not so much by red or chesnut hair, blue eyes, &c., as by the shape of the body. It gives a stout, square built, thick set, stocky form; depth and breadth, and often roundness of shoulders, and thus a capacious chest ; arms far apart and set well back; well developed abdomen; a full strong pulse; large and strong lungs; a powerful voice; short, sound, and well-set teeth ; plumpness of person; wide nostrils; abundant flesh; red face, the skin every where showing a great supply and flow of blood; hair abundant, and often curly; a capaci. ty for enduring fatigue, privation and exposure; a tough, iron constitution, or what is called BOTTOM, (erroneously atiributed to the bilious temperament;) a great love of physical action, of amusements, of fresh air, and out-of-door exercise, though not of hard work; a restlessness which cannot endure confinement in-doors; and a desire to be all the time doing something to work off the constantly accumulating energies of the system. Generally, though not always, the hair is bushy; the face flushed or suffused with blood; the countenance florid, and often handsome; the limbs, neck, &c., short, and thick set, and large in circumference; and the whole person, head included, built on the short, broad, and thick set, instead of on the long and tall, principle.

This organization gives a tough, strong constitution; great powers of endurance; a great supply of animal liie and vigour, to be worked off either by the muscles in physical action, or by the brain, in thought and feeling; great ardour of desire; great zeal and enthusiasm; powerful feelings, passions and impulses, and a susceptibility of high excitement, as well as sensitiveness to the influence of both mental and physical stimuli; a hearty relish for food, particularly animal, for condiments, sleep, &c., and a great enjoyinent of animal life and pleasure as such.

Persons in whom this temperament predominates, show their talents in business, natural shrewdness, and management, more than in hard study, or direct reasoning, or fondness for books. They have usually more of practical common sense than book learning; and of general information about men and things, such as they pick up from observation, newspad'.

promotes holiness of mind; but that an inflamed or impure body, kindles the animal passions. Both the religious feelings and the talents are more affected by the various conditions of the body, and especially of the stomach—by food, drink, physical habits, sickness, health, &c.,--than most people suppose. Hence, fasting promotes piety; fulness of bread kindles sinful desires; intlammation of the brain produces insanity; and its inaction causes stupor, &c. When the pious Christian, or the profound thinker, has eaten too much, or induced a severe cold or fever, or in any other way clogged or disordered his bodily functions, the former can no more expect to be “clothed with the spirit,” or to be borne upward on the wings of devotion, nor the latter to bring his mental energies into full and efficient action, than they can make the sun stand still, or the water to run upwards. “A strong mind in a healthy body,” beautifully and forcibly expresses this truth, and also embodies the experience of past ages and of all mankind. In short, as soon may we question the evidence of our senses, as controvert the position that mind and body each powerfully and reciprocally affect the other; for every member of the human family constantly feels this truth.

Again: these relations between body and mind are governed by certain invariable laws of cause and effect, certain conditions of the one inducing and causing the corresponding states of the other. The principle, that whenever a part of a given class of phenomena are governed by laws of cause and effect, every phenomenon of that class is governed by these saine laws, is a universal principle of nature, and inay be relied upon in every conceivable application. If a part of the phenomena of vision be governed by the laws of optics, every phenomenon of vision experienced by man or I rute since the creation, has been governed by the same law. 11 a few bo lily motions are caused by muscular contraction, all are caused by the same contraction. Should millions of dag. gers be driven through the herrts of as many human beings, they would in every instance, procluce death. Let any or every member of the human family take opium, or its corrpounds, and one and all will experience its legitimate eilets. These illustrations will apply to every law of nature.

And if this be true of the study of mind, how infinitely more true is it of the means of operating on mind. To attempt to operate on mind—to reform mankind, educate mankind, produce moral purity in man's feelings or conduct, by means of motives and appeals addressed to the mind merely, will be comparatively a failure. The first step towards making mankind wiser or better-towards disciplining their minds, purifying their motives, diminishing their vices, promoting virtue and happiness, &c.—is to rectify their physiology. As long as it is in an inflamed, or rather enfeebled or diseased condition, to attempt to elevate man in the scale of moral or intellectual excellence, is as vain as to sow blasted seed upon the barren rock, or plant tropical flowers in Siberia. It is like operating with feeble weapons upon effects, yet allowing their causes to remain in full force. Preach to men ever so eloquently, ever so piously, ever so prayerfully, and add revivals and all the means of grace, while their bodies are soaked in alcoholic liquors—as well attempt to stay the fierce winds by raising your puny hands or will against them, or arrest the flowing tide by the voice of command. Moralists and religionists have yet to learn that reform must begin and be continued, by throwing the body into a healthy condition.

If this doctrine be so construed as to imply the doctrine of materialism, be it so. This inference will not alter the fact of the existence of these relations. Besides, those who insist on the correctness of this inference, as drawn from these premises, are themselves the main advocates of materialism; for, as to the correctness of these premises, there cannot be the least possible question. They are matters of daily and constant experience and obserration. Whichever be the cause, and whichever the effect, however-whether the organization and physical condition be the cause, and govern, and the mental state be the etrect; or whether the mental constitution be the cause of organization, and govern that organization, -affects neither the correctness nor importance of the inference; and let not so valuable a truth be discarded-so valuable a means of improving the mind and angmenting our happiness as this principle unfolds, because of this inference, whichever way it may be decided.
