One having the active temperament predominant, the powerful, full or large, and the animal average to full, will dif fr from the preceding description only in his being smaller, taler in proportion, and more spare. He will have a reflective, t..nking, planning, discriminating cast of mind; a great fondrss for literature, science, and intellectual pursuits of the deeper, graver kind; be inclined to choose a professional or mental occupation; to exercise his body much, but his mind more; will have a high forehead; good moral faculties; and the brain developed more from the root of the nose, over to ..oprogenitiveness, than around the ears. In character, also, the moral and intellectual faculties will predominate. Ti.is temperament is seldom connected with depravity, but generally with talent, and a manifestation, not only of superor talents, but of the solid, metaphysical, reasoning, investigating intellect; a fondness for natural philosophy, the natural ses, &c. It is also the temperament for authorship and car-headed, laboured productions. It predominates in Reeves, Jathan Elwards, Wilbur Fiske, N. Taylor, E. A. Parke, Leonard Bacon, Albert Barnes, Oberlin, and Pres. Day; Drs. Par. and Rush; in Vethake, Hitchcock, Jas. Brown, the grandanan; ex U. S. Attorney-General Butler; Hugh L. Wh..te, Wise, Asher Robbins, Walter Jones, Esq. of Washington, D. C.; Franklin, Alex. Hamilton, Chief Justice Marshall, C1 houn, John Q. Adams, Percival, Noah Webster, George C, Lucretia Mott, Catharine Waterman, Mrs. Sigourney, and Leary every distinguished author and scholar.

B., if the active organization decidedly predominate, the porerful only fair, and the animal weak, he will be very ... m, long-boned, lank, small chested, slender built, very active and smart for business, but too light for any thing reqaring strength of mind, or force of character. He is best Ad for some light, active business, such as mercantile, writinz. book-keeping, &c., or, if a mechanic, for a silversmith, ti , &c. Artists usually have this temperament, and often Prats. The muscles being too small to relish or endure much Ard work, they take too little vigorous exercise; have feelirs too refined and exquisite for this rough and selfish age, or for coarse, dirty work; are often sentimental, hypochon

driacal, and dyspeptic, and predisposed to consumption and an early grave. This organization generally predominates in our first-cut dandies and double-refined ladies, who are usually more fashionable than sensible or useful. It is by no means a desirable one, especially for wives and mothers, notwithstanding it is all the rage, and much cultivated by artificial pressure. It generally predominates in our city and village masters, misses, and children, and also in precocious children, who seldom amount to much, and usually dic young. Consumptive families are mostly very smart, but very slim, poor in flesh, and sharp-favored.

One having the animal predominant, the powerful fuir or strong, and the mental deficient, when really roused, and pressed into service by powerful motives, will be able to accomplish much, yet will love ease, and put forth no more effort than he is compelled to do. His passions will be strong, and his temptations powerful, with some tendency to merry company, if not the excitement of drink. He will not usually be devoted to books, or hard study, or close application, but will be able to do much hard work, and is less disgusted with coarse or filthy kinds of labor than one more delicately organized. Hence it is desirable that the “hewers of wood and the drawers of water,'' scavengers, colliers, &c., should have this organization, the mental temperament incapacitating its possessor, both mentally and physically, for dirt, drudgery, &c.

The powerful predominant, mental great, and animal full, is the one for powerful and sustained mental effort, and imparts great power in any department, especially that of mind as mind, or of swaying a commanding influence over man. kind, and capacitates for taking the lead in a large business ; while one with the mental predominant, the animal only full, and the powerful weak, though he may be smart, yet he cannot be great; though his feelings may flare up, and his talents shine forth with brilliancy, yet they will be momentary, and too flashy, vapid, and quickly spent to be perinanently useful The former is the solid wood or the anthracite coal, making a slow but powerful and continuous heat; while the latter resembles the fire made of pine wood, that snaps, blazes bright

or the powerful ! organization greatly . predominate, there is too much hulk; the person will move slowly and feel but little, enjoy and suffer proportionally little, and, if the mental be also weak, he will be obtuse in intellect, a stranger to refinement and intellectual enjoyment, and, having but few passengers, the boat of life will be too light freighted to be well worth running, or to secure the great ends of ex. istence, namely, intellectual and moral enjoyment. But where the mental greatly predominates, the vessel is over. laden, the energies of the system are drawn from the digestive apparatus and muscles, and concentrated upon the brain and nervous system, which thus consume the vital powers faster than the animal organs can manufacture the re-supply. This overdraught, while it greatly augments the talents, and induces precocity, also causes premature death ; but more of this hereafter.

Involved in this doctrine of organization, is the density, toughness, endurability, &c., of the system, but as they all depend upon the organization and grow out of it, it will not be necessary to particularize. Attention was called to this point mainly to remark, that that density of the waist and muscle which resists pressure and gives solidity and hardness, indicates proportionate vigor and power of constitution, but that a yielding waist or a flabby muscle, is an indication that the vitality of the system is low, and the stamina of the constitution enfeebled. So, limberness of joints indicates youthfulness and elasticity of constitution, and a sprightly, elastic walk, an active, penetrating mind. But more of this in the work on Physiology alluded to above.
