ments is not confined to single country or
continent. In England il ranks among its
advocates, Lord Brougham and Charles
Dickens, men who have attained the zenith
of literary eminence. On the Continent of
Europe, it is supported by the celebrated
natural philosopher and astronomer, Arago
Professor Orfla, Dean of the Medical Fac
ulty at the University of Paris DR. Lordat,
who holds the same station at the UNIVERSE
ty Of Montpelier, all of whom have satisfied
themselves of its truth by experiments of
their own. Among the books on the sub
ject, lately published in France is colec-
ton of "proces verbaux," or statements of
facts, attested by number of scientific men
of the Academy of Medicine, and the French
Institute. When a theory is supported BY
such men as these, it is the part of modesty
at least for those who cannot believe, to
keep silence, instead of applying to it the
epthets of "farcical humbug," "nonsensical
MANIA" "vulgar wtchcrah," "nefarious and
ridiculous folly" and to its advocates those
of "vagabond characters" Spectators in
human credulity," &c. &c, which are so
literally bestowed by one who doubtless
speaks evil of that which he does not un-
derstand" 1t is not impossible that he and
the community in which he resides have
been imposed upon by pretender, but that
is by no means sufficient Justification for
the sweeping TRADE with which he attempts
TO demolish the whole system. 1t has been
the fate OF all sciences to suffer by the clum-
sy hands of unskilful pretenders, but it is
not logical to argue from the unskiIfulness
of an individual the falsehood of his theo-
ry The garb of piety is often used to cloak
the designs of an unprincpled hypocrite,
and quackery has slain as many thousands
as enlightened medical practice has saved :;
but no one pretends to infer from this that
there is no truth in religion, or no such thing
as rational science of medicine. Let us
not then Judge of this by rules different from
those which we would apply in other cases
But as 1t comes to us pretending to be based
upon facts, let us impartially examine into
the truth OF those facts and if we find them
well authenticated, Gas think will be the
case, let us admit them even though they
are apparently incapable of explanation
In the age of inventions and discoveries we
should be surprised at nothing, but should
keep our minds open to conviction upon all
subjects, and above all things should decide
upon no point without examining the argu-
ments and evidence upon both sides.

THE SUMMERS GONE.

The summers gone--snd every flower
That waved It's beauties to the sun,
Has bloomed it's brief, but lovely hour,
Aud shed its fragrance, and is gone.
The summers gone-and many n hope
That budded with the early spring,
Has seen its blossoms brightly ope
To wither like blighted thing
The summers gone--and many an eye
That brightly shone, in tears are shrouded
And hearts that loved US, wnhered lie,
Or worse than this, by coldness clouded.
The summers gone, but soon again,
Shall blush aud breathe upon the air,
The enamored flower, and paint the glen,
But those love will not be there.

A DARING VILLAIN-On Sunday night
bold villain entered the dwelling of Mr.
Thomas Rutter, situated in Hanover, near
Lee street, and made his way into a room
in which son OF Mr. Rutter slept. In the
room was kept an unloaded gun. The ras-
cal loaded the piece, and so placed it, primed
and cooked, on the mantel piece, that by the
slightest touch the charge could be lodged
in the head of the sleeper, if he should a.
wake. Thus prepared, the robber proceed
ed TO his work of piiering, and collected a
considerable amount of clothing. In the
meantime the son awakes and inquiries, is
that you, father ? to which question the
robber said Yes Are you sick 2 Yes.
Shall | go for a doctorl No | am 60
ing out, and think | will be better in few
minutes The villain left the room then
with the booty, and the son was again soon
in the land Of dreams In the morning his
father walked him, and found the gun in the
position described, and the room wanting in
many valuable articles. The conversation
which had passed brought to recollection,
and all were overjoyed in the singular pre-
servation from the intended murder of the
burglar, if the contingency should have
called for such an act.-Bahimore Sun.

SINGULAR EFFECTS OF NOTIFICATION
We understand that DR.. Whitney, of New
ton, Upper Falls, was called upon short
time since, together with student in his
office, to make post-mortem examination
of woman who had died in a neighboring
town. Modification had set in before the
subject died, and in the examination the
mortified parts, it is supposed, came in con-
tact with a small scratch on the hand of
both the operators. Both DIR. W. and his
student were soon taken sick, under the
circumstances which left no boubt that they
had imbibed poison from the dead body
during the post norton examination. The
student died in few days, but Dr. w. al
though fears were entertained at one time
for his life also, has become convalescent.
