My funeral knell
Sounds louder than the lovers word,
Which once my inward soul has stirred:
Farewell, farewell.
Flowed thee, and how much how we'll,
Oh, let life's devotion tell!
And IN return you gave
Love which in absence could not live.
On others iavished and you give
TO me an early grave.

Toolongs too long was hope deferred,
And ] am dying ,iow;s
My feeble hand can scarcely place
The pen aright, these lines to trace,
or wipe my clamlny brow.
I leave thee this sad legacy
Il With sleepless memories ofme
Thou shalt be curst! &

Shall thoughts arise beyond control

derful and lnextrlcable theories we have OF the
principl of life. The men of the, old time
thought they understood it, sufficiently so to
take some care of it-knew what would destroy
it, and what would preserve it. They knew
something of heads and hearts, and were SIM
pie enough to believe that there was will,
which had something to do with the action of
the body and mind. But these are old notions,
and will not answer for this reforming age. 1t
is now found out that the head is galvanic
battery, and the nerves the wires--just like the
electric telegraph. The theory is called Elec.
tro-Biology, and it will be remembered that one
of the witnesses at the trial of DR.. Webster, was
lecturer on it. But Mr.. Alfred Since, of the
Royal lSociety of England, has published book
on the subject, which explains the whole affair.
H regards the brain as great galvauic battery,
and the nerves as galvanic conductors, and H.
lustrates, by large variety ofthe most inter.
esting experiments, how muscular action is pro.
duced, and how sensation Is transmitted from
one part OF the body to another.

years of health were before him. On the day
