Mucking every vroai; that bursts
From the achins heart that thirsts
For tho love it ne'er may share,
And the joys it ne'er miiy wear.
For the lijClit by clouds o'ercast,
For the jrlories of the past?

Pray for her boy as she prayed that day.
Oh! Memory Bells, with your weird, strange

CURIOSITIES OF S0UXD.

some; "i'or wli-.it is sunn 1 but vibra

reply of ot.iier.s ; "for is not buiin-l a
st'ns;itionr"
It is both, ami thorp "ore botli pdi'tio.;
Kre ri2!it ; the lust popularly, the first
philosophically. No one, whet her phi
losopher or otherwise, Hiostkns the
f let th tt where there is the sensation
of hearinj; tliere must be souit'l; but
the iniuils of some fasten so exclusive
ly iiiion the ''sensiition," as to forgot
that its proxiinrtte can so is equally en
titled U the n uut; of .souii-l (-1 notable
instance of which is to be fount I in
Worcester's Dictionary, excel lent tho'
it be"), and therefore it piny be amiss if,
ivliile adhering failhfully to the thcue
noted at top, we amuse ourselves with
a few f.tcfs yutuir to prove the especial
correctness of the first reply.
Sound, by which we n nv mo-in the
vibrations of a sonorous medium pro-
dticinir upon the eir tho sensation of
lioiirin', can lie aiul fc't "s wcil as
hc.ir.i, an 1 ciiu be seen and felt some
times when it cannot be heard. Who
lias not fc'.t the back of his pew in
church quiverhijr with certain tones of
the preacher's voice, or with ceriain
notes of the oruan? Even the celebrat
ed Julia Draee, though stoti" deaf, as
well as stone-blind, could ditin.2'uih
her- ctim;anion, it i? said, by the pecu
liar vibrations :il lendin g the tread and
the voice of each. And, during the
recent war, it was not unusual, with
those who un ierstix.d the art, to watch
the progress of a cannonade, too dis
tant fwi the ear, by means of a hole
bored in the o-pound, from the sides of
which !oos;iy-adlieriii'rpart ides would

by him the 1 larmonicoii, v.'iii n-ctil
with pleasure the beautiiUl yttem of

eaused by the vibration of the nr.isical
cujis, and will easily believe that a
close study of the.-e wavelets mijrlit al
most enable a keen-eyed observer to
determine, by sunlit of the notes, to
which they respectively belong.

The chirp of the iin-lis!! sparrow was

the squeak of the bit was beyond it.

This '-limit of' audition," alluded to
by those distinguished men, has been
most carefully studied, both by theory
and experiment, and the result is as

Leaving now tho class of facts con
nected with the question at the b, .i::
jiin.vr of thi- article, we are attracted by
another class, jiss, u-Ptted with the ve
locity of sound. Whoever lbnus to
distant music will observe that all
notes, whether hij;h or low, soft or
loud, travel exactly with the .vim: ve
locity, and that even the accents and
the intervals keep the sann time. It
is so with all sounds pa.-siii.jr through
the same medium at the same moment ;
whatever their nature, their velocity is
the same. Yet, allow a few lit lie
changes of time, place or circumstances.
and the rate is found to be exceodimvly
variable. It chan res with every change
of the wind ; it fluctuates with every
rise ami fall of tho barometer ; and. ns
to temperature, it is r.s sen itive lo it
as the mercury or spirits of wine in a
thcrmomt tor. iviowin? difference, of
1.14- feet f.n' every decree of 1'arenheit.
Important as these facts are. they were
most strangely iLmored, or at lea-t over
hn ked, iii ali tkeearlhr atb inp's t"

t,o that the average bi i:; lo:s

may suppose, a time w hich reduced his
ratetollie lowest por-ible notch, and
probably makinir a mistake oven thou,
informed the world that sound tiave!.
nt the rate of odu feet per second. Not
lonr afterward, a Dutch phil.soph.r
reported it at l.fT-t feet. Tiio Aci de
my of Science at Paris fixed it. for a
