Music at a Death Red.

Oh. sing 10 me, swee, sister, sing
The song loved to hear,
Aud when I'm gone, oh! sing II still,
And think Pm lingering near.
On. le, me hear before leave
This world 70. yonder skies,
The trembling tones of thy rich voice,
On signing zephyrs rise.
on whilst we've watched the weary sun,
Behind the mountains hide,
Casting his soft, and parting light
On Susqushannah's tide.
And standing by our mothers side,
Orby our fathers knee,
That song has risen on the breszs;
Oh! sing il now for me.
In fancy then will rise the scenes
Ofmy loved childhood's home;
Again I'll pluck my favorite flowers,
And through my loved haunts roam.
The forms of those in childhood dear,
Before me l shall sac,
And present sorrow III be forgot;
Thea sing that song for me.
The deep ric', tones SO swee,ly rose
Upon the evening air;
They seemed to stay the hand Of death,
And angels fingered there.
The song now ceased--,hs vail Of gr'sI
Succeeded that sweet day;
For, with the loved and dying stains,
Her spirit passed away.

head the Egyptians placed at their
feasts to check exuberant gaity.
There is, then, your fashionable sim
perez, your Laughter a-la-naode, your
inward digester Of small jokes and IL
tle-tattle. He never laughs,-it is a
vulgar habit; the only wonder is, that
he eats. People, he will tell you,
should overcome these vulgar propen-
sites; they are abominable. A young
man Of this class is generally consump-
tive, his lungs have no play, he is al
always weak and narrow chested; he
vegetables till fifty, and then he goes
of, overcome with puff Of eau de
rose or mile Qeur, he has enceunter-
cred accidentally from hepocket-hand-
kerchief Of checse-monger's wife!
Last of all, there is your real, good,
honest laughter; the man who has a
heart to feel and sympathise with the
joys and sorrows of others: who has
gone through life superior to its follies,
and has learnt to gather wisdom even
from laughter. Such are the menwho
do honor to society, who have learnt
to be temperate in prosperity, patient
in adversely, and who, having gathered
experience from years, are content to
drink the cup of life mingled as it is,
to enjoy calmly the sweeter portion,
and laugh at the bitter.
There is strange affinity in our pas
sions. The heart will frequently re-
ply to the oldest intelligence by a
burst of the most unruly laughter. the
effigy of mirth. 1t seems as though
the passion, like rude torrent, were
too strong to pursue itsordinary course;
but, breaking forth from the narrow
channel that confined it, rushed forth
in one grand impetucus stream. It
is the voice Of anguish that has chosen
a different garb, and would cheat the
sympathies. But we have ourselves
been demonstrating the truth of our
last proposition; for we have been writ
ing on laughter till we have grown
sad. But says the old song!
"To-night we'll merry, merry be.
Tomorrow we'll sober be''
So sadness, after all, is but Joy de-
ferred.

Sir James Murry has turned the DIR

Sir James hurry has turned the dry
cupping principle to very ingenious
account. He presented an ingenious
continuance, something like the slipper
bath, which had an air pump for ex-
hausting the air applied TO it. The
patient was placed in it, and it was then
made air tight, leaving him breath
communication with the external at
mosphere. The air was then exhausted
from the interior, and atmospheric pres
sure removed from the surface Of the
body. About pound Of atmosphere
being exhausted, took off ton of at
mospheric pressure. The consequence
was, where the body was before cold
and collapsed, the vessels were imme-
diately filled up and rendered turgid,
while it did notat all interfere with the
process of respiration.
He exhibited another application Of
the same continuance Of long tin tube
made air tight, and with piece Of wet
bladder round one end, which was open;
at the other end, which was closed up,
smallexhausting air-pump was placed.
A patient with paralytic wrist put up
his arm into this, the wet bladder was
frightened around his arm at the top to
make it air tight, and the atmosphere
was then pumped out Of the tube by
the patient himself or any other person.
The atmospheric pressure being taken
of,the limb became turbid, the circula-
ton was increased, and the part affect
ed was soon cured.
There was another adaptation of the
same continuance to draw off the effect
Of congestion Of the brain. There was
another application to stop h@morrhage
in an injured hand limb, or other extre-
nifty. An exhausting pump was fixed
to the end Of a bladder, the limb put
into the bladder, and the neck then
tied round to make it air tight. The
air was then completely exhausted by
means of the pump, which compressed
the bladder so close to the skin as eff
fectualIy to stop even the pores Of the
skin. The same continuance Of blad-
der and exhausting pump was also ap-
piled for the cure Of liberated legs, by
preventing the evaporation Of the ul-
GERS, by exhausting the air, and ma
king the collapsed bladder adhere
tightly all round. There were several
other ingenious contrivances and APP
plications Of the same invention, the
exhibition ofwhich, and the inventors
happy humor, ELECTED loud applause.
A vote Of thanks was given to Sir
James Murry for the very valuable in
struction which he had conveyed.

A NEW TRAGEDY:
AT RIO JANr1Ro

ENACTED AT RIO JANCIRo.
A correspondent has favored US with
the following particulars Of tragic
scene, which has recently taken place
at Rio Janeiro, and which is now the
all engrossing topic of conversation in
the fashionable circles there.
A short time since marriage was
much talked OF in the upper circles Of
Rio Janeiro-that of Count Alphonzo
dc Zuniga, youth of twenty three,
with the Marchioness d 'Ossara, wild
ow who still retained some testiges of
departed beauty. The Warehouses
great affection for the Count was gen.
orally acknowledged, but it was not
less universally known that he sought
but to secure her large fortune, and all
his precautions had been unable to con-
ceal his violent attachment to Riccardi-
ma Soares, young and beautiful Por-
tuguese dancer, whom the enthusiastic
frequenters of the Brazilian Opera.
proclaimed match for the combined
accomplishments Of Taglioni and Fam
ny Elsler.
On the 18th ofJuly last new Opera,
in which Riccardina was TO dance the
Cachucha, attracted an Overlooking
house. Riccardina appeared, and was
received with tumultuous applause
The acclamations became louder till
when, on concluding the Cachucha she
advanced, striking her castanet towards
the ochestra. But at the moment she
saluted the admiring audience poor
Riccardina shricked and fell backwards.
She was carried off the stage in hor-
rible commissions and uttering fearful
shrieks, and the curtain dropped. The
report soon spread all over the house
that aquafortis had been cast upon her,
and that she was drcadfully burnt. The
whole house was transported with rage
& indignation. The instinct Of the
multitude Immediately pointed out the
Marchioness D'Ossara as the perpetra-
tor of the deed. She attended the per-
Torrance. The crowd rushed to her
box; it was deserted, but on the red
velvet that ornamented some part of
it, yellowish stains were detected, de-
noting the action Of corrosive liquid.
All doubt was now removed. The
infatuated spectators devastated the box.
The curtain rose; the manager came
forward and confirmed the fatal news.
"Senora Riccardina,'' said he, "is
in the most deplorable condition. Her
arms, her face, and her bosom are fear
fully burnt;it is to be feared that she
will be disfgured for life." The yell
became tremendous; deafening shouts
Of "Revenge!'' SHOWN with the
wretch!" Viva Ia Republican, we're
uttered from all quarters.
Inthe mean time, young man who
had precipitately left the theatre. en-
tered the Warehouses; house and was
soon in her presence.-Moved at his
sudden appearance, but striving to dis
semble her agitation; "Dear Aphonzo, !"
said she, !" to what circumstance am /
indebted for this happy visit?"- The
Count looked at her with fury, but
could not utter word. "You ore un.
