A. Thrilling Sketch
One of toy father's brothers, residing . in Bos
ton at the time when the yell-Ay fever prevailed
to such a frightful extent, "became a victim to
the pestilence. When the tirst symptomB ap
peai•ed. his wife sent the ,-hilifr u n into th e
country. and herself remained to attend upon
him. tier friends -arned her a7ainst such
rashness. They old he would he death to
31114 no be efit to, him : •he coon wonhl
hi too ill to know :Mein 1 upon hint.
These arguments - made no impression on her
affectionate heart. She telt that
a long life of satisfaction to her to
-attended hint, if he did not. She
stayed and watched with mireinitting; eau..
This, however, (lid nut avail to save hint. Ile
grew Worse iind worse, and finally died.--
Those who went round with the death carts
Itad visited-the chamber, and seen that the end
was near. They now came to takezthelidy.
His wife refused to let it go. She told toe shce
never knew how , to acconr.t for it, hut though
he was perfectly cold and rigid. and to every
appearance quite dead. there was a powerful
impression on her mind that life was not ex
tinct. The Melt were overboi ne by the strength
of her conviction, though their own reason was
opposed to it.
The half hour amain came round. and again
were heard the soCenin words, "bi iug (rayon!
dead." The wife again ri-sisied their iniverr=
tunnies ; rut tus tune tre men were more
resolute. 'They said the duty assigned to them
; was a painful one, but the health of the town
required punctual obedience - to the coders they
received if_tiley ever expected7tire pi.; - stilence
to abate, it !ink be ht- a prompt retnoval of
the dead, and immediate fumigation of the in
fected apartment.
She pleaded and pleaded, and even knelt
down
. to them in agony of tears, continually
saying, -"I am sure he is not dead." The men
represented the utter absurdity of such an
idea ; but, finally overeMne by her tears, again
departed. With,tretubling haste site renewed
her efforts to restore him. She raied his
head, rolled his limbs in hot - flannel, and
placed hot brick to his feet. The dreailed hour
came tonna., nail found him as cold and
rigid as ever. She renewed her entrearies so
ilesperately., that the messengers, IkTgan to
think a little gentle-ioree would he necessary.
They accordingly attempted to remove the
body .against her will, but she threw herself
upon it. and clung to it with such frantic
stiength, that they could not easily loosen tier
grasp. Impress by the remarkable energy
of her Will, the retaxed their clh,rts. To all
their remonstrance:4l she answered, "if you
bury him, you shall bury me with hint." At
last, by dint of reasoning on the necessity of
the case, they obtained from her a, promise
that. if he showed no signs of rife before they
againcatne round. she would make no further
opposition to the removal.
flaying gained this . respite, site hung. the
watch upon the bed , post, and rerewkil her ef
forts with redoubled zeal. She kept kegs of
hot %%ater about hint, !Owed hot brandy be
tween his teeth; and breathed in his nostrils.
and held hartshorn to his nos,y: but still the
body lay motionless and cold. She looked
anxiously at the watch, and in five minutes
the promised half hour would expire, and those
dreadful yokes Would be heard passing, through
the streets. I lopilessiress came over her—she
*hopped the head .she had been sustaining—
her hand trembled violently - and the ham Ls.

pallid fare. Accidentally the position of the

and the powerful liquid flowed into his nos

Man's Heart and Its Machinery.
11Iatt has two hearts, and each of these is
double -; so that he may be said to have four
hearts. Two of these are •for bright. red
blood. and - two for purple or dark blood. It
is usual iu biolis to call red blood arterial. nml
-the purple blood venous. But each of thez-e
two double hearts has its own set of arteries
and veins. and the arteries of the one.ate al
ways filled with red, and the arteries-of the
oth...r with !Purple blood. The veins. in lilse
manner. of each are in ii.verse order—the veins
of the red heart being purple, and the veins of
e purple bring red ; for if the blood gOeq
oil red it CotT.,ti back purple, awl if-it goes out
p rple it comes back red. It always goes out
.d from the heart on the left side. and comes
i ► purple to the heart on the right tool it
al way2-govs out purple from the heart on the
right side. and conies in red to the heart on
the left side. And thus it makes its everlast
ing - round, tieing converted from purple to ied
by passing i hrongh the !flogs. It is a wonder-
MI piece of inecliammn a steam engine is a
clumsy affair compared to it. Each heart has

It appears that in Paris tt discovery has been

lead. mercury or arsenic bray be extracted flout
the system, by the potent agency of electricity.
—The /media opriwidi is as follows:
-A metallic bath is insidated on glass legs
and partially tilled whlt acidulated water, to
convey more readily the electrical currents.
The patient lies . iipon a seat in the tub insula-,
led entirely from the bath. When gold, sil
ver or mercury is in the system, nitre of by
drocholorie seitls are employed. When lead
is suspected the acid used is sulphuric. This

work of purification .commences.' The elec

It may bo a consolation to those who have
felt the influence of the late long anti protracted
dry weather to know that droughts are one of
the natural- causes to restore the constituents
of crops and renovate Cultivated_soila. The
diminution of the mineral matter of cultivated
soils takes place from two causes
Ist. The quantity of mineral Matter carried
off in crops and not returned to the soil in ma
mire.
2d. The mineral matter carried ofr by rain
rater to the sea by MUM of fresh Avater
streams.
These two causes, always in operation..and
eounterneted by nothing, would in time render
the earth a barren wasto in which.llo verdure
would quicken and no solitary plantltake - root.
