MISCELLANEOUS 



V/ONDERFUL STRUCTURE OF THE 

 HEART. 



Tlie wisdom of tlie Creator, says a distinguished 

 anatomist, is in nothing seen more |Tloriously than 

 in the heart. And how well does it perforin its 

 office! An anatomist who understood it-s struc- 

 ture, might say beforehand that it would play ; but 

 from the complexity of its mechanism and the deli- 

 cacy of many of its parts, he must be apprehensive 



grave. The memory of so faithful an animal should 

 be immortalized with a marble monument. — R"- 

 Itigh Register. 



LINKS. 

 "Honest industry has brought that mm to the 

 scaffold," said a wag, as he observed a carpenter 

 upon the staging. 



Speaking of wags — what is more waggish than 

 a dog's tail when he is pleased ?

Speaking of hogs— we saw one of those animals n,„ui,| i.oat 



stroke a great resistance to overcome ; and it con 

 tinues this action for this length of lime without 

 disorder and weariness. That it should continue 

 this action for this length of time without disorder, 

 is wonderful : that it should be capable of contmu- 

 ing it without weariness, is still niofe astonishing. 

 Rest would have been incompatible with its func- 

 tions. While it slept llie whole machinery must 

 have stopped, and the animal inevitably perish. It 

 was necessary that U should be made capable of 

 working forever, without the cessation of a mo- 

 ment—without the least degree of weariness. It

 constructing it, can in nothing be exceeded but

ger. The man was drunk— the hog was sober. 

 " A hog is known by the company he keeps," thought 

 we: so thought Mr Porker— and off he went. 



Speaking of going off, puts us in mind of a gun 

 we once owned. It went off one night and we 

 hav'nt seen it since. — .V. Y. Mercury. 



ADVANTAGES OF SCIENCE. 

 Mr Holbrook, of Medford, the celebrated bell- 

 founder, who has put up a clock upon the Baptist 

 church in this town, the present week, gave us a 

 little incident of his life, which is worth relating, 

 if nothing more than to show the importance of a 

 knowledge of chemistry. An immense pile of cin- 

 ders and dross had accumulated near his foundry, 

 which were supposed to be nearly worthless, and 

 was used to fill up stone walls, &c. A foreigner 

 who happened to be in town, e.\amincd the pile 

 one day, and offered one hundred dollars for it. So 

 large a /price excited Mr H.'s suspicion that the 

 cinders might contain valuable metal, and he do. 

 clined selling it. The man then offered two hun- 

 dred dollars, which of course confirmed his opin- 

 ion, and after a little parley the stranger acknowU 

 edged that he was acquainted with a process by 

 which valuable metal might be extracted from the 

 cinders, which he offered to divulge for a small 

 compensation. A furnace and apparatus was con- 

 structed according to his direction, and when the 

 whole pile was run through, the mass of neglect- 

 ed rubbish yielded a nett profit of thirteen thousand 

 dollars! So much for knowing " how to do it." — 

 I/ynn Fruman. 



SAGACITY IN A HORSE. 

 A young lady while crossing a river in South 

 Carolina, a short time since, on horseback, was, by 

 a blunder of the horse, accidentally thrown off in- 

 to the stream. She was borne do" n .some distance 

 by the current. When the animal recovered its 

 feet and found that its rider had been placed in so 

 perilous a situation, it immediately went in pursuit, 

 overtook the fair prize, caught her garments in its 

 teeth, and carried her triumphantly and safely lo 

 the shore, thus saving a life which otherwise, in 

 all prubobility, wo'ild hare been lost in a watery 



VERY AFFECTING. 

 The most soul-stirring scene we have heard of 

 lately, took place at Detroit. The passengers had 

 all got aboard the steamboat, and it was about leav- 

 ing the wharf, when an old gentleman came on 

 board crying out, " My son, my son, I must see 

 him a moment." " Well," said the captain, " hunt 

 him up quick." Anon he came to a great over- 

 grown boy, of 18 or 19 years of age, and giving 

 him a single copper, he cried nut, " Here Nehemi- 



ah, take this, and don't forget your daddy .'" llba-

GKINDSTOXES, ON FRICTION ROLLERS. 



Grindstones of different sizes hun^ on friclion rollers and 

 moved with a foot trcader, is found to be a great improve- 

 ment on the present mode of hanging grindstones. The 

 ease with which they move upon the rollers, renders them 

 very easy to turn with the foot, by which the labor of one 

 man is saved, and the person in the act of grinding, c.m 

 "overn the stone more lo his mind by having the eomplele 

 control of his work. Stones hung in this manner are be- 

 coming daily more in use, and wherever used, give univer- 

 sal satislaction. The rollers can be attached lo stones hun 

 in Ihe common way.
