IMPORTANCE OF BATHING TO Chill
DREN.

The following is an extract from an ex-
cellent essay on the " Physical Education of
Children" by DR.. Richard Burke, Of Eng
land
"There is but one subject more to which
| can now refer this is cleanliness Of the
entire body, it affects the health of children,
is productive Of the greatest mischief. Much
of this may be ascribed to the low order Of
intellect which generally predominates in
those who have the care Of children Could
we but raise this class in the scale Of moral
and intellectual beings, we should add largely
Such scheme is, fear, impractirable. We
cannot hope to reform our present system on
sSals sufficiently extensive to be practically
nurses are chosen from that order Of human
beings, whose reasoning faculties, where chill
dren are concerned, are limited to eating,
sleeping, and physicking.
"Now these, in their way, are all well
enough, but in reality constitute a small por-
ton of the several items which should occupy
the whole soul Of those who undertake so
responsible a trust as that of bringing up q
child. In early life there is great determi-
nation of blood To the cuticalar surface of a
child. This increased supply Of blood will
necessarily require increased facility for the
exit Of TRANSFERABLE matter. In infancy, the
skin is the great outlet which nature seeks.
Should any obstruction occur 70 cuticular
transportation, the matter which should pass
off by that channel, is either thrown back on
the circulating fluids, or becomes condensed
in the form of scabs on the skin of the child.
"A good deal Of this perhaps may be
avoided by regular use Of the hot or cold
bath For children who are healthy, the
cold water should be used during the warm
weather, with warm bath once week, in
which the children should be well washed
with soap and brush. When taken out
they should be rubbed quite dry with coarse
napkin and the body rubbed over with fine
salt; this latter may be very advaniageously
employed, for the effect Of salt on the system
of man is, as some suppose, regenerating
power.
"When organic diseases exist in children,
it is hardly necessary to state that cold bath
ing under any form is unsafe, with some few
exceptions, when the nervous system is chiefly
engaged proper attention to hot and cold
bathing would not only save children from
many Of the distressing diseases of infancy,
but impart tone and vigor to their general sys-
tenn"

on quitting these melancholy abodes, I could
hope TO shake of my waking decision. Nor
was Il until near the verge Of the funeral forest
through which had been pacing for full
hour, a brighter light again cleaned athwart
the ghost-like trees, that I stopped TO look
round, and take more leisurcly survey Of the
ground which had traversed.
s'There," said to myself, 'lie, scarce one
foot beneath the surface Of q swelling soil,
ready TO burst at every point with its fostering
contents, more than half the generations whom
Death has continued TO NOW down for near
four centuries in the vast capital Of Islamism.

cells OF the size of their bodies, and only dis
tnguished by marble turban somewhat long
er or deeper-somewha rounder or squarer,
personages in life, as far as heaven and earth
asunder, in birth, in station, in gifts Of nature,
and long labored requirements. There lie,
sunk alike in their fast sleep. alike food for the
worm that lives on death-the conquerer who
filled the universe with his name, and the
peasant scarce known in his own hamlet; Sui
tan Mahmoud, and Sultan Mahmoud's per-
haps more deserving horse !; elders bending
under the weight Of years, and'infants of a
single hour, men with intellects Of angels, and
men with understandings inferior to those of

the corrupt judge and the innocent, the con-
demned, the murdered man, and his murderer,
the master and his meanest slaves. There.
vile insects consume the hand Of the artist, the
brain Of the philosopher, the eye which spark
led with celestial fire, and the lip from which
flowed irresistible eloquence. All the soil
pressed by me for the last two hours, was once
animated like myself; all the mould which now
clings to my feet, once formed limbs and fea-
lures similar to my own. Like myself, all

willed, and moved! And ], creature Of clay,
like these here cast around i, who travel
through life as do on this road, with the re-
mains Of my past generation strewed along
my trembling path. whether my journey last
few hours more or less, must still, like these
here deposited, shortly rejoin the silent tenants
Of some cluster Of tombs, be stretched out by
the side Of some already sleeping corpse, and
while time continues its course, have all my
hopes and fears--all my faculties and pros
pects-laid at rest, on couch Of clammy
earth"

SPECIE PAYMENTS.

Yesterday was a memorable day in this city, and,
perhaps may say, throughout the Union. The re-
sumption Of specie payments by the banks was without
commotion, without injury TO themselves, and without
Inconvenience to the mercantile part Of the community
Much anxiety has been felt to the effect which the
resumption to have upon the specie funds OF the
banks, and accordingly took some pains to ascertain
the state Of business shortly before the time Of closing
the banks for the day. and happy to state that
there was not in any Of the banks where inquired,
the least reason for believing that any unkindness Of
feeling was INDUCED by the community The demands
for SPECIE were few and light confined, it was evil
dent to the which the community felt for change
The Bank of the United States, it thought would
feel the pressure upon the specie tho most severely but
there nothing to lead any one TO believe
that run was attempted The whole amount Of specie
paid OUT was short Of serenteen thousand dollars, OF
which between eight and nine thousand were for corpo-
ration notes, principally Of the denomination OF one
dollar The largest demanded was three hundred
dollars and nearly the whole amount paid out was IN
small sums Of from one TO ten dollars
We heard in the course Of the morning, that certain
persons having few dollars in United States Bank
notes. demanded and received specie therefor, which
they took to the brokers the expectation Of gaining
three per cent and were mortified and asonished to
learn that the very circumstance which enabled them to
receive silver for their paper rendered that paper as
valuable as silver. This probably checked small
run. sH.t4
It was reported yesterday morning. that large de-
mands from New York were to be made upon the
Philadelphia banks for specie The demands came and

BURIAL PLACE AT CoNsTANTINOPLE.
A dense and motionless cloud Of stagnant
vapors ever shrouds these dreary realms
From afar, chilling sensation informs the
traveller that he approaches their dark and dis
NAL precincts; and as he enters them, an icy
blast rises from their inmost bosom, rushes
forth to meet his breath, suddenly strikes his
chest, and seems to oppose its progress. His
very horse snuffs up the deadly effiuvia, with
signs Of manifest terror, and eshaling cold
and clammy sweat, advances reluctantly over
hollow ground, which shakes as he treads it,
and loudly re-echoes his slow and fearful step.
So long and so busily has time been at work
to fill this chosen spot,--so repeatedly has
Constantinople poured into this ultimate re-
ceptacle almost its whole contents, that the
capital Of the living, spite of its immense
population, scarce counts single breathing
inhabitant for every ten silent inmates Of this
city Of the dead. Already do its fields OF
blooming sepulchres, stretch far away on every
side across the brow Of the hills, and the bend
of their valles already are the avenues
which cross each other at every step, in this
domain Of death, so heightened, that the weary
stranger, from whatever course he comes, still
finds before him many dreary mile Of road
between marshalled tombs and expresses, ere
he reaches his journeys seemingly receaing
end and yet, every year does this common
patrimony of all the heirs Of decay, still ex-
hibit rapidly increasing size, a fresh and
wider line of boundary, and new belt Of
young plantations, growing up between new
flower beds of graves.
As I hurried on through this awful repositc-
ry, the pale far-stretching monumental ranges
rose in sight, and again receded rapidly from
my view, in such unceasing succession, that
at last fancied some spell possessed my soul,
some fascination kept locked my senses; and
therefore still increased my speed as IT only

Flies from the Sailors heart away

Behold, the gallant vessel come!

All Is dread, save the I" sea birds" fight,

Her wings in ey'ry mountain wave;
The winds still howl--the pillows roar
The ship rolls heavier than before
She springs leak--the pumps in vain
They ply-she sinks beneath the main -
And screams Of fear, and groans Of death
