The Peril-mount Men.
Rev. T. Dewit Talmadge recently lectured
before the 'Y. M. C. A. of New York, upon
the above subject, closing as follows :—
It is thegenerous young men, the large-
hearted, social young men who are, starting
in life with a magnificent cargo of hopes
that we want. The ljyoung men who are
empty of heart and l' e need no Christian
Association. They willnever drink, unless
somebody treats them, They will never
gamblefiave with some one else’s money._
hey are too mean to go to perdilion unless
somebody pays .the way for them.
To-nig tthere are upon all our railrodds
young men coming into this city to make it
their home. What shall be the influence
‘ cast around them ?__ Let us look at some of
the temptations which meet a young man as
he steps into the city. He is very apt to
meet at once with the skeptic. N 01 the out-
and-out infidel, but the generous, liberal
skeptic, perhaps in the person of his employ-
er. Towards the close of the week his
employer says: “Come, Frank, go with us
to Coney .. Island on Sunday.” “No, I
always go to church on Sunday.” “Go to
church do you; you believe in the Bible
then ‘1’” “Yes, I have always been taught
to.” “You believe the whole of it then—
believe that Jonah swallowed the whole, or
that the whale swallowed Jonah, either of
which is equally incredible, because if Jonah
had stayed in there so long he would have
been digested. I believe in the light of
nature.” How many have been thus
staggered by the first laugh of the skeptic 1
Another class of temptations comes from
dishonest or loose employers. What hope
is there for a boy who learns in the store
that a lie is excusable; that men ought to be
honest—when it pays; that it is wrong to
cheat—unless you can do it well. The boy
soon learns to cheat so sharply that he is
finally promoted to be head clerk. One
morning the employer comes to the store
and finds that the safe has been broken open.
Has the head clerk been here? No, and
never will be there again. He has acted on
no new principle—it was taught in the store.
There is a class of young men in New
York and Brooklyn who are called "drum-
mers.” They have a- legitimate business—
there is a lawful way to transact it, and an
unlawful way. There are members of this
class who take merchants from the West,
and the country round about, through all
the drc s of the city, showing them the
“sights,’ introducing them into the casinos
and hells ofvic'e. There is a private drawer
in the store where money is kept to pay the
expenses of these excursions. The proprietor
is perhaps, a professedly religious man, and
may be in a. prayer-meeting while his clerk
is at work. What will be the result Of this
dissipation to the clerk ? Some day be will
come into the store ragged and drunk, and
then he will be called “a disgrace to the
establishment,” and will be kicked out.
Young men of this Association. stand
around these clerks i Encourage them to be
honest, and if honesty leads them to want,
put your hands into your pockets and help
them. Many a young man commences his
dissipation in a fashionable cl b-housc and
ends in damnation at Five Poi ts.
In regard to the evangelization of this
city, it is evident that the churches are not
doing this work. The largest audiences
that assemble are not in 'lhe churches, nor
in the Christian Association. but in the
temples ofsin. The fact is, we want this
world saved elegantly, or we won’t save it
at all. If aman will drcés Well he can 'sit
in odr pew;ifhis hands are clean, he can
take hold of our psalm-book. We are very
precise about how we save men. Here is a
man up to his neck in the mire of sin. We
look at him, and say: “Is’nt it too bad; it’s
dreadful to see him there; I wish I had a
pry; .I wish I had my old clothes on."
While we are talking, a practical member
of the Christian Association comes
alon and pulls the man out. I look upon
the oung Men’s Christian Association not
as a rival of the Church, but as its advance.

A CORRESPONDENT up among the Bork-
shire hills, after remarking upon the neatuess
and attractiveness of the rural homes, lem-
pers his euloginm in the following whole-
some manner:
But the deafness, the tastefulness, lHe hap-
py arrangements, have in instances been
very dearly paid for. In many of these.
princely houses you find the second Wife,
often the third, and not seldom the fourth.
The first has given her physical strength,
her nervous energy and life to the end of
aiding in accumulating the fortune, and.

estab ishment which her successor, per-
chanceher successor’s successor now enjoys
in the same arduous way. Consumption is
considered in Malena Medics the most do-
structive disease upon the. slopes of the
Green and White mountains, but it is
believed that it is less consumption, which
carries 00‘ so many of our delicate women,
than house cleaning. '
Which is true.
Long prayers furnished the theme of a
little pleasant, ifnot profitable discussion, at
the recent Young Men’s Christian Conven-
tion in Washington. One of the delegates
asked: “What do you do with people who
persistently indulge in long prayers?” The
answer rompily given by another delegate
was: “ ever We them a chance to pray”:
instantly qua ified by another, who said:
“Except in private.” When meu‘pray In
private the length of their prayers lS always
a question between themselves and their
Maker. But when they undertake [to lead
the sup'plicative devol one 'of others, they
ought to understand that long and wordy
prayers are almost always an unprofitable
bore to at least nine persons in ten. They
may be tolerated, yet they are never relished.
Too many ministers commit this mistake In
their public prayers. ,

CONFEDRIT X Roans,
(which is in the State of Kentucky.)
, May 24, 1871.
A calm an comprehensive snrvcyruv the
polilikle field satisfied me, some months ago,
that wilhout some'shift in the position uv
the dimocrisy, our hopeuv success wnz ex-
ceedingly thin. The resolooshcns inlerdoost
by Vallandy gumin the convenshun of the
dimocrisy uv Montgomery county, Ohio,
waz to me a new life. Troo, they hav the
side .disadvautyge uv abjooin’ every thing
that is dimocralic, and uv putting the dimo-
cralic party on purely republican ground,
but wat uv that? I kin stand even nz sud-
den 0. change oz that. Wat 1 want is the
soorpreme happines uv kickin’ that nigger,
Lubbock, out IN the post-Cilia at the Cor-
ners, and uv putting myself in-his place, and
Kernel McPelter and Elder Pennibacker,
who hev bin languishin outside the offices
uv assessor and collector, are actooated by
the same high and holy impulses. Ef in do
this requires the okepying of ‘uv republikin
ground, the war-cry uv us three is, ‘Okepy.’
Kentucky is sure to go dimocra-iic anyhow,
and if we kin, by so simple a process ez pass-
republikins in the close northern states to i
1
who will give us these boous, we three are
for passin 'theSe reslooshens, no matter wat
the are. This bein my understandin uv

with him-ou-lhis question, let him make
not deservi'n uv even the commonest necrs- o
caries uv life. Several who had riz to their c
fillet to object, dropt as though they had been 0
s of. ,
It wuz determined to hold a public meet-
lic endorsement of Vallandygum’s idea. it
states that the dimocrisy uv the Sonih real- 1
ly acceptid the situashcu, and meant in dead
earnest, to recognize the great principle uv
equality, I arranged to hev all the nigger-s
uv the Corners present, and saved for them
the best seats in the house. Joe Bigler and c
Pollack come, uv course, which I coodent 0
help.
I opened the exercises by making a short h
speech ez I took the chair. I rejoist as that h
the time was finnally arriv when the lion
and the lamb hed layed down together, and h
a small child was leadin uv em. I knowd .1
that our _ colored fellow-citizens had been 2,
dispitefully yoosed, and,- that (100 respcck t
had not been alluz paid to our fellew-citi~
zens uv the north, but that time had now b
passed and I hoped forever. The dimocrisy a
uv the North, through Vallandygum, hed
spoke ; they hed accepted the situashcn, hal-
leloogy, and from this time henceforth and
forever there wuz to be nothin’ but peace.
I then offered the following resolution;
“Resolved, that the dimocrisy of the Yoo- d
nitcd States recognize the legality uv all the e
amendments made to the constitution doorin
and since the late unpleasantnis, and that

in all the results uv the war that they not only
withdraw their opposishen to yooniversai
sufl'crage, but plege theirselvcs to see that
our Afrikiu fellow citizens hev not only this
but all other rites heretofore cxcloosively en-
joycd by the Caucashen."
I put the question oz to the adopslien uv
the resoiooshen, and it was carried uoonau-
imously. It wood hev been well bed I stop-
ped there, but I didn’t. My prevailing weak-
ness is to slop over and I slopt on this ok-
kashun fenrfnlly. I called upon the citizens ,
uv the Corners to prove their faith by their l
works. “There are,” I said, in a spasm of 1
delite, “present at this meeting twenty-two
uv our fellow citizens of Afrikin descent.
Let em step forrid on this platform—let Dee-
kin Pogram, Elder Pennibacker, Baseom,
Issakcr Gavitt and eighteen other white cit-
izens step forrid olso. Let them clasp each
other by the hand while I waive over cm
the flag uv_ our common kentry.”
This wuz done. The twenty-two niggers
stopped forred, the whites designated advan-
ced, the two lines grasped each other by the C
band, and I wuz about tp waive, when Joe 9.
Bigler riz. He begged me to wait a minit 0
till he’d made his remark. The sight afor 0
him moved him almost to tears. El he be u
ever harbored a suspishen that there wazn’t a
anything generous in the Kentucky breast. a
he took it all back. The ackshen nv to nite
wuz not only just, but it wuz generous.
‘cherous,’ said I. ‘Why generous?’
‘Bccoz,’ said he ‘the nig ers wood be in a
devilish bad way ef yoor edu’t decided on
given em their rites uv yoor own akkord,
for there aint no power now that kin com-
pel yoo to do it. , I jist got a nothern paper
—alasl the republikin party is split into
fragments—remarkably small fragments.

‘It hez,’ responded Bigler.
‘Then,’ sed Deekiu Pogram, his eyes flash-
ing with unwontid fire ‘What we ve done
and sed don't count! Take that, you black
kussl
And with a strength and activil y wich I
hedn’t lookt for in one so ngid, the Deekin
fecht the dorky whose hand he had been
graspin a most powerful blow atween the
eyes wich histed him clean off the platform.
The others follercd soot and in their zeal
sprang off the platform after cm, and wuz a
executin war dances uv the most frantic
descripshen onto their prostrate bodies._ It
wuz with difficulty that Pollcok and Bigler
restrained cm from lakin uv em out and
hanging uv em.
Ez a matter uv course the resolooshen wuz
rescinded, and others adopted afiirmin our
adherence to the constooshen ez it yoost to
be, the illegality of the amendments, and the
nateral soopl'emacy uv the white man over
the d—d nigger, after which we adjourned -
to Buscom’s ez is our custom, and there or-
ganized fresh raids into our nateral enemies.
The next morning I notiscd apecool er
look on Bigler’s lace, and likewise on ol-
loek’s. They grinned at me, cz I passed
with a broadnis wich I couldn’tacconnt for.
Lubbock, a nigger post-master, burst into a
roar, ez I walk in to his ofiiis, and I angrily
demanded the reason for his hilarity.
‘Dat mistake ob Bigler’s,’ returned he,
lau hing louder than before.
‘\ hatmistakc ?' I asked turnin pale, for
snspishun wuz creepin over me.
‘What, he didn’t get no paper at all, and—’,
‘And all that story about the split in the
republikin party North wuz one 11v. his in-
fernal 1105 l’ _
‘Dat’s about the correct stale ob de case l’
replied the nigger, showin all his ivories.
Bigler wanted to see if yoor petance wuz

sprest a desire to assertane jist how peace-
able yood‘be toa nigger and the northern
eople down lleah, cf dar wuzn’t no ’pnbli-

And the nigger lali‘ed a fiendish lafl‘.
‘Dat was all !’ be repeated.
It wuz euufi‘. I guess the cuss found out
all that he wanted to. UV course this “out-
rage,” oz they will call it, will get into the
northern papers, and uv course Vallandy-
gum’s assershun will explode itself Without

genius. I she] never be able to run things

A Lesson from PcterCooper.
The Herald of Health, for July, contains
the following brief letter from Peter Cooper:
‘fWhilc yet a child, I learned that the
‘liand of the diligent makcth rich,” and
whatever of wealth I have achiever], has
been due primarily to habits of palieutin-
dustry formed at the outset of my career. I
soon learned that ‘waste makes want,’ and
I therefore saved what I earned :; and by
taking ‘stitches in time,’ guarded against the
loss which unavoidably attends upon neg-
lect and want of iOl'OSIglit. It id not take
long for‘ me to learn that drnn cuness was
the parent of the larger portion of the pov-
erty, Vice, and crime vfiiich afiiict the Amer-
ican people; and hean until advancing
age seemed to demand moderate stimulants,
I carefully avoided alcohd‘lic liquors as the
greatest-curse of the young, and the most
deadly foe.to domestic happiness and the
public welfare. .
Next, I observed that most of the ship-
wrecks in life were-(lire to debts contracted
hastily, and out of proportion to the means
of the debtor; hence I always avoided debt,
and endeavored‘to keep some ready money
on hand,.to avai of a favorable opportunity

Hicir Hanna—Visiting a hospital in a
large City is by no, means a pleasant occupa-
I101]. _The sights are not agreeable: the sur-
roundings sugge‘st'no ideas of a happy or
agreeable character, save those connected
wuh thec‘are of thesick, the prostrate, the
sulfermg. Especially‘do-thesc remarks ap-
p1y~to hospitals devoted to surgical cases.
Inglhesejnstitutions all the sights are of a
painful character. Men and women are to
be seen suffering under the most dreadful af-
flictions, their bodies distorted, their. limbs
twgsled, excresceuces clinging to them like
llvmg curses, eyes gone, and the whole hu-
man economy burdened by special maladies,
which can only be reached by the keen
knife, the clear eye, lllc‘ steady nerve, and
the iron hand of the Veteran surgeon. And
thenllllc prcparnlion and labor are or. a lev-
el With the task to be accomplished. Men,
women and children, lifeless under the ef.
fecls of chloroform, or some other agent of
a similar character, human bodies carried
from place to place on slrelchers ; the noise-
less, but not bloodless, work of the operalors
the writhing of subjects when returning
conscrousness makes them sensible of what
has been done, are all parts of a scene which
if once witnessed, will never be forgotten.
But all this is necessary, as a means of re-
lieving sufferers from pain, and restoring
them to the use of all their natural functions.
Science, skill and care reduce the safferings
of those compelled 'to under 0 surgical ope-
rations, to the lowest possiLle point. But
enough remains to frighten people from
paths, the end of which is the operating ta-.
ble, and surgeon’s knife. One of these paths
which just now is filled with victims, is the
wearing of high-heeled boots by ladies and
children. The practice is openly condemn-
ed by learned surgeons, and Dr. William H.
Pancorst remarked the other day, after per-
forngig a painful operation on an interesting
little girl whose feet had been ruined b
wearing wrongly constructed shoes, “this is
the beginning of a large ha'vest of such
cases.” And what else can be expected?
Mothers walk the streets with heels on their
boots from two and a half to three inches ’
high and less than an inch in diameter, and
their daughters follow the some bad and
barbarous practice. In many cases severe
sprains of the anclcs are suffered. But these
are not the worst fruits of the high heel tor-
ture. The toes are forced against the fore
part Of the boot, and soon begin to assume
unnatural positions. In many cases they are
actually dislocated. In others the great
toe passes under the foot. the tendons burden
in that position, and lameness is contracted,
for which there is no cure but the knife.
When the injury does not take this form it
assumes other aspects almost as horrible and
distressing. There are thousands of young
girls tip-toeing it along our streets to-day,
who, in a few years, will be cripples if
their parents do not interfere and remove the
cause. We will have a race of women al-
most as helpless, so far as walking is con-
cerned, as those of China; We condemn the
practice of confining the feet of Chinese chil-
dren in wooden shoes, and yet that practice
is no more injurious to the feet than forciu
them into a small bo‘ol, with an Alpine hee .
This is a matter ofgrave and serious import
and hence we press it upon the mothers and
fathers of the land. If they would not feed
the surgical hospitals, and have groups of
maimed daughters in their homes, they must
commence a crusade upon high heels. No
father should have hi h-heeled boots in his
house. any more than 8 would keep a vic-
ious dog in the parlor. When skillful sur-
geons, like Dr. Pancoast, from the operating
room, raise their voices against high heeled
boots, it is time for old and young ladies to
pause and listen. At this period, they can
choose between high heels and the opera-
ting knife. In a short time, it may be the
latter, or a permanent lameness—Philadel-
phia Age, 2 it)».
A WONDERFUL Cm rs LONDON.— It is
four times more populous than New York
and St. Pctersburg, twice as populous as
Constantinople, has two-thirds more people
in it than Paris, and one-fourth more than
Pekin. It contains as many people as Scot-
land, twice as many as Denmark, and three
times the number of Greece. Every eight
minutes, night and day, one person dies
every five minutes one is born. Eight hun-
dred thousand have been added to the pop-
ulation since 1851. Only half a million of
all this population attend public worship
and there are a" million of absentees who,
if inclined to attend, would require 800 new
places of worship to be built: 100,000 peo-
ple work on Sundays; there are 140,000
habitual gin drinkers : 190,000 intoxicated
people every year taken 00‘ the streets ; 100,
000 fallen women; 10,000 professional gam-
bler ; 50,000 children trained to crime ; 30,-
000 t loves and receivers of stolen goods.
There are 10,000 public houses and beer
shops, frequented regularly by 500,000 per-
sons. In every 890 of the population one
is insane. There is one baker for every 1,-
206 persons; one butcher for every 1,553
one grocer for eve 1,500, and one po-
liceman for every 6 8 inhabitants. On the
other hand, out of 00,000 street Arabs, 30,-

We often hear stories related of the won
derful cunning and knowledge of the rat,bnt
one is told—says the Ogdensburg (N. Y.)
Journal—of a recent occurrence in which a
real old gray rat was the hero, and the inci-
dent whereof took place in that city, which
is equal to the best. A lady who has a num-
ber of fine hens, to which she has devoted a
good deal of care and attention during the
winter, in hopes to obtain an early and a fair
crop of fresh eggs, was surprised at the mea-
gre result actually reached. The hens made
noise, in singing and cackling, enough for
every-day layers, and yet only occasionally
did she get an egg. _
The lady at length delermmcd to watch
operations and ascertain if possible the cause
of failure, She saw the hens go upon the
nest, but if she was not present when they
came off no egg was found. At length con-
stant watching and waiting solved the mys-
tery. A day or two since, while on the
watch, a hen came off the nest and commenc~‘
ed cackling. Almost instantly an old rat
came out ofa hole, and running into a bar.
rel, which was thrown down upon its Side,
and in which the hen’s nest was, at once
nosrd the egg out upon the ground. then
laid down upon its back and gelling the egg
between its fore paws and nose, commenced
squealing, when two'other rats came out and
taking the rat with the egg by the hind legs,
dragged it, egg and all, into the hole. The
lady affirms that she can substantiate the
foregoing fact by at least three living wrt- .
nesses. If any one can tell a more remark-
able rat story than this we would like to -
hear it.
The “ Fat Contributor,” Gris, of the Cin-
cinnati Times, has the following iii-'mgard
to an old conductor promoted to usin-
dispatcher: “Habit was very strong with the
ex-condnclor. As he sat in the office he
would start every time he heard a bell ring
and yell, “ All aboard.” Then he would go
aboul'lhc, office at intervals and try to col-
lcct fare of his assistants. We dropped in
casually one afternoon, and Billy wanted to
know it we had a pass. He couldn’t fist
accustomed to his new position at all. e
pined to be again on the road. One day he
begged the boys to put him through a col-
lision, which they did to his entire gratifica-
lion. They tore his clothes nearly off, black-
cued his eyes, broke a kerosene lamp over
his head and piled a red-hot stove on top of
him. Billy was in an ecslacy of. delight,
and declared he hadn‘t enjoyed himselfso
much since he had a bile.”
