The first symptom of approaching death with some is the strong presenti- ment that they are about to die. Ozanam, the mathematician, while in apparent health, rejected pupils from the feeling that he was on the eve of resting from his labors ; and he expir- ed soon afterofan apopleclic stroke. Fletcher, the divine, had a dream which shadowed out his impending dis- solution, and believing it to be a mer- ciful warning of Heaven. he sent for a sculptor andordercd his tomb. “ Be- gin your work forthWIth,” he said, at parting, “ there is no time to lose.”â€"- And unless the artist had obeyed the admonition, death would have proved the quicker workman of the two. Mozart wrote his requlem under the C(nviction that the monument he was raising to his genius would, by the power ofassociation, prove a universal monument to his remains. When life was fleeting very fast he called for the score, and musing over it, said, “ Did I not tell you truly that itias for my- self lhatl composed this dcath chant 7." Anolhcr great artist. in a different department. convinced that his hzind was about to lose his cunning. chose a subject emblematical of the coming event. His friends inquired the nature of this next design, and Hogarth rc- plied, "The end of all things.” “ In that case.” rejoined one, “there will be an end ofthe painter.” What was uttered in jest was answered in earnest, 1’1"]; NOE T0 F 11’ I E NDS 0R FOE S, L v 7 .IC/C-Mrvxoxxva/V-Lr _.

Our ancestors. who were prono to look in the air for causes which “7ch to be found upon the earth. attributh thcsc iiitimutitins to various supcrnuturul agcuctcs. John Huntcrhas solved the. mystery, if mystery it can be called. in a single sentence. “ \Vc sometimes,” he says “ feel within ourselves that we shall not live; for the living pnwcrs be- come weak, and the nerves communi- cate the intelligence to the brain.” His own case has often been quoted ' amongr the marvels of which he Offer- cd this rational explanation. He inti- mated. on leaving home, that if a dis- cussion which awaited him at the hospital took an angry turn, it would prove his dcnth. A colleague gave him the lie ; thccimrsc word vcrrifycd the prophecy. and he cxpircd inimcdi- zitcly in an adjoining room. Thurc was everything to lament in the cir- cumstance. but nothing at \\'lll('l1 to wonder, except that tiny iiitlivitluul could Show such disrespect to the great genius, a single year of whose exist- cncc was worth the united lives of his upponcnzs. Hunter, in uttering thc prediction, had only to take counsel in his own cxpcricncc, without the interâ€" vcuuon of invisible spirits. He had long labored uudcra disease of the heart. and he felt the disorder bud reached the point at which any sharp agitation would bring on the crisis.

Circumstances. which at another time would excite no attention. are ex- ccplcd for an much when health is fail- ing. The order for thc rcquiein with Mozart. the dream with Fletcher, turnâ€" ed the current of their thoughts to the grave. Foote, prior to his departure forthc Continent. stood contemplating the pic- ture Of a brother author. and ex- claimed, his eyes full Of lcurs. “ I’OOI' Weston!” In the some dejected tone he added, after a pause 2 “ Soon others shall say, ‘Poor Footc !‘ ” and, to the surprise ofhis friends, a few days prov- ed thc justice of his prognostication. The expectation of the event had a share of producting it; for a slight shock completes the destruction ofpros- irate energies. The case of Wolsey was singular. The morning before he died he asked Cavendish the hour, and was answer- ed, “ Past eight.” “ Eight of the clock 1” replied VVOlsey, “ that cannot be ;.eight of the clockâ€"nay, nay. it cannot be eight ofthe clock, for by eight Of the clock shall you lose your master.” The day he miscalculatcd, the hour came true. On the following morning. as the clock struck eight, his troubled spirit passed from life. Ca- vendish and thc bystanders thought he must have had a revelation ofthe time of his death; and from the way in which the fact had taken possession of his mind, we suspect that be relied on astrological prediction, which had the credit ofa revelation in his own esteem. Persons in health have died from the expectation of dying. It was once common for those who perished by violence to summon their destroyers to appear. within a stated time, before the tribunal Ofllicir God ; and we have many perfectly attested instances in which, through fear and rcniorse, the perpetrators withered under the curse, and died. Pestilence does not kill with the rapidity of terror. The protligzite a'bbess of a convent, the lriucess Gonzaga OfClCVcs, and Guise, the profligzile Archbishop of llheims, took it into their bondsâ€"for ;. jestâ€"to visit one ofthe nuns by night. and exhort her as a person who was visibly dying. While in the perfor- mance of thcir heartless scheme they whispered to each other, “ She is just departing.” She departed in earnest. Her vigor.instcud Ofdctrrctingtbc trick, sunk beneath the alarm ; and the pro- fane pair discovered, in the midst of5 their sport. that they were making merry with acorpse. THE FIRST SAW-MILL. . The old practice in making boards was to split up tlic logs with wedges; and inconvenient as the, practice was. it was no cosy thing to persuade thr- world that it could be. done in any but- tcr way. Saw-mills were first used iii Europe in the fifteenth century, but so lately as 1555, an English ambassa- dor, having:r seen :i snw- mill in France. thought it a novelty which deserved :ipnrticular description. It is amus- in};r to see how the aversion to labor- saviiig machinery has always agitated England. The first saw-mill was es- tablished by a Dutchman. in 1663; but the public outcry against the new- fzinglcdmnchinc was so violent, that the proprietor was forced to dccmiip with more expedition than ever did a Dutchman before. The evil wasthus kcpt out of England for several vears, or rather generations ; but in 1768, an unlucky timber merchant, hoping’ that after so long a time the public would be less watchful of its own interests. made a rush attenpt to construct another mill. The guardians of the public welfare, however, were on the alert, and a conscientious mob at once collcctcd and pulled the mill to picccs. Such patriotic spirit could not always last. and now though we have no- whcrc seen the fact distinctly slatcd, tht-rc is no reason to believe that sawâ€" mills are used in Englandâ€"Philadel- p/uu Ledger. “ NOT PROVEN. ” Much discussion has arisen as re- gards the precise meaning ofthe ver- dict lendcred in a Scottish Court, but much more doubt seems to exist as to the purport of he words“ Not Prov- en.” as rendered in the trial of Miss Smith atGlnsgow. for the poisoning of L‘ Angelic-r. On the best of auâ€" thority we understand that a verdict Of “ not guilty” in Scotland. gives it as the deliberate opinion of the jury that the party accused did notcommit the crime laid to his charge; conse- quently, the Panel, as the person is called, leaves the Court with his char- acter perfectly cleared Of that Offence. A verdict of “.Nol Proven” implies a strong doubt as to his innocence. al- though the proof of guilt is not cori- sidercd absolutely sufficient to warrant a verdict of "guilty”â€"eonsequently, although dismissed, suspicion still at-. tut-hes to the character ofthe accused. By the Scottish law “ noe man may twiizctbolc the knowledge of an As- size." which means. “can be twice subjected to trial before an Assize” for the some crimeâ€"Consequently. however clear the proof of his guilt. which may be afterwards Obtained, he can never be again tricd.â€"I)undas l V urdnr. THE HUnsoN's BAv TERRITORY.â€" Among the most interesting subjects brought before the American Scien- tific Association, lutcly in session at Montreal. is that concerning the cli- mate of the United States, of which a notice will be found elsewhere. We need say no more than this ; thatsinr‘e by for the greater part of the fertile wilds lands Of the United States are already taken up. and since the Rocky Mountains west ofthe Mississippi Vul- lry are sterile. for want Of a sufficient supply Ofruin, the land in the Valleys of the Red River and Saskatchewan must become vastly more valuable within uch years. For there. to the northward Of the barren plains, and separated from them only by a low range Of hills. are millions upon mill- ions of acres, not doomed by‘ the dry- uessofthc atmosphere to be desert. but fertilized by the wind which blows over them charged with moisture, and moreover irrigated by one. of the first rivers in America â€"Spcctator.

DISINFECTING AGENTS. Thch is no need of persons having unpleasant or unhealthy odors ai‘ounl tliiiii‘ premises, the mode being so easy to prevent it. The following are a few of the iv any recipes which might be given. The cost is very trifling, and the articles easily obtained: “l. (hie pint of the “ Liquor of Chloride oninc,” in on“ pailfull of water, and one pound of Chloride of Lime in another pailfull ofwatcr. This is perhaps the most effective, theoreti- cally and practically. of anv thing that can be used, and when .thrown into privy vaults, cesspnols, or upon decaying mitttcr of any description, will effectually destroy all offensive oders. The 00st of these substances IS 33 cents. “ 11. One pound of Sulphate onine, and one pound of Lime. dissolved separately. each in a pailfull of water. This is not :is effectual as the preced- ing, but will answer a very good pur- pose. VVill cost 20 cents. “ Ill. Three or four pounds of Sul- phate of Iron (Coppcrns), dissolved in one pnilfull of hot water, will in most cases, be sufficient to remove all offen- sive riders from privy vaults, ccsspools, 8L0. (70st, three or four cents per pound. ' “ IV One peek of charcoal dust thrown into a privy vault Once a week will filial/VHF every purpose. “ V. Chloride of Lime, costingr eight cents per pound, is best to scatter abnntdamp places, in yards. in damp cellars, and upon heaps of filth. ‘- V1. Take two ounces of Sugar of Lead and dissolve it into one pailfull of water, and add two ounces Of Ni- tric Acid (Aquaforlis) This forms Nitrate of Lead, which is :1 good dis- infectant. particularly for offensive sink spouts and the like. The cost is very small.” PRINTING.â€"Thc art of printing has perhaps, contributed tnore essentially to the Welfare of mankind, to the ad- vancement of Society, and to the pro- motion and d ffusion Ofpolitical, physi- cial, and ethical truths, than all the arts bcsidc. It is. in fact. an art that is “ preservative ofall arts.”â€"Where- ever it is known and encouraged, the progrcs ivc improvement of society is certain. and the march of mind sec-ore and uncmbzirrusscd. But where the press has never shed its light, 01' dis- pensed its intellectual treasures, the night of ignorance and the gloom of superstition rest upon the soul and Ob- scurc the intellect Ofman : and should it be struck out ofcxistcucc With its rich treasures Of instruction, the world, ere long would be incrng in night and barbarism. ARTIFICIAL SNOItING.â€"Old Hicks, of ' noni‘ Hamilton, was an awful snorcr. He could be heard farther than a blucksmilh’s forge ; but his wife became so accustmncd toil, that it soothed licr repose.
