WONDERS OF THE HUMAN SYSTE Paley applauds the contrivance by which everything we eat and drink is made to glide on its road to the gullet, over the entrance of the wind-pipe without falling into it. A little movable lid, the epigiottis, which is lifted up when we breathe, is pressed down upon the chink of the air-passage by the weight of the food and the action of the muscles in swallow- ing it. Neither solids nor liquids, in short, can pass without shutting down the trapdoor as they proceed. But this is only a part of the safeguard. The slit at the top of the wind-pipe, which never closes entirely while we breathe, is endued with a keen sensibili- ty to the slightest particle of matter. The least thing which touches the margin of the aperture causes its sides to come firmly togeth- er, and the intruding body is stopped at the inlet. Lt is stopped, but, unless removed, must drop at the next inspiration into the lungs. Toeffect its expulsion the sensibility of the rim at the top of the wind-pipe actually puts into vehement actiona whole class of muscles placed lower thaa its hottem, and which, compress the chest, ever which they aro distribute drives out the air with a force that sweeps the offending substance before it. The convulsive coughing which arises when we are choked is the energetic effort of nature for our relief when anything chances to have evaded the protective epiglottis. Yet this property, to which we are constantly owing our lives, is confined to a single spot in the throat. It does not, as Sir Charles Bell affirms, belong to the rest of the wind-pipe, but is limited to the orifice, where alone it is needed. Admirable, too, it is to observe, that while thus sen- sitive to the most insignificant atom, it bears without resentment the atmospheric currents which are incessantly passing to and fro over its irritable lips. ‘It rejects, says Paley, “the touch of a crumb of bread, or a drop of wate with a spasm which convulses the whole fram: yet, left to itself and its proper orifice, the in- tromission of air alone, nothing ean be so quiet. It does not even make itself felt; a man does not know that he hasa tracdea. This capa- city of perceiving with such acutencss, this impatience of offence, yet perfect rest and ease when let alone, are properties, one would have thought, not likely to reside in the same sub- ject. Itis to the june » however, of these almost inconsistent qualities in this as well as in some other delicate paris of the bedy, that we owe our safety and our comfort—our safet: to their sensibility, ourcomfort to their repose. Another of the examples adduced by Bell is that of the heart. The famous Dr. Harvey examined. at the request of Charles [., a noble- man of the Montgomery family, who, in conse: quence of an abscess, had a fistulous opening into the chest. though which the heart could be seen and handled. ‘The great physiologist was astonished to find it insensible. “I then brought him,.”’ he says, *- te the King, that he might behold and touch so extraordinary a thing, and that he might perceive, as I did, that unless when we touched the outer skin, or when he saw our fingers in the cavity, this young nobleman knew pot that we touched the heart.’’ Yet it is tothe heart that we refer eur joys, our sorrows, and our affections ; we speak of a good-hearted, a hard-bearted, a true hearted anda heartless man. Shielded from physica! violence by an outwork of bones, it is not invested with sensations which could have contributed nothing to its preservation, but while it can be grasped with the fingers, and give no intimation of the fect to its possessor, it unmistakably responds to the varied emo- tions of the mind, and by the general conseut of mankind is pronuenced the seat of our plea- sures, gifts, sympathies, hatrels and Jove Persons have frequently dropped duwn dead from the vehemence h which it contracts or expands upon the sudden announcement of good or bal news—its muscular walls being strained too far in the upward or downward direstion te enable them to return -and one of the purposes which this property uf the heart is probably designed to subserve is to puta check upuen the passions through the alarming physical sensations they excite. ihe brain, again, is enclosed in a bony cate; All our bodily sensations are dependent upon the nerves, but even the nerves do not give , unles they are in conncetion with the brain. The nerveas chord which, in familiar language, is ealled the spinal marrow, is the channe! by which this communication is kept up as tw the major part of them, and when the section of what may be termed the great trunk read fur the veyance of our sensa- tions is diseased. and by the breach in its con- tinuity the nerves below the disurdered part ean no longer send its accustomed intelligence to the brain. the porti f the body which thus become io'ated may urned or hacked. and noe more pa n will result thamif it belonged toa dead earcase instead of tu aliving man. The e.in subordination to the mn a y, itis itself insensivle to the wounds which are torture to the skin, and which wounds the brain alone enables us to feel. “ Itis as insensible,”’ says Sir Charles Bell, ** as the leather of our shee, and a piece may be cutoff without interrupting the patient in the sentence that he is uttering. Because the bone which envelopes it is its protection against injuries from without, it has no percep- tron of them when directed inst its own fabric, though it is at t me time the sole souree of the pain which those injuries inflict upon the other portions of the system. Bat the skull is no defence against the effects of imiemperance, or a vilia'ed atmosphere, or too great mental toil. To these consequently the sawe brain which has been created insensible to the cut of the knife, is rendered fully ative, and giddiness, headaches, and apoplectic op- pression gives ample notice to us to stop the evil, unless we are prepared to pay the penal- ty —Loudon Quarterly. Prevutariries or tus Dirrenent Styies or Mopexs Carrets —Carpets are composed wholly or partly of wool, and are made in several ways. The simplest form is composed ot a striped woullen warp on a thick woof of linen thread, as in the so-eailed Venetian Kidderminster. or ingrain carpeting, is com- posed of two wecks, each consisting of a separ- ate warped woof, the two being ialerwoven at intervals to produce the figures, as the two webs arc passed at intervals through each other, each part being at one time abore and at the other below; when different colors are used the figure will be the same on both sides, but the colors will be reversed—these are made e tirely of wool. Brussels carpeting has a basiv composed of warp and woot of streng linen thread ; in the warp there is added to every two threads of linen ten threads of woolen of different colors—the use of the linen being to Lind the worsted together, and it is not visible on the upper surface. The woolen threads aro from time to time drawn up in loops to form the figures: each row passes over a wire, which is withdrawn without eutting the yarn. In the Witton car, ig the yarn is cut; in the Turkey carpets, which are made entirely of woul, the loops are larger and always cut—the cutting of the yarn giving the eppearance of velvet. The Wilton carpets are thus in fact only Bras- sels carpets. A three-ply carpet has three thicknesses of cloth, each of which is perfect in itself, so that if one cloth were cut away the other—if it were a two-ply—wouid remain per- fect, resembling a coarse baize.

A Resstan Bara.—During the latter part of this journey I was suffering much from my knee; I aiso began to feel the effets of a violent cold, caught during the storm on the Tchousso- waia, and was apprehensive that I should be laid up with afever. On entering the direc- tor’s room after my arrival at the Zaved, notic- ing my indisposition, he immediately ordered tea; bis next step was to send fora physician. In the course of half an hour the latter arrived, and, seeing the condition [ was in, directed that I should at once go to bed, while a Russian bath should at once be prepared for me. This was commencing business in earnest. In due time the bath was got ready,to which I was carried by sturdy Cossucks. Hunving laid aside my last clothing, the body guard placed me on the top shelf of the bath room, within in an inch of the furnace, if I may go call it, and there steamed tilt [thought my individuality well nigh gone. After about forty minutes of drubbing ani flog- ging with a bundle of birch twigs, leaf and all, till L had attained the true ¢ a well done eraw-fich, I was taken ont and treated to a pail ofcold water, dashed over me from head to fovt, that fairly electrified me. I found myself quite exhausted and helpless, in which condition I was carried back to bed. I bad searcely laid dowa ten minutes when a Cossack entered with a bottle of physic of some kind or other, large enough apparently to supply aregiment. The dvetor followed instead of preceding the apotbe- cary, and instantly gave me adose. Seeing that L survived the experiment, he ordered the man in attendance to repeat it every two hours dur- ing the night. Thanks to the Rursain bath and possibly the quantity cf medicine I had to swallow, the fever was furced, after a struggle of eight days, to beat a retreat. Av the expiration of this time a returning de- sire for green fields and mountain scenery con- vinced me that I might safely resume my jour- ney, whieh I was soon enabled to do.—Athin- son's Seberta. Disarrearance or Centarx Doas.—What was commonly called, in Paris, a curlix, ora certain kind of spaniel, is no more to be found, ys the Home Journal ; and its final disappear- ance is Curieusly accounted fur. The peculiar were already becoming rare, when the Countess of Norjac—ceasing to be a belle—be- stoved her whole sum of uncurrent affections upon one of these dogs. She lived for some years with almost no other society ; and finally died, leaving almost all her property to her friend Mademoiseile de Noirsonvelle, on one condttion—that she should not suffer this race of dogs to become extinct. ‘The fortunate old maid, who was in needy cir- cumstances, but for this pension, took the widower dog to her heart and home, and went busily to work getting him wives and securing a large beginning of perpetuity to his blood ; and for a year or two the puppy population of her neighborhood was //ttrr-ally large. But there were heirs whom their eccentric bequest had of course robbed. And the dogs that stood between them and what would else fall legally to their inheritance, were soon an object of attention. Inexplicable mortality be- gan tothin them out. They threatened to dis- appear altogether. Particularly it grew diff- in any corner of France, a female of that especial breed. Sut there were King Charles spaniels in Eng- land, so near alike to the carlin of France that intermarriages were industriously resorted to. Mademoiselle de Noirsonville, growing most agonizingly nervous on the subject, devoted all her powers of mind to the prevention of their extinetion. It is the subject, at present, of a suitatiaw. ‘She heirs of the Countess of Nor- jac insist that the will is void ; for that ne such dog as the carlin is now extant. The eminent edunsel on either side will go learnedly into tbis branch of /:tter-ature. “ Caxanp.’’—This word, now popularly used for a hoax, is French fur duck. and the origin of its new application is said to be the following amusing ‘‘sell’’ on the putlic “ To give a sly lift to the ridiculous piece of intelligence which the journals arc in the habit of publishing every morning, Cornelissen stated that an interesting experiment bad just been mide, caleulated to prove the extraordinary voracity of ducks Fiecsty of these animals had been placed together, and one of them hay ing been killed and cut up into the smallest possible pieces, feathers and all, and thrown to the other nineteen, had been gluttonously gob- bled up in an exceedingly brief space of time. Another was taken from the remaining nine- teen, aud being chopped small, like its prede- cessor, was served up to eighteen,and at once de- youred like the other ; and so on to the last, who was thus placed in the remarkable position of having eaten his nineteen companions in a won- | derfully short time! All this, most pleasantly narrated, obtained a success which the writer was tar from anticipating. for the story ran the rounds of all the journals in Europe. It then became almost forgotten for about a score of years, when itcame back from Ameriea, with amplication, which it did not boast of at the commencement, and with a regular certificate of autopsy of the body of the surviving animal, whose cesophagus was declared to have been | found seriously injured!
