To Subordinate Divisions.

The Grand Scribe has forwarded the Pass
words for the current quarter, to such Di-
visions as have had Deputies appointed since
the meeting Of the Grand Division in Dpcem-
Der last. If any have failed to receive them,
they will please let the Grand Scribe CA. NJ.

Attention is called to the following regula-
lions, adopted at the last session of the Grand
Division:
LIST. The Grand Scribe is instructed not to
furnish the Passwords to any Subordinate
Division that has not a D. G. w. P.
I'd. The Grand Scribe is instructedto with
hold the passwords from any Division that
fails to send regular quarterly Returns, &C
companied by the Dues to the G.. Division.
viz: ten cents on each of its members.
Sd. Deputies are positively and strictly en-
joined not to communicate the Passwords
until the Returns and Dues are forwarded to
the Grand Scribe.
These arc instructions Of the Grand Di-
vision, and its officers must not be blamed
for faithfully carrying them out.

For the Spirit of the Age.
The Cause Of Manv Diseases.
Warsaw,-Ala., Dee. 81, 1853.


Mr.. EDIToR:-It may not be amiss to note
a few physiological facts, which are almost
entirely overlooked or d~isregarded by the
masses of the people, but which are the
sources of a numerous train Of diseases, both
Of the acute and chrome character.
The openings of the Respiratory apparat-
US, which consists Of minute cylindrical tubes
that pass ~inwardly through the c%uticle, and
terminate In the deeper meshes of the CUTS
uer0, are very necessary to the general
and continuous health of the human body
When these are closed, which is always the
case where a free and constant use Of water
is neglected, a feyerish disposition Of the sys-
TEN is superinduced, which not unfrequently
| results in disease and sometimes death. The
parts becoming debilitated, and being left
unable to perform their proper functions in
the economy of conservation and recupera
ton, the system is predisposed to many dis
eases, and especially to those Of contagious
type.
am no ~hydropathist, but believe much in
WATER. Where this abundant element o.
nature is s~paringly applied, you may expect
to find filth and its cognate, disease, in grear
abundance.
That we may arrive at something like
correct estimate Of the perspiratory apparat
US and its great utility to health, | remark
that, the pores upon the palm of the hanC
amount to 1928 to every square inch of sur
face. Upon the surface, then, of the BODY
of a man of ordinary size, there are, at th'
least calculation, not less than 100000 o
pores each having an important office to per
form, upon which depend the health and lif
of the human being. Now each of thes
pores is an aperture ola little tube about on
quarter of an inch long, which is constant,
employed in carrying off redundant and IN
healthy secretions from the system. Tn
length of respiratory tube essential to tn
constant drainage of every mans system
amounts to 1870, 900 inches; that is, 145,
1913 feet, or As, 688 yards, or nearly TWEEN
TY-EIGHT MILES! Surely such an amour
of drainage as segenty-three feet to ever,
square inch of the system, demands the strict
est watchfulness upon the part Of every on
who would preserve his health and we ar
led to ask the question, "Nhat must be tn
effect if this drainage is Instructed
The prevailing ignorance of the p@slolog
ical laws by which our being is perpetuated
has led to many alarming results; nor nee
we expect much improvement in this diree
tim until Physiology becomes a popula

The Legislature.

No business Of importance has been trans
acted since our last, up to Saturday last, the
day to which leave of absence vas granted to
members. The two houses have. however,
met every day and adjourned over from day
to day, as required by the Constitution.
On Saturday last, being the first day of
January, Gov. Ellis was inauguratcd and on
Monday the business of legislation began
again. The general impression is that the
Legislature will not adjourn before the Sth
or 10th of February.
The following subjects have been made the
order of the day, in the legislature, for each
day in the first business week of the year.
Monday Sd Jan.-Bil for the amendment
of the Charter of the \. c.. Railroad Compa-
ny.
Tuesday 4th,-Coal Fields R. R. bill.
Wednesday 5th.-Wilmington, Charlotte
& Rutherford Railroad.
Thursday Gth.-Western y. c. Z 2.

gical survey.
Saturday 8th.-Appointment Of Nagis-
trates.

Woman's Sphere.

Great, indeed, is the task assigned to wo-
man. Who can exagerate its Importance?
Not to make laws, not to govern empires
but to form those by whom laws are made,
armies led, and empires governed; to guard
from the slightest faint of possible infirmity,
the frail and yet spotless creature, whose
moral, no less than physical being, must be
derived from her; to inspire those principles,
to inculcate those doctrines, to animate those
sentiments, which generations yet unborn,
and nations yet uncivilized, shall learn to
bless to soften firmness into mercy, to chas-
ten honor into virtue by her soothing cares
to allay the anguish of the mind by her
tenderness to disarm passion by her purity
to triumph over sense; to cheer the scholar
laboring under his toll to console the states
man for the ingratitude Of a mistaken people
to compensate for hopes that are blighted,
or the friends that are %peridious, for happi
ness that has passed away. Such is her vo
cation-tho cough ofthe tortured sufferer, tn,
prison of the deserted friend, the cross of tn
neglected SaViour-these are the theatres OF
which her greatest triumphs have been achiev
ed. Such is her destiny-to visit the forsa
ken, amid the forgetfulness of myriads to re
member; among the excavations of multitudes
to bless when monarchs abandon, whe
brethren and disciples fly, to remain unsha
ken and unchanged, to exhibit in this lowe
world a type Of that lOve-pure, constan
and inefable-which in another world, 8
we are taught to believe, is the best rewar
of virtue,

Our Colporteur system,

We feel so sensibly its value and capacity
to accomplish SO much for the advancement
of temperance, that We hope to be pardoned
for so frequently calling attention to it. But
we shall not impose along article on the SUBJ
ject now;-we only desire to urge the
Divisions to read the Report, &C., and the
proceedings of the G. d. on the subject, so as
to understand the system, and then appoint
Colporteurs, and write to Bro. Rich'd. Sterling,
at Greensboro, and get a supply of Tracts,
&c, these valuable helpers in the great work
of reform.
He would also be pleased to receive brief
articles on the subject of Temperance, and
especially upon our Order, such as would be
suitable for four page Tracts. We want to
get up a series of North Carolina Tracts. We
have not room to extend our remarks, but
more anon.

The Horse

Prof. Lanier has been exciting the wonder
and admiration of the people h~ereabouts, at
his great success in tanning and making do
Gle wild and vicious horses subjected to his
treatment, And it is truly wonderful and
worthy ofpublic attention. But Mr.. Browns
unriTalled Receipts for curing the diseases of
this noble animal, are equally as successful
and truly worthy of public esteem. To con-
quer the vicious propensities Of horse is
often more easily accomplished, than it is to
conquer the diseases which destroy so many
of his species. See Mr.. Browns advertise
ment headed The Horse" and then send to
him 81 and get the secret of how to save the
life Of your horse and keep him healthy and
vigorous.

mics, and Common Schools. Ignorance up
on this subject in any generation, does not
conflnelts deleteriouS effects alone upon those
who are the perpetrators of the evil in ques-
ton but alas for our posterity, they are
made to be the future sufferers for our folly.
The indiscretion of a vain and foolish mother,
IN dressing her body improperly that she may
appear trim and beautiful in the ball room,
has entailed upon her future offspring a de-
bilitated and deformed body. The simple act
of wearing flannel a day or two too long with
out changing it, has laid the foundation for
a debllltated and sickly system the remainder
OF life. The practice of wearing Indian Rub
Der ~over-shoes, as they are destitute of po-
rosity and cause all the excretions thrown off
from the feet to be absorbed by the system,
has brought many a stout and hardy youth
to an untimely grave.
There is scarcely one man in five hundred,
taking all classes together, learned or unlearn-
ed, who pays proper attention to his skim
This most beautiful envelope of the corpus

physical functions with the respiratory or
