THE HYMNS MY MOTHER SUNG. There arc no hymns lo mo more sweet, Than those my mother sung, When joyously around her feet, . Her little children clung. The baby in its cradle slept? My mother sang the while; What wonder if there softly crept Across his lips a smile! And I, a sick and languid boy? Oppressed with many pains? Oft felt a quiet sense of joy ?Come with her soothing strains. Tiic stealing tear mine eyes bedims? My heart is running o'er? The music of a mother's hymns Shall cheer ino here no more! y , MISCELLANEOUS. , ' 3 [From the A7. Y. Sunday Mercury.] A SHORT PATENT SER.VION, !* - BY Dotv J It.

TIM FLAKIGAN'S GHOST. A Story of the Charity Hospital.? Pounded on Fact.?There is a strong preudice?call it vulgar if you will?against he dissection of human bodies. However ntich the practice may subserve the cause if science, but few arc willing that the :orpse of their friend should be subjected o the operation of the scalpel. The narch of intellect must be onward, uninerruplcd in its course for another centuy at least, ere people altogether divest hemselves of those old fashioned scruples. Ye like to have the bones of those we oved in life quietly interred in death?we irefer to have them reposing beneath the recn sward of the most humble grave nrd. though no carved stone or sculptor (I mo.iument marks the spot, than lo see hem gracing the lecture room of the most clcbratcd surgical institution, and used s an anatomical A B C, for the study and if some embryo Sir Astlcy Cooper. It was this feeling?commended in our ipinion as it is?which gives rise to a raher ludicrous scene at the Charity Hospit1 on an evening of the past week. A wag, who knew an Irishman to be ick in the hospital, and who was deternined to have a joke at the crpcnse of ioor Patrick's wife's feelings?which were s surcharged with love?pure and virtues love?for that sick, penniless husband, s though honor and wealth were his, and he basked in the sunshine of both. Here is a copy, verbatim at literatim, he letter he sent her: 'Charity Hospital, ) Thursday Evening, 4 o'clock. ) Dear. Peggy?I (lied this mornin, at in o'clock.
