The equity man broke his vial Of elixir,
threw his powders into the fire, and
walked four or five miles every day

&c DISEASES; ILLUSTRATED By AN
ALLAGORY.
In the island Of Ceyion, in the Indian
Ocean, a number Of iovalids were as
semb!ed together, who we're afflicted
with most Of the chronic diseases, to
which the human body Is subject. In
tie midst Of them sat several venerable
figures, who amused them with encom-
iums upon some medicines, which they
assured them would afford infallible
relief in all cases. One boosted Of an
clix,r--anolhcr Of powder, brought
from America--a third. Of a medicine,
invented and prepared in Germany
all Of which they said were certain an
tidotes to the gout--a fourth, cried up
a nostrum for the yapours-a fifth,
drops for the gravel--a sixth, a balsam
prepared iiom honey, as sovereign
remedy for a consumptior-a seventh,
"a pill for cutancous eruptions-while
an eighth cried down the whole, and
extolled a mineral water, which lay a
few miles from the place where they
were assembled. The credulous null
titudc partook eagerly Of these medi-
cines, without any relief Of their res
'pcctivc complaints. Several Of those
who made use fthe antidotes to the
govt. were hurried suddenly out Of the
world.--Some said their medicines
were Observation-Disclosures, that the
doctors had mistaken their disorders
while most Of them agree d, that they
were much worse than ever.-While

FEMALE EDUCATION.

Let your 6nFt care he to give your
little girls a good physical education.
Let their early years be passed, il pos
sible, in the country, gathering fow-
ess in the fields, and partaking Of all
the free exercise, in which they de-
light. When thcs' grow older, do not
condemn them to sit 8 listless hours
Of the day over their books, their work,
their maps, and their music. Be as
sured that half the l'umber Of hours
passed in realattentlon TO well ordered
studies, will make them more accom-
plished and more agreeable compan-
ions than those common ~ are who
have been most elaborAtG.ly finished,
in the modern acceptation softhe term.
The systems by which young ladies are
taught to move their limbs according
TO the rules Of art, to come into room
with studied difiidence, and to step in
10 carriage with measured &C. ION and
premeditated grace, are only c lcula-
ted to keep the degrading idea per-
petuafly present, that they are pre- oar
ing for the great market Of the wo Id.
Real elegance of demeanOnr spris g
from the mind-fashionable schools /. o
but teach its imitation, whilst them
rules forbid to be ingenious. Philoso-I
pliers never conceived the idea OF sol
perfect q vacuum as is found to exist
in the minds Of young women suppos-
Sod 10 have finished their education in
such establishments. II they marry
husbands as uninformed a. themselves,
they fall into habits Of insignifcance
without much pain; il they marry per-
sons more accomplished, they can re-
tain no hold Of their affections. Hence
many matrimonial miseries, in the
midst Of which the wife finds It con-
sole.ipn TO be always complaining Of
heishealsii and ruined nerves. IL the
education Of young women we would
s;sy-let them be secured from all the
trapPlings and manacles of such sys-
tenn, let them partake Of every active
exercise not absolutely unfcminine,
and trust to their being able to get into
or out Of . carriage with a light and
graceful step, which no drilling can
accomplish. Let them rise early and
retire early to rest, and trust that their
beauty will not need to be coined into
artificial smiles in order to secure /,
welcome, whatever room they enter.
Let them ride, walk, run, dance. in the
open air. Encourage the merry and
innocent diversions IN which the young
delight: let them. under proper pui.
dance, explore every hill and valley;
let them plant and cultivate the gar
den, and make hay when the summer
sun shines, and surrnount all dread ol
ashower ofrain or the boisterous wind
and, above all, let them take no meci-
cine except when the doctor orders it.
The demons Of hystcria and meian-
choly might hover over a group iol
young ladies so brought up; but they
would not lind one Of them upon whom
they could exercise any power.
