Extraordinary Lase ofDeIusion.

FROM MADAM DU MOVERS LETTERS.
The following story will appear to
youincredible and fabulous; and perhaps
/ need not assure you that had great
difficulty in believing it but as had it
from the lips ofthe individual who forms
the subject oft, and as he was vision
airy. attributed it to the effects of a
disturbed imagination. The event
as least as far as this persons mind
was concerned) occurred in our day,
and is attested by many in the city Of
Nismes. The tale is thus told. Mr..
Graverol was alone in his study one day
about two O'Clock in the afternoon, hen
a stranger was ushered in as soon as
he was seated, a conversation started
up between the two. The stranger ad-
dressed MIG. in elegant latin, saying that
he had heard his learning spoken highly
OF, s. he had come from a distant country
to coverse with him on things which had
embarrassed the ancient philosophers.
After Mr.. G. had replied suitably to the
compliment offered to his talents, some
very abstruse subject was introduced
and handled in a scientific manner. The
stranger did not con6ne himself to
the latin language, but he spoke greek,
and some eastern tongues, which Mr.. G.
also understood perfectly. The latter
was astonished and delighted with his
guests profound information; and for
fear some person should call on him and
interrupt it, he proposed to walk, which
was readily acceded to by the stranger
The day was delightful, and you know
there are some beautiful walks in the
neighbourhood of Nismes; they lett the
house with the design of going through
the gate called Crown gate, which lead:
TO some gardens, and very fine aven-
ue Of noble trees. But as Mr.. G's house
was considerable distance from the
place above mentioned,they were oblig
ed 10 cross several streets before they
reached it. During the walk Mr.. G.
was observed by many Of his acquaint.

noticed to be speaking at intervals
what added to the surprise was, that nc
person was seen accompanying him
Some of his friends sent TO his wife, ex.
pressing their fear that he was deranged
describing the manner in which he was
noticed to pass though the streets. She
being greatly alarmed at the intelIi

several persons in search of him bu

Extraordinary Surgical Operation.--,

felt that his merits were less fairly An.
preciated, and his instructions less kind

of his shins; he was persuaded, in short.
that his bow shins stood between him

SELrIsliNEss.- Death is no more rtlar
the GOODNESS of the heart-wheu it;
fountains cease-and its streams freeze
and it heaves not in the swell of pas.
sion, nor to the impulse ofthought-but
remaining stiff and torpid in its source

physical death-that which is ordained

uniform changes of the material world

Heaven is at war with inaction and

it is in vain that your pulse. beats, and
your eyes sparkle, and health invests

.' MUSIC.


Sir Everard Home has recently made
some inquiries by way of comparison
between the aurcular organs Of man.
and quadrupeds. The result of his re.
searches seems to prove that shrlll tones.
OF the upper notes of an instrument
have comparatively little effect in excit-
ing the attention of animals. whilst the
full lower tones stimulate them almost
to fury. Sir Everard observes, s.that
the effect of the high notes of piano
fort upon the great lion in Exeter
Change, only called his attention. which
was considerable, though he remained
silent and motionless. But no sooner
were the bass, or lower notes, sounded.
than he sprung up, lashed his tail, and
yelled violently, and endeavoured TO
break loose ; and became altogether SO
furious, as to alarm the spectators pres
ent. This violent excitement ceased
with the discontinuance of the music. -
The deep tones Of the French horn also
produced similar effect with the lower
tones OF the pianOiorte, on the elephant.
and other animals on which the exper-
iment was made.
