ty rather than her predilection had favoured
the addresses of her recreant admirer, and
she soon repented of her haste. Her secret
heart deeply reproved her for the unjust
condemnation she bad drawn upon thep in-
n ocent Mary; but the feeling how eon
e ke bad been, did not help to appease her
wounded pride, nor operate to repair the
talscbtcf. She, however, parted from her
with tears and protestations of continued
regard: and these completely sufficed to
restore her to the eheging affection of her
ebe had so cruelly injured.
But the consequences of this disturbance
extended farther. Mary's fond mother,
who was at the time oppressed by illness,
;las heart -stricken when she heard of the
opprobrium east upon the fair name of her
darling child, and never recovered from the
shock. And, • very few weeks after, Laura,
revenging upon herself the infidelity of a
loser wIio never had possessed her prefer.
ence, but whose vanity she thought to re-
taliate -upon, committed the imprudence of
bestowing her hand clandestinely upon his
rival; a young man of showy pretensions,
but without fortune, whose addressee her
.parents had forbidden.
1t would be irrelevant to my purpose to
relate all the causes -of the implacable dis-
pleasure of Mr. and Mrs; Douglas at this
rash act, or to follow their young, infatuat-
ed, once idolised Lauri, through its train
of disastrous consequences; who, unfor-
given, soon after accompanied her husband
to the East Indies.
Oo bearing of her departure, Mary stole,
at deal of night, to ■ favorite haunt of .her
regretted young lady called "Laura's
Bower," and there committed her first and
only theft, in prosecution of a cherished
superstition. This was the traneplating of
a flower. to emblem the departed to a
foreign land; which, if done with due obser-
vances relative to time, property, end se-
crecy, its drooping or flourishing leaves
would faithfully continue to indicate the
condition of the abeeot one. Mary, as
moat appropriate, chose a rose plant, which
she placed in her cottage window, and
watrte,' and tended through several years,
feeding her affectionate thoughts with asso-
ciated favors, concerning her whom it was
set to commemorate, without having ob-
tained any sure intimation even of her be-
ing in existence. That cottage was no
longer the same. The vicissitudes of the
interval had been great to both parties.-

which was within a short distance of the
cottage in which she last saw Mary Irving,

slowly opened by Mary herself -grey -
beaded, trembling, and unrecognisine.
I.sura had been living in jip habit of
viewing the most of time'sefiQgs under
falsely embellished aspects, and was utterly
unprepared for the .ed wreck she beheld. -

withered check,1he kisses she was feebly
imprinting en the one hand she hod taken,
.he pointed to her other one, which hung
lifeless by her Mile, and then to her mouth.
She had been stricken with pale)-, and was
dumb. Daft Davie, who was tho only
other human inhabitant of the cottage,
looked at Laura with glaring eves, as if
-ready to resent her intrneion; and her cem-
ent inn was deepened, to see her who
had' lavished upon herself so nrtiy tender
cares, now, in her withered years and .ad
circumstances, alone with such an atten-
dant. Mary read her thoughts, and first
motioning deprecatingly to Davie, who ap-
peared to understand her signal, and mut-
tered out his customary response, " Weel,
weel, guid lassie," .he tottered towards the
iittletable, where lay an open Bible. It
was open at the 1031 psalm. Vary sank
heavily upon the cushiowed chair which
stood before it; passed her hand over the
page; then pressed it on het heart, and then
on Laura's; whose terror may be imagined
when she saw her seized with intense
trembling, sudden, violent, universal. The
internal agitation of the meeting, which
could not find way in words, proved too
much for her feeble frame. it was bar tut.
The struggle subsided. A calm came over
her distorted features. A btight gleam
illuminated, for a moment, her pallid coun-
tenance -almost restoring it to former
beauty: and with her distressed poor brother
murmuring " guid lassie" in her ears, she
fell asleep -and, may we not venture to be-
lieve awoke to the song of angels !

And thus, through varying circumstances,
and changes of poeltion between country
and town life, their mutual relation remain-
ed unkroken, until Laura had nearly eom-
p'a•ed her eighteenth year, and Mary her
twenty-seventh. Then Laura mai day
found Mary weeping over an open letter,
which she did not attempt to hide, but b••
trsyed considerable agitation in delivering
up to att. It contained dishonorable pro-
posals from a young nobleman of high rank
and fortune, who had followed Laura to the

dissolution amongst its elements. Food is
taken into the Stomach powerf,lly negative.
I mean by ties, that It contains so little
electricity Ott it will have a powerful at-
traction for liquids, which naturally contain
more ; hence it abetracta the electricity
contained in the cells of the mucus mem-
brane ; capillary action is thus excited, and
the. arteries of the gastro-intestinal system
pour out their serum, to order if pouible to
neutralize the demand. A communication
-is thus established between the blood and
the external world, and, dtcording to we
universal Lala, the life of Stan must do its
part, in order to talon eke general equili-
brium.
The eccentric character of cholera ha.
hitherto baffled all attempts to investigate
its cion. Persons belonging to the same
family, though residing to different hooses
have been simuhtantously attacked. Paso -
nets confined in a solitary and condemned
cell, have been executed by cholera, without
having had any Communication whatever
with persons having the disease. A case
of this kind occurred in Prussia. In which
the only communication which the prisoner
had with tha living world was through the
medium of his keeper, who gars him his
food through an iron grating. 1f my theo-
ry le correct, these anal many other •xeee-
triclties connected w;1h the progress of the
disease are satisfactorily accounted for.
I)r. Bell says :—" We must, In endea-
vouring to accsrtain the amerce of this
dteease, look to the gympatheme system of
derves-and it is particularly worthy of net-
tles, that wherever the branches of the
sympathetic are largely distributed, there
the symptoms of the disease are most prom-
inent." Prneeeding further. he shows that
Cholera cannot be referred to a topical and
erelusive affection of any of the great or-
gans. He also briefly muerte, that the
cause of cholera is not • morbid state of
the circulating blood, hors dcep(y Reser that
alteration may be occasioned, as a conse-
quence of tAr true morbid impression.
The es.entiel manifestations of Cholera,
according to the London Lancet, aro " col -
laps countewanev, blue lips and nail., shrun-
ken fingers, the total failure of the usual
secretions, d.. irienl animal heat, suspension
of the pulse, and remora, or stagnation 'in
(e renew circulative.
According to Dr. Kennedy : in the first
stage " the patient complains of feeling of

to act, when the arteries are empty and the
capillaries of the circulation are .o logger
supplied with blood by the usual course."
Dr. O'Shanghnesey proved by • eerie.
of rigid experiments, that the blood in the
wont cases of Cholera retains its globular
or anatomical structure ; that the lungs are
capable of performing their Arecibos, le so
far as the set of respiration is concerned, in
the decomposition of atmosphereie ale ; and
that the dejection* of the cholera rimiest
are strongly alkaline, and contain just Hose •
elements of whieb hie blood has been depri-
ved i or, in other words. the addition of the
dejection. to the blood, in doe proportion,
would have restored the latter to its normal
constitution. The same results were ob-
tained by other chemists in d,Rerent parts
of Europe.
Now, if it be admitted that the physical
laws of nature are universal in their opera-
tion, then it meet follow, that the exerea-
tion of the fluid portion of the blood ilia
the alimentary esoal in Cholera, has been
fully accounted for. That the cause b e
physical 6ne,'there can be no doubt what-
ever. Ths action of some kinds of purga-
tive upon the bowels belongs to the same
clans of phenomena, but differing in degree.
If brood be placed on the one side of a capil-
lary membrane, and certain purgative raw -
ties on the other. the serum of the blood
will pass through the membrane, to unite
with the medicine. This is just what occur,
in the body ; and 1 think the evidence alrea-
dy afforded, that such phenomena are de-
pendent upon *Metrical attractions should
satisfy all reasonable minds.
Pathology likewise, according to the beet
authority, is altogether in our favour. A

From the London Lancet of Novembf>1t
last, I extract the following. A letter from
8t. Pe'terebargh states, "that whiles Cho-
lera was at its highest, the 'action of the

the disease is gradually subsiding, asemw
by degrees its former power. A magnet
