THE POWER OF THE HEART.

Let any one, while sitting down. place
the left leg over the knee of the II ht one,
permit it to hang freely, abandoning all
muscular control over it. Speedily it may
be observed to sway forward and back
through limited space at regular inter-
walls. Counting the number of these mo-
tions for any given time. they will be found
to agree exactly with the bestings Of the
pulse. Every one knows that. at a fire,
when the water from the engine is forced
through bent hose, the tendency is to
s'raighten the hose; and if the bend be
sharp one, considerable force is necessary
TO overcome the tendency. just so it is in
the case of the human body. The arte ries
are but system OF hose through which
the blood Is forced By the heart When
t5e leg is bent. all the arteries within it
are bent, too. and every time the heart con-
tracts, the blood rushing through the arte-
ries tends to straighten them; and it is the
effort which produces the N ton of the lee
alluded to. Without such ocular demon
stration. it is difficult to conceive the power
exerted by that exquisite mechanism. the
normal pulsations of which are never per-
ceived by him whose very life they are.

CATCHING A SUNBEAM.

The sun is already shining in the sky o
our lives, and his bright beams coniina
down to gladden. the earth. Bat INTO how
few hearts do they find their way? IhC
earth upon which cur minds dwell! ike the
material earth. has Its dense forests. its
deep dim valleys, its dark caves. and cav
erns into which the sunlight rarely If ever
comes. 1t would seem as if many people
loved these gloomy shades, and hid them
selves, from choice, away fran the bright
and beautiful sunshine. They carry shad-
ows in their faces. When they come into
your presence it seems as if the air was
suddenly darkened by passing cloud.
Dir. Hickman was one of these men who
walk, for the most part, in dark valleys.
or sit IN dreary eaverns. Rarely. if ever,
on returning home, did he bring light into
his dwelling. If there was merry laughter
among the children on his entrance. their
voices were hushed; if loves light beamed
frem the countenance of his wife, as she
sported with her little ones. it faded away,
giving place to a sober, thoughtful, half
troubled look. He always came home
bringing shadow with him, and sat. for
the most part, in this shadow, through
all the cheerless evenings.
Why was this? Was there a great
trouble in the heart of Mr.. Hick MANI
Had he passed through some depressing
misfortune or suffered some terrible aflic-
ton? No. 1t was as well with him as
with most people-better than with very
large number. His business was very
prosperous, and every year he added many
thousand dollars to his rapidly accumulat-
ing fortune. But he was not a man DOS
sessing an orderly adjusted mind, was
easily disturbed by triHes, aud annoyed by
incidents that should not have affected
him any more than the buzzing Of fly
But the real cause lay deeper and more
hidden, grounded in an inOrdinate selfish
ness, that robbed him of the pleasure which
might have attended success, through envy
b OF others good fortune.
He was jealous of his compeers in
business. and always experienced disa-
greeable sensation when he heard them
spoken of as successful No wonder that
sunlight could bot find its way into his
heart Envy and iA-will, burn in what
heart they may, always send up black
smoke that obsc1res the heavens The
sun is there, smiling as brilliantly as ever,
but his rays cannot penetrate this cloud of
passion Nc day passed in which some

MAJOR ANDERSON sTARTLEs THE
CHARLESTONIANS.

The Charleston C respondent of the
New York Tribune writes under date oi
the 4th:
A few days since an incident occurred
to enable Ft Sumter to give its assailants,
to-be an iukling of what it had in store for
them 1t was fuc day, and the revolu-
tionists were parading and drilling in
force. in full view Of Ft. Sumter. The
Major fired one of his huge columbiads
shotted with an explosive ball. which
struck the water not far from the revolu-
tiOnists, creating by its own explosion a
faOm on the surface of half an acre around.
They were struck with astonishment, and
no one was so weak or blind as not to
make some calculation of what the full
batteries of the fort would be able to do
when served. as they will be, BY artiller-
lists the superiors of whom the country
does not afford.
SUFFERING AND DIscoNTENT IN MISSISSIPPI.
The ST. Louis New: of the lI:h, says:

and she was in danger of sinking The
owner cried out to the captain: ''Hold on
