BY FANHY BBUCB COOK.
Loveliest by far 1b benutv't check
When tinted with the cilinson hue.
The delicate tints a 101U that speak,
Kind, innocent, Aud true.
A word or a look may Hart the stream,
From heart to temples rvmhinir;
Who loves not the molest face to flew,
Buflused in attless blushing f
Pnre token thon ot a sinless breast,
Where kindliest virtues dwell,
Where truth and peace like angles rest.
And wreathe their holiest spell,
Slight the emotion that stirs the tide,
Tne brow ot oand T flubbing;
Oh ! the pentlet feellnss of the heart
Are told In artless blushing.
The pern may add Us lustrous rny
To adorn the outward part. T
But the chaugeful hues ot the blmh's plaj
Are the lanpuaee of the heart;
For they tell of a mind undimmed ky vies,
All spell ot evil huntilng;
Oh I who would e'er doubt, the trullcless soul
That speaks In artless blushing?
The colorless face, the pallid brow,
May perhaps enchant thine eye:
But prtve me the cheek that owns the glow
01 nature's healthful dye.
It foetus to shadow an honest mind
Whore purest thoughts are Bushing;
And loveliest fur Is beauty's check,
When tinged with artlebs blushing.
CURIOSITIES OF THE HEART.
The heart is the first orsan that makos its ap
pearance in the animal organism. Tin first
trace of it is discovered about the end of the
third week of embryonic life, when it presents
itself a red spot a mere central point, as it
were from which sundry yellow filaments are
neen shootlna: forth. Thin Is the irerm of that
"fearfully nurt wonderfully made" instrument,
the human heart, accompanied by its principal
bloodvessels.
"This organ," says Oalen, "Is the root of all
the entails and members of th body, and the
very fountain of life, and of ail innate and vtal
keat." The heart, according to the fancy of the
Peripatetic philosophers, Is, in a human body,
as thj lirst intellipciice in the unlveise, and as a
kind of monarch in its own little world. The
substance of this muscular structure for such it
is emphaticully is very compact and strong, in
order that it may be able to resist the tremendous
strain destined to be put upon It, especially by
imprudent people, aid the better to preserve the
vital beat, aud the spirit which, as another
quaint writer remarks, "would soon breathe out
aud vanish away from it, were it ot greater
raiiety and softness."
I propose to present a few of the many curiosi
ties found In this little cabinet, at the death of
its owner.
On dissecting the body of John Pennant, of
London, October 7, 1037,'his heart was found to
be plubulur instead of the usual form, and
broader than it was long. The right ventricle
was of an ashy color, and wringled, und like a
leather pure In appearance. It was entirely
empty, and the fluid usually found in its cover'
ine (the pericardium, as it is called in ana
tomical language) was entirely dried up. The
left ventricle was three times as large as the
right, and seemed as hard as stone. On opening
- it there was found a fleshy formation wrapped in
various tolds, like a serpent, the body whereof
was as white as the human skin, slippery and
transparent, and apparently painted. It had
legs and arms of a fiebii color, aud nervous fibres
were discernible. The body of it was hollow,
but otherwise solid, and "a gut, or somewhat
analagous, subservient to the uses of nature,"
was touud in its cavity. This is given on the
authority ot a London physician, from whose
Latin narrative it was translated.
We have the account of a rami who die! sud
denly after having experienced the usual svniD-
toms of heart disease, to whose right ventricle a
worm was auacned. it was black; in color, and
was dead. Its shape was "like to those worms
fcund In wood."
A noted thief was subject to palpitation of the
heart, lie was put upon tne fatal wheel as a
Eumshment, and as soon as life was extinct his
ody was quartered, and his heart cut open when
yet warm and palpitating. In its right ventricle
theie were lounci tnree stones as laree as neas.
They were of an ashy color, were somewhat
elongated, and weighed about a drachm in the
acereeute.
Stones similar to the above-named were found
in the heart of the Emperor Muximil an II, who
was also subject to like premonitory symptoms,
In the heart of an ita.ian, who died in Paris
while studying medicine, tnerc was fouud a siiv
cie stone weigning several drachma, it was as
large as a nutmeg, nearly black in color, and
round in form. lie hud been violently ill tor
about a year.
An old anatomist, named Colnmbu", in dissect
ing the body of Cardiual Gamhara Brixiunus, at
Borne, found a tumor in the left ventricle of his
Heart, which was Hard, and as large as a hen's
cug. in anotner bisnops nettrt pieces or a
flehy erowth, as laree an a man's fist, .wera
found within the right ventricle, near the oriUco
of the vena cava. They were firmly united. Ho
had died suddenly.
When tlip bodv of Poba TTrhnn t.hn Tlirht.h
(1014) was opened for the purpose of embalming
it, t be let t ventricle ot his heart revealed trie
pretence of a piece of bone in the form of the
letter T. It is worthy of remark that in the gall
biauuer nve stones were deposited ot tne size ot
a filbert.
The heart of a man who died at Copenhaecn
of consumption was found to be as large as tuat
o a medium-6izcd bullock, lietore tt was opened
the left ventriclo felt harder than usual, leading:
to the suspicion that soma bony substance had
tornied there. This was confirmed by the dia
overy at the root ot the aorta of a bone resem
bling somcwhut the figure of the heart, and
spongy in its nature.
The heart of a Koman student was found want
ing in the pericardium, lie was subject to fits
oi sncope, in one ot woicn ne died.

At Venice a thief was executed whose lieurt
was found to be covered with hair. Tne same
was the enf of Anstomcnes, the Messenian.

make sure ot nis not escaping a second t me,
The Creeks recorded of lleruiogenes, the learned
ruetorieian. tliat his ueart was not onlv hairy
but laraer by tar than common. Leonidiis, the
"noble-hearted" leader of the immortal Spartan
"band at the lanious Straits ot Thermopyliu. being
killed in the engagement with thu army or
Xerxes, the latter, in revemr", caused his heart
to be torn out, when it, alo, was found to ba
covered hair like the hearts ust mentioned

the reputation ot a "lul-e-hearted man" in both
senses ot tlie plu-ite. The statements in thl
pnraL'raph indicate that hairiness was quite i
lrcqiient abnormal cuuiuctvrKtio ot the heart

Ztiiiialitis was hlain while flchtine valiantly
noaniPt the Swib, in 15M. HU body was cut
into lour pieces by tne enemy, and cast iuto tlm
flumes with the purpose ol obliterating nil traces
ot it. lint when, three tiitvs uttr .wirds, some o
Lis mentis viKiied tui uiiic, hoping ti recover
liis at-liee atone, Miey were sin piiod and over
loved to find his heart untouched by the Humes,
aithough the rest of his body was wholly con
sumed. In the reijrn of Queen Mary, when Crannior,
Archbishop of Canterbury, was brought to the
stake, he first thrust his rislit hand iuto the
flie. because with it he had signed hU recanta
tion. It was consumed th-st, and then the rest
. oi Lis noiiy. am nis neart, like that or uiug
lius. remained whole.
Au instance Is given of an English traitor that
was cost into the names titter the revolting pun
ishmer.1 ot rinuing ooen his bo els was indicted
whose heart leaded up several times from the
flame each time a shorter aid shorter height
before yielding to its tnte. i
The last example ol the wonderful resistance
ot the heart, even aralnst intense heat, such as
is sufficient to consume the other structures ot
the body, as we have just seeu, is vouched for
by Bacon in his "History of LUo and Death."
The case preceding tt is stated on the authority
of "Hakei's Chronicles." No doubt, the cases of
both Cranmer and Ztitnelun were attributed by
their superstitious adherents and friends to the
interposition of Providence, bat the fact of the
peculiarly solid structure and resisting power ot
the heart, stated at the 'commencement of this
a r-. , I n ill nnmiml In I, m nrnnrrfnrPR On
natural principles; tne knowledge of auy cook of
ordinary experience with bullock's hearts bctng
calculated to illustrate the cause clearly enough
to the rational mmd.
The behavior of the traitor's heart mentioned
by Bacon is explainable by citing the liability
of a structure so purely fibrous in its nature,
with Its fibres of tni hardest possible cast, to
set nreciselv in such a wav when brought into
more direct contact with ad iutenso heat; for it
will be observed that, tn the cases where mere
was no such suliatlon, the bodies were cast
into the tire whole, white m this case the
body was disemboweled before it was put to the
flames.
1 have before mo notes or several cases going
to show the nouilcrml resistance ol the heart to
the mortal tendency of wounds, contrary to
what is the reneral popular belief on tho sub
ject for the. notion commonly accepted Is that
It the heart is pierced in tho least, death must
ensue, and that instantly. But one example
must suffice. It U related by Parry. A noble
iran, in a duel, was wounded so deeply that the
point of the sword had entered the very sub
stance of his heart, and yet he used his weapon
vigorously lor a t'u-w while (1 quote literally ),
and then walked two hundred paces before he
fell. Alter hi dcu' u the wound was found to be
breadth of a ihi.er. and a great Quantity of
blood was found in the thorax.
Baron Dupuvtr.-n, tho great French surgeon,
has reported ii,.; cuse of a man who received a
stab on the fell ide of his chst, November 5,
11-31. lie was brought to tho Hotel Dieu, but
the symptoms tinner which he labored did not
lead to the suspicion that ne had received a
wound ol the heart at all. He died on the 13th,
of cerebral disease. Ou inspection ot the body,
it was found that tho left ventricle was wounded
about the middle, and a little to the right, its
cavity having been penetrated in a transverse
direction, iuc wor.ua was three lines aud a halt
across and one lir-e irotn above downward. The
external fibres of the heart separated the most,
nnd the opening diminished gradually, so that
the internal fibres were in contact, and closed
tho wound.
In the oi'hiion of Dumivtren. Iniurles of the
heart ate not necessarily latal. But Taylor, in
his extensive work on Medical Jurisprudence,
states his ueiiot tLat, with one exception only,
there is no case on record in which a person has
recovered from a penetrating wound of the cavi
ties ot the heart.

DEATH BtXHATlOX.
BY A SIlFBIFP.
"Every one roust die at some time, and I
suppose It matters little in what form the end
comes." i
Bo spoke John Gibson, one of a party of friends
who were gathered around a genial Bre in the
rooms of our mutual friend, the Sheriff of L .
"I don't know," said the Sheriff; "but. it
always struck me that it does matter how the
end conses."
"If you must die." said Gibson, "what Is it to

"Very true," responded ths Sheriff. "A man's
life Is easily taken, and all nodes have the same
result. But, then, I think one ought to consider
the amount of sutlerlng or disgrace involved in
thn method."
"Most persons, I sunnose. would prefer to ale
n their beds." said Gibson. "This I do not refer
to, however I speak of death by violence. If I
wers doomed to death, I would be careless as to
the means used."
"Yon think so now," remarked th Sheriff ;
but if it should come to tho scratch. I think
you would shun a death that involved sutler-
ng."

"Ihe maloritv. but not all. For Instance, be
ing guillotined wonld be far prclcrablc to being
burned at the stake. Indeed, the gudlotme is
really a humane mode of punishment. The
knile drops, the victim feels u cold pressure on
the neck, and then all is over." i
"ion sre quite eloquent," said Gibson, laugh
ing. "What do you think of the garrote ?"
"I have been told that method was nut a tor
ture." was the reply. "Eminent physicians have
informed me that, besides a slight choking sen
sation, there is no pain in this method. The hor
rible contortion and blackening ol the lace has
caused many to think the garotte a fearful tor
ture; but these changes in the race are accounted
for upon the simplest grounds."

"How diyoa know this?"
"I onceuad a descriptii

The party burst out into a laugh; but

Shend's face did not relax a muscle.
"Aloke's a ioke, Campbell," exclaimed Gib-
sou; "'but this yarn is rather too much lor our
cred ulity."
'Nevertheless, it is true." replied the Sheriff:
and if you want the matter explained, 1 may
as well tell you the whole story."

The Sheriff lauched eoad-humorcGl v.
"Wait till you hear it," he began. "Ten years
ago I was elected Sheriff ol this county. My
first attempt at opening court was made during

praved, desperate wretch, who had been indicted
for a brutal and atrocious murder. The fellow
