 Description: LIFE, in its great diversity of forms, has ever been a subject of the deepest interest to rational beings. Poets have sung of its joys and sorrows, its brilliant phantasies and harsh realities. Philosophers have spent their lives in vain attempts to solve its mysteries; and some have believed that life was nothing more than a stupendous farce, a delusion of the senses. Moralists have sought to impress men with the truth that "life is real," and teeming with grave responsibilities. Physiologists have busied themselves in observing the phenomena of life, and learning therefrom its laws. The subject is certainly an interesting one, and none could be more worthy of the most careful attention.
