General Oglethorpe—Shall He Have a Monument 1 We extract the following from an Ad- dress delivered recently by Rev. Charles Wallace Howard, before the Young Men’s Christian Association, at Koine, Geo., and invite special attention to the subject: •• There is perhaps no prominent char acter in modern times to whom such par tial justice has been rendered, as to the t ion. Oglethorpe. As a people we, in this particular, have been deficient in duty.— There are grown men in the State, with some degree of education, who hardly know the name of its founder. There are youths in our academies and colleges, familiar with the lives of 1‘elnpidas and Epaminon- das, and other heroes of antiquity, who sc ireely know an incident in the life of the hero of their own State. It is a re proach to our system of education—it is a shame to us as Georgians. If there was a character in the history of either Massa chusetts, or South Carolina, who so stood apart from other men, as does Oglethorpe i.i our history, or to whom the people of those S ates owed as much as we owe to Oglethorpe, his name and his deeds, would he lisped by little children, and would he household words in every habitation in either common wealth. “ After Washington, the character of Oglethorpe is perhaps the most perfectly rounded, symmetrical and complete of any of the characters developed in American history. The remark is made with delib eration. and enquiry into its correctness is fearlessly invited. “An exalted position was assigned to Oglethorpe by his cotemporaries in Eng land. Hannah Moore, than whom a more sagacious or competent observer has not lived, pronounced him to "be “ the most remarkable man of bis time.” It was the good fortune of him who now addresses you, some years since, to meet with three of the distinguished women, who made part of that intellectual circle of which Johnson, Burke and Oglethorpe were or naments. It was a strange pleasure, con versing with those whom, in childhood, I had been accustomed to regard as belong ing to a former generation, and hearing them speak of historical persons as com panions, and of events in history as inci dents in their own observation. The es timate formed and expressed by those em inent women, concerning the character of Oglethorpe, coincided with that of Hannah Moore. Their competency to form a just judgment will not be doubted, when it is mentioned that they were Miss Burney, the authoress of Evelina, the Countess of Cork, and that extraordinary combination of masculine strength of mind, and depth of fcmeninc tenderness in a fragile body, Miss Joanna Bailie. It was also my good fortuuc to meet with two of General Ogle thorpe's domestics, husband and wife, both nearly a century old, who had grown gray in his service, and who, with faculties un impaired, spoke with almost idolatrous reverence of their former master. His memory in the village of Cranium was cherished as of a great and good man.— As a native of the State he had founded, it would hare given me pleasure to have been able to bring away some relic of 0- glcthorpe. But Cranhaaa Hall, the man sion he occupied, had been destroyed by fire. The property had passed into the hands of a sporting Baronet, a pupil of Mendoza, who had not preserved a papa 1 or record of his illustrious predecessor.— All that was there left of him was his grave in the little parish church. The character of the life of Oglethorpe, gave good reason for the high estimate of it by his cotemporaries. At 22 years of age he **s an ensign in the British army then one of the stall of Prince Eugene, and Bbuthg in the dangers of the terrible ca PMgns against the Twks, of that great captain—at 34 he became a member of men of Georgia, might be incited to ren- Parliament, notwithstanding, his youth at-; der a more perfect justice to his memory, tracted the attention and commanded the ; Why does no statue of Oglethorpe adorn respect of that distinguished body by the purity of his life, the soundness of his judgment and the force of his remarks.— n advance of Wilberforce, he originated .bat great reformation, which has wiped away a stain from the English law. To carry out his plans of benevolence, he abandoned the hope of distinction and pre ferment at home, and although offered a King’s sh$, entered the crowded vessel of the Colonists, landed them at Savannah, built Frederica, defended the infant settle ment against the overwhelming power of Spain—passed unprotected, through 300 miles of dangerous wilderness, to secure the friendship of the Indians at Coweta, and having established the colony, return ed to England receiving the honors of his countrymen, and the praises of its poets. “ Having been offered the command of the British army against the colonies when the Revolution commenced, the w«gds of his refusal should be engraved upon the memory of Americans, “I know the people of America well—they never will be sub dued by arms, but their obedience may be secured by doing them justice.” It may not be amiss in this connection to hazard the remark, that if the British Govern ment had been equally fortunate in the appointment of the governors of the other colonies, as in the first and last governors of Georgia, under the British rule, altho’ the separation was inevitable, that the bloodshed of the Revolution might have been spared. This remark naturally leads to another. The censure which has been passed upon the colony of Georgia for the reluctance with which it entered into the Revolutionary struggle, is not only an in justice. but this reluctance should be sub ject of praise rather than censure: Thank less must have been our ancestors, if they could have forgotten their obligation to the mother countiy. Stern, indeed must have been the sense of duty, Roman the virtue, which at last induced them to take up arms. I have ventured upon this mo mentary digression to do an act of justice to the memory of our forefathers, as in the history of that day the peculiar isolated position of Georgia, is not sufficiently re membered. “ To return to Gen. Oglethorpe. As a military man, his genius is undoubted.— As a man of letters the most distinguished in tiie world of letters have assigned him a high rank. As a philanthropist, what greater distinction than that conveyed by l)r. Johnson, who says, when giving an account of his first interview with Ogle thorpe, “ I was not a little flattered to be thus addressed by an eminent man, of whom I had read in Pope from my early years, “ Or, driven by a strong benevolence of soul, Will llv like Oglethorpe from pole to pole.” “ It is seldom that so many admirable qualities have been united in one man- soldier, scholar, statesman, philanthropist and Christian. “To do honor to the unusual excellence of this character, the proprietor of the “Gentleman’s Magazine, ’ offered as the first of four prizes to be given for the four best poems, entitled the Christian Hero, a gold medal, having on one side the head of Lady Elizabeth Hastings, and on the other, the head of Oglethorpe, with the motto, “England against the world.” It is worthy of remark, that both these illus trious persons, selected from two sexes, as the brightest instances of moral excellence in each, should have chiefly attained this distinction through their active interest in the then remote and obscure Province of Georgia. “Even during his life it was deemed ap propriate to engrave upon gold, the name and features of Oglethorpe, to assist in per petuating the memory of his noble deeds, and to invite others to imitate them. Time is usually required in order to do justice to the character of distinguished men.— The querulousness of petty complaints,— the sallies of peevish temper, the designs of interested rivalry, cease to. affect the public mind, and it is able to judge justly. In tlfe. accomplishment of the wise and be nevolent plans of Oglethorpe, the little colony planted by him has grown into 3 great States, now controlling by means of their chief product the monetary affairs of the Kingdom, to whose philanthropy it owes its existence: More than a century has elapsed since the settlement at Savan nah. The character of Oglethorpe is now matter of history. However strong the un usual appreciation of it by cotouporaries, posterity has not done justice to it The prophecy of the poet is unfulfilled. “Tby great evple shall thro’ ages shine, A favorite theme with poet and divine; People unborn thy merits shall proclaim. And add new booors to thy deathless name.” It remains for this generation to verify the prediction. “While prr—ti»g4he Bfc of Oglethorpe as an illustration sf Turn Manlmwn, and hksxampla as ana 4a ha imitated, it has also here with Hw hops that the young the grounds of the Capital 1 Do Massa chusetts, Virginia, Pennsylvania and South Carolina, owe more to Webster, Jefferson, Franklin and Calhoun, than we owe tf Oglethorpe ? Is Georgia poorer or les. grateful than those States ? Will not the Young Men’s Christian Associations of the State, take measures to consummate this act of becoming homage, to the memory of the great man, whose life was an illus tration and an embodiment of those virtues which it is the purpose of these Associa tions to diffuse and perpetuate ? Will not co-operation in a design so grand, tend to bring these scattered Associations more nearly together, and thereby, augment their effective power for good ? Will not the Association which I have the honor to address, take the initiatory step ? There is a fitness and propriety in the sugges tion, that the young men of Rome should lead in the movement, to erect a statue to the Romulus of Georgia. “ The moral effect of such a testimonial would be admirable. It would exhibit the model by which the young men of Geor gia desire to form their own manly char acters. It would proclain to our youth as they are attracted towards our Legislative halls, the noble elements which are need ful in Georgia History to make men im mortal. Fronting the Capital, it would daily meet the eyes of our Legislators, and the calm excellence of the character, thus exhibited, its entire consecration to the best interests of man, the impress given by it to the policy of the State, “ Non *ibi ted alii*," would rebuke the selfish ambi tion of the demagogue, soften the asperi ties of party strife, awaken a general em ulation in noble deeds, and exert a pow erful influence towards the production of an enlarged patriotism. “What office more grateful to the young men of the several counties of the State, than to furnish massive blocks of the rocks peculiar to them, as the base of such a structure? What purity of character in tnan more suited to the snowy marble of Carara ? What subject more worthy the genius of Powers, than (surmounting the whole,) a collossal statue of the Christian Hero, who gave liberty to the prisoner, a defence to the persecuted and existence to a great commonwealth.” A Reporter’s Joke. Morgan O’Sullivan, an Irishman, and a celebrated Parliamentary reporter, attach ed to the London Morning Chronicle some fifty years ago, was as remarkable for his humor as his professional ability. When ever any one offended Morgan, or got out or favor with him, he invariably retaliated in the way of some practical joke, that generally placed his antagonist in a very ridiculous position, and afforded the hu morist satisfaction. In this way he once “ got even” with two individuals at the same time, who had excited his ire, name ly, the celebrated Wilberforce, then a lea ding member of the opposition in Parlia ment, and one Jack Finnerty, a parlia mentary reporter of the Morning Herald. Finnerty was fresh from Tipperary, and quite unacquainted with the characterist ics of the different members of Parliament but he received a good deal of generous professional assistance at the outset of his career, from Morgan O’Sullivan. On the occasion now referred to, Finnerty came into the reporters’ gallery, at a period of the night when the debates seemed to have slackened ; he concluded to take a doze on one of the benches, and requested his friend to wake him up if anything lively came before the bouse, and thereupon went off to sleep. Presently, Mr. Wilber force got upon his legs, and addressed a very thrilling speech before the house. As he progressed, a mischievous idea seized Morgan O’Sullivan, which, as soon as Wilberforce sat down, he proceeded to put in practice thus: Rousing Finnerty from his slumber on! the bench, O’Sullivan exclaimed, “Jack, Wilberforce has just made an extraordina ry speech.” “ What about f returned Finnerty, rubbing his eyes. “ About the potato; the effect of it on national vivacity,—the great virtues of it as an article of popular diet; proved that i the finest kind of men were’ reared on it, j far superior to the English.” “ Wilberforce said that, did he?” ex*I claimed Finnerty; “ come let me take his remarks in full from your notes.” “ With pleasure, my dear fellow,” re- • plied' O’Sullivan, who commenced as if’ reading from a note book, whilst Finncr-j ty eagerly wrote alter him in the follow- j ing vein: “Mr. Wilberforce then emphatically ! remarked, that it always appeared to him i beyond question, that the great cause why | the Irish laborers, as a body, were so much j stronger, and capable of fotigne than the j English arose from the surpassing virtues i of their potato. . 1 “ That’s what I call eloquence,” inter-j ranted Jack PimwKv. ( Morgan resumed. “And I have no doubt I (continued Mr. Wilberforce) that had it been my lot to have been born and rearedj in Ireland, where my food would have I principally consisted of that inestimable root, instead of being poor, infirm, shriv elled and stunted creature you, sir, and honorable gentlemen now behold me, I would have been a stout, athletic, hand some man, able to carry an enormous weight “Well done, Wilberforce,” cried Jack, rubbing his hands in high glee; “go on Morgan.” O’Sullivan then proceeded in the same vein of pathos and absurdity, but adroitly keeping within the bounds, that Finncr- ty’s credulity would swallow, until he had placed a most whimsical speech in the mouth of the grave and earnest W ilbcr- force. Finnerty, with many expressions of thanks to his brother reporter, started for the Herald office. On his way, turning into a tavern close by the House of Commons, where a num ber of reporters of the different morning papers were regaling themselves, here Jack furnished them all with copies of “ Wilberforce’s Speech,” and the hoax found its way the next morning into eve ry paper in London, with the exception of the Morning Chronicle, to which, as a matter of course, the correct report was furnished by O'Sullivan. The public were astounded at the extraordinary speech which, according to all the papers, Mr. Wilberforce had made, and the general opinion was expressed that he was a can didate for Bedlam. The following even ing, on the speaker taking the chair, Wil berforce rose and claimed the indulgence of the house. “ Every honorable member,” he observ ed, “ has doubtless read the speech which I am represented as having made on the previous night. With the permission of the house I will read it” (Here the Hon orable gentleman read the speech amidst deafening roars of laughter.) “ I can as sure honorable members that no one could have read this speech with jnore surprise than I myself did this morning, when I found the paper on the breakfast table.— For myself, personally, 1 care but little about it, though, if I were capable of ut tering such nonsense as is here put into my mouth, it is high time that, instead of being a member of this house, I were an inmate of some lunatic asylum. It is for the dignity of this house that 1 feel con cerned, for if the honorable members were capable of listening to such nonsense, sup posing me capable of giving expression to it, it were much more appropriate to call this a theatre for the performance of far ces, than a place for the legislative delib erations of the representatives of the peo ple.” This was only one of the many instan ces in which Morgan O’Sullivan paid off, to his heart’s content, members of Parlia ment and other potential personages, who had, in some manner or other, provoked the waggisli propensities of this incurable humorist Dieadfol Accident to a Lion. The Cleveland Plaindcaler tells of a fear ful accident in Van Amburgh’s menagerie. Some of the new keepers commenced to torment the lion. Wishing to hear him roar, the brutes spit tobacco juice into his eyes. This thoroughly maddened him, and his frenzy was terrific. The lion made a tremendous dash against the cage bars —they gave way—he cleared the cage with a bound, and sprang for the affright- c<kwretch on the pole. In the blindness of his rage the lion missed the man, strik ing his own head against the pole, and splitting himself from head to tail. It was done as evenly as though he had been sawed by an experienced mechanic. The uproar brought Mr. Van A inburgh to the spot The emergency required prompt ness. This was no time for reflection or argument Seizing the cleaved parts of the lion, the “ great tamer” clapped them instantly together. They stuck, and the lion was soon restored to consciousness.— But imagine Van’s agony when he saw that he had put the lion together in the wrong way ; that two of the animal’s legs were up and two down! But the lion got well, and seems to enjoy himself better than ever. When he gets tired of walk ing on two legs he flops over on the other two. He is said to be a curious looking lion. How to Train a Prize Fighter, Australian Kelly is in training for a prize fight at Coney Island. A sporting paper shows how the man is physically trained to make a brute of himself It is interesting as a sketch of muscular devel opment : In the morning Kelly rises exactly at 4 o'clock, proceeds to the sea shore, (not 50 yards from the house) and takes a bath; returns and goes to bed for three quarters of an hour. Up again at 5 o'clock, wash es ^ut the mouth with cold water, par takes of the usual sherry and egg, walks three quarters of a mile—returns home at 8 o’clock, gets rubbed dry and is sponged from head to foot with spring water—an entire change of clothes is put on and he decends to breakfast at half-past 8, which is composed of either calves-foot jelly, beef steak or mutton chops, with water bis cuit instead of toast, as the latter dries up the blood. Water gruel is substituted for tea on account of its nervous tendency and sugar as promoting bile—tea and su gar also create thirst, while gruel does not. An hour’s rest is then enjoyed, alter which he starts on a fourteen mile walk—seven put and seven in. In walking, he carries the newly intro duced lead plugs, two pounds weight, grasping them firmly and keeping the arms well up. The object is to strength en the muscles of the arms, and to enable him to keep his in position without fa tiguc. In a protracted fight it is general ly from weakness, or inability to use the arms with any force that the battle is lost To avoid these things, it is as necessary to attend to the most minute points as it is to Jhe more important ones. At 12J o’clock, after being rubbed, sponged and re-dressed, dinner is ready; it consists of beef or mutton with water ^biscuit. In place of the water gruel, beef tea (made from a shin of beef without any mixture) is taken with the dinner. It serves eith er for food or drink, some never taking anything at all with it Another hour’s rest, and the afternoon is employed with the dumb-bells (which weigh from 6 to 14 lbs) fighting the bag (this, together with the bells consumes three hours every day) and gymnastic exercises. Changed, rubbed, and sponged again, when the supper is read}'. For this two eggs are allowed, with water biscuit and gruel. Another resting spell and an hour or two’s rowing or four-mile walk, and jumping the skipping rope generally ends the day’s work. In some days more work is performed than others, according as the gentleman feels inclined ; but the average walking is from 21 to 24 miles a day.— The meals are served to the minute, and a certain quantity only allowed at each. At precisely 8 o’clock he retires for the night, to rise at 4. His sleeping apart ments are kept pure and healthy by the sea breeze continually passing through, and the house itself and surrounding coun try for 20 miles, seem adapted by nature for training purposes. When Mr. Kelly went into training his weight was about 168 lbs. It is now re duced to 156. His fighting weight will be about 148.

Freemasonry, I admit, has its secrets.— It has secrets peculiar to itself; but of what do these principally consist ? They consist of signs and tokens, which serve as testimonials of diameter and qualifica tion, which are only conferred after a due course of instruction and examination.— These are of no small value; they speak a universal language, and act as a pass port to the attention and support of the initiated in all parts of the world. They cannot be lost so long as memory retains its power. Let the possessor of them be expatriated, shipwrecked or imprisoned; let him be stripped of everything he has got in the world, still these credentials re main, and are available for use as circum stances may require. The good elects which these have produced are establish ed by the most incontestible facts of his tory. They have stayed the uplifted band of the destroyer; they have softened the asperities of the tyrant; they have miti gated the horrors of captivity; they have subdued the rancor of malevolence, and broken down -the barrier of political api- mosity and sectarian alienation. On the field of battle, in the solitude of the un cultivated forest, or in the busy haunts of the crowded city, they have made men of most hostile feelings, the most distant re* gions, and the most diversified conditions, rush to the aid of each other, and feel spe cial joy and satisfaction that they have been able to afford relief to a brother me son.—Benjamin Franklin.

The Education Most Heeded.—Learn to Labor. The question is often asked, why is it that so few people are successful in busi ness, and why property finds such an un equal distribution ? This man, they say received the advantages of a good English education, and that man was educated at Hifalntim. Perhaps the following may not amuse cither yourselves or your readers, but it did me. In our drug store I have a fellow- clerk, somewhat celebrated among his ac quaintances as a conductor of puns and the utterer of dry jokes.

All this was so quietly, so politely said, that, although amused beyond expression at the conversation, we started in wonder at the parties.

Searing Children. It is a great fashion among many class- ses of people, and especially with mischie vous boys and girls, to frighten children for the purpose of laughing at them in their terror. This is one of the most in jurious ordeals through which the inno cents have to pass on their journey to manhood or womanhood. The prepara tion of their minds for these evil conse quences, begins as soon as they have mind enough to understand words. .Stories of witches, ghosts and goblins, are the main food of.the budding mind, and the little body quakes before the story begins for fear of what is to come. This fear being implanted in the tender soil of childhood's ron, attribute the cause to the accidental introduction into the draught you have just taken of some drug of vigorous effect and painful consequence.
