The simple caution was suffi cient, and Cash, in the joy of his discovery at what he had seen and done, for a mo ment looked as conceited as Mo Mercer himself. .Busy indeed 'was Cash, from this time forward, to explain to gaping . crowds the'exact appearance orthiePiano, how he had actually taken hold of it,'and.

If a caution shot pasbed through the _ ranks, it was sure to kill - *blind three' or four; but if a shell alighted and exploded, the mischief was considera bly greater. A shell from the enemy's guns alighted in the middle•of our square.

Whet may have been the true-reason for this mode of Preserving; the . human body, is, not very certain - ; it may have originated in friendship orin.re ligion. Some argue that it is a practice adverse to the true notions of Christianity, while others think it difficult „tO say whe ther the idsa of preserving . the material fabric of a man be in favor of or against the benefit) the soul's immortality. It is said that-the -Egyptians thought that the' soul departed from the body at the time of death, and. continued in a separate state of exist ence for the space of three thopsand-yearsi when it-again took possession of,its origin.: al' tenement; provided.that tenement was, pres,erved—,otherwise it Was obliged ;3) pass into the -body Of ,some animal.: This idea, prepossesses:A&senra., tinmoaFafity,-an d 'ould•dxpan the gre'at . itteMnin'paid - tf;V the .art'of embalining, - and . the- thiCtrine bears some remot&arialogy to the (.311'ristian doctrine Kill eLrestirre.etiotheother. hand,. a belief in the soul's immortality and existence in another-state, gives but little encouragement to the preServation of the clay which - le - once animated. _Muck has I)een'wroten relative to Mum mies, acid • numerous,.ipechnens - hat4been 'preserved' and minutely examined,• The English_and _the :Frenchlhave; . _however, -spread great light on this subject, bejug the result, of their expeditions to ihat interest ing land of antiquities,--rthe immense cilia - - combs and cities or the dead have been thoroughly explored by them; and Baron (army has presented -us.with much . infor: nation relative to the races of the people now preserved as mummies. From the inspection ef their heady, ; the Baron ap pears to have proved what historians had conjectured, that the Egyptians have really . descended from the, people of Abyssinia and Ethiopia. The Copts areolloWed„by all to bellescended from these last pefiple,• and the skulls correspond precisely with those - or the ancient mummies. So that' whatever may have been the intention in preserving the body as a mummy,. we see that it has resulted, in the advancement of human knowledge. The keeping- of the human .frame, especially the head, gives-us the history of the anatomical confirmation of bygotiolraces of men. An anatomist well schooled in osteology, can describe the races of the- mummied bodies with as much fidelity as the antiquarian can give tis the history of 'the dug up specimens of the arts and improvements of the people of -Herculaneurn and PoMpeii. , • In a dissection of a 'Mummy, by Doctor b.ady _was.. found..to _coo tain_ most of the viscera.
