ner Of eight years Of age. promising that

GThe trGpper. child Of eight years of
age, awakened by his mother at halfpast
two, Al. M, puts on his clothes by the ev-
er-blazing FIRE of GOLFERS cottage, fills
his tin bottle with coffee, and starts, with a
lump Of bread, for the pit; he is let down
the shaft; walking in the bowels of the
earth for more than a mile along the
horseway, he reaches the barrow-way,
used by the young men and boys who
push their trans with the tubes on the
rails to the fats, debateable land, where
the horse and barrow.ways meet, and
where the Goals are transferred 10 the roll
ley,' or horsecarriage, to be ultimately
delivered at the shat: by means of the quad
ruped, instead of the biped who had hith-
erlo brought them from the newer. The
child takes his place on one ofthe barrow
ways. in small hole scoo2ed out for him,
of the size of a chimney nook; his duty
| is to sit BY the side Of the door or trap,
which closes the way, and to open il the
moment he hears the putter running up
his tub; for twelve hours he squats down
with the door.string in his hand, withou,
light and without daring to move from
the spot. He sits solitary, and has nc
one TO talk to him for in the pit, tho

busy as in sea-6ght.' His father may
have given him. for the first week or two
a candle, but the boys daily wages, otter

10 his coffee bottle and bread, but SHOULD
he fall asleep, a smart cut with the yarn
wand from deputy overman, never fail

there, moistened by an exudation from the |
membranes. All way downlh the spine,
this medulla, or spinal marrow, is giving
off nerves to different parts of the body.
There is a notch in each veftebra, and
when they are put together, two notches
coming together forms hole; through
these holes lwentyfour nerves are given
off on each side Of the spine. Between
every two bones Of he spine cushion Of
a firm, elastic substance is interposed. Il
/ is called merveuebrals substance. and
somewhat resembles India rubber. This
substance is powerfully elastic, for though
il yields easily to whichever side we in.
cline, il returns tc its place again in mo-
ment
This elasticity is of very great impor-
lance il enables US TO perform all our
bendings and turnings, and in leaps,
shocks and falls, its elasticity prevents
harm to the spine. During the day,,hese
elastic cushions yield by continual pres
sure, so that we are little shorter al nigh,
than in the morning. And in old age
| people are shorter than in youth, and the
aged spine is also bent forward by the
yielding of the intervertebral cushions
/ Any undue inclination to either side will
cause distortion of the spine from the
yielding of this elastic substance on one
side, whilst it rises on the other. At las
the same change happens to the bones
and the distortion becomes fixed, and no
to be changed. aa rss .
