Diessibility is that property in matter which allows of its being divided into parts; these parts are again separable inte other and minuter particles, and so on, if wo regard matter mathematically, ad infinitum Whether matter be infinitely divisible or not, is a question which the limited nature of our faculties renders it impossible to answer.

But these atoms, where are they? Like the points and lines of math- ematicians, they exist oniy in the imagination of the philosepher. When it is said, for instance, that a line is length without breadth, it is obvious that to draw such a line is practically impossible; wo may make an vig temp meres and, with delicate instruments, draw one so fine that it can only be distinguished by a microscope. This is the case with the lines of the micrame- ter scale, used for the purpose of meesuring microscopical objects. A millimetre, or the tenth part of aninch, is divided into one hun- dred equal parts by fine lines drawn parallel to each other, which are graved on a fine glass plate, by means of a diamond fixed in a ma- chine. This isa great triumph of art; but der the act of 1850, coramonly called Texas-in- demnity stock, a premium of 6 por cent. Interest will also be allowed, at the rate stipu- lated in the certificates, from the ist July last to the day of settlement here, with one day in addi- tion, to enable the Treasurer’s draft to reeck the Party.

Payment for these stocks will be made by drefts upon the assistant treasurers at Boston, New York or Philadelphia, es the parties entitled to receive the money By direct.

Due notice will Wo have many surprising instances of the misute division of matter by art. The gold beaters, for instance, can beat gold into leaves so thin, that if three hundred thousand of them were laid on one another, they would not be an inch thick. One single grain of gold admits being drawn out into a wire nine- ty-eight yards long, and an equestrian statuo may be gilded all over with a gold dollar. Yet all this is nothing when compared with the extent to which Nature goes in the divi- sion of matter. S The efiluyium which excites the sense of smell, consists of an incalculable number of small particles of matter given forth by the perfuming body, and so minute as to be alto- gether invisible to the eye. The efiiuvium given forth by a grain of musk has been Known ed tt goes an epartment for twenty years, and yet at the expiration of that time, there was no sensible diminution of the musk.

But the powers of the microscope have in- deed revealed wonders to usin thi particular. The unassisted vision of man takes in, in a se- ries, the animated chain of nature, from the ciephant to the mite, and at this point com- mences a new order of animated existences, animaleul#—in some instances so small that three hundred millions of them would not cover the superfices of a grainof sand. No naturelist ever yet was able to ascertain the point at which existence terminates; on the contrary, there is every reason to suppose that there isa class of animaleul@ beyond those which the most powerful microscope has yet revealed. Some of these little beings are highly organized, having a complete circuin- tory cndidigestion system. How exceedingly minute must be their organs, vessels and fluids! How delicate the processes carried on inthem! A whale requires an ocean to swim in; a hundred willions of these creatures wou!d find ample room for all their evolutions in a drop.

You may crush the parts of a body to powder, melt it into a li- quid, and, by a still intenser application of heat, dilate it into a gas and dissipate it in vapor, but it still continues in being, and in many instances, can be collected again into a bedy without change of form. Mercury and water may be converted into vapor without the loss of a single particle. The decay and ultimate disappearance of organized bodies, animals, and plants, is only a process by which their associated particles are again liberated in order that nals may enter into new living combinations.” Thus death itself becomes the source of life, There must be death in order that there may be life. There is but a limited amount of matter existing in nature, aud its appear- ance in any living fabrio implies a draught on her resources which would be speedily ex- hausted, if there were not an equivalent amount returned in that death and disintegra- tion 4@ which all are subject. Wherever there is life there is attraction. Each germinating seed, what is it but a centre of attraction, around which dead inorganic matter collects to be moulded into a living or- ganized form. Wherever there is death there is repulsion.
