Pazeer of t Hustles. One of the most

wonderful properties of the muscles is the

extraordinary force they exert, although they are composed of such slender lUmti

orfibres. The following facts, ia rvlatioR to this point, are demonstrated Hv the celebrated Borelli in his woik De Mulu Ar vzal ixiTTi. When a man lifts, with bis teeth, a weight of two hundred pounds, with 6 rope fastened to the jaw teeth, t he n:us lei named Temporalis and Massetes, with which people chew, and ohieh perAm this wor!:, erert a force cf above fifty tm"and pounds rciht. If any one banging his arm directly downwards, lifts a weight oftwenty pounds with the third or b?t joint ef the thumb, the msscle whir!) 1 1 rd the thumb nnd bear that weight, Xfb a force ofnbout three thousand pounds.When a man, standing upon his kttjtq-f or springs forward to the height d uvo feet, if the weight of sueh a mar be citf hundred and fifty pounds, the musc!.s employed in that action will exert a force two thousand times greater, that i? m tu) a force of about three hundred thrjviui pounds. The heart, at each pulse or contraction, by which it protrudes the bWd out of the arteries into the veins, exerts a force of above a hundred thousand poind?. Dic'Ss Christian Philotopltcr.

Good effect of Superstition. There lived some years ago, iu a town in Connecticut, a man who was much addicted to converting his neighbors' property to his own use and benefit without if ovarii. The clergyman of the town, suspecting him of making too free" with his hay, had one r.iht concealed himself in his barn with his dar!: lantern. The thief soon appeared, and tying up a large bundle, had just left the

premises, when the rev. owner, instead cf

bawling cut, yoa scoundrel, you! what da you mean by stealing my hayf disengad the candls from the lantern and defter ouslj applied it to the ccrr.bustible load. The bundle was soon in a bright blaze: and the unlucky fellow, suspecting that hewas pursued by some perron with a liht laid his feet to the ground rith uncommon agility. But it was in vain to escape the pursuing fire. The bSaze increasing in brightness as he ran, ceeed to hi3 ten ified imagination to ccrr.e nearer, till venturing to look round to diiccver the entent of his danger, he perceived to his astonishment that the stolen hay was cn fire. How it came so, puzzled him not a little. But caconcious ijuilt cssktsd his natural crcd-
