ments have been made in France on ducks
and chickens, by M. Flourens; from which
he draws the following conclusions first,
the cold exercises constant and decided
action on the lungs Of animals; secondly,
that the effect of that action is more rapid
and serious, in proportion to the you'll, of
the animal; thirdly, that when cold does
not produce an acute pulmonary infamma-
ton, speedily mortal, itproduces chronic
Inflammation, which is in fact pulmonary
consumption; fourlhiy, that heat constantly
prevents the inroad ofpulmonary consump-
ton, that when it has actually commenced,
heat suspends its progress, and that some-
times heat even leads to perfect cure
filthy, that to whatever height it may have
arrived, this malady is never contagious.
Sleep and DeUth.--What il it should be
found, as the infidel cannot deny it may be,
that death suspends not existence, so much
as enc nights sleep? At the close Of each
day, we see the powers Of man PROSTATE.
Weakness and lassitude come over all the
frame. A torpor elsewhere unknown to
the history Of animal nature spreads |
through all the faculties. The eyes close,
the ears become deaf to hearing, the pal
ate to taste, the skin to touch, the nostrils
to smell, all the faculties are locked in en-
tire insensibility, alike strangers to the |
charms Of music, the tones Of friendship,
the beauties of creation, the luxury of the}
banquet, and the voice of revelry. The
last indication Of mind to appearance ISL
gone, or the indications Of existence are
far feebler than when we see man die in
the full exertion Of his mental powers,
sympathizing in feelings Of friendship, and
cheered by the hopes Of religion. Yet God
passes his hand over the frame when we
sleep, and, instinct with life, again we rise

reaps the rewards of it to-day, in the re-
spect and confidence Of mankind and in
the peace Of an approving conscience, and
the smiles Of God. The man of intem-

rags the body Of him who was idle yester-
