Tie "OldGuard" at .Waterloo.
The lollowing descripiion of the last charge , by the Old French Guard at Waterloo, is deriv¬ ed from a French work entitled " Histoire de la Gprdo imperiale, relue parM. Kmile Masco de Saint Hilliare," and is interesting at the present moment:
During the day, the artillery of the Guard, under Drouei, maintained ile old renown ; and lhe Guard iiself had frequently been used to re¬ store the battle in various parts of the field, and always wilh success. The English were fast becoming exhausted, and in an hour more would doubtless have been forced into a diaaetrous de¬ feat, but for the timely arrival of Blucher. But when lhey saw him with his 30.000 Prusaiana approaching, their courage revived, while iNapo- Icon was £lled with amazement. A beaten en¬ emy was aboul lo form a junction with the allies* which Grouchy, who had been sent to keep him in check, was nowhere to be aeen. Alaa ! what great plans a single inefficient commander can overthrow.
In a momeni Napoleon saw that he could not sustain the attack of bo many fresh troops, if once allowed to form a junction wilh the allied, forces, and he determined to stake his fata on onc bold cast, and endeavor to pierce thc allied center with a grand charge of the Old Guard, and thus throw himself between the two armies. For this purpose the Imperial Guard waa called up and divided imo two immense coiumns, which were to meet in the British center.— Tlioae under Beille no eooncr entered the fire than it disappeared liko mist. Tho oiher was placed under Ney, 'ihe bravest of the brave,' and the order to advance given. Napoleon ac¬ companied ihem part of the way down the slope, and halting a moment in a hollow, addressed them a few words. He told them tho battle rested with them, andthat he relied on their val¬ or, tried in so many fields. 'Vive I'Empereur !' answered him with a shout that was heard abov e the ihunder of artillery.
TIic whole continental struggle exhibits no aublimer spectacle than this last effort of Napo¬ leon to save his sinking Empire. The greatest military energy and skill the world possessed had been taxed to the utmost during the day.— Thrones wera tottering dn the turbulent field, and the shadows of fugitive kings flitted through the smoke of battle. Bonaparte's star irembled in the zenith—now blazing out in its ancient splendor, now suddenly paling before his anx¬ ious eye. The intense anxiety with which he watched the advance of that column, and the terrible suspense he suffered when the smoke of battle wrapped it from sight, and the utter despair ofhis great heart when the curtain lift¬ ed over a fugitive army,and the despairing shriek rung out 'The Guard recoils!' 'The Guard recoils I' make us for a moment forget all the carniige, in eympaihy wiih his disires.*.
The Old Guard felt the pressure of the im¬ mense responsibility, and resolved not to provo unwortliy loathe great trust committed to its care. Nothiug could be more imposing than its movement to the assault. It had never re¬ coiled before a human foe, and thc allied forces beheld with awe iis firm and aleady advance to the final charge. For a moment the batteries stopped playing and the firing ceased along the British lines, as, without thc beating of a drum, Or a bugle-note to cheer their sieady courage, lhey moved in dead silence over the field. Their tread was like mufHed thunder, while the daz¬ zling helmets of the cuirassiers flashed long streams of light behind the dark and terrible mass that swept in one strong wave along. The stern Drouct was there amid his guns, and on every brow was wriiten the unalterable resolu¬ tion to conquer pr die. The next momeni the artillery opened, and thc head ot that gallant column seemed to sink in the earth. Rank after rank went down, yet they neither stopped nor fal¬ tered, Dis?olving squadrons and whole battal¬ ions disappearing one after another in the des¬ tructive lire affected not their steady courage.— The ranks closed up as beforo, and each tread¬ ing over his fallen comrade, pressed unflinching¬ ly on.
Tha horae which Ney rode fell under him, and scarcely had he mounted anoiher, till five in succession had been shot under him. Then, with his drawn sabre, he marched sternly at the head of his column. In vain did the artillery hurl its siorm of iron inio that living mass. Up 10 the very muzzles they pressed, and driving the artillerymen irom iheir pieces, pushed on through the English lines. Bul just as the vic¬ tory seemed won, a file of soldiers, who had laid ilat on the ground behind a low ridge of earth, suddenly rose and poured a volley into their very faces. Anoiher and another followed, till one broad sheet of flame rolled on their boaoms> and in such a fierce and unexpected flow that they staggered bock before it. Before the Guard had time lo rally again and advance, a heavy column of infantry fell on its left flank in closo and deadly volleys, causing it, in its un¬ settled state, to swerve to the right. At that instant a whole brigade ol cavalry thundered on lhe right flank, and penetrated where cavalry had never gone before.
That intrepid Guard could have borne up against the unexpected fire from soldiers they did not see, and would also have rolled back the infantry that had boldly charged its left flank; but lhe cavalry finished the disorder into which they had been momentarily thrown, and broke the shaken ranks before thoy had time to re-form ond lhe eagles of tbat hitherto invincible Guard were pushed backward down tbe^lope. It was then thatlhe army, seized wilh despair, shrieked out, ** The Guard recoils ! The Guard recoils!" and lurned and fied in wild dismay. To see ihe Guard in confusion was a sight they had never ' before beheld, and it froze every heart with ter¬ ror. Sliil those veterans rc fused to fly ; rallying from their disorder, they formed into two im¬ mense squares of eight battalions and turned , fiercely on the enemy, and nobly strove to stem the reversed tide of battle.
For a long time they stood and let the cannon ballsplow through iheir.ranks, disdaining to turn their backs on the foe. Michel, at lhe head ol those battalions, fought like a lion. To every command of the enemy to surrender, hereplied, "The Guard dies, it never surrenders," and wiilthis last breaih, bequeathing this glorious motto to lhe Guard, he fell a witness to its truth. Death traversed those eight battalions wilh such a rapid fooistep ihai they soon dwindled away to two, wkich turned in hopeless daring on the overwhelming numbers ihai pressed their reti¬ ring footsteps.
Last of ull but a single battalion, the debris oi lhe "column of granite" at Marengo, was lelt. Into this Napoleon flung himself. Cam- bronne, its brave commander,.saw with terror the Emperor in ita frail keeping. He was not struggling for victory, he was intent only on showing how thc Guard ahould die. Approach¬ ing the Emperor, he cried out, "Retire! Do you not see that death has no need of youi" and closing mournfully yet sternly round their expi¬ ring eagles, those brave hearts .bade Napoleon an eternal adieu, and flinging themselves on the enemy, were soon piled with the dead at iheir 'eet.
Many of the officera were seen to destroy themselves rather than survive defeat. Thus, greater in ita own defeat, than any other corps of men in gaining a victory, the Old Guard pasaed from the stage and the curtain dropped upon its strange career. It had fought its laat baitje.

And as if to outrage lhe moral sentiment of tho community as rauch OS possible, lhey chose for their daysof meeting the Sabbath, eo that, when other people were at church, they might have been heard ridiculing that'" obsolete institution," deriding the cler¬ gy, and denouncing the whole syctem of Chris¬ tian morals generally.   They had an organ, too, like the Fourieritea, but the organ at length is dead and gone, and so   is   Rationalism.   It wouldn't flourish in this country—it wouldn't pay.   It now flourishes in France, whence it originally came ; but the " business," we take is done in NewYork, let us hope, forever.— Fourierism was pretty   profitable   for a litlie while : that ia, so long as it could find fools and dtipes to throw in their all to the general exche¬ quer, which exchequer was all the while watch¬ ed over and finally taken posseasion of by the philbaophic gentlemen who first started it.   The Infidels didn'i make much money; for. with Icgs'hypocrisy and sophistry than the Fourier- itesj they avowed openly doctrines so detestable that the old adage, " a fool and his money are soon parted," mei in their case a decided nega¬ tion.   Inierventioniam,  in this   pariicular   re¬ spect, however, was the grandest scheme of all, —-the ism of isms.   It counted its gains by thou¬ sands and tens of thoasands; but it showed a sa¬ gacity and an eye to the utilitarian that none of its  illustrious   predecessors ever  be'rayed, when, having bagged its gains, it left the coun¬ try es soon as it came into it.    Well, even though it cost us lull a hundred thouaand dollars in hard cash, it was a cheap riddance.   Such of ourpco- ple as were   inoculated with  the virus, we are glad to say, have near about all regained their senses.   The few that arc still Buffering from it are in a fair way of recovery.   Abolitionisna and Anti-Rentism are antecedents to these latter day absurdities ; but as their history and opera- lion arc ihoronghly understood by this lime, in all quarters, we pass them by till we come to these the latest lineal descendants of the "phil osophers" we   have   meniioned—Bloomerism and Spiritual Rappism.   These  two alao are twins, born about the same time, and probably destined to die also at the same lime.    The first is a harmless kmd of an ism, and has never tried to cheat the ignorant out of their doUars and cents.   It haa been csrefnlly nursed and tended by some well.meaning and, in the main, very amiable old ladies, helped now and then by a stray Fourierite and Woman's Rights man ; but il is beUeved now that, with all the petting it haa got, it cannot live much longer.   In  fact, we   suspect  it   is   dead   already.     Its  twin, Ghost-Rapping, will soon follow it; for though its newspaper oracles are rapidly multiplying, it is a gratifying fact that its loUdwcrs are be¬ coming fewer and fewer every day.   The expo¬ sures of the   Anti-Humbug,   Anti-Swiodling press have had their legitimate and intended ef¬ fect.   The eyes of the bUnd are open.   The ab¬ surdity of the thing is apparent.   Its'arrani kna- very is unveiled.   Its " business" is dwindling away.   Its professors now don't advertise com¬ munications frora spirit land at so much a word, as they used to do when this the most silly and most execrable of all tfae isms had   the " ^yide8t run."   Instead of fiUing the Lunatic Asylums wilh ignorant and crazy believers, it is breaking out in print.   It ia reduced to a mere newspaper concern: and, that being the casei we think lis end ia not far off; for there ia too much intelligence, too much sense, and neither ignorance nor knavery enough in ihe country to keep alive much longer such ridiculous concerns as newspapers thai profess to be edited, in the main, by ghosts from lhe other world,—such as ' The Spiritual Telegraph" and "Spirit Mes¬ senger" in NewYork, the " Spirit World" at St. Louis, and divers oiher type and ink mons¬ trosities scattered here and there, in other sec¬ tions of the country.
We repeal, then, only Truth is Eternal — Falsehood flourishes for a whUe, and has its dupes and its victims in this day as in limes past; but the truths of Christianity (which it is either the covert or openly avowed purpose of all these isms to overthrow) will remain as ever firm and unshaken before their assaults to the end ol lime.—N.

After dinner, some stalks must be giv¬ en the cattle, and then must come the promiaed sleigh ride, whan mother wilt take down a basket of eggs to get some sugar wiih, and a pound of that beautiful yellow butter,—which the boarding-house keeper, whose invention of. yellow spectacles, as we have duly- chronicled to pass off lard upon his boarders for butter, never dreams of buying, it comea so high in the market—to barter for a calico dress. Gel in with them, and ride down to the store. The Post Office is there, aod there are all the hang- urs-about who have no cattle to fodder, and ihe slack farmers who stack ibeir com stalks in the barn yard, ihai the cattle may help themselves and leave the bars down, that lhey may goto ihe-spring to drink, whon ihey choose,—there the idlers and the lazy all do t^ftgregate. They champ peanuts and creunch apples over the red hot etove, aod at odd spells they play a game of back-gammon. They talk over village gossip and.local politica, and one, more wise than the rest, who has the newspaper reads occasionally a ptiragraph from it, perhapa, about the Caloric Ship, and then lhey laugh about the Arabia wbicfa did not beat the Baltic, and bet that we will faave Cuban members in Congress before the new meeting-house is paid for.

Chained to a Ball.
I was a boy once. I would be happy, indeed, could I eay ihat, as I became a man, I put away boyish things, and that I have now entered upon my duties and reaponsibiiities as onlya man may. But I have one boyish th ing about me yet; and il is this wise .—I waa once pasaing ifae, barrack-yard in the city ot Quebec, and hearing tho aound as of soldiers marching, I climbed up the wall and peeped over. There was a com¬ pany of soldiers, and a short disiance in advance ofthem, asingle private with alarge cannon-ball chained.to bia foot. He hadbeenguilty ofsome misdemeanor, and was condemned to ihe task of parading a certain number of hours each day with this irksome compamon- And as I have grown older and learned to think for rayself, I faave applied its moral in eome cases which have come under my observation.
When I see a young man jufit on the threshold of l^fot loitering away his time in unprofitable, amusements and unworthy associations, which consume bis precious seed-time, and burden him wilh evil influences which will probably go with bim, and forma thorny. pillow when he lies in the silent grave, I think that fae ie chaining him- telfto a hall.
When a young man culs off from the restraints of^arly impreasions, and enters the bar-room, there to spend his evenings, and perhaps his nights in dissipation and companionship with sinners, whose god is Bacchus, and whose obla¬ tions are profane, jesta, and godless sneers, and licentious songs, I turn aside andweep, tfaat he will madly forge and weld tho links with which he is chaining himself to a ball.
When I see ayoung man elastic wiih hope, whose path points lo certain success or to undy¬ ing fame, Peeking relaxation from the fatigues of business, or the appUcation efa siudaiii's life, at the gaming-lable or the theatre, or on the bosom of unhallowed delights, Idoverily feel assured that that man is chaining himself to a baU which will roll with its viciim into a pre¬ mature grave.
.' When I see a young man suffering important eni;agemenls to slip hy without fulfilment, from' a Ijabit of carelessness pra wantof energy,I feel aesured that experience will ere long prove to himthat^Ae has been^ ediaining himself to a ball. When a yoting man runs into debt, andis neg' li^nt of paying fais obUgations when due, or lets hia bosiness to take care of itself, while be is avtending to trifling employments, he will find to'his sorrow, that Ae has heen chairiing himself to a ball.

Truant Chlldren.—The Legislature of MassachuseiiB, at its last session, passed a law authorizing the authorities of towns aiid cities to arrest and punish all boys .who absented them¬ selves from school and spent their lime in idle¬ ness abotii the slreets or elsewhere. Wherever this:law has been executed it has proven bene¬ ficial. Boston is divided into three drsCricts un¬ der this law, and an officer appointed in each, to loot after vagrant children. For three months of tfae past year preceding December these officers had arrested 625 tryant children, who were dealt wilh according to their deserts by the courta. Confirmed truants, of whom there were 191, were sent to the houso of re¬ formation, iachools of reform, or farm school; others to the charity schools, and to the alms- clers wereThduced to attend school punctually. The decrease of crime among the juvenile popu¬ lation, il is believed, wiU be one of tfae excel¬ lent results of tfais system. Jn 1851 there were 1,110 minors arrested in Boston for crimes ond misdemeanors.
Feat ov i Gipsx.—jSsfonis/iing Delusion— The Washingion Republic slates ihat Cap¬ tain Bobert Perry, a gentleman of respectable standing, and of considerable means, recently visited wilh others a baud of gipsies, near Bristol post office, Anne Arundel county, Md., in order to see if they could put them on the trail ofthe robbers of a store in the neighbor¬ hood. One of the gipsies, it appears, selected Capiain Perry as a victim, and told him that if he would grant her a private interview wiih him, at his'hoQse, she coaTiS disclose to him a treasure of great value on his farm* The interview was granted, wben the gipsy told him Fhe could do nothing until he eihibJIed toher$l,Opp in current money. Captain F. had only $835 in the house, but sotiseqnently borrowed $200 bundred more, when anoiher interview took place, the result of wfaich it -thus deiaUed by ihe Repnblic:—
•jThe money , was couOleil, plaoe^ln-a-ahot- bag, enveloped iu brown paper, and again wrapped iu cotton cloth, and was placed in a trunk, which was locked, and tbe key taken by' Perry. It was there to remain for some days. In three days the gipsy re^tffned, and .she and Perry had an interview alone. The trunk was opened, and lhe bundle was found exactly as il bad been placed. He was re¬ quired ihen to go npon his kneeS; in order lhat her incantations performed over lhe trunk and money might have their fuU effect. Wbile BO engaged, her cloak feil opon lhe trunk, but she quickly placed it on her sfaonU ders. Tfae mysterious proceeding being over, Perry was called to examine the trunk, and found itall right; he relocUed it atid pock¬ eted the key. He was now lold lhat the work was dooe, and thaton lhe -ninth, day she would reiurn, and if the money, &c., in the trunk were ail right, she would be at liberty to point out to him the exact localiou of tfae treasnre on his farm. She further told him thai if she were detained by sickness or other cause, be was to open the trunk himself, and would find the necessary instructions.
It can scarcely be credited thata man pos- sesBiiig his ordinary senses could have been 50 led away hy the hopes o( gain, yet it is true that tfae trunk was scarcelykept closed for tfae ninth day, (a Saturday,) and the gipsy did not return. Preferring to receive ocalarr realiza¬ tion of bis hopes by the personal aid ofihe gip¬ sy to trusting to written instructions from ibe invisible world, he delayed opening the trank, in hopes ofher re-appearing, lill Tiist Monday. He then unlocked it, look out (he bondle, re. moved the varions wrappings,, and found a shot-bag which he hastily openedi and fonnd some two.hundred coppers and a few leaves of tobacco! The gipsy had substituted tbis bundle for the one containing his money.
53" A female teacher of q school thai stood on the banks of a quiet Engliah stream, once Wished to communicate to her pupils an ideaof faith. While trying to explain the meaning of lhe word, a small covered boal glided in eight alung the stream. Seizing upon ihe incident for an iUustration, she exclaimed:
*' Ifl were to tell you that there waa a leg Of mutton in that boat, you'would beUeve me: would you not, even withoui seeing it your¬ selves?"
" Yes ma'am," replied the acholara.
"WeU that is faith." said the school mis- treas.     '    '
The next day, in order to test their recollec¬ tion of the lesson, she inquired:

An Elephant Fioht in ths West.—A live¬ ly correspondent oflhe Baltimore Patriotwriiea from Athens county, Ohio, as follows :
I have juat been wandering about the cotin- iry in search of land, belonging to some clients of mine, aod, in doing so, have met with many amusing incidents-   Only the. other day, as a caravan of rare animals, including one that trav¬ eled with a iruuk, was passing up, not Federal HUI, but  Federal  Creek,   in Athens county, Ohio, it encountered a sturdy Buckeye driving a large bull.   Now the bull, unUk6Bomep«;)Ze, had never aeen *' the elephant " before, and, when the critter carae insight, commonced mak¬ ing his foro feet familiar witfa tfaeir accustomed exercise.   His driver-and owner warned Bar- I num's agent to get his elephant out ofthe way. But Mr. Barnum's agent said that he would risk his elephant if Buckeye would risk his bull.— Whereupon the Western Taurus renewed hia bellowing, and made a desperate plunge at the huge monster of India.   The contest was some- what similar to cenain political ones, for the elephant with one blow from his trunk atretched the bull upon the ground, breaking three of his ribs, and driving ihe breath so far from'hia^body that.n had utterly relused 10 return.   My buck- eye.fnend was obliged to be content with Mr. Bull's beef, tallow and hide, whibt the elephant went on his way, driven by his whistling and whittling attendant.   True.the beef ownercon- soled hiraselfby saying that fae'faad bgen saved a great^deiil pi .'trouble, and the figfat had tuniV ed out: just ashe jwpected,   Thia Bhould be a warning to all Dorhama never to attack ele¬ phants.   Queryr-Wilt John BuU let the ele¬ phant wadeovertb Cuba without showing fight or nott   Thia waa my' 'cogitation as 1 lefi thP poor victim of anibitioi} welterrac inhis blood.
No Use for Trousers —On the morning of the meteor afaower, in 1833-, old Peyton Rob¬ erts, wfao intended making ah early atart tb fais work, got up in the midat ofthe display.- Os going to his door, he saw with amazement the sky lighted up with the falling meteors, and he concluded at onee thatthe world was on fire, and tbat tfae day of judgment hsA come.
He stood for a moment gazing in speechless terror at the scene, and with a yell of horror sprang ont of tfae door into tfae yard* right in¬ to tfae midst of the felling stars, and here in his efforts to dodge them, fae commenced a se¬ ries of ground and lofty tumbling that would faave done honor to a tight-rope iinnoer.' His wife being awakened in the meainilme; and seeing old Peyton jumping and skipping abbot the yard, called out to faim to know
*' Wfaat in the name o'sensehe was doin* out thar, daucin' around thar, without liis clothes on?" . ¦.¦.!¦''
But Peyton heard not—the judgment and the.Iong black account he wbuldhave'tb settle^ made him heedless of all terrestial things; ami his wife, by tfais time becoming alarmed at his strange befaarior, sprang out of bM.and 'run¬ ning to the door, sfarieked out at. the: top of her lungs—
•'Peyton!! I say, Peyton ! what do, 3^011 mean, jumpin'about ont tbar ?. Come in. and put your trowsers on.'*    ¦
Old Peyton, whose feara had near pvercpmo, him, faintly answered, as he fell sprawling upon the earth—^' Ohl Peggy, Peggy, don't you Hee-e-e the w-o-rl'd's a;ff-r-6? Thar ain't no use for tro-oW'Sers nowV* .   ¦

lhat some of them were residing in the First Ward be stated the above facts to Justice Drnry, who issued a warrant to search tbe premises of lhe gipsies.
Tfae officers visiied the place, and the ap' pearance bf the parlies presented lhe most squalid and wretched poverty; no . furniinrc, save some beds thrown on tfae floor, was fonnd in tfae house.—Two of the beds were occu¬ pied by women in confinement.

Thb posterior clinpid processes were seven- eight lispf an inch in front of the centro of the cranial cavity,. .
Thecurcumferenceofthe head was 231 inches, %1nd^t|ie distance fro.m the meatus of one ear to that 6f^ the" other, over the top of^. the head, was IS^inchea, ' '
The ctipacity of tfae cranium, determined ac- dordingjto the'method adopted by'the Iale Dr. S'.'Gl Morton, of Philadelphia,'"SVas 122 (one hundred aild'iweriiy-iwo> cubic inches., . Tiie substance of the brain was firm to the touch, and, .as regards color and consistence, appeared to be Wealthy.'' .The depth of the spa- ces^bjiwe^n tfae.convolutions was, on the ver¬ tex sdyoii eighths of an incH, and the *' corii- car':oi:gray Biibstahce was three sixteenihs of an inch in thickness.*        '   ,
Tlie corpus .callosiim.'oi: the greot cerebral commissure was large, measured four inqhes in length from bcfpretJackwards, and at the cen¬ tral librtion was one-fourth of an inch in thick¬ ness.
¦.-' The pineal body, as in tfao great majority of instances, conlained calcareous concretions.
vThe weigfatof lhe brain, including tfae cere¬ brum,' cerebellum, and medulla oblongata, as far ai tfae lower exiremily of the pyramids was (in avoirdupois) :—
hhs. Oz, Drmd, Grs. Grains. Brain (enccpfaalon)! 3 5 8 17 75=23 424,0 Cerebrum 2    14      7     14.09=20.530.5
Tfae measurements whicfa have been given above, are almost without excepiion of unusual proportions, ' The average length of the crania! cavity doea not exceed six and a half inches; its transverse diameter is five inches, and the verti¬ cal a Uttle less.t
The cranial capocity vas very unusual, the largest-which has yet^been recorded, though measurements in cubic inches have, aa yet, been made by comparatively few observers. In Dr, Morton's Tablea of the measurements of 623 crania of differont nations, including Caucasians, Mongolians, Malays, Americans, and Negroes, only four instances occur in whicfa the capacity exceeded one hundred cubic inches; of these the largest were one English skull, measuring 105, and one German, 114 cubic inches. Ac¬ cording to Dr. Morion, the average capacity for the Teutonic family (including English, Ger¬ mana, and Anglo-Americans) is 92 inches,^
Tfae two superficial measurements of tfae head
were very nearly those of Cuvier, the circum- (Frencfa), anu mc uti-uav.-«--.-- . . . .¦ ._ over the top wss 15 inches. The circumference of Napoleon's head is reported to have been 23 inches.
The weight of the brain deviated much less from the average than the measurements; it was entirely out of proportion to the unusual dimen¬ sions of the cranial cavity. The average weight ofan adult healthy male brain is 491 ounces, or 3 pounds li ounces avoirdupois.il As has been already stoted, there existed anefTusionof serum into the subarachnoid areolar tissue, and of se¬ rum und lymph into the arachnoid cavity. The lymph faad existed for a long lime, it covered tfae convex surface of the cerebral lobes, was a quarter of an inch in its thickest portion, and extended to the aides, where it became quite thin. Both serum and lymph, ihere can be no doubi, encroached upon and occupied the space once filled with cerebral subsiance. The weight given above, therefore, cannot be regarded as being equal to the weight ofthe brain in a state of healtfa. Tbis last we now have no means of determining except by an approximation, whicli has been made in the following manner, in ac- coniance with a suggestion by Ffofe'ssor Tread- -rfell, of Cambridge.
The specific gravity ofthe brain is, according to Cruveilhier and others, 1030, water being 1000. A cubic inch of water weighs 252.5 grains, and 122 cubic inches (the cranial capaci¬ ty), would equal 30,805 grains, to which must be added 3 per com,, or 924 grains (the excess of specific weight of brain over wo(er), which gives 31,829 grains as the fpll capacity of the cranial cavity in weight for cerebral substance. The brain, however, does not actually fill the whole cavity; a correction must, therefore, be made for the spaces occupied by tlie tentorium, falx. sinuses, the dura mater of ilie calvaria, nnd the cephalo-spinat fiuid at the haseof tho brain. If we dedoct .eight ounces for such spaces, we shall have an actiial weight of 28,329 grains; or, if nine ounces are deducted, 27,391 grains. Tak' ing the lasl approximation as ihe one the least liable to error of excess, Mr.- Webster's brain will be found to rank among those whose brains are generally cil ed as instances of remarkable size, as follows :—
ivier 4      0
'ebBter 3    15
bcrcroiabio 3    15
lurzheim     3     7
upuytren     3     1
The brains, lhe weights ofwhich (in avoirdu¬ pois) are included in this table, are not the only ones on record remarkable for size. In the table of Dr. Sharpey, there are enumerated as weigh¬ ing between 55 and 59 ounces, avoirdupois, in elusive, 28 brains ; and between 60 and C5 oun¬ ces, 7.^ Nothing is said of the individuals from whom lhey were taken; of the two largest, one weighed 63 and the other 65 ounces; it is not improbable that theae were the brains of Aber¬ orombie and Cuvier; 63 ounces heing precisely the weight of the former. In making out the table, all instances with fractional parts were classed with the next integral number; and, as Cuvier's Brain weighed over 64 ounces, it would rank as 65 ounces. If this be not the explana¬ tion, then thero ison record a larger healthy brain than that of Cuvier,
