blood Immediately rushes to the head
and soon deprives it of all conscious
ness. The efforts to inhale the air,
which are kept up for some time after
the cord is attached, and causes such
violent movements of the chest and
extremities, arise from the influence
of the spinal marrow, whose sensibility
is not SO soon DESTROYED by the con-
gestion of blood as that of the brain.
Persons who die by decapitatiOn
most probably suffer more, though
their pain is only mOmentaly this is
the case with those who blow out their
brains. The sensation produced by
a ball passing though the body would
be difficult to describe BY one who has
never experienced it, but it is some
thing singular in this case that those
who are shot, although the "leadeI
messenger of death" may not have
penetrated any essentilly vital organ,
Immediately fall 10 the earth, appar-
emily under an irresistible feeling of
their approaching return to dust, eX-
claiming, as it were, inYoluntarily, 81

the few moments which are consumma-
ted in the ebbing of life, must occasion
unutterable feelings of agony, indie
| pendent of the mere sensations of pain

of the blade. The rushing out OF the

not expire instantly unless the Uranium
happens to be involved in the casualty.

of home, friends and family, and all is

heavily burdened railroad carriage,
must experience some similar sensa-
ton.
If the neck is broken low down the
person does not necessarily die on the
instant. His situation is the most dis
tressing of any which can be imagined.
He may live and have a being for days;

express all the passions, feelings and
emotions ; but beyond the motions of

turbance of his position is liable to
launch him at once into eternity.

in state of insensibility for a length
of time, melancholy spectacle to his
friends. In poisoning from arsenic a
| great amount of suffering is under
go2e. The sensibility of the stomach
is exceedingly acute when inflamed,
and the effect of arsenic is to produce a
fatal inflammation of the yiscus. Prussic
acid is rapid, and acts by paralyzing
the brain.
In rejecting on the horrors which
death presents under these different
aspects of violence the mind becomes
overcome with disgust. We cannot do
better than turn to the contemplation
of its features III the middle course of
disease, where, if the mind be at ease,
the final exit is made without any of
those. revolving exhibitions of bodily
suffering.

sensations When pying.

The popular ideas relative to the suf-
ferincs of persons on the point Of
death are erroneous. The appearance
of extremer agony which is often pre-
sented under these circumstances is
due to mere muscular agitation, indie
pendent of any extraordinary sensibili-
ty of the nerves of feeling. Those
who die a natural death in the very last
stages of existence are scarcely con-
seious of bodily suffeTing-not more
than they are frequently to the atten-
tions and solicitude of friends.
Those who die by violence or acct
dent undoubtedly experience a degree
Of pain prop0rtionate to the extent OF
the bodily mutilation. Hanging is
undoubtedly an unpleasant mode of
death but few, after all, shuttle off
this mortal coil more easily than those
who are suspended by the neck. 1t is
akin to drowning in this respect. The

LIZ ROI EST MORT.

LIZ ROI EST MORT ~E
We knew that the Year was dying SA-4
When the midnight chimes began
Low on his death-bed lying,
Like WORKOUT, aged man.
The King, who ruled for a twelvemonth,
With proud and royal sway,
Must give up his crown and scepter
When the New Year cries, "Make way"
His earthly journey was finished,
And so We watched him GO;
Old Time came in with his hour-glass,
And finished him with blow.
He was old and wretched and broken;
We hurried him off at last,
And glad good-by was spoken;
We pushed him into the past
So long as the Year was with us,
To use him well we tried;
We gave him Christmas dinner
The week before he died.
But his guilty conscience was weighted
With many dreadful crime -
We looked at his corpse, and hated
To think how he spent his time.
No chance for shriit we allowed him,
But buried him in his sin;
With the soft white snow we shroud him,
And carefully wrap him in.
We dug him grave with laughter,
And smiled as we laid him there;
We shoveled the earth in after,
q And packed il down with care.
And back to the earth he never
Can make his way again;
He has finished his work forever
Among the sons of men;
He'll never unlock that portal
So long as the ages roll
There was nothing about him immortal;
The gray-beard had no soul.
And the sorrow that he brought with him,
The care, the shame, the sin,
Wen try to bury them with him
His grave shall lock them in.
No mouners are bending DER him;
No hand q watch-fire keeps:
With those who have gone before him
The uncrowned monarch sleeps.

As to to the general question of amnesty, Mr.
