Canses of Kteft-liaUBidetlncss. . Th? question lias been much dis? cussed among anatomists whether the properties of the right hand, in com? parison with those of the left, depend on the course of the arteries to it. It is affirmed that the trunk of the artery going to the right arm passes off from the heart, so as to admit the brood directly and more forcibly into the small vessels bf the arm. This is assigning a cause which is unequal to the effect, and presenting altogether too confined a view of the subject; it is a participation in the common error of seeking in the4 me? chanism the cause of phenomena which have a deeper source. For the convenience of Ufe, and to make us_prompt and dextrous, it is' .pretty evident there should be no hesi? tation which hand is to be used, or which foot is to be put forward; nor is there in fact any such indecision. Is this taught? or, nave we this readi? ness given to us by nature? It must be observed, at the same time, that there is a distinction hi the whole right side of the body, and that the left side is not the weaker in regard only to muscular strength, but also in its vital or constitutional properties. The development of the organs of ac? tion and motion is greatest upon the right side, as may at any time be as? certained by measurement, or the tes? timony of the tailor, or shoemaker; -certainly this superiority may be said to results rom the more frequent exer? tion of the right hand; but the pecu? liarity extends to the constitution also, and diseases attack the left extremities more frequently than the right. In opera dancers, we may see that the most difficult feats are performed by the right foot. But their prepara? tory exercises better evince the natu? ral weakness of the left limb, in order to avoid awkwardness in the publie exhibition; for if these exercises be neglected, an ungraceful performance will be.given to the right side. In walking behind a person, it is very seldom that we see an equalized mo? tion of the body; and if we look to the left foot, we sholl find that the tread is not so firm upon it, that the toe is not so much turned out as in the right, and that a greater push is made with . it. From the peculiar form of woman and the elasticity of her step, result? ing more from the motion of the ankle than of the haunches, the defect of the left foot, when it exists, is more appa? rent in her gait. No boy hops upon his left foot unless he be left-handed. The horseman puts his left foot in tho stirrup, and springs from the right. We think we may conclude thejfc, everything being adapted in the con? veniences of life to the left hand-as for example, the direction of the worm screw or of the cutting end of the auger-it is not arbitrary, but is re? lated to a natural endowment of the body. He who is left-handed is most sensible to the advantages of this adaption from the opening of a pen? knife. . On the whole,- the preferences of the right hand ls not the effect of habit, but is a natural provision, and is bestowed fer a very obvious pur? pose, and the property does not de? pend on ^ the peculiar distribution of the arteries of the arm, but the pre? ference is jjiven to the right foot as well as to the right hand. RKMAMLAB??E STOUT-A MARRIAGE FKCSTBATED.-A young lady in Chica? go was betrothed at the beginning of the war to a lieutenant in the army. He was killed in battle, and his body taken home and buried by Ins nearest friend and comrade, ?-ho was with him when he fell. 'To this yoting man the lady's affections were transferred in time, and sh? engaged to marry him. On the day when they were to be united, and while the clergyman was about to join their hands, the lady sud? denly .fainted. Oa recovering, bhe said she had seen the spirit of her loner, who had. forbidden tho marri? age.' Cut of deference-to tho -wishes of the deceased gentleman, the nup? tials were indefinitely postponed, and the heroine has. just entered a con vent.-[?] A, monument to the memory of Mrs. Surratt is to be erected, with her last words-"I am innocent, but God's will be done"-inscribed theseon.
