the physical world the more perfect will be his power * Knowledge is the tool , and wisdom is the guiding hand . Reader , thou wilt perhaps smile , and ask where the men are to be found possessing so many admirable qualities . Doubtless they are rarities in the present generation , but it follows not that a better system will not make them more common . Whenever a perfect physical
organization may exist , —and this is of more frequent occurrence than is generally allowed , —the perfect training of the mind will develope all the excellence of which it is capable . Were a Crichton to appear under a system of theatrical arrangement such as I have faintly shadowed forth , he could not find a sphere of exertion wherein he could develope his excellencies with such
perfect utility , so much to the advantage and instruction of his fellow-creatures , as on the stage . And what might not corresponding excellence in woman produce ? The heart leaps while the imagination glances at such things , and the judgment whispers that they will be within human reach as wisdom shall advance . Jdnius Redivivus . July 7 , 1833 .

cat-eyed , reddish-brown , ochre-faced , clean-chinned , mustachio-hpped Spalatreee ; and ' Scior sci 9 ( pronounced shore shet ) was his patois for ' Signior si . ' Pietro Camiso ' s history has nothing to do with my tale , except it be to account for the manner in whicli I made his acquaintance , and why I was at this time in his company . Pietro had , in his boyhood , youth , and early manhood , acquired a familiarity with the
Canali di Zara , Spalatro , and Brazza , in a single . masted craft of small tonnage , which plied between Zara and Spalatro , occasionally tripping round Sabioncello to Ragusa . He had even passed the Bocca de Cattaro , and vi 3 ited the terra incognita of the republic of Montenegri . Many a rich cargo of maraschino had Pietro carried to Spalatro ; and many a head-ache in Spalatro could testify the virtue of the said maraschino .
