oast into the
river and drowned. How Walter Maythe came
to his death we have already stated. There is
but one member of the family living, and he is,
we are informed, an inmate of the.penitcntiary at
this time. What a lesson does the history of this
family contain ! What a fearful warning in their
horrible late. Dayton Trumcript.

destroying caterpillars, which was acciden

ener near Glasgow. A piece of woollen
rag had been blown by the wind into a cur

to be covered by the leaf-devouring insects.
Taking the hint, he immediately placed
pieces of woollen cloth in every bush in
his garden, and found the next day that the
caterpillars had universally taken to them
for shelter.' In this way he destroys many
thousands every morning.

soon forget an adventure with one of them, many
years ago, on the frontiers of Missouri, Hiding
miar the prairie border, I perceived one of the
largest and fiercest of the gray species, which
had jut decended from the west, and seemed
famished to desperation, I at once prepared for
a chase, and being without arms, I caught up a
cudgel, when 1 betook me valiantly to the charge,
much stronger, I soon discovered, in my cause
than in my equipment.
The wolf was in no humor to flee, however,
but boldly met ma full half-way. 1 was soon dis
armed, for my club broke upon the animal's head.
He then 'laid lo my horse's legs, which, hot rel
ishing the conflict, gave a plunge, and sold me
whirling over his head, and made his escape,
leaving me and tha woll t close quarters. 1 was
no sooner upon lay feet than my antagonist re
newed the charge ; but being without weapons,
or any means of awakening an emotion of terror,
save through his imagination, I took off my large
black hat, and using it fur a shield, began to
thurst it towards his gaping jaws. My ruse had
the desired effect ; for after springing at me a
few times, he wheeled about, and trotted off sev
eral paces, and stopped to gaze at me. Being
apprehensive that he might change his mind and
roturn to the attaak, and conscious that, under
tha compromise, I had the best of tha bargain, I
very resolutely took to my heels, glad of the op

To be silent, is better than to speak foolishly.
To know when to keep silence, is as good fre

The CharacUr of .turon tturr.
liv wm. Wallace,
If niennerhasset had been the only per
son ruined by Uurr, in the prosecution of
his enterprises, charity would suggest a bu
rial of our remembrance of the exile'a des
olation. Hut the victims of Uurr aro to La
numbered by hundreds. The base and
the peaks of society alike show the scath
ing marks of his fiery visitation.
He cherished no friendship lie re
turned unlionored the drafts of gratitude ;
he kindled by the fireside of hospitality
the flame of lust, and felt little pleasure in
bidding adieu to the Lares of his boast, un
til the dearest that flourished in their shad,
dows were sacrificed. The man's whole
being entered on the pivot of selfishness.
Hut for the affection he manifested towards
his daughter, his sole moral merits seem
to have been courage and coolness: and
yet clustering as were the laurels which
they wedded to his brow his baser pas
sions so predominated that he held it more
glorious to seduce a womant than lo glitter
in the field of letters, to scale the steps of
philosophy, or to wave a banner victori
ously in battle.
He courted a man to corrupt his wife
the statesman to profit by his influence
the millionare to obtain his money and
the world to gratify his desires. He was
the more dangerous from the possession of
an intellect, massive, piercing, brilliant,
united to a frame at once handsome and
vigorous. His mind was but the keen and
restless weapon with which his passions
hewed a way lo conquest. That weapon
was l'rotcan. Hut few could escape iu
ever changing attack. If the victim came
fully under the gszo of an eye whose
sharp light resembled listening imnrision-
cd and forever playing in a cloud as black
as night ho was lost, Hurr's conversation
was irresistibly fascinating his hand
swept over every chord of tho human heart.
He strewed the rosy path of the happy
with flowers of still brighter hue; he
arched the troubled sky of the desponding
with the rainbow of hope ; he conjured up
before the wrapt visions of the avaricious,
mountains of gold; and to the aspiring, h
pointed out the shadowy vistas of glory-Thus
he stood, gifted, unprincipled,
ruthles and terrible. The want of fortune
alone prevented his presenting in one lu
rid, dreadful and overwhelming mass, that
evil which he accomplished but ton suc
cessfully in many details, ('hance con
fined to valleys, comparatively humble a
tempest, which only wailed for a releasu
to devastate continents.
It may be asked : "Is not his valor on
the battle field of his country lo be remem
bered?" The answer must be, "Yes I"
That was a redeeming trait. IS'o matter
from what motive his military talents were
exercised, our land reaped some benefit.
Hut there are many persons who will doubt
the real patriotism of one who was ready
lo forswear his aJlegianceJ who trampled
on so much that was sacred, and who held
even his exploits against tyrranuy as less
glorious than the moral destruction of a hu
man being. f
Age is expected to subdue ; but with
Uurr the winter of time brought no snows
to cool the lava of passion. At four score
and six, the crater wore a glow as anient
as at twenty. His faculties mocked at n
century. Age should bring the soothing
calm of religion, to enable the barque
which has been tossed by the storms of life,
to prepare for a worthy entrance into the
sea of another world. Uurr died as he lived
practically an atheist. Age should bring
respect : Uurr died as he lived, without
Ihe respect of the good. II is hoary hairs
