All who are acquainted with the nature of

the top. If, then, anything can be added to
them, which, without injuring the body OF the
paint. will cause the two to unite, without the
power Of afterwards separating, IT MUST BE
MADE MORE DURABLE; and such is the cffe ct of
this wonderful improvement, unsurpassed in

PERCEPTION or THE BEAuTIrUL.--Do
any reply that the perception Of the beau
siful, is but luxurious sensation, and
may be dispensed with, in those systems
of education, which this age Of utility es-
,ab|ishes? But is motifs culture the more
demanded, to throw q heal!hful leaven,
into the mass of society, and to serve as
some coun,erpoise for that love Of accu-
mua,ion which prevades every rank, in
,rudes into every recess, and spreads E.
ven in consecrated places, the stables OF
the money changers and The seats Of such
as sell doves?" Fl
In ancient times, the appreciation OF
whatever was beautiful, in the frame Of
nature, was accounted salutary, by phi
losophers and sages. Galen says, she
who has two cakes Of bread, let him sell
alone, and buy some flowers; for bread is
food for the body, but .tao,oers are food TOR

tails are surrounded by innumerable dan

that they escape so long, than that they

are planted in our constitutions by ma

whence we draw the breath Of life is inn

operate its own destruction! The food
that nourshes contains the elements Of
decay; the soul that animates it by WV
flying fire tends to wear it out by its own
action; death turks in ambush along our
paths. Notwithstanding this is the truth
SO palpably confirmed by the daily ex-
amp!es before our eyes, how little do we
lay it 10 heart! we see our friends and

seldom does it occur to our thoughts that
