A REFLECTION. If (hose bright orbs which gem thn night, He each a blisslul dwelling sphere, Where kindred spirits re-unite, Whom fate hath torn asunder here: How sweet it were at once to dio, And leave this dreary world alar Meet soul and soul, and cleave the sky, And soar away from star to star. Bat oh how dark! how drear and lone Would seem the brightest world of bliss, If, wandering through each radiant one, We failed to meet the loved of this! If there no more those ties could twine, Which death alone had power to sever, Those stars would then in mockery shine More hateful as they shine forever! It cannot be! each hope and fear That lights the eye, or clouds the brow, Proclaims there is a happier sphere, Than the dark world which claims us now There is a voice, by sorrow heard, When heaviest weighs life's galling chain, That voice is the Almighty's word: 'The pure in heart shall meet again." LOVE. It is a soft magnetic stone, Attracting hearts by sympathy; Binding up close two souls in one, Both discoursing secretly! 'Tis the gordian knot that ties, Yet ne'er unbinds; Fixing thus two lovers' eyes, As well as minds! FRIENDSHIP. No flowery vales, nor verdant scenes So sweet a fragrance can impart As friendship's tender evergreens, Nourished by memory in the heart. tt?"T!ic talented and witty Editor of tiio New York Evening Star, gives the following account of a "Lady Lecturer," who has recently made her debut before the inhabitants of that city: Female itinerant lecturing. A Mrs. Hamifcon, from Paisley, who announces herself as a "female reformer," who is on a tour through Scotland, held forth sev eral times to crowded houses of both sex es. The reformation of her own sex she declares to be one of the grand objects of her labors. Hhe complained loudly, and in no very delicate terms, of the tyr anny with which males lorded it over fe males, and advised the latter to be ruled no longer. In handling this part of the subject, she said the apostles were taught to become fishers of men, and (shaking her first toward the women) she ad ded "I will teach you how to become fishers of men" a sentiment which ex cited great laughter and applause, with smiles of approbation, from the female part of the audience, in which she hearti ly joined. She continued "The apos tles, when met by their Master, had toiled all night, and caught nothing; and many of you, my dear sisters, have been toilino all your lives, and got nothing either and why were you so unsuccessful? Just because your nets were thrown out on the wrong side of the ship; but throw out your nets on the right side, and take my word for it, you will bring shoals of fresh fellows to land." This declaration was received with great applause. She rnade her second appearance on Friday, in the same place, and delivered her promised lecture on Phrenology. After folding up her handkerchief in the form of a brain, and setting it down before her on the desk, she bean to clcscrihn hnw nil the bad thoughts, words and actions of themselves completely free. (Immense r .1 r v ci i i applause irom tne ieniaies.; one Knew that her doctrine would not be acceptable to some, but she was not going to take the ass on her back to please one party, and again get on his back to please an other party. No! She would pursue the truth in a straight way and independent course. Old father Prejudice and old brother Superstition would both be dis pleased at her proceedings; but she dis regarded the one, and despised the other; and as for the much respected old lady, she was now getting so worn and wrink led, that it was lii;li time to prepare her winding sheet. (Great cheering.) Af ter speaking nearly two hours and half in the same strain, she concluded with an intimation, that a gentleman from Glas gow would deliver a lecture on Wednes day evening on Tower of Babelism. Physiological. Some celebrated Phy siologists have lately expressed an opin ion that intense agony is felt after decol lation, in both the head and body; and have performed a variety of experiments in order to ascertain the fact. They have satisfactory settled in their own minds 1. That after the decapitation, pain is prolonged for some time. 2. That the head retains feeling nearly until the ex tinction of vital heal. 3. That death by the Guillotine is one of the most painful k now i). If these philosophers err not, a person can derive but little satisfaction from the prospect of being Guillotined. Hut for criminals condemned to decapitation, though unfortunately for the theorists, a case lately occurred in Ticonderoga, N. Y. which settles the question as far as the body is concerned, and proves that no sensation whatever can exist in tne body, after its connexion with the brain is dissolved. 1 he case is a curious one, and we give it as related in the Boston Med ical and Surgical Journal. "E. D. aged 50, a man of hale consti tution and robust in making an effort to j scale a board fence, was suddenly pre cipitated backwards to the ground; strik ing first upon the superior and anterior portion of the head, which luxated the dentatus anteriorly on the third cervical vertebra. lie was at length discovered, and taken in (as the patient said) after he had lain nearly an hour, in a condition perfectly bereft of voluntary motion; but being present I did not even suspect that the power of sensation was also gone, un til the patient (whose speech remained al most or quite perfect, and who was un commonly loquacious at that time) said, did he not know to the contrary, he should think he had no body. His flesh was then punctured, and sometimes deeply even from the feet to the neck; but the patient gave no evidence of feeling, and when interrogated, answered that lie felt nothing; nnd,' added he, 'I never was more perfectly free from pain in my life,' but he remarked that he could not live, and accordingly sent for his family, twelve miles distant, and arranged all his vari ous concerns in a perfectly sane manner. The head was thrown back in such a position as to forbid his seeing his body. The pulse were much more sluggish than natural. Respiration and speech but slightly affected, but were gradually fail ing; but he could articulate distinctly un til within a few minutes before his death. All the senses of the head remained quite perfect to the last. He died forty-eight hours after the fall. Repeated attempts were made to reduce the dislocation, but the transverse process had become so intnrlnrlcH tlmt - j iiiut s I f I . m. effort proved abortive.
