Sudden Effects of the Mind upon the Body
Plato Used say that all the diseases of the body
proceeded from the soul. Says Mr.. Weld in his
famous report: The expression fthe countenance
is mind invisible. Bad news weakens the action
Of the heart destroys the appetite, Expresses the
lungs, stops digestion, and partially suspends all
the functions of the system. An emotion of shame
lushes tho face, fear blanches it, Joy eliminates
it, an instant thrill clectrfes millions of nerves.
Surprise spurs the pulse into gallop. Delirium
inluses giant energy; voition commands, and
hundreds OF muscles spring to execute. Powerful
emotion often kills the body at single stroke
The news Of a defeat killed Philip V. One of the
Popes died OF an emotion on seeing his pet mon
key robed in pontifcals and occupying the chair
Iof State. Muley Moloch was carried upon the
field Of battle, in the last stages of an ncurable
disease-upon seeing his army give way, he
leaped from the litter, rallied his panc-strickenI
troops, rolled back the tide of battle, shouted VIC
tory, and died. The door-kccpcr of Congress-
OF The United States expired upon hearing of the
surrender ofCornwas. Eminent public speak
ers have often died either in the midst of IN i'm,
passloned burst of eloquence, or when the deem
emotion 10 produce it had suddenly subsided.-
The recent case Of Hills, in this city, is fresh in
memory Of all. He was apprehended on the
charge 81 stealing goods from his employer, and
taken before the police, and though in pei feet
health mental agony forced the blood from his
nosrlls--he was carried out and died.--N Y. |

Some ingenious gentleman has, we learn
from Boston paper, invented machine for dis
engaging the bones from shad after that excellent
fish is prepared for the table. We congratulate
him, and we still more warmly congratulate the
eating public A new era has arrived. Phadel-
pha has put her best foot forward if there be any
reality in this discovery, and he who has achieved
this long step in the march of modern improve
ment may be fairly put down as the great bene-
factor Of his race. The art of printing, the mari
ner's compass. and the application of the steam
engine to the purposes of loconlotion on the land
and on the water, are pretty conrivances in their
way, but we beg no body TO mention them in the
same day with the discoverer Of this most in,por-
tant of human desderati. TO eat shad without
the incumbrance of bones, is, we take il, a luxury
that no Roman emperor ever dreamed Of The in
ventor ought to have monument Of alewves
built five hundred feet high to his honor.-Nem

"A JfoSt Humorous Circu1aafance--Y ester

A person Of lawess habits and reckless charac-

Potomac in 4 canoe, and descend the creeks 10

from observation One day hearing the dis
charge Of musket, Washington mounted his
horse, and rode in the direction ofthe sound. The
intruder discovered his approach, and had just
time 10 gain the canoe and push it from the
shore, when Washington emerged from the BUSH
es, at distance Of a few yards. The man raised
his gun, cooked it, pointed it at him, and took
deliberate aim; but, without moments hesta-

1 Interesting E1peFiment.--Ihe following me-
thod OF obtaining natural flowers in winter, any
day You please, VIC copy from an old scientific
work
Choose some Of the most perfect buds of the
flowers you would preserve such as are latest in
blowing, and ready to open; cut them off with
pair Of scissors, leaving TO each, if possible, a
piece Of the stem about three inches long; cover
The end of the stem Immediately with Spanish
wax, and when the buds are a little shrunk and
Iwrinkled. wrap each Of them up separately in a
piece Of paper perfectly clean and dry, md lock
lholn up in dry box or drawer, and they will
Keep without corrnpting.
In winter, or any other time, when You would
have the flowers blow, take the buds overnight,
and cut OF the end Of The stem sealed with Spa
nish wax, and put the buds into water wherein
idle ni.re or salt has been infused, and the next
lay yon will have the pleasure Of seeing the buds
open and expand themselves, and the flowers dis
play their most lively colors, aud breathe their
| agreeable odors.
