PHILOSOPHY OF PAIN.

Sir Humphrey Davy, when boy, with the
defiant constancy of youth which had as We,
suffered nothing, held the opinion that paip
was no evil. he was refuted by crab which
bit his toe when he was bathing, and made him
roar loud enough to be heard half mile OIL.
| If he had maintained, instead, that pain was a
good, his doctrine would have been unimpeach-
able. Unless the whole constitution of the
world were altered, our existence depends on
our sensibility to suffering. An anecdote.
which is quoted by DR.. Carpenter, in his Prin
ciples Of Human Physiology" from the Jour
nal of Naturalist" shows the fatal effects Of
temporary suspension of this law of our ma
ture.
A drover went to sleep on q winters evening
upon the platform of limekiln, with one leg
resting upon the stones which had been piled
up to burn through the night. That which was
gentle warmth when he lay down became a con
Stunning Gre before he rose up. His foot was
burned off above the ANGLE and when, reused
in the morning by the man who superintended
the lime. kiln, be put his stump, unconscious Cf
his misfortune, to the ground, the extremity
crumbled into fragments. Whether he had
been lulled into torpor by the carbonic acid
driven off from the lime stone, or whatever else
may have been the cause of his insensibiity. he
felt no pain, and, through his very exemption
from this lot Of humanity, expired in fort
night afterwards in Bristol Hospital
Without the warning voice of pain, life would
be series of similar disasters. The crab. to
the lasting detriment of chemistry, might have
eaten off the future Sir Humphreys foot while
he was swimming, without his entertaining the
slightest suspicion of the ravages which were
going on. Had he survived the injuries from
the crab, he would yet have been cut off in the
morning Of his famous career, If, when expert
meuting upon the gases, the terrible oppres-
sion at his chest had not warned him to cease
iubaling the carburetted hydrogen, nor, after
a long struggle for life, would he have recover,

decimal system How simple are the doctrines
of political justice yet ages of convulsions in
the vain enforcement of systems of force have
failed to convince men of the practicability o.
those doctrines.
The Organon thus produced in the maturity
of his strength was really the work of his life
aided, indeed, by the light that had long been
penetrating the mists of schoIasticism. All
men, who are men, have their ideas; and this
was Bscon's.
1t were pity the philosopher had not then
have gathered bis robes around him, and been
laid in an illustrious grave. Some men are cut
eff in the midst of their work, whilst others live
beyond their day. Bacon lived to enter the
deep cloud that yet envelopes his name. He
sank under the charge Of judicial corruption.

Justly blame, will give few facts connected

happiness to suspect the approach of sorrow.
Her spirit was so clad in brightness, that

Edward continued, " He was walking the
hoor over my head half the night. You must
have observed that he ate no dinner today.
That sort of thing won't do for his mothers
son. He must have some weight on his mind.

those of the South, not to do anything against

away from him to the right and the left, and he

chanics, tradesmen, and farmers, suspect they
are under the inf uence, if not in the power, of
the mobs and the demagcgues here" said Ed
ward, exaggerating, as rhetoricians are con.
stsntly tempted to do, for the sake of point and
parallel, "almost as much az the sand Killers and
mean white men, that Herman talks about, are
there. They have knowledge enough to make
money, but not to make statesmen. This brother
of ours will only get himself into Coventry for
nothing; and l cannot see the good sense of
giving up all the peace and comfort of life for
the sake OF these abstract questions"
Clara neither knew nor cared much about the
political questions under discussion but the
idea of Herman i'll or in trouble had frightened
her out of her usual careful courtesy, and nearly
up two fights of stairs, before Edward had got
half through his Grafton, which he finished,
notwithstanding, to himself, probably because,
having once begun, he was too lazy to leave off.

100000 proprietors, some of whom again
rent it out 90 that about ZOO, 900 families are
engaged in the cultivation of it. The aspect
must be strange to Americans, when first they
behold q large plain of cultivated land in
France, divided into strips Of only q few yards
in width, planted with all sorts of agricultural
productions. Since the great Revolution, prop.
erty has been divided over and over again, and
large estates are now very scarce in France
which accounts in some measure for the few
improved agricultural implements employed
compared to other countries.

Weary head, weary head,
Close thy eyes upon thy bed,
And sleep or weep;
Naught will come of all this aching,
Save heart worn out 10 breaking
Naught will crown thee, weary head,
But thy peace discomforted-
For a balm will long be waiting.
Weary hands, weary hands,
Fold like marble on my breast,
And rest, rest
Cease thy clutching, toiling, grasping-
Loose each idol from thy clasping-
Drop thy weapons, bid my heart,
Rouse thee not 10 take her part,
Though she writhe beneath smart.
Weary feet, weary feet,
Will the dew of pastures sweet
Cleanse We from The sordid dust

Go no farther, weary feet
