Feeling, he says. is in the sensorium; the percep ion of this in the skin That is, when lay my hand upon an object, it is my brain. not my hand that :eelS it's form. My hand, seems, it is true, to feel, but this he argues is only an appear ance. In the brain, he says, there is an ep- itome of the whole man. In fact, that the man resides in the senSorium, as to the mi. nutest particulars, and merely communicates with the external world by means of the ex lernal senses, which make no part of the man really. The type of the hand, he says, is in the brain. or rather, the mans real hand is in the brain, and this is the hand tha. feels when the physical appendages to the body bearing the same name come in contact with any object, and appears to feel. This is his main position, and he br ngS in the fact that after a man has lost his hand he still feels the hand to be in the same plat e, as one Oi i;s rroCCs'

 "A very SinSu al position, certainly, Miss Gray remarked, with an air OtaSSu:ned con tiieuce. but She was not suffered to re- main a, her ease long. Doctor Philips saw that his etiOrt to pnu.s ani humble the blue was thus far completely successful, and he did not mean to stop u"tl his revenge was complete. Gradually he went deeper, and in.rpiu:e'i subjects appertaining to nu- man physiology, yet managed ln keep them sufficiently free rom leclificallies io ena bIe any one to comprehend them. aud even to ioln in the conversation with interest, if even Sma,tering of anatomy had been ac. quired. But Miss Gray had not even a s.nailering on the subject, and she was com pelled to expose her ignorance at every tIrn.

 As for tie auditors who were present ou- ring the conversation, they were delighted.

The incident soon became kr.Own through lhe village, and Doctor Philips was conSratul.' ted on all hands He had fought the con. cei,ed fair one with her own weapons, and completely di>comf,ed her.

 For time, Phebe Gray was terribly mol lified Bu, she had some good sense left and this kep, her from running away f'on Flo. aville.

 Many weeks did not elapse before the doc tor and Miss Gray again met, and as or former occasions, in company. So comple tt had been the discontinue of the young h. dy. and so marked had been the effect upor her, that Doctor Philips halt-regre,Ied ths xeve, i,y of the lesson he had lt, compelled to teach h"r. His victory had saiiated him and he was disposed 10 submit to the los: of few of the laurels he had gained, in or der to let the young lady recover in som' measure the self atisiactiOn she had lost : But Miss Gray felt no disposition to meas ure swords again with So S.illful an antsS OniSt

Neither in,rodu ced subjects, except of common interest, an on ,h, se they ccnversed without any effor a, display. Upol the whole, Doctor Phil ips was pleased with the interview. an Miss Gray was no otherwise affected.

 Soon afterwards they met again and part ed not only pleased with the interview, hu pleased with each other. After this the me, more frequently, whether hy design q not canno, he said; hut this was certain Doctor Philips read few hours every wee on subjects ot general literature. and Mis- Gray few hours every day on scientifi subjects, and those relating especially 10 an imal and vegetable physiology.
