WISDOM.
AIr. Editor; I saw a short commni
catiou in your paper of March 20tb,
signed “Springer’' and in answer write to j
his request, we will endeavor to j
on tbe subject of wisdom. We define
it to be the opposite of ignorance.;
We argue the subject by the effects; |
and then probably my friend can tell
what sort of an animal it is, as he is
perhaps, unacquainted with it.
In the days of Abraham, wills or;
testaments had their start; and in
those same days lands were possessed
chietiy by occupancy, and no stronger j
title bad they than this. And on down
till the days of the Goth’s, tbe Hun’s,,
and the Vandal's, was this scanty mode I
' of property; and cu and mi till rb«
| Foodaj customs wore established. Bm
i 10 make a long stride up to the preseut,
1see l quiring a and free bolding and glorious property—by plan ot ae
| the
power and skill of wisdom we possess
j the soil in fee-simple, or forever, under
! emioent dominion. It is by wisdom of
I ages that now gives us ail we have.
, - ■
. rd , lhe
j i and X possession, or t ,racuc0 of f ’ all re inheritance. f t0 riftbl It is
; wisdom that gives u all its beauiv.accu
lacy and duration. Wisdom has
the rules oy which property is gained
L the sc «eL ence r t U ;V of f T Agriculture: - th | 0S ° mi9 which t l pra l has “ g
e ' the lorest into fields, reduced
"ilderuesrs to pasture-, and estab
h .d towns and cities in the midst of
grains and grasses. No more moving
t om place to place, a.s in the days ot
old; no mote is the human race a mere mere
itinerant, or sort of wandering vaga
bond; no more do the people live like
pilgrims in a desert land. We look
back to too time of Muses, when learn
mg was young, even in its infancy, and
see what she has done Long ago,
books were scarce.as kings and priests;
and they that understood thorn, were
still scarier The Astronomers were
shepherds of no greater skill than
the natural eye. r i'ao uiathemeticians
were more counters of cubits on their
fingers. The historian's knowledge was
.hat ot Genesis and a tew verbal trad is
tions. I bo rhetorician’s power was
only that of a faint recollection, and
so on for all the branches of literature.
But iu the process of time, wesee books
by tbe millions, on every topic, and in
every tongue. Today the
descilbes the planetary worlds to a
mathematical certainty—can give a cor
rett account of the heavenly wondeis—
can foretell their effects on our world,
S3
without being called a witch, or sensur
ed as a heretic. To day the matbema
ticiau counts the sounds of tbe
shore—to day he can uumber the drops
of water in the ocean, and give the on
bio inches iu the globe; to day he gives
the distance and dimensions of the sun,
moon and stars. Now the historian
reads bis many books, and tells of the
thousands of events—now he reads a
nation's woes and a nation's glory In
their eyes It is now he lives through
a world of customs and of fashions in
i ono day. The rhetorician now selects
j from a host of poets, and picks out the
best expressions from a hundred writers,
and is assisted by the many authors, and
great speakers. To day he abounds in
golden phras s, and is full of silvery
sentences. To-day, ins language and
his subject harmonize—his wit and hu¬
mor are used at their proper intervals.
The geographer, may now talk of every
part of the globe; may give in detail
| “very river, lake, gulf and ocean, M--y
' particularize every island, cape, troun
j tain, state aud kingdom- May uauie
every village* town and city in the civ¬
ilized world. The Grammarian is in no
waut for grammars to aid him, nor the
daily uewa from the best speakers and
writers, Theio is now uo lack of rules
or leanness in syntax- The botanist
now sees a beauty in every plaQC and
herb, he now anaiizes them into their
several elements—can tell to what epe
cies it belongs, and to what soil it is best
adapted. He now sums up about fifty
thousand kinds of plants. What a field
for mental food and speculation. What
sources ot thought for the thinking
mind. And to the philosophic mind, how
boundless is the philosophy of the age.
'The pbylosopher cui tell of the many
laws of lhe several bodies. Gravitation,
adhesion and cohesion, are his common
place theories. He can readily explain
the law of hydraulics, hydrostatics and
mechanics for practical purposes. He
quickly explains the compouud forces
and the complex motions. The chemist
now has established his complicated
labratory; he understands the gases and
their several compositions and knows
their vitalityland destructlbilities. The
anatomist can tell the names of every
bone and mu cle in the human mruan body. Body..
He now can locate the ten thousands of
parts and parcels of man. The geolo¬
gist now explain the make up of the
earth and classify its substances. They
give name to the many species of min¬
erals, and tell their properties and bene¬
fits. To-day the onnothologist gives
name to all the .feathered tribes and de
lines their climate. u„ He can „„„ narrate
their beautiful colors and discourse
largely and learnedly of their several
of living, The ichthyologist
has become so skilled as to know all the
great tribes of fish aud discern their
mode of living—to locate their climates,
and classify them into farai ies- And
so on for all the various branches of
nature a d of art.
Theie was atm* when all these trains
of knowledge were unknown and UO
talked of. There was a time when
they had their orign, and their infancy,
Now we ask, what give rise to all these
things? 'To-day we see the world alive
with literature uponjevery thing. Books
abound in countless nunbers; they are
accessablo to every efiild and every
adult in the civilized world. Types
and printing have become a common
thing to every land. Newpapers are
sailing in every direction. It is now
that intelligence is carried troin one
country to another at lightning speed,
Commodities are exchanged with tbe

We need a school at Blairsville all tlio

All we need is more religion and educa¬

advances. Give us the refinement and
cultivation of the low counties, aud see
if they rival us, either mentally or mm
ally. We certainly have more to inspire
us with a desire for nobio action aud
glorious deeds. We can survey those
sublime old peaks, whose summits seem
to almost tough the deep blue vaults' f
heaven, or wander along tbe cool rush¬
