of man. In applying the reasons derived
from the causes Just enumerated, land much
might have been said Which modesty forbids, }
1t may not be amiss to advert TO the following
rules; LIST. The greater the number of causes
Of degeneration, and the longerthey continue
to act on the same species, the more obvious
ly will that species deviate from its original
formation. Man, therefore, must be expect
ed to vary more than any animal, since he
has been subjugated from his very origin to
united agencies of climate, food, and way
of life. Cd. A course possessing in itself suf-
fcient efficacy, may be weakened by the con-
currence Of other col ditions. Thus, countries
placed under the same parallel Of latitude,
have vc::y different temperatures, and this
effect may be varied on the human subject
according to locality, as higher or lower
situation, or the being surrounded by por-
tions of the sea, marshes, mountains, or
woods, DC, &c. Sd. The source of degen-
GRAFTON is often to be sought for, not in any
immediate cause; but in the mediate influence
of some more latent agency. Thus the dark
color of the skin, may not arise from the di-
rect action of the sun, but from more re-
mote, and signal influence on the hepatic sys-
TEN through the liver. 4th. These indirect
and mediate causes may be so obscure that
we cannot form even any probable conjecture,
as to their nature, and yet be warranted in
referring those phenomena of degeneration,
which hitherto appeared enigmatical, to the
operation of such unknown powers. Thus we
must explain the constant national forms of
the Uranium, color of the eyes, &c, &c.
Our next lecture will embrace Varieties of
the human race, which l hope to make more
interesting than the former.

THE NATURAL HISTORY OF MAN
LECTURE No. 3.
L ,NcAsrER, o., May 5, 1856.
BY r. II. II, VI. D.

BY R II. II, N. D.
This Lecture will embrace what constitutes
distinct species in zoology, and how varieties
arise out Of species.
1t is difficult at this day and age of the
world, after so many thousands Of generations
have appeared upon the earth and returned
again to their original dust, after having mar
ried and intermarried, and having been sub
jected to all the fluctuations of different eli
mates, food, mode and manper of living and
thousand exterior circumstances. calculated
to renew, modify and change his animal con-
stituton, to specify with any certainty the
original stock from which he sprurg; and in
attempting to do this, we must refer to the
analogy Of other animals. and the effect which
climate. food, &e., has produced upon the
xaimal economy.
We should answer In the abstract, to the
first question, that all animals b, long to the
same species, which differ in such points only.
as might arise in the natural course of degen-
Grafton, while those differences, which could
not be explained on this supposition, would
lead us to class the animals which exhibit
them in different species. But the great diff
fculy arises in distinguishing in actual prac-
tce mere varieties from specific differences.
Ray, and after him Button, referred those
animals to the same species, which cohabit
together, and produce healthy and fertile
offspring. But this criterian produces little
benefit, and we must be contented to derive
our notions Of species in zoology from analo-
gy and probability. The molar teeth of the
Asia.ic and African elephant differ very wide
ly in their conformation and as we know of
no instances OF such differences from degen-
Grafton, we ascribe those animals to species
originally different. The white Ferret, we
regard as a variety, the color of the hair and
pupi! Of the eye experiencing a similar varia-
ton where it is a mere variety. In consider
ing the causes by the operation of which
species degenerate into varieties, we must con-
tent ourselves with the fact which prove the
influence ol such causes, without attempting
to explain how they produce their effects. A
very Slight consideration will show that there
is no point of difference between the several
races OF mankind, which has not been found
to arise, in at least an equal degree, among
other animals, as mere variety from the
usual causes of degeneration Such instances
arise chiefly from domestication, Living with
man, they lead an artificial and unnatural
kind OF life. Hence domestieation, together
with climate, produces various colors, sizes,
&c, &C., which would lead one TO believe,
unacquainted with the effects these changes
produce, they were originally different species
Wild animals, on the contrary, remaining
where they were destined, retain permanent
ly their first character. Man, the inhabitant

Weep for the youthful dead, the fresh and fair,
Called in the morning Of life's beautious bloom
Had dimmed its brightness with its gathering
Like spring Aowrets robed in beauty rare,
Fresh with the fragrance Of the dewy morn,
Scenting swestly all the balmy air,
With every grace and loveliness adorned.
So did these gentle ones in life appear.
The pride and Joy of fondly doating hearts,
The treasured idols Of affection dear,
Whose cheering smiles babe every grief depart
Illumed with radient beams each joyous home
From sorrow 8 eye subdued the rising tear
Lit up that flame Of love, which still will burn,
Undimned and quenchless in a holier sphere
Joyous in view ofhappy days to come,
TIE star of hope beamed brightly on their path,
Luring their footsteps midst flowers to roam,
Unconscious of the thorns concealed beneath.
Lovely and loved, the happy moments sped;
Each day unfolding some new, winning grace,
To twinc more closely hearts so firmly wed
by Friendships sacred ties, aud loves embrace.
Ala in one short hour their hopes were crushed
Nnckci were Il ose pro pects that 50 br ghtly

London Literary Gazette, alluding to the nu-
merous cases of deaths from accidental poison
ing, adds Il venture 10 affirm there is scarce
cottage in this country,that does not contain
an invaluable, certain, immediate remedy for
such events, nothing more than desert spoon
ful of made mustard, mixed in tumbler of
warm water, and drink immediately. 1t acts
as an emetic, is always ready, and may be
used with safety in any case where one is re-
quired. By making this simple antidote
known, you may be the means of saving many

Coal AND WooD.-Wood generates heat
more rapidly than COAL but pound of the
latter (anlhracite) will evaporate three times
more water than pound of wood. As
compact fuel, ceal there fore is the best for use
in generating steam, because plenty of draft
for rapid combustion can easily be obtained
by blower or tall chimney. As wood con-
tairs a great quauity OF oxygen, and anthra-
cite coal is used. This is the reason why the
atmosphere of apartments heated with wood
fuel, produce, as ii were, more genial infiu-
ence. and why such fuel is also more healthy
for heating also why it does not require
such an amount Of ,old air from the outside to
supply the fire.

PLUCK NOT THE FLOWER FROM OFF
The TOMB.

BY ARMsT. T. MASON.
Pluck not the flower from of the Tomb,
'Ts affections emblem planted there,
To rob the grave Of parts its gloon
And breath sweet incense to the air.
Touch not the bud that hangs its head,
Lowly DER the grassy sod
1t gives cheerful aspect TO the bed,
Where all must lay, at the will of COB.
o, take not a single leaf away,
That grow above the silent dead,
To let them wither and decay,
Or perish meath the careless tread.
But move gently, as you draw nigh,
To gaze upon the grave yard flowers
They chase away the mourners sigh,
And cheer them in their saddened hours.

A GOLD MINE IN NEW YoRK.-We have a
letter from Amsterdam, Montgomery Co I,
giving an account of the accidental discovery
by party of children of bed of auriferous
quarts in a cave on the premises Of Jonathan
Buger. Some of the children broke off
pieces of the gold-bearing rock and carried
them home. Next morning the fathers were
on the spot bright and early. Three of them
who were there first, got pieces of the rock,
but before they got off the neighbors came in
crowds, and presently there was a serious fight
for the possession of the treasure. During
the day The row continued one man was in
jured past recovery. One piece of what
seemed to be pure gold weighing ten ounces
was got out, however, and then another of
eighteen ounces. The excitement in the town
was very high at our last advices.
