BY I.. WETIIERELL 
EDUCATION OF IDIOTS. 
The word idiot is applied to a class of 
persons differing considerably from each oth¬ 
er in point of capacity or susceptibility of 
mental and moral improvement. A writer 
in the British and Foreign Medical Review, 
thus defines idiocy: “ Idiocy is a disor¬ 
dered state of the nervous system, owing 
to which there is no regular command of 
the Avill over all or part of the organs and 
faculties of the child, Avho is guided by his 
instincts, and cut off from the moral world. 
The type of an idiot (an ideal idiot;) is an 
individual Avho knoAVS nothing, wishes noth¬ 
ing, and can do nothing, and every idiot ap¬ 
proaches more or less to this summum of 
incapacity.” 
From the ideal idiot as here defined, up 
to Newton, Avho possessed intellectual ca¬ 
pacity of the highest order, may be found 
every shade and variety of mental poAver 
or manifestation of mind. And it is not al¬ 
ways easy for those Avho are conceded to be 
compos mentis to decide exactly where the 
line should be draAvn so as to divide betAveen 
the compos and the non-compos mentis .— 
Of the latter, or of those denominated Id¬ 
iots there Avere Avithin the State according 
to the census of 1845, 1620, which is sup¬ 
posed to be far short of the real number. 
The Governor says in his late message: 
“ The success which has attended the ef¬ 
forts of late years to resuscitate the mind 
of the Idiot, and to elevate him in the scale 
of human beings, has demonstrated, at least 
Avith sufficient certainty to call for the active 
Jiid of the State, that these unfortunate crea¬ 
tures, the most afflicted as a class, of all 
Avhom the heavy dispensation of a Divine 
Providence has visited, are susceptible with¬ 
in definite limits of mental and physical de¬ 
velopment and improvement. 
The State has already recognized the ob¬ 
ligations resting \ipon it, to provide for the 
education of all its children, and has made 
liberal provision for the education of those 
deprived of the organs of sight, and of 
hearing and speech, cis Avell as for the im- 
proA'ement and reclamation of the lunatic.— 
The efforts of the Legislature should not be 
intermitted until they have secured to all 
classes and conditions such an education as 
they may be capable of receiving, and may 
qualify them for the duties pertaining to 
their respective pursuits and conditions in 
life. 
The nAimber of Idiots exceed that of eith¬ 
er the blind or the deaf and dumb. While 
the State has made liberal proAusion for the 
care and education of the latter, it ha« done 
nothing for the improvement of the Idiot. 
The parents and friends of the many hun¬ 
dred Idiots in the State, seek in vain, a ref¬ 
uge, or a school, Avhere their afflicted chil¬ 
dren or friends may be protected or made 
useful. The reason is doubtless to be found 
in the strong impression Avhich has prevail¬ 
ed, that notliing could be done for the im¬ 
provement of the Idiot. This impression 
must, hoAvever, now be confined to those 
Avho are not Avilling to receive the evidence 
of Avhat has been successfully accomplished. 
He has been taught to articidate, and to 
talk distinctly, and to bring his passions and 
appetites into subjection; he has been in¬ 
structed and made to read, to Avrite, and to 
sing, and to exercise mechanical labor and 
skill in various trades. These results in¬ 
duce me to recommend the establishment 
by the Legislature of an Asylum and school 
for Idiots, on such a scale and terms of 
endoAvment as your Avisdom may deem 
best” 
The State has provided ample means for 
the education of the blind, and the deaf 
and dumb — also Houses of Refuge for re¬ 
claiming and reforming juvenile vagrants 
and criminals —this is all well— Avhy, then, 
longer resist the call of humanity demand¬ 
ing an Institution for the education of the 
Idiot 
The Report of M. Seguin, Avho Avas en¬ 
trusted Avith the education of the young Id¬ 
iots in the Paris liospiUd, has demonstrated 
beyond a doubt, that a large portion of this 
unfortunate chiss may be educated so far as 
to be able to take care of themselves and 
to become conscious of happiness and plea¬ 
sure resulting from mental action. The 
same has been demonstrated in Massachu¬ 
setts, both by the government of the State 
and by private enterprise. We visited one 
of these institutions last summer, establish¬ 
ed by, and under the direction of Dr. Wil- 
cuK, in Barro, Worcester county. Mass., and 
Avere highly entertained Avith an exhibition 
of the results produced in a short time up¬ 
on children, that, Avhen the Doctor received 
them, did not possess the power of Avill to 
originate an intellectual or moral action. 
the recommendation of the GoA'ernor Avill 
be acted upon during the present session of 
the Legislature, and that before it adjourns 
provision shall be made for the education of 
the Idiots Avithin our State. We mio-ht o-q 
O O 
on and gR-e M. Seguin’s mode of treatment, 
his plan of educating* the .senses, <fcc. Ac., 
if our limits Avoidd allow; Ave deem it, how¬ 
ever, unnecessary to do so, for the fact that 
the Idiot is susceptible of .some degree of 
educational training is as Avell established as 
any fact in Mental or Moral Philosophy. 
Let petitions, then, be sent in by the peo¬ 
ple to the Legislature asking for the imme¬ 
diate establishment of “an Asylum and 
School for Idiots.” 
THE NORTH-WESTERN PASSAGE. . 
A GEOGRAPHICAL LESSOK. 
Now THAT the eyes of all scientific and 
all humane men are turned toAvards the lit¬ 
tle company who started more than four 
years ago to settle, if possible, the question 
as to the possibility of passing from the At¬ 
lantic to the Pacific Ocean, north of this 
continent,— the teacher may make a most 
interesting lesson, by taking a large Outline 
Map, and pointing omt to his class the pro- 
g^ljis of discovery in that quarter. In this 
way, every part of the Avorld should bo laid 
before the pupils, and repeatedly described 
until every point of interest is familiar to 
them. It is of but little use to commit to 
memory a history or description of such 
things, unless they are impressed upon the 
mind by reference to the maps, and by re¬ 
iterated conversations and questions. 
Let the teacher hang up the map of the 
Eastern Hemisphere, and have a familiar 
talk, somoAvhat after this manner. The ob¬ 
ject of endeavoring to find a passage north 
of Europe and Asia, or north of America, 
is to shorten the A'oyage to the East Indies. 
Columbus discoA'ored the Western Contin¬ 
ent in endeavoring to do the same thing; 
for, just before his A'oyages, some Portuguese 
navigators had sailed around the southern 
part of Africa, and had gL'cn as gloAving des¬ 
criptions of the Avealth of the Indies as are 
now given of the golden regions of Cali¬ 
fornia. Columbus discoA'ered land, and, as 
he had sailed AvestAvard, the islands he dis- 
coA^ered Avere called the West Indies, be¬ 
cause they Avere supposed to belong to the 
same region Avhich had been found by sail¬ 
ing in an easterly direction, and Avhicli had 
been called the East Indies. Other naA-- 
igators soon settled the fact that there Avas 
no passage through the Western Continent, 
and the passage round Cape Horn was no 
nearer than that round the Capo of Good 
Hope; and both of these routes Avere con¬ 
sidered A'ery dangerous, although the larger 
A'essels and better navigation of the mod¬ 
erns have made these southern A'oyages as 
safe and ea.sy as any others, and infinitely 
less dangerous and painful than those by 
the northern routes of Avhich Ave are now 
•to speak. 
The fii-st attempt to reach India by the 
north Avas made fii 1553, by two English¬ 
men, Willoughby and Chancellor, north of 
the Eastern Continent. Willoughby reach¬ 
ed NoA'a Zembla, and there he and his creAv 
Avere all frozen to death. Chancellor reach¬ 
ed no further than the White Sea. This ill 
success induced the navigators to try the 
other route, and Davis discovered the Strait 
that bears his name. Baffin, another Eng¬ 
lishman, penetrated through Davis’ Strait 
into the Bay Avhich is named Baffin’s, in his 
honor. Hudson spent much time in en¬ 
deavoring to find the nortliAvest passage, but 
though Hudson’s Bay and Strait Avere nam¬ 
ed after him, it is by no means certain that 
he discovered either of them. His crew' 
tied his hands behind him, and set him 
adrift in a boat, Avhere he perished Avith 
hunger and cold. It is knoAvn that Hudson 
Avent as far north as the 81st degree of lat¬ 
itude, Avhieh is about three times as for from 
the North Pole as Boston is from Albany. 
In 1778, Capt. Cook attempted the discov¬ 
ery from the other side of North America. 
He entered Bhering’s Strait, and advanced 
as far as Icy Cape, but Avas obliged to put 
back. The American Avhalers have often 
A'isited Baffin’s Bay, and have probably gone 
as fill- as any one in the passages leading to 
the Arctic Ocean, but their discoveries have 
not been published. In 1827, Capt. Parry 
Avas sent by the British gOA’ernment to reach 
the Pole, in boats and sledges draAvn by dogs, 
after the custom of the Esquimau.x. He 
reached as high as 82 degrees, 40 minutes, 
or about as near to the Polo as Boston is to 
Buffalo, but ho gave up the attempt Avhen 
he found that, although he traveled soA'eral 
miles nortliAvard every day, he did not ad¬ 
vance an inch, for the Avhole body of ice 
drifted as many miles towards the south, 
tluis rendering his labor entirely useless.— 
This, hoAA'over, though an interesting at¬ 
tempt, had little to do Avith the nortlfAvest 
passage, for it aa'rs made, if avc remember 
rightly, Avest of Greenland. 
In 1818, Capt. Ross passed through Lan¬ 
caster Sound. In 1819, Capt. Parry tried 
again, and proceeded AvestAvard to the 110th 
degree of longitude, Avintering at Melville 
Island. In 1821-23, he examined the 
coast north of Hudson’s Bay, and found it 
cut up into islands, many of which have not 
yet been surveyed. In 1824, he discover¬ 
ed Prince Regent’s Inlet In 1820, Capt. 
Franklin, the same Avho is noAV missing, was 
sent overland from Canada to Mackenzie’s 
RiA'er, from Avhose mouth ho Avas to travel 
AvestAvard, until ho met another expedition, 
under Capt. Beechey, Avhich h;# been des¬ 
patched by the Avay of Bhering’s Strait.— 
The two companies approached Avithin about 
one hundred and fifty miles of each other, 
but not knoAving this, Avere obliged to re¬ 
turn. In 1829-33, Capt. Ross explored 
Prince Regent’s Inlet, and ascertained that 
there Avas no passage betAvoen the Arctic 
Ocean and Hudson’s Bay. BetAveen four 
and five years ago, Sir John Franklin led a 
nOAv expedition to examine the one hundred 
and fifty miles that he and Capt. Beechey 
had left unexamined in 1826. The tAvo 
vessels Averc not heard from after they reach¬ 
ed Baffin’s BaA'; and at the end of 3 j'cars, 
Capt. Ross gallantly offered to go in search 
of them by sea, Avhile Sir John Richardson, 
Avho had been in former expeditions, volun¬ 
teered to go by the overland route previ- 
ously gone over by Capt. Franklin. Sir John 
returned about a year ago unsuccessful; 
and Capt. Ross, after tAvo years search in 
vain, returned to England a fcAV months ago. 
The little strip between Icy Cape and Point 
Beechey is still unex-plored, and the fate of 
Sir John Franklin is still undetermined.— 
Capt. Ross entered BarroAv’s Strait, and win¬ 
tered just Avithin Prince Regent’s Inlet. In 
the spring of 1849, his ship was caught in 
•the ice of BarroAv’s Strait, and drifted eight 
or ten miles a day tOAvards Lancaster’s 
Sound and Baffin’s Bay. He then coasted 
AvestAvardly with dogs and sledges several 
hundred miles, but Avas obliged, by the 
weakness of his men, to g-ive up his search 
and return home. 
Sir John Franklin Avas ordered to contin¬ 
ue through BarroAv’s Strait, till he reached 
Cape Walker, Avhen he Avas to take a south- 
Avesterly course, betAveen Meh ille Island or 
Banks’ Land on the north, and the mouth 
of the Coppermine River on the south, to¬ 
Avards Bhering’s Strait. If he could not do 
this, he Avas to try Wellington Channel, 
Avhich Avould lead him north of Melville 
Island. 
It has long been knoAvn that, if a passage 
should be found across the north of Ameri¬ 
ca, it Avould neA'er be available for commer¬ 
cial purposes, and many have Avondered that 
any government should be Avill to fit out such 
expeditions, and that any men should be 
Avilling to e.vpose their lives, and saciifice 
every home-comfort in such unpi-olitable en¬ 
terprises; but itshoiildbe remembered that 
the chief end of man is not the acquisition 
of dollars and cents, and, indeed, this pecu¬ 
niary motive shouly be subordinate to many 
others, among Avhich not the least ennobling 
is tlie acrpiisition of knoAvledge, the e.xercise 
of the human intellect, the extension of the 
domain of mind. Many Avho object to the 
northern expeditions no doubt have'rejoiced 
in those life-long researches Avhich have re¬ 
sulted in the discovery of a telescopic comet; 
and yet it Avould be difficult to tell in Avhat 
respect the latter labor, and hundreds of 
others that render men renoAvned, are more 
useful than the attempt to ascertain the form 
of the earth, and thus manifest the Avisdom 
and poAver of Him Avho made the globe and 
adapted it to develop the poAA^ers and ca¬ 
pacities of those Avhom He has made to 
dAA'’oll upon it.— Common School Journal 
A HINT TO TE ACHERS. 
Some tAvelve or thirteen years ago, there 
Avas in the Franklin school an exceedingly 
dull boy. One day the teacher Avishing to 
look out a Avord, took up the lad’s diction¬ 
ary, and on opening it, found the blank 
leaves covered Avith draAvings. He called 
the l^y to him: 
“ Did you druAV these ?” said the teacher. 
“ Yes, sir,” said the boy, Avith a doAvnccist 
look. 
“ I don’t think it Avell for boys to draAv in 
their books,” said the teacher, “and lAvould 
rub these out, if I Avere you; but they are 
Avell done. Did you ever take lessons ?” 
“ No, sir,” said the boy, his eyes sparkling. 
“ Well, I think you have a talent of this 
thing: I should like to haA'e you draAV me 
something Avhen you are a leisure, at home 
and bring it to me. In the meantime see 
hoAv Avell you can recite your lessons.’’ 
The boy felt he Avas undei-stood. He be¬ 
came animated and fond of his books. He 
took delight in gratifying his teacher be his 
faithfulness to his studies; Avhile the teacher 
took every opportunity to encourage him in 
his natural desires. The boy became one 
of his fiist scholars, and gained the medal 
before he had left the schoool. After this 
he became an engraA’-er, laid up money 
(aiough to go to Europe, studied the Avorks 
of the old mastei-s, sent home productions 
from his OAvn pencil, Avhich found a place in 
some of the best collections of painting.s, and 
is noAv one of the most promising artists of 
his years, in the country. After the boy 
gained the medal, he sent the teacher a 
beautiful picture, as a token of respect; and 
I doubt not, to this day, he feels that that 
teacher, by the judicious encouragement he 
gave to the natural turn of his mind, has 
had a great moral and spiritual affect on his 
character.

SATURDAY EVENING REFLECTIONS, 
“ thou shai.t i.ovk thv neigiibok as thyself.” 
Feav persons, it is feared, have a correct 
and full conception of the nature and extent 
of the duty involved in this precept The 
first and great command is, “ Thou shalt 
love the Lord thy God Avith all thy heart, 
with all thy sold, Avith all thy mind, and 
Avith all thy streng-th.” The requirement 
in this command is “ love to God.” I’he 
extent and degree is, Avith all the poAvers 
and faculties of our beino-. The obligations 
O O 
of this command, therefore, are inconceiva¬ 
bly great. But Ave are told “ the second is 
like unto it”— i. e., equal to it, Avhich is this 
—“Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy¬ 
self.” Hoav fcAv are there, Avho realize or 
even conceive this command to be as bind¬ 
ing and as Aveighty as the first ? The in¬ 
spired Avriter assures us, that the Avhole hiAv 
is fulfilled in this one Avord, “ Thou shalt 
love thy neighboi- as thyself,”—i. e., the 
full discharge of this duty, involves every 
principle and fe.eling embraced in the first 
great command. It Avould be the evidence 
of obedience to it; and Avould ffow from it 
as a necessary result Who, then, can 
measure the extent of the obligation to 
love our neighbor as ourselves ? Who can 
estimate the length and breadth, the height 
and depth, of the requirements involved in 
this great duty ? 
If the magnitude and importance of this 
subject be in any measure realized, the mo- 
mentuous iiupiiry aa'III instantly arise; ^Vhat 
is the nature of this duty ? — and Iioav is 
it to be fulfilled ? Who is my neighhor ?— 
and by Avhat specific line of conduct tOAvards 
him, am I to manifiest a love equal to that 
I bear to mj'self? 
To this inquiry I reply: He is my neigh¬ 
boi', be he friend or foe, Avho is Avithin the 
reach of my influence; and aa'Iio, in any 
respect or degree, is in Avant or distress. — 
To the inquiry: Hoav am I to manifest that 
loA’e to him Avhich I bear to myself?— 
I ansAver: It does not require, that I do for 
him just as I do for myself—or that I feel 
for him just as I feel for myself—it does not 
require, that I give him just Avhat I give my¬ 
self—or bestOAv upon him the half of my pos¬ 
sessions. But it does require, just those 
kind offices, and just that line of beneficent 
action, that floAv from a heart AAdiose con¬ 
trolling iinpidse is, a desire to do good; regu¬ 
lated by the extent and character of his 
Avants; and controlled by the best discre¬ 
tion God has given us, as to our ability to 
supply them, Avithout impairing or destroy¬ 
ing our ability to do good to othei-s also, 
Avho may be in need. Cases Avill occur 
Avhere pecuniary aid may be the only kind 
of aid in our poAver to furnish. In such 
event, an honest and conscientious applica¬ 
tion of the rule here suggested, Avill be 
likely to lead us in the.right and safe course. 
The Avant may be great, and our ability 
small, and our gift consequently small. But 
the duty is fulfilled, not by the amount Ave 
give, but by the disposition Avith Avhich it is 
given. The motive, the disposition that 
prompts to beneficent action, should be such 
in character, as moved to deeds of kindness 
and compassion, the mind and heart of our 
great benefactor, “avIio Avent about doing- 
good.” 
But many, very many, are our neighbors 
in the sense Ave are contemplating, avIio have 
neA'er “fallen among thieves”—Avho are not 
in positive distress — and Avho need other 
than pecuniary aid. God may have given 
to us,cultiA'ak?d minds, enlarged vieAvs, scope 
of calculation, soundness of judgment, Avhich 
he has Avithheld from them. They may 
lack prosperity, and suffer embarrassment, 
in a thousand Avays, from their comparatively 
deficient knoAvledge and capacity. We have 
then, a fund here, to impart to idl such — 
to the ignorant — the short sighted — the 
poor calculator — a fund Avhich is never 
exhausted. He lacks forethought; Ave must 
impart it to him. He lacks judgment, and 
calculates badly; Ave must advise him, and 
plan for him. He is uninformed and inex¬ 
perienced ; we must impart to him the aids 
of our knoAAdedge and experience. And 
sometimes pecuniary aid also, may be in¬ 
dispensable, to secure and accomplish the 
good contemplated by these beneficent acts. 
But farther still; those are our neigh- 
boi-s in the A'iew of this sentiment, avIio, al¬ 
though free from want, and able to move 
along the current, with a moderate share of 
success and enjoyment, would still be more 
prosperous, more useful, and more happy, ^ 
if they had the benefit of our skill and ex- ; 
perience. All such, though in a measure \ 
successful, still Avant the talent, and faculty, ^ 
and knowledge, God may have given to us. / 
As “ we have freely received, so we must ) 
freely give.” This duty clearly requires, ^ 
therefore, beneficent action to all such. < 
The Christian, who would fulfil this great ( 
duty to his neighbor, must, therefore, search (; 
out such opportunities for doing good. The | 
controlling desire of his heart must be to ( 
promote the Avelfore and increase the hap- | 
piness of his felloAv man. If instead of ( 
that selfishness, which so engrosses the < 
minds and controls the actions of even our s 
good men, this spirit of actiA’e, disinterested 
beneA'olence, should Avarm their hearts, and \ 
influence their conduct, Avhat a tide of en- | 
joyment, Avhat an ocean of good, Avould flow > 
over the land. e. d. a 
THE SABBATH. | 
The Sabbath is God’s especial present ( 
to the Avorking man, and one of its chief ) 
objects is to prolong his life, and preserve i 
efficient his Avorking tone. In the vital sys- < 
tern it acts like a compensation-pond; it re- c! 
plenishes the spirits, the electricity and vigor, ^ 
Avhich the last six days have drained away, 
and .supplies the force Avhich is to till the ^ 
six days succeeding; and in the economy < 
of existence, it ansAvers the same purpose $ 
as in the economy of income, is answered ^ 
by a savings’ bank. The frugal man who < 
puts aside a pound to-day, and another ( 
pound next month, and Avho in a quiet way 
is filAvaj’s putting past his stated pound from 'i 
time to- time, Avhen he groAA^s old and frail, { 
gets not only the same pound back again, ) 
but a good many pounds besides. And the > 
conscientious man avIio husbands one day ;; 
of existence eA'ery Aveek — Avho, instead of 
alloAving the Sabbath to be trampled and '( 
torn in the hurry and scramble of life, treas- ^ 
ures itdeA'otedly up—the Lord of the Sab- ;; 
bath keeps it for him, and in length of ■: 
days and in hale old age gives it back Avith i 
interest The savings’ bank of human ex- 
istence is the Aveekly Sabbath. '! 
RULES FOR THE JOURNEY OF LIFE. ^ 
The folloAvmg rules of Dr. West, are G 
throAvn together as general Avaymarks in the (! 
journey of life: ^! 
NeA'er to ridicule sacred thing's, or what G 
others may esteem such, hoAvever absurd 
they may appear to be. Never to resent ■ : 
a supposed injury till I knoAv the vieAvs and ) | 
motives of the author; nor on any occasion ' | 
to retaliate. ': 
Never to judge of a person’s character - 
by external appearances. Ahvays to take / 
the part of an absent person Avho is cen- 
sured in company, so far as truth and pro- ^ 
priety Avill alloAv. Never to think the worse ^ 
of another on account of his differing from ) 
me in political or religious opinions. 
Not to dispute Avith a man more than 
seventy years of age, nor Avith a woman, ■ 
nor Avith an enthusiast. Not to affect to 
be Avitty, or to jest so as to Avound the feel¬ 
ings of others. To say as little as possible ' 
of myself and those avIio are near to me. ^ 
To aim at cheerfulness Avithout levity. Not I 
to intrude my ad\'ice unasked. } 
Never to court tke fovor of the rich by ( 
flattering either their vanity or their vice's. 
To speak Avith calmness and deliberation <■, 
on all occasions, especially in circumstances \ 
Avhich tend to irritate. Frequently to re- ! 
vieAv my conduct and note my fiiilings. — 
On all occasions to haA'e in prospect the end s 
of life and a future state. <■ 
THE MEMORY OF CHILDREN. ^ 
It is note-Avorthy that children, Avho are <■ 
taken away by death, ahvays remain in the ^ 
memory of the parent as children. Other ^ 
children gTOAv old, but the one Ave lost con- ( 
tinues in youth. It looks as Ave last srav it [ 
in health. The imagination hears its SAveet ^ 
voice and light step, and sees its silken hair, \ 
and clear bright eyes — all just as they ( 
were. Ten or tAventy years may go by; I 
the child remains in the memory as at first, 
a bright happy child. Its young and beau- < 
tiful • form moves before us; and Avhat is / 
such a memoi-y but an angel presence ? — $ 
Certainly, next to seeing an angel, is seeing, < 
Avith a parent’s heart, such a cherished form. ’ 
Amidst this world of ambition and show, ! 
Avho shall say that this is not a means, under ; 
Providence, of submitting and spiritualizing 
the mind ? Thus, in order to cherish such a J 
remembrance, Ave are at times willing to 
turn even from the charms of the living.— ^ 
The sigh becomes SAveeter than the song. ; 
SorroAv subdued becomes a friend, and c 
sacred joy is mingled Avith teai-s of holy re- ) 
collection. Thus as grief ascends the mount ; 
of time, she seems to pass through a sort ^ 
of transformation. The convulsive agony < 
changes to passive sorroAv, and querulous 
misgiving's to quiet meditation. There must (, 
be distress; let, then, the gushing tears flow 
for it is the course of nature; but even with ^ 
this, let there be the victory of Christian < 
Faith, the glorious hope of our holy re- ( 
ligion. For 5 
“ Such a hope, like the rainboAv, a being of light, 
May be born, like the rainbow, in tears.”
