Fao,r1inO SchOoIs.- Consumption popu- lar medical writer, Dr. Brigham, of Hart ford. Conn, in an article on Consumption, m inc Knickerbocker, remarks as follows:

 aCrowded boarding schools for young girls are quite numerous, but to many ot them l fear they prove the portals of the grave. At these schools, with few exceptions, but little mains are taken to develope the physical rowers of the scholars, and the chief attention is given to rapidly improving the intellect Often an amount of mental labor is required of young and delicate girls, sufficient to ta- pair a Strong constitution. All the rewards and praise, all the hopes and wishes of pa rents and teachers, are for intellectual pro gress. True, they exercise Q little; but the kind allowed them is often Q task, and IS is nearly useless. They occasionally wax abroad with their teachers, with regula'eo' stereotyped pace, that does them little or nO good. PInysand exercises that they nasu" aad benefit the whole systeul-that enlarge tne chesf. and strengthen the muscles otthe pack and enable them to support the SPlne-are noo considered rude and improper. Hence Me oee vo,,nO ladies return from Sucn SCHOOLS, ~v;th minds much improved, pernaps' put ,',;tl rhesta m larger than when they !elt Horoe and not unfrequently ono shoulder ..s,..o eIevated than the other, and wlth some curvature of the spine. LetIt not DC saio' III refi,tation of this statement, that glris m hoarding schools look animated and heaitny. This is not generally true, and 1t 1t were, would not prove that the course pursued at such schools was proper. The evil enects which result from want of exerclse are hot witnessed immediately in youth:

 < 1s4k1a AYnnQllr6 or IaIlgu0 than she has been accustomed to' or even from inc mental anxiety and conflict of feel ings not unusual to young ladies who mix m soc;etv. she grows feeble, slight cough en- s,ies. scarcely noticed for while, shortness of breath is experienced on little exercise, and though the countenance appears brilliant and animated,

 "'Tis the hectic spot that aushes there," and the work of death has already cornmen- ced. In few months, she sinks into the grave, and the newspapers announce, that an interesting young lady-the pride of her pa- rents and friendS-whose mind had been in- proved by the most careful education, has been cut of by consumption. But such an- nouncements, though frequently seen, make but little impression upon the community, and convey no warning to those who have the guardianship of young ladies'.

 "1 have dwelt longer on this subject than I should, did not believe that inattentlon to the physical education of females. and the rage for improving the intellect to the utmost extent, had become alarming evils; and did I not believe reform in this respect would diminish the mortality from consumption, and that the children of feeble or consump- tive parents might be rescued from the grave by more attention to the development and improvement of their bodies, by healthful and agreeable exercise, and by less attention to the advancement of the intellect by confine- ment at school"
