As you may have occasion to kill a chicken for your table, or slaughter a calf or pig, on opening it, show them the position of the heart, and the manner in which ii receives and ejects the blood, and give them all the information you can concerning it. Then do the same by the lungs, liver, intestines, &c.

Then ask them what has become of the great amount of food they have consumed; amounting, in all, to many times their own bulk. Then explain to them the office of the stomach, its position, looks, and the whole process of digestion, and nutrition. What will delight or benefit them more? And think you that this knowledge will not make them careful in regard to injuring their health? What will more effectually promote the vigor of the constitution than a knowledge of the aws of life and health? Compared with this, all other knowledge is utter folly; and in point of utility, "is as a drop in the bucket."

Then put their hand on the back-bone, (I ought to be leurned, and to call it the spinal column; though back-bone is just what I mean,) and, as the person moves his body, they will see the workings of the joints.

• The studies of Anatomy and Physiology ought never to be separated from each other. When the location and appearance of an organ are studied, let its office, and the end in the animal economy it performs, be also studied; for, the study of each will facilitate that of the other, and each impress the other. Studying Anatomy alone, is like cutting up a dead man to see what a live one will do. Upite the two.

Then tell them that these muscles by means of which we move, labor, &c., consistute the red flesh of all animals, and are what is usually eaten. Then show the workings of the bones upon each other at the joints. This can be done conveniently and beautifully when cutting up (I mean dissectinz; how unaccountably unclassical I am though,) a chicken for dinner, or a hog (I mean swine ; for, it is very vulgur to say hog) for salting.

ORDER. METHOD: ARRANGEMENT, SYSTEM : having a place for every thing, and every thing in its place, so that it can be found at once: system in Business, &c.

“ Order is heaven's first law." ADAPTATION. SYSTEM, OR UNIFORMITY, pervades the whole physical world, and has stamped its impress upon every work of God. Order reigns supreme in the worlds on high, and in the earth below, producing regularity in both. It has arranged a place for every organ of the human body, and always puts every organ of the body in its own place, so that Locality may find them, or Comparison infer where they may be found. It puts the feet always at the end of the lower extremities instead of on the top of the head or the end of the arms, and the head on the top of the body instead of on the back, or ankles, or the wrists, and systematizes all the works and operations of nature. Indeed, without this principle of order, or system in nature, all creation would be one vast bedlamone grand chaos of “confusion worse confounded," without beauty, and marred in all its other qualities, but with this ar. rangement in nature, harmony usurps the reign of chaos, beauty is brought forth out of deformity, and all nature moves on with a systematic regularity as beautiful in itselt as it is beneficial to man. But, without this faculty of order in man, adapted to this contrivance of system in things, though this quality might have existed and beautified all nature, yet man could not have perceived this beauty, or applied this contrivance to any beneficial purpose. But this principle exists in nature, and this faculty in man, and it is therefore his duty and pleasure to exercise it ; and, its cultivation should form an im. portant part of the education of children. And yet, that cultivation is scarcely once thought of.

Its primary office seems to be, to keep one's own things in order, and, to cultivate it, let children have things of their own, and be told and encouraged to put things in their places--10 fold and lay away their garments ; to put their playthings away in the places assigned them; to lay their hat or bonnet, &c., in a particular spot; to lay off their clothes at night so that they could jump into them in case of fire; to have each Brok in its own place, and keep it whole and clean ; to keep their garments whole, (and parents should never allow their children to go dressed shabbily, or with holes in their garments.) and to tuke care of every thing.

That business man whose accounts are not kept straight, till most assuredly sail; and that farmer who keeps his fences up, and all his farming utensils in their places, will thrive. If farmer A tells hus son John to yoke up the oxen and draw any thing, if John say's---"Where's the chain," or "I dont know where the yoke is," that is, if John does not k new, without asking or looking, where to find the chain, or poke of hoe, or axe, or scythe, or sickle, or rahe, &c. &c., down to the hammer and nails, mark it when you will, that farmer wil get behind, is not fail. But if John knows at oore, J ist where to find whatever he wants to use, that farm will prosper; for, this order facilitates despatch, and foolins the work done ; whereas, disorder wastes every that.2 and will run any farmer, much more a business man. Tri poteris note this; and, if they would see their children Becompte posperous and happy, instil early into them, prinripes or order and despatch.

And then again, how much more agreeably and happiy 18 at any lives in which every one knows just where to 1 iany thing he wishes, and always returns it to its place We he has done using it. Disorder spoils the temper, as well as por sents success m business. Parents, see that your chilo dren are trained in harmony with these important inferences.

, lays out the one beforehand,

relative positions of the principal stars, together with the motions and distances of each, &c., &c. Nor is this all: the time of day and night might be correctly ascertained from their motions and positions. How is it that many of our old farmers, will get up at any time of the night, and tell the hour accurately by the position of the stars? And “if these things be done in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?" If these things can be learned without a teacher or early instruction, but from casual observation alone, what could not be ottained by beginning these observations early, under excellent, practical tuition, and continuing them through life? Even the Indians can not only tell the time of the year and the hour of the day or night, with an accuracy impossible to us, but what is more, they can predict the weather for days and years to come. Our Astronomical observations are exceedingly limited and inaccurate; and yet, I am fully persuaded, that we might be able to tell the state of the weather and its changes for days and weeks, if not an entire season, and probably several seasons in advance. The animals do this. Then why not man? The spider shapes her net in anticipation of the weather, and changes it before we discover a sign of a change. If the season is to be wet, the beaver builds his hut one story higher the preceding fall ; and, if the winter is to be very severe or protracted, the squirrel lays in an extra supply of nuts; and so of many other animals. A knowledge of these things is certainly more important to man than to animals, in order that, in a wet season, he may raise more of those crops that are adapted to wet weather, and in a dry, or cold, or hot season, he may plant and sow the kinds of crops that will grow best in that season, as well as plant or sow early or late, as the season is to be early or late. Does a merciful God, who has shown so much greater care for man than for brute, supply to brute so important a knowledge which he denies to man? True, they are said to be guided by what is called instinct, (I call it intuition, or the natural, intuitive action of the phrenological faculties ;) but, if man has not the instinct, he has what is better, namely, greater powers of observation and reflection. And in addition to this, I believe he has as much instinct, at least in regard to the weather, as brutes, if he would only display it.
