Family NeWSpaperS.

Few persons have any just conception
of the extent of their Indebtedness 10 the
newspapers for the information they pos
: sess and the moral sentiments they cher
ish. Compared with any past age of The
world. this is n remarkably enlightened
period. 4 large portion of the people
have a considerable share OF correct lnior-
nation on almost all topics of real import
ancc. Geography, history, the political
condition of the world, astronomy, some
thing OF geology, chemistry rs applied to
agriculture and the mechanical arts, and
many other subjects, are famiiiarised to
the popular mind. Most persons can
talk nteligently about them without pre-
tending to learning or research.
But how did they come by their knowl.
edge! Not at school, not from books
generally speaking, but by picking up
here little and there littlc, from the
family newspaper, in imperccpubly small
instalments. Let any one ask himself
where he obtained his knowledge of any
particular f?c'. lie is probably unable TO
tell, because it came silently, unprelend-
ingly in the newspapers.
The same is true in regard to our best
moral impressions and sentiments. They
have been suggested, reiterated, and ias-
tened on the mind by the press. The pull
pit does much parental instruction, IN
many cases, does much but the press,
more than either, often more than bOth.-
Let anv reader of n well conducted paper,
open its pages and consider thoughtfully
lis contents. There are in single NUM-
Der sometimes $50 to 200 separate and
distinct articles, each one conveying an
idea. n fact or Il sentiment, and stated or
illustrated so as TO produce some effect,
either in cnlargng the readers store OF
knowledge or giving a right direction to
thought, feeling and action. Must not all
this have It's influence, and in the aggrc-
gate a mighty influence upon the res4cr
We think SO.
No rejecting man can fIl 10 sec that
the ifty-two visits in year, OF careful
ly conducted paper, intelligent, correct,
elevated in moral tone, and withM inter-
esting in lis contents, must exert great
and blessed influence upon domestic life.
Children growing up under such inhu-
ences arc far more likely to be intelligent,
correct in their opinions and morals, and
better prepared for the active duties of life,
than they could have been without it.

The real Merit of Hydropathy, etc.

Ihe real Merit OF Hydrop1hy, etc.
shall not give opinions, for my book
is one of confessions, look you-and can
not decide on the relation between speci-
ficity and similarity, on the generation of
a vitalism, like fire from wood, by mere
friction or division, on single medication,
on the speculations of the founders of
sects those unquiet things, whose argu-
ments are as troublesome to reel kon up as
the seeds of fig. But if | know anything
about it, | fancy he is an accomplished
physician who acts by reason, not by rule,
who has not bound himself to rnn in any
body's harness, who knows what he is
doing, and prudeHtly does what he knows!
But even thus, in spite of wisdom and the
uses of the wise, every new mode and ev-
cry new remedy will wade over head and
ears into the ocean of absurditv, and by
and by come out again approved by the
touchstone Of experience, TO take It's place
according to its relative importance. 1t
has ever been thus! Have not the anas-
thelics. ether and chloroform, been over
done Is it not the case with homGopa-
thy and hydropathy! They have attain
ed position they cannot keep, fame
they cannot sustain, name of efficiency
bevond their range--but still they have a
merit? And to counterbalance the evils
they have wrought, they have served the
public and the profession the one, by
revealing the great utility Of water to pre-
serve and cure us; and the other, by re-
vealing the worse than inutiIity, the harm
of overdosing the sick, and with how little
medicine grave ills may be cured.
Enjoyment IN Age.
My life was now natural, for | INDUCED
in no luxuries. A natural, is godly life;
it is almost painless, and paves the way
to glorious age. Philosophers have said
it, observers have proved it, and | have
experienced-that the capacity for enjoy
ment is not enfeebled by mere age; it is
only changed into new channels, and if
the mode of living be simple and the
mind rightly disposed, / am led to believe
that the pleasures of age are not less de-
lighdul and inviting than those of youth,
But the idle hankerings of discomfort, and
the still worse sensuality and selishness
which steal away our natural feelings, ap'
petites, and affections, Undue us with
msanthropic gloom, which poisons the
pure stream of pleasure, and fills the mind
with mistrust, till it sees through the 9 "a

POTOMAC RIVER.

Fair river. tho unknown to classic sorg;
Which still in varying beauty roll'st along,
Where first thy infant fount is family seen,
\ line Of silver mid fringe of green.
Or where, near towering rocks thy boldcr tide,
To win the giant-guardcd pass doth glide;
Or where in azure mantle pure and gay
TLou giy'st thy cool hand to the waiting bay.
Though broader streams our sister realms may
boast,
Hcrculean cities, and a proudcr coast,
Yet from the bound, where hoarse St. Lawrence
roarS,
To where La Plata rocks resomding shores,
From where the arms Of Shiny Nilus shine;
To the blue waters of the rushing Rhine
Or where Ili>sus glows like diamond spark,
Or sacred GangeS whcms her yotaries dark,
No brighter skies the eve Of day may see,
Nor soil more ycldamt nor race more free.
The farmer here, 18th honest pleasure, sees
His orchards bluslng to the fervid breeze,
Ill, blcatng nockS, the shcarcI's care that need,
Hi, wayi, woods, the wintry hearth that feed,
His hardy steers that break tie yielding soil,
His patient sons, who aid their fathers toll,
The ripenng fields for joyous harvest drest
And the white sFre that points world TO rest.
Here, mid the graves by time SO sacred made,
The poor, lost Indian slumbers in the shade;
lie, whose canoe with arrowy swirtness claye,
In ancient days yon pure, cerulean wave;
Son Of that spirit, whom in storms he traced,
Through darkness followed, and in death en-
braccd,
lie sleeps an outlaw, mid his forfeit land,
And -raSIs the arrow in his mou'dering hand.

Physiology of the Beard.

THE author of the following cOmmunl-
cation, which has been sent to us from
Grenada, Miss, certainly adduces some
weighty reasons in favor of wearing the
beard but we are afraid that his argu-
ments will be wasted upon readers IN gen
eral. Still, as his article is very well
written, and as we 60 upon the principle
of examining every thing and holding
fast to that which is good" we insert 1t
with pleasure.-Ed. Sat. Ere. POST.
Men have, for many years, carried on
an exterminating war against the human
beard, as though it were an cXcresence, or
sort of weed on the face, put there solely
to try mems souls, and the temper OF
themselves ard razors. They feel equal
ly bound to keep the face smooth and their
garden free from weeds. They appear as
Jealous in this kind of self-torture, as ever
did the New Zealander in carving cats and
dogs by tattooing; or the heather SWING
ing with the hook in his back, to please
his wooden god, and, as | have often
thought, as much without knowledge
They seem to think that nature has COM
mitted great blunder; but, if they Will
reflect, they will find that she has done
no wrong, and being misunderstood, IS
badly treated. She has provided for man
a shield against many nervous affections,
in the beard, giving it more important
functions than many o. us are aware OF.
The nervous system of man is compIl-
Gated structure, having its seat in the
brain-running thence through the entire
spinal chord-branching off to the soles
of the feet-palms of the hands-the stom-
ach and the head, as principal points, but
distributing them generally over the entire
superfces of the body. The nerves are
protected by the scarfskin, measureably.
i'll all parts, but great numbers united IN
particular points, have particular Provls.
ions for their security. In the palms OF
the hands, for instance, where hair could
not conveniently grow, and on the soles OF
the feet, very thick skin affords ample
protection; but on all other parts exposed
to the action of the elements externally,
hair grows upon the ends, as IT were, OF
the nerves, and in quantity proporuoned
TO their number and importance. The
nerves of the head are numerous, coming
out near the ear, and branching oil, part
over the entire scalp, part to the eye and
eyebrows, and a large branch over the
cheeks, covering the upper and lower
Jaws, the upper and lower lips and the IN
side of the nose. Now, was this hair
made merely for ornament, or has II an
important use? Nature rarely makes any
thing merely for looks, but she often unltes
beauty and utility. Psychologists have
pretty generally agreed that electricity is
undoubtedly the vital principle IN all or
ganic life-that this universal fluid per-
yades the nerves, transmitting their SEN
salions with lightning speed from the re-
motest outpost of the system to the BRAIN
and that the health Of the body depends
upon the action Of these nerves, and the
amount Of vital energy in them. These
