in this matter, and give some of the arguments
in favor of wearing the beard, presented by DIR.

Surgical Journal. The Doctor takes rIe ground
that the custom of shaving the beard among
tions of men is always attended or followed by
a marked deterioration in the physical organi-
zation, not only of the existing race of people,
but of the race to come, and quotes examples
from history to prove his conclusions. He says
that the aboriginal inhabitants of our soil and
climate were brave, powerful and numerous;
but they waged war against nature by uprooling
the beard from their faces, and consequently
grew more and more effeminate with every gen

enemies, and are themselves uprooted from the
face of the earth. He cites the Chinese, too, as
a people who have been shorn of their locks
and their strength together till they have only
a mere nominal existence; and he says of the
Abrahamic race, whose creed is to preserve un-
marred the corner of their beards," that he
never saw a case of pauperism, premature phys
Hesys:-'The habit of shaving is not of orr
gin aIvine,' as thousands seem to think but
quite the reverse. The ancient patriarchs, the
holy prophets, Christ and his disciples, and the
earlier and probably purer Christians, deemed
1t violation of the laws of their nature. Alex
ander enforced it upon his army. that they might
thereby gain bloodier victory. The nobillty
of Spain adopted it. through courtesey TO their
beardless prince. The mass were of course SUBJ

their repugnance to the outrage in the well
known proverb: Since we have lost our boards

Proclaims your nations shame.
Your high renown in glorious types
Is blszoned byyour stars;
But what the meaning OF the stripesl
They mean your negroes scars!

verses in thise wise

That tints yon flag of :" meteor" light:
