Its cuitivation is highly important, yet little attended to. Whoever thunks of inculcating its exercise in children, or practisung it themselves, unless by chance? Ani yet it should be comrnced in infancy. Instead of holding or bracing up a chuld, so that it cannot roll over or fall, let it hold itself up, or else toul into some uncomfortable position, so as to teach it to Nialy itself, and sit up, creep, &c., early. As soon as it can stani or walk, encourage it, and as early as possible, take it on your hand, in a setting or standing posture, and, partly

101.92 it and partly not, carry it around the room on your exDenied hand, and change its position more and still more puxa.y', so as to teach it to keep itself from falling.

ADAPTATION. Every thuns and conection of thungs un na1.0, has a number. We cannot l.prwarding things as one, 16.), Wales, luur, &c., that is, counting lai all ude of number be effaced, and no business could be transacted; millions of dollars would be as one, and one as millions; or rather, man would be incapable of comprehending or distinguishing either one or many, and all pecuniary transactions must cease. Important advantages grow out of this arrangement in nature and faculty in man. It should therefore be cultivated, but not as it generally is, by waiting till a child is old enough to “ci. pher," and then giving him a slate, pencil and arithmetic, and requiring him to learn a rule, and then to work out the sum on the slate. All children love to count. Encourage and aid them in this. At two years old, teach them to count your fingers, and other things, and then to perform other numerical operations mentally. I verily believe that if every arithmetic in christendom were destroyed and no more printed, the rising generation would learn to cast accounts better than they now do. I grant that, properly used, arithmetic might be useful, but they are now made to supersede the natural method of reckoning things, that is, in the head. Nature is always better than art. Though the latter may aid the foriner; yet, when art usurps the prerogative of nature, it only spoils her operations. This teaching children ciphering, and that by rule, and thereby leaving mental arithmetic almost unculuvated, accounts for our being obliged to employ figures ; whereas, in nearly all business transactions, the head alone should be used.

Those who would cultivate this faculty, should rely upon their heads, both for casting accounts, and for remembering them, and should embrace every opportunity when riding or walking, to exercise it. Thus: in riding on a rail-road, observe by the minute or second hand of your watch, how many seconds you are in going a mile, then reckon the number of miles per hour, then per day, per year, &c. Then count the rails of a fence and its crooks in a mile, and then muluply the number of rails in a crook with the number of crooks in a mile, and so wherever you go, you can be making similar calAlations.

If calculating dollars and cents be ntore agreeable to you, because it combines Acquisitiveness with Calculation, then reckon the prices of such things as you may have occasion to buy, sell, make, handle, &c. Reckon what so many yards of cloth will come to at so much per yard, varying the price and number of yards at pleasure, and so of the prices of any thung; and when you go to the store to buy, keep this faculty busy to see if the clerk has reckoned it right. And let clerks in stores reckon in their heads ; for, this will enable them to do it more rapidly and accurately. Arithmetic, and slate and penr:, may be employed occasionally, merely as an assistant, but mental arithmetic should be the main thing they rely uz»). for casting and keeping aocounts. I know a jobber who has done business to the amount of hundreds of dollars per ein, but who can neither read, write, nor cipher, but who kromne all the transactions of each week in his head till Saturdaj u zi, when he will tell them to his wife to put them dua...

ADAPTAT303. Instead of being planted down in the midst 66 shoe we leading is nou, man is placed in a world of succession. One event happens before or after another. His life is composed of a continuity of times—of a continual variation of periods. From infancy to old age, up through childhood, youth, middle age, old age, and death, every day, hour, second, and item of existence, follows its predecessor, or prece-les its successor in point of time. We look back upon the past, and cast the eye of hope or dread forward into the future. We make appointments to do certain things at certain times to come, and all are able to discern the arrival of those times. This faculty adapts man to this arrangement of succession. But for this arrangement in the nature of things, all doings or exercises of mind relating to the past or future, would be annihilated, all conception of any other period than the present-than one monotonous now,' obliterated, and with it, all the arrangements relating to eras, ages, years, the seasons, months, days, hours, seconds, the relations of infancy, childhood, youth, middle age, old age, death, the past, and the future, &c., extinct to man; which would effectually break up the present order of things. With this arrangement in nature, but without this faculty in man, though they would exist and succeed each other, that existence and succession, and their application to appointments and to every thing connected with the past and future, would be as utterly inconceivable to man, as the beautifully blended colors of the rainbow are to the blind, or as music is to the deaf. But with this arrangement of time in the nature of things, and this faculty in man adapted to it, man can hold converse with what has been, and what will be for thousands of years each way-can divide and subdivide the future and the past to his liking, and have a time for every thing, and every thing in its time.

The only rational idea man can forin of cternity is, one continuous now, or the utter abolition of time, and substitution of one continuous now. To talk about eternity continuing through myriads of successive ages, is utter folly; for, a succession must have both a beginn:rg and an end. 'I he idea of periods of time, can nu more be connected with eternits, that an end can be connected with the circie. 'I hus, Phrnology will help religionists out of many an otherwise inexplicabie dubculty. Mind, unconnected with matter, knows nothing about space, bulk, ponderosity, colors, etc., which are terms belonging to maller.

This arrangement is highly calculated to promote health, and emnenty useful in the despatch of business. Nearly all the operations of life require its assistance, and are facilitated by its fui dovelopment. Hence, its cultivation becomes an 1tom in education of very considerable importance; and yet, 1 cubration is scarcely once thought of from the cradle to ir grave; and hence too, it is usually one of the smallest ormalls in the human head. This need not, and should not

; 11 stiju:d be cultirated from infancy to oid age.

The uniy means of cultivating it is, to EXERCISE it, and this can be done, not by carrying a watch in your pocket, and often prat:1. the time of day from its dial, or from a clock before !, but fron keeping the time of day in your head, and re11."... in your memory the when thinzs took place, or the Grip or their occurrence, how long ceriun events occurred har op or after others; the day of the week, month, and year otkrocurrence, &c.
