translated twice besides obtaining warm
support from an eminent physician, DE-
Kohl. Moreover, the practical Austrians

prived of their prescriptive rights, does
not seem very clear. We can only wish
success to an experiment which Will be

to Mrs. Grundy's unaccountably strong
feelings. But when the furnace system
becomes fashionable on the Continent OF
Europe it will spread by degrees, and the
more advanced spirits among us will not
be slow to defy prejudice by nobly be-
gu ,athing 'their works to all ages, their
bodies to the consuming fire."
