A BROKEN HEART.

The question has often been asked, "Do hearts ever break? Is it simply a metaphorical expression, or a grim truth ?" The saying itself is so common that very little attention is paid to it, and so we find in one instance, at all events, that familiarity breeds contempt. Has this thing a physical basis, in addition to being of poetic imagination ? It seems remarkable that the heart should be cloven under any circumstances whatever. One thing is certain, only an abnormal condition « things could bring about such a ult. All suffering is a huge mystery. Recent physiological experiments have enabled great physicists to uncover the brain of certain animals and observe its working under fchestimulus of the electric current; whether its action under such excitement is the same as when the brain is in violent pain is bard to tell. One thing seems evident, under paroxysms of pain the molecules must become tremendously excited. It is quite possible that thai brain and the heart, being subtilely related, become the centres of shock and confusion when any part of the body is in great suffering, That being so, it does not appear after all Buch an extraordinary thing for the heart to'break, upon the receipt of startling news, occasioning intense suspense, pain or joy. The whole mechanism of the body is violently agitated, the heart becomes a pentup flood, and a doliriura of excitement and intense pain takeß instant possession, which cleaves it in twain, producing immediate doath. What a transformed world this would be, ilsickiiess and pain were smitten' •■of existence! And yet while T?e dread suffering, we live in the very manner that is likely to produce it. Two-thirds of the sufferers of our race might be delivered from their painß and diseases if early treatment were adopted.
