twenty4ene, twenty two, or one or two years
s,ill oider. The unsound condition and con-
siitation Of the PARENTS usually transmitted,
with Increased intensity, to the offspring.
By he laws of Lycurgus, the most special
attention was paid to the physical education
Of women, and no delicate or sickly women
were. on any account, allowed to marry
Or. Johnson, in his work son the economy
Of health" says that matrimQny should not
be contracted before the first year Of the
fourth centennial, on the part of the, lady,
nor before the last year Of the same, in the
case of the gentleman in other words, the
female should be at least twenty one years
of age, aud the male twenty-eight years
The doctor says there should be difference
Of at least seven years, between the sexes, at
whatever period of life the connection is
contracted. There is difference of seven
years, not in the actual duration Of life, in
The two sexes, but in the stamina Of the con-
stitution, the symmetry Of theform, and the
Inca ments Of the face. In respect to early
marriage, SO far as it concerns the softer sex,
for every year at which marriage is entered
upon before the age Of twenty-one, there
will be, on an average, three years Of prema-
ture decay, more or less apparent, OF the
corporal fabric.

SHORT LETTERS TO OVERsEERs.
NUMBER ONE.

NUMBER ONE.
DR.. CLoUD-Dear Sir: Few positions
in life arc more responsible than that of an
ovcrsccr on Southern plantation, and it is
to be feared that many persons undertake it
without bciug aware of its responsibilities.
You will therefore not think it amiss, if |
preface what 1 have to say with few re-
marks upon the nature of the vocation IN
which you are engaged. An oversecr is the
equal of his employer; he is his conyfde"fi"
agent. He is entrusted with the care of his
employers estate, and upon the fidelity with
which he discharges that trust, in very
large degree, must depend the prosperity of
that estate. You are just as responsible as
the head clerk to whom the merchant would
entrust the management of his mercantile af-
fairs; or the superintendent to whom the
capitalist would confde manufacturing es-
tablshment; or the teacher to whom a pa
rent would commit the education of his chill
dren. The nature of the trust is precisely
the same in your case that it is in either OF
the other instances, though the duties which
you may have to perform are different. Nor
is your trust less complex than that Of either
of the other agents to which I have referred.
The management of Southern plantation
involves faithful attention to great variety
of details From the proper treatment of
the slaves that are placed under you, down
to the most trifing matter on the plantation,
are thousand interests demanding your at
tention, and if you are unfaithful in any of
these particulars, the interests of your en-
ployers must suffer somewhat. You have in
your hands not only the result of the crop,
and to that extent, the annual income of
your employer, but the health and lives of
the negroes, the care Of the live stock and
the farming utensils, are all, in great mea-
sure, entrusted to your keeping, and thus
you control not only the annual income, but
the active investment of your employer
With all these interests in your hands, you
perceive that you are entrusted not only with
the estate, but very largely with the peace of
mind and consequent happiness of those who
employ you. Surely, then, yours is re-
sponsible office, and it would be we'll if you
should impress upon your mind sense of
this responsibility. Every principle of hon.
esty and fair dealing requires that you should
not carelessly undertake the duties of re-
lation which involves so much of responsible
ity. So necessary do I regard, that you
should fully appreciate the importance of
this thought, that will not divide your at
tention by introducing any other thought in
this letter. You will hear from ME again
next month. JUsTUs.
