THE HUNAN HEARr.-..Tho mean
weigh, Of the hesrt in the adult, from the
95th to the 60th year, is, according to
Bouellaud, from eight TO nine ounces.
The dimensions are as follows: length
from base to apex, five inches six lines !;
breadth at the base three inches. When
the ear is applied to the chest, says DR..
Dunglison, a dull heightened sound is
heard, which is synonymous with the arte.
rial pulse: this is instantly succeeded by
a sharp quick sound, like that Of the valve
of bellows or the tapping Of a dog. There
is then period Of repose. Tho first
sound appears to be produced by the con-
traction Of the ventricle; the second by q
reflux of the blood agains, the semilunar
valve. These are what we call tho
sounds of the heart.

THE LONE INDIAN.
By MISS FRANCIS.

For many a returning au.
tumn, lone Indian was seen standing q,
the consecrated spot we have mentioned
but just thirty years after the death oil
Soonsetah, he was noticed for the last
| time. His step was .hen firm, and bis
figure erect, though he seemed old and
way.worn. Age had not dmmed the fire
OF his eye, but an expression OF deep mel.
ancholy had settled on his wrinkled brow.
Ii was Pswoutonamo-he who had once
been the Eagle of the Mohawk He
came TO lie down and die beneath the
broad oak which Swallowed the grave OF
Sunny Eye. Alas, the white man had
been there! The tree he had planted was
dead and the vine which had leaped so
vigorously from branch to branch, now
yellow and whitening, was falling to the
ground. A deep groan burst from the
soul of the savage. For thirty wearisome
years he had watched that oak, with It's
twining tendrils. They were the only
things left in the wide world for him to
love, and they were gone He looked
abroad. The hunting land Of his tribe
canoe shot down the river, like bird
upon the wing. The laden boat Of the
white man alone broke its smooth surface.
The Englishman's road wound like ser.
pent around the banks of the Mohawk );
and iron hoof had SO beaten down the war
path, that hawks eye could not Disco
er an Indian track. The last wig.wam
was destroyed and the sun looked bold
ly down upon spots he had visited only by
stealth during thousand and thousands of
moons. The few remaining trees, clothed
in the fantastic mourning Of autumn /; tho
long line of heavy clouds melting away
before the coming sun; and the distant
mountain, seen through the blue mist of
departing twilight, alone remained as he
had seen it in his boyhood. All things
spoke sad language to the heart Of the
desolate Indian. Yes" said he, "the
young oak and the vine are like the Ea-
gle and the Sunny Eve. They are cut
down, torn and trampled on. The leaves
are falling, and the clouds are scattered
like my people. wish | could once
more see the trees standing thick, MS they
did when my mother held me to her bo-
som, and sung the warllke deeds Of the
Mobawks."
A mingled expression Of grief and an.
ger passed over his face, as he watched a
loaded boat in its passage across the
stream. THE white man carries food
to his wife and children, and he finds them
in his home," said he, "Where is the
squaw and the papoose Of the red man
They are here! % AS he spoke, he fixed
his eye thoughtfully upon the grave. AZ
ter gloomy silence he again looked
round upon the fair scene, with wan.
dering and troubled gaze. "The pale face
may like it," murmured he; but an In
dian cannot die here in peace" So say
ing, he broke his bow string, snapped his
arrows, threw them on the burial place Of
his fathers, and departed forever.

ANCHORS. The ancien,s had wooden
anchors, even in the time of Archimedes,
for the largest ships. The great galley
of Hero had four wooden and eight iron
anchors. The wooden stock, or trans
verse beam, was wholly wanting in an.
cient anchors. In the ship, on board
which ST. Paul was prisoner, described
in the Acts,) the sailors dropped four
anchors from the stern, which, however,
opposed to modern usage, was undoubtcd-

MENTAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN
AND WOMEN

AND WOMEN.
The difference of mental power be.
tween the sexes, is, probably, just suffi.
cient to make them divide the duties Of life
benefcially. 1t may be good reason for
not exactiDg from omen the same mental
exertions as from men, but a very bad
one for no, fully cultivating the powers
that they have. There has been good
deal of fancilul theory upon this subject.
Sometimes it has been pretended the whole
difference between the minds Of the two
sexes was the consequence Of education,
at other times it has been commended that
though there was D natural difference it
was only dissimilarity the male being
just as deficient in some respects as the te-
male is in others, but that she ought not
on that account 10 be held inferior. -
Rousseau maintained that the mind Of man
was not to be distinguished by the sole
possession OF genius, of which the mind CT
woman was absolutely destitute in every
degree. Johnson thought there was ma.
tural want of precision in woman's ideas.
An eminent man, lately dead, tried the
capacities OF his daughters 10 ascertain
the fact, and came to the conclusion that
the minds OF both sexes were equal, ex.
cept in respect TO patience. Many other
fanciful views might be enumerated, were
it worth the trouble. The simple truth
seems to DO, that every faculty in the
minds of the two sexes is the same, except
that there is less general vigor in those oil
nj in
which men have excelled that woman
have not also succeeded well up to a GER.
tain point. But whenever the greatest
efforts are required, of judgment, imag-
nation, attention, perseverance or any
other power, the superior vigor of the
masculine mind becomes evident. Hence,
as the greater part of the business of life
does not require the utmost exertlon even
of ordinary ability, it is only in the more
arduous pursuits that the constitutional
superiority of the masculine mind appears
invariably. In low stages of civilization
it occasionally happens that the advan.
tage is observed to be on the side OF the
women, for any circumstances in their ha-
bits that impose upon them the necessity
of greater exercise of observation and
Judgment, turn the balance in their favor.
But in the complicated and laborious OFF,
ces of civilized societies, no education
would give general superiority or even
equality to the female sex; The demand
for laborious Investigations and the high
est powers of combination and invention is
too constant both in profession and science.
