THE above cut, with the character of the man, beautifully illustrates the principles advanced in the first chapter on the temperaments. The higher portions of the head and face being predominant, indicate a supremacy of the higher functions of the mind and body. In this organization there is every thing that indicates the scholar, for which he is noted. The intellectual and moral brain are amply developed. He has great range of mind, liberality of thought, and desire to do good. His life and happiness are sacrificed to that object, although opposition at times has been violent against him. His writings, all of which bear the reformatory spirit of the age, are very voluminous; he is looked upon as one of

the first writers in Germany, and has for many years enjoyed the honors of professorship in different institutions of learning, and whatever he says has authority about it superior to that of most men.

MICHA EMERSON.

The above is a correct representation, from life, of a man forty-five years of age, who never spoke a word, or made an intelligent sound, or did the least thing toward taking care of himself. His nervous susceptibilities were very limited, and his sources of enjoyment were only animal and physical. His brain was very small, and imperfectly developed; having a very thick skull and integuments; was more helpless than a child two years old. He is a positive proof that mind is dependent upon the brain and the nervous system for action, and that the inferiority of the one is in harmony with the other.

"Look on that picture-then on this." Can you draw an inference?

PHRENOLOGY IN MONTREAL, CANADA.

Ir gives us great pleasure to announce to our numerous friends and patrons in Canada, that Dr. G. RUSSEL, graduate of the Geneva Medical College, N. Y.-formerly of Edinburgh, Scotland-has recently founded an extensive Phrenological Cabinet and Bookstore in Montreal, where he expects to practice the science. Being personally acquainted with Dr. Russel, we can assure our readers that they will find in him a competent examiner, a good lecturer, and in every respect, a good and worthy man. We most heartily welcome him into the great phrenological field, where such co-workers are so much needed. May he be liberally patronized and sustained. We have already shipped him a large quantity of our publications, and duplicates of our phrenological specimens. Montreal should possess a splendid cabinet.

ARTICLE LIII.

MATERNITY; OR THE BEARING AND NURSING OF CHILDREN, INCLUDING FEMALE EDUCATION AND BEAUTY. BY O. S. FOWLER.

THIS work, announced long ago, has finally made its appearance. Its subject may be inferred from the following quotation from its preface:

"THAT the various states of the mother's mind and body, before the birth of offspring, go far toward determining their health or debility, amiableness or illnature, intelligence or stupidity, and all their other mental characteristics, is a momentous truth which all prospective mothers should fully understand, and which renders child-bearing inconceivably mementous in its influence on human destiny. To the elucidation and enforcement of this eventful law of nature, this work is devoted. It teaches mothers what regimen and conditions, in them, will'secure the best-constituted children; shows how to provide beforehand for a safe and easy delivery; teaches husbands what duties they owe their wives during pregnancy and nursing; gives directions respecting infantile regimen, and the early habits and management of children; and, last but not least, it shows how to prepare girls to bear a far higher order of children, as well as how to rear them after they are borne; that is, it shows how to fit them for the great function of the female, namely, CHILD-BEARING and REARING. It moreover, in doing this, analyzes female beauty. In short, it reflects upon this whole subject the sunlight of Phrenology, Physiology, and Magnetism; and as such, supplies a connecting link between the author's other works on man's social relations. Thus, his " Matrimony" treats selection, courtship, and married life phrenologically; his " Hereditary Descent" applies the laws of transmission to the perfection of the original constitution of offspring, by showing what unions will produce the most highly endowed germs of humanity; while his "Love and Parentage" teaches husbands and wives into what states of mind and body they should throw themselves in order to stamp the highest order of mental and physical organization upon prospective offspring, or how to parent offspring. This work crowns the climax, by teaching mothers how to carry children, that is, how to manage themselves while fulfilling the highest and only specific relations of the femal, as such, namely, the maternal. His " Physi"Self-Culture," ology," Memory," Religion," etc., then complete this range of subjects, by showing how to conduct the physical, intellectual, and moral education and government of the young in accordance with the physical, mental, and moral laws of our being. When mankind understand and obey the laws of love, matrimony, generation, maternity, and education, will the millennium open upon our benighted world in very deed, and our race be regenerated and infinitely exalted, but not till then. Right education can do much, yet infinitely more when its subjects are endowed by nature with strong physical, high moral, and powerful intellectual capabilities, than when they are weakly, vicious, and addle-brained by constitution. These reproductive and educational laws, understood and applied, will almost banish sin and suffering from our earth, restore to all mankind the garden of Eden in tenfold luxuriance, and render our world a literal paradise of holiness and happiness. Man, so far from being a base-born son of perdition, “is created in the image and likeness of God" himself, and all required to restore to him his primitive godlike capabilities and perfections, is right generation, bearing, and education. Prospective mothers, be conjured, by all the ecstasy of maternal joy with which splendid children will swell your exulting souls, and by all that untold shame and anguish with which their inferiority and depravity will rend your souls perpetually, to learn and fulfill these infinitely-momentous relations.

One additional quotation must suffice for the present, as we shall probably recur to the work hereafter.

"Bear it then in mind, ye mothers of our race, that as you are while bearing every child, so will be that child. Every pulsation of health in you, will throb through their young veins. Every pang of grief you feel, will leave its painful scar on the forming disk of their souls. Every flash of sweet and pleasurable emotion you experience, will sweeten and beautify, not their conduct merely, but stamp the original impress of amiableness and goodness upon their inmost souls. Every intellectual effort you put forth, will it not render them the more thoughtful by nature, the more fond of study, the more clear-headed, contemplative, intelligent, and talented? And every exercise of anger, every feeling of temper, every item of crossness and fretfulness in you, at this period, will it not brand this hating and hateful spirit into their inmost souls, to haunt them as long as they exist, here or hereafter? Will you, then, render them demoniacal, when you can make them angelic? Will you even give this eventful subject the go-by? What other compares with it, in its momentous bearing on your and their present and eternal health, virtue, and happiness? Why have mothers thus neglected it? And will you still continue to render your own dear children devils incarnate-and that by your own sinfulness-instead of imbuing them with the spirit of love and goodness, by cultivating the heavenly virtues in your own souls? Hear, O ye mothers of our race! Learn the mighty import of those eventful relations you are compelled to fulfill. Turn a deaf ear ye who will, and, worse than the neglectful ostrich, torture your children, and, through them, your own selves, with satanic predispositions; and, when grown, flay them alive, in vain attempts to beat out of them, by the cruel lash, what your own selves burnt into their inner natures in embryo; but ye who are true to your maternal relations, will pause-will pray for light, and eagerly clasp to your maternal bosom, whatever will enable you to stamp a higher and holier impress upon your prospective little ones. Oh, I do admire the motherly in woman-the love she bears to her darling infant! Every thing which appertains to this subject, sweeps the most powerful chord of woman's soul with, to her, the most thrilling of all notes. Woman, married and single, I know I shall have your eyes, ears, and inmost souls. Nothing else do you equally desire to learn. Nothing else compares with this in intrinsic interest, or in its bearing on human destiny."

TALK ABOUT CHILDREN.

MOTHER. There's our daughter, Clara, she don't pretend to mind a word I say to her, and grows worse and worse. But I guess she'll mind when her father comes in, for she always does about as he tells her.

FRIEND. Does he whip her?

M. No. I don't think he ever struck her a blow in his life.

F. Do you ?

M. Yes. I have to cuff her smartly sometimes, she provokes me so. F. That's the reason she will not mind you. You just this moment refused to let her go to a neighbor's, when there was no reason whatever for such refusal.* You fail to get her love by these trifling indulgences, which cost you nothing, and then provoke her anger often by cuffing her; but your husband does not outrage her Combativeness, and she therefore minds him. Is not this proof of the influences of whipping?

* It was on this refusal that she made her first remark.
