The DEAD HOUSES OF EuRoPE.-A correspon.
dent of the Troy Arena says In Frankfort on
the Main and in Munich are dead houses to which
bodies are sent previous to burial, where they are
kept for some two or three days Tor the purpose OF
ascertainirg whether life has become extinct or
not. On the fingers Of the corpses are placed
thimbles which are attached to a cord communica-
ting with a bell. The slightest movement Of a
finger rings the bell, and thus, in cases of suspen-
ded animation, efforts are made to restore the
body, instead of burying it alive, as, no doubt,
often happens in this country. In Munich it is
compulsory on the friends and relatives of all,
whether rich or poor, to send the body to the
dead house, and allow it to remain q certain num-
Der Of days-the exact time | have forgotten. IL
Frankfort, L think it is not compulsory, but it is,
nevertheless, a custom very generally followed.

THE ATALANTIC MONTHLY.
BEGINNING OF THE FIFTH VOLUME

In assuming the control of the Atlantic Month
ly, its new propriotors deem it scarcely needful
to spend many words in assurances or promises.
The congratulations and good wishes they have
received from all parts of the country seem to JUS
tify them in the confidence that their own char
acter as publishers will be accepted by the numer-
Gus readers and friends of the Magazine as a war
rant that they will do everything in their power to
increase its interest, to enlarge its circle o.: attrnc-
ton, and to raise its standard of ability in oil
departments.
They think IL proper to say, simply, that no
change will be made in the general character Of
the magazine; that all the writer's whose contribu-
tons have established it in the popular favor will
continue to make it their medium of communion
ton with the public; and that the relations of the
publishers with authors on both sides the Atlantic
will enable them to add materially to the variety,
interest, and value Of its pages.
The Atlantic has never been, and will never be,
a sectional journal. Its publishers acknc wledge
no parallels of latitude In the Republic of Letters;
and, while they will judge of any article offered
them, not by the source whence it comes, but by
its own intrinsic worth, they will at the same time
endeavor to maintain It's character us a periodical
in which earnest thinkers may find expression,
unhampered by fear of that narrow censorship
which what is loudest. but not deepest, in Public
Opinion would fain establish.
TERMS. Three Dollars per annuns, or twenty
FIVE cents a number. Upon the receipt Of the sub
~scription price, the publishers will mail the work
to any part of tho United States, prepaid. Sub
scriptions may begin with either the first or any
subsequent number. The postage of the Atlantic
is thirty six cents a year, If prepaid.
The pages of the Atlantic are stereotyped, and
back numbers can be Supplied.
CbUBs.-For Ten Dollars the publishers will
send Eve copies of the Atlantic for one year,
the subscribers to pay the postage.
Clergymen, Teachers, and Postrnasters will re-
ceive the work for Two Dollars a year.
Booksellers and Newsmen will obtain the terms
by the hundred, ETC., upon application to the
Publishers.

THE R COMPANY.

a gentleman who was riding in the cars noticed
a bright little fellow, between five and six years
of age, sitting with his father and mother. and en-
gagged in the attempt to loosen the knot it q string
that bound q NAL parcel. The knot had become
we'll compacted, and the child's tiny fingers SEEM
ed to make no impression thereon. The patient
earnestness Of the little ono was contrasted with
the apparent indifference of his parents, who look
ed on but made no attem pit to assist him. AT last
the gentleman. whose sympathies with children
were warm, could bear the sight no longer so
partly to help the child, ard partly to Iebuko the
parents, he took cat his kuife, and handing it to
the boy, said:
Here, my little fellow, try the virtue of a sharp
blade. You can't unite the knot
To his surprise the knife was not taken, but
instead, the child answered with a smile
Please, sir, father don't allow me to say /

Indeed, said the gentleman, as he drew back
his hand, Il never hesrd Of that company be-
fore.'
oh, I've always belonged to it-baven't l.,
fatherf And the child turned with an express
sion of loving confidence in his face, towards his
father.
He's q worthy member of that excellent asso-
citation, SIR remarked the father, now speaking
to the gentleman, and smiling, in a pleasing way.
'Ah / understand you Light was breaking
in upon his mind. This is a part of your discip-
line. You never permit your little boy to say |
can't.'
But instead, I'll try, sir.'
Excellent said the gentleman, excellent.

H SEASONS.

The crocus, in the shrewd March morn,
Thrusts up his saffron spear;
And April dots the sombre thorn
With gems and ~loyeliest cheer.
Then sleep the seasons, full of might;
While slowly swells the pod,
And rounds The peach. and in tho night
The mushroom bursts the sod.
The winter comes the frozen rut
Is bound with silver bars
The white drift heaps against the hut
And night is pierced with stare.
