THE HEART.-The heart is the first organ
that makes its appearance in the animal
organism. The first trace of it is discovered
about the end of the third week of embryon

sundrv yellow flaments are seen shooting
forth. This is the germ of thit 9 fearfully
and wonderfully made instrument, the
human heart, accompanied by its principal

of the body, and the very fountain of life.
and all innate aud vital heat" The heart.
according to the fancy of the peripatic phil
osiphers, is in human body, as the first
intelligence in the universe and as kind
of monarch in its own little world. The
substance of this muscular structure-for
such it is emphatically very compact and
strong. in order that it may be able to resist
the tremendous strain destined to be put up
on it, especially by imprudent people. and
the better to preserve the vital heat, and the
spirit which, as another quaint writer re
marks. would soon breath out and vanish
away from it, were it of greater rarity and
softness.n

read the following from the Mining and Sci

We learn from very reliable source that
Havward's mine, on Suffer Greek, Amador

nate and sole owner, the nice little sum of
SAT 900 for the month of April last Mr..
HAYWARD has two mills upon this mine-one
of l6 stamps and the other of 40. The l6-
stamp mill is said to pay all the expenses of
mining and crushing for both mills. leaving
the total earnings of the 40.stamp mill as
clear profit. This mill is thoroughly cleaned
up once every two weeks, with very uniform
result, ranging from S2l, 900 to S23, 700 per

latter the highest amount yet realized for a
two-wceks' run. Six years ago this mine was
not paying expenses. 1t was then worked

to show that the election of Lincoln would
be no cause for disunion, and to warn his
countrymen Of the ruinous consequences of
secession. After the election he gave all
bis energies to stragetic efforts to prevent
precipitancv and haste. A terrible pressure
amid the cry we will never live under Lin
coin rule, was brought upon him to force
the call of the Legislature. This he refused
to do until after sixtyo men took the
responsibility of calling for the ecton Of
delegates to a revolutionary convention, and
the elections wer. spontaneously held. De
serted and threatened by Gen. Twiggs, and
unaided from Washington. he finally gave
way and convened the Legislature in extra
session. The convention met and secession
was accomplished. The Legislature ratified
the action of the convention. Houston made
his record against the ordinance. Therfare-

part in the war. He retired to his almost
