Many theori'i's, however, have descended .to us from ancient times chiefly because they are ancient and uo one takes the trouble to inquire into them closely to ascertain their soundness. Such is the case with the generally acknowledged and accepted doctrine that the heart is the organ and seat of the affections. "We confidently affirm that we have made a grand discovery on this impor taut question, this supposed physiolog ical lact, though we have no pretense to be professed anatomists, nor can we say that we have gained our knowledge in the dissecting room. It has beeu assumed that the brain is the organ of the mind that it is the seat of the intellect and that, if it be diseased or destroyed, the mind suffers with it. To that doctrin we offer no objection. It has also been assumed, and has long been the prevailing opinion,, that the heart is the seat of the affections ; and we might quote, not only from poets and novehots, but. from much graver and more soer literature, to prove ea silv that such is the seneral belief. All the virtues and soft emotions, and also their opposites, are said to proceed from the heart ; varying in . degree and char acter according to the goodness or bad ness of that belied orran. Now to this doctrine we object : and not only do we consider the theory a mistake, and that it cannot stand the test of examination, but we meet the theory bv the proposition that another organ is really the seat of the affections, and that the heart is not at all concern ed in the matter. The orsjan we con tend for is the stomach. It is very true, and we at once ac knowledge, that we can bring no anat omical proof of our doctrine irom the structure of the stomach, nor can those who might argue on the other side show any such proof from the anatomy of the heart. It is only by watching the a;tion8 of each that light can be thrown on the subject. True, when powerful emotions of love or hate have been excited, the heart's action is suddenly and often violently increased, the pulses beat tast and tu- rious, there is a flushing of the face and a blush. But this is only because the emotion disturbs the heart, as it does the respiration, and the same effect is produced from other than moral causes, as by running, pimping, or any violent and rapid bodily exercise ; also, by a very hot room, or a glass of brandv. Tr . . J we mignt as wen assert that the lungs were the seat of the affections, for they l. 111.1 are disturbed oy tne same causes. If the heart, as an organ, were the scat of the affections, and of all the tender feelings or their opposites, these feelings would alter and become morbid, if the heart were diseased; as we find the mind becomes disordered when the brain is wrong. It is well known that this is not the case. There is a disease where the heart becomes enormously enlarged, but it is not tound that the moral large heart, as it is called, is the consequence. A man is said to have a large heart when he shows a noble benevolence and a wide philanthropy ; but his real heart, the organ itself j remains of its natural size, while possibly a miser who hoards up every penny, and never did an act of j-"uiyiii ins lite, dies ot an enlarged heart. The heart is sometimes found converted into a bony, half stony 'Structure, causing much suffering dur nS life; but the afflicted owner of this Jlarl heart is often the kindest, the "10!t tender, the most amiable of human beings. It has been said of i very .,lnS woniau that she . was all heart, iiereas in reality her heart remains un changed in size or in structure, and she retains the usual complement , of legs ana arms, and so forth. Many people "ave diseased hearts; these cases are .isny recognized by doctors, by ' the -i' iu mat -wondertul searcher of 'rts the stethoscope ; . but though mey have the :mlauy tor years, getting gradually worse and worse, and though the progress becomes more and more distinctly marked, until they die of it, and a post mortem examination verifies the opinion given of the case, yet the af fections have never been found to have been impaired ; the patient remains as good, as gentle, as loving and as be nevolent as before the change began. It remains to prove that the real organ of these emotions is the stomach. Here we can confidently appeal to facts daily see and acknowledged. We can also easily show that iu very old times this truth was well known and accepted, so that we are not broaching an entirely new doctrine, but one frequently set forth in the oldest litera ture. The Old Testament abounds in proofs' that the digestive organs, of which the stomach is the most im portant, were recognized as those which influence the affections, and not the heart. Witness such expressions as 'bowels of Mercy,' 'bowels of com passion,' 'Joseph's bowels yearning to ward his brother Benjamin.' Many more might be quoted, as such phrases frequently occur, showing that the truth was well recognized in the days of the patriarchs. We do not pretend to be able to prove when the change of doc trine took place, or how it was that the he.irt came to supersede the original organ. When we see a lovely and bewitch ing woman, is it not common to say that we could eat her up? One love stricken swain was known to have said this of his intended bride, but some months after his marriage, on being reminded of it, he rather regretted he had not doue it. Do not mothers often say, in a fit of ecstatic fondness, that they could eat a lovely cherub of a child Benevolent feelings toward all mankind are notoriously prompted by a good dinner. Numbers of our charitable in stitutions depend on this recognized fact, and the subscription plate is sent round, never before, but always after dinner. See the contrast between the amounts of the collections in a church- plate, even after the most eloquent and touching of sermons (but before dinner), and those obtained at public dinners for the benefit of a hospital or school ! Then again, to come to fine details, notice how happv, serene, and full of charitable feelings a man shows himself to be when his stomache is comforted, refreshed, and soothed by a well-dressed UllJlJtTL Ul (111 tllv IIV 1 XV IV O X VII V- j on the other hand, how snarling, how sulky, how ready to quarrel with the wife of his bosom and the children or his loins is the man whose stomache has been offended by an ill-dressed, bad, and indigestible meal. Then "again, while love and tender ness- exist unchanged in the man whose heart is seriously diseased or even actnallv ossified, a deranged or a dam aged stomach occasions melancholy, disgust, envy, hatred, and all uncharit ableness. Observe the effects of a sea vovagc on the stomach as the organ of the affec tions. A devoted young husband, on his wedding tour, crosses the channel with his leloved bride. Watch him ; all attention, all tender care to cover her with Ids cloak, to bring her a soft pillow, before the vessel quits the harbor; but when the tossing or pitch ing begins, and his ttomaeh feels the horrid qualms of sea sickness, he leaves the fair creature to her fate or-to the stewardess, and is savage if she im plores him to bring her a basin or to hold her head. This change lasts only while his stomach is overset. As soon as that organ regains its normal condi tion, as scon as the boat steams into the harbor, his love, his tenderness returns apace, and lie is again devoted. There will be a considerable difficulty in overcoming tne long estaonsnea prejudice on this point, and we must await the further enlightenment of the world, satisfied that in the end the truth will prevail. Poets especially will rebel against the organic change which ought to follow when the doctrine is fully recognized ; as it will be anythiug but easv for them to get rhyme for stomach as for heart ; and though both mJ ty are equally parts of the frame, there will be, for a time, a sort of repugn mce on their part to bring forward as poet- icnl stock, what thev will be pleased to call a more animal and a less sentimen ' . tal view of the matter. One comfort is, that the fact will re -.. 1 t Mm mam, and that it does not mucn matter what designation may be given to it. The man who fancies he is clasping to his heart the long lost love or the re turned child, when in point of fact he really holds the beloved object to his stomach, will not have made a very wide mistake, as the map of the two organs will show that they are situated witnin an men oi each other. 3-r.
