ING,It-Ageff /Waists on the Races of Man. We give the following from the Boston Traveller's repoii . braggassies lectures, delivered at Lowell, Msno. : We next come to the geographical dis tribution of the rases af man ; and here we must leave out of consideration all question as to the unity of the races.— Professor Aggassis is conscious that his views, on some points, are not generally received, and he fully respects the :natives which make the views of others almost as- tied to them. He hopes that. , his views will be received in the same spirit as he represents them, via; in the effort to rive at truth. We will first study the limits of .the range of each race on the different• coati neon!, and must .consequently eliminate every element depending upon migration, tut the present American races. We are to consider the primitive location of the races, that is, the• distribution of man as' recognized .by the earliest traditions.-1 The question is, where the races were 0- riginly placed, rather than what are the modern changes in their distribution. The first race to be considered is one peculiar to the Arad° regions, a race dif- fering much from any inhabiting the tem perate zone, and still more front those of the tropics. This race comprises the Es quimaux of this continent, 'the Laplanders of Europe,- and the Samoydes of Asia. They are all characterized by a broad faCe; short in -its vertical diameter, a low ' fore head, and great length of body, when Com pared with the shortness of the legs.— For more minute descriptions the works of PickOring and •-Prichard -- mtist - be :Can suited. The distribution of these, recce correspond very nearly to the zoological regions of the north. , The races of temperate zones are three. The Mongolians in Asia, the whites in Europe, and, the aborigines in America; and it is remarkable, also, that these ra ces accupi the same territories ad the fau nas previously described. In Asia hits been described the terrestrial Japanese fauna, the insular Japanese fauna, the Chinese fauna, and the fauns otthe _Cas pian regions , intermediate to that of Ee rope and Asia. Inhabiting precitely the same countries. are the Japaillfilie, Chinese and Turks. The Indiana of North America are.a distinct race, (on this point Prof. Aggas- Biz disagrees with Dr. Pickering,) differ I ! iug from the races of the Old World, as 1 the inferior animals of North America 1 differ in species from those of the Old rtiVorld. Ibis only within a few years that he animals of North America have been ' ,considered not to be identical with those of Europe. The aboriginal . Indian race is identieol-, (rein the Arctic region! to Terra del Fuego, the Duly; , differencivbehig one of tribes, not of races. These tribes aro divided into an influite number of small tribes, a filet perfectly in accordance with the distribution of the inferior ani mals upon this continent. We have seen that a great mountain chain, extending from the Canadas to Patagonia ' connects North and South A merica, and produces a certain uniformity in their faunas ; that their faunas are sub -1 divided into those of the Pampas, the An tilles the Andes, the Southern States, tho I Middle States, the Canadas, the table 'lands west of the States. and those of Or.' egon and California. In the . same 'man ner the aborigines are sub-divided hitt. ,a 1 large number of small tribes, which are circumscribed within narrow limits. They ;form no great nations. as.do the Chineseji Tartars and Japanese of the east. The Caucasian race is widely distributed' into and divided i many nations. Those hinhabiting the eastern part of Afriiai, the northern part of Arabia, Mesopotamia, Asia Minor, &c.. all- constitute different nations, with - different e different languages. The Tentonie branch, including_ the German, Dutch, English, Danish, &o.; the Selavo nian branch, including the Russians, Poles, I &c ., each have a nationality and language I peculiar to themselves. But they all have la feature in common, . vis-t a noble ei pression of the face, above that of all other races, a mirror of the. innermost move ments of the soul, and it is this branch, also, which is capable of the highest arter ial culidre and the highest degree of °lain zation. • -Africa has one characteristic race—the 1 negro. But the,interior of the great dea ert, Nubia and Abyssinia. have races dif , ferent from the negro. The Hottentot lives at the south, and the western shores [ have their peculiar tribes. It was •possi ble. even during his recent visit to the i Southern States, to recognise among the negroes those belonging to these several lAfrican tribes. - In the East Indies are three distinct species :'the Malay, Teliogan:and Negril lo, (like the negro, only dwartiih.) The . Australian is a tribe peculiar to that coon. try. 'Mei features arc those bf the ne t gro;but the hair isstraight - -and Bowing. The inhabitants of Madagascar are a ,pe i-culiar tribe, but oar informatio e:concern i ing them is scanty. They aro not negroes, .ibut resemble more the-inhabitants of the `Sandwich Islands. With these fads before us we can assert that there is a, Jaw of distribution of the human race, as well as of the inferior ra ces, and that these laws are in aocotdance with each - other. , A Rhode Island clergyman lately illus trated the necessity of corporeal punish- Merit for the correction of juvenile deprev ity, with .the remark, that "the child, when once started in a course of evil con duct, is like a locomotive on the wrong track—it takes the switch to get it off."— When the reverend gentleman , delivered himself of this piece of waggery, with all becoming gravity, a genera - I,oe lit up the countenance of many.-iui • attentive hearer.

A PURITAN SUNDAT.—As ever, matter! connected with the social life and custom., of the first settlers ofNew England is of , much interest to theirdescendants, we pro- I proem!. in, a few short articles, to give as correct a description of "Sunday .in New England" two hundred years ago, as we can collate from our former annals. The Puritan Sabbath commenced on Saturday afternoon. No labor Was performed, on the evening, which preceded the Lord's Day. Early on Sunday morning, the blowing of a herd, in some villages, an nounced that the hour of worship was at hand ; in other . places, a flag was hung out of the rude building occupied by the, church. In Cambridge, a drtfm was beat., in military style. In Salem a bell -sated the opulence of the settlement. The religious services tumidly commenced at nine o'clock in the morning, and occupied. from six to eight hoursottsided by an inter. mission of one hour for dinner. The peo ple collected quite punctually. as the law compelled their attendance. and there was a heavy fine for any one that rode too last to meeting. The 'sexton called upon the minister and escorted 'din to church, in the same fashion that the Sheriff now conduct: the. Judge' into nor 'State courts. The minister was clothed with mysteriouti awe and great sanctity by the people, and in intense was this. sentiment, that even the minister's (amity were regarded, as demi gods. The Puritan Meeting noose was an old structure. Tne first. ones erected by the colonists were of logs. and had a tauten on the top. Those standing two. ten turieut ago were built of brick, with clay 'plastered over the courses. and '.covered with-clay4nirds, tow called '•clap boards. The roof Wail thatched,iiii buildings are now seen' in Canada East. Near the. church edifies stood , those sncietit institutions-- the stocke—the whipping post—amid large wooden cage in confine offenders against the lases. Upon the outside of the church and fasteued to the walls, were the heads Of all the wolves killed during , the eessitn. In.front of the church in many towns, an armed sentry soled, dressed in this habiliments . of war: There • were.no . pew in the church. 'rho congregation had places asisigned them .upon the rude bencnes,, at the annual town - meeting, ac cording to their age anti social position,— siSeating the meeting hotted." -as it was called. was* delicate and difficultbusiness • as_pride, envy 'and jealousy were active pasidons in those . days. A. person was fined. if he occupied a seat assigned to another. The elders occupied seats be- neath the pulpit. The boys were ordered to sit Upon the gallery stairs, and as ..buys always will be boys." thrt;e ' constables were employed to keep them in o r de r ,-- Prominent before the assembly some wrenched meteor female offender, sat with a scarlet or "D," on the breast, iii - deit'ote 'ollie crime soda. We make a few extracts from the laws oldie New England Colonies respect ing the Sabbath : "The Sabbath day shall begin at-sunset on Saturday." woman shall kiss her ..children on the Sabbath or fabling day." ..No one shall run on the.
