Rev. Fatller j',Lu5ilellfy Deur Father : H a vi og promised to send .\·on for the --Co!J ege Journal" a few hints about the character ot muching and nmch life, I will grae:p t he opportunity offered by a few mom e1~ts ofleisure t o t.hrow dow n in hai:cte ~nch te:1tmes of t!J e bus iness as are upperm ost in my mind. Rmching as th e term is now applied (tho' origin rdly m eaningjannwg from t ile Spanish worclranc ho) is a term nsecl to describe the busin ess of cattle ra ising in the fin· W e t. It::tpplies to the following states and territoriesKansas, Indian Territory, N eurao;ka, ' Vyoming, l\Iont:tna, Colora do, Utah, 1\e vacb, Cnlifomin, Arizona, New l\[e:s:ico and Te:s:es- of which geographical divisions the area is thirteen hundre:l thousand square miles; or it represent~ a supet'jicies equal to more tlian one third of Europe! Of this v:Jst r egion, so rich in ores ; precious m etnls, coal an d timber, and mnrblc [lnd stones, Texas, New l\Iexico, Ari zona, Color[ldo, Ut::th, Nev::tda, and Californi a formerly belonged to old l\Ie:s:ico, and before she lost them she was third from the larges t Jl01'1''u _in the world on the b:1sis of superficial area. At the time we got them , these regio ns wer2 little else that what they were descr ibed to be- "a howling wildemess"-infested by fi erce bc::sts and by the still fiercer men, and by virtue of their very vastness protected from the npproach of civilization. Bu t by the same pa s!"ion which inspired nil the discoveries of Colum bus' successors, (a passioi1 whi ch was even. m ore or less sensibly, mingled in the high motives of that great m an himself)-the passion for gold has in the hnncls of Provid ence furnisheel the means of t aming this region. It be.gnn first with the discoveries of gold in California, when to get these r equi red perils many by ln.n(1 ::tncl by sea whi eh wonl r1 have thwarted anything less resistless than the atlri sacra. jmnes-the accurse('l hunger for money .

LEO X. AND HIS AGE.
Looking hack through the cent mi cs it is a pleasing a]l(1 bea utifu l sight to beholcl conchcd behind the stormy epoch of uprising Protestantism a calm bright period of purely Christian progress an d elll ightenment, a peri0d ornamented with the finest creations of gen ius and rendered illustrious by the gal:lxy of master minds which it pr odueccl,. Our own nineteenth ceutury may boast its steam and electricity, of its thousand :mel one in ventions which have nlmost set labor at naught, of tile easy anrl rapid means which it hus devise d for the spread <lfknowleclge ::..mong the masses, and above aU for the hitherto unparnllelecl progress which it b ~s mac1e in the developm ent of the physi cal sciences; yet if we look tor real perfect ion in art and literature, if we look for ·t he purest strains of the muses, or for those inimitable produetions in sc ulpture anc1 painting which bwe won j(Jr their masters the title "eli vine", >ve m nst go back heyond the clays .of the so-called Reformation to that golden era in hi stOl'J of the Catholic Church when the chair Of St. Peter was occnpied by that munificent p atron of of learnil1g, Leo X . The day which s ucceeded the night of the Middle Ages had long cln.wned, and was even
197
t~~en consic1erably advanced. Already tlie chivalry of Enrope kt<;l ·, ·etu rned victorious from the plains of the East ; already Gothic piles of sublime arch itecture were towering to the clouds, while genins was diligently fathoming the d('pths of Phil0sophy ancl Theology; but it wns not until the time of Leo X . that learn ing burt:t f..>rth in nll l~er ~plendor, or that art nnd li terature bebeJel tbdr pnlmiest days. It wns in Italy more than in :n;.r ot'.her part ot Europe t.h~t this ''ouclcrful ruvivt11 of learning took place. Tllroughont the long period of the l\lid(lle Ages, \\hen all abou t wns clnrk, t hat country St;emecl to preserve a spar!;: of her former li ternry greatn e~~, which in the gencr::~ l rev ival of art and letters ~enr ed ns :t torch for the otber nations of Enrope, and which at tbe beginning of Leo's reign blazed up in such a bright anc1S]Xlrkling flame as to excite the >Yonder and admiration of mankind . It was und er the munificent pn,t.ron nge of that great and learned Pope, that poetry, musJC, pa.intiug, sc ulpture, in a word, everything that art rmd literature comprise, attained to a degree of perfection which to-cby we aim at in vain. Born of the illust rious house of Medici, n,nd educatel1 with a ll the care and skill of tbe wisest tutors then in schools of Europe, Leo, at tile time of his call to the see of St. Peter in151 3 , was a mnn of the finest intellectual attn.inrnents, possessing not only a. mind deep and far-reaching . bu t espeGi:1lly a pure nm1 hi ghly cult i vn.ted t::ste, as well as an nrde nt love for all that was good or beautiful in literature or art. Upon his elevation to the pontificr.te the most sanguine hopes of the artists and li teni.ti of his time seemed on the point of Lein g realized . Nor were such expectation groundless. The new Pontiff, far from cliscounlging those lovers of art or f~t vorites of the muses in their efforts to ad vance, not only held out to t hem pr:zcs and r ewards for superior productions, but even entererl b i mself into their v a rious pursni t.s and aided them not less as a patron t!.lan as a compa.n ion. Under these circnm sta nces Italy soon became the "promised lancl of the intellect,'' and Rome the starry center of the literary firmament.

The frngrant groves and gardens of Italy · were soon crowded with poets, artists nud philosophers who walked t ogether conversing upon their sublime them es, or mused in silence over the grand conceptions and creations of their own gen iu s.

RIFLECTIONS ON TI-IE USE OF BOOKS Continued,
We arc aware that young people especially require, and we grant that they ought to have, some more active entertainments tha n the calm reading of b ooks. B ut we know, too, that they neecl to be mot! eratecl in theirlove and pursuit of such entertainn~ents, and rlirected to some otlier and better mod es of or,cupy in g their time. They will v ery ensily, unl ess differently g nicl ecl, run into a hrtLit ofcraviiJg what areca!Ied harmless plensnres . t o. such an immorlerate d egree, as to be satisfied with nothing else, to be discontented with borne, unl ess th ey c::m have some gay company there to cheer up tb ~ old dull walls, to welcome with avidity every new invitation which c:tlls them abro::Jcl, to be devotP d to the ni cet ies and mysteri es of dress, and to become averse to sober occup:ctions and so lid acquirements. Then it will be found , too late, perhaps, that these harmless pleasures h:we turned out, in the end, exceedingly hurtful-and not because t!Jey >\'ere not really inn ocent and even use ful in t hemsel vcs as occ:tsiOJlfLI relaxation or promoters of elegant intercourse, bnt because th ey were made tbe sole objects ot attention and desire, and suffered to com e and reign in the mind exclusiv ely and supremely. To guard youthfu l minds ngainst such a catastrophe, tllr sad catnstrophe of indolence and emptiness, few more effectual steps can be taken than to inspire a. love oi'reading and judiciously. to superintend the comse of i t: and thi s is to be done most easily and happily in the . family circle amid st all its influences and attractions, and with t he assistance of them all. A t aste for reaC.ing, being once acquired, will, besides providing a pleasur(, gr<>at in itself and constant in its &upplies, lead those who possess it to a just estimate of the value of time and the worth of their minds and prevent them from wasting t!Jeir time and fltarving their minds in a continual haunting of places of amus.ement.
