"KRASMirs-FKOM THE COUNTRY. « <Nervousness' is getting to be fright fully common in this country. In o times' this affliction was confined chiefly ,xo old men and to paste, females; to con stitutions of the poetic type, to impressi ble and exalted natures, like fine writers, musicians, orators, great actors and liter ary people are commonly endowed with. In 'old times' the old nervous people kept the house, or rode out moderately and quietly; they took nervines, they were .waited on and soothed and treated as in valids, and so they passed innocently and harmlessly out of the world, without murdering any body or even breaking any body's head or limbs And the or- artists, poets and writers of that -lay found vent for this infirmity in the rostrum, through their art. in their verses and glowing pcricds. But nowadays there is a flock of young people who 'are HO very nervous J' The malo 'nervous youth' (of course wo except^from what we arc about to say crazy i/enirses, who ,nre always, at times, more or less mad) — the male 'nervous youth' of this day, per haps, has drank too much poisoned whis ky, aud smoked too many cigars or pipes, "i he bus kept late hours in forbidden places, or the fountain ot his life is dry ing up from disease; perhaps lie is an idle fellow, blase, empty headed, 'gone to seed, a half-gamester and profligate who verges near dcierixin tremens, or an over-indulg- ad, imperious pet, pamperod by his ser vants, dreaded by his dependents, fawned on by parasitical expectants, mortally fear ed by his mother, sister or wife; in fine, •lord of himself—that heritage of woo'— afino gentleman, in a small way, who never has thought about Divine grace, and who is only approachc 1 with impuni ty by the very Devil himself. A charac ter of this sort may be 'nervous' when lie "is crossed even by an atom or*t hair.— The 'nervous female' may possibly be over excited upon the subject of her be ing ti'lady,' as she stales it—that is, a person who can do nothing to help her self, and who glories in such helplessness: •one who has a potty income, and yet who would hue* servants, jewels, gorgeous jipparel, one who would give rich and frequent entertainments —if she only had the money of somebody above hej; and all this for the reason that she was put to a l /a»h!oliable boarding-school,' when ono in her circumstances ought to have bceu trained for the practical duties nr.d labors of life. • And so she becomes'ner vous' often. While thousands of others of her sex, too bashful or prudish to read the pliysioiogieal truths that every woman should know, fall into an abuse of their nature, through ig..orancc and neglect— and the number of these is legion nowa days—and i n this way live diseased a4id tormented lives, at a period of existence every pulse should gild their fea tures as sunlight glitters on the daticiug wave. Now, this evil is a great moral, social, physiological evil of the day, and on this evil fatten swarms of quacks— medical quacks—of patent medicine ma kers, of sellers of ditguited rum in a 'medical' forms; hosts of 'speci for what they call female diseases' here are born (only a medical map think, can tell how many) the sly Wcmale devoted to stimulants 'to relieve nervousness,'win eventually become, to all intents aud purposes, opium eaters, •passing from inordiuate ale drinkers,' through other degrees of stimulants, fin ally to opium. [Of course, good .nigral and healthy society will understand that of the morbid—o'.' the weeds, the poisons, and not of the heal thy—of the flowers, and of the true and rightly-directed of his fellows.] And here it is that 'moral insanity.'as the doc tors call it, finds its origin, in nine cases *"udl Tenwtr is confounded • with 'nervousness;' unl> rutted .passion and un tamed impulse are mistaken for such helpless cases as are driven into guilt and excess, because the rudder, the will, the . senses are destroyed and chaotic. "Uow much of this evil, that does.«ot strictly belong to physical causes, can be traced to foolith education, and to pointed affections or fancies, alike in the single aud in the wedded ! In tho .first place, the more worldly 'fashionable' no tion of religion sesolvos the earuest and thorny life, the daily life of warfare aud self-sacritioe, iuto "a merely pleasant thing of the tenses and tentwienls Togo to chursh and sit \n a nioc piew, well dressed, to hear 'handsome prayers' and the Bible well and musically read: to AMERICAN CITIZEN.

Lincom>. teach a Sunday school class, to read the 'pretty parts' oT the Gospel at home, on Sunday—this Is not all of religion ! Where are the characters whose exercise is demanded and commanded, all around us, and daily? What is the everyday life? True, when within one'smeans,the accomplishments and graces of life are but so many duties; but these are subor dinate to such practical thing", as beloeg to the solidity and gravity of mortality, which, after all, is but a breath, which is only the threshold to a vast and awful 'altered btate of being,' but, during which, i chut icc oxce to others requires that wo shall be able to do something, women and men, besides talk and amuse ourselves.— Talk, music, wit, mirth, will not ov.rsee a servant, nor cook a. dinner, nor nurs an invalid, dor economize the household expenses, nor will they darn a stocking. The gaieties and pleasures; but alas, for the poor selfish beings, the warp and woof of wtiose exist,enec are made of such syllabu! s—what wonder if (when dc privod of such trifle.) these become 'ner vous' and 'morally insane !' Then, what they call the 'incompatibilities' of wed ded life—what a fruitful source this is of nervous derangement, perhaps only is known to the gieat Father. The two people may be well enough naturally; they met ill a tit of romance, they played a purt to deceive each other in eouruhip, each rssuuiing a character which was thought to be most in harmony with the other's taste; and go they united for life, wedding a positive lie, very often on both sides. So they arc 'incompatible,' and each blames theothcr while each is equal-. ly culpable in the 'little cheat' of court ship Oh, if uow only true religion were at the bottom of these characters! Oh. if healthful aud practical cducatiou had been theki, J .iow soon these blessed agen cies would tame the mere fire iu the blood, and draw each to the other by the tender cords of love, and the iron bonds of duty ! Regulated thus the natural and innocent coquetries, by whic'i they deceived each oilier, would fade into tho great duty of sell' restraint, of forbearance, of model ing each other's lives to please and lo strengthen each other, aud their petty ! tuults would varuis'4 before '.ho dignity | and sobriety <Lorn of the influence* of ' proper early education; (hoc® would thus ! fade and f:i<HWm into solid, loviug and useful characters. lJut the poor pets and popinjays, the summer birds and flowers life, 11// music, all living on externals, all sensual, with feeble runt* fkarce resting on the earth, and with wings and songs made for tho sunshine only, how shall they bear poverty and disappointment? Each 11ns lived for sell and each expected to haveministered to in wedlock.— Neither ever dreamed of self-sacrifice; neither is anchored on tho strength of re ligion, which gives dignity and strength to the character. And so they become 'nervous,' 'guilt}*,' 'morally insane,' toss ed about by the storms of passions and impulses.

The Wonders of Ppru. Hon. E. G. Squier, late minister to Ni caragua and commissioner to Peru, deliv ered a lecture in this city, not long since, which was remarkable for its wonderful statements regarding the latter countr.. A charming and deeply interesting nar rative was given of the perilous travel on niules over the Cordilleras, sometimes through narrow and rugged passes, accom modating ou'y beast and rider, and some times through gorges and over the beds of the peculiarly wild Peruvian moun tain torrents. At the altitude of 11,000 lect the traveler found his hands and feet frozen, and at 15.000 feet above the sea riders sometimes fell iroiu their horses, taken with the hemorrhage iuduced by the ratification of the air at that great height. <jh the arid aud bleak lands near the mountains, great yellow win rows, the ancient tuvfiyli or burying pla ces met the gaze . A skeleton clothed in a wrapper of beaten gold was lately dug up from these sauds. Kven before thv advcntuier rose the stupendous bar riers of the.Cordilleras, severe with eter nal winter, aud rigorous in their solitary and barren sublimity. In these moun tain ranges Mr. Squicr fo ind the weath er a greater hardship than the coldest seasons of the North. and had to trrvel .pot unlike an Esquimaux. Upon the basin lying between the Cor dilleras and the Andes the lecturer devo ted his fertile memory and fancy, descri bing a region wonderful in picturesque arts, .mineral resources, and climate, but inhabited by a people of suiali wealth, thrift or knowledge, and even uegligcut of means to make their country product ive.

Here was the second fleetest fresh water lake in the world, 11.000 feet above thesea —hake Titicaea —which contained the sacrc 1 island from which the splcnded fncas deriveved their origiu and ordination, in which was the cave where Manco Capac took refuge, and where were ruins of ancient U.nples, some of the Lest preserved probably in the world. It was in reference to the source of these lakes, always supposed to be without any outlet whenever to the ocean, and seated 111 a country almost en tirely enclosed, anil strangly differing from the rest of tho world, that the geo graphical problem ted, to which the speaker drew • attention. To fiud the source of these lakes, aud to open up Pe ru to active civilization, was a conquest worthy of American k'lveiitni;e. Tho World has its White Nile aud Lake Nga mi and the same inducements should be hold out to.jlfsjW.ery as the Old World gives its explorers. Mr. Squtcr condemn ed the'absurd idea started by Mr. Maury of making a way for Emigration through the Amazon, showing that travel was im possible by this route, and even it prac ticable would land the new coiner in ut inhabitablc wilds.

NASIJV, Paster ov the Church uv the Noo Woman's Duties. Whatever may be the proper "sphere of woman," whether it is her destiny to rncud stockiugs, or to make speeches, whether sobly to wash dishes, or to vary the exercise with a turn at the ballot-box, one thing is becoming daily more and more apparent, viz., that tho early train ing and education of females as a class is not what it should bo to make them com-'' petentn wives and mothers, and orna ments to society. Of tho vitiated atmosphere iu which girls are reared Gail Hamilton in her upright ,and downright way puta the matter thjjs;— "This tone of sentiment is such as to' diminish girls, self-respect, mar their pu rity, and dwarf their boiug. They in hale, they imbibe, they are steeped in the idea, that tho great business of their life is marriage, and if they failto secure that they will become utterly bankrupt and pit'ablo. Naturally this idea becomes their ruling motive; all their course is bent to its guidence; and from this idea and this courso ot action spring critus, and disaster, 'in thick array of depth ; immeasurable.' "1 have seen girls—respectable well educated, daughters of Christian families, of families who think they believe man's chief cud is to glorify God and enjoy him forever, who profess to ujake the Bi ble th .ir ;„ilo of tu 1 til and practice, to eseliew the pomps and vanities of this world, and cousccrate themselves to the Lord—who are yet trained to think and talk of marriage in a manner utterly c mmercial and frivolous. Ailusiiustoaud couversatious on the subject aro of such a uature they cannot remain unmarried without shame. They are taught, not in direct terms at so much a lesson, like music or German, but indireutly, and with a thoroughness which no music mas ter can ecjual. that, if a woman is not marri ed, it is because she is not attractive, that to be unattractive to men is tho most dismal and dreadful misfortune, aud that for an unmarried woman earth has no honor and mo ihappiness, but only tolera tion and a mitigated or unmitigated con tempt.
