THE HEART AND Pi'S DISEASES.
BY AX EMINENT rilYSICIAX.
It
is an interesting and important
fact
.More than a century has (named .since the
day Avhen it was den- ’ tl in that gloomy
mansion of tlic dead ; a d, ^-^haps, very
fevAt per.suns are at.juai; brief
>\'no.se aslies it
The Archduchess Mari.a Jnsepha was
llie faiiest, the gentlest, and the most be
loved of the six beautiful diiughters of
IHaria I'hiiresa and Francis of Lorraine.
The emperor idolized her, Hid the impe
rious empress-queen, who lad little time
or inclination to lavish caesses on her
children, was known to regard her with
peculitir indulgence. Coiiteaiporary Avri-
ters all agree in praising ilk' beauty, the
peculiar sAveetness of disp 'S tion, and the
winning grace Avhich mad' the young
archduchess so loA-ely aud so lovable;
Avhilst her passionate attacliment for her
family, and especially for licr father,made
her their idol. The sudden death of the
Emperor Francis In 176! was the first
shaduAv cast on the brigiit existence of
Joscplia ; and it is said tki.t from tltence-
forth a deep melancholy oppressed the
young archduclicss.
Time passed away ; the princess Avas
now in her sixteenth year, and rumors of
her approaching marriagf had already
been for some months in circulation,when
it Avas officially announetd that the hand
of Maria Joscqiha of Harpshiirg-Lgrrainc
had been plighted to the yiumg KingFer-

that the more grave diseases of tho heart | in every Avay briliiant and advantageous ;
are not painful, or but slightly so. X'ot
unfrcquently- the first di.sturbance of its
action Avhicli attracts attention indicates
an advanced and incunible stage of a di
sease that lias been in progress months,
and perhaps years.
Tlie converse of this proposition is em
inently true—namely, rervous tind func
tional disorders of the heart tire painful, or
otherAvisc distressing, often to an apparent
ly- alarming extent. IIoav many siilfer
from palpitation and believe they arc af
flicted with a fatal disease of the heart?
lIoAv many ha\'o “jiain .about the heart,”
aud cannot he convinced that theie is no
disease of tlnit organ ? How many htive

heart iiiust be in the lust stages of disor
ganization? It Avill interest this chiss of
real suiferers to learn some of tho causes
of tlieir distress, and to Avhat their suffer
ings may be attributed.
Palpitation and irregular action of tlie
heart are often experienced in persons be
tween the ago of sixteen and tAventy years;
they- are, or have generally' been, grow
ing rapidly, are of delicate appearance,
and frequently are addicted to some vi
cious habits. In such persons, the blood
is thin and poor, and the heart and nerves
fail to perform their proper function for
Avaiit of support. Derangement cf the
stomach often gives ris(5 to these symp
toms, and they may' persist for a long pe
riod from this ctiusc. A lady- Avho for
years sutfered from violent paroxysms of
j)ali)itation, Avhich many' physieitiiis at
tributed to organic disiiasc of the heart,
happeiicd on one occasion to take some
jiK-dicine Avhich induced vomiting, and
this act Avas followed by immediate re
covery. Subsequently', whenever she
had the symptoms of an approaching at-
t.ack of palpitation, she resorted to an
of the iniperia
i ALiria I’lii
of her boantiful dtiughtu
matrimonial. The
it secured an iniiuential arl iiuportant ally
to the Aus'rian empire: it increased the
dignity' of the imperial family ; und it en
abled .Maria d’berosa to ctcirclc the broAV
with a croAvn
mapiage-treaty Avas
signed, the preparation? completed, and
the biitrothal took place ei the Sih of Au
gust, 17G7. The cmpi ss Avas radiant
Avith smiles, the court pit: aside the mour
ning and gloom which li.d hung over it
since the eitipernr’s derth, and became
i once more tin; scene of giyety’ and s[)leu-
dnr. Fetf'S, balls, cntcf tiiimfuts ot eve

imjierial bride hei.scl7' • ^
From the nioment Avla n the fact of her
betroth,tl to Ferdinand of Naples had been
announced to Iter,.! u.'^iq.La’s deej) melan
choly' had stoadily incr ased. Day by-
day' .“be bectime more glojiiiy' aud depress-
(d. .'■^be sliowt d no iiilLiest in the pre
parations for Iter jounn y. She ap}n ared
indeed ;it the court festivities, but it Avas
evident that her tliongliL- Avere far otlier-
wise ocenpied. jMuie llein once she Avas
heard to declare that her marriage Avoitld
never take place, and tli. t the journey to
Naples Avould never be undertaken by
her. But no one heeded the princess’
prediction. The day'- for her marriage by
proxy Avas fixed, and ;lso that for her
quitting \'ienna.
The evening before ;lic
the empress sent fur he- daughter, and
commanded her to reimn alone to the im
perial vault; and thc're^ kneeling by lier
father’s coffin, to pray- for the repose ol
his soul. Tlic archduchess shrank from

Tea, and especially green tea, is very-
liable to distJiib the heart’s action when
used by’ susceptible jtersons. And there
is no doubt that an immense nuinher of
j)crsons in every community' suffer from
minor forms of heart derangement, due to
the use of tea. A physician once called
upon a brother phy-sician, in great abuui,
saying : “I have called upon you to rc-

over baggage and a dreary wtiiting at the
railway depot flie train started for Atliens,
about four miles distant. In a fcAv min
utes all disappointment ceased. Close on
our right, Avhere Ave stojiped, was the
Temple of Theseus, in all its exquisite
proportions, tinted with the pencil of more
than twenty centuries, its noble peristy'le
complete, not one of the columns which
at first surronnded it missing, and many
of sculptured metopes still in their places.
This is one of the most ancient and most
perfect specimen of the Doric temple ex
isting ; aud, though it is small, y'et its
proportions are so perfect that the only
impression is one of i^uiet majesty. There
are six columns in the portico at each end
and thirteen along the side, reckoning the
corner column twice But Ave could only
glance at this temple ; for just above rose
the Acropolis in majestic beauty croAvned
with the ruins of the Parthenon.
“A few minutes sufficed at the hotel for
personal arrangement.^, and then Ave has

marble steps, its grand pillars and the re-
miiins of its beautiful sculpture. On our
right Avas the elegant littleTemnle of Vic

wild confusion, obstructing, yet nniking

the most sublime slirine of the heathen

but its side, in glorious perspective of col

its fiiezp ; the jicrfcction of combined
beauty and simplicity which all the rava
ges of Avar and all the cannon balls lying
about among the ruins have failed to oblit
erate. In the centre of the rocky plat
form and at the side of the temple rose the
gigantic bronze image of Minerv’a, Avhose
glittering helmet soared above every' oth

were the remains of an Ionic temple, the
Erectheum, Avitli its Carytides supporting
one of its jiorticos. Wc looked down
over the garapet upon modern Athens—a

But, alas ! how many are there who

seek sanctnary* in our fraternal .asy’lum to
cloak their iniquity' and misconduct! No

tranrferred from the craft of his profane

It has been our fortune or misfortune

REMARKABLE RAINS.
There are, sometimes, rc.al showers of
very’ unreal rain It is stated Ly on old
Avriter that in Lapland and Finmark,
about a century' ago, mice of a peculiar
kind were to known to fall from the sky;
and that such an event Avas sure to be
folloAvcu by a good y’car for foxes. A
sboAA er of frogs fell, near Toulouse, in
1504. A prodigious number of black in
sects about ten inches in length, descended
in a snow itorm at Pakroff, Russia, in

At Stanstead, in Kent, in 1SC6, a past
ure field was found one morning covered
plentifully Avith fish, although there is
neither se.i nor river, lake nor fish pond
near. At Allahabad, in 1S30, .an Eng
lish officer saw a good sin.art down-pour
of fish, and soon alter thousands of small
dead fish were found on the ground.—
Scotland has had many of these showers
of fish, as in Rosshirc, in 1829, Avhen
quantities of herring covered tho ground ;
at Islay, in 1S30, when a number of her
rings Avere fpund strcAvn over a field after
a heavy’ gust of rain ; at Wick, much more
n'cently', Avhen herrings were found in
large quantities in a field a mile away
from the beach. In all these, .and nu
merous other c.ascs, Avhen a libcr.al .allow
ance has been made for exaggeration the
rfmainder can be explained by avcII un
derstood causes.
Strap winds bloAving from the sea or
river; a woterspout licking up the fish
out of the AA'atcr; a AvhirlAvind sending
them hither and thither—all these are in
