Tx& DUCHESS OF BERRY.—The marriage of the niece
of the Duchess of Orleans with the Duke of Berry was
an event of great importance in the history of the former
.tiply family. Lively, gay, witty, generous, and open hearted
ntable the Duchess of Berry captivated all parties, and ever;

in such an women have ever lived whose passions have betrayed them
into more acts of indiscretion and impropriety than this

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANIMAL AND VEGETA-
BLE LlFE.—That animal life is a distinct substance, and
not an accident or quality of the body to which it is at-
tached, an argument may be drawn from a comparison of
it with vegetable life, in the manner i■ which both cease
to exist. If a tree or plant be drawn out of the earth, or
cut from its roots, it does not immediately shew any signs
of decay. Its branches retain their elasticity,itslettves

their verdure, and its circulation proceeds unchecked for
some time after the mortal shock is given. As its juices
are exhaled, its parts wither and gradually decay, till its
vital powers are totally extinguished, not by any determi-
nate crisis, but by the continued process of death (if 1
may so express myself) attending them. The dissolution
of animal life is sudden. Its powers often continue to
the last ; and the instant of its departure is generally
marked by a violent and convulsive effort, not unlike the
last parting flame of a taper, to which it is often compared.
This effect is sometimes produced when the body has re-
mained for a time in a torpid state, and apparently
.life-
less. It then revives for a moment, struggles, as if to
break or to retain its hold, and is gone for ever, affording
to the eye of the attentive observer a conviction, exceed-
ing all argument, that some real substance united to the
body was at that instant forcibly wrenched and disunited
from it.—Fraser's Magazine,
