MUSCULAR SrRExGrH.-The power exerted by the
actions of the muscles in the human body is immense.
Borellus first demonstrated that the force exerted
within the human body greatly exceeds the weight to
be kmoved and that nature, In fact, employs an as
tonishing, we might almost say superfuous power to
move small weight. 1t has been calculated that the
deltoid muscle alone, when employed in supporting
weight OF fifty pounds, exerts force equal to two
thousand four hundred and sixty-eiglIt pounds An
idea OF the force exerted by the human body in pro-
gressive motion, may be formed from the violence of
the shock received when the foot unexpectedly strikes
against an object in running. The strongest bones
are sometimes fractured by the action of the mus

The muscular power of the human body is indeed
wonderful. Turkish porter will trot along at a

accustomed himself TO carry the greatest burdens, and
by degrees became monster In strength. 1t is said

self seventh time, but no one had the courage or
boldness to enter the list against him. He was one
of the disciples Of PyhagoraS. and to his uncommon
strength the learned preceptor and his pupils owed
their lives. The pillar which supported the roof of
the school suddenly gave way, but Milo supported the
whole weight of the building and gave the philosopher
and his auditors time TO escape In his cd age Milo
attempted to pull up tree by the roots and break it.
He partly effected it, but his strength being gradually
exhausted, the tree when naf cleft reunited and his
hands remained pnched in the body Of il. He was
then alone, and being unable to disengege himself,

Force OF PERIODIC VIBRATIONS. --Many curious in
stances might be mentioned of the great effects pro-
duced by periodic vibrations One Of the most famil
lar. perhaps, is the well known result Of marching
company of soldiers a suspension bridge, when
the latter responsive to the measured step, begins 20
rise and fall with excessive violence, and if the march
ing be still continued, most probably separates in
parts More than one accident has occurred in this
way. and has led TO the order, we believe that sol
ders in passing these bridges, must not march, but
simply walk cut Of time. Another curious effect Of
vibration in destroying the cohei ion of bodies is the
rupture of drinking glasses by certain musical sounds
II is well known that most glass vessels of capacity
when struck resound with beautifully clear musical
note of invarable and definite pitch, which may be
called the peculiar note of the vessel. Now, if vie
olin or other musical instrument be made sound the
same note the vessel soon begins respond, is thrown
into vibrations is note grows louder, and eventually

pertinent the vessel should not be perfectly Gnne2led
However, the tendency to break is invariably the sans

The PHENOMENA OF THE BRAIN.-One Of the most
nconceivable things in the nature of the brain IS
that the organ of sensation should itself be nsensble
10 cut the brain gives pau yet in the brain alone
resides the power of feeling pain any other part of
the body If the which leads from the in
Jured part be divided we become ianty unconscious
of suffering. 1t is only by communication with the
brain that any kind of sensation produced yet the
organ itself is insensible. But there is circumstsne
more wonderful still. The brain itself may be re-
moved may be cut away down the corpus calositl,
without destroying life. The animal lives and per-
forms all those functions which are necessary to
pie vitality, but has no longer mind It cannot think
or feel; it requires that the food should be pushed
into the stomach there, it is dccsted and the
animal will even thrive and grow fat We infer,
therefore, that the part of the brain called the
utions is simply intended for the exercise of the in
tellect and faculties, whether of low degree called
instinct, or of that exalted kind bestowed man, tie

The Home of the Desoratc-EEear.cd.

The glory that reigned in those halls is past,
And the beauty that strangers courted,
And deep are the shadows that grief hath cast,
On The home of the Desolate-hearted
The odor of flowers is on the air,
But noisome weeds are mingled there;
The vines unframed on the earth repose;
The neitles o,ertop The bridal rose;
Tbe>clematis sinks from its wonted place,
And The lilly is crushed in its long embrace;
The glrlandS that hung on those walls of yore
With their beauty and bloom have departed
And the wrealhings of blossoms is known no more
In the home OF the Desolatehearted.
The dust is deep on the rich guitar,
That Weakened Of old its music ihsIeS
The binds sit sadly with folded wing;
The lutte lies by with brok en- string,
And the air-harp that hangs on the old elm bough
In a requiem wild is breathing now;
For the festive Sung and the joyous strain,
Ring not through those halls deserted;
And voices Of miTth will not wake again,
In the home of the DesOate-hearted.
The portraits hung on the galIery's side,
or that kindred land that long since died,
Are inward turned to the oaken wall,
For the gloomy memories they rscall;
And many landscape Of glowing hue,
BY a folded veil is hid from view;
For why should the gadness of happier days,
Whose light has for aye departed.
Be ever outspread to the weary gaze,
In the home Of the Desolate-hearted
A palor comes over the maiden's bloom,
As she crosseth the door of the lonely home,
And children moved with a soitCnCd tread,
And voices hushed To tone of dead;
Aud mITih sinks back from is wouied flow,
When the eye looks up on the brow Of wo;
For the happy band that were gathered there,
At single stroke parted
And we ak more of the young and fair,
In the home Of the Desolate-hearted.

And she was wondious fairs

When all is sweet and STILL

Crept softly o'eE the hill.

Like the singing Of joyous bird,
When the summer months aIe near.

So f5iTy-like and wild,
Ny mother thought spirit sung,
And not the gentle child.
But when we he9Jd the little feet
Come dancing 10 the door,
And met the gaze Of brighter eyes
Than ever spirit wore.
And she would enter full OF glee,
Her long fair tTesses bound
With garland of the simple flowers,
BY mountain suesmiets found.
She never bore the gardens pride,
The rose, upon her breast,
Our own sweet wild flower ever loved
The other wild flowers best.
Like them she seemed to cause no toll,
To give no pain care,
But to baSk and bloom on lonely spot
In the VAIN and sunny air.
And Oh like them as they come in sprinr,
And with summers fate decay,
She passed with the suns last parting smile
From lies rough path away.
And when she died-'neath an old oak tree
My sisters grave was made;
For, when on earth, she used TO love
Its dark and pensive shade.
Aud every spring, in that old tree
The ng-biIds build their nests,
And wild flowers bloom The soft green turf,
Where my dead sister rests.
And the children Of our village say,
That on my sisters tomb
The wild flowers are the last that fade,
And the first that ever bloom.
There is no stone raised there to tel
My sisters name and age
For that dear name on every heart
Is carved on memory's page.
We miss her in the hour Of Joy,
For when all heats are light,
There was no step so gay as hers,
No eye so glad and bright
We miss Der in the hour Of woe,
For then she tried to cheer,
And the soothing words Of the pious child
Could dry the mourner'S tear.
Even when she erred we could not chide,
For though the fault was small,
She always mouEned so much, and sued
For paIdon from US all.
She was too pure for earthly love
Strength TO our hearts was given, .
And we yielded her in her childhood's light,
To brighter home in heaven.
