BALL AT AN INSANE HOSPITAL.

Mr. Editor On Christmas eve attended a
ball at the Insane Hospital at this place. The
patients are very fond of dancing; one evening
in the week is generally granted them for this
amusement. The balls are held in the galle-
ries, extending the whole length of the wing
OF the building. When | entered the gallery,
they were already "trippingthe light fantastic
toe" lshould think about forty were dane
ing, and many others were lockers OH.
Tne bathroom was tasciully trimmed with
evergrcens, and the scene was truly enliven-
ing The music was excellent, and the ut
most regularity prevailed, all seeming to be
lively without being boisterous. Many were
well dressed, but some showed the wanderings
Of the mind by their ludicrous attire.-The
aged seemed to renew their youth, whilst the
young could scarcely keep their agility with
in bounds.
You would hardly believe that he who APP
proaches you with so polite a bow, to ask
your hand in the next dance, is a lunatic; nor
would YOU imagine that yon pretty gml, who
SO gaily tript across the hall, is one whose i'll
tellect is impaired. There stands silver
haired man, who, you understand by his con-
versation, has ploughed the mighty deep, i'll
former days; and he who now whirls by iii
the giddy dance, once filed the pulpit, whilst
the murderer stands with his partner, awaiting
their turn. All seem conscious that they are
inmates of an Insane Hospital, and are eager
ly striving to enjoy the present moment.
The refreshments, though simple, were a
bundant, consisting ofpopped corn andapples.
About 9 o'clock the dancing concluded, and
nearly all joined in march round the gallery.
after which the festival broke up, each appear
ing in the happest possible mood, and doubt
not but every thing is done to render them
so.-W0rceSter .IEgiS.

WATER.

Bring me forth the cup Of gold,
Chased by Druid's hands of old,
Filled from yonder fountains breast,
Where the waters are at rest;
This for me-in joyous hour,
This for me-in bcauty's bower,
This for me-in manhood's prime,
This for me-in lile's decline.
Bring me forth the humber horn,
: Filled by hunters hand at morn,
From the chrystal spring that flows
Underneath the blooming rose,
Where the violet loves to sip;
Bring me this-and ! will say
rake the ruby wine away.
Take away the damning draught,
BY the bacchanalian quatfed;
Take away the liquid death,
Serpents nestle in its breath,
Terror rides upon its flood,
Vice surrounds its bfim of blood,
Sorrow in its bosom springs,
Sorrow buoycd on pleasures wings.
Dip the bucket in the well,
Where the trout delights TO dwell,
Where the sparkling water sings
AS it bubbles from the springs;
Where the breczes whisper sweet,
Where the happy children meet;
Draw, and let the draught be mine,
Take away the tempting wine!
