From the Young Mo'her,' by DR.. Alcott.
CRYING.

'Crylng,' says Dr.. Dewes. should be
looked upon as an exercise of much irnpor
tance;' aud he is sustained in this view BY
many eminent medical writer's.
But people generally think otherwise.
Nothing is more common than the idea
that to cry is unbecoming: and children are
every where taught when they suffer pain
to brave it out. and not cry. Such direc-
,ion to say nothing Of its tendency to en-
courage hypocrisy. is wholly unphllosoph-
zeal. The following anecdote may serve IN
part to Illustrate my meaning. 1t 10 said TO
have been related by Dr.. Rush.
A gentleman in South Carolina was
abon, to undergo a very painful surgical
operation. He had imblbed the idea that
it was beneath The dignity of a man ever
to do or say any thing expressive of pa m
lie therefore refused to submit to The usual
Precau'ion of securing the hands and feet
by bandag"s. declaring to his surgeon that
he had nothing TO fear from his being IN
tied, for he would not move muscle of his
body. He kept his word it is true; but he
died instantly after the operation, from ap-
oplcxy.
There is very little doubt in the mind of
any Psychologist, in regard to The cause OF
apoplexy in this case; aud that it might
have been prevented by the relief which is
always afforded by groans and tears.
II Is, | believe very generally known.
that in the proionndest grief, people do not.
and cannot shed tears; and that when the
latter brgIn to flow, it affords immediate
relief
| do not mean to argue from this that crying
is so important either to young or old, that
it is ever worth while TO excite or contin
Ne il by artificial means; Or that habit of
crying so easily and readily acquired by
he young, is not TO be guarded against As
serious evil Ny object was first to show
the folly OF those who d.nounce all crying,
and secondly TO point out some of lis ad-
vanages. IN the hope of preventing parents
from gong to that extreme which BORDERS
upon stoic'sm.
One nfihe most intelligent MEN ] ever
knew, frequently made II his boast that he
! nehe laughed nor cried on any occasion;
and on being Il Id that both laughing and
crying were physlologcaliy useIul, only
rldicuIed the sentiment.
Crying Is useful TO very young infants,
because il favors the passage of blood N
their lungs, where it had not been accus.
toned to travel, and where its motion I:
now indispensable. And IT not only pro.
moles the circulation of the blood but ex.
pands the ar-cells OF the lungs, anu thu.
helps forward that great change by which
the dark culored impure blood of The vein.
is changed at once into pure blood, and
thus rendered fit TO nourlsh the system
aud TO sustain life.
But this is not all. Crying sireng, hens

of his soul until his locks had become
whitened with the SHOWS of more than
fifty winters. Less than two years a.
go, through the Astounding mercy of
God, he was awakened 10 sense of
his danger, and fad to Jesus as the
only hope Of the perishiog. He soon
after made an open avowal Of his at.
tachment TO the cause OF Christ, and
lived in accordance with the principles
Of his professions. He exhibited an
exemplary punc,uality in his alen-
dance upon the ordinances of religion.
The last evening he speat upon earth
was passed amids, the halowed iniiu.

morning Of bis death, he had taken his
seat at the table, and had just finished
his petition for a blessing upon the

from the culver Of God pierced his
heart, and ne fell pale and lifeless
corpse. Prayer was tue last act OF his
