Joint, speaking of the importance of a general knowledge of physiology and the laws of life and health, in the last number 'of the Medical Reformer uses the following kpbrtinent and forcible language: These suHjfects arc of deep importance; and paramount to all else that is earthly, should claim tho earnest attention, not of the " pro fessional" man alone, but of every son and daoghter of Adam. Wealth may be ac quired, y'ct without health how miserably is it enjoyed 1 Time and money may be em ployed in acquiring a knowledge of the prin ciples, the structure nhd the arrangement of everything around and about us—the earth beneath us, tho atmosphere surrounding us, and the heavens above us, yet neglecting to acqoaint ourselves with a knowledge of the mechanism and arrangement of oUrselves— of fiie wonderful principles artd beautiful laws which tend to keep our bodies in tune, through " life's little span," of "what avail is alt our other knowledge? But' -such alas! is too much thq course of the world. While somo attention is paid to the mind, the poor body is forgotten. The meu tal receives tiuiiiing and culture.

Ah the beautiful outward temples in'which the immortal mind is dwelling were given to bo kept in order.

Buck Horn, I'a. LILLUH. ...... IS From tho Ledger. Labor astl Capita). The whole prosperity of the country hangs on the'cordial co-ojidrarion of labor and capi tal. The capitalist is dependent on the la borer, and the laborer on the capitalist. Of what use is a mill, without persons to attend it, or a manufactory, without mechanics 1— On the other hand, what can a mechanic ac complish without instruments, or what would become ol the laborer, shoulJ he grind his corn with a pestle and mortar, to be inde pendent of the mill owner? Everything which produces antagonism between the la borer fmd the capitalists injures both. In piinl of fact, all capital is but labor in a solidified fcrm. And money is society's certificate for labor petforme.!. If you want a day's work done, you pay a dollar; if the labor requires skill, you give two dollars. If by mental exertion a machine be construc ted, saving much Itbor, you gladly pay the inventor five dollars a day. Thus wealth is ] the accumriiulation of past labor, either of body or mind. All quarrols, therefore, between capital and labor, are in fact disputes between the past and the present, like a father cursing bia son-, wr a sou striking his lather. Nay,, worse, like to-day quarrelling with to-mor row ; tor the lador ol to-day will be the cap ital of to-morrow. And yet the two contin ually quarrel, and with very jual cause. For money i, after all, but the certificate of labor, by which in products are exchanged, and like many other certificates, often ob tained arid trauslerred to forgery and fraud. Ilenoe some contrive to obtain the largest show of the vouchers, where there basbeen the least of honest labor performed by head, heart or haud. Or if the capitalists misuse his money, be r injures not himself alone, but the laborer also. Most of the present mercantile dis tress has been caused by the n.is-epplicatiou of capital. Twelve mom ha ego, the gold i mines o! Calilornia had increased the circu lation ol money and the extension of credit a thousand fold; for by the aid cf banks, discounts, and promissory notes, the gold was beaten out very thin, and made to cover over a large surface, until its value was be coming almost like the gold and silver paper money which the Chinese burn before the images uf their ancestors. Kvery one thought himself rich, and man seldom know how to use suddenly acquired wealth. All kinds of false investment* were made Cosily hotels, marble blocks, and lofty brown stone residences, gilded drawing looms and silken curtains, with all lite richest luxuries imported from Europe, proclaimed this to the eye. It was said that this employment was given to labor. Very true. Foreign artists of all kinds were engaged to paint, to plaster, god to gild. But here lay lb# error. Ait this capital was invested in forms inoa* pable of being united with future industry. There it lies in huge, beautiful block* of marble or brown atone. (I the 850,000 or 8100,000 h look to build one of these palaces had been invested ir. a cotton factory, it would have given perma neut aud profitable employment to one or two hundred persons, and would probably have yielded the owner an income, instead of costing him one to keep up the establish ment. If a wealthy man were to feed and clothe a hundred people through the winter, he would be thought a Prince of generosity. But if Dive*, inttead of erecting a costly house and furnishing it from Europe, will but invest his money so that it may be re productive from union with labor, be will do mankind a thousand times more good. So, if the Queen ol Englaud, or the Em peror of France tax the people, and pay high salaries to incapable*, to give balls for the encouragement of laces, satins, and ent broidered superfluities, it is easy to see the . bankruptcy and ruio that mutt sooner or la ter eosne, and that the laborer will become a dependent, and the poof pooler, by tbe prodigality that seems to fatten them.

APPLETON'S BOOK-STORE, NO. 346 AND 348 BROADWAY, NEW YORK. ABOTK we present an interior view of the new and superb bookstore, No*. 346 and 348 Broadway, N. Y., opened not long since by this well-known publishing house. The shops in New York are both causes aud effects of its prosperity; and when luxury and good taste are associated with industry and bare money's worth, as in the ease of the marble palace of the Stewarts, aud in the new ac commodations of the Appletons, it is'a gain to all parlies. The purchaser will buy his book as cheaply or (wiili the extention ot the business) cheaper ilivir ever, and will nave his property beside in the convenience and elegance about him. This is true enough ol every tine shop; but most of all of a book store which is converted at once from a mere wareroom into a costly free public library.— The book shelves of the Appletons we con sider no unhappy continuation of the old li brary that preceded them. Certainly now here will be found greater facilities for the knowledge of all the most important depart ments of literature in tbe new, and especial ly the more valuable works of the day . The den ia which an English publisher hides himselt, or tbe order room from which his MINTS ABOUT BKD-ROOMS. Their small size and their lowness render litem very insalubrious ; and the case is ren dered worse by close windows, and thick Uangiiigs, with which the beds are often so carefully surrounded us to prevent the possi bility of lite atr being renewed. The conse quence is we aro breathing vitiated air du ring Ihe greater part of lite night, that is du ring more than a third part of our lives ; and thus the period of repose which is necessary for the renovation of our rr.eutai and bodily vigor, becomes a souroe of direase. Sleep, Under such circumstances is very often dis turbed, and always much less refreshing than when enjoyed in a well it often happens, indeed, that such repose, instead of being followed 'by renovated stiength and activity, is succeeded by a de gree of heaviness and languor, which is nol Overcome till the person has been sometime in a purer air. Nor is this the only evil ari sing from sleeping in ill-Ventilated apartments. When it is known that the blood undeigoes moat important changes in its circulation through the lungs, by means ol the air which toe breathe, and that tbe vital changes can only be effected by the respiration of purs air, it will be easily seen how Ihb healthy functions of ihe lungs must be impeded by inhaling for many successive hours the viti ated air of our bed-rooms, and howthe health mutt be effectually destroyed by respiring impure air, as by living on unwholesome or innutritions food In tbe case of children and young person* predisposed to consumption, it is of still more urgeut consequence that they should breathe pure ait by night as well ae by day, by secu ring a.continuous renewal of air in their our series, bed-looms and schools, ate. 1-et s mother, who has baen made anxious by the sickly looks cf her children, go from pure aii into their bed-rooms in the morning before a door or window has been opened, agd re mark the state of the atmosphere—the close, oppressive, and often fetid odot of the room —and she may cease to wonder at the pale, •ickly aspect of ber children. Let her pay a similar visit some morning after means have baen taken by tbe chimney ventilator or oth erwise, to secure a full supply and continual renewal of the air in the bed rooms, during* tbe nighl, and aha will be able to aooount lor the more healthy appearance of her chil dren, which iaatue to be the consequence of supplying them with pare sir to breathe. —Sir Jamei Clari. publications are acid, offer* no such advan tages to the purchaser.

The building now occu pied by the Appletons was originally built for the purposes ol the Society Library, at the cost of about 900,000, m 1835, and was held for that purpose till the last year, when it was purchased with tiie lot for a sunt ex ceeding aim hundred thousand dollars.

The whole building is heated by steam pipes, supplied from a boiler in a vault under Cath arine Lane; this boiler also affords power for the supply of water 10 tho upper stories, The TurlfT iu Coigress. In the House the Tariff presr ted a great light. For weeks and weeks past it was known that persons were lobbying for lairing off the duty ou railroad iron, and to admit wool duty free. The New England Railroad interest had made a bargain with the rail road men, and the tariff reduction men of the South naturally supported anything to re duce the present tariff. The attempt was full made tc pass Mr. Houston's tariff, but the New England men wanted to do better than that; they wanted topaasiheirown bill, andhenco they rather ess'ined Mr.Robbins in staving off the consideration of the bill, by substituting the Civil and Diplomatic bill.— Meanwhile, the Senate, by a combination of interests, passed the railroad iron bHI, giving a credit of three years to the importers of that article. Everybody understood that this bill practically takes aWay the July oc rail road iron, and admits it, in fact, duty free. This round about legislation opened the eyes of a portion of the Pennsylvania Dele gation. They saw that they had the choice ot two evils—lbe choice between the Tariff matured by the Committee of Ways and Means, and the miserable ex parte humbug, matured by the New England manufacturers and the Railroad Companies of the South and West, Wbiga, Democrats, Frae-Soilets and Abolitionists conjointly. The Senate bill took away the duly on railroad iron en tirely, and threatened to ruin'with one fell blow an important branch of the industry of Pennsylvania, while at the saute lirtle, it isolated Pennsylvania—made her the scape goal of the South and the North, and cut her off from that assistance from her Northern sister States which a common misfortune would secure to her. Mr. Houston's Tarifl' strikes, in a less de grea at the interests of Pennsylvania ; and ii doss not make her aloho iho sufferer The cotton manufacturers of New England will feel the blow as much as the iron muter* of Pennsylvania, and tho sugar grower* of the South also get a small bit W discomfort in the bill. 80, if the state of the country benaftet point out the error* of the praaent legislation, Pennsylvania will not ba alone in her struggle to get rid of it: The Democratic members from Pennsyl vania, bed to make a choice between two evil*, end eeven of them selected the leu.— They aeled wisely. If they had voted down the Tariff of Mr. Houetou, the i I road men in Congreae, together with the woolen man- for tha convenience of the occupants and the security of the building, to order not to obstruct the entrance or sidewalk on Broad way, a seperate building has been construc ted on Catherine Lane as a hnistway for goods, to which steam potter may be appli- 1 ed. There are olhot on trances on Leonard Street, whict] form the northern boundary of the building, foi the receipt and delivery of goods in the book establishment. The sec ond story is divided into seven rooms suited to mercantile purposes. Tho third aud fourth suftles, vompnaing 14 rooms, are well adapted for engravers, araliitects, engineers, etc. The upper stcry is designed exclusive ly for artists, having a north light in each of the eight rooms. The Messrs Appleton oc cupy the entire first floor and basement, each 60 feet by with the front vaults And under cellars. Artistic effect has been studied id lbs inferior decorations of the first floor—the ceiliyg is supported by fourteen Corinthian columns in imitation of Sienna marble. The ceiling and walls are painted in fresco, Iront designs executed by Now land and Kearney.

In this emergency Messrs. Wine, Florence, MeNair, Wright, Btraub, Bridges, and Jolres threw themselves in the breach and voted for the Tariff of Mr. Houston.— They acted with foresight and discretion, and deserve the thanks, not ohly of their constituents, but of the whole State. It is due to Mr. Robbins to state that though ha acted against Mr. Letcher's amendment, he voted subsequently for it on aver stage (ill the amendment (the Tarifl) was yut in, and the bill passed.
