THE IDIOT AND THE BEAUTY.

The lDIOl AMI III DA!AO
From view in Tait's Magazine, of MIR,
Combe's Notes on the U. States, we quote
an. iniereresting passage descriptive of the
olickening effects produced on an idiots
{ mind by his habits Of daily intercourse
with a beautiful young girl. Moore would
turn this anecdote to admiral account IN a
: poem. In the course Of conversation, a
case was mentioned to me as having oc-
Cured in the experience of a highly res
pectable the physician, and which was
so fully authenticated that entertain no
doubt OF its truth. the physician alluded
to had patient, a young man, who was IS
almost idotic from the suppression OF all
his faculties. lie never spoke, and never
moved voluntarily, but sal habltually with
his hand shading his eyes. The physI-
clan sent him to walk as a remedial mea-
sure. In the neighborhood, a beautiful
Young girl of sixteen lived with her par
ents. and used to see the young man in
his walks, and speak kindly to him. For
some time he took no notice of her; but
after meeting her for several months, he
began to look for her, and to feel dsap-
pointed if she did not appear. He became
SO much interested that he directed his
steps voluntarily to her fathers cottage.
and gave her bouquets of flowers. BY
degrees he conversed with her through the
window. His mental faculties were rous-
ed; the dawn of convalescence appeared.
The Girl was virtuous, intelligent, and love-
", and encouraged his visits when she
Iwas told that she was benefting his men,
s:fal health. She asked hmif he could read
sand write. He answered, No. She
Swrote, some lines to him to induce him to
TO learn. This had the desired effect. He
applied himselfto study, and soon wrote
good and sensible letters to her. tie re-
covered his reason. She was married to
young man from the neighboring city.
Great fears were entertained that this
event would undo the good which she had
accomplished The young patient sus-
tanned a severe shock but his mind did not
sink under it. He acquiesced in the pro-
priety of her choice; continued to improve,
and; at last, was restored to his family,
cured. She had child, and was soon at
ter brought to the same hospital perfectly
insane. The young man heard of this
event, and was exceedingly anxious to see
her: but an interview was denied to him,
both on her account and his own. She
died. He continued well, and became an
active member of fsociety. What beau
tiful romance might be founded on this
narrative!

Womon'S Lore. An lrshman was lat"
" imprisoned in New Orleans. His wife
was permitted to visit his window. She
took her two children and with them re-
mained in the same position till her hus-
bands release. She was advised by some,
Slwho felt for her gricf, to 60 home, when
ssshe replied that she 'had no home if he
s,eould.nehcome to it, Her remark com.
DE- volumes, and evinccs woman's deep
a&tRrdent devotion to the man she loves.
What more feeling and beautiful reply
could have been framed than the one, she
shad no home if he could not come to it,
Evervmanwould fndit beneficial tore
view at night the transactions of the day;
to keep kind of debt and credit with
Time. This would exhibit the errors of
the past, and, perhaps, induce us to cor
rect them---if not they would remain as a
standing reproach to us. We have ex-
amples of menwho had made regular
division of time, devoting SO much Of each
day to particular employment, and there
is not single instance Wltnln our recllec.
ton where the person who has adopted
and diligently pursued this practice has
failed Of success. Men in humble sta
tions of life, who labor for their daily sub
sistence are too often impressed with the
belief that it is impossible for them to
reach higher than their present avocations,
and therefore make no effort. But let
them count the timet they losein frivolltles,
or uninstructiye amusements. and they
will be astonisned to discover that, had it
been employed in useful reading, they
would have been able to accumulate a
large amount of information. We have
seen Il that a laboring blacksmith, by devo.
ting his spare hours and even minutes tc
study, has acquired a knowledge of some
forty or fifty languages. Now it is.not te
be expected that every one can accomp
l.sh this; but he who makes the effort, al
though he fall far short of the Learned
blacksmith, will acquire information
: he would not otherwise possess; and tn
fruits ofhis exertions will prove a so!ac
ifnot aproft to him. He will not wal
in the path Of ignorance. We are. com
