The Transmission of Talent.
Fathers and Sons---Surroundings
Develo^e Men.
BT B. M. O.
We have read quite an interesting article in
the New York Times abont the great families of
Massachusetts, viz:—The Adams’, Quincys’, Ev
eretts’, Winthrops’, Danas', Websters’, Long
fellows’, Holmes’, Hancocks,’Grays’, and others;
and the question is asked—are the great fami
lies disappearing?
There is such a thing as the transmission of
genius and talent, and where there are talents
of decided order or genius of a peonliar kind,
like hereditary diseases, they oan be traced
through several generations. There are cer
tain fixed laws of physiology that every one
should know and fully comprehend; but not
one man or woman out of ten thousand know
anything about such laws, and if they do, pay
but little if any attention to them.
Thousands of men pay more attention to the
raising of fine horses, cows, bogs,chickens, etc.;
and bring more thought to bear on the subject
than they do in the selection of a wife for them
selves, or in the advising of their children who
and who not to marry. We are told that love is
blind, and it is very blind in the matter of mat
rimony, and no thought is ever given as to fu
ture results in the birth and rearing of chil
dren.
The laws of physiology and phrenology, of
temperaments and disposition are utterly disre
garded. A man courts the woman who impres
ses him, never taking into consideration her pe
culiar temperament. The same with a woman;
she marries the man who courts her, for she is
complimented by his attention. The parties
are young, and the only reason they can give for
marrying is, they love each other, and when the
fever passion of love is upon them, they are
simply love crazy, it is a clear oase of amoma-
nia, and there is no reasoning with it. Hope
and belief does the work for them. In each
other’s eyes they will always be happy and well
matched.
MARRIAGE.
After a marriage of about six months, the par
ties begin to think they were not ‘cut out’ for
each other; that their 'tempers’ don’t agree—
temperaments are what they mean; that there is
no unity or affinity of feelings between them,
and their love begins to cool into indifference,
dislike, and actual hate of each other many
times; and the longer they live together, the
greater grows the dislike and incompatibility of
disposition.
CHILDREN.
The result of such marriages are, children
with cross-gained, abnormal and incongruous
temperaments. There is not much love in the
family, and none of that marked filial affection
which should exist as between parents and chil
dren, brother and sister. Perhaps two very good
miDds, are lost to the world, in giving to the
world, children who do not inherit the strong
and good points of either parent It is like the
mixing of two colors which produce another
color not as desirable as either of the original
colors. Inharmonious temperaments beget in
harmonious children.
RESULTS.
When two temperaments happen to agree,
when there is a natural affinity between man
and wife, there is a growing likeness between
them the longer they live together; they seem
to have been just ‘cut out’ for each other; and
well organized and well developed children
mentally and physically, will bless such onions.
Harmony, peace, love, kindness, and strong
family affections will be the characteristics of
such a family.
Thus, a man or woman may be of decided
ability, or decided talents, with a gift of genius,
but if married to a woman or man whose temper
ament does not suit or harmonise, or whose men
tality is ordinary, no great results oan be look
ed for in the children. There will be none of
that development and progressivesss which
will stamp the son or daughter as great or as
able as father or mother. There will be inferi
ority instead of superiority iu the children, a
going backwards instead of a higher develop
ment. Bat harmonise two fine minds, and the
children will be naturally smart, of fine temper
aments and fine organizations.
HARMONY AND NATURE.
Thus, two average minds, harmoniously unit
ed in marriage, will beget sons and daughters
superior to themselves. It will be the develop
ment of better minds, the children will inherit
the united qualities of both parents. Like be
gets like, and where there is harmony preserved
in nature's laws, there is development and pro
gress. The laws of physiology are wonderful,
beautiful, and startling when known and fully
understood. Nature is never given to abortions,
monstrosities, er accidents; tnere are no Provi
dential interferences or afflictions, and when
such things occur, some nice law of nature has
been violated, and nature says to us through her
violated laws, look out, examine yourselves, in
vestigate and use your reason, for there can be
no effect without a cause. You have sinned, but
sinned ignorantly in violating some of my laws
GREAT MEN.
Great men will have great sons, if they marry
the right kind of women; but there must be
mental harmony as well as temperaments. We
admit that certain surroundings, circumstances,
necessities, advantages and opportunities have
much to do in aiding and developing character.
Necessity is not only the mother of invention,
but it is many times the incentive to active
mental exertion, and that activity is transmitted
to others. The man who inherits wealth, will
never have the same thoughts of his father, who
worked and toiled, planned and schemed, labor
ed and denied himself that he might accumulate.
The wealthy son may have all the brains of the
father, but there will not be the same necessity
or incentive to exercise them. He is the devel
oped gentleman from the hard working mechan
ic or laborer. He is a better man than his father,
for his father gives him better advantages.
Again, a man may be a great lawyer, doctor,
mechanic, or merchant.- but the son may prefer
to follow some other calling which will not bring
out the strong points which characterized the
father. The father may be ambitious and aspir-
ing while the son has no inclination that way.
The father takes a field that keeps him before
the public; the son may choose a more quiet
life. One gives to the public one set of talents,
the other, another set Thus three brothers all
intellectually equal, may choose different call
ings in life. There oan be no comparison, for
they are not occupying the same field of thought.
The soldier, the lawyer or planter, oannot be
compared to each other, yet, all three are great
in their professions.
but mother, and the combination happily
created great men.
TRANSMISSION.
Again, the father or mother can transmit to
the child, prenatal, their very thoughts, desires
and passions, and the child will be born with
marked tastes, or dislikes, inclinations or
talents.
Like causes produce like results, and circum
stances, necessities, etc., will ever call into play
latent genius or talents. No man will hardly
for the pleasure of the thing walk ten miles
when he haB a horse to ride, and especially, if
his father gave him the horse for his comfort.
The father may have had to walk ten miles time
and again because he was then too poor to own
a horse. The son’s legs are as strong as his
father’s but he does not see the necessity of
using them on such a journey when he has the
means to ride.
The question is often asked, if rich men’s
sons are not degenerating? No, not necesssari-
ly so, unless they be given to an evil and luxu
rious life, and are destroying themselves by fast
living. Vice degenerates both rich and poor
alike, whilst a due attention and regard for na
ture’s laws promises long life to those who will
regard them even unto the children of the fourth
and fifth generation, if not longer.
Parents can transmit their taste for drink, or
any other taste to their children. Passions are
easily transmitted, likes and dislikes are trans
mitted, and high states of exoitement are trans
mitted; and thus many times, we see genius
and idiocy born in the same family; normal
and abnormal children; well balanced and rick
ety children. Study the laws of physiology,
and all is plain, for nature stands vindicated
though W6 ourselves be fools.
What is Portaline?
This question is thus briefly and truthfully
anpwered. Portaline, or Tabler’s Vegetable Liv
er Powder, derives its name from the fact that it
regulates those portals of the body through
which the most dangerous diseases make their
entrance into the human system. Simple roots
and herbs, for which we are indebted to bounti
ful nature, have been scientifically combined,
and presented as a cure to all suffering with
Constipation, Biliousness, Dyspepsia, and all
diseases arising from a torpid liver. Price 50

Take that Buckeye out of Your Pocket!
Now that the medical properties of the Buck
eye are clearly established, and utilized for the
cure of Piles, why not make a direot application
of its healing virtues in the form of T .bier’s

preparation is made from the alkaloid of the
Buckeye, or Horse Chestnut, and, combined
with other ingredients, is offered to the public
as a cure for nothing else but Piles. Price 50

TESTIMONIAL.
The success which the Kenmore High School has
achieved under the energetic and conscientioua admlnis-
stration of the Principal and his able Assistant, and the
preparation and training of its pupils, who have entered
the University of Virginia, have fully justified the recom
mendations of this excellent school to the public, at its
beginning. I regard it as a very successful educational
foundation, ar.d I trust it will continue for many year to
do its good work for our State and country.
