Meanwhile, time passed on ; the Seven Tears' war -was fought thg partition of Pol and took place ; America- became free ; the French Revolution - and the long war began; Napoleon subdued Prussia, and the English bombarded Copenhagen. The husbandman sowed and reaped, the miller ground and the smith hammered, and the miners- dug after the veins of metal in their subterranean work-shops. As the miners of Falun, in the year 1809, a little before or after St. Johns Day, were excavating an opening between two shafts, full two hundred ells' t 'below the ground, they dug from the rubbish and vit riol water, the body of a young man, entirely saturated with iron-vitriol, but— -otherwise, un decayed and unaltered—so that one could distinguish his features and age - as well as if he had died only ,an hour before, or had fallen asleep for a little while Et f, his work. but when they ha . d. firogght 'him. to the light of day, father and mother,- friends and acquaintances had been Iclig dead ; lip one could identify the sleeping yottiti,orte:lle,ny thiag about his misfortune, till she came; Who' Was once , the betrothed of the • miner Who had One d,4y gene to the mineand never returned: Gray - and Shrivelled; she came to the place hobbling upon a crutch, when more in joyful ecstacy than pain, she sank down iipon the beloved form; As soon as she had recovered her exposure; she exclaimed, "It is my betrothed, whom I have mourned for fifty years, and whoni God now permits me to see once more before I die. A week before the wedding time; he Went Under the earth and never returned." All the -bystanders were moved to tears as they beheld the form; er bride, a wasted and feeble old woman; and the bridegroom still in the beauty of youth; and how, after the lapse of fifty years her youthful - love awoke again. But he never opened his mouth to smile, nor his eyes to recognize; and she, finally, as the only one belonging to him and having a right to' him, had him carried to her own little room, till a grave could be prepared in the church-yard. The nez,iday, 'when all. was ready, and the, miners came to take him away, she opened a little drawer, and taking out the black silk cravat, tied it around his neck, and then ac companied him in her Sunday garb, as if-it Were their wedding-day and not the day of lapdal 'A a_therL.laid_him in k , a, grayo in the cm.rchyarn, sae sada : wen - no for a few days in thy . cold bridal bed, and let riot the time seem long to thee..

E.Fronz, our- Fal-lal Correspondent anKnot On Tuesday last, a lady of title, whose name has hitherto been kept a profound se cret, whilst proceeding up the grand stair case of Sutherland House, to pay the amiable duchess a visit, neglected, we are sorry to state, to lake the customary precaution of walking up sideways. The c;:?jastsquenced of -her recklessness (which; it is to be hoped, will apt As a waiving to other, ladies) was, that her dress, which; -scion. la' mode, was fully twice as broad as it was long, became so completely wedged in between the balus ters and the Wall, that it was impossible for her to move either one way or the other.— Her ladyship's position was not one of the most agreeable in the world. It was, in fact, as alarming as it was awkward ; for it was not a . pin's point more practicable for her to advance than it was to retreat. •There she remained for some considerable period, per fectly immoveable in body, though not un moved in temper; and every minute of that prolonged agony will probably be recollected by the fair ,prisoner . of Crinoline until the last day of her life, When:she throwS Off the "mortal coil of hoops' ,ll. and heaVcOOped pettij coats. Finding, at last, her efforts to release herself from her ridiculous immurement per fectly. ineffectual, the question naturally arose as to what had best to be done.

The phenomena of heat in the body is some-: thing like that produced by the combustion of fuel; such as coal ; only in the body the eotsibustioUis. slow, and the heat far lower than that of flame. The act of breathing itzt very like the bellows of a smith, and our food is very much the same as the coals he puts on his fire. It is probable that some ,heat may be produced, in the secreting organs of the body by the chemical action which takes place in them. From these two sources ani ,tnal heat is probably derived: •It is positive * certain that the blood is heated at least one degree of Farenheit in passing through the lungs ; and that arterial blood is warmer than veinous. Most of the phenomena which occur in the production of heat may be ex plained by attributing it to a combination or trniou of the oxygen of the air with the car bon of the blood in the lungs. -' The supply of animal beat enables the body to resist, the fatal effects of exposure to a low temperature: ,In the polar regions the ther-: mometer often'falls to I.OS or 109 degrees be low zero ; and-yet the power of evolving heat, possessed by our bodies enables us to resist this degree of told: The temperature of our bodies in that region is about the same that it would be were they in the regions near the equator. The thermometer, if plungtd into the blood of man in both situations mention ed, *Mild indicate about the same. Our bck dies have nearly the sametemperature in both places • because so to ,speak, and it -is liot very Asurd; the . combustion or fire:in the lungs gives_ out more heat, it burns with greater intensity in the polar regions than in the equatorial.. We all know that a large fire will warm oar rooms,' no matter how cold it may be. We can_give our rooms the same temperature in winter that we have in the summer, if we regulate our fires accordingly. 4 little incu fuel is all that is requisite for that purpose: iiTattire: has so or4red that when our bodies are in a cold temperature, : In other words, she compels us to take in more fuel, and increase the combustion in the lungs. The Esqpimaux eats blubber, which is mostly all 6a6on, and the Laplanders drink plenty of grease:. Iu warnl countries, the food of the Laplander would kill the nogro; and the food of the natives of the West In dies would not be able to keep the ESCI uiniaux from perishing with cold. The temperature of the human body and of most warm blooded animals, is from 98 to 100 degrees Farenheit, and is effected but a few degrees by any variation of that of the stirrotinding atmosphere.

They must line their vests well along the back bone, and provide against freezing. It is a fact that warm clothes tend to save food in proportion to the cold of the atmos phere. This is the' reason why cattle th 4 are well housed consume less food, and keep in better condition, than those which are shelterless and exposed: NO. 28 Convent_Life---14:4.40 , TN113 SY Tr.„-i e• At the Convent-of Poor Charles, (Brussels) the nuns never lie down, but sleep upright.— " I went," says the author of `toFlemish In teriors," `! up a narrow, cork-screw, stone staircase, into their cells, and saw their er traordinary beds; they consist of a hard and almost cylindrical mattress, stuffed with straw, about three feet long, at right angles to 'which is fixed an exceedingly hard and :upright mat tress of straw, (pailasse) to support the back: There is no pillow, neither are' there sheets, and only one small thin blanket. A basin and ewer of water stood on-the ground, and the sleeping habit hung on a peg behind the door. There was no other furniture. A small window opened on the garden, and the hon eysuckle -which embowered it gave something of a cheerful aspect to the denuded little clor 7 Mitory. They rise at half-past four o'clock, are al lowed five minutes to wash and dress, and go down to chapel, where they pray and medi tate till half-past five, when their first mass is said; this is always at a fixed hour, and is followed by one and sometimes two more.— After these, they remain at chapel till half past 11.
