His was a natural aaih, unaccompanied by disease; and .ougjb this is unoommen, yet disease itself ystl softer hand upon the aged than the jung, as a tottering ruin is easier over mown than a tower in it* strength. . SnjrpTOMi or Death. —When disease passes into dying, the symptoms usually tell the tile to every eye. Tlie half-closed eyes turned upward, sink in their socket* ; the ballW have a faded, filmy look; the temples and iheeks are hollow; the nose is sharp ; the iips hang, and, together with the face, are i ometiroe* pale from the failure of the sirct lation, and sometime* livid from, the lark blood, which creeps sluggishly through he ’ eins. Startling likenesses to relations, jid he self of former days, are sometime* eve tied when the wasting of jhe flesh has ive i prominence to the framework of the ice. The cold ol death seizes upon the ex am tic*, and continues to spread a' sign f cc mmon notoriety from time immemori* I, v hich Chaucer has described in verse, nd Shakspeure in still more picturesque ros i. Tho Very'breath strikes chill: the cin * clammy; the voice falter* and lose* s cwn familiar tones—grows sharp and tin, tar faint and murmuring, or comes with i unearthly, muffled: sound. The pulse, ime' imes previously deceitful, breaks down •is 1 rst feebler, then slower; the beats are ml and broken by pauses; the intervals -re iso in frequency and duration, and at lgth it falls to rise no more. The respire .ion, whether languid or-labored, becomes slow ; it the close ; the- death-raitlo is heard at every expulsion ul air; the fangs, like tho pu se, become intermittonrin their ac. tion ; i. mirinte-or two may elapse between the effort to breathe; nmf then one expira tion, which has made “to oxpiro” synon ymoui with “tp-die,” and the conflict with the bo ly in over. " As at abstract description of man wonld fit ovehy body, although forming a portrait of no onet (loath* have their individual pren* iiaritiesl in which tho difference* of detail do not affect the likeness of the outline.— Many trait* are frequent which are far from usual. Snmo, when they are sinking, ton* the clothes from their chest*, and though the attendants, indefatigable in enforcing their own notions of comfort, replace them un ceasingly, they are n* often thrust back.— i There must be oppression in the covering, I or it would not be thrown off; but the pa tient himself in fre»pictiUy unconscioa*, end tho net is instinctive, Hike the casting aside the bed-clothes on u sultry night in the obflv intisnosH of sleep. Other* pick at the sheet* or work them between their finger*, which may be done in obedience to an impulse of tho nerves; or lo excite, by friction, the senso of touch, whioh is growing benumb ed. We have seen persons among tho low er orders bnrst into tears at witnessing an action which conveyed to their mind* a sen tence of death. The senses are constantly Rubjcct to 'illasions. Tho eyes of tho dying will conjure up particles which they mis take for realities, and attempt to eaten them with their band; or, if,they are looking at the bed, they supposo them Speck* upon the clothes, anu assiduously endeavor to brash them away. The ‘itwfut shadow cast by death throw* a solemnity over every object within its range, and give* importance to ac tions that would otherwise be thought too trivial for notice. Ears,: soon to be insensi ble to sound, are often.assailed by imagina ry noise*, which sometimes assumetbeiorm _n - ~ I " of words. Cowper, who was afterward the thrall of fancied voices, which spoke as his morbid spirit inspired, heard three time*, when he hang himself in earlier days, the exclamation, *Tis over!” The old ideal that the monitor of man summoned him when his final minute bad arrived, may ea-l sily have been jfpnnded npon actual occur-1 rences, an’d the agent was inventhd to ex-| plain away an undoubted and mysterious ef> I feet. Shakßpeare, who possessed the pow er to press everything into his service, has I recorded the supretition m Crolius and Gres-1 sada: “Hark! yon are called: some say the Gen* ins so ‘ - 1 Cries Cornel to him that instantly must' die.” : - : , I Philosophy or thz Sighs, or P&kmatuu \ The moment whioh converts' & . sensitive body tn innnlnmtft rnstfer is 'often indistinguishable; bat one' would hardly think that any one who had deliberately contemplated a corpse—icy, stiff and mo-* tionless, with nothing of humanity except-1 the form—could suppose that life might put J on the * borrowedilikeness of shrunk death.* j and men, who are still of the.presentwcrla, be consigned by mistake to & living tomb. Yet many persons* especially wemen. are so hannted with the idea that they will almost fear to sleep, lest they should wake with six feet ol earth for their covering and a coffin for their bed. Solemn physicians abroad— ;for in England these terrorists boast no ed ucated disciples—have written books to ac credit the belief and add a deeper horror to the grave. Each successive production of the kind, however* is little more than a re suscitation of its forgotten predecessor, from which it differs about as much as the alma nac of this year horn the almnnap of last year. No perfect security can be devised against willful carelessness, any more than against willful murder; buj because a' friendless traveller fell a victim to the rashness of {an ignorant surgeon, there is no occasion! to fright the world frohi their propriety, and endeavor to persuade them that with the best intentions the { living are liable to be confounded with the dead—to be packed sleeping in a coffin, and stifled-waking in a grave. . V ' { In the midst of: exaggeration and in vention there was one undoubted circum stance which formerly excited the worst ap prehensions,—the fact that bodies were of ten found Turned in their coffins, and their grave-clothes disarranged. Bat what, was ascribed, with seeming reason, to the throes o :vitality, is now known to oedoe to the agencies of corruption. A gas is developed 1 in the decaying body which mimics by its mechanical force many of the movements' of life. So powerful is this gas in corpses ' which hare lain long in the water, that M. i Devergie, the physician to the Morgue at Paris, and the author of a text-book on legal I medicine, says that unless secured to theta* I hie, they are often heaved up and thrown to ! the ground. Frequently strangers, seeing I the motions, run to thekeeperofthe Morgue ) and announce with horror that a person j alivo. All bodies, sooner or later, generate the gas in the grave, and it constantly twists j about the corpse, blows out the iskm till it rends with the distention, and sometimes bursts the coffin itself, when the gas ex plodes with a noise, imagination has conver ted it into anontcry or groan; theigrave has been reopened; the position of the body has confirmed the suspicion, and the laceration been taken for evidence that the wretch had ' gnawed his flesh in the frenzy of despair.: So many are the circumstances which will occasionally concur to[support a conclusion 1 that is more unsubstantial than the) fabric of a dream. Violent and painfnl diseases, which kill speedily, are favorable to the f ormation of the gas; it may then exist two or three hours after death, and, agitating the limbs, gives rise to the idea that the dor mant life is rousing itself up to another effort. Not nnfreqnently the food in the stomach is forced out through the mouth, and blood poured from the nose,; or the opening in a vein where a victim of apoplexy has been attempted to be bled. Extreme mental dis tress has resulted from these fallacious symptoms; for where they occur it is com monly supposed that thtf former appearance of death was deceitfalyiadfhat recavery was ifattendance Had been at hand. Tests or Death.—Shak spears, who, it is evident-from his dramas, had watched by many a dying bed with the same interest and sagacity that he bestowed upon those who are playing their part in the busy world, has summed up the more obvious charac teristics of death in the description the friar gives to Juliet of theeflecu of the draught which is to transform her into thetempora ry likeness of a corpse: u No pulse shall keep '• His natural progress, nutsurceaae to beat*. No warmth, no breath, shall testify thou Ur * eat: The rosea on thy lips and cheeks shall fade To paly ashes; thy eyes 1 windows fall, Like Death, when he shuts up the day of Each part, deprived of supple government, Shall arid, and stork, and cold appear, like death.” These are the ordinary signs by which death has always been distinguished ; and it would be as reasonable to “ seek hot water beneath cold ice,” as.to look for any rem nant of vitality beneath to inanimate an ex* terioj. The cessation of breathing, in the opinion of Sir Benjamin Brodie—and no opinion, from his natural acuteness, his phi* losophic habits, and his vast experience,can be more entitled to weight—is alone a deci sive test of the extinction of life, and a test' as palpable to sense in the application, as it is sure in the result. “ The movements,” he says, “ of respiration cannot be overlooked by any one wno does not; choose to overlook them, and the heart never continues to act more than four or rive minutes after respi ration has ceased.” The ancient distinction of the heart was to be “primus* vivmt f ulti mum mmmi”—the first to last to dio; and a commission of the French Acad- emy, who lately made a i report on the sub ject, admit that when there is a considerable pause in ita pulsations, it is impossible for life to be lurking in the. body. But as the heart can only beat for a brief space, unless the lungs play, and as common' observers can-deteet the latter more readily than the former, the termination of the breathing is the usual and safe criterion of death. To ascertain fwith precision whether it has completely stopped, .it was formerly the custom to apply a feather, or a mirror to the lips. When Lear brings, in Cordelia dead, he exclain is: ; • “.Lend ms a looking-glass; It that her wreath will mist, or stain the-stone, Why, thot, she livea.” And immediately afterwards he adds, u 7ti* feather stih: she lives}” The same-test which led Lear to the fallacious inference that Cordelia lived, induced Prince Henry to infer falsely that his father was dean: “ By these gates of breath There lies a downy feather, which stirs not j Did he suspire, that light and weightless down Perforce roust move.” Nor were these method* very popular] they were lone likewise the trust of physician*. Sir Thomas Browne terms them “ the criti* cal testsofjdeath;" and, presuming that the Romans cjtold not be ignorant of them, he thought theircalling in the ears of their corps es “ a vanity of affection”—an ostentation of summoning the departed)! back to life, when it was known by other infallible means that life fled. But itia how held to be a better method to scrutinize the movements of the cheat and belly; one 1 or bothof which will rise and fall whue any breathingeontiii ues. It is generally, however, expedient to leave the body undisturbed l for two Or three hours after all seems over; forth? case of Colonel Towsshend: related by Cheyne in his “ English Malady, '’ appear* to favor the supposition that, though the heartaud longs have both popped; bfaiinay now and 1 then linger a little linger than nnUd. “Colonel Townahend,| .described as a gentleman ofgrett honor i»i integrity wai in a dying state.

As death ial the final ex tinction of corporeal feeling, to nnmbneea increases ea cfeath comet m. Tile prostre. I tionoTdiaeaae, like healthful fatigue, ongen dejt a growing stupor—a sensation of: snb siding softly into a ooreted repose. .Tbo transition resembles what may be seen in tnoso lofty, mountains,- whoso sides exhibit every climate in regular gradatiba: Tegeta 'uon luxuriates at their baee and dwintSain ! fee approaoh to; tbo region of Jno'w till its ~ a L mimife,la f ioi > « repressed by the cold. The sosalled agony can] never be more formidable than when thebrain iathe last to go, and the mind preserves to the end a rational cognizance of the state (if the body —yet persons thus situated commonly attest that there are few things in life less painfnl than the close. “If X hod stain Ah enough hold a pen,” said William Hunter, “1 1 J°Ti e^ ow ®*V 80(1 delightiul it is to i di«- *l/thia be dying,” said thi niece of I Newton of Olney, “ it is a pleasam thing to d . ie >.. V. 11 ® T eiy expression',” adds her un i de, which another friend of mine made use of on her death-bed, a few years aao.” I The same words have so often been utter ed .¥“l®* circumstances that .we could fill pages with instances which are on ly varied by .the name of the speaker. “If : this bo dying," said Lady Olenorcby, “ it id the easiest thing _ imaginable.” “1 thought that dying had been more difficult,” said UrnaXiy. “I did not suppose it was so sweet to die,” said Francis Snarez, the Span ish theologian. An agreeable surprise was I the prevailing sentiment with them all: they I expected thestream to terminate in the dash i of the torrent, and they found it waa losing itself m the gentlest current The wholßof .me faculties seem sometimes concentrated IS?** 1 ? enjoyment The day Arthur Murphy died, he kept repeating from Pope, | “Taught half by reason, half by mere de- I cay, _ . :To welcome death, and calmly pass away. Nor does the calm partake of the sensitive new of sickness. There was a swell in the sea the day CoUingwood breathed bis last upon the element which had been the scene of his glory. Captain Thomas expressed a fear that he was disturbed by the tossing of the vessel. “No, Thomas/ 5 he replied, “lam now in a state in which nothing in this world can disturb me more. lam dy ing; and I am sure it must be consolatory to you, and all who love me, to see how comfortably I am coining to my end. 75 A second and common condition of the dying is to be lost to themselves and all around them in utter unconsciousness. Countenance and gestures might in many eases suggest that, however dead to the ex ternal world, an interior sensibility still re mained. Bnt wehavethe evidence of those whom disease has left at the eleventh hour: that while their supposed sufferings were pitied by their friends, evistance was a blank. Montaigne, when stunned by a fall from his horse, tore open his doublet: but he was senseless, and only knew afterward that he had'done it from the information of his attendants. The delirium of fever is dis tressing to witness; bat the victim awakes from it as from a heavy sleep, totally igno rant that he has passeddays and nights toss ing wearily and and talking wildly. Per ceptionswhichhad occupied the entire man, could hardly be obliterated in the 0 f recovery; or, if anyone were inclined to adopt the solution, there is yet a proof that the callousness is real, in the nnffinwMpg manner in which bed-sores are rolled upon, that are too .tender to bear touching when sense is restored. Wherever there is in sensibility, virtual death precedes death it self, ana to die is to awaks in another world. * - More usually the mind is in a state inter* mediate between activity and oblivion. Observers, unaccustomed to sit by the bed of death] readily mistake increasing languor for total insensibility; but those who watch closely can distinguish that the ear,, though dull, is not yet deaf—that the eye.- though dim, is not yet sightless. When a oystand er remarked of Dr. Wollaston that his mind was gone, the expiring philosopher made a signal for paper and pencil, wrote dow- _ ior paper and pencil,' wrote down some figures, and cast them up. The supe rior energy of his character was the princi pal difference between himself ana thou sands who die and give no open sign. Their , faculties survive though averse to even the I faintest effort, and they badly testify in lan i guid and broken phrases that the torpor of > the body more than keeps pace with the in ertness of the mind. The same report is | given by those who have advanced to the venr border of the country Jrom whence no | traveller returns. Montaigne, ' after his acci | dent, passed for a cerpse, and the first fee ble indications of returning life resembled i some of the commonest symptoms of death; bat bis own feelings were those of a man who is dropping into the sweets of slumber, i and his longing was toward blank rest, and uot for recovery. 11 Methought,” he says, “my life only hung upon my lips; ana 1 shut my eyes to thrust it out, and took , a pleasure in languishing and lettiag myself go.” In many of these instances, as in a case of stupefaction, there are appearances which we have learnt to with suf fering, because constantly conjoined with it. A cold perspiration bedews the skin; the breathing is harsh and labored; and some times. especially in delicate frames, death is ushered in by] convulsive 'movements, , which.'look like' the wrestling with an’op pressive'* enemy.; [ tfodjrof f*BoeUe,thefneridofH6ntaiim2 :i : and it was,at thiryWy moment «hßtrrouaod by the weeping of His feexcijwi q ed, w Who is it that torments mo thus* Why was I snatched from mydeepand plawit repose * 0, of what rest doyon depme toe!"
