The Heart.

Notwithstanding the fact that the human
heart is no more the seat of moral seuti-
menls than it is of Intellectual operations,
literary men still cling to the old bIunder
of ancient poets, who refer all emotions.
good. bad or Indifferent. to that source
The brain is a receiving and dispensing
centre. but the heart simply forces blood
from is cavities through the body to vi
talize it.
Warm blooded animals have two hearts,
joined together, thus occupying less room;
but cold blooded creatures, as fishes, have
but one. This is the essential difference
in the organic structure of aquatic and
land animals. But that which is most Gu
rious, ard worthy OF close examination of
mechanical inventors, is its immense fore
ing power. Although made of flesh, ap-
parently very simple in construction, a
careful study Of the walls show the ventri-
cles-the contracting box. which is the
propelling engine, is built up of elastic
threads, thousands upon thousands lying
side by side, of which no two are of the
same length. Beginning on a line called
the sOptuno cords. between the auricle and
ventrcle, each one winds round, as it de-
scends, beyond the apex, so that each re-
presents corkscrew. When the ventrice
is filed to its utmost capacity with blood,
those threads are relaxed. AS soon as elon-
gated as far as they can be, they spasmOdi
cally contract, giving the whole a twisting
action on its own axis, thus forcing the
blood out. That explains the beat of the
lower point of the heart against the ribs.
1t is literally twisting and untwisting mil
lions of elastic cords.
Power, simplicity, and economy of space
are obvious in this beautiful mechanical
continuance for the circulation Of the blood.
Why mas not some one initiated 1t? With
out expecting to find out the mystery of its
extreme irritability, the peculiar disposition
of it's elastic walls, it is possible to initiate
it in the construction Of various instruments
which are still a desideratum.

"You Can't Fool Ne :"

A lover relates the following experience.

her pleasantly about hills. mountains. wales,
cataracts and water falls. and at The mention
of water falls Ems little brother exclaim-
ed
"Why. sisters got trunk full of them

"This revelation struch terror into me
and bushes into the cheeks of my fair
companion. I was embarrassed. I tried
to converse with him for a moment. Spoke
of my little brother-his chickens, pigs
and yoke of calves. &c The word calves
ruined all. The little fellow looked up
and said :

don't wear 'em only when she goes up in
town o. windy days"
"Leave the room, you unmaunerly little

Performances.

As to his performances on the Turf, we give you
what his excellent Trainer, Mr. T. B. Patterson
said of him, viz: CATER making successful cam
paigns for years and running over every course
from Nashville to Memphis, New Orleans, and Mo
bile etc. and performing the extraordinary feat of
running 40 miles within 81 days, he considered him
a First Class Race Horse at all Distances, from one
to four miles, and after visiting the north, he
believes Rousseau better horse than any he
except Kentucky, and he has his doubts about him.

Wearing Mourning .

We long for the day when this custom
shall be obsolete. 1t is unbecoming the
truly afflicted one. The wearer says by
the black garments, II have lost near
friend. am deep in sorrow." But true
grief does not wish to parade itsel before
the stranger much less does it assert its
extent. The stricken one naturally goes
apart from the world to pour out the tears.
Real affection seeks privacy. 1t is no re-
spsct to the departed friend to say we are
Ia sorrow. five have real grief, it will be
discovered.
When God has entered household in
the awful chantisement of death, it is time
for religious meditation and communion
with God on the part of the survivors,
How sadly out Of place then, is the milli-
ner and nress-m maker. the trying on of dres-
ses, and the trimming of bonnets There
is something profane in exciting the vanity
of young girl by fitting a waist, or trying
on hat, when the corpse of father is ly
ing in an ad joining room. 1t is a sacrilege
to drag the widow forth from her grief, to
be fitted for a gown, or to select vail
1t is often terribly oppressive 10 the poor.
The widow left desoiate with haf-dozen
little children, the family means already re-
duced by the long sickness of the father,
must draw on her scanty purse to buy
new wardrobe throughout for herself and
children, throwing away the good stock of
garments already prepared, when she knows
not where she is to get bread for those little
ones. Truly may fashion be called a ty-
rant, when it robs the widow of her last
dollar. Surely your sorrow will not be
questioned, even if you should not call in
the milIiner to help you dlpIay it. Do not

which will turn the af1 ctions of your poor

IMMIGRATION.

The Flow Of Population from the Old World TO
the Ncw-A Large Increase Over the Numbers
Of Last Year.
Whatever the cause may be that decmates
the population of most European countries
and increases our own at a rate of numerical
progress hitherto unparalleled, the fact stands
prominent. 1t is almost useless here to in
quire into the manifold agencies that either
produce or contribute to this constant, increas-
ing flow of population to the West across the
ocean. Such an inquiry may be and probably
is within the province of the historian and the
political economist, but he whose duty IS
simply to record the daily events of moment
as they occur, need but give the statement of
fact and leave the pragmatical inquiry into
the relationship of effects to causes, and 0Sce
UCrSd, to others.
Such fact, of great moment at present, is
the immense increase in the number of immi-
grants landing at New York the present year
over the last. While the entire number of
immigrants for the first five months of the
wear 1868, from January / to May 81, was
81 .577. the number of arrivals at Castle Gar
den, New York. the great emigrant depot for
the same period this year amounted to 90, G30
an increase of over 4S per cent over the
of last year. The following
tables will give the reader interesting infor-
nation in detail.-

WAR WITH ENGLAND.
Its Effects on the supply of Food.

It's Effects the supply of Food.
The London Pal Nall Gazette of recent
date said-
In an article published some time since we
INDUCED in somewhat confident predictions as
to a coming period of cheap bread Those
predictions have been verified even to
greater extent than we expected; for we find
that the average price of wheat had declined
at May Day, 1869, to AS Cd. per quarter
while the corresponding average at the com
mencement of May, 1868, was 7ls. 2d. per
quarter, showing that wheat is now nearly 3Os
per quarter lower than it was twelve months
since. The question which, of course, next
arises is what are the prospects of the fu5ure?
and the answer is that they are excellent. The
growing wheats generally present favorable
appearance IN France, and when bread
is plentiful in France it is cheap
in Europe. In our own country,
also, the appearance of the fields is
encouraging, and, in the language of Mr.
James Sanderson, ''there is now the promise
of abundant grain as well as green crops.
Further, the great sums paid for Hungarian
wheat during the last two or three years have
given an apparently enduring stimulus to
Hungarian agriculture, so that the deliveries
OF wheat from Hungary may be expected to
continue large. The extension of railway
communication in Russia must favor the ex-
portatlon of wheat from that country, while
the contemplated abolition of the is. duty
now levied on corn imported into the United
Kingdom must have the effect of rendering
foreign supplies generally Is. per quarter
cheaper. Everything, then, promises con-
tinuance of cheap bread.
Of course, a war with the United States
which in calculations of this kind cannot be
quite put out of the question-would very
much alter the aspect of affairs. Such war
would Stop all wheat slDnlips from, the TTnita6
States, and probably from British America
also. The Importance of these supplies will
be seen from the annexed recapitulation of
the imports of wheat (and wheat four) from
British America and the United States during
the last ten years.

AN HERBAL1sT POISONED BY HMsE1F.-A
case of poisoning occurred recently in Liver
pool, England, causing the death of one per-
son and endangering the life of another.
Martin Flannery, collector of herbs, went
out to the fields in the exercise of his voea-
ton, and returned early in the forenoon with
a quantity of herbs The house in which he
lived with his wife and child was possessed bv
a woman named Ann Carney, who made com
plant to him of severe suffering from rheu-
matte pains Flannery undertook to pre-
scribe remedy for the womans complaint.
and recommended her to take some portion
of the herbs which he had collected She did
as he suggested, and Flannery himself par
took of the medicine. The consequence was
that both Carney and Flannery were taken
i'll. Carney went to the East Dispensarv.
where an emetic was administered to her,
which was so far successful that she is still
alive, although not out of danger. Flannery
expired soon after taking the herbs.

From this It will be seen that Liverpool,
Bremen, and Hamburg continue to be the
chief ports of emigration from the Old World
to the New, although the steamers from
Copenhagen are bringing us already a large
number of sturdy Danes, Swedes, and Norwe-
gians. OF the number of vessels given above
1856 were steamers, and it is a humiiating fact
for American pride and for our national honor
that but three of them sailed under the United
