The TERM "NERvoUs. There are few
terms more commonly used, both in and
ou! ofthe medical profession. than nervous.
The word has acquired great numbers of
Specifications, ard men at the same time
profess not to understand what it m cans.
Certainly, to speak of Icing nervous is a
mode ofexpression which is very indef-
nue, from the use that is made OF it; but
which, if properly applied, carries to the
mind very forcibe impression Of pc.
cnliar stage, for which we have no very
appropriate language. Unfortunately
the aame word has been long employed to
two states in direot opposition to each
other: thus we talked Of strong, weighty
Argument delivered with bpldness and en-.
ergy, as nervous speech and the ora
tor as 'Iull ofnerve;' while, on the other
hand, we say that the individual who do
Iiycrs himself with timidly with hesila-
ton, and distrust Of his own power, is
highly nervous; we regret that his good
sense was overpowered by his nerves. In
The fist instance, we mean 10 say that there
is an extension and strength of nerve; in
the latter, there is laxily and weakness
OF nerve; yet, by some strange anomaly
IN our mode oil epressing our ideas, we ap.
ply the same adjective TO both these states
OF the nervous System.

Send upward to Heaven thy heartfelt prayer.
Wheh the SUMS bright rays have once more gone, =,
When the shadows OF night steal gbntly on,
"heh the stars of heaven are beamng bright
AND the moon Is robed In her silver light.
Then call forth thy spirits exalted powers,
And 10 heaven devote the solemn hours,
'Tis prayer will draw thy spirit near
Our God, who alone can soothe and cheert
ltbears our thoughts away from the ills OF earth,
1t teaches the soul ofits nobler birte,
ltpoints us above, where He doth reign,
And whispers, thy soul shall live again,
1t speaks ofthe power that bursts the tomb
When all shall arise in beauty to bloom,
Then turn from each scene of deep despair
And lit thy heart to God in prayer.
No earthly chain can force apart
The links oflove in prayerrul heart;
No power can lessen, no fear control
The Joyous peace that fills the soul.
Would ye view the weapons gathered there?
'Tis the Christians faith and heartfelt! prayer.
Tisprayer alone that reveals power
To cheer in living or dying hour.
'Tisan influence ever sweet and serene,
That charms sad hearts Ike beautiful dream.
Ityields us a Joy earth ne'erhas given,

Tls prayer, true prayer that guides us on
The pathway of life, till the time shall come,
When no shadows fall o'er us, as sweetly we SIM
Our praises forever to our heavenly king.
