STRUCTURES ON HEALTH.

We have extracted the following remarks.
from book, bearing the above title, recently
published in New York. We submit them. with
due Difference, to the consideration, of those for
whose benefit they were written.
Salem Observer.
The barbarous custom so universal a.
mong our females, of tight lacing by the
the corset, busks, &C. is adopted in lieu of
the stays formerly worn, and is no less hurt
full or criminal The stays are laid aside
and abandoned by our female ancestors, in
consequence of the obvious mischief result
ing to health but our modern ladies have
changed the name and shape of the instru-
ment, yet they retain all its destructive
characteristics. 1t was discovered by the
observations of professional men in Eng
land, during the last century, and by them
publicly declared, that by the stays then
generally worn, the free expansion of the
lungs was prevented, the breast became
cancerous, the ribs and spine, from constant
compression, became distorted, shortness of
breath followed, and in many instances ter
minated in consumption; the digestive or
gans suffered arrangement, and frequent
nausea and vomiting followed" All these
declarations were made public after having
distinctly traced these several results to the
use of the stays, by observations made dur
ing life, confirmed by inspection after death,
of which they had numerous instances.
Now the corsets so generally worn at pres
ent by the "better part of creation" are
productive of the same effects. Almost
every professional man has witnessed the
results of this fatal abomination.
The author has many times attributed
disease to tight lacing. and in the only two
instances in which he was permitted to dis
sect the bodies of two young females e this
class, the suspicion was shown to be well
founded. The adhesion of parts and de-
rangement ofstructure were truly frightful
and they had always been defending them
selves from the charge by saying, 81 am
sure / don't lace so tight as other girls p and
when accused Of violating prudence in this
respect, when almost sufocated, would ele-
vate the shoulders. and say, Indeed l am
not rery tight" Thus perssting in their
hateful intemperance in dress, they prepare
for themselves premature grave. And il
is problem which would puzzle a Jesuit
that suicide is less criminal, when knowing
! ly persisted in by tight lacing, than when
effected by halter OF a razor"

1T has been related of some who were recov-
cred from early blindness, that they evidently
expected to find those whom affection and kind
ness had endeared to them, the most beautiful
to the eye.

PERSIAN APOLOGIZE. A tortoise and a
scorpion travelled the same road for con-
siderable distance, in good fellowship. The
latter, ON the ground of this friendship, ask
ed the former to carry him over deep
stream. The tortoise complied F; but what
was his surprise to find his companion en-
deavoring with all his might to sting himl
When he had placed him safe on the oppo-
site shore, he turned to him and said, " Are
not you the most wicked and ungrateful OF

given up your journey or have been drowned
in that stream, and what is my reward /?

cJ-JAcKsoN INGRATIrUDE.-We dislike
the ingrattude of parties The recent negli-
scnce Of the Jackson Editor in this town, in
omittng the name Of the Hon. WHEELER
MARTIN, as an Elector, deserves the severest
exocra'ion of the people at large The Judge
deserves better fate. We expected TO see
his name at the head Of the list it would have
added much weight to the ticket. The peo
pie have unlimited confidence in his political
integrity. and he ought to have been set up
as an Elector. We want to see his name be-
fore the public, for Office. He s at the head
of the Jackson party, and ought to be treated
as the Martin Van Buren, of that party. If il
were not for interfering with other people s
business, we would nominate him ourselves
as ii is, we can do nothing for him at present

We published on our first page the letter Of
Mr.. Sullivan. which fixes the charge Of threat
cniny to horsowhip Mr.. Senate LAcocK upon
Gen. Jackson, beyond the power of con'radic.
tion. 1t now remains for the sober, moral
and candid people Of the United States to de-
eide the question, whether they will elect a
man, who possesses the temper Of Gen. Jack
son, President, or not. We still believe there
is enough Of good sense and virtue left in tho
great body Of the people, to decide this ques
ion by elec'ing Mr.. ADAMS, and by olectmg
him, save the honor Of the country.

the attention Of the whole world in conse-
qusnce Of his having obtained an election TO
Parliament. The question whether he will be
allowed to take his seat in the House Of Com
mons, will create great excitement both in
England and Ireland A late writer speaks OF
the personal appearance Of this gentleman in
the following terms.-"Hs is a tall man, OF
gentlcmanly appearance, some" hat inclined TO
stoop, aud. as thought, between fifty and
sixty years Of age. His face is pleasing, ]
would almost say handsome; and his oratory
is Of fluent, easy, confident sort; which be-
speaks in him a perfect consciousness Of his
own powers, and creates in his auditors a feel
ing that they are listening TO a man of talont
and gentleman. O'Connell may err-lrlsl'
enthusiasm may carry, as it has in many
instances carried him, too far, but he is
not a man to be sneercd at, nor ono who is to
be regarded as nothing more than violent de-
clsimer Let any one see him, md hear him
in tho Four Courts, and in the Associating
rooms, as ] have seen and heard him this
weok he will confess that Mr. O'ConnelI is a
talented as well as an elegant orator, ingen-
ious ind imaginative and gifted with the cx-
traordinary tact Of cutting his oiioits in all in
stant to tho feelings and intelligence Of his
auditory. II was such n man that took his
seat in tho decorated chair at Ennis. and il

the Catholic population Of Ireland"
