The following fact confirms these remarks:
In the year 1850, Henry and Emily, newly
married pair, and the children of wealthy parents in
Boston, left their paterna abode, determined to eff

Mass. Emily had been brought up in the midst of

presented the appearance of neatness and comfort;
and except being sometimes startled from the

bounded on all sides by forests except in one drec-

DISSECTION OF BROKEN HEART.

DISSECTION OF A BROKEN HEART.
short time since, young lady who was pos
sessed of every virtue that coners dignity and lus-
ire on the female character, died. She had long
pinned under the tortures inflicted by that faithful
servant of death, the consumption; and mental de-
lection seemed to have produced bodily malady
1t was concluded to dissect her heart, in order to
discover whether it could afford any clue to the
mystery which was connected with erillness. Ac
cordingly, "sbilful professor of Anatomy" was
engaged to perform the operation, and it was soon
discovered that she died of that incurable disease
A BROKEN HEART. The heart was very arid its
juices were dried up by long grief. Although they
thus perceived what had been her disease, they
feared that the cause of it must ever remain secret
to them However they concluded to inspect the
of the heart and, narrowly nvestigatingit,
they saw the likeness of a young man, who seemed
formed for the purpose offscinatng the tender SEX
but in his eye could be discerned a certain express
sion which told Of perfidy and dark deceit. With
the aid of microscope, the following lines
found punctured on the heart over them was in

And smil'd in Joy at what he'd done

For him alone, Wish'd to live;
His image flrd my inmost core
More constant heart where could he find
Could he on earth truer meet
Oh no-and yet with soul uni1ind
For all my love he gave deceit
Oh when he gain'd this heart a vow
OF love was given-'twas softly spoken
1t then was gay-what is it now
heart which bhghted love has broken
Yet, oh my Henry, though my breast

Though cold in earth soon shall rest

From this it was too plainly seen what had caused
her death and the by-standers more than ever
convinced, that though few, very few, faithless
women, possessing coquette's hearts, may exist,
is, in general, kind and affectonate being,

of her love is unworthy of it; and the physician

lbiIthright. I. may sound like lrite defamation
here is too, but in France it seems even the be
rails have not got so far; that the value OF liberty
consists not in the results, but in results as effected
by the means. We do not want to be bayonetted
into comfort. At the Theatre FRANCOIS, the i'm.
mense throng of persons crowdng for tickets is
marshaled BY the Gendarmerie into regular cue
which reaches quarter OF mile. This example
is fair test of principle. This arrangement Is
convenient, it is equitable, it is comfortable. But
we presume the people of England, we are sure
the people of America would, if necessary, expend
the last drop Of their blood, rather than have this
comfort forced upon them; although if it could In
cidentay be brought about, or certainly it their
own General Court or Congress. after thorough
discussion, adopted the measure, it would go very
quietly into operation. When Madame de Stael,
combining the sagacty Of statesman, with the
dex,e,ty of courtier, and the grace of French
woman, told Alexander that his character was
constitution to his people, the Emperor replied, and
a more sensible reply was never made, that II Y
were so he was only happy accident to his people.
This reply comprehends the whole theory OF the
vicious effects of despotic government; that is, oil
la government not springing from the people and
directly reverting TO them. In Turkey, In China,
in Russia, the disguise may be little thinner; in
Prussia, IN France a little more studously worn

means of improvement by sufferance, and as
gilt, is the same in all and this principle is fatal
