DfiATn from Old Age.— Rarely Is there
seen- a*case of death from pure old ago. In
those who live longest, some disease isusu*
ally developed which lays the axe to the
root of the tree; but occasionally the body
wears itsolf out, and without a malady or a
pain sinks by a slow and unperceived de
cay. All the aged approximate to the'con
dition, and show the nature of the process.
The organs have less life, the functions less
vi;?or; the sight grows dim, the hearing dull,
the touch obtuse; the limbs lose their sup
pleness, the motions their freedom, and
without local disorder or general disturbance
it is everywhere plain that vitality is reced-
Theoldare often indolent from natur
al disposition; they are slow in their move
ments by a physical necessity. With the
strength enfeebled, the bones brittle, the lig
aments rigid, the muscles weak, feats of ac- 1
tivity are no. longer possible. The limbs
which bent in youth would break in age.— i
Bendy used to say he was like his battered
trunk, which held together il left to itself, 1
and would fall to pieces with the. jolts and i
better days. Lord Chester- 1
field, in his decrepitude was unable to sup
port the rapid motion of a carriage; and
When about to take an airing, said, in allu
sion to the foot’s pace at* which ne crept
along, “ 1 am now going to the rehearsal of
my funeral.” The expression was one of
many which showed that hi* mind hod not
participated in the decay of ; his body; but,
even witn men less remarkable, it is com
mon for the intellect to remain unbroken
amidst snrrounding infirmity. The memo
ry alone seldom ewape*. Events long gone
by retain their hold; passing incidents ex
cite a feeble interest, and are instantly for
gotten. The brain, like a mold that ha* set,
keeps the old impressions, and can tako no
new ones. Living rather in the past than
the present, the ,aged natQraily love to re
produce it, and grow more narrative than is
always entertaining to younger years: yet,
without the smallest sense ol weariness,
tbrycan sit for hopis silent and unemploy
ed ; for feeblenessrendersrepose delightful,
and they need no other allurement in exis
tence than to feel that they exist. Past rec
ollections themselves are sometimes erased.
Fontenelle outlived the knowledge of his
writing*; but the winter which destroyed
his memory allowed his wit to flourish with
the freshness of spring. Ho could mark and
estimate his growing infirmities, and make
them the subject of livelysayings. « l am
about,” he remarked, ‘ f to decamp, and
have seat the heavy baggage on before.”
When Brydorie'a family read him his admi
rable Travels in Sicily, he was quite uncon
scious that his own eyes had beheld the
scenes, and that his own lively pen describ
ed them; but he comprehended what he
heard, thought it amusing, and wondered if
it was trup?
Next the body relapses into helplessness,
the mind into vacancy; and this is the sec
ond childhood of man—an expression upon
which some physiologists have built fanciful
analogies, as if infancy and age, like the ris
ing and setting sun, were the same unaltered
object in opposite parts of the horizon. But
there is little more resemblance than in the
vegetable world between obscurity and rot
tenness. Sir Walter Scott, when growing
infirmities made him speak of himsell play
fully as coming round to the starting point
of the circle, said ho wished he could cut a
new set of teeth. The remark .touched the
distinction between the morning and the
oveniag of life. Infancy and age are both
toothless; but the teeth of the former are
coming, the teeth of the latter are gone—the
oneys awakening to a World upon which the
theY is closing its eye* The two portraits
re i i perfect contrast. Here activity—there
•rp<r—here curiosity,; there ligtlessness—
ere the prattle of downing intelligence,
the babbling of jexpiring dotage. De
rep tude, which bos! sunk into imbecility,
ms: be endeared by past recollections, to
a lo red; but to despue it is an insult to ho*
ian nature, and it, on its own ac
>un is wasted sympathy. Paley rightly
tser t«i that hapjtiiyft4 was with* dozing old
to it its easy chair; its well a% with youth
thi pride>and' , *xuberancoof life; and if
i fe dings are less buoyant, they are more

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

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

: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.; <but they are signs cfde*
uility,'and a failing system, which have no
