PhiltirfcJjihia Bulletin. . The Intellectual Lifo 111 Mill.IP (UMIKRT HAMERTON I happei d one day to converse with an v(cl!?n; 1 roiicli cook about the delicate ( vie i proiessed, and ho comprised tin. whole (it it under two heads.?the kmtvledge < f the influences of ingredients, and the judicious management of beat. It struck iitt; that there existed a very closo analogy between cookery and education ; and, en lei! iv. ing out the subject in my own way, 1 found that what lie told me suggested several considerations of the very highest importance in tlie culture 01 me human intellect. I, Atnong (lie dishes for which my friend had a deserved reputation, was a certain ifnti'iii (J< /''if, which had a very exquisite flavor. The principal ingredient, not in ! quantity, but in power, was the liver of a i fowl; but there wore several other ingrediI cuts also, and amongst them a leaf of the i parsley. Ho told me that the influence of j the parsley was a good illustration of his , theory about his art. If the parsley were : omitted, the flavor ho aimed at was not prol duccd at all; but, uu the other hand, if the ! quantity of parsley was in the least excessive, then the gateau, instead of being a delicacy f/onrmfts, became an uneatable mess. PerecKing that 1 was really interested in the subject, lie kindly promised a practical evidence of his doctrine, and the next day intentionally spoiled his dish by a trifling addition of parsley. lie had not exaggerated the const picnces; the delicate flavor entirely departed, and left a nauseous bitterness in its place, like the remembrance of an ill-spent youth. And so it is, 1 thought, with the different ingredients of knowledge which are so ! eagerly and indiscriminalingly recommended. \Ve are told that we ought to learn this thing or that, as if every new ingredient did not affect the whole flavor of the mind.. There is a sort 01 intellectual [ chemistry which -isquite its marvellous as materiel ehi njstry, and- a thousand fiuiefi iii' re <iuT.cuii tb unserve. One general truth may. however, bo relied upon as surely and pennam ntly our own. It is true that everytiling we lea n affects the icJtofc character of l lie mind. Consider how incalculably important becomes the question of proportion iu our knowledge. : nd how that which we are is dependent amuch upon our ignorance as our science What we eall ignorance is only a smaller proportion. What we call wiein^' only a larger. 'J'lio larger quantity i> recotiimcii led as an unquestionable good, hut the goutiness of it is entirely dependent on the predi ct that we w^nt. Aristocracies have always nstincfivcly felt this, and have decided that a gentleman ought not to know too much of certain arts and sciences. The character which they had accepted as their ide al would have been destroyed by indis! criminate additions to those ingredients of which long experience had fixed the exact proportions. The same feeling is strong in the various professions; there is an apprc| liension that the disproportionate knowledge , ' - ? ?- i ,i 'ri.n may uvstmy mu |in?' .Mii>uui nuiuiv. j ..u le.-s intcllige it member* of tlie profession will toll you that they dread an unprofessional use of time; but tlie more thoughtful are not so apprehensive about hours and days; fh?i/ dread that sure trans formation of the whole intellect which follows every iuerease of knowledge. 1 knew an Knglish author who. by great euro and labor, had succeeded in forming a stylo which harmonized (juitc perfectly with the character of his thinking, and l i ved as an unfailing means of comuiunica I lion with hi.- readers. Kvcry one recogmz cd it.- iinplc oast* and charm, and ho might have gmio mi writing with that enviable facility, had he not determined to study bock' s I'liiloS'iphical Compositions."? h lily c.llciward my friend's style suddenIv lost its grace; he began to write with difficulty, and what he wrote was unpleasantly diiliiult l-rend. Kvcii the thinking was it i longer hi - own thinking. Having been in too clou communication with a writer In was not a literary artist, his own art had ?! tfii .1 iicl in ronsci|Ucnec. I could mention an l-inglish landscape paint, r who diminished the pictorial ex <lbneo of Ills works by taking (??<? much in: 'vc.-'t in geology.

I a] ?-ars to he a simple mfidcioe it lit 1 11 g that wo inwardly want to know If feel the inward want lor a rtain kind of knowledge, it may perhaps, In pre nine* that it would bo good for me; i ti.it cv n tl is feeling is not periodly reliable, ince people arc often curious about ? liiic. wi.i'- do not closely concern them, I whilst 11 icy neglect what it is m-.st jm . 11.it.tut for (hem to a certain. All that I < j vciituic to insist upon is, that we cannot learn anything ne.v without changing our whole intellectual composition, as a mechanical compound is changed by anothor ingredient; that the mere addition of knowledge may he good for us or bad for us; and that whether it will be good or bad is usually a more obscure problem than the enthbsiasm of educators will allow. That depends entirely on the work we have to do. Men are qualified for their work by knowledge, but they are also negatively qualified for it by their ignorance. Nature herself appears to take care that the workmen i shall not 'kflbw too much; she keeps him steadily to bis task : fixes him in one place inemtally, if not corporeally, and conquers his rcatlefjsness by fatigue. As we are bound to a little planet, and hindered by impassable gulfs of spaces from wandering in stars whore we have no business, bo we are kept by the force of circumstauces to the limited studies that belongs to U9. If , we have anv kind of efficiency, very much of it is owing to our narrowness, which is ! favorable to a powerful individuality. Safeguards to Purity. i I There are many parents who fancy that i they can bring up their children, and es- I pecially their daughters, in a large degree, i ignorant of the evil that is in the world.? ] As the king in the fairy tale banished all i spinning wheels from his dominions, that ] his daughter might not wound her fingers i with a spindle, and realize the prophecy of < the spiteful old fairy at her christening, ! even so mothers withhold useful and neces- < sary knowledge from their daughters, lest I with it may be mingled something leading 1 to harm. And even as this charming priu- I ce.<s, notwithstanding every precaution, as I by accident came upon the only spinning < wheel in the realm, was wounded by the i spindle, and leu into ner nunureu years i slumber, so oflen docs the young lady una- j wares, stumble upon experiences of whose i possible existence she never dreamed and I which are fur more disastrous to her than i those that befell the sleeping beauty. i Boys and girls as they grow will learn the i ins and outs of the wicked world. If their 1 parents do not give them this knowledge, ] somebody else will, and the manner in which i the information is given is in all moral re- i spoils va-tly more imDortant than the mat- i ter. The parent may instruct the child in I everything it should know, satisfy itscuriosi- i ty within proper limits, and thus preoccupy ' the ground that otherwise would be sown by I chance cultivators more with tares of vice i thaw with the wheal of Luuclctlgv. i It is simply astonishing how soon young i children pick up slang words, vile words, profane words, and attach to them meanings, i It is equally surprising how instinctively i they conceal all this knowledge from their i parents, aud while the mother thinks her little girl a model of innocence and purity, 1 her neighbor may know that such is very far from being the case. Therefore it i9 not possible for tho mother to cultivate too great an intimacy with her child. She should i have the juvenile heart sprcadkout before ! her as a mirror, reflecting every thought, ; every passion of the child. Thus she will be abW judiciously to administer antidotes i . r!..W_ i L..:U ?..r I.. * . ; , lO vice anu uunu up smvuuurua iu nnuv. | (Jirls art' as a general rule brought up iu i i ignorance of very much which it most con- ] cerns ihoiu to know. .Many a young luJy i dances on the verge of a precipice, not : knowing her danger, and many tall from < virtue because their mothers had not the J. courage to warn them of the pitfalls in their I pathway and the steps leading thitherward i The love of purity, like the love of knowl- : edge, and the lovo of tame, grows by what it feeds on, and dies if it have not suitable nutriment. The girk ami boy who have steadily held up before their eyes an ideal of high a|)'l pure womanhood and manhood, who are taught from early childhood that ( their souls arc alike sacred to parity, will , hardly fail to realize in maturity the highest wishes of their parents in fhese respects.? | Heroic virtue is never the result of igno- I ranee in man or woman. Wc who know I the shoals along the entrance to mature life ., should build lighthouses on sunken reel's, j plant buoys in dangerous places, and build life-boats for the rescue of the shipwrecked. 1 In bis prayer for bis disciples, Christ i' .said: "I pray not that thou shouldst take i them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep thciu from the evil." Purity is not inconsistent with knowledge of evil, and as 1' soon as a child is old enough to wander from ; the right way, ho should be instructed in the dangers that arc most likely to befall i him, and the way in which .it can be avoid ; i cd. ; When (here is a perfect understanding 1 between parents and children; when the . i daughter feels that she can coulido every ' thought and desire of Iter heart to her uiotb- < cr, and the son is iu full sympathy and counsel with his father, there is little dan-1' ger that the happiness of the parents will be wrecked by the profligacy of their children. Many grown people sccrn to think there is no harm done in evading questions i asked by children, or in givinc such answers i as totally mislead and confuse them. This ( is a wol'ul mistake, and most disastrous con-1 sequences follow it. Truth never injures anybody, and though it uiay be diluted, so . to speak, when given to children, any falsehood mingled with it is deadly poison. The j ranks of fallen women in our great cities are ' largely recruited from the country. Hardy j dors any young woman knowing her danger bi'i'oinc identified with this unl<>rtiiuate class, and young men who have been forewarned by judicious parents of the alluring tempta tious which seek them out <01 every band arc toil wise to wander far from the paths ol virtue. A tea made of pouch leaves is a sure euro for kidney difficulty. 1 Jefferson Davis. ( Mr. Davis' speech before the Southern t Historical Society has elicited from the ( Northern and Southern press a great deal ol ] comment. The Radical papers are particu- t larly severe upon the views expressed by the 1 President of the late Confederacy. They j call Mr. Davis a traitor, aud denounce his j opinions as treasonable and well calculated ( to foment strife and disloyalty at the South. ] Some of our Southern papers are also cha- i grined at Mr. Davis' conduct, charging him t with always saying something at the wrong j time and in wrong place. Even that politi- | cal mountebank, fix-Senator Foote, comes to < the surface again, and belabors Mr. Davis y with a long tirade of abuse, alleging a spirit i of faction on his part which "will bring i morr detriment upon the long fluttering l South than fifty such uien as Mr. Davis t would be able to compensate in a century." I This is the veriest nousense. Mr. Davis is > a citizen of the United States, and as such r he has a right to express his opinions and a convictions as the editor of New York Timrs, < or the editor of the New York Tribune.? I This persistent denunciation of Southern i men for defending the principles for which t the South contended in the late struggle, is c not calculated to give the impartial uud un- v prejudiced mind a high estimate of Northern ] intelligence, valor or magnanimity. If to 1 pay a tribute to the dead Lee, to express t ldmiratiou for the valor of our men. and the d devotion and virtue of our women be trca- a wn, when such sentiments are expressed by t Jefferson Davis, then we fear the spirit of d treason is still rampant throughout the South, for the dead of the Lost Cause, and the living who wero indentified with it, will live in 0 the hearts of the people of the new South, j jven though this people and these States 5 may dwell forever under the folds of the old 0 lag, and the old Union as formed by the j Fathers of the Republic. That there exists a in any State of tho South any organized hos- | tility to the Government of the Uuited States ( is too absurd an idea to need refutation j that c any portion of our people are traitorously 2 inclined is a mischievous allegation which c bears upon its face its own refutation. Our ] people arc peaceable and law-abiding citi- t tens, zealously devoted to the cause of con- | ititutioiul governtnent?theoretically as well j as practically. At this time and for sometime t bo come, however, the cultufc: of cotton and t corn, the building of factories and mill and ^ workshops, the construction of railroads, and | the development of our coal fields and iron t mines, are most likely to command the earn- ] atlfeMioa of *11 cloow.'. of our pooplo. - , Onr Northern alarmists need, therefore, have | 110 fear that Mr. Davis, even if he desired t to do so, which he does not. can stir up trca- t Bon in the South. Mr. Davis 1ms a right to express his opinions, if he desires to do so, t upon the issues of the day, even though r they should put the whole pack of fanatical ; Vow Kn<rinnH \rholns to barkiner treason ! ' fc,v" "Mn* r * -- o treason !! ] Upon matters of history, connected with j. the inception, progress and downfall of the Southern Confederacy, it is eminently proper that the living representatives of the Lost Cause should be heard when occasion requires, and that a truthful narrative of the struggle for Southern independence ihould be given to the world. The time for the cowardly plea of policy in this respect. at least, has passed. To our mind, it shows bad taste and worse faith on the part )f Southern newspapers to join in this Northern hue and cry, begot ton of lien dish Irate, agaisst the fallen leader of the dead Confederacy. Away then with this slavish sycophancy and crainging hyp icrisy. Chronic It and Sentinel. From the Greenville Enterprise.

Thrilling Incident?Maj.. Englehard, f tho Wilmington Journal, writing from leaufort, N. C., under date of September th, gives a graphic decription of the perilus situation and narrow escape from drownng of a party of surf bathers on Thursday ftcrnoon. The party consisted of Captain i. 1). Graham, of Charlotte, Miss Lucy jruiou, oi .Newbern, and 31r. W. IS. Snort, f Waccamaw, with Miss Mary Roberts, of Newbern. The sea was runningjmach highr than usual, and tile bathers were often ifted up by the waves and tossed headlong 0 the shore. When nearly all tho bathers lad gone into the dressiug rooms, three roung gentlemen were seen still buffeting he waves, while far off the two couples lauied were seen drifting rapidly out towards the rocks. They made signals for iclp and tho young men on shore started to heir relief. Mr. If. B. Short, Jr , Master v B. Englchard and Master E. E. G. JRob rls st.-tried fur Culoii and Mr. Gra inm, who were being rapidly drawn into lie terrible current which rushes by tho ocks. Muster Roberts was struck by a tremenlous breaker and tkurled helpless upon the ocks. Mr. Short seized Miss Guion, while Raster Englehard. turned his attention to Mr. Graham, who was entirely exhausted. Vlr. Short's great strength enabled him to wim with the young lady, and taking advantage of the next wave, he made for the ocks and succeeded in reaching them.? Bearing the young lady in his arms, he climb;d to tire top. No sooner had he gained lie summit of the ledge than he was knock?d down and separated from his helpless 1 . I I A IA/...J.

Mr John Hughes had gone from the shore :n the rescue of Miss Huberts and Mr. Short, vhii had been bore beyond the lodge of the rocks. Mr. Hughes seized them and was rarried into the terrible current withjthem. In her alarm the young lady threw her arms iroutid the neck of Mr. Hughes, and both vent down together; in his struggle to free lirnsclf from her grasp they wCrc separated, lie then seized her by the hair just as she vns being carried into the inlet, and swiuining to shore, bore her apparently lifeless brui to a mound beyond the reach of the vaves. In the meantime, and after the ladies had jccu rescued, Master Kugelhard was still laboring faithfully to save Captain Graham, vho wa3 utterly helpless, being able neither o swiui nor to resist the force of the wave. Master Kugelhard had made one unsuccessful attempt to roseuo him, and had been ;hrown# with much forec upon the rocks. Plunging again into the waves, he caught Mr. Graham and struggled with him until ic was enabled to soizc the rocks. Unfortunately, Mr. Graham bad not the strength o bold on, and the next wave threw him icross the ledge into to the water beyond. Master Kugelhard again plunged in, and the iccond time brought him to the rocks, beng now himself tired and exhausted. The scene is described as one of the most ixciting possible character. liaiiy Byron.?A London Journal rejordstlie death of Elizabeth Mary, Dowager Lady Byron, an event which occurred at her oil's rectory, Kirby, Mallary, Leicestershire.
