II simply 70 improve their digestive organs. il
will be all 10 vain. II is the faded mind that
preys on the exhausted and enfeebled body.
Let that be free, let them give themselves up
Ia the pleasures Ofthe morning ride or ramble
or the inspiring chase, and they will soon be
free from the necessity Of careful dieting aud
starvation. 1t is mOurnful sight to see SO
many rising germs Of genius in our land, which
might have shone with spiender in the array
Of human intellect, sinking by their own mis-
guided fully intO a state of after worthless
ness. and looking forward to an early tomb
as the only refuge from an insupportable ca
lamity. They take no proper method to
preserve themselves. They starve the body
to Feast the mind, and contrary to the design
and dictates.nf nature, strive to build up the
one on the ruins Of the other. Our females,
entering toto the arena of literary competi-
ton, and ambitious pf brcoming walking lex
icons in the halls Of science, or, what is worse,
disappearing in the delicate and sylphlke form
Of the evening belle. are fast laying aside the
rosy hue ofhealth for the pale and sickly look
of weakness and debility. The good old days
Of our Grandmothers are fed forever, and
their healthful activity has given place 10 the
fatigues oflounging on a sofa and keRfsiBg up
their spirits with the assistance of perfumed
| restoraiiyes and artificial stimulants. Let them
Eremember that If they would be beautiful as
the blushing East, and lovely as the morn
ing" they must meet the morning in its COM
ing, and be not afraid of the kisses Of the
winds Of Heaven. This alone can give them
health, enjoyment and beauty. Nor will it
detract from the gentle virtues, nor the high
est refinement, but will add new charm to
every beauty and will secure them FRI, That
! odious appeation which marks tht &8i ar
ner in the abode of single bessedness.
On one subject our author has said few
| words, where we could have wished he had
written volume. The great subject Of Self
Education should be brought home to the
| mind of every one. Our system Of intellec-
( tual education is confined TO that age which
was designed to be free from it. We study
in our infancy and then throw away our books
forever. This practice should be reversed.
In our early days we should seek our moral
and physical culture. When the body is
strengthened and the mind purified, then may
we with safety and profit put forth all our
powers in intellectual exertiOn. But before
this, we should take upon ourselves only such
burdens as we can bear. When we are pre-
pared TO bear the fatigues Of the field, we
should take it with determination never to
leave it till it is ours. THE life of man is
continued education" and il is alike the part
offolly to cut il short by premature exertions.
or to throw itagay by an early abandonment
of its true objects. AImOs: all who have dis
tnguished themselves in the worlds history,
have been self-made, self-educated men. not
prOdigies in infancy, but men 10 their own
proper day and time. We intended 10 have
made further remarks on this most important
part Of our subject, bat have already trespass-
ed too far for the columns of newspaper
We take our leave Of it therefore, Intending
to resume it at some other time. and in part
ing, we will ask those for whose benefit ii was
principally designed, to take one glance at Dr..
Brigham's 'tremarks," and we will promise
them that they will End much that is useful
and which may prove Of service to them
through life.
