THE ÜBIQUITY OP THE AMERICAN P S.
The fact . that every village thAliout
the United States, containing tetx tw hun
'dred people, can boast Oftl
, N paper of
its own,. has had the 'erect of itiVeloping a
our
vast deal of 'native talent, of which
country may well be proud; besides ano
ther portion, perhaps quite as large, ,of
which she may not be proud. Literature,
in the embodiment, .has. grown into a fat
monster, very much like that we arc told
Hof in classic fable, 'as having infected the
swamps Of Aetna i Clip off one of its
heads, and two more instantly dart from
the bleeding - trunk.. - :Whether there be a
Herculeus in the womb of the Future, to
slay this "sarpint," is not for, us to deter
mine. We give it, as our private opinion,
that killing is not- a necessary cure in the
present ease.
Andrew Jackson Davis, the Poughkeep
sie Seer, in his quaint book on Creation,
tells us of a grand cycle in the history of
the world, long, long before the Human
Period, when chaotic gases steaming up,
' through rocky rifts;from the volcanic cen
tre of the globe, formed themselves into
huge and horrible Monsters, that lived and
moved in a craggy wilderness, whose
piled caverns never echoed the sweet voice
of birds. As the solemn progress of Time
went 'on ay silence, these uncouth out-births
of the Animal Kingdoth bec'ome smaller
by degrees and more compact and nimble,
while their ungainly excrescences dwindle
down into proportions of graceful symmet
ry. As it was in the dim epoch painted
by, this visionary, so we venture to hope it
may be with our monster of American
Newspaper literature. The warming sun
light of imiversal education is fast shed
ding a revivifying splendor in every moun
tain-glen and valley—on every prairie and
broad, green country-side. The mighty
dead, whose thoughts have been immor
talized in classic volumes, are speaking
now to earnest minds in cottages, where
dwell the sons of toil, as well as those who
live in the pillared halls of marble. It
dOeS not require the gift of prophecy to
predict the effect of this in another quarter
of a century. Our intellectual dainties
will then . be more flavored with Attic salt.
Ignorance, and the ghost of murdered
English, will not then strive so hard for
mastery—for n milder power will have
baptized the brains of our legion of scrib
blers.
• But there is a mist, whose - drowsy cur.
tains hang around our literature, that the
genial beams or education may not dispel.
We speak of a tendency on the part of
young writers to plagiarize . --we say
young writers, for those who are afflicted
with this propensity never get to be old

There is in use a deal of second-hand
verbiage it would "do us glad" to sweep
into the muddy waves of Utile. It is an
egregious orror this, into. which the un

of others, forgetful that when we say what
has been already often said, we are say
ing nothing ourselves, but simply playing
echo. There aro verbal felicities that be
come anti-musical by repetition. The
sunny and fanciful genius does not re
quire the worn-out holiday attire of other
minds wherewithal to clothe its own beau
tiful creations; nor do men of earnest
thought need other than natural tangling°
to persuade and convince.
• To the young aspirant for literary hon
ors, could we summon courage to give ad
vice where it is least likely to be received,
we would say, it ie bettor to abandon your
unwise pursuit, unless there is a power
that compels you to write; not for fame,
or any desirable reward. If You are'so

ture's patent of royalty, there is indeed but
little encouragovent at best; A few words
of praise—a votive lay, *hose every note
is false—a fading garland woven around
aching temples ;—these may be bOught
with gold, if the buyer be so lucky as to
have gold. ,
For the anointed of heaven-born genius
there is a brighter lot. The hire of his
labor can never be paid in the coin of this
world, were the niggardly world ever so
liberal. Ho shuts up his strong yearn
ings within his own breast, and is deeply,
beautifully bumble in the faith that he is a
prophet of good to others. In that is his
boon of gladness;nor does he deem it a mean
reward. Nerved by this enduring trust
to brave the bitter blasts of poverty, and
the venom-bite of the mud-worm he dis
dains ; ho toils assiduously in sickness, in
health, in the cheerful noon of life, and in
the awful shadow of the grave. He scat
ters sheet after sheet from beneath his fin
gers, and keeps his painful vigils night af
ter night, until the taper flickers in the
socket—and life is ended.
And others read his pages when he is
gone, and grow earnest too, because he
was earnest. The fluff= comes from his
.plough at evening, and gathdring his little
boy in his arms, together they turn the
leaves until the spirit of the departed
grows mighty in the breasts of the living.
The farmer dies—calmly as the virtuous
ever die.--but his-blessing remains with
his son, whose soul burns with the thoughts
of the author until his voico is heard in
manhood, and others grow better because
he lives.
Thus it is that the weary laborer is grab
ified, and the world is brightened, because
the man of genius was true to his high
impulses.
But this art'ele has unconsciously
grown too long by several paragraphs, and
we have incontinently strayed from the
road on which we started.
CLLAUFIELD, March, 1850.
HUNGARY-CLOSE OF THE WAR.
The New York Tribune translates the
following account of the last events of the
Hungarian war from a statement of Kos
suth, published in London, and translated
from the Hungarian language into Ger
man:
"An aristocratic coterie was formed in
the camp, secretly conducted by Gorgey.
The plan began to be known to the Gov
ernment. This was the true state of things
after the
. victories of Izsasscgh, Waitzert
and Sazlo. At that time Kossuth consid
ered Hungary strong enough to conquer
I the Russians, or at least to protract the
war until an honorable peace could he se
cured to HunmAry by the intervention of
European diplomacy. Gorgey only knew
how to gain a victory, but not to make use
of it. The siege of Comorn might have
been a second battle of Marengo, if Gor
gey had followed up the enemy with the
Gaspar corps, which he permitted to be
entirely idle. The General was then so
popular, that Kossuth hesitated to remove
him from the supreme command ; mean
tiino he named him for Minister of War,
and transferred the command to Damjair
icb. But Gorgey delayed his departure
from the camp, by all manner of preten
ces, until thectipproach of the Russians.—
On the arrival of the first Russian corps
the idea of treating with them was spread
abroad by the friends of Gorgey.
The Russian intervention found Hun- ,
igary fully equipped, and stronger to meet ,
the Austrian Russian army than it had
been-aff ° ainst Austria alone. An arrny of
141,000 troops of . the • -line, fortresses in,
the best condition and well prOvisiontld,'
new battalions to reinforce the regiments,
a reserved force of 10 regiments:of cava
'ry all complete,'manufactures of arms an
powder in full • netivitY, innumerable hos-i
pitals-,--these were the resources of Hun
' fury. With those . there were ; 140,000
Russians, 80,000 Austrians, and 40,000
Jellachich's men to be conquered. It was
a plan to beat the hostile corps one after
another. Kossatkagreed with Gorgey to
let the Russians enter without giving them
battle, to beat the Austrians and march to
Vienna. In case of defeat, the war must
be transferred to Gallacia, and if there was
any loss on this side, an incursion was to
be madc'through Sfeyermar into Italy, re-'
turning with the Italians and Hungarians
who served in Radetzky's army into Aus
tria This plan was . *approVed by Gor
gey, but completely 'frustrated by hiM in,

The Canso of Early Decay in American
Woman's power to please, and the
dread of het disapprobation, holds our sex
in such absolute subjection, that the men
ior is too often merged into the lover,
and even whilst fascinated by her
once, and trying to silence our hearts for
our dereliction, her fragile form is bending,H
under those unchangeable and inexorable
laws to whose teachings we have failed to
direct her, and the grave receives at once
the object of our love, and the evidence of
our neglect of a duty, more sacred than
any other enjoined upon us by the Creator.
Yes ;—Man should be the teacher of wo
man ; he enjoys the privilege to guide her
steps aright ; his is the strong arm and the
judging head; hers' it, is to illuminate the'
path with the sunlight of her smile, to
gladden his ear with the music of her voice '
and to cheer him with the blest and refi
ning influence of her presence.
We do not believe it was the design of
the Creator to invest her with the sterner
attributes of a Newton or La Place, a
Washington or a Shakspeare. It is glory
enough for her to have nourished the phil-!
osopher with her blood, to, have planted
the seeds of virtue in his heart, mid led his
steps to an age when he becomes her pro
tector and the fulfiller of his destiny. In
thus expressing ourselves, shall we lie told
by some miscalled reformers, that we de
grade the position of women ? Who was
the mother of the philosophers, heroes and
poets who have she'd lustre upon past ages?
They neither discovered the laws of mo
tion of a universe; upheld expiring liberty,
nor impressed the living page with the in
most emotions of the soul, they fulfilled
their destiny: let us hot forget ours.
If it were not for the present wretched
state ofthei r moral and ! physical education,
Lind the too early development of their pas
sions, or that miserable spirit that presides
over the hearts and money bags of too ma
il), of our Species, our children might start
on the race of life with ..•far better pros
pects of reaching its natural termination :
marriage would not be contracted before
the age of reason, with that absolute sel
fishness that now governs them. Scro
fula would not mate with . scrofula, insu
ring consumption to a line of diseased off
spring. Insanity would not seek the altar
as it certain introduction to the madhouse.
Gout would not bequath his aching toes
and crutches to a line of cripples.
These things have been called by wor
thy people, "the mysterious dispensation
of Providence." But the nineteenth cen
tury, with her tables of statistics, and her
flood of physiological light, will no longer
permit us to soothe our consciences with
such a delightful plaster for sins against
light and knowledge. The sins of the
parent are indeed visited on the third gen
eration of diet - A that know the right and
still the wrong pursue. Is there no rem
edy for so great an evil ?

So far as it concerns their original or.
ganic strength or life-force, males and fe
males are brought into the world with e.
• Oat chances of life, whatever the condi
tion of health, may be in the parents.—
Both sexes, however, have, in our opinion,
better chances of surviving, if the mother
be healthy, even if the fathcr,be feeble ;
for the development of the body depend.
ing upon the blood of the mother exclu
sively, health is more likely to exist at its
birth, if the supply of the material be pure
and plenty. The chances continue to be
equal, so far as our observation goes, du
ring the period of early infancy, or 'to be
accurate, before they can run. After this',
boys enjoy by far the best chances of ac
quiring health until adult life, when casu
alties and disipation, and subsequently the
cares and anxieties attendant upon the sup
port of a family, increase the mortality
among males. It is probably for this rea
, On that the number of male births exceed
e female ones about four per cent,
If it be true, then, that the chances of
h 'lth for the two sexes, are equal at the
ou .et, we must show some very decided

legs hanging down, so that the poor back
bone has no earthly . support. Thus sits
the wretched child with book in hand,
from nine till twelve .or one o'clock, and
sometimes !three. 'The boy with the aid 1
ofsticking a pin now and then in his next
neighbor, and occasionully falling asleep
and tumbling from his•bench from pure
nervous exhaustion, to the great relief of,
hie half-stagnent blood-vessels and torpid
nerves, endures it till another merciful
pig or dog chase makes him feel that he
is alive.
But our unfortunate little miss is in a
distressed condition. She is charged to
walk "straight home," where she is al-1
lowed to select her dinner from those ar- 1
tides that afford the nutrition, such as!
pastry, cake,Tich puddings and apples,—
I
This, by the way, is her second meal of
the same character, having taken one ei
ther at breakfast or lunch. Indeed, she
requires no better food ; for she has had
no exercise -to consume the azote of the
meat she ought to eat, Remember, that
her muscles move her limbs, and are com
posed rhiqfty of nzote; and it is the red
meat or muscle of beef or mutton that she
would cat f',.slie had any appetite for its;
the fact is, the child'has fever, and loathes
meat. ~' .
Allot. dinner, she either -sits down to
her sampler, or the piano, and in all pro
babilitp finishes the day with tea end
preserves, She is then posted off to a
feather bed in an unventilated room, with
the door shut for fear the little darling will
take cold. A Notes stove or furnace keeps
the upper chambers from 85 dg. to 100 dg.,
land the feather bed and the blankets, re
taining all the heat of the body, swelter
the wretched little creature till morning-
What wonder that she gets spinal curva
ture, irnot actual deposits of tubercles in
the body of her vertebrae or lungs ? All
this we have oxplainedat length in the ar
ticle on Consumption. We have there
shown, that although strongly predisposed
to that form of scrofula, consumption, as
well as spinal disease, can often be over
come by exercise, air and a strong meat
diet; and though a child be actually free
of scrofula, that it may be produced by I
such a barbarous and wretched mode of
life as we have painted above; one that
we grieve to say is extremely common in
this city,, Boys often escape these evils
by parental neglect—and a precious boon
for them it is; but the poor girls are de-
prived of nature's only method ofkeeping
the pale-faced monster at bay.
Now, if this picture be denied, take you
two children of common parents,
,ut '
common country school, two miles from I
home, and if they, have sufficient clothing,
and good food, even though the benches
have no backs, and the schoool house be
overheated and little better than a pig-pen,
tell .Ine, if at twelve years of age the girl I
cannot often wrestle with her brother, and
ask no favors of him.
As the`.period "of pubertyapproaches,
the constant deprivation of her natural
wants ofgood,air, plain nutritrous food,
and plenty of unrestrained exercise, be
conics more apparent 'in its results; she
is exceedingly awkard ; her face is pale

most equally• ignorant with herself, or
what is still worse, being a miserable time

"making a bill"—and straightway corn
commences a scene of deception and ig
norance,that if it do not result in thb death
of his unfortunate patient, leaVes her
miserable creature, with spinal curvature
or consumptiotti.
The truth' is, nature has been 'utterly
foiled in the proper attainment of her
greatest end, by crippling her Only Meth
od of producing the life force. Air, rood,
and exercise of proper quality and quant
ity, and unrestrained song, laughter and
lort; these are her means, and these she
!must have, or healthful puberty can nev
er be established. If she finally break
through all this cordon of ignorance, and
attempt to invest her child with the crown
ing glory of womanhood—if the' rose at
last blooms faintly on her check, it is but
to often the precursor of hysteria, and in
stead of being the delight of the social cir
cle, she' becomes a constant source of anx
iety and misery to those who sarrotind
her. In short, she becomes "nervous,"
an d that is an ep . toine of horrors. Mien
worse than death itself.
So far we have spoken of the more pal
pable evils of her every day existence,
whose direct effect on her body is so ap
; parant, that they are beginning to attract
the notice of the thinking world.. Hew
shall we approach the subject of her in
tellectual being? What can we say of
her mental education as conducted in this
city?
.
It sickens the heart to contemplate •the
education of female children in this city.
ShOuld nature even triumph over all the
evils we have enumerated, no sooner has
tha`poor girl attained the age of puberty,'
than her mind and nervous system aro
placed upon the rack of novel reading and
sentimental love stories. There is just
enough of truth in most of these mawkish
productions to excite the passions and dis
tract the attention of theyounff c girl from
the love of nature and her teachings and
all rational ideas of real life, and to cause
her to dispise the (to her) common-place
patents, whose every hour may be occu
pied with considerations for her welflere.
Much has been done to injure the mor
als of our young girls by the publication
of the overstrained and impure produc
tions of the infamous school of modern
French novelists.
Dickens and Bremer, Sedgwick • and
Child, may counteract, in some degree, the
effect of the writings of such moral lepers
but when mothers praise such productions
in presence of their children, there is but
too much reason to suppose they will be
read by the curious girl, and ,their full, ef
fect produced. • . ;•
It is the premature excitement that we
dread: the licentious characters presented
in all the glom int , c' tints of depraved ima
gination, cannot fail injuriously to affect
the youthfuLgrganism. The forces of the
young heart ii vascular system, are thus
prematurely goaded into sphermal action
by the stimulus of imagination, A mor
bid centre is thus created in the system,
whose pernicious action is manifest in the
diversified forms of hysteria; and nothing'
less than the total wreck of the youthful
body often follows this infernal hot bed of
the passions—this altar of sacrifice for
the young.
