COINCIDENCE BETWEEN THE PULsATIoN
OF THE HUMAN BODY AND THE HOUR OF THE
DAy.-The following is from the London
Sun. You will oblige constant reader,
and one who has made the experiment. by
giving it place in your paper -
Seat yourself at table, having placed
your elbow on the table, attach a piece Of
metal (say a shilling) to thread, hold the
thread between the points of the thumb
and first finger, and allow the shilling to
hang in the centre of tumber glass; the
pulse will Immediately cause the shilling
TO vibrate like pendulum, and the vibra-
ton will increase, until the shilling strike
the side of the glass; and suppose the time
of the experiment be that hour at which
am writing, between half past six and half
past seven O'Clock, it will so strike the
glass seven times, and having done so, lose
its momentum and return 10 the centre.
If you hold it a sufficient length Of time
the experiment will be repeated but not
until sufficient space of time has elapsed
to convince you it is most complete. |
need not say the thread must be held with
steady hand; otherwise the vibrating
motion will be counteracted.
At whatever hour Of the day or night
the experiment be made, the coincidence
will be found the same.

A Hint touching lore Lctters-The
French have completely, of late, excelled
themselves in the extreme beauty of their
note paper, and the tender and appropriate
notices by which it is embelIshed; but
there is a description Of paper of which,
believe, they know the secret, which think
far more desirable Tor love letters than the
most exquisite Of their brightly sheets,
embelished with laced borders or printed
wreathes. A gentleman Of distinction, IN
France, once received q letter, warning
hun OF some injuries intended towards him
and his family; he placed it in his writin g
desk; and the day after, wished to recur to
it,when to his great establishment, he found
it crumbled to atoms. The paper had been
stepped in some chemical preparation, that
IN few hours had corroded and Destroy
ed it. Now, if love letters were always
written on this paper, how much time would
be saved for young ladies must perforce
compress their studies Of these precious
productions into very short space Of time.
How many regulations would be saved! for
destroyed letters, like dead men can tell
no tales. How many lawyers fees would
be saved! for the most skiIlul counselIors
could not torture heap of ashes into
what they call documents" How much
patience would be saved for although it
is very delightful to read love letters adj
dressed to ones self, it is painful effort
Of friendship to be obliged to listen to those
addressed to other people. How unne-
cessary, too, would be the postscript,which
is never attended to: "Burn this as soon
as YOU have read it," The "chemlst's
magic art'' would make the request equal
to a command sure to be obeyed.-Metro-

TU for Idt.-A certain little Army
Surgeon, who was stationed at Ban galore,
had selected very pretty little girl out Of
an invoice of ladies, who had been freight
ed out on speculation. She was very fond
Of gaety and amusement, and after her
marriage appeared to be much fonder in
passing away the night at ball than
in the arms OF her little doctor. Never
theless, although she kept late hours, in
every other respect she was correct. The
doctor, who was quiet sober man, and
careful of his health, preferred going to
bed early and rising before the sun, to in
hale the cool breeze of the morning. And
as the lady seldom came home till past mid
night, he was not very well pleased at be-
ing disturbed by her late hours. At last
his patience was wearied out; and he told
her plainly that if she staid out later than
II O'Clock, he was resolved not to give her
admittance. At this, his young wife, like
all other pretty women, imagining that he
never would presume TO do any such thing,
laughed heartily land from the ball to which
she was invited Gid not return until half
past two in the morning. AS soon as she
arrived, the palanquin bearers knocked for
admlttance but the doctor, true to his
word, put his head out Of the window, land
very calamity told his wife that she might
stay all night. The lady coaxed, entrea-
ted, expostulated, and threatened but it
was all IN vain. At last she screamed and
appeared TO be frantic, declaring that, if
not Immediately admitted, she would throw
herself into the well, which was in the
compound, not fifty yards from the bunga-
low. The doctor begged that she would
do so, II that gave her any pleasure and
then retired from the window His wife
