slight injuries. Several others rece'v-

were no lives lost. Had the bridge
fell one minute before, it would have
preoipitated the President and his
horse into the river. Then on passing
through the dense population up
Broadway, a number Of horses be-
came frightened by the music, and
we're very near throwing him from his

standing on the upper deck of the
steamboat, the wad Of field piece

Nature has so contrived the human
chest that fhnro Ia NJ. sunorf1no,lS nlax

/
chest that there is no superf1uous play
Of the parts composing it. Its move
ments are just sufficient to give sucI
expansion to the lungs and such an ex
tent Of oxygenation Of the blood as ar.
adequate to the wants Of the individu
al, under different occurrences. Ii
females, the chest is shorter than il
males; and to compensate for this, the
motion Of the ribs is naturally more
extensive and more frequent. What
ever limits this motion is therefore pc
cuh- y injurious to the sex; especially
as they are more disposed to consump
ton and other chrome affections of the
lungs.-Now the ligatures in the fash
ionable dress are placed precisely on
that part, where the motion should be
the greatest; that is, the lower part.
1t is precisely here, that, in case oil
fracture Of the ribs, when we wish to
stop the movements of the chest, we
apply tight bandage though rarely
do We venture to make it 50 tight as
the ordinary corsets. The effect OF
such "a pressure, begun at an early peri.
cd Of life, will be understood from
what has been stated in regarl to the
spine. The bones must yield to it;
their shape becomes permanently al
tered; the lower part Of the breast
contracted; the space destined b, ma
ture for the heart and lungs diminish
ed; and what the fatal results Of all
this on these tender and vital organs
are, every days experience shows US.
The influence on the health, though
slow, is certain. 1t may not at once
produce consumption; but it lays the
foundation for ills that it would pain
you to hear me to descrlbe.-I will on
ly say by way ofspeci6cation1 that a.
mong other diseases Of which this is the
fruitful germ, have known three in
stances Of perpetual head ache, at last
bringing on instantly and terminating
in death. The immediate cause ofthe
disease was the compression of the
heart and great blood vessels, and the
consequent accumulation of blood in
the head.
As young ladies are disposed to this
practice probably by fancies commune
lated by their companions, those who
have charge Of them, should not only
prohibit these applications, they should
for themselves, observe, whether any
thing is wrong; and after the young
ladies' have reachad the aUe vUhen
dress is considered the primary object.
they should resolu,ely oppose every
encroachment on the rights of the vita!
organs beyond what is required by a
decent attention to the rrejudices OF
the day. DR.. Waren.

MACHINEay-In illustrating the !.


use ofmathincry in converting appar-
emily useless and worthless substance
into valuable products, Mr.. Bahbage
refers to the skins used by the gold
bearer, and to the production OF the
prussiatc of potash from the hoos, oil
horses and cattle, and other horny re,
fuse. 1t is singular, however, that
he should not have referred, either II
this or in any other part Of his work,
to the manufacture Of paper. Consi-
dering, indeed, the maay importan.
purposes to which paper IS applied, its
extraordinary cheapness. and the fact
that without it the invcStion Of print
ing would have been unknown, or of
comparatively little value, it may be
classed amongst the most useful Of all
the products to which human ingcn-
uity has given birth. The interest
attacked TO its manufacture Is greatly
increased from the Knowledge that 1T
, is formed OF the most worthless mater
ials. The inventor OF the process for
converting rags into paper, conferred
an incomparably greater benefit on
society. than if he had realized the IA
bic Of Midas, and transmitted them In
to gold. 1t was also particularly de-
serving Of Mr.. Babbage's attention.
from he circumstance Of very great
Improvements having been recently
n, ,de in the manufacture.
About the year 1900, Mr.. Didot
imported from France the model of :,
machine for the manufacture Of pa-
per, which was improved by the me-
chanical sill of English artists. aud
and brought into an effective state n
boat 1903. This machine, by super
seding hard labor in the conversion Of
pulp Into paper, has been very gener-
ally adopted, and has materially pro-
ture which has recently taken place.
One Of the most ingenious Of our prac-
tea! mechanists, has constructed an
other machine, which performs the
operation by different method; con
Ivering stream of fluid pulp into Il
web of dry paper, completely finished
and ready for the press, within a dis
lance oil ABOUT twenty-SeFen feet, and
in about three minutes time! The ma
chinery by which this all but miracu-
lous result is effected, is so ingeniousiy
contrived and admirably adjusted, that
the continuous sheet of paper. which
ia its first stage appears like a wet cob
web, hardly capable of cohesion, is
drawn forward over various rollers
from one stage of the process to an
other, at the rate ofthirty feet per min
ute. We are not aware that much
difference has taken place for long
period in the machinery for converting
rags into pulp; but the present pro-
cess. which is different from the origin
al me t'1od Of beating out the rags, has
this drawback on its economy and des-
patch, that it breaks the fibre, and rem
ders the paper less tena eious and
durable.

MISS SARAH MARIA CORNELL,

The story OF this unhappy and de-
luded girl, was full Of sad and disas-
trous interest; and all who may now
lament her sad fate, will have to re-
collect that whether she fell by the
hands Of the Rev. Ephra,m X. Avery,
or committed suicide, she was the vol
untary author Of the disasters that
marked her pilgrimage in this world
of sorrow. She is dead, unhappy and
most wrctched girl, and whilst she
slumbers in the tomb, let the record
Of her guilt be erased from the memo
~ of man. In bidding adieu TO the
world, well mlght she exclaisn, in the
emphatic language of one of Smollett's
heroes,
"Wl thou y Mona, shed one gracious tear
On the cold grave where all my Sorrows
rest,
Strew vernal fowers-applaud my love
sincere,
And bid the turf lie easy on my breast.o
The narrative ofthe unhappy girl,
will undoubtedly blend some strong
points OF Interest with its sadness, and
as ANY ,hing relating to it will be read
with asidity, we give a sketch Of it,
copied from the New England Hart
ford Review.
''Sarah Maria Cornell was the
daughter and younges: child of James
and Lucretla Cornell, Of Providence,
Il. J. and was born about the year
1913. Her mother was the daughter
lof a respected and wealthy gentleman
OF the city Of Norwich. The early
history Of her father is unknown: but
at the time of his marriage, he was in
the employ of her father, as Journey
man paper-maker, and the marriage
was Clandestinely solemnized without
the consent and probably the knowL
edge of the lady's parents. The oppo-
sition OF the gentleman to the marri-
age of bis daughter to Mr.. Cornell,
was considered by him, as justiica-
for excluding her from his bounty.
After the marriage, MIR. Cornell NOV
cd his wife into the western country.
