the telescope and the microscope the mariners
compass, that useful discovery which he never
viewed but with wonder and admiration By
means ofthis little needle, tremblingly pointing to
the pole, the mariner was cheered on his way,
and IN the darkest njght when all the stars in the
heavens were quenched, the ship reeled on the
crested tops OF the mighty waves, was guided
with unerrng certainty towards her destined port.

mechanic arts, which he deeply reverenced if he
could not understand.
Mr. Everett concluded his address with an elo-
quent appeal to the members of the society. He
urged them to persevere in their labors-and,
said he, if any one is disposed to question you
upon your undertakings, take him TO Faneui

American Liberty fifty hung with the products
of American art-all the works of our country

Minister of Great Britain, that they should not

ed the mechanics to respect themselves and their
cangs-for human improvement had no proud
err ally-and no man had greater claim on the
respect and gratitude ofhs fellow-men than the
intelligent mechanic.

THE VERMONT ASYLUM FOR THE
INSANE

The Reports of the Trustees and Superin
Itendnnt Of this institution, as presented 10 tn,
Legislature at its late session, will be founc
upon our first page, with the exception o
the tables, for which we had not room.--
From these tables we learn that the whole

of six months standing or less; Of these,
have been discharged recovered, remain
recovered, 6 improved. and Q unimproved,
which. considering the length OF time 10
which the institution has been in operation,
shows remarkable success. Ofthe old cases
there have been discharged recovered 3, i'm

remain recovered 2, improved IL, unimprov-

thirty 10 forty. 7; forty to fifty. 0; fifty to six
ty 7. Supported by public or private chart
ty, l6.
We hope the Reports will be read, and that
the importance OF early placing insane per-
sons 10 such an institution will be impressed
on the public mind. As matter of economy
il should be done; for when one term would
perhaps suffice to effect cure Of recent
case. years might be required for an old one,
while the chances of restoration in a re-
cent and an old case are nearly as eight to
one How much better for friends 10 make
an early trial Of the benefits of such an in
stituiion and thus in all probability insure a
cure, and effect the relief of the patient from
his sutferings. and his friends from the care
and expense OF his support, than to neglect
II until he becomes confirmed incurable,
and doomed to inger out his life-a burden
and expense to his friends. and lost to society
and all its enjoymen,s.
Ii appears from the Report that so much
have the number OF applications for admis-
sion exceeded the extent Of accommodations
that IA have been necessarily rejected. We
are happy TO add however that through the
liberal appropriation Of our Legislature the
accommodations will be enlarged. II will
be remembered that $4,000 were appropria
led at the late session Of the Assembly and
we understand that the Trustees contemplate
The erection Of an additional building the
next season, on the most approved plan.
II is certainly remarkable that aiter being
