WHO ARE THOSE WHO GO CRAZY P—Some time

Age I examined the bitatiatice of a lumatic asylum
n Massachusetts (says a writer in the Jew York ,bserver),
And I was astonisued to find that the largest number of
cases come from the very last class of people to which one
would have looked for the insane. The class was of young
farmers' wives I And the report stated very distinctly the
causes of this remarkable fact : young women take upon
themselves the care of housekeeping, with the toils of farra•
Life added, and those of a family too; unable to keep It
" heqa," and ambitious to be smart and keep up appear'
ances, they worry or fret themselves to death or insanity
There is a good lesson to be learned from this startling fact.
Lay it to heart, young women, and especially young ree'
thers. And nut only lay it to heart, but lay it up in your
heads, too. The moral of it is : "Don't worry ; don't over-
work; don't try to do everything at once, and all alone,
too ; don't think that the world will come to an end, or that
your folks will be ruined, if this little thing is not dune to-
night; but take things quietly, patiently, hopefully; always
be in haste, but never in a hurry; do one thing at a Olney
and do it well, and then attempt the next, and take n°
thought for the morrow—' sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof, Life is too precious to be wasted in idleness or
destroyed by worrying. Activity, energy, industry, and
perseverance are all virtues and graces to be cultivated a°
indispensable to success. But these graces are not incon-
sisteat with a calm and equable frame of mind, that meets
the sterner duties of life with faith and hope, bears adversity
with resignation, and is not overcome with prosperity, and
has learned in whatever state the lot is cast, therewith to
be content. I have known such people, and love 0
write their names with a gold pen among the Lords°
blessed ones. They are not your easy, go xi-for'
nothing, care-for-nothing people, who have settled it to
their minds that the world owes them a living, and they
are not to trouble themselves about getting it. Such de-
serve little sympathy and never command respect, even if
they receive kindness. But the people whose life is a pet.'
petual sunshine, and whose home is an earnest of another
and still better rest, are they who pursue life's work with
diligence and delight, always busy with something useful,
and never obtruding their trials on others, but contentedly
taking their lot, fulfilling their mission, making the hal°
circle cheerful with their smiles, and never, never sadden'
ing even a child's heart with a harsh word or a frown'
these are the blessed souls who have rest and peace anl
comfort, even in this vale of tears, this world of care, and
this time of war. They glow old gracefully ! Tira°
touches them tenderly I No frowns stereotype thereselvea
prematurely into wrinkles on their brows. Their heart°
are always young, and grey hairs, when they come, ere
