A PKEMOMRHON FOR PHISIOLOGIsn.
Ou t(*c 4th inst. two young n>en wlio wen
bathing in the River near C.istle Garden, His
appeared under water at the moment of firing
n salute from some heavy pieces of artillery
which were contiguous. Tliey remained un
der longer titan is generally the case in diving,
ond on rising to the surface were observed to
act in such an extraordinary manner that it
was evident something of an unusual nature
had occurred to tiiem. They were immediately
taken out of water and brought to the shore
when it was discovered that both of them had
lost their senses ; and so entirely that they were
unab'e to explain how they had been affected
or what sensations they felt at the moment.
Their insanity was not ofa violent description,
but rather what might be termed idiotic ; and
accompanied with a prostration of every in
tellectual faculty. In this melancholy condi
tion tliey remained two days, at the end of
which time one of tliein partially recovered his
reason, hut the other still remains without any
symptoms of amendment. Wc have, ourselves,
experienced tl»e, singular effect which is pro
duced upon the brain while under water, bv
the agitation of the air above from the firing of
a pistol and those who have once tried tlie
experiment have no desire to r -peat it. Fishes
are frequently killed by shooting a blank cart
ridge over them wlien near the surface, and a
similarefTect may be produced by striking upon
the ice with a heavy stick. New-Yorker.
RASHNESS.
Rashness is a great enemy to prudence.
Tiic natural vivacity and warmth of youth
and of people of sanguine tempers, makes this
folly very conspicuous in them. It is remark
able that on most points of decorum, the fe
male sex have the advantage of us. This
cannot he owing to any difference in natural
abilities, or to greater experience or knowl
edge of the world—but to tlie natural timidity
of their tempers, joined with tlie delicacy of
their education, which prevents t'acir behaving
in the forward and precipitate manner we of
ten do, to tlie disparagement of our prurience
and the disappointment of our designs.

We are born to trouble and xve may depend
upon it while wc live in this world we shall have
it, though with intermissions—tlial is, in what
ever state wc are. we shall find a mixture o!
good and evil; and therefore the true way to
contentment is to know how to receive tliese
different vicissitudes of life, the returns of good
nnd evil, so as neither to be exalted by the one
or overthrown by tlie other, but to bear our.
selves towards everv thing which happens with
such case and indifference of mind, as to
hazard as little as may he. This is the true
temperate climate fitted us by nature, and in
which every wise man would wish to live.

He is a good man who grieves rather for
him that injures him, than for his own suflbr

A Northern paper remarks that Victoria is
very partial to the Americans—one evidence
of which is, that she takes one copy of a Bos

WARM WEATHER.
I have sometimes heard the extravagant ex

but I have never before experienced that tlie
weather was hot enough to hatch chickens.
Ou Monday of tlie present week, a hen
which had been sitting in the corner of tlie
barn near the roof, was taken from her nest
with a brood of ten chickens, which she had
produced by the' usual process of incubation.
Tnere were several eggs left in the nest which
had been laved there by otlier liens after she
began to sit. On Tuesday, a chicken was
taken from the nest, brisk and lively, which
had been hatched out by the warmth of the
sur:o inding atmosphere (the hen having been
in the vard below alxiut thirty-six hours.) On
Wednesday another chicken was taken from
the same nest, hatched in the same manner ;
and on Thursday a third egg in tlx* same nest
was discovered to be crocked, containing a
live chicken, which was taken and put under
another hen. N«*w-//aVen /Afraid.

Commerce and Manufactures : The wings of the

Tlie Rev. Dr. Griffin, in an eloquent address before

appealed to that sex, who, like ministering angels, love
to hover about the chambers of sickness—who owe so

beautiful quotation :

Not she denied him with unholy tongue ;
She, when apostles shrunk, could dangers brave,

At the residence of Mr. T Murid, s, on Thursday, the
13th instant, Mrs. CHARLOTTE MARY FUR
LOW, wife of T-SM. Furtow, Esqdof this county.
It is with the deepest feelings, occasioned by the
gloom which the recent death of Mrs. Furlow has
thrown over her numerous friends and connections,
that the writer of this obituary fu fils h.s mournful task
—a task that weighs the mind down with regret cn sl
ed by past associations, and by the DieUtnclroiy reflec
tion, that words cannot gild the memory of the departed
dccd*-excite » kceher sensibilby-“add another tear —
or, if intended to alleviate grief, suppress a single emo
tion in the hearts of those who w ere linked to her m lihj
by the blended strength of affection, sympathy and affi
nity.
The characteristic features in the lives of disunguish
cd personages are easily perceived, and as easily |>en
cilied. But how different is it even with the siucerest
friend, to select for eulogy, or to recall with pleasure,
prominent traits in the character of a female whose
whole history is comprehended i:i the limited circle of
friendly association—in that quiet and r.renmlikc ex
istence, not the less tributary to the earthly happiness
of others, because of its remoteness from the st irtny
agitations of a bid world. The present occasion allbrds
an example of affliction very dilferent from the ordinary
occurences that mark the brief passage of tl c early
dead, from life to the cold quiet of the grave. Pi ter
indeed must have been this dispensation of Providence
to the fiw remaining kindred, who scarce Insure the
flower* of another spring had bloomed and shed their
hallowed sweetness over it father's grave, are again ga
thered logt-tlier to follow a sister to her last sad resting
place ou val'li But u4rw months since, flushed in the
joyoiianrm of health, how little w as her untimely death
anticipated ! Who thought then that her "vAion bright
but brief," w as so soon to be as
“ Pure as the dew drop, freed front earthly leaved.
That sparkles, is exhaled, and blends with heaven."
She wRs in her twenty-first year, nnd was not old
enough t ■ know sorrow, //er heart had not yet known
the sear and blight “ which aututnn plants upon the
perished leaf,” bit'moving in her own legitimate sphere,
ihe domestic circle, chec red and encouraged by nn af
fectionate husband, loved by the most devoted of bro
thers, and a sister whore every wish ond syni| ttf.y
was responsive to her own, sustained and animated by
troops of ardent friends, and prosperous in all that this
word “holds best and brightes', the slight Suf
ferings of earth were to her but the shades that checker
the landscape of a glad erection.
We are not prompted by the cold ceremony of obi
tuary notices, when w e say, that her min ■ was refined
and chastened by an excellent education, elevated by n
just conception (if the’best authors in our language, aid
mellowed by that discriminating taste, and deep reflec
tion which furnished alike ornament to conversation
and patlio* to sentiment. Freed from the petty a flee
ta ion of her sex by an enlarged and liberal understand
ing, and endowed as she eminently was by nature wi It
that antinhle softness of disposition which, nt ti e same
time, attracts and fascinates, those who at first only PS*
teemed her as a friend, at length came to love her as »
sister. No matter whether she moved in the path of
animated society, or in the calm privacy of denies: c
life, she displayed in both, that aminbieness of and spi si
tion and social flow of spitl s which springing in early
yauth from a happy temperament and a well cultivated
inind, was, in later years, chastened and beautified by
the mild influences of the Christian religion. Wc need
not then inquire the reason of her being beloved as a
wife, almost adored as a sister, appreciated as u friend,
and admired and respected as a Christian.
then, her virtues w hich endeared her to so ma
ny, and bvsueh fond relations, inspire those who now
so feelingly deplore her early fate with the belief, hat
though her caret r was as the summer’s cloud, that .the
has passed away into that fhr realm, where the rainbow
never fadrs, w here the stars shall he spread out lefbre
us like islands that slum! er on the ocean, and w here
all the devoted of our hopes and nffecth ns ou earh
shall be separated from us no more.
