We are glad to see the youths of Harvard beginning agsin their rowing matches. The smooth surface of the silver winding river | pe — frequently dotted with their t clippers, crawling over the water with their six oars like so shells aix-l erpillars. Hardly og tbgrecbmysd exercise is more attractive and beneficient to men than this. The fresh exhilaration of the free air and pleasant scenes through which the rowers on a river glide are worth a cart load of health “ panaceas.’’ It would be well if the youth of our city took more advantage of our water fa- tilities for pleasant exercise. The 4th of July regattas have turned the attention of some toit. | and ifiteould be much increased the river Charles might become a fountain of life-giving | igor to our worn, bardthinking brains. tn England, the Thames is “dotted with the “ four oars,”’ and “six oars,’’ and the «+ pair of | oars,’ a3 on fine evenings they skim the stream, | cheered by the smile of beauty and the hurrahs of the interested spectators. But rowing is only one of the means of phy- sical education at the disposal of Bostonians. Our glorious park of forty acres; that undula- tng “ Common; those towering trees,” through whose tracery you catch frequent beams from that western horizon which *‘ opes to the sun- | seta ype d of gold;”’ this broad surface in- | vites the early morning game of ball or the twi- | light game of cricket. Football used to be, | * when we were boys together,” a grand stim- | ulant to all the powers of masculine develop- ment; and if blaekened shins and bruised heads sometimes broke the harmony of the Sport, | ‘twas but a moment, and the glorious game | rolled on. Mr. Webster once said of an eminent Boston- | fan, who is still living, that “it was a prodig- ious pity he had no single taste whose gratiticn- tion would take him out of his hot-air library into the open air.”’ Webster’s own massive mental wear could never have been manufac tured except by a sound mind in asound body, “mens sana tx corpore sano.’ There has | been some discussion lately about his using to- | baeco. He used it, but only for a very short | season. But what he did use permanently, as is well known, was out-of-door exercise in every form. Even horse-back riding. whieh was not peculiarly favorable to his habit of body, was nevertheless quite a fayorite exercise wiih him, even till an advanced period of life. Another of our Massachusetts great men, Juhn Quincy Adams, used to take very long walks befure breakfast, when he was in Congress, and in the dead of winter would have the ice of the Poto- mac cut to enjoy his daily river batch. Frederick the Great used to declare that “ nature evidently intended mankind for tillions,”’ because she had made exercise so in- dispensable to the race, but her ouly mistake was that she had not arranged to have men born on horseback. It was doubtless one very great cause of the intellectual and martial supremacy of the class- ic Republics that they were composed of phy- sieally vigorous citizens. Everbody was athle- tie; everybody wrestled, or ran, orboxed. The Olympic Stadium and the Campus Martius fed the lite-springs of their respective States. - There was no beauty which was not well developed and vigorous. It was as much a part of the daily routine for the youth to put their mus- cles into mimic battle as it is with us to put our teeth in play at dinner. We as a people are said to be degenerating in | bysique. There is still, however, much dif- erence in bodily proportions and development | in favor of Bostonians as against New Yorkers. We trust the difference may be increased, and that the Athens of America may be the Athen- | ian ia the ru; and healthy stature of its | children, no less than in eareful culture of their | minds.— Boston Travel, Monstrous Superstiti A case of superstition in this connty bas come toour knowledge, which for ignorance and moral turpitude. exoeeds the darkest pages of the History of Robackism or even Salem Witeb- craft, and is a disgrace to the boasted intelli gence of the “ Garden of the Keystone State,” with her college. scademies, seminaries, com- mon schools and churches. The facts cunneet- | ed with this extraordinary eave of superstition, | as furnished by an attentive and reliable cor- | respondent, are substantially as follows : | | | On Sunday last, the good people of Ephrata and vieinity were startled and shocked by the intelligence that the remains of a certain Miss Sophia Bauman, who died about nine years | ago, bad been exhumed on that day by two men | hired for the purpose by the friends of the de- | ceased- Curiusity was naturally excited and speculations started as to the cause of such an open desecration of the ashes of the dead on the | quiet of the Sabbath ; and upon inquiry of some | of the relatives our correspondent learned thet the young lady alluded to had died of consump- | tion, and that since her death two of her sisters, | her mother, and two brothers had died also of the same disease. In all! these cases a heredi- | tary taint was strongly marked. and no doubt | was left upon the minds of physicians and all sensible persons a3 to the cause of their death ; but the opinions of physicians were set aside by | the incursions of iguorance and superstitution, | under which the belief was seriously enter- tained and acted upon, that, by sume hvcus- pocus, the winding-sheet of the corpse had got into her mouth, aud that by acontinual suction (the modus operand: of which was only known to the spirits) she had actually drawn the viher five members of the family after ber; and that | unless this winding-sheet was speedily removed | trom the mouth of the corpse she would, in like manner, cause the premature death of the whole connection ! Incredulous as a belief in such a monstrous “JOHN PHCENIX” IN THE LADIES’ CAR. ‘« John Phenix,”’ the inimitable wit, thus tells an incident connected with a ride on the Ne York Central Railroad. He relates it in a letter to the Knickerbocker Magazine, and puts it on record to serve as a caution to future in- nocent travelers. He says: s ~ I bad observed that at each change of cars, and they were frequent, when the general scram- ble took place, one car was defended from the assault by a stalwart man, usually of Irish per- suasion, who, deaf to menaces, unsoftened by entreaty, and uncorrupted by bribes, maintain- ed his post for the benefit of the “ leddies.”* “* Leddies car. sir, av ye please; forrid car for paces without leddies.”” Need I say that this car so reserved was by far the most com- fortable of the train, and that with that stern resolve which ever distinguishes me in the dis- charge of my duty toward myself, [ determined to get into it conte gui coute. So when we changed cars at Utica, I rushed forth, and see- ing a nice young person, with pretty face, bon- net and shawl, and a large portmanteau ur- ene her way through the crowd, I stepped up y her side, and with my native grace and gal- lantry, offered my arm and my assistance. They were gratefully accepted; and proud of my success, [ ushered my fair charge up to the platform of the ladies’ car. My old enemy was holding the door. * Is that your lady, sir?” said he. “With an inward apology to Mrs. Phenix for the great injnatics done to her charms by the admission, I replied ‘‘ Yes.”’ Judge of my horror when this low employee of a monopoli- zing and unaccommodating Railroad Company, addressing my companion with the tone and manner of an old acquaintance, said. ‘+ Well, Sal, I gueas you’ve done well, but I don’t be- lieve his family will think much ofthe match.” However, I got into the ladies’ car, and hav- ing repudiated the young person, Sarah, got an ex: ingly pleasant seat by the side of a very wari and comfortable young lady of a sleepy turn and quiet disposition. I wouldn’t have exchanged her for two buffalo robes, but alas! she got off at Syracuse, and then, frosty Cauca- sus, how cold it was! And so, grinding and jolt- ing, jarring, sliding and freezing, wore away the long night. “In the morning we were at Buffalo. I saw nothing of it but a railroad depot; but I remem- ber thinking, asI stamped my feet and thrash- ed my arms to restore the cireulation, that if that sort of weather continued, “the Buffalo girls couldn't come out io night,’’ and would probably have to postpone their appearance un- til the summer season.”” re A Dreaw Feurittep.—Zadock Hubbell, of Westchester, county, New York, communicates to the Phrenological Journal his remarkable experience in dreams, in which he excels Joseph of old. When a boy, some fifteen or twenty years of age, he dreamed that he was in & strange city in trouble, having spent all his money, and to add to his distress his boots ripped from the sole ; but while he walked along he felt something collect between the sole of one boot and tho bottom of his foot, and found it to be a quantity of money, partly in the small Spanish coin, but chiefly in pieces about half as large as six cent pieces, with three straight marks on one,side and a star on the other. Mr. Hubbell was so much impressed with the singular mypenrence of this unknown coin that - he retained a vivid recollection of it. Last fall, while itinerating as a temperance lecturer, he visited Newark. where he had never been be- fore, and there every cireumstance of his dream eecurred to him, with the exception that the coins were placed in his hat instead of his boot, after his temperance lecture. He recognised the three-cent pieces at once as the strange coins of his dream, though the resemblance had never before occurred to him. He says. also. that the streets of Newark were familiar from the recollections of hia dream, and yet he had never before been in them. Mr. Hubbell is unxioas to know how he got this vision so long beture its corresponding reality. Tur Growrs or Pesarus.—The late dis- coveries of pearls in New Jersey have revived the old discussion as to the causes of their growth. The best settled scientific opinion ap- peers to be, that they are a dise: sed, purulent | secretion of the shell-fish, originating in a wound, and reaching their full size in about seven years, at which period they become fatal to the animal, and thereupon lose their worth and lustre. Tt bas Siocrally been supposed that some minute substance, euch as a grain of sand, having become lodged within the shell of the creature, produces irritation, like a pebble in one’s boot. and being unable to get it out, the tormented animal makes the best of the diffi- culty by covering it with a calcareous excre- tion. Linnwus suggested piercing small holes in the shell of the oyster and then restoring it to its original bed. “But the experiment, on being tried, was unsuecessful in producing pearls. The Chinese, however, manage to grow them by introducing into the shell a thread of fine | silk upon which is strung a small bead of | mother-of-pearl. The oyster covers this with the veritable pearl secretion. It might be worth while for the Jerseymen to try the experi- ment.—Albany Journal. * Hetztoa, Mister !"’—Tucker. the indefati- gable contractor for watering the streets, was much amused yesterday by a countryman, who is, perhaps, first introduced to town by the “iron horse’’ penetrating to his sylvan retroat Tucker was mounted upon one of his new sprinkling carts, with water trickling out be- hind from the gutter, effectually dampening down the troublesome dust, when turning a corner, where leaning against a post was our superstition in this enlightened age may appear. | country cousin, he was thus accosted: “ Helloa, it is nevertheless true; tor, according to previ- ous arrangements. the hired resurrectionists commenced operations on Sunday morning.
