Thoy reclined on a hill, not far from the habitations of men. A mournful silence prevailed round about, and the vesper boll in the distant little village grew mute. Quietly and peaceably, as is their custom, the two beneficent guardiun angels of tho human race were sitting, in cordial embrace, and the night was already approaching. Then arose the angel of slumber from his moss-covered couch, and strewed with a iwiiuiOncc ltaiirl flm invicililfj woo/Ilj .? * ber. The evening winds curried tliein to the quiet mansions of tired husbandmen.?Now the sweet sleep embraced the inhabitants ot' the rural cottages, from tho greyhaired sire leaning 011 his stall', down to the infant in the cradle. Tlic siek forgot his pains, the mourner his grief, and tho poor i.:? A 11 ?.. -i i mo utuvo. AII rji n wuiu iiuscu. Af'ir the work was ended, this beneficent guardian angel laid himself again by the bide of his st'vn rother. "J f the morning dawn shall break in," cxclaimed he, with a cheerful inuocence, "then the world will praise me as her friend and benefactor! (), what a joy to do good unseen and secretly ! How happy arc we invisible mcssenoorw of" ?i?o Spirit. How beautiful our quiet vocation !" Thus spoke the friendly angel of slumber. The angel of death looked nt him with an air of sadness, and a tear, u? the immoruus weep tneiu, siuou m ins large dark eye. "Ah," said lie, "I oannot rejoice in tlie pleasant thanks as thou. The wovhl calls me her enciuy and tho disturber of her joys 1" "O, my brother," ropliod the angel of sleep, "shall not mortals, at their awakening, recognize tlico as their friend and bless thee gratefully ?

Now, within the ' ast tow years, lliere seem < to have arisen a 1 1 loci in:; that the American, physically, is not what he or she Ou^lit to be.

Parents, and school mastoi d, und schoolmietrosses. are exhorted to take care of the youth of both sexes who jure growing up under their charge, and to wo that they do not turn out more intellectual prodigies without x iv b .d.ly stamina. Tobeliove these writers, ?he now raceof Americans is a kind of artificial growth, in whioh all the substance and vigor which should go to make arms, lc^s, loins, cheeks, toeth, and hair, have boon concentrated in the brain. Intlie laht contury. Hufion and tho naturalists of that time, started a theory, that since theaui muls found in tho New World were of a smaller and weaker type than those of the Old, j tlicrolorn the huropean race of men mustnoI eessnrily do^omnale, and, ultor a century it two, boas far inferior to Englishmen,HYcnch men, and Spaniards, us the puma in to the Harhary lion. This npeeulatioii used tocaus-e groat anger among Americans of the old school, who, after '"?citing their o?ijlolts agninst tho English^ ** - ? accustomed to explain that ' von tlioir savages were the (hie--t ..full possible Kuvages, and that no Asiatic or African tribe could posaiblv compare with tho rod men of the New Wo; hi. Hat the reunion against this self-coin placont estimate lias recently been carried ho far, that we should not bo surprised to sec somo American naturalist resuscitating the old theory. An extract which w? make from the Philadelphia Evening Journal gives a fair notion of the way in which Americans pre accustomed to speiik. on this .subject. From all sides are heard similar complaints of tho neglect of exercise by all classes of the American population, and warnings that tho physical structure of the people is deteriorating in I consequence. There are. indeod, certain facts which are undeniable, but whether want, of oxorcise be the cause of them or merely the j cfleet, it is not easy to determine; Among | tho woll-to-do classes it seems undoubted i that the standard of health is not as high us in England. It is said that* among women especially, there is a. I'nr greater ainouut ol" general weakness than In European countries and that those families of healthy girls which are t ) ho found in England hardly havo an existence in tlio New World. The men, too, are generally dyspeptic ; though often tall, their limbs arc not developed, the muscle of tho arm and the calf of tho leg seem wanting tho cheeks are sunken and the cheek i i.u: -i. > u'.hmj* nigii; uotu sexes are certainly Very 1 sdbjoot to baldness, and tlie earl y loss of the tcclb is so common that wa cannot wonder that Ainoricnn dentists take a high pla ic in tho profession. In tho words of the Philadelphia paper: "Tho incipient man (>ve take extronio ctiso) is a thin, frail cro.'.tnre. lli.s fae?> ! ; ..harp and .sallow, and has a bleared and bi."i.> is appearance. His back can be sparine with both hands, and there will be some hand to spare." And so the writer goe . on to criticise the chest, arnn, and legs ot' the younger American citizens. The ladies uro equally hardly dealt with: "Her waist is waspish and her foot is minute, but t.he rlinnmw ant ?!...* -l.? 1 ... w ruuu- IIIIIU OIIU OIWVJIS Uj' limb', has a cold, ami dons no blooming without tho aid of roUgfc.v Allowing Tor some exaggeration of language, it may be said, howevor, that thin picturo of tho younger inhabitants of t lie Atlantic cities has something of truth in it. The etiusc wo do not pretend to discover. Probably tho influences of climate are chiefly concerned.

It would almoat seem thnt tho European race undergoes it change directly it is transplanted into thefrnw World and that in tho courxo Of a few generation* it approaches' tho Indian type. It is certain that the cotomporarieM of Washington looked far moro like English people than the nihil gentlemen whom Aye meot waudoring over the Continent at the proHOitt (lay. The olil portraits* would show this, if ,ovon it were not to ho noticed in many old living Americans, who have much loss of what ia booming thonatioual casfcofcountoniinqo than their sons ami grandsons.

Tho no.tt generation may grow out of this constitutional weakness, Or tho evil may continuo ,to sap tho vitnlily of tho race in cot-tain portions of thtfUuion, American writers generally uttor tho sumo exhortations as wo find in tho Philadelphia journal.

I J J a caution to all story-tellers, of whom ustin was the prince, lie alwaya told ic whole truth, and more. "It was naral," he said; "he liked oncommon things Jtter than common ones?-'twas a heap ore amusin' anyhow." One morning at ie breakfast table this long-bow landlord id been relating ono of his extraordinary irns, and Judgo Dooly being at the hotel id listening to the story, sat in solitary since until it was over, and then remarked lat he had an awful dream in the night, id was very much depressed this morning, he landlord was awake in a moment, and sgged the Judge, if it would be no violen ie i:.. i i-i- <? * him uhmui^m, mi rciaiH me uream, as all ould like to hear it. The Judge still domed, aa it might hurt the feelings ofoth'8. 'Oh, do toll it, Judge?wo must have urged tho landlord, and the company ining in, tho Judge proceeded as if ho ere nbout to seutonco a criminal to bo ting: "Well, T dreamed last night two lawyers id myself had retired to a private room to -1 - * ?.#% viae among us a icc received troni a hard use, which hud boon carried through with mighty deal of lying on all hands.?
