"STUFFING" CHILDREN.-A recent London

of Stufling," which is adapted to any lattudei
at strikes u.s." says the author, ''f children
studied less they would learn more We
saw little girl going to school the other
day,with work enough cut out for a full grown
Euclid. She had lessons to get on the fol.
lowing subjects--Orihography, EtYmoiygy,
Syntax, Astronomy, Bellies Lettres, Music,
Drawing, and Political Economy, with side
issues, consisting Of card board, necde-work
and Berlin wool, pictures of lemon-colored
sheep kept from indigo lions by saffron col.
ored shepherd; and the whole to be done up
and finished in three hours. Whether this
is good way to teach children, we can't say
all we know is, that it is frst.ratc way to

SHAVING THE FACE.

DIR. Z. Sanborn, of Andover, writes to the
Boston Medical and Surgical journal quite
an interesting letter in favor of wearing the
beard He takes the ground that the Gus
tom of shaving the beard among nations of
men Is always attended or followed by n
marked deterioration in the physical organ
ization, not only of the existing race Of peo-
pie, but of the race TO come, ard quotes ex-
amples from history to support his conclu-
sions. He says that the aboriginal inhabit-
ants of our soil and climate were once brave
powerful and numerous; but they waged wal
against nature by uprooting the beard from
their faces, and consequently grew more and
more eifeminate with every generation, until
they became an easy prey to their enemies
and are themselves uprooted from the face ol
the earth. He cites the Chinese, too, as q
people who have been shorn of their locks
and of strength together, till, as nation, they
have only mere nominal existence; and he
says Of the Abrahamic race, whose creed it is
to preserve unmarried "the corner of their
boards" that he never saw case of pauper.
ism, premature physical debility, or premature
disease among them. He says:
The habit of shaving is not of "origin di.
vine," as thousands seem to think, but quite
the reverse. The ancient patriarch, the holy
prophets, Christ and his disciples, and the
earlier and probably purer Christians, deemed
it n violation of the laws of their nature
Alexander enforced it upon his army that
they might thereby gain bloodier conquest
The nobility of Spain adopted it through
courtesy to their beardlcss prince The mass
were of course subjected to the humiliating
| process, but expressed their repugnance to
the outrage in the well-known proverb-
"Since we have lost our boards, we have lost
our souls"-that is, ourselves, our identity.
| We are rather soulless slaves than the men
our Maker made and designed us to be.
DR.. Sanborn concludes with calling upon
every free born son of America to shake eff
all conventipnalities which oppress humanity
and especially such as insidiously tend tc
vtiate and dcpress the true manlness Of man
and he implores all mothers, sisters and wives
to second these efforts, and exercise theil
good taste in creating and sustaining such
purely American habits and fashions as will
to the end Of time render them and their de
scendants more excellent in all the relations
of life.

CAUSE OF THE PREssURE.-Thc Newark
Daily Advertiser discredits the idea that the
present pressure is aggravated in any con-
siderable degree by the boarding of gold and
silver, as MIR. Secretary Guthrie would have
us believe. That intelligent print thinks that
American character is opposed to hiding n
talent in napkin at seasons like the present,
when it can be put out at most exhorbitant
usury We have been for u long while cx-
porting all we received from California, and
more. And now, to make bad worse, the
precious treasure does not stop in England,
to feed the Cotton mills, and enhance the de.
mand and price of the raw material here, but
goes on to the Crimea, to aid in the work of
wholesale destruction waging between Russia
and the Allies. This export of coin is rem.
dered necessary by the excess Of our imports
over exports for the last year Of more than
f6y millions Of dollars, Yet it is gravely
proposed to reduce the duties with view to
diminish the national revenue! The conse-
quence of which must necessarily be greatly
augmented Importation, and still greater
drain of our precious metals.
