This faithful ani - this intimate connexion between the mind mal had accompanied Mr- W. in the water, and body, we cannot doubt that mental labour calls into action some organ, Ind that, of contued for a great length of time, it will fatigue, and may injuim this organ, and ua6t it for ns accustomed duties, just as too much excitement of the beast or stomach -will io'ure these organa, and de- range the circulation and digestion. 1f thews observations are true, (and that they are i thick can be abundantly proved,) every person tell perceive, that an cultivat- ing the mental powers of children, we sbon'd be less anxious to ascertain how rapidly lad to bow great au extent they may be developed, than how much the de- licate organ or organs by which the nand acts may be excited without ialury to the body or the mind. Very dfferent views, I am aware, respect - tog the education of children, prevail in thiscountry. In most schools, the important' of a sound body, and a well-developed or- ganization to the production of correct and long continued mental action has been overlooked; and both parents and teacher, bate chiefly laboured to discover the gnick- est methods of developing the minds of mental children, without once thinking that ental labour itself eould injure any part of the corporeal system. But in commencing the inquiry u to the influence which the cultivation of the mind has upon the health of the body. it will be tree y first to ascertain what part or organ of the human system r. called into ethers by mental labour, ted then to trace the effect which this labour has upon that part of the system, and upon other organs of the body, at different period' of life.

The dog, from the moment his master sank, continued to swim in s circuit of some fifty feet, howling and barking, for about two hours. The continued cries of the dog, uttered in the most pitiful and lamentable strains known to the race, at- tracted the attention of neighbors from the shore, who at length went to the dog, and recognizing him, concluded,- from his sor- rowful ene.-and earnest,nanner, that kis matter was to the water. This proved to be so; on searchiog, his body was found within the etrcuit made by the dog, as he swam round and round. When the. body of has muter was ' into the boat, noth- ing could exceed the expree.ioo of joy mani- fe.ted by the faithful animal, which, quite exhausted and feeble, was taken into the boat along with the body.
