THE HEART.


II is q curious fact now generally agreed
upon by physiological authorities, that this
delicate organ, long since by universal po-
etical practice made tho source and centre
of the affections, is actually insensible to
the touch. The celebrated Harvey had an
illustration Of this truth. under his profess
sional inspection, which quite rivals the
Canadian case under Beaumont's. II hap
pened that a youth Of the noble family Of
Montgomerie, had his interior exposed in
an extravagant manner, in consequence Of
an abscess in the side Of the chest, which
was caused by a fall. The youth Was in
trodnced to the presence Of Charles l., and
Harvey, putting one hand through the APP
crture, grasped the heart, and SO held il
for some time without the young man being
at all conscious that any new object vas in
contact with il. The insensibiliiy of the
organ to disturbance il was never in.en-
ded TO encounter. is insxplicable by physi-
illogical principles, and is not less remark

many Roman Catholics have been induced to
change their religion by the a1lurements of a
Scholarship. The fishers of mem ought not
to use such base bats as these. One of his chief
objections to the present system was, that It
created in the University means OF despicabie
and most degrading proselytism, which instead
of raising the interests the Church, corrupted
the morals of the College, So unworthy
temptation ought not to be held out.

which you put his mind. He leaves his home

he shrinks at first from the desertion of his
creed; although weaned little by three years
of College life from its exercises, and not dedi-
Gated to devotion, still the recollection OF that
form of prayer in which he was instructed by
maternal fondness and the memory OF ms
home associated with his early plety, come up
on him. But he sees in scholarship the means
of present competence and avenues to future
independence. He hesitates-e nconlpassed by
men who scott at other creeds besides his own,
and whisper in his ear what it is needless to re-
peat, he begins at last to think that his scruples
are but folly and his principles but prejudice,

HAS your Church gained anything b. such
neophyte in Professionalism as this? Have you
while you pluck up the religion of his heart by
the roots, cast the seeds ofyour legal orthodoxy
in his mind? You have made an apostle, and
do but profane the steps of your affairs with
his false and mercenary genuhection. Away
with system of Proselytism like this. Away
with this propaganda, not Of Professionalism, but
of scepticsm, for, rest assured, thatin seducing
Roman Catholic, by mercenary motives from
his religion, you do but teach him to derde and
scott at your own. The House-the Govern
ment-will be little disposed to maintain, that
the interests of the Church are advanced by
such eXpedients. He should call on the Gov
eminent to act in conformity with the principles
laid down when the Education Commission was
established
'The Government had closed the spirit of
proselytism from the inferior departments of
education, and from the only national establish
ment connected with literature and science it
ought to be contumeliously driven. There
were eight millionsof people in Ireland. 1t is
not from five or six hundred thousand that
supply of genius should be drawn. Search for
it wherever it can be found. Let the career of
