It is our purpose to discuss, as briefly as possible, some of the most important aspects of dissolution. Addison said that there was nothing in history more imposing than, nothing so pleasing and affecting as, the aoeounts of the behavior of eminent persons in their dying hours; and Montaigne remarks, while speculat­ ing on death, that, of all the passages in the annals o€ tnankind, those which attracted and delighted him most were the words and gestures of dying men. '* If I "were a maker of books," he con­ tinues, "I would compile a register with comments of various deaths, for he who •should teach tnen to die would teach them to live." There are three elements presented in tihis fear of death: First, "the extinction of life's pleasures, inter­ ests and hopes, to which the mind looks forward with a degree of apprehension proportionate to the amount of happi­ ness they are capable oi affording. With the young and vigorous the loss of these animal enjoyments is contemplat­ ed with extreme misery ; hence the cus­ tom among the early Greeks of bearing the lifeless body of youth to the funeral pyre at the break of morn, "lest the sun should behold so sad a sight as the young dead." Second, the dre:\d of the unknown future, also de­ pending upon the nervous temperament. And' lastly comes a fear more powerful than either, which is the dread of pain, inherent in nature. From time imme­ morial the actual moment of dissolution has been supposed to toe accompanied by a throe of anguish, known as the "death agony." This is believed to occur at that moment when the spiritual and physical forces that have been so in­ timately blended for many years are torn asunder--the one to molder and decay, the other to take upon itself that new life beyond the ken of man. This last element properly belongs tc the physiologist, and as such we propose to consider it. Sir Francis Bacon, in one of his essays, published for the first time in the year 1577, gave to the world the following profound thought: " It is asnatural to die as to foe born ; and to the little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other." In profundity of thought and depth of research Baoon stepped in advance of -his contempora­ ries, and lived in the future. Thus we find that, contrary to the generally re­ ceived opinion of even this latter day, nacure evidently designed that the end of man should fee as painless as his bo- ginning. At birth the babe undergoes an or- deal that, were he conscious, would be more trying than a most painful death. Yet he feels it not. Born in an uncon­ scious state, the brain incapable of re­ ceiving conscious impressions, his en­ trance into this hitherto unknown world is accomplished during a state of ob­ livion, known as nature's anaesthesia: benumbing of the cerebral ganglia, thereby destroying both consciousness and sensation. The patient gradually 'sinks into s deep stupor, the lips become 'purple, the face cold and livid, cold per­ spiration (death damp) collects on the forehead, a film creeps over the cornea, iand, with or without convulsions, the dying man sinks into his last sleep. As the power of receivnig conscious impres­ sions is gone, the death struggle must be automatic. Even in those cases where the senses are retained to the last, the mind is usually calm and collected, and the holy free from pain. " If I had strength to hold a pen, I would write how easy and delightful it is to die!" were the last words of the celebrated surgeon, William Hunter; and Louis XTV. is recorded as saying with his last breath : " I thought dying had been more difficult" That the painlessness of deatfrik due to some benumbing influence acjing on the sensory nerves may be inferred from the fact that untoward external sur­ roundings \arely trouble the dying. On the day that Lord Collingwood breathed his last the Mediterranean was tumultuous ; those elements which had been the scene of liis past glories rose and fell in swelling undulations, and seemed as if rocking him asleep. Capt. Thomas ventured to ask if he was dis­ turbed by the tossing of the ship. "No, Thoiuas," he answered, " I am in a state that nothing can disturb me more--I am dying; and I am sure it must be con­ solatory to you and all who love me to see how comfortably I am coming to my end." In the Quarterly Review there is related an instance of a criminal who escaped death from hanging by the breaking of the rope. Henry IV., of Fracce, sent his physician to examine him, who reported that after a moment's suffering the man saw aa appearance like fire, across which appeared a beau­ tiful avenue of trees. When a pardon was mentioned the prisoner coolly re­ plied thait it was not worth asking for. Those who have been near death from drowning, and afterward restored to con­ sciousness, assert that the dying suffer but little pain. Capt. Marryatt states that his sensations at one tiuie, when nearly drowned, were rather pleasant than otherwise. " The first struggle for life once over, the water closing around me assumed the appearance <3 waving green fields. * * * It is not a feeling of pain, but seems like sinking down, overpowered by sleep,, in the long, soft grass of the cool meadow." Now, this is precisely the condition presented in death from disease. In­ sensibility soon comes on, the mind loses consciousness of external objects, and death rapidly and placidly ensued from asphyxia. In spite of the natural antagonism to death, a moment's reflection will show that it is as much a physiological pro- oess as life ; the >two terms are correla­ tive, the degree of vital activity depend­ ing on the extent of molecular death oc­ curring at the same time. Strange as the paradox may seem, without <3eath we cannot live; every thought emanat­ ing from the brain, every blow struck by the arm, is accompanied by destruc­ tion of nervous or muscular tissue. The bioplasmatic or living matter which en­ ters into the formation of every animal tissue is constantly germinating into cells (the origin of all life), and as con­ stantly passing into decay, their plaoes being taken by other protoplasts, thus keeping up the " active dance of life." This disassimilation, or interstitial death, occurs to such an extent that na- t«Be, in her wisdom, has provided excre- mentary organs for the purpose of re­ moving from the system the effete material thus produced. Every living structure, after passing through certain stages of development, maturity and, finally, retrogression, must come to an end. This may be but the ephemeral existence of some of the lower forms of fungi which, born in the cool of the morning, die as the sun goes down ; or, like the famous dragon-tree of Tenerifife, may outlast the pyramids that keep watch by the Nile. The last topic for consideration is the pseudopia of death, or visions of the dying. This subject, coming under the realm of mental science, properly he- this drowsiness creeps over the system, those images, molded from the pastK befcome as realities to the disordered imagination. The germs from which originate these strange combinations have probably been lying dormant for years in the registering ganglia of the brain. These death-bed visions are of com­ paratively frequent occurrence, and are generally accepted as realities. The theory which we promulgate, though not new, will naturally excite prejudice; but it is better to know the truth than cherish a belief, however pleasing it be, founded on error.--Tttomas D. Spencer, If. Z>., »n Popular Science Monthly. The Kiss Poetically Considered* Maidens in English high life thought it a sweetly fond conceit for Lord Bea- consfield to wind up his story of " Lo- thair' with a subtle suggestion of a kiss. " I went," says the arist'xratic hero. Lothair, " into Corisaudcs garden and I plucked my love a rose." It is not neces­ sary to any one who is familiar with the ways of a youth and a maiden that the plucking of a rose is the creation of a kiss. When the lover plucks a rose, he snatches* a kiss. Any other sort of a kiss is a poor sort of an affair. Preparation or premeditation takes the only real joy that comes from a kiss. Who, for ex­ ample, would care to go through the mock joys of stage kissing? Yet. so far as these mere external forms go, Juliet's lips meet Romeo e with as much ardor before the inquisitive thousands as Chloe's in the wildwood, with none to mark the red flush that sends its signal to cheek and brow. The kiss is regarded by phi­ losophers as the most aucient sign in the code of human manners. There can be no doubt that Adam kissed Eve, for example, long before the apples on the tree of knowledge were ripened. It is LONG-LIYED PEOPLE. * jfcefacy Trautham, of Tennessee, of the waiters.**' It often happens that the attendance is insufficient, one waiter being assigned to too large a number of in 1K34, aged 154 years.

At restaurants, conducted on ftx. particulars of this individual are given in the National Gazette, from an account dated Murfreesborough.Tenn., February 22, 1834: She was born in Germany, and emigrated to the British colonies in American at the time when the first set­ tlement was made in North Carolina in the year 1710. At the age of 120 years her eyesight became almost extinct, but during the last twenty years of her life she possessed the power of vision as per­ fectly as at the age of 20 years. For many years previous to her death she was unable to work, and is said to have received great attention in her friends to prevent the temperature of her body from falling so low as not to sustain ani­ mal life. At the time of her death she had entirely lost the senses of taste and hearing. For twenty years before her death she was unable to distintruisli be- the old style, the waiter also expects | something.

Various theories have Wn history death has been considered as necessarily accompanied by pain; so general is this belief that the terms "deathagony," " last struggle," "pangs of death," etc., have been in almost universal use in every age and under all conditions of society. Nothing could be more erroneous ; the truth is, pain and death seldom go together--we mean the last tnoments of life. Of course, death may bo preceded by weeks and even months of extreme suffering, as occurs during certain in­ curable diseases So exaggerated has been this notion that it has been considered an act oi humanity to anticipate the "death iology. Various theories have been | advanced to explain these phenomena, j but they must remain as hypotheses at 1 best, tor they are not susceptible of | demonstration. It is aot an uncommon j oQciirrence for the dying, after living ' some hours in a semi-conscious condi- j tion, to start up suddenly, and, with glowing face, point eagerly to some object invisible to the bystanders, and, with animated voice and gesture, state that they behold the glories of heaven or the familiar countenance of some friend long since dead. The question naturally arises as to whether these conditions are merely the fantasies of a disordered and fast-disor­ ganizing brain, or are the dyingactually S±^ay 1rler\ foriTifc customary among the lower classes of £ysteries hitherto unknown. The traditions and superstitions of Europe to hastesn death by suddenly jerking the pillow from beneath the head of the dying, thus throwing the head backwar J, straining the pharyngeal and thoracic muscles, rendering the respira­ tion, already difficult, shortly impossi­ ble. A Venetian Ambassador, in the time of Queen Mary, asserted that it was a common custom among the coun­ try people to smother the dying by means of a pillow placed over the face, upon which leaned or sat the nearest relative. This was founded upon the pious belief that the short road was the best one. This custom was handed down from generation to generation, parents performing it for their children and vice versa. But perhaps the sad­ dest privilege ever allowed the friends of a dying taan occurred occasionally dur­ ing the reign of Queen Elizabeth, when through executive clemency--executions by hanging--they were permitted to grnsp tlie feet of the suspended criminal and, by clenching to the extremities, precipitate their additional weight on the body, thereby hastening strangula­ tion. It is needless to say that these theories are false in both conception and practice. Death is a physiological process, and, like all other animal func­ tions, should be painless. When the fiat of death went forth, na­ ture kindly provided an an aesthetic for the body. As the end of life draws near, the respiration becomes slow and shal­ low, interrupted now and then by a deep, sighing inspiration, as though the lungs were vainly endeavoring to throw off the palsy slowly creeping over them. As the intervals between the inspira­ tions grow longer the blood becomes saturated with carbonic-acid gas--the same which is formed from burning charcoal, whose deadly fumes have so often aided the suicide painlessly to de­ stroy life. While the power of breathing is grad­ ually failing, the heart, which is in close sympathy with the lungs, begins to contract with less force, propelling the blood only a short distance through its arterial channels, thus causing the ex­ tremities to grow cold. The blood sent to the brain is not only diminished in quantity, but it is laden with carbonic-acid gas, which, acting on the nerve centers, produces a gradual the past havajed to a popular belief in the latter theory. Shakspeare expressed the sentiment of his day when he placed in the mouth of the dying Queen Kath­ arine these words: Saw you not even now a blessed troop Iir.ite me to a banquet; those bright faces Cast thousand beams upon me like the sun? Science, with its iconoclastic hand, has swept away these pleasing fancies, and in their places has constructed a fabric founded on analogy. In the an­ aesthesia induced by chloroform a condi­ tion is produced closely resembling that immediately preceding death (caused by the carbonic-acid poisoning) in which visions are constantly presented to the mind, the character of which depends upon the natural temperament of the individual. . Thus it often occurs that a patient, when under the influence of chloroform, has beatific visions similar to those of the dying. It is my fortune to have at present a patient who invariably when under the influence of chloroform asserts that she sees angels hovering around her bed. The impression is so strong that she becomes much annoyed if the reality of these visions is disputed. The asphyxia produced by burning char­ coal is ofttimes accompanied by disturbed fancies similar to those preceding death, and the natural inference is that they are the resultant in both cases of one and the same cause. During the last moments of life the inind gradually loses cognizance of external surroundings and is rapt in self-contemplation. Though still in a semi-conscious condition the weeping of friends and the voices of at­ tendants fall upon dull ears. The eye­ lids are closed, the pupils slightly con­ tracted and rolled upward and inward. The dying man hag forgotten the pres­ ent, for lie is living in the past One by one the events of a whole life appear; its joys and sorrows, perchance long since forgotten, rise before him in startling distinctiveness, and then dis­ appear in the swiftly moving panorama. The familiar faces of the friends of his youth are thrown upon the mental ret­ ina, their cheery voices reverberate in his ears, and the thought of meeting these friends in the near future is per­ haps his last conscious impression. As cause and effect that it was with a k»«« that Eve tempted the unhappy Adam to taste the apple. Be this as it may, the world has been kissing a long time and to this day the most primitive form in which the lips can be brought together is looked upon with the highest favor by those who are amateurs in the *' meet­ ing " of the lips. A prayer, a kiss, and a gift, the proverb says, should not be criticized. Possibly a prayer, presumably the unstudied ex­ pression of pious fervor, should not be subject to the cold ratio-cinative process of analytical speculation; but a kiss-- that reward of a lover's devotion, that guerdon of dreaming youth, ecstatic es­ sence of the joys of sense, that fiesliy poem of an idyll perennial as the kfe of man and the morning song of the stars •--it is plain that there can not be too much said on the subject by those who cherish the means of joy that have been placed within reach of the most acute and sensitive fibres of the human sys­ tem. However eloquently the amateur may sing the sensation of the kiss, the dis­ criminating reader can not fail to have noticed the lack of scientific accuracy, or, so to speak, mental precision there is in the synthesis of this emotional par­ oxysm by those who have written most lavishly aod profoundly on the kiss. The poets, to whom heaven has mercifully given the eyes of the eagle and the sec­ ond sight of the angels in reoompense for mental aberation, have done most in habilitating the kiss. Shakespeare told much of the joy that comes from the casual touch of lips, but perhaps the ex­ quisite atmosphere and-odor, «o to speak, are nowhere so deftly •outlined and char­ mingly colored as 'in Tennyson, whose mouth one might imagine eternally an O, expressive of the fleeting delirium „of the meeting of the hps.--Philadelphia, Times. • A Thief lHsgaitmd as * loU* Lady A noble lady from Holland landed here with a secretary, a maid, and a colored footman, the little set putting up at the While Horse Hotel, in Leopold- stadt.

This was done, and when the diamond merchant came he was re­ quested to be seated, and the Countess took the little case into the next room, where the father-in-law was dressing, she said. After waiting a quarter of an hour, Mr. Jeweler knocked at the door and got no answer; tried the door and fount} it locked. A noise in the passage attracts his attention. A rush, and he is in the portier's loge, where he finds the Countess disguised in man's clothes and guarded by a police. Providence had warned the portier, and lie had stopped the Countess in good time as she was gliding past in her disguise. He saved the Vienna trades-people from the loss of many thousands, and placed a set of dangerous thieves under the lock | of justice.

It seems to me nature designs very few people to be scholars, but when so many make a failure of life, we are greatly sur­ prised and say that they had a good edu­ cation, when "in reality it was, for them, the worst education in the world, because they were not fitted to do their work. The result of education should be to ele­ vate one's uses, but sometimes a student himself reminds one of the cheap wooden box in which his books are packed. We certainly have different capacities for as­ similation of mental food, and I think that ,to be gifted with a tenacious mem­ ory and a brain that is not constructive, and a little heart that will always be poor and have nothing to give is a imost me­ lancholy state of affairs. There is a cer­ tain kind of character, which if it tries to be a scholar, is a miser with his wealth, because it does not know how to spend and make use of it.--Good Company. HOD FEIAOWS are not Masons, though they may tend that way. The Ignorance «f Edncated Men. [From the London World.] Even shrewd and clear-headed men of the world, who are supposed to be an courant with everything, and who hoa^e great opportunies of picking up miscel­ laneous information at their disposal, exhibit a dqgree of nescience upon r hout of matters, certainly not wanting is breadth or popularity of interest, which is little less than astounding. They have, perhaps, a correct apprehension of the motives and the character of the latest joint-stock company; but on politics, foreign or domestic, or any question connected with literature, science, art, or history, they have not a single idea except such as are derived from newspapers which give them their sole mental pabulum. It is surprising how high men of real brains and application may climb in profes­ sions that are learned and intellectual, and yet how infinitisimally little they pick up of general culture or of insight I into the rationale of events, past or co- I temporary. There are, of course, in | England, hundreds of lawyers whose 1 minds are embellished with every kind of knowledge, whose intellectual treas­ ure-house is rich in a multitude of deli­ cate thoughts and fancies, who hare traveled widely, seen much, heard much, and forgotten nothing; who would have been Bishops if they had gone into the church, and would have won for them­ selves the highest niche in the temple of fame if they had taken to literature. Yet lawyers, as a rule, whether barris ters or advocates, are not men eminent for intellectual accomplishments. Their conversation alternates between slop or slang. As much almost may be said of the politicians at this period. The aver­ age member of Parliament is one «f the most unidead, unintelligent people im­ aginable. He can talk over his consti­ tuents. Very likely he belongs to the GaTrick or the Athenaeum, but in gener­ al society he is nearly speechless, and w ,«ji he tries to be facetious in a coun­ try house his best jokes are memories of Gossets room.
