Perfection of Nature.

Upon examining the edge of the sharpest razor
or lancet with microscope, it will appear fully as
broad as the back of a knfe-rough. uneven and
full of notches and furrows. An exceedingly
small needle resembles an iron bar; but the sting
of bee seen through the same instrument exhi-
bits every where the most beautiful polish, with
out the least flaw, blemish or inequality, and il
ends in point too fine to be discerned. The
threads of a fine lawn seem coarser than the yarn
with which ropes are made for anchors. But q
sikworm web appears perfectly smooth ano
shining. and every where equal The smallest dol
that is made with the pen appears irregular and
uneven But the little specks on the wings or bod
les of insects are found to be the most accurately
circular. How magnificent is the system of Ma
ttire

It is owing to the sympathetic communication
OF vibrations, says Herschel, that persons with
clear and powerful voice. have been able to break
large tumbler glass, by singing close to It's prop
er fundamental note We have heard OF case
where person broke no fewer than twelve large
glasses in succession. The sympathy OF slofa-
lions, or tendency of one vibrating body to throw
another into the very same state oil .viofa'ioh,
shows itself remarkable in the case OF the running
of two clocks fixed to the same shelf or wall. IL
was known near century ago, that two CLOCKS
set Going on the shelf will affect each other.
The pendulum of the one will stop that OF the oih-
er. and the pendulum of the clock which is stop
ped. after certain time will resume its vibrations
and. n its turn, stop that of the other clock. Mr.
John Ellicot, who first observed these effects, no.
ticed that two clocks which varied from each 9TH
or ninety six seconds day agreed, to second,
several days wsien they were placed on the same
rail. The lowest of these two clocks, which had
a slower pendulum set the other in motion IN SIX
teenminuies and half. These effects are clearly
produced by the small vibration communicated
from one pendulum to the other through the snelt
or rail or plank on which they both rest IL mas

Words of the COrpse-Watcher to his
COmrade.

Gone is each saddened face and fearful eye,
OF mother, brother, and of sisters fair
Like the low falling wind their footsteps die.
Through the whispering hall and up the rustling
In Wonder room the newly dead doth sleep,
Begin we now my friend, our watch to keep
And now both feed the fire and trim the lamp,
Pass cheerily, if we can, the slow paced hours
For all without is cold, and drear. aud damp
And the wide air with storm and darkness low
erS.
Pass cheerily, if we may, the livelong night,
Putting pale phantoms, paler sleep, to flight.
We will not talk of death. of pail and knell-
Leave that the mirth of brighter hours TO check
But tales of life. love, beauty, let us tell,
Or of stern battle, sea, and stormy wreck
Call up the visions gay Of other days
Our boyhood freaks, our careless, youthful ways
Hark to the distant bell /! an hour is gone
Unlatch the parlor door and bring the light;
Our brief but solemn duty must be done
To dip the cloth, and stay Deaths Fastening
blight.
To bare the ghastly face. and dip the cloth
3 That hides MORTAL crushed before the moth. ,
The bathing liquid scents The chilly room;
Of spectral white are shroud and yelling lace,
On yonder sideboard in the fearful gloom;
Take off the sitter from the sleepers face
Heaven did you speak, my friend, of ghasty
eyel
All, what a vision of beauty here doth lie
Never hath art, from purest wax or stone,
So fair and image, and so lustrious, wrought
1t is as If beam from heaven had shown
A weary angel in sweet slumber caught
The smiling lip, the slightly tinted cheek
And all so calm, so saint-like and SO meek
They sing Of beauty in the silver moon,
And beauty in the pencilled, dropping flower;
They tell of flushing eye and Turing tone,
In radiant Hopes and rosy Health's gay hour
But where is beauty, in this rounded world
Like death upon maiden's lp impeared
Veil thou The dead !! close to the open door
Perhaps the spirit, ere it soar above,
Would watch its clay alone, and hover DER
The face il once did kindle into love:
Commune we hence, o, friend, this wakeful night
or Death made lorely by this blessed sight!

The Science of Psychology.

The cultivators of this new science, says the
New York Day Book, are constantly briagng Gu
rious things to light: One of the most novel oC
these is termed Psychometry, which seems to be
the art or science of measuring souls. 1t is man.
aged in this fashion: You must first find what is
termed an mpressbe person. There are persons
of so delicatey susceptible a nervous organza-
ton to be powerfully affected by very slight in
huences Professor BUCHANAN, of the Ohio Eclec-
tic Medical College, at of his medical lectures,
distributed to his class little packages containing
different medicines carefully put up in two or three
envelopes These papers, impervous to ordina-
ry senses, the students were requested to hold IN
their hands. Al the end of twenty or thirty min.
utes some twenty of the class were found to have
received distinct impression as to the nature of
the medicine in their hands. Opiates, cathartics
and emetics not only made an impression which
conveyed an idea of their taste, bet produced nau
sea- and other characteristic effects. This was
one of several tests of impressiblity.
When person is found to be easily impressed,
that is TO have the power Of receiving ideas of the
qualities of things by other than the usual medi-
cines. other and far more curious experiments
may be proceeded with. Take letter, folded
and sealed in its envelope and place 1t in the
hands of such person, and in few moments he
will have clear conception of the contents of the
letter. the feelings of the writer, his character,
pursuits, personal appearance, and so on III seems
like a veritable reading or measuring OF the soul.
These experiments tried daily, in This city,
and over the whole country and the results are of
very curious and interesting character. They
are tried in private, by philosophers who are seek
ing after the truth; and not with any view to pub
licity or speculation, and it is only by accident
that we have become apprised of the existence Of
such phenomena but the few experiments we
have seen are quite conclusive as TO the existence
and exercise of such faculty, however the philo-
sohpers may account for il. Persons whom we
know intimately, who are thousands of miles away,
some on land and some at sea, have been accu-
rately described to US, and their chaacters, feel
ings and motives laid open. by person who knew
nothing Of them, simply by holding in the hand
closely enveoped letter
This looks wondrously like necromancy-but
all that is past. Two hundred years ago, witch
craft was a terrible reality. for the people were
hanged for it-but now witchcrait Is science
There are no longer any mysteries or miracles.--
We are learning more of Natures laws, and do
not find so many exceptions we thought. With
in the material world, there rises up spiritual,
with its own peculiar laws and phenomena, and
these we are just beginning tie investigate. Those
who have any curiosity to explore these seeming
mysteries further. will find them very ably discus
sed in the Journal of Man, monthly, edited by DR..
BUCHANAN, of Cincinnati.
