tiOu. % perfect by it, rcpOsc the animal system.
You may easily determine this question by try
ing it ueasts of burden. Take a horse, and
put him % the full extent Of hi- power every day
IN the week. or give him rest one day in seven,
and you would soon perceive, by the vigJr with
which he performs on the other six days that his
rest is necessary % his well-being Man, Possess
ing superior nature, Is borne along by the visur
of his mind, - that the injury Of continued dur
nal exertiOn and excitement in his animal system
Il not apparent as IL in the brute, but in the
long run il breaks down more suddenly: il abrid-
ges the length of his life and that vgor of his old
age, which (as mere animal power) ought to be .
an object Of ms preservation.
