like ali other power, will increase with ex-
crcise We desire to hold the flesh in strict
subjection TO the spirit Bodily exercise,
therefore, must be added to the number Of
those forces which, by strengthening the
animal, do damage TO the spiritual man.
We must take great pains to choke the en-
ergy of children. Their active little limbs
must he tied down by well-woven system
of politeness They run, they jump, turn
heels over head, they climb up trees; IL
they attempt stiffness they are ever ON the
move, because Nature demands that while
the body grows it shall be freely worked in
NIL its parts, in order that il may develop into
framework vigourous and well proper
toned. Nature really is more obstinate
than usual on this point So restless de-
light in bodily exertion is implanted in the
child, that our patience is considerably tried
when we attempt to keep it still. Children,
however, can be tanned aud civilized. BY
sending them unhealthy from the nursery,
we can deliver many of them spiritless at
school, there TO bo properly subdued, The
most mwholesorne plan is to send bows TO
one school, girls TO another; both physical
ana morally, this method gives good hope
of sickllness. Nature, who never is on our
SIDE, VIII allow children of each sex TO bo
born INTO one fainily--to play together and
be educated at one mothers knee. There
ought TO be-if Nature had the slightest
sense OF decency--girls only born in ono
house, boys only in another. However. we
can sort the children at an early age. and
send them OIL to school, girls east boys west,
"A girl shull be allowed on no account to
climb tree, or be unladylike. She shall re-
gard boy as strange, curious monster; be
forced into Irritation; and prefer the solace of

and the "Use of the Globes" BY the by,
what marvel it is that every lady has learn
cd in her childhood the use of the globes,
and yet you never see lady using them.-
All these subjects she shall study from fe-
male poiut of view. Her greatest bodily
fatigue shall be the learning of polka, or
the Indian sceptre exercise. Now and then
she shall have an iron down her back and
put her feet in stocks. The young lady
shall return from school able to cover otto
mans with worstcd BIRDS aud TO stitch a
purse for the expected lover about whom
she has been thinking for the last five years.
She is quite aware that ST. Petersburg il
the capital of Ireland, and that noun is a
verb-substantive, which signifies to he, to do,
TO suffer-
The boy children shall be sent to school,
where they may sit during three hours con-
secuiively, and during eight or nine hours in
the day, forcing their bodies to be Tranquil. |
They shall get much into their mouths of |
what they cannot comprehend, and little or |
nothing INTO their hearts, out of the wide |
stores OF information for which children re- |
ally thirst. They shall be taught little or |
nothing of the world they live in, and shall
know its Maker only as an answer 10 some
question in catechism, They shall talk of
gris as being OF another nature; and shall
come home from their school-life pale, sub
dued, having nnwholesome thoughts, awak-

Deen suffered to develop; and shamelaced
IN the society from which, during their
schoolboy life, they have been banished.
The older girl shall ape the lady, and the
older boy shall ape the gentleman; so we
may speak next of adults.
No lady ought to walk when she can ride.
The carriages of many kinds which throng
our streets, all prove lis civilized; prove us.
and make us weak. The lady should be
tlred after four-mile walk her walk ought
to be, IN the utmost possible degree, weeded
OF energy. 1t should be slow; and when
her legs are moved, her arms must be re-
strained from that synchronous movement
which peryerse Nature calls upon them TO
perform. Ladies do well TO walk out with
their arms quite still, and with their hands
folded before them. Thus they prevent
their deiicacy from being preyed upon by
100 wholesome exercise, and, what is to us
more pleasant, they betray their great hu-
mility. They dare only TO walk among us
lords OF creation with their arms folded be-
Iore mem, that by such humble guise they
may acknowledge the inferiority Of their DO
sition. An Australian native. might almost
be tempted, in sheer pride of heart, TO knock
some OF our ladies two or three times about
the head with that small instrument which
ne employs for such correction of his wo-
men, ifnt so he might derive the more ell
Joyment from their manifest submissyeness.
Inc well-bred gentleman ought 10 be
weary affer six miles of walking. and haugh-
tlly stare down the man who talks about
sixteen. The saddle, the gig, the carriage.
or the cab and omnibus, must protect al
once his delicacy and his shoes. The stu |
dent should confne himself to study, grudg- |
ing nne believing nobody who tells him
ihat the ume he gives TO wholesome exercise |
ne may receive back in the shape of increas-
ca value for his hours of thought--that even
