GREEK ANr1QuIrrEs.--A letter
from Athens states that a peasant
Of the Peloponessus, while lately
digging IN field, found two an
hque statues ii aat@te Of preser-
walton, and Of remarkably fine exc
cutlon. One represents Apollo
bearing q Tyre, and the other g
handsome young female. They
both appear to have belonged to
the time Of PraxiteIes, and their
renown has already become so great
IN Greece, that a great number Of
persons have gone to see them
The English Minister at Athens
went to the place on first hearing.

the letter states, that they eyentn

/ EFFECT IF OLD PERSONS SLEEP
ING WITH YoUNe.-A habit which
Is considerably prevalent in almost
every famil y, Of allowing children
to sleep with older persons, has
ruined the nervous vivacity and
physical energy Of many promis-
ing child. Those having dear old
friends, whose lives they would
like to perpetuate at the sacrifice
Of their innocent offspring, alone
should encourage this evil; but
every parent who loves his children,
and wishes to preserve to him a
sound nervous system. with which
to buffet successfully the cares, sor-
rows and labor Of lie must see to
| it, that his nervous vitality is not
absorbed by some diseased Or aged
relative. ,-z. =.~#s.~..
Children, compared With adults,
are electrically IN a positive condi-
tion. The rapid changes which
are going on in their little bodies,
abnndantly generate and as exten-
slvely work up vital nervo- electric
fluids. But when By contract for
long nights, with elder and mega
tive persons, the vitalizing electrici-
ty Of their tender organizations is
absorbed, they soon pine, grow
pale, languid and dull, while their
bed companions feel a eorrespon-
ding lnvigoration. King David, |
the Psalnlist, knew the effect Of |
this practice, and when he became
old, got certain young persons to
sleep with him, that his days might
be heightened. Or. Hufeland, the i
German physiologist, attributes the
frequent longevity Of schoolmasters
to their daily association with
young persons.
Invalid mothers often prolon9
their existence By daily Contact
with their: children, [ once knew
a woman who, BY weak lungs and
mineral doctors, had been prestra-
tee with incurabIe consumption
Her infant occupied the same bed
with her almost constantly day and
night. The mother fingered for
months on the verge Of the grave
Her demise being hourly expected.
Still she fingers on, daily disprov
ing the predictions OF her medical
attendants. The child meanwhile :
pined, without any apparent dis +
5ase. It's once fat little cheeks fell :
away with singular rapidity, till !
every bonv in its face was visible.
Finally it had impaired to the
mother its last spark Of vitality, :
me simultaneously both died. / !
;aW it recently stated in q news
paper, that a man in Massachusetts !
lad lived forty-one days without :
