INITIATING WAsHINGToN.-A young friend of
ours tells the following story of himself
When young, he had read the well known story
of George Washington's love of the noble
principle of his son, so well manifested on tho
occasion referred to of Georges cutting down
the cherry tree, acknowledging his transac-
tion, and receiving full and free pardon, be-
sides praises and kind caresses from his father.
So jim, actuated by SO noble an example,
thought he would try the experiment on. He
supplied himself with the hatchet, and going
into his fathers orchard, cut down some choice
fruit trees. He then coolly sat down to await
the old mans coming, and as soon as he made
disappearance, marched up to him with, avery
importont air and cknowledged the deed, ex-
pecting the next thing the programme to
be tears, benediction and embraces from the
offended parent. But sad to relate, instead of
this, the old gentleman caught up hickory
and gave him an ssall fired lanming. ."-Pnts-

OUTDOOR EXERCISE AND RECREATION.

Some few weeks since the London Tinles pub
lshed an article on the relative degrees of health
and longevity of the people of Great Britain and
of the United States, in which the superiority Of
the former country in both respects was broadly
asserted The writer attributed the dwindling OF
the American race, as he was pleased 10 term 1t,
to the endemical diseases of yellow and other 10
yers with which portions of our country are uh-
happily afflicted, aud to the impropriety In the
manner of living. To the letter more than to tho
former cause is owing, think, the results men
toned. The errors in this respect commence with
the child Instead of giving it such an education
will produce full physical Development by
constant outdoor exercise, it is confined in close
nursery and subjected to a mode of treatment pre-
cisely opposite to the proper one. The frame is
at the outset made weak and puny; and habits are
engendcred and diseases contracted which cling
to it during the time when vcrging towards what
should be maturity of strength and beauty, which
itnevcr reaches And thus in the very morning
of life, when the sensations have the untiring ac
tiyity which novelty begets. the mind is, through
lack of vigor and development Of the body, filed
with Iangour, deJection and despair, and diverted
from its most noble and devoted aspirations.
There is but one method of establishing and pre-
serving the good health and physical develop
ment of people, and that is proper degree OF
healthy exercise and recreation, both before and
after the period of intellectual maturity. Infants
should be upon all suitable occasions carried into
| gardens and other open spaces of country. where
they breathe fresh air, and soon as they are
able walk, and at later period, should be al
| lowed to walk, romp: and indulge in the various
| delightful amusements which the impulses OF in
| genious youth dictate. The unhealthy restraints
in dress which foolish fashion has imposed should
be abolished in order that the lungs and less del
icate organizations of the system should have full
| play TO perform their functions and expand to
their greatest natural development With the ad-
vance of the moro vigorous and aspiring efforts of
intellect, athletic games and employment of a
more manly and corresponding character should
be freely INDUCED in, having in view the increas-
ed physical strength and more mature judgment
These exercises should take place daily, and as
much as possible in the open air, and walking at
different periods of the day should constitute one
. | of their most important features. And, finally,
when the delightful visions of youth give place TO
| the cold cautious and calculating ideas of the ex-
perienced, this bodily exercise should be daily
continued, and with the hours set apart for ii
should be also allotted hours for intellectual and
other recreations, which shall unbend the mind
from the cares and vicissitudes of business and
household duties, and give it corresponding vi
yacious and healthy exercise with the body.
