intensely interesting subject, which forms the
caption Of this article:

SYMpATHIEs OF MIND WITH THE BODY
are aware of the wonderful influence exerted
by the condition of the body npon the faculties
and affections of the soul. The following, from
the Essay on Indigestion, by Dr.. James john
son, contains some very remarkable facts: %
"Many ahappy aud lucky thought has sprung
from an empty stomach! Many an important
undertaking has been ruined by bit Of undl.
gested pckle-.nany a well-laid scheme has
failed in execution from drop of green bile
many terrible and merciless edict has gone
forth in consequence OF All irrtated gastric
nerve The character of mems mind has otteu
suffered from temporary arrangements OF the
body and thus health may make the same
man hero in the field, whom dyspepsia may
render imbecile in the cabinet" 50
Dr. j. illustrates his subject in his usual feci-
tous manner. The following are some Of his
remarks ....-.-
81 lately saw gentleman ofbrilliant talents
and prolific genius, who could set down and
write extemporaneouly whole pages of superior
poetica effusions, with scarcely an effort of the
mind, and who would yet, from sudden derange
ment of the digestive organs, be so completely
and quickly prostrated in intellectual power, as
not to be able to write three lines on the most
common subject. On q late OCCASION, when ne
had merely to communicate al official business
transaction that required not more than half q
dozen lines in the plainest language he could
not put pen to paper, though the attempt
was made fifty times in the course Of two days.
At length he was forced to throw himself into a
post-chase, and perform long journey to dc.
liver orally what might have been done i'll one
minute by the pen. In half an hour after this
was performed, he sat down and wrote an ode
descriptive oflis own nervous rritability which
would not have done discredit to the pen of o
Byron. 49,.
'.The author of this essay has himself been
so enervated by fit of what is called indiges-
ton as to be. utterly incapable of breaking the
seal Of letter for twenty -four hours though 10
all appearances. in good health at the lime. e.
qually astonishing and unaccountable is the de-.
gree of tinidity, terror, incapaciy, or whatever
other magic spell il is, which annihilates, for a
time, the.wholc energy of the mind, renders
the victim Of dyspepsia afraid of his own shad.
of things more unsubstantial, ifpossible
than shadows
Again he says:
at is under the influence of such paroxysm
as these, l am thoroughly convinced that nine
tcnths ofthose melancholy instances of suicide,
which shock the ears of the public, take place. "
We have no doubt Of it.. We have seen
men ofthe strongest minds-stronges wsmeau
but for their disease-as utterly overcome by
paroxysm of indigestion, as Dr.. ]. says he
hls been and we have seen them on the very
brink, too, Of sclf:destruction. How little do
mankind know of the reel ciprocal influence of
mind and matter.-PresJyteriun Adrocate.

TILE TOME. OF MADISON,
MONTPELIER, VA.

At Montpelier, the name which Mr.. Madison
gave to his beautiful residence in Orange coun-
ty, Virginia, about one hundred miles north
west of Richmond, aud thirty miles from the
grave cfJefferson, are inferred the remains Of
the fourth President of the United States, and
father Of the Constitution. We have no rec
ollection Of any published account Of Mr.. Madi-
sons tomb, although his late residence has been
frequently described. The memory Of Mr..
Madison has been somewhat neglected i'll his
native State. Short sketches of his life have been
written by John Quincy Adams, Charles j. In
gersoll, and Northern meu, and there is a brief
notice of him appended to his political writings;
buta full personal biography Of this great man
is much wanting. After his death, in June
1886, funeral Grafton was delivered before the
citizens of Richmond, Virginia, BY VIM. II. Nc
Farland, esq, Of that city, in which he gave an
eloquent sketch of his public life and services, but
no account Of his private life. Mr.. Adams was
appointed by the city authorities of Boston to
deliver an euogy on Mr.. Madison. The Facul-
ty of the University of Virginia paid due honors
10 lis memory. In Congress his death was ap-
propriately noticed by resolutions, and speech
es made by Mr.. Patton, of Virginia, and John
Quincy Adams.
We believe that the remains of Mrs. Madison
the venerable relict of Mr.: Madison,who survived
her husband until her death recently, were also
inferred at Montpelier.

THE TOMB OF TAYLOR.
NEA: LOUISVILLE, Ky.

General Taylor was the second President who
died in Office, and his deccase took place at
Washington city. July 9th 1850, where he was
first inferred with military and civic honors.--
His remains were removed in the fall of the

Der, 1850. Col. Richard Taylor, the father Of

TIE TOMB OF ANDREW JACKSON.

AT THE HERMITAGE, NEAR NASHVILLE, TENN
The Hermitage, which was for many years
the residence of General Jackson, is beautifully
situated on the bank of the Cumberland river,
about ten miles from the city of Nashville
There the mortal remains of the distinguished
General and President, who filled so important
place in the history of his country were in
tered in June, ls45. We have not seen any
particular description of the tomb at the Her
mitage, but it is known that the General was
opposed to pomp and show in commemoration
of the dead. lie refused to accept Of a marble
sarcophagus brought from the Mediterranean,
which had contained one o: the heroes Of anti
guilty. lie desired to be buried in plain man
ner, according to the customs of his country
men.
Gen. Jackson was buried by the side of his
wife, who had preceded him to his tomb sixteen
years before his death. The following eptaph
on this lady is interesting, as it was written by
Gen. Jackson himself
The Richmond Enquirer says:
A lady in the West has been kind enough to
send us copy of Andrew Jackson's epitaph on
his wife. 1t is known to have been his own
composition, yet, although it has been read by
thousands on her tomb in Tennessee, it has nev-
er appeared in print before. This singular in
scription runs thus:
"ITerc lie the remains of Mrs. Rachel Jack
son, who died on the 22d of December s2s,
aged 6l. IIor face was fair, her person pleas
ing, her temper amiablc and her heart kind
She delighted in relieving the wants of her fe.
low creatures, and cultivated that divine pleas
ure by the most liberal and unprctending meth
DDS. TO the poor she was bencfactress; to
the rich she was an example; to the wretched a
comforter; to the prosperous an ornament Her
pity went hand in hand with her benevolcnce
and she thanked her creator for being permitted
to do good. A being so gentle and yet so vir-
tuous, slander might wound but could not dis
honor. Even death, when he tore her from the
arms of her husband, could but transplant her
to the bosom Of her God"

A HUMAN BEING WITH NornISG TO DO
Most miserable, worthy Of most profound pity,
is such being. The most insignificant object
in nature becomes source of envy; the birds
warble on every spray, in ecstacy ofjoy the
tiny flower, hidden from all eyes, sends forth its
fragrance offull happiness; the mountain stream
dashes along with sparkle and murmur OF
pure delight. The object of f:thcr creation is
accomplished, and their life gushes forth in har-
monic work. Oh, plant oh, stream! worthy
of admiration, Of worship, to the wretched
idler!- Here are powers ye never dreamed OF
-tacuIties divine, eternal; headto think, but
nothing to concentrate the thoughts, heart
TO love, hut no object to battle with the living
tide of affection; n hand to do, but no work to
be done; talents unexercised, capacities unde-
velopcd; human life thrown away-wasted
as water poured forth in the desert. Birds and
flowers ye are gods to such a mockery of life
Who can describe the fearful void of such an
existence, the yearning for object, the sclfre.
proach for wasted powers, the WEAKNESS ofdai-
ly life, the oatling of pleasure, offrivolty, and
the fearful consciousness Of deadening lifc-of
spiritual paraly lysis, which hinders all response

arouse, and noble deeds no longer call forth
