?HE SIZE OF SOULS.
'-Father," said James Watsot), "are
souls ol' the same size?"
"It depends upon what you mean bj
term," said Mr. Watson. "A cer
n kind of fish are called souls. They
not ol the same size* some are small
d some are large. Shoes jud boots
ve soles. They are oot all of the same
e."
' I did not mean those kinds of soles."
"What kind did you meau ?"
"Such souls as we have."
"What kind of souls do we have!'"'
"We all have souls."
"More pn-perly speaking, we are liv
g souls We are not one thing and
r sou's: another. What led you to
k the question respecting the size of
ul* ?"
"I heard Mr. Newcomb say in hi.? lee?
re that Cromwell had oue of the larg
t souls that ever lived."
"What did Mr. Newcomb mean when
said Cromwell had a very large
ul ?"
"1 suppose he meant as he said."
"Did be mean to tiffirm that his soul J
longer, and wider, and thicker than j '
ber iou!.- ?'' j j
"No, sir, I don't suppose he meant j1
at ; because souls have uo length or
eadth "
"He spoke figuratively, and his mean
fi was that Cromwell had greater in- j1
lligence, ei ergy and magnanimity jr
an other men. When we speak ofH
e a? having a great seul, we generally
ave reference to his capacity lor ?en- j '
ous feeling, rather than ty hi- capacity I
r thinking. We say of a generous, *
ble-uiiutied mau that he has a great .'
ul." j I
"Why Jo some persons have larger?
ula than others ?" |1
"Some are born with greater souls, ?r
at is, with greater capacities than Ie
hers. That is one cau-o. Then some a
uls ?row more than others?" jr
"Because better care is taken of them j
jjoreculture ie bestowed upou them iX
is with souls as with plants. If they s
e carefully cultivated, tiny make a Ie
gorous growth II they arc neglected. '
ey have a stunted growth. I once a
new two boys, who were ambitious. I
ut the ambition of one differed widely ?s
om that of thc other. One wa? a great -
wirer of tile village blacksmith, who
as a tall, stalwart man, and who had '
e reputation of being the strotigwt ! '
an In town. Hubert, for that was the v
oy's name, used frequently t'? vi-it the '
lacksmith'sshop, and watch the pun-?j
erous blows the blacksmith ?rave to thc 1
eatcd iron. He admired the powerful !.*
?rm that wielded the sledgehammer,
nd thought that he should be perfectly 1
pappy if he could be a* tall and Iari?e '.
iud strong as the blacksmith. ile 1
Wanted to know what would make his 1
body grow and what could make him I
Strong. Some wa^s gave him some ?li 1
rectioos which he made himself ridicu- ;
ous by following." j'
"Did he irrow large and strong ?" ? '
"No. Nature design ted that he '
hould be a medium-sized man, and <>? :
ourse he did not get beyond that. The r
tither buy was ambitions of having a '
ircai soul - ?f being mentally strons.- '
Ile admired mind more than "budy, and 1
whenever he read a good book, he felt !
tn intense desire fur mental improve- 5
tnent." ?'
"What did he do?" j
"Ile used all thc moans of mental itu 1
rovement within his reach." h
"Did he go to school ?" M
"Ile went to school when he could - :1
Iiis father was a farmer whj kept him r
nt home t" nelp him in thc summer, '
lind sent him to school in winter. Ile 1
Btudied with al! his might when he did
go to school, and when he did not gu 1
to school he d d the best he Could-j1
"When bc went t;> the field to work, he j*
took a book with him, and when for any . '
cause there was an interval from labor, 1
Die spent it in reading. Then, mb en he;'
?was -?I work, he thought over what he '
|read, so that he knew all the thoughts 1
the book contained. Then he kept his j'
eyes an J his ears open. He saw and,
heard what was going on .-.round him,!
especially when he met with intelligent ?
men did he listen with great attention .
to what they said, and treasured up in :
his memory everything he thought to . i
have value. He thus made as much j I
mental progress as most of those who':
have nothing to do but study After
while his father concluded to give t
him the advantages of a public educa?
tion. lu due time he was sent to
college, where he became one of the
?ry best scholars."
"It seems to me that he sought to
have a great miud rather thau a great
soul."
"So he did at first, that is to say, he
eared more for the attainments of in?
tellectual power than he did for nobility I
of soul. But after a while he began to (
see that he was pursuing a selfish course. :
'I am,' thought he, 'living ODiy to my- .
self. I am seeking my own mental itu?
provemeot wit..out caring much fdr the
improvement and happiness of others'
Having become sensible of his deficien
ey. he set out to cultivate his heart as
well as his intellect.
"IJowdid he do it?"
"Io the first place he set himself to
encourage aud assist those students who
were discouraged and found it hard to1
get along. Theo he endeavored to act1
as a peace m%ker io all cases where
there were difficulties and quarrels. By
^ and by, be discovered that the best way
te become noble minded waa to follow
the example of Christ. He sought first
the kingdom of Christ and his right?
eousness, and became thus a true
fol ower of Christ. After he had com
plated his college course be studied for
the ministry, that he might become a
miiisionary to the heathen. Some
thought that he waa wasting his talents
JJ devoting them to the work of in?
structing the ignorant and degraded
sons of Africa, but he did not think so.
Ml who knew him honored him for his
ievotion to the cause of benevolence."
Many young persons desire to bc
?trong. This is well. Thej should seek
to have healthy, strong bodies, that
their bodies may be fitting instruments
A the soul. They should desire to have
strong, beautiful, noble souls. To have
such souls they must use the mears of
growth. The law of bodily growth is
exercise. The limbs become strong
?vhen'they are properly and vigorously
exercised. The law of soul growth is
he same, exercise. Ile who wishes to
lave strong memory must exercise it,
md he who would.have strong and
jobie feelings must pursue a similar
:ourse.-Bright Side.

rilE LAST "DIAMOND WEDDING.'
A fashionable wedding occurred in
?ew York last Wednesday evening, at
Trinity Church. Miss Mary Amelia
l'wccd, daughter of Wm. Marcy Tweed,
if New York, was married to Arthur
Ambrose Mag innis, of New Orleans
['he wedding was a most expensive al?
air. Tlie bride is a young lady of
wen ty one years. The bridegroom, who
s a widower ot twenty-five, was support?
ed by Messrs. Dick and Frank Tweed, as j
rroomsmen. Tue bridesmaids were
\\\<> Josie Tweed, a sister of the bride,
md Miss Maginnis, the sister of the
rrootn. The Marriage service was per
t.rmed by Rev. Joseph H. Price, D. D
After thc ceremony was concluded the
jriiial party di ove at once to Mr. Tweed's
.alatial man>iou, corner of Forty third
.treetatid tifth avenue, where there was
i grand reception. The presents were a
.hii f centre of attraction to the guests.
They filled an entire room when crowded
dose. There were forty silver sets, any
mc of which would have attiao'ed a
rrowd if placed io a jeweller's window,
md one single one contained 240 s?pa?
nte pieces.
There were forty pieces of jewelry, of
rhich fifteen were diamoud sets. A
ingle one of the latter is known to have
ost $45.000. A cross of eleven dia
uouds, pea size, bore the natue of Mr.
ind Mrs. II. W. (jeuet as donors. A

The trousseau of the bride w is superb,

ind obtained from a leading Broadway
Irv goods house. They are oT thc most
rosily description, and the labor of pre
larin;: them has consumed nearly two

rance, and 'he most refined taste, and a
.II, ir blanche, was given to the maker,
.lilli the simple injunction that the out
ir should be**the richest overproduced,
ind fi' for a princess." The wedding
Iress was composed of white gros grain,
arith a train three and a half yards in
length, and was trimmed with real poitit
:ice, costing near $4.000. The front of
he skirt was cut with a deep scollop,
md thc overskirt consisted of lace,
iruamentcd with orange flowers. The
price of the material and labor required
io making and tr huming this dress, was
?1,0U0, ma kit j, with thc lace, a total
Mst ol ?5.000. The other dresses form
in? the trimr.gfaun.xe fourteen in number,

TER CI BC CS.
IWB. EDITOR.-A few deja ago I re*
ceived a courteous note from the mana?
ger of a Circus and menagerie, contain?
ing a complimentary ticket, and inf ititg
myself and wife to attend bia combina?
tion. Suob courtesy I thought deserved
consideration, and I began to reflect
upon tbe propriety of accepting tbe
proffered kindness. Bat after mature
deliberation tbere appeared to be some
reasons which were sufficient to deeide
me to decline the invitation ; which I
did by addressing a note to the said
manager. As these reasons may be of j
some interest to your readers, I re?
spectfully submit them for publication
hoping that in your kindness you may
find a place for them in yonr columns.
1st. I do not wish to take my wife to
a place where she would be compelled to
witness the indecent costumes and atti?
tudes ol Circus actors and where abe
would hear the profane and obscene
witticisms of vulgar clowns. And an
exhibition which is not sufficiently
chaste for my wife to attend would not
justify my own attendance.
2nd. If the show consisted only in a
menagerie, and could be relied on for a
faithful exhibition of all the animals
promised, I would lake pleasure in
patronizing it. and would recommend
others to attend. But aa the menagerie
obviously enters into the "combination"
merely to entice the moral class to at-1
tend the Circus, I must decline attend- [
ing, believing as 1 do that the Circus is
a wicked institution, and only evil in
its tendencies. Even if I should attend
only the animal exhibition, I'
would thereby give aid and comfort to
the Circus with which it is combined.
3rd. The taxes of our country are al?
ready sufficient by heavy, and I for one
am not willing to add to the public burden
by countenancing an institution which
takes from the peuple much money, and
leaves in return for it no substantial
good and much evil. Every Circus
proposes to levy a tax upon men, women
und children of from one to three dollars
per head (according to the number ot
exhibitions ) And although this tax is
paid in voluntarily it is none the less
burdensome. Tho immense taxation
annually collected by circuses and other
similar shows would, if levied by the
State, be considered a yoke too galling
to bear,-especially if the Government
should appropriate the money in 03
D-tter way than it is appropriated by
thc Circus. The money drained from
the country year after year by these
shows would soon, if rightly appropria?
ted, be sufficient to build our mnch
needed railroads; or build factories; or
build our county bridges and work our
almost impassable roads, or paint up our
houses, and grade and ornament our
streets and sidewalks; or relieve the dis
tress of many widows aod orphans; or
establish asylums, schools, colleges, and
churches; or put the EAST TEXAS ?1ER
A LD, or some other valuable newspaper
into thc hands of every intelligent
citizen; or furnish every community
with a public library. Think of it!
The amount of tax collected from the
community in one year by these shows
would turuish our town with an excel?
lent public librar-, which would be of j
incalculable benefit to thc citizens for
generations to come. These are some
of the ways in which the Circus tax
mi'jht be wisely appropriated to enhance
the value of property, and increase the
intelligence, refinement, and happiness
of thc people. But how is this immense
Circus tax appropriated ? It goes to
encourage idleness and vice, and to
support a class of persons who are noto
riour for their wickedness. Many of j
them it is well known are liars, (as j
proved by the false representations of
their advertisements;) manyare thieves
i as proved by the losses sustained by
many communities through which they
have passed;) they disturb the peace of
our Sabbaths by their journeys through
the country; aud many of them are no?
torious as profane swearers, adulterers,
prostitutes, gamblers, drunkards, and
murderers.
4th. A little reflection ia sufficient to
convince any reasonable mind that at?
tendance upon Cireuses ia likely to cor?
rupt and prevent the intellectual taste.
There is a fascination about them which
lures the victim on aad on ag certainly
and often as fatally, as the charming of
the serpent.
5th. The men and women engaged in
these shows have all talents which
might be of great aerviee to tbe country
if rightly used. Instead of being eon*
sumer.-, preying upon society, they
might add to the wealth and prosperity
of the country by their industry as
farmers, mechanics, merchants, lawyers,
and statesmen. I would be glad to see
them use their talents to some noble
purpose, and do not wish to encourage
them in the abase ot them.
6th. The worst classes is thc country
invsriably attend these exhibitions
deaperadoea and drunkards. Shooting
affrays, to my own knowledge, are of
frequent oceurence at these places.
Something of the kind occurred at one
of these Circuses, within th? limits of
this county bat a few days ago. There?
fore the lives of myself aid family
would be endangered it I should attend,
; and I am not justifiable ?a taking this
risk unless great good ii to ht gained,
or some duty, calls.
7th. Thea* institutions tn perhaps
very profitable to tb sir owters. Bot
"what eha? it profit a man \/U thaU
gain the vkoic vforid and late Ats own
mmtr* Believing, from the Tight of
the Bible, that these men, if they perse?
vere is) this line of business, will ioe?!
iaoly be dawt-oyed, tosi and body, ft
h e 1 !, ? oaneot consaie fltiouafy encourage
them * eetti&ae their occupation by
pel with free ?ttkm^Aflf?m^Qm%
at first sight appear tobe
kindness and respect to religion. But
careful reflection convinces me that these
tickets are in faet bribes, intended to
buy the influence of the leaders of pub?
lic morals,-mere selfish tricks devisea
to gather more money for the use of the
Circus.
9th. As a Christian it would be neither
right nor agreeable for me to go where
j the name of my God is often profaned,
and religion scoffed at. I am credibly
informed, that one of the jokes ot a
certain clown is to boast of the members
of thc Church who go "to see the ani?
mais," but often sticki there and witness
the Circus also.
10th. In these animadversions against
Circuses io general I mean no unkind?
ness to those engaged in them. I sin-,
cerely wish them well, and on this very
accouut I wish to discourage them from
pursuing this business. If any man
has sound reasons to offer in favor of
sustaining the Circus, I am willing to
be influenced)by the weight of argument.
But if the Circus cannot bear the light
of sound reasoning, then say I let the
institution die away into the regions of
darkness, and never more trouble civili?
zed society. MINISTER.
