The little girl—whom we shall take the liberty of calling Mary—although very much beloved by all who knew h*r* had the of speaking aloud in company and oommeqting on each and every peculiarity that «ny,ol her mamma's guests might have and the charming widow, knowing this fact, took liulo AJary one side on the afternoon in question, and gave her a lesson somewhat in the following inaanner: 1 "Mary,dear, have invited a very particular friend of mine to come and take tea with me this evening and as he has rajihW a long ^os«* I V»sh to jracp yotf against speakUi of it ip his presence.— He is the most sensitive upon that point of ail autyects thorefofe if y«« to it ia itis presence, you ehall most assuredly be severely reprimanded but, oa the other hand you will sit up in your little chair and he a lady, you shall have thj)t beautifully frosted cake I purchased of the baker tl|is morniftg." tea#*

PHENOMENA0K THE BRAIN. Dr. Wagan, in a treatise on the "Quality of the Mind," makes the following remarks:

One of the most Ipconcoivabje things lit the nature of the brain is. that the organ of sensation should itself be insensible. To cut the brain gives no pain, yet in the brain alone resides the power of feeling pnin in any other part of the body. If the nerve which leads from it to the injured part be divided, it becomes instantly unconscious of suffering. It Is only by communication with the brain that any kind of sensation is produced, yet tho organ itself is insen
