Let their early jcara be passed, if possible, in the country, gathering flowers io the field, and partaking of all the frte excrcisat' in which they delight. When the) grow older, do not condemn them to .sit 8 listless hours of the day over their hook?, their work, their maps, and thevr music. Be assured that half the t'umber of hour passed in real attentiou to well ordered t llS I Mr all MnlA HsWi MAPA ftr-4"vmi studies, will make them more accom pushed and more agrees; ble companions than those commonly are who have been most elaborately finished, in the modern acceptation ofthe term. The systems by which vounir ladies are taught to move their limbs according to the rules of art, to come into a room with studied diffidence, and te step into a carriage with measured acV 'on and premeditated grace, are only c Jculated to kep the degrading idea perpetually present, that they are pr oaring for the great market of the wo, Id.

Let them rise early and retire early to rest, and trust that their beauty will not need to be coined into artificial smiles in order to secure a welcome, whatever room they enter. Iet them ride, walk, run, dance, in the open air. Encourage thc merry and innocent diversions tn which the young delight; let them, under proper guidance, explore every hill and valley; let them plant and cultivate the gar den, and make hay when the summer sunshines, nnd surmount ail dread of a shower of rain or the boisterous wind ; and, above all, let them take no medicine except when the doctor orders it. The demons of hysteria nnd melan choly might hover over a group fof young ladies so brought up; but they would not find one of them upon whom they could exercise ny power. ANTIQUITY OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE. We read in Genesis, that ships were as old, even in the Mediterranean, as the days of Jacob. We likewise read that the Phillistines brought thirty thousand chariots into the field against Sanl; so that chariots were in use ljOTO years before Christ. And about the same time architecture was brought into Europe. And 1,030 years be fore Christ, Amnion built long and tall

ships with sails, on the Red Sea and!as fair as thedriven snow a rosy hueDetrj.,3 nenrlj finished,

Mediterranean. And about 90 vears after, the ship Argo was built; which was the first Greek vessel that venturned to pass through the sea, by the help of sails, without sight of land, be - ing guided only by the stars. Dedaiu also, who lived 9S0 years before Christ,! made sails for ships, and invented several sort of tools, for carpenters and joiners to work with. He also made several moving statues, which could walk or run of themselves. And. about 800 rears before Christ, we find n9rKnn w lk-il ITt... -. J Jerusalem, engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. Corn mills were early invented; for we read in Deuteronomy that it was not lawful for any man to take the nether or the upper millstone to aledze, yet water was not annhed to mills before the year of Christ COO, nor windmills used before the years L200. Likewise 580 vears before . Clrtst, we read in Jeremiah xriii. or

the potter's wheeL Archttas was the first that applied mathematics to mechanics, but left no mathematical writings behind him; be made a wooden pigeon that could fly about. Archimedes, who lived about 200 years before Christ, was a most subtle geometer and mechanic. He made engines that drew op the ships of Marcellus at the siege of Syracuse; and others that

would cast a stone of a prodigious weight to a great distance, or else several lesser stones, as also darts and arrows; but there have been many fabulous reports concerning these engines. He also made a sphere which showed the motion ofthe sun, moon and planets. And Polidonius, afterwards, made another which showed the same thing. In these days the liberal arts flour ished, and learning met with proper encouragement; but afterwards, they becaine lected for a Ion- time -5 - Aristotle, who lived about two hundred and nirety years before Christ, was one of the first that writ any methodical discourse of mechanics. Rut at this time, the art was contained in a very little compass, there being scarce any thing more known about it than six mechanical powers. In this state it continued tiR the sixteenth century, and then clock work was invented, and about 1650, were the first clocks made. At time, several of the most eminent mathemticians began to coiwtder mechanics, and, bv their study and in dustry hare prodigiously enlarged its bounds, and made it a moat comprehensive science. It extends through heaven anJ earlh. thc whoJe universe, Ild every part of it, is its subject.

Iu thc itlandof Ceylon, in the Indian the midst of them sat several venerable figures, who amused them with encom iums upon some medicines, which they assured tliem would afford infallible relief in all cases. One boasted of an elixir another of a powder, brought from America a third, of a medicine, invented and prepared in Germany all of which they said were certain an tidotes to thc gout a fourth, cried up a nostrum for thc vapours a fifth, drops forth? gravel a sixth, abalsam prepared fiom honey, as a sovereign remedy for a consumption a seventh, a pill for cutaneous eruptions while an eighth cried down the whole, and extolled a mineral water, which lay a few miles from the place where they were assembled. The credulous multitude partook eagerly of these medicines, without any relief of their respective complaints. Several of those who made use ofthe antidotes to the gout, were hurried suddenly out of the world. Some said their medicines were adulterated others, that the doctors had mistaken their disorders while most of them agree d, that they were much worse than ever. While they were all, with one accord, giving vent, in this manner, to the transports of disappointment and vexation a clap of thunder was heard over their heads. Upon looking up, a light was seen in the sky.

It contained directions to each of them, what they should do to restore their health. They ail prepared tliemselves to obey the advice ofthe heavenly vision. The gouty man broke bis vial of elixir, threw his powders into the tire, and walked four or five miles every day before breakfast. The man afflicted with the gravel, threw aside his drops, and began to work in his garden or to play two or three hours every day at bowl?. The hypochondriac and hysteric patients discharged their boxes of asafoctida, and took a journey on horseback to distant and opposite eds of the island. The melancholic threw aside his gloomy systems of philosophy, and sent tor a dancing master. The studious man shut up his folios, and sought amusements from the sports of children. The leper threw away his mercurial pills, and swum every day in thc iieighborin ri ver, lhe consumptive man threw ' his balsam out of his window, and took a voyage to a distant countrv.

CHICAGO. !n a lon letter from' a traveller at the West to the edlfc-r ofthe Alhuiiv Aririia. wo find the lowing interesting statements- i Chicago is about 300 miles west of! Detroit, by the route at ptesent and usually travelled. It is a town beautifully situated at the head of Lake Michigan, on the western side of it, and is unquestionably destined to become one of the large cities of the far and great west. It is at the head of lake navigation, and vessels and steamboats of the largest size mav d.iss to and from Buffalo and Chicago, thus presenting these two points iu promi nent contrast.

The Chicago river is formed by the confluence of two branches; which are called the North and South branch and the confluence is directly in the centre ofthe town; and from the Point (so called, where the it winds along until it with those of the lake from the Point. At th river, the government intendence of Major George Bender. the commanding officer at Fort Dearbom, a gentleman of deservedly high reputation in the army. The river is navigable with twenty three or four feet of water, up to the Point, and up each bracch for a considerable distance. The harbor being completed.

When this route lall be established, you may travel from Albany to St. IxmU in nine days'! and it will combine such advantages of certainty, safety comfort, and expedition, to say nothing of the reat attraction of country and places through which it will pass, that in my opinion it will be the great thorough
