I am not very much of a physiologist, and at the risk of incurring n smile of pity or derision from those who consider themselves learned in its science of Phys- ioloey ,' I will state that. in the present im- perfect statc, I have not very large respect or it. Now, there’s Anatomy; you know sornething for certain about it ; the number, size, weight, texture, and situation of the bones, muscles, cords, tendons and different organs of the- body can-be demonstrated, and, of course, inferrences can be‘rdrawn rc- gerdin; their uses and tilestment in many purticulsrs. In others there has been a great deal of guess-work done, and in no regard have guesses been more prolific than regard- ing the brain,~unless it may be the much- abuscd stomach and liver. The question asked at the beginning is one that has many times presented itp'elf for my consideration. For many years"th there has been a vast amount of preaching to people about over-working their brains ; and as I lay down tryiugto take an hour's ‘s rest, nod, in uccordnnccavifh my physical" requirincnts, working tremendously hard to stop thinking, the thought came to meâ€"ond I had to think itâ€"why not stop breathingto rest the lungs ? r.~‘ The chain of thought which follorvod may not be original. I do not know. It was new to me, and affords me great consolation; for I must confess this idea of stopping thinking to rest the brain has always been repugnant to me. \Vebreathe Wi do not simply breathe it, conscious volition th the lungs, but the lungs produce the air we brcutiio; they and that without any on our part, excepting at times when we find it beneficial ton-e- fresh our lungs by drawing in an extra. quan- tity. Some say we think with the stomach, and perhaps (lyspcptics do. Ordinarily, how- ever, I suppose we think‘fivith‘ the brain, but the brain docs not produce the thought we think. It simply thinks it, and that,‘ usually, without any conscious volition on our part. Now, let us curry the purulch farther ; Suppose a person of large lung capacity cou- fiued in a small room. The llll‘ of the room soon becomes vitintcd uud injurious to the lungs. have used your lungs too muc . stop breathing and let them‘ rest 2' Shall we say to that crson, “ You You must It seems to me such a proceeding would hurd- ly be more absurd than for us to any of per. sons who have cx‘mustcd the brain in a cor- tuin round of thought, that they must stop thinking. W but do we say to persons Whose lungs have been weakened or diseased by breathing the some air over and over? We tell them to breathe fresh air, not to stop breathing. The world is as full of thought as it is of air. The one is appropriated by the lungs, the other by the bifiiu.

Looking at the population of the three kingdoms; it may easily be perceived that there is a. considerable difference amongst thcm with respect to temperament. The Irish are gay, ardent; the Scotch are com- pumtivcly cool, steady and cautious; the English are\,\ perhaps, a fair average between the two. 0 remember it was not incle- gnntly observed by a friend, llintun English- man thinks and speaks : a. Scotchman thinks twice before he speaks : and an Irishman speaks before he thinks. A lady present addedâ€"“A Scotchmun thinks with his head, an Irishman with his heart." This allusion to impulse operating more to idly than do- libcrstiou is akin to Miss E gewortli’s rc- mnrk that an Irishman may err with his head, never with his heart ; the truth, how- ever, being that he obeys his heart, not al- ways waiting for the dictates of his head.

It was our particular experience to visit one. The audience was com principally of men, he sat with their lists on. Some of them smoked cigarettes, and other: were eating pieces of sugar-cane, which, next to rice, is a source of great enjoyment to the China- man.

The music, or rather the noise, wuss regular clatter, bang, squeak, all together. and separately at intervals. There was no stage curtain cr flies.

Finally, the hero held her head, and the heroine her foot, and thus they held her and pretended to throw dirt over the co so. In a moment the corpse got up and we ked off.
