[merged small][graphic]

DEFINITION-Love and kindness between the sexes; a desire to marry, and preference for the society of the opposite sex.

LOCATION-This organ is located at the back of the head, behind the ears, and gives a fulness to the neck.

1. EVERY faculty of our minds, or function of our bodies, is given to us for a special purpose, which must be fulfilled to carry out the design of our Creator.

dearly; will try very much to please them; will like to wait on them and do them a great many little services; and as soon as they are old enough will be inclined to marry, that they may have some one whom they may love, and who will love them.

3. If girls have this organ large they will be very attentive to their fathers and brothers; will speak kindly, and be polite and amiable to them. This is an important organ, and should be cultivated. I have heard brothers speak harshly to their sisters; but it was only those who had not the feeling of love, which they would have had if this organ had been large.

4. A little girl once asked her brother to take hold of her hand, one morning when she was going to school, it being very slippery; but he said he could not stop, for he wished to go and play with the other boys. This little boy would not have spoken thus if he had loved his sister as he ought.

5. It is this organ which causes husbands and wives to love each other as long as they live. Old men and women seem to be more closely attached the longer they live together.

6. If this organ be perverted, or used improperly, it is the means of making men and women very unhappy, and very wicked. When you are older you will understand more about it, and will pay more attention to the right cultivation of it. It is represented in the cut by the little blind boy Cupid, with a bow and arrow.

What feelings does it create between husbands and wives? 6. What are the effects of the perversion of this organ? How is this organ represented in the cut?

DEFINITION-Love of children, animals, pets, and horses.

LOCATION-Philoprogenitiveness is the second social organ, and is situated directly above Amativeness, in the back part of the head, and is number two in the Symbolical Head.

1. CHILDREN, when given to their parents, are very small babies. If there were no love for them, they would be neglected, and would suffer for want of proper care and attention. They are very helpless, and could easily be injured or killed, and require a great deal of time, care, and anxiety, to keep them alive and in health.

2. But the mother, if she has this organ largely developed in her head, loves her little child, and would not part with it, though she were required to devote all her time and attention to its care. She watches its
