Any young gentleman who can laugh at will, is certain of a favorable reception in society, particular.’ ,’ when the weather is muggy Laugh ter is, therefore, a socidl virtue, a prudent ac complishment, and an open letter of introduc tion. It is not necessary to he funny in order ! *0 t)C iiuir iu o tato’s, without knowing it. Their faces are sculptured facinations. The permanent grin, however, pails upon tho eye, and at last be gins to wear out one’s jocularity, and to look as solemn and hideous as the dismal sphynx. Laughter is good by virtue of its suddenness. It is in its unexpected appeals to tho nerves, that its power chiefly lies. It does a thought ful person good to be taken by surprise, and tickled into a hearty laugh against his will. It makes him feel as he would after having been clcctcrised. It awakes him, forceshis blood to circulation, makes him open his eyes, look about him and talk. The greatest mystery of laughter is its communicativeness. Set one or two going, and the whole circle, although they know not why, fail into the vein. You laugh at laughter, and laugh the more because you know the less of what you are laughing at. Such po tency is there in the association of ideas. Awk ward things make one laugh, if the mind hap pens to be directed into a different channel at the moment, and the awkwardness comes upon you suddenly. There is nothing laughable in seeing a man thrown from his horse; yet if ho be pitched into the mud, and his hat rolls oft’ into the kennel, and his heels thrown into tho air, like tho heels of the bodiless nondescript on the Manx halfpennies, you cannot help laugh ing. There is no grace in such an accident to make it agreeable to the imagination, and to save it from ridicule! From a peculiar con struction of the sensitive membranes, some people laugh more than others, and young peo ple laugh the most, because they have fewer drawbacks upon the fancy. Things as they are if we learn to analyze them, are not objects for laughter, but until wc grow familiar with reali ties, we laugh at them as if they were merely ideal, and set up for our amusement. But laughing is divisible into many, many modes. Mrs Jordan used to laugh over the whole face. I* began in tho dimples of the lips, and spread over the cheeks and forehead like sunshine, until the entire countenance be came inspired. That was a laugh to make you stop with admiration and suspended breath, and feel happy. But you could hardly laugh at it or with it. It was so beautiful; it captured the , senses, and filled the heart with that kind of joy i which does not express itself in laughter. Some people laugh convulsively, shooting out a noise like that of a pistol, and instantly relaps ing back into silence and gravity. It is a great question whether they enjoy their laugh like the rest of the world, or whether they do not enjoy fit more by keeping it within, and all to them ! selves. Others again, laugh through their teeth, spreading their lips like the hyena, and emitting a hissing sound that resembles the frying of eggs. There may be a physical necessity for such a laugh, but unless there be, it is very in excusable. There are persons who will avail themselves of any excuso for shewing their teeth, and who laugh for no other earthly rea son. They must be thinking of their teeth all the time, and not of the just provocative. A fat It eo-ncs, tii c Wcrald of a C; <> i,! c n Wo r 1 2. person who laughs zealously, laughs with his great big body. The tub undulates and heaves, and the whole man shakes with laughter down to the calves of his legs. It is like the boister ous rejoicing of a corporation. A man who desires a vivid reputation will throw himself back into a chair to laugh, as if the fun over | powered him. That is a mere ruse, like the i titter of a pretty girl behind he. lan; or the stage | laugh that consists in twisting the thumbs into the sides, and bending the body forward, as if it were suddenly seized with pains, and uttering a clinking noise in the corner of the mouth. No body ever laughed until they were black in the face, although that is esteemed the last point of risibility. Any one may laugh until they tito red in the face, but tiie laughter that is most searching, makes the face pale. When a per son always laughs in the same way, they never laugh with sincerity; for the same way of laugh ing is no more applicable to the different degrees of irritation than the same way of showing the sense of pain. To laugh always the same way, is to laugh by rule, and the gamut may be play ed over on all occasions. It is pleasant to be gitted by nature with such exquisite scnsibili— 1 ties, that one’s laugh varies with the subject. \ ariety is much admired in laughter, as well as in every thing else; but it must not be studied, i or :t will he liable to suspicion; it must conic of j j itself, free, natural and characteristic. Loud I laughing is dangerous to women, besides being j disagreeable to their friends. Women never j should laugh much or loudly. They are sup-| posed to be more patient and c during than men; and as gentleness is an especial charm, they should laugh softly, lowly, musically, and not as if they caught all the broad points of whim caricature. They should he thought to : leave some touches of the joke undiscovered, I for it is the weakness of our sex to desire the ascendency even in trifles. Gentlemen always effect something in reservation, as if there were a sting behind which the ladies could not, or ought not to understand. This is a poor affec tation of exclusive privileges, of superior dis cernment, o( the pride of the sex. But ladies maybe assured that there is nothing behind j worth knowing, or there is nothing in the joke, except its pretension to mystery. Any person who laughs dogmatically, should bo expelled from the drawing room. Why should any one laugh in a style that requires other people to laugh whether they like it or not, and that convoys a sneer ai those who do not laugh, as much as to insinuate that they do not apprehend the force of a good thing > ft is UPto.t3l.d„ whyirSav.- * the laugh nil to yourself. We hate people who snivel when they laugh as >f they ijyspised flic : poverty of mirth. V\ ho wants them to laflgh s | Let them get in the corner, and trace the out- j lines of a figured paper with their eyes, until j they get the blues, or nausea in the stomacii. , They have no right to come into a merry circle, and “laugh in contempt of Court. It is all non sense to say that any individual is so locked up | in bile as not to be able to enjoy a laugh. Eve- | ry human being has a vulnerable point—touch | that, and the metalic being becomes fused over as if it had undergone a process of fire. W e laugh very seldom, ourselves, but—when we do laugh—what aleaping of sounds is there, what a bubbling of inarticulate notes, what a heaving of chest and distortion of features, and spasms ot j limbs. It is well enough to talk about resisting laughter, but we know it is irresistible, and is ■ not to lie gainsayed. W hat could .Moore have i been thinking of, when ho addressed such a rc quest as this to a lady ? Give smiles to those that love you least, But keep your tears for me. Sunshine before rain, even in dog-days. From the National JEgis. Extract from Professor Folten's Funeral Or- j alio u.—On reading the following sentence, wc , were particularly struck with the peculiar fact j which it developes : ‘ This extraordinary man [Dr. Gall] had been induced, by an observation made by him, when a boy of nine years old, to attempt anew j mode of scientific investigation. Wildcat school,. young Gall felt mortified at seeing himself stir- j passed by a number of his school-fellows, in till j those exercises that required verbal memory.— J The mortified pupil tried to find out some rea son to account for this fact, that boys who, in j theit other exercises,were much his inferiors.ye!, showed better heads in committing lessons to | memory. He was struck with the observation,; that those boys who learned so easily by hearl j had remarkably large and prominent eyes. The connexion of this external sign and that mental ; faculty occurred to him. and he inferred that | prominent eyes were a mark of good memmy. j This observation, insignificant in itself, led Gall I to study minutely, on the one hand the promi nent talents and individual characters of men ; and on the other hand, the form of their heads. Little by little he flattered himself that he could j percieve one constant shape in the head of ove ry great painter, every great musician, every great mechanic, severally denoting a decided j pre-disposition in the individual to ono or the oth er of these arts.’ It frequently happens that important results And their beginning in very trifling causes. — The history of great men produces ample proof of this statement. We here see, in the instance just cited, that, from the observation,insignificant indeed of itself,that large prominent eyes were in dicative of a retentive memory, originated in the mind of Gall the science, called Physio ogy of i the. brain—a science which has been much im- proved by his distinguished Disciple ar>d friend Dr. Spurzehim, who attached to it the title of Phrenology. What will be the advantage of this somewhat new science to mankind, J'o-tc ritv will determine. It is viewed, we believe, by the learned and scientific, if not a valu- l le, at least. -in interesting discovery; and jrius destined to take a high rank in tlic Philosopbi-.il world. But this age, it is said, is cieciccdlya . > tire Age Tine ; and speculation, in man res pects lias been carried to too great an e.v.u.t — conseqiKlily, mischievous results have ri • •and. Vliesc mai.i estations have been roceivi <! by some astute observers, as indications ot on un sound and retrogressive state of things. We arc told that the School „ aster is ‘abroad.’ j\,- doubt of it. He is known by the‘mark’ i the forehead—not Cain’s,oh no, it is ofgreatu tho seven pillars of Wisdom on his bad-, end the words of wit and eloquence which, ‘ever and anon.’ t ome tumbling out of his mouth. After flic learned lnstiucter, appears, in quick succession, the old story about the ‘auspicious Era'—the spirit of the age, and the march of Mind, lienee the age of Scepticism also— some, indeed, becoming so much of unbelievers as to affirm that Intellect had taken up a new j line of march, and ‘ March’d, march’d awayl’ But wc are, hy no means, full converts to ! these unbelieving notions. While we se*- much | to condemn, we find more to commend. There ; will always be speculation so long as our Ideas extend beyond our Knowledge, so long as en quiring minds exist, and so lnn<r as any positive Evidence exists beyond the reach of them. And where there is much speculation, there will al ways be some of an unprofitable kind. But the question is—would an annihilation of the nil i the total extin tion ot the good which proceed irom these speculations; Some speculate upon Mind, others upon Matter.— Some aver that all things are material, while others think that there are but very Jen • things but what arc quite immaterial. Then comes primary and secondary causes, fore-knowledge and free Agency, and the endless train of innate an i accumulated principles. Surely these ev er disputed points, present ample materials to keep in continual motion the craving Specula tor’s mind! One age speculates away the dog mas of another. Each Speculat >r is general ly sure in his own mind, and thinks mankind must ho equally so ; yet the •.■/</ is never sa tisfied. Thus we ‘shift from trouble to trouble, and from side to side : button m one cause of tell us that there is nothing ptrtiuniuVV... , nal state of the hums: mind ; the Phrenologist, however maintains doctrines quite the reverse. We disbelieve the former,anti assert our convic tion of a belief in the latter, mainly, because the one, to sustain his principles, brings a sort of speculative evidence, the other, observation and actual truths. And in this perhaps consists the superiority ofthe science of mind, as taught by Phrenologists over every other. ‘ Theory,’ thought Spiuzehcim, ‘could teach nothing but what is taught by nature.’ Nothing but facts, the results of actual observation, he considered as established truth ; —all doctrines contrary to observation, he rejected as false ; every other supposition bethought more or less probable, as it was more or loss confirmed by observation.’ A hich respect for truth, regardless of its sotitccs or its consequences, it is said formed a striking trait of Dr. Spurzheim’s mind. lie considered that the establishment of Truth, and the at tainment of IV.RFKCTION should be the high ; aim of all our calculations. About Dr. Fpurz heini there was no false exhibitions. In Ins public labors as well as private walk vhe man -n thing of tho abonimable quackery and pompous airs ofthe Wiseacre. Truth and Mo desty were the admirable weapons with which | he used to < harm and convince his auditors, anil i win the. sincere and affectionate friendship of j all who knew him. Ilis words were, —1 do not want you to believe what I propose to you; 1 only want you to hear what I have to say ; and then go into the world and see and judge for yourselves whether it is true.’ As we before ! remarked, how far tho science of Phrenology I will meet the expectations, of its frit nib,remains | ; yet to be developed. It hasbeen warmly embra- j ceil by many ofthe profound thinkers of the age, and excited the attention of great numbers oi j every class of erudition. And although, as a science, it has brought to light many important ! facts, vet, as almost every thing that comes in ; the shape of innovation, is viewed by t.'.e world I in general with the eye of suspicion, and not im frequently scoffed at as a daring monster, the probability is, that it will bo sometime, if correct, ere the doctrines of Phrenology are received,as sound and established truths. Wc cannot close our observations upon this address; without adverting, move paiticid.n'y to the religious character of Dr. Spurzheim. Re ligion, with him, was not n speculating or an j inactive principle. It contained none ol the clamor ofthe canting Hypocrite, nor any ofthe I effervescence of the blind Zealot. It was the j still small voice, which manifested itself, mi eve ; ry proper occasion, in the bright deeds ol’Good -1 ness; —anti if there is any such tiling disinter ested benevolence , it existed, in all it., beauty and usefulness, in the breast ot Dr. spurzheim. j In religion, as well as other matters, he placed Reason as the highest attribute ofthe mind; and considered its free and vigorous exercise ns cs i senlial to a correct knowledge of all ( hiistiari ! truths. He believed in C lnistianity cbtelly on ’ the ground of its internal evidences; andadopt , I rd i’. as tiie great rule of Ins Site, cn account ot its complete adaptation to human wants, and the spirit of truth and divine philanthropy which gives lifts to ail its precepts. He looked with a broad gaze upon the actual condition of the lit*— man rac. , nor was the humblest individual he yond th- crnbiacc ofnis wide-extending bene.o ience. fetich was the religious character of the depar ted fepmziieim ; —and, in truth, view him in whatever tight wc will—whether, at the immi nent risk oi personal health, as contributing es sentially to tiie comforts of the noble bearer of a still nobler burthen ; as explaining the princi ples of his favorite Science ; as inculcating, by precept and by example, the important truths of Christian Morality; or, as prostrate upon the bed of sickness and death, breathing in all the tranquil majesty of his mind, his wonted cjncti lution, ‘ Father, thy i vill be done —view him which way wc will, and we see nothing but the insignia of true greatness and true goodness. And is not the emulation of to praise worthy a character deserving of our highest efforts?— Ought we not to contend, with our noblest cx ■ ertions, for a garment as‘shining and exceeding white!’ Truly. Then in the touching lan guage of the Address, ‘let us prove ourselves the faithful followers of him whose life was a pil ■ grimage after truth, and who died in its service. Let us be his followers indeed; not blindly adopting his doctrines, on his authority, for In himself would disown such disciples. Let us not resemble the Crusaders of old, fighting for the sepulchre, ins'ead of striving after-the spirit of him who has risen ; but let us take up the fit]- lon standard iroin the hands of the dead and follow the leader in our own breast. So let us work together, and worship, though it he with ft veil upon our minus,until He who knows the end from the beginning, shall say ‘lt is finished, — and (lie veil -of the inner temple be rent in twain ; and lie himself shall show ua when and where we shall meet again.’ Pull, or no Bull. —ln Ireland the following, which we copy from the London Morning Her ald, would be a bull: “ The temporary works round Lierre and Hassell are intended to Le permanent. Republican Simplicity. —A few years ago two Englishman, one of them an officer in the ar my, were dining at a hotel in New York, and opposite to them sat a man of plain, republican habits, to appearance about 70 years of age. The Englishmen had their wine, and while par taking of the desert, the officer passed the bot tle to the old gentleman and aske-J him to join them in a .-.lass. He did so, and in the course, cer that he hnci sum Revolution, and had come to New 1 oik in nc old age, from a distance of4oo miles, merely to sec the improvements which had taken place since the evacuation of the city by the British troops in 1783. The officer again passed the bottle and then filling his own glass, gave-“ The heroes of the Revolution.” The old gentle man us he raised his glass added—“ cu ootn si<it sos the question.” ?ho efleet was electrical, and the English men gave vent to their feelings in strong ex pressions of admiration. Two or three more glasses were drank, when the old soldier intima ted his intention to withdraw, and then pulling Iror.i his pocket a number of silver dollars, ob served with great simplicity —“ IV ell, gentle men, if you will now tell me what 1 have to pay 1 w ill settle it.” The Englishmen were thun derstruck, but were so well satisfied that th act was one arising from utter ignorance of the ways of the w orld, and pure simplicity of heart, that they were not a little affected. 1 hey as sured their guest that they did not expect him to pay any thing,unon which he left the room sav ing “ that he < - aid not for his life imagine what Could induce firem to treat him with such mark ; ~,1 rttention, when they had never seen him be fore.”—Boston Mias. Original Anecdote, —During the passage down Sound of one ol our elegant steamboats, says a correspondent, the last summer, a gen tlemen not too much accustomed to polished so ciety. came so late to the cinner table that lie found it difficult to obtain a seat. He stood | some time with hands in pocket, looking wish fully at the smoking viands. He was at last noticed by tho captain, who relinquished to him his own chair and plate, when he commenced carving a pig that lay before him* Having finished, ho passed portions of the dish to till the ladies in his immediate neighbor hood, and then heaped a plalefcr himself.
