Thick Skulls.-The following extract
from DR.. Crichton's Inquiry into Men
tai Derangement, proves that the re-
proach is anatomically correct when
applied to those who labor under de-
feet Of intellect
eft is very remarkable that the skulls
of the greater number Of such patients
are commonly very thick; nay, some
have been found of most extraordina-
ry degree Of thickness. Among two
hundred and sixteen patients OF this
description, whose bodies were inspec-
ted after death, there were found l67
whose skulls were unusually thick, and
only So thin ones; among which last
number there was one which was much
thicker on the right side than on the
left. But in particular it was observ-
ed, that among ooraving madmen, IS
had very thick skulls and 90 very thin
ones; among which skulls there was
one quite soft. Among &c epileptic
raving madmen, there were nineteen
found with very thick skulls, and four
very thin. Among l6 epileptic idiots,
there were IA, and among 20 epileptic
patients l6, who had very thick skulls;
among whom there was one discover
ed, one side of whose skull was thick,
and the other thin. Among "a me-
lancholly patients, there were lS with
very thin skulls; and lastly, among 80
idiots % with very thick, 6 with very
thin skulls. All the others had skulls
Of natural thickness"

The moral tendency and importance
of the doctrines of religion, may be IL
lustrated by an application to men in
every station of life-Neither rank nor
condition, age nor sex, should neglect
its salutary precepts-above all the
poor and unfortunate classes OF man.
kind should cling to it as their last and
only hope. Religion diffases the same
lustre through the moral, as the sun
through the natural world. 1t cheers
the children of adversely, when misfor-
tunes assaiI and Disappointment affiici
them; wipes the tear from the eyes OF
the orphan, and conducts the devou'
and humble christian, whose life has
been series oftoil, pain and trouble
from the cradle to the grave, to regions
where the weary are at rest, and sorrows
are no more.

POETRY.

From Moore,s Sacred Melodies.
The turf shall be my fragrant shrine
My temple, Lord, that arch of thine;
My censer's breath the mountain airs,
And silent thoughts my constant prayers.
My choir shall be the moonlight waves,
When murmuring homeward to their caves,
Or when the stiffness of the sea
Fen more than music, breathes of thee
I'll see, by day, some glade unknown,
All light and silence like thy throne!
And the pale stars shall BIZ, at night;
Tile only eyes that watch my rite.
Thy Heaven, on which tits bliss to look,
Shall be my pure and shining book,
Where shall read, in words of fame,
The glores of thy wond'rous name.
III read thy anger in the rack
That clouds awhile the day.beams track
Thy mercy in the azure hue
Of sunny brightness breaking through!
There's nothing bright, above, below,
From flowers that bloom, to stars that glow,
Blu, in its light my soul can see
Some features of thy Deity
There's nothing dark, below, above,
But in its gloom trace thy love,
And mcekly wait that moment, when
Thy touch shall turn all bright again.

MISCELLANY.
THE LEGEND OF sNocKIRAFroN.

THE LEGEND OF SNocKIRAFToN.
We extract this story, in the last Quar-
terly, from "Fairy Legends and Ira
di,ions Of the South of Ireland"
'There was once poor man who
lived in the fertile glen Of Aherlow,
at the foot of the gloomy Galtee n oun-
tains, and he had great hump on his
back: he looked as if his body had been
rolled up and placed upon his shout
ders; and his head was pressed down
with the weight so much that his chin
when he was sitting used to rest upon
his knees for support. The country
people were rather shy of meeting him
in any lonesome place, for though, poor
creature, he was as harmless and as in
offensive as newborn infant, yet his
deformity was so great, that be scarcely
appeared to be human creature, and
some ilI-minded persons had set strange
stories about him af1oat. He was said
to have great knowledge Of herbs and
charms; but certain it was that he had
mighty skilful hand in plating straw
and rushes into hats and baskets, which
was the way he made his livelihood"
This poor little fellow, who bore. the
nickname of Lusmore, from sprig OF
fairy cap or lusmore which he always
wore in his straw hat, was belated one
evening, in returning from Cahir to
Cappagh, by the old moat Of Knock,
grafton. AS he sat down disconsolale
enough
Presently there rose wild strain Of
unearthly melody upon the ear OF little
Lusmore; he listened, and he thought
tina, he had never heard such ravishlns
music before. 1t was like the sound oil
many voices, each mingled and blend
ing with the other so strangely, that
they seemed to be one, though all sing
| ing different strains, and the words Of
the song were these:
sDa Lunn. Da Mort, Da Luan, Do
| Mort, when there would be moment
pause. and then the round of melody
went on again.
"Lusmore listened attentively, scarce.
ly drawing his breath lest he should
lose the slightest note. He now plain
| " perceived that the singing was with
| in the moa,, and though at first it had
charmed him so much, he began te
get tired of hearing the same round
sunp over and over so often without
any change; so availing himself OF the
pause when the Da Luan, Da Mort, had
| been sung three times, he took up tht
tune and raised it with the. words au
rus Dn Cadine, and then went on sing

sThe fairies within Knockgrafton
for the song was fairy melody, wher
thew heard this addition to their tune
were so much delighted, that with in
slant resolve it was determined to bring
the mortal among them, whose must
cal skill so far exceeded theirs, and lit

company with the eddying speed OF Z

GLORIOUS to behold was the sigh
that burst upon him as he came dowr

CONVERSATION.

Conversation should be the result OF
education not the precursor Of it. 1t is
a golden fruit, when suffered to grow
gradually on the tree Of knowledge, but
if precipitated by forced and unnatural
means, it will in the end, become vap.
id in proportion as it is artificial.
There is a Spanish adage. Glove
without end hath no end" meaning,
that if it were begun not upon partieu.
lar ends, it would last.

sENSIBILTTY.

From our feelings we derive all our
pains and all our pleasures. In LIES
journey without sensihility we should
be the most wretched of all created be-
ings. The eye that cannot glisten at
the tale Of distress, and weep, feclingly
weep, for suffering humanity, has a
heart incased in marble, and feelings
that would disgrace stole.

RELICS OF RICHARD THE THIRD.

The Inn in which he slept at Lei
cester, the night before the battle OF
Bosworth, was Gin 1929 a wool ware
house.
The oak bedstead which he brought
with him is now in possession OF Mr..
Darlington, at Ruthly Temple; II ispon.
tlerous, and without being suspected
was filled with pieces Of goli. One
hundred and twenty years afterwards a
s,rvan, at the Inn sweeping under it
struck the bottom and some gold coin
fell out, she mentiond the circumstan-
ces 10 the MISTRESS, and some thou
sand pieces were found in the bottom,
the head and the hollow pillars; the
mistress in consequence became so
rich that two Of her servants murdered
her in the night land carried offthe gold
but being pursued were taken and exc
cuted. The stone coffin in which Rich.
ard was buried was taken up about q
century ago and converted into horse
trough at the White Horse lnn, and
its broken relics were preserved by'
Mr.. Phillips, bookseller at Leicester,
till they were destroyed by an aeciden-
tai fire in 1895.

he would forgive him his deht:-The
Vintner asked him what God was best
pleased with; what the devil was best
pleased with; what'the world was best
pleased with; and what he was best
pleased with. Ben, withou! the least
hesitation, gave the following reply;
which, as an impromptu, deserves no
small share Of praise:
"God is best pleased, when men forsake their
SIN; Therein;
The Devils best pleased when they persist
The Worlds best pleas'd, when thou dost sell
