DEATH NOTA PAINFUL PROCESS.

DEATH NOT A PAINFUL PROCESS.
We think that most persons have been led
TO regret dying as much more painful
change than il generally is; first, because
they have found, by what they experienced
in themselves and observed in others, thai
sentient beings often struggle when in dis
hess; hence struggling TO them is a sign, an
invarable sign, of distress. Muscular ac-
lion and C ,nsciousness are IwSdistiuc, things
often existing separately; and we have album
dant reason 10 believe that in a great proper
ton of cases those struggles OF dying man
which are so distressing 10 behold, are as
entirely independent of consciousness as
the struggles of a recently decapiiaied fowl.
A second reason why men are led toregard
dying as a very painful change is because
men often endure great pain without dying,
and, forgetting that like causes produce like
effects only under similar circumstances,
they infer that life cannot be destroy ed with
out still greater pain. Bat the pains oil
death are much less than most persons have
been led to believe, and we doubt NOT lhal
many persons who live 10 the age of puber-
ty undergo tenfold more misery than they
would did they understlnd correct views
concerning the change. In all cases of dy-
ing the individual suffers no pain after the
sensiblity of his nervous system is destroy
ed, which is often without much and some
times without any previous pam. Those
who are struck dead by Stroke of lightning,
those who are decapilated with one blow OF
the axe, and those who are instantly destroy
ed by crush OF The BRAIN, experience no
pain al all in passing fIom state of life TO a
dead state. One moments expectation Of
being thus destroyed far exceeds in misery
The pain during The act. Those who faint
in having lille blood taken from The arm
or on any other occasion, have already en-
dured all the misery they ever would did
they not again revive. Those who die of fe-
vers and most other diseases suffer thei.
greatest pain, as a general thing, hours, or
even days, before they expire. The sensi-
bility Of The nervous system becomes gradu-
ally diminished; their pain becomes less
and less acute under the same existing cause
and, al the moment when their friends think
them in the greatest distress, they are more
at ease than they have been for many days
prcvious their disease as far as respects
their feelings, begins 10 acl upon them like
an opale. Indeed many are already dead
as il res poets themselves, when ignorant by
ISLANDERS are much The most to be piiie d, not
Tor The loss of their friend, but for their sym
pathizing anguish. Those diseases which
| destroy lie wiiSout Immediately affecting
the nervous system give rise 20 more pain
than those that do not affect the system 81,
as to impair its sensIbilily. The most pain
full deaths which human beings iuflict upon
each other are produced by rack and Tag
got. The halter is NOT SO cruel as either oil
these, but more savage thanthe axe. Hor-
ror and PAIN considered, it seems to me thai
should choose a narcotic to eiiher.-[ Chas

PERIPATETIc PHILosoPHY.-In walking the
streets, the man who thinks of the future,
looks upward, the man who thinks of the past,
downward. 1.-The looks straight before him, he
is occupied with the present, if he looks right
and left,h thinks poor man, of nothing. If he
cast frequent looks behind him, lay it down
as an infalible axiom, that he is thinking then
of his creditors. The man who walks leisure
ly, is rejecting, meditating, calculating. The
man who projects, moves rapidly; while he
who runs, is full of some anticipated success in
money, ambition or love.
