and thus we snored and nodded away tbe nights ' and never were denied the doleful sere nades of lhe gangs of sneaking wolves ! that were nigbly perambulating our little : encampment and stationed at a safe dis lance from us at sun rise in the morning gazing at us and impatient to pick up j tiie crumbs and bones that were left when : vve moved away from our feeble fire that ! bad faintly flickered through the night i and in the absence of timber had been made of dried buffalo dung * * * i generally balled on the bank of some little stream at half an hour's sun where feed was good for charley and where i i could get wood to kindle my fire and wa j ter for my coffee the first thing was to ■ undress charley and drive down his pick et to which he was fastened to graze over a circle that he could inscribe at lhe end of his lasso in this wise be busily fed himself until night fall ; and after my coffee was made and drank i uniformly moved bim up with his picket by the head so lhat i could lay my hand upon his lasso in an instant in case of any alarm that was liable to drive him from me on one of these evenings when he was grazing as usual he slipped the lasso over his head and deliberately took his supper at his pleasure wherever be chose to prefer it as be was strolling around when night approached i took the lasso in hand and endeavored to catch him but i soon saw tbat he was determined to en joy a little freedom ; and be continually evaded me until dark when i abandoned the pursuit making up my mind that 1 should inevitably lose him and be obliged fo perform the rest of my journey on foot ue bad led me a chase of half a mile or more when i left him busily grazing and relumed to my little solitary bivouac and laid myself on my bear skin and went to sleep in the middle of tbe night i awaked whilst i was lying on my back and on half opening my eyes i was instantly shocked to the soul by the huge figure us i thought of an indian standing over me and in lhe very instant of taking my scalp the chill of horror lhat paralyzed me for lhe first moment held me slill till i saw there was no need of my moving — that my faithful horse charley had played shy till he had rilled his belly and had then moved up from feelings of pure af fection or from instinctive fear or possi bly from a due share of both and taken his position with his fore feet at the edge of my bed wiih his head hanging direct ly over me while he was standing fast asleep my nerves which had been most violently shocked were soon quieted and 1 fell asleep and so continued until sun rise in the morning when i waked and behold my faithful servant at some considerable distance busily at work picking up bis breakfast amongst lhe cant-brake along ihe bank of lhe creek i went as busily at work preparing my own which was eaten and after it 1 had another half hour of fruitless endeavor lo catch charley whilst he seemed mindful of success the evening before and con tinually tantalized me by turning around and around and keeping out of my reach i recolltc'.td lhe conclusive evidence of i bis attachment and dependence which he | had voluntarily given in the night and i i thought i would try them in another way so i packed up my things and slung the | saddle on my back trailing my gun in my j bund and started on my route after 1 p bad advanced about a quarter of a mile ' i looked back and saw him standing wiih bis head and tail very high looking alter nately at me and at lhe spot where i had ; been encamped and left a little fire burn | ing in this condition he stood and sur { veyed the prairies around for a while as i continued on he at length walked wiih a hurried step to the spot and seeing everything gone began to neigh very vio lently and at last started off al fullest j speed and overtook me passing within a lew paces of me and wheeling about at a few rods distant in front of me trem bling like an aspen leaf i called him by his familiar name and walked up to him wiih the bridle in my hand which i put over his head as he held it down for me and ihe saddle on his back as he actually stooped to receive it i was soon arrang ed and on his back when he started off upon bis course as if he was well content ed and pleased like his rider with the manoeuvre which had brought us togeth er again for the watchman a dream while sunk in sleep me thought i was suddenly transported to some foreign land and i found myself wandering m in a se questered glen in the middle of a beauti ful grove of orange trees on which the moon was shining with full splendor and which were at the same time loaded with sweet golden fruit and balmy silver flow ers in this elysian retreat i found sev eral persons reposing in the arms of mor pheus ; and as the idea occurred to me lhat when men were buried in sleep their souls might take the opportunity to leave iheir constrained abode in the human frame and to range at will in space i thought 1 might be able to observe the different dispositions of these men by the actions ot their spirits when thus left to act freely i determined therefore to watch lor them in a short time as i thought one made its appearance like a meteor of a bluish color and of a globu lar form this after hovering a short time over the body it had left moved away to a distant part of the grove : and loitering about there among the trees for a short time as if in quest of something it dart ed off to the orb of the moon with the speed ol thought i kept watch of it while it revolved about that luminary a few times and ihen it darted off again towards the stars and disappeared in tbe regions of space ; i saw it no more but concluded lhat this was lhe soul of some high minded noble man who when awake was fond of rais ing his thoughts above the motives of im j mediate gain and present gratification — j thai he had been accustomed to expand ! his mind by contemplating the grand dis j plays of creative energy in the worlds ; above us but on attending again to the i men sleeping in the grove i saw the soul of another rise in the same manner simi j ilar in appearance but exceedingly small i so much so that while for a few minutes it wandered about among tbe branches of the trees as if uncertain what direction to take i almost lost sight of it : but shortly it rose a lillle above the grove and slowly moved in a horizontal direction ; until it came over an open place where j it suddenly dropped to lhe ground out of sight i hastened to lhe spot to learn the cause ; and found it was caught in a ut ile iin box in the bottom of which was a sixpence placed there as a bait which in this case was too successful it is true in general that vve are not surprised at al most any thing in a dream : but i could not but feel amazed even in sleep at a man who would sell his soul for a sixpence ! i began to think bow dishonest that man must me and to what low arts he would descend to make money but when 1 was musing on the subject some one called to me and i awoke somnus education among the ancient romans translated from tacitus de oratoribus chaps 28 j 29 " who knows not thai eloquence and other arts have declined from their ancient renown i not from the scarcity of men but by lhe indo lence of youth lhe negligence of pareuls the ignorance of teachers and lhe forgetfulness of the practice of antiquity ? evils which first | springing up in the cily next having spread through italy have already affected the provin j ces : ihough ihose which are al home are best known lo us i will speak ot the city and of our own peculiar faults which children imme dialely fall inlo and which are increased as they advance in age ; bul i musl premise a few things concerning the rigid discipline ol our an cestors in training and educating iheir children then each man's son born wilhout a slain was educated not in the trust of a hired nurse but under lhe care and affection of the moth er ; whose highest praise was to keep house and attend to the children some aged female relative was also chosen r,f known character and metals lo whom all ibe children of lhe fa ! mily w»-re intrusted ; and l»«*f.>re whom they i were not allowed to sav anything unbecoming j i nor to do what appeared base and not only j did she direct their studies and tasks with de i corum and respeel but also iheir sports and ! plays so we learn thai cornelia the mother i of gracehi aurelia the mother of cuesar and | atia the mother of augustus rendered their | children men of the first rank by attending to i their instruction their rigid discipline had j this effect thai lhe disposition of pach boy be ing sound and uneorrupt and nol perverted by any bad habit should acquire with undivided at i ten tion useful knowledge and ihen whether ) they were inclined lo a military life or thesci i ence of law or the study of eloquence to lhal j ihey devoted themselves entirely but now the new born infant is committed to a little greek | maid o whom is added one or two among the i men servants generally the most worthless and \ unfit for any duty of importance immediately ; the tender and unformed minds of the children ■ are filled wilh all the tales and stories of these ; nor does any one in lhe whole house regard what he says or does before his infant master when even the parents themselves do not ac custom iheir lillle sons lo virtue and discretion but to jesting and shamelessness : by which gradually want of respeel and disregard both of themselves and of oihers creeps in now indeed the native and peculiar vices of this city seem lo me almost connatural ; such as lhe love of stage plays of shows and circus es : aud when the mind is occupied and filled with such things how little room is left for use ful studies ? how often can you find a man lhat will talk of anything else at home what oth er conversations of the striplings do we hear when we enter iheir school rooms even the teachers do not ofiner talk of anything else with their pupils for ihey obtain scholars not by good government and skilful experience hut by excessive courtesy and lhe arts of flattery thus we see what made great men at rome who raised her lo the greatest pitch of earthly greatness in eloquence arts and arms it was rigid menial discipline with all possible care of he morals of the youth : nor is it any wonder lhat when lhe practice of antiquity was forgotten ; and when corruption of morals be gan in the cradle : when lhe love of shows plays and circuses filled lhe mind in place of hose studies that fit it for the business of life that the legions of rome lhat had rushed to victory be fore were driven back wilh disgrace : lhat lit erature declined from lhe age of augustus ;
