How MAN FEELS WITH HIS HEAD Orr.
1t is considered on all sides that the BODY
does not feel one instant after ecapitation ::
for the brain being the seat of sensation to
the whole frame, through the medium of
the spinal marrow, every part Of the body,
beneath the joint a. which the latter NAV
be divided, must be deprived of feeling
But it by no means follows that the head IS
deprived Of sensation Immediately after de-
cap'atlon, nor that it may not retain lis con-
seriousness, and, like the head of the Irish
knight who was killed by Saladiu in the
Holy War. get up and declare that it was
never cut off by sweet scim,ar before
nor like that of the assassin Legare, swear
roundly at the execnloDer for not keeping
a keener exc; bu, it is quite possible that il
may be troubled with very serious refec-
lions upon the irrevocabliry of IFS fate aud
the awGulness Of its depriva.ions. IN sup
port Of this unpleasant theory, many facts
are addrced, wit grave vouchers for their
authenticity. Among others is the unfor-
unste Queen Of Scots. whose lips contnu-
ed to move in prayer for al least, quarter
Of an honr after the eXecuioner had per-
formed his duties. Windt states that hav-
ing pu, his mouth to the ear Of tiecapiatel
criminals head, and called him by name
the eyes turned to the side from whence tht
voice came ; and this fact Is altested by Fon
tenello, Mogore, Gui!lotine, Nsuche, aut
| Aldini. Ga the word murder being called
in the case Of a criminal executed for lha
crime et CobIenlz, the half closed eyes o
Ipened wide with an expression Of repfoacl

At her residence, on the 25th uItmo, after a
lingering illness, Miss ELIZA JAMESON in the
60th year of her age.
In the life and character Of this remarkable old
lady there was no striking Development Of single
excellence, but union of all those virtues which
at once eXalt and ennoble the human family, and
furnish an indisputable passport to bliss beyond
the grave. Amid the temptations which beset in
experience, and the Establishments that pay court
to wealth, she put on the armor of christian hll-
mIlIty and wore, amid the music of fattery and
the INCONSISTENCY of youth without display or defile
ment the white robe of an universal charity. In
every department of life she proved herself equal
to her station, and worthy to be called woman
For her, Death had no terrors with the resigna-
ton of her sex, chcercd by the light of her stead
fast hope, and with heart fred with pure and fer
vent devotion to her God, she met her summons.
Death laid his hand
Upon her heart, gently, not shifting it,
But as harper lays his open palm
Upon his harp, to deaden its vibrations.
