_Phrenologists--Anti-Phrenologists_.
_Phrenologists_. The bantling which but a few years since we ushered
into the world, is now become a giant; and as well might you attempt to
smother him as to entangle a lion in the gossamer, or drown him in the
morning dew.
_Anti-Phrenologists_. Your giant is a butterfly; to-day he roams on
gilded wings, to-morrow he will show his hideousness and be forgotten.

Apf, a Norwegian prince, is stated to have had sixty guards, each of
whom, previous to being enrolled, was obliged to lift a stone which lay
in the royal courtyard, and required the united strength of ten men to
raise. They were forbidden to seek shelter during the most tremendous
storms, nor were they allowed to dress their wounds before the
conclusion of a combat. What would some of our "Guards" say to such an
ordeal?
