How A SUN.STRoKE AFFECTS MAN.
Tho general impression is that
death by sun stroke is very painful,
but the contrary would seem to be the
fact, Judging from the following &C.

lie experienced an attack while in
Scinde, where the thermometer, ac-
cording to the General himself, was of
as much use to him as it would have
been to q boiling lobster, and wrote as
follows to one Of his daughters:
"The sun-stroke was a staggerer;
yet my hope is to die by one, for ne
yer can death como in an easier shape.

feeling of the transition would have
been a tiredness, like that experienced
on being suddenly walked up before
time. This was to degree almost
painful, then came pleasant drow'
Siness, with anger that the doctors
would not let me sleep. Were itnot
for others, would that my horn had
then been sounded-so easy, 30 de-
lighttul, may say, was the approach
of death" This resembles the &c.
counts given by men who have been
saved from freezing to death, after
having got far down into the dark
valley; so that the excess of heat and
the excess of cold produce precisely
the same effects.

HEAVENLY ORIGIN OF CuITCHAT.-
Naturally, women talk more than
men. The learned BuXtorf informs
us, in his Hebrew Lexicon, that the
primeval name, Eve, is derived from
a root signifying talk; and 1t was,
perhaps, from dim idea of this kind,
that the Rabbis owed their tradition,
that twelve baskets of chit-chat-it
could not be gossip, for there were nc
neighborS to gossip about-were rain.

MOTHER.

What a magic spell there isin the very
word, what cluster Of associations hang
in rich profusion around the name. Mo-
ther is word which strikes responsive
chord in every bosom, and thrills through
the chambers ofthe soul, awakening sweet
echoes. It wraps our hearts about with
sacred remembrances in the early days of
youth, and forsakes us not when many
wintry storm has bleached to whiteness
the venerable locks of age When in
the affairs of this life mislortunes have
crowded strangely about us-when the
bosom has been agitated by contending
emotions, or torn, it may be, by the bit
ter feelings of remorse, how soothing TO
the heart are the fond words of sympathy
and forgiveness, as it dislils in mellow
accents from the lips Of the mother. To
the wanderer in foreign lands, or among
strangers far from the hallowed associations
of youth, buffetting with cold and cheer
less world, how the remembranCes of
home, and the bright joyous face of a
sweet-spirited mother allays the throbbing
an xiety Of lrettcd heart, and gives
peace TO the troubled mind. If fathers
are looked up to as the head Of the fami-
ly for protection and guidance, mothers
are relied on for tenderness and undying
affection Ii fathers are looked up 10 for
the development of noble principles and
examples Of sterling integrity, mothers
are resorted to as the fountains of true
love and consolation. Amid the stormy
contentious and opposing factions Of earth
along the busy marts of commerce,
where the darker passions of man are
made to play an active part. chilling the
finer sensibilities of the soul, causing the
kindlier sympathies and feelings ofhuman
nature to recoi in bitter disappointment
upon itself, driving the mar to seek re-
pose in the sacred retreat of fome-lhen
it is that the mother assuages the storm,
and relights again the spirit of hope and
love. The influence of the mother is as
balmy, refreshing breeze. floating over
the aowery mead and singing ever so
sweetly among vine-clad hills, shady
bowers, and along the banks of gently
flowing brooks. How soothing is the
soft, wiiching voice of the mother, hush
ing to silence the jarring passions ofhuman
nature, calming the troubled and billowy
ocean of life, and by her power spreading
all around US an enchanting scene Of
loveliness. God bless the mothers Of the
land

THE Coal SHAFT.--0n Tuesday last,
the Steubenville Coal Company, after
saveral months unceasing labor, reached
the bed Of coal for which they were seek
ing-at the depth of2l6 feet. The coal
as regards quality is not to be surpassed in
the western country. The thickness Of the
vein cannot as yet be determined, from
the fact that the operatives were compel
led to quit and le9ya the works on &C
count of having stlreks q YIN Of salt wa
ter which rushed into the Shaft with such
rapidity that it was found impossible 10
proceed until the works conld be pump
ed out; which the company are preparing
to do. The depth Of water in the shaft
at this time cannot be far form 40 feet
The water which has been tested by
several has yielded from rs to 80 per ct.
The pumping is to be commenced imme-
diately, and we may reasonably expect
that in the course OF few weeks there
will be supply Of coal Of the best quail
ity, that will be inexhaustible.

THE LUXURY OF DoNa GooD.-Dr.
johnson, who carrieda cripple on his back
along Cheapside, has found rival. The
Countess of ElleSmere was in Worsley
one day, when she saw an old woman,
named Margaret Berry, who had been to
the coalpit for barrow-full of Goals about
hundred weight, and was then resting
with her load The noble countess, who
1--WE quote the Liverpool Albion) is one
of those noble women who delight in the
gentle luxury of doing good, stepped
up to the poor woman. and accosting
her with the words. "You seem rather
fatigued--I will give youalift," forthwith
took up the barrow and wheeled it a dis
tance of at least one hundred and fifty
yards.
