ing willing to sanction the contract with the colon
zation society for the education Of the negroes Of

INTERESTING TO THE BEARDED.-A VIII
ley in the Boston Post has the following
pithy communication | have seen i
stated somewhere that there is an intimate
connection between the nerves and mus
Giles of the face and eyes, and allowing
the beard 10 grow strengthens the eye
1t is said that surgeons in the French ar
nv have proved by experiment in Africa
that soldiers wearing the beard are less Ii
able TO disease of the eye, and il is gener'
ally conceded that i. is a protection from
diseases Of the throat and lungs. Ii is
asserted that in countries where 1t is the
custom TO wear the beard, he eye retains
its lustre and briliancy much longer. 1t
may be argued that females do not suffer
more than the males from diseases OF the
eyes, &c.. BUTT must be admitted they
are much less exposed 10 the elements.
What did the Creator give the lords of
creation beard for Certainly not to
support BARRIERS. There is just as much
sense in shaving the head as the chin.
