Marvin gave, in a lecture, a physician’s view of death, bis subject being “The Phy- siology of Death.” The history of death embraces three perlods, the fabulous, the superstitious, and the ‘philosophical. The fabulous period was in mythological times, in which death was persovified as the god- dess Mors, the glance of whose eye was fatal; the superstitious era was that long period in which death was regarded as an instanta- neons change; @ stroke that came and cut off life from the whole body atonce. Ours is the philosophical age. Tne lecturer had experi- mented on dogs, to discover the order of time in which the senses die. To one dog he e arsineous acid. The second died instantly by an his introducing a needle into the medulla oblongata; and the third he bled to death. In the last the ord*r of death was, sight, taste, smell, hearing, touch; which established the fact that the senses disappear in the same order as they do in sleep. The human body is an aggrega- tion of cells. Lite is the sezmentation of these cells; death their disintegration. Each cel! dies for itself. Every moment cells are springing into life; every moment cells are dying. Our bedies aré composed of these liltie points. Take them away and there is nothing left of us but the convecting shreds. There are dead cells in your bedy,and wnen you are dead there will for some time con- Upne to be living ones. We shail ail at some Ume be resolved into carbonic acid, water and the mineral elements. The whole sur- face of our globe, said the speaker, has been dug over 128 times to bury its dead, even not reckoning the long ageof the world which is given it by mcdern science, and we inhale, We feed upon elements the very atoms, that have been living human beings before. The dead, he continued, live again, and we greet them In the perfume of the city, in the light flakes of snow, in the thousand leaves of the forest. Death, the doctor says, is painless. There is no moment in our lives in which molecular death is not goingon inus. The last words of a multitude of persons indicate tbat mere disintegration 13 painless. To die of cold after the first #gony is over, is a lnx- ury. Sois drowning. The smile of death, the placidity of death, comes to all features — the rigor mortis.
