why Irving Never Married.

1t was while engaged in writing his
history of New York, that Irving, then
a young man Of 26, was called to mourn
the somewhat sudden death of Matilda
Hoffman, whom he had hoped to call
his wife. This young lady was the sec

the eloquent jurist. IN her father

matrimonial alliance with Matilda.
Those high hopes we're disappointed by
the decease of the young lady on the
27th Of April, 1869, in the 18th year Of
her age. There is a pathos about II
wings recital of the circumstances OF
her death, and OF his own feelings, that
is truly painful and tear-impeiling. H.

was carried out according to programme.
The ambulance men advanced and

an officer for consultation. The officer

RECEPTION AT PUrrEEALA.

Putteeala, the capital of the province
or native p-ineipality of the same name,
is protected by a citadel as spacious,
though not so substantially or scientifi-
cally constructed, as Fort Hamilton.
Fortificatjons in India seem to have
been built as retreats or places of safe
ty for the sovereign or his family. The
mother of the present prince res ides in
the citadel of Putteeala Arriving at
its gate, We came to halt, and we saw
through a cloud of dust the maharajah
coming toward us in 8 magnificent state
coach drawn by six white horses; the
highway, on either side, was lined with
out-riders and squadron of cavalry.
The prince, driving by the side of our
carriage, saluted Mr.. Seward with state
ly cordially. When the compliments
were ended, the maharajah asked Mr..
Seward in which manner be would pre-
fer to make his entrance into the capi-
tai whether he would go with him in
his coach, or whether he would be pleas
ed to make his entrance on the back of
an elephant. Mr.. Seward, difRdent
perhaps of his skill in the latter mode
of travel, or acting under conviction
that modesty best becomes a visitor,
accepted the offer of a seat In the
coach. The maharajah, taking his seat

LIFE AND MArrER.--Nothingr remains
at rest. If 4 single particle in a living
body were quiescent a etain of disaster
Gus consequences would quickly follow,
terminating in death. Such is the fact
respecting the necrosis Of any part Of
au injured bone. When the circulation
and deposition of new ossiRc materials
interrupted st any particular point
OF region, mortificat'on, gangrene and
throwing or of the dead portion i'm
mediately commences. We are per-
petually supplying the system with new
life material. That is accomplished by
food in the stomach. It is there put in
a condition to be waited all through
the body. On its route a particle is
dropped here and there, and at the
same instant an old one is removed.
As soon as the vitality of the new piece
has been impaired, it becomes from
that instant useless. Thus we are per
petually being renewed, and by eating
and drinking the supply is eqnal to the
demand. Thus may be explained a law
of the animal economy, how it is that
we have neither the same bones nor the
same flesh to-day that we had years ago.
Although identieally the same indivi,l-
uals, our bodies have been renewed re-
peatedly in the course Of an ordinary
lifetime. Whenever that process OF as
similation is interrupted-in other
words, when neither new matter is sup
piled ne- can the old be removed, as
when in heaItli-death is inevitable.
Therefore, it is self-evilent that every
particle Of nutriment is changed with q
definite amount of vitality. An aggre-
CATION of these elements eventuates IN
lige-force. Variously arranged, they
result in particular organic forms. and
who can say that this may not have an
important bearing on the gralation vi
intelligence from one type to another 10
the ascending scale of animal forms
from creeping things to man?
