Health for the PeOnIe.

The National Intelligencer gives account of
an organization of ladies, called the American
Women's Educational Association, whose object
is to promote improved modes of education, espe-
cally in reference to their own SEX and who aim
TO direct attention to the distinctive duties of
women, the educator of the mind, the guardian
of early health, and the consecrator of domestic
economy and the family state They set forth
facts which have brought them to the conviction
that the customs of domestic life and the modes Of
education during the present century have induced
uniuersal debility Of constitution, and in conse
quence decay of national health. Two things
they regard generally conceded, viz: that the
American women are not as healthy as the Eu
ropean, and that the present generation-especialy
the women-sre not as healthy and vigorous 40
former ones.
The causes assigned are close stores; close sleep
ing rooms; too little exercise, and too much meat
aud stimulating food too much stimulus of the
brain among children; the fashions of female dress,
tight stays. thin Shoes &c. If the Womens Edu-
cational Association can bring about a change in
these particulars, they will indeed be public bene

The Mount Vernon Association.

The lecture of Mr. EVERETT drew a crowded
and most intelligent audience to the First Baptist
Church, and the proceeding must help to give an
impulse to the cause the Ladies' Association have
in hand After Mr.. EVERETT had concluded, on
behalf of the ladies' Governor WISE thanked him
and incidentally made brief speech, in which he
touched upon some interesting points in the life OF
Washington. He referred with much earnestness
and feeling to the cooperation of Massachusetts and
Virginia in the revolutionary struggle; to the fact
that it was a voice from Massachusetts that first
called WASHINGTON to the head of the Republican
army, and to the delicate tribute paid by him to
that State at the close of the war, when on the
plains of Yorktown, he hasded the sword of CORN
WALLIS to General LINCOLN of 'Massachusetts-
These appropriate illusions in presence of the dis
tinguished orator and statesman who had Just en-
raptured the audience by his eloquence were much
