JSxaminiag the number of deaths, we findthednu-e absolutely more desths than birtbs among the strictly American children ; so that, aside from immigration and births of children of foreign parents, the population of Massachnsetts is really decreasiag. Another fact developed by reports is that, whereas in 1786 nearly one-half of the populatieaof Massachusetts was under fifteen j ears of age, it is believed that, at the present time not wore than one-fifth of the purely American population is undef that age.

JOHN M c K E N N A , " In the muscular temperament the children of the present day are scarcely developed atall, from various causes, the principal among whioh is the llmost total neglect of manual labor,- the body as a whole is feeble throughout, and individual muscles are soft, small, flabby and weak. The fashions in dress have weakened the lymphatic and sanguine organs,- it is the opinion of the best physicians that the pressure upon the upper part of the body has served to weaken,'depress and displace that organ in woman which has most to do with reproduction, and all know how common diseases of these organs aro at the present day, although entirely unknown to our grandmothers. On the other hand, the brain and nervous system generally have been highly developed and altogether predominate.— The ctof this is seen in the intense headaches with which our women are now afflicted, the other portions of the body not being sufficiently developed to resist the attacks of such : diseases. As a general rule, people highly educated, who severely tax the brain and nervous system,haven less number of children than those persons engaged in manual labor for a livelihood. -Women distinguished for genius and intellectual attainments have never as a class been prolifiq et offering. This state of things is abnormal and unnatural, against the designs of nature, and in violation of the laws of health. Those who are thus affected are frail and weak, break down in childbirth,andagreat number cannot nurse their children properly.— Many children are brought up by hand entirely, at a greathasardof life. These facts are one of ttos strongest arguments to prove that the fern afh organisation is undergoing a Change for the wor»e. It is now generally believed that a child derives its constitution from the mother, showing, the importance of strength and vitality in women. The visible decline in the propensity implanted in women for noble purposes, is a key to the increasing infidelity or husbands and the long lists of divorces. American women have been also' diminishing, in also for fifty years, and while there has been agreat advanoe among them intellectually, it has not been an improvement" Some remedies for this painful state of affairs are thus set forth : " The evil is caused by three things. Neglect of physical exercises, fashionable dress, and to exclusive cultivation of the brain. The remedy for the last is plain, and the movement in seminaries fer increased physical development cannot be too highly commended. To pursuads women to give np fashion is more difficult, but there has been some improvement in the fashions themselves of late yean. There is still left the custom of elothing the body unequally, so that the breast and the arms and the legs are not kept so well guardedagni nit sudden changes in the weather as the other parts of the body.— The effect of this is to produce a congested state of the blood. The-use of fine wheat flour in a newly-baked condition brings on dyspepeiaand indigestion. Girls are put to school too early, and in every particular their education is too stimulating and exciting for their organisation. A reform must also be effected in the not ions of the object of marriage and the qualities most to be sought for in a wife. Instead of the slender form,small waist, and fashionable accomplishments, let awell developed body, good hdhlth, a sound constitution, and knowledge of domestic duties be qualities most preferred."

Let us moreover in the strength of this promise pray for the outpouring of God's spirit upon our own souls and upon the soul of every professed follower of Jeeua Christ,and the spirit of God will descend and produce in as fell the works and fruits of his indwelling might and influence, among whioh works and fruits, are fove, peace, joy, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and.temperanoe.

We shall thus quench all the fiery coals that cause disunion, we shall be united in desire, in feeling, in action and in anticipation. I will just say that on the other side of the Atlantic, I have seen as many as four different denominations of christians, meet together for worship in the seme plane several times in the year, they have taken the ordinance ef the Lord's supper together; their diffisrent dabbath schools have all met together in one. piece periodically, and the different Pastors occasionally exchange pulpits for a Sabbath ; All of these things appear to have been beneficial, producing friendly feeling among the communities towards one another, and I firmly believe that such arrangements if made kt this part of God's world if with a desire to gsl&fsod and glorify God in the prosperity ofZion, vepl4 be owned and blest by him. But as thsse last suggestions may bis open to some serious attentions, unknown to myself, I will leave them to the reader's own thoughts, being more anxious tbat the former part of my letter may he taken up by us ee Christians, and that w« strive to keep nearer to God in prayer, and get oar WiUe to harmonise with the divine will in all thins, both of a temporal and a spiritual character.
