To shave or not to Shave.

Disseminating this operation from all tradlhon-
dvesting ourselves for the moment OF all conserVa
tism-laying aside for the time being our veneraton
for an institution simply because it is old in short
suppose man were to-day for the first time in the
history of Ie race to put TO his face for the
purpose of serapng it smooth what chance would he
have to escape being clapped without delay into
lunatc asylum. Considered in tie lightto which we
have alluded, can any thing be more ridiculous In
deed, is it not something more than ridiculous-ab
soluteiy painfully serious. Think of many millions
of people, daily committing this assault on their per
SONS and suffering the pains andpenates consequent
thereon. Talk of the sefinfictcd penance by means
of thongs, of the monks of olden time. That was
sensible in comparison for it reminded them of sins
to be avoided or duties to be performed but this is
perpetual war upon benifcent purpose OF nature,
in which the assaultng party is not only worsted by
every success but nature is continually making re-
prisals in various ways. Can any person gravely
suppose that Nature has caused this hair to grow
for no other purpose than to make business for ra
Zor aud soap manufacturers, and tax the time and
patience of men to scrape it off Beyond question
it has a function TO perform in the healthy economy
of the system: a fact sufficiently demonstrated by
the circumstance that the more you scrapcit off the
more Nature rushes to the rescue and pushes it Wig
orousy forth. Nor does it require any great exor-
else of reason to infer that this continual draft upon
the life forces to rcpcl this perpetual assault upon
the face, must necessarily weaken the healthy deen-
ces of other portions Of the face and system general
ly, and correspondingly generate disease Think OF
it, you with weak eyes, aching teeth, tic dooreaux,
bronchial affections, &c &c. and repent Ger 1t be
too late.
1t is gratifying to observe that the world is gradu-
ally returning to its senses in this respect Indeed
from the progress of very few years it is safe to
conclude that the smooth chins among those whom
Nature has for its own wise ends given this hlrsute
covering, will form an exception to the general rule
and will be esteemed among rational people very
much as are those barbariuns who esteem it duty
to cultivate bare and polished scalp.
