mcni and skill which most Of them dis
played, aud their uniform ehecrfulncss OF
spirit. According to DR.. Earle, tho vast
importance Of labor or employmer, is fully
recognised 10 most Of the European Asy-
lums, and iu some Of them this labor is We
ry profitable. In the Middlesex County
Asylum, England, more than TWO thirds
cf the patients are engaged in brewing,
washing, tailoring. shoe.making, gas-mak-
ing. aud other branches Of Industry. and
no acciden, has ever occurred from entrust.
ing dangerous tools to their hands. In our
Northern SlaIcs, however, the most grail
fyiug results are witnessed from the sys-
tenn, aud particularly al the Asylum in
Worcester. Massachusetts. That State
enjoys the high honor ofhaving within her
limits. perhaps the very best institutions for
the Insane. in The world. 10 The ample
provision which she has made, and the Gu
crsy which marks her course, she has Sc: a
noble example, which we trust will soon
extend its influence to all The States Of our
Confedcracy. While on this head, we can
not lorbear alluding particularly to the lus,
unnuul Rcpor, OF the Trustees of the Wcr-
cester Asylum. Ia the course of the year,
there were 399 patienls; and in the lan-
guaee Of the Report, "ihoy were an in
dus.rious household, all busy, all having
something 10 do, and all feeling that they
were adding 10 the general stock ofgood. 7"
The patients were employed in farming,
gardening. cabinct-makiug, baskel-mak-
ing. ma,ras and harness making, tailoring,
SC. The produce of the farm alone,
amounted to upwards Of $4,000. The
amusemeu,s are various; riding, reading,
games, walks. cultivation Of flowers 10 their
rooms or on the grounds, dancing, singing,
&c. Arrangements for systematic EN-.
ploymcnt are ip force in the Mclean :Asy-
ium, the Western Asylum Of Virginia, and
other Institutions, and the respective Off
GERS hear the strongest favorable testimony.
Dr.. Bell of the Mclean Asylum, speaks
oft "as an appliance OF moral treatment
! which has proved superior TO all others. as
regards large class of patients" Your
Committee think that i, is in the power OF
this Board to accomplish much at an in
considerable expense, and that il IS due
alike 10 the patient, and The public al large,
that this institution should afford every
possible facility. The suggestion OF Ii
brary, is earnestly recommended to your
adoption. 1t is common in similar ,nsti.
iu,icus, and has been found productive oi
decided benefit. Among the incurable pa
tents we have one. who uader the super
vision Of the Superintendent. would make
an admirable Librarian. A suitable col
lection can be procured at very small
expense. The liberality Of the conductors
of our press, the donations Of charitable in
dividuals. and, if needs be. ,rifliug appro-
priaiion from the Board, will ensure, in a
short time, all that is wanIed.

t,c Repor, of,he Committee OF Regents OF tho
South Carolina Luna,ic Asylum, which we pub
lisb to-day. This rs IN well written Report, and
gives clear and satisfactory account Of tho
condition Of the Lunnlic Asylum. This ius,i-
luton was established by the State, at Colum-
bia. in 1877. II is under the immediate con-
troll or Board of Regents. OF which body An
drew Wallace, is now President. DR.. Daniel
II. Trezvaui is Physician to the establishment,
and DR.. J. w. PHrkc, !, Superintendent, aud
Resident Physician. As Iitile has becH known
abou, this institution, by the community at
lurge, we hail the publication OF ibis Report
with pleasure, and are gratifed to find that this
establishment, is well managed. nnder the con-
troll Of its highly respectable and able officers.
Ol the eminent qualifications Of DR.. Parker, the
Superintendent, for his responsible station, we
have been for sometime apprized; under his
kind and jndeious treatment, the suiIerings of
the unfortunate inmates Of the Asylum, have
been much alleviated, and their condition as
much improved as circumstances will permit.
We hope that he win long remain in his present
Office, dispensing good to those who are placed
under his charge. It is much to be desired ,ha;
the attentions of our Legislators should bo
awakened to the Luna,c Asylum. This noble
charity is nn homo. TO South Carolina. The
suggestions Of the Committee Of Regents NEE,

adopted n, tho mex, session Of the Legislature.
Ample and mutual provision should be made
for all the unfortunate Lunatics in our land.
Ia this matter we are oil interested. and il be-
comes Us as Christians and citizens, TO employ
all proper means TO alleviate the sufferings Of
those of our friends and neishbors who are be-
re!t Of reason. individuals may do something,
but much greater amount of good can be ac-
cumplished in an institution expressly establish

set,le the question. But reason, as well

not generally the case, that tho understand
inp and moral nature are wholly IN ruins.
The subjec; is still the creature Of motive,
and through the healthy channels which
ara left, impressions may be made which
will courrel the conduct. The testimony
ofexper;ence, however, is most conclusive.
Dr. Awl, the Superintendent Of Tho Ohio
ASYLUM, speaks strongly in favor OF rei:-
eious exercises, aud beautifully remarks
iha, "in the wreck of mind and loss Of
reason, perhaps ,hs very last idea which
remains, will be something Of the rever-
ence due 10 ,he Maker Of our frames; and
], is not at all uncommon to see The aged
and demenIed Christian reverenily bend
the knee, when years OF darkness, to all
humau appearance, have shut OUT all cor
rer, knowledge Of earth and Heaven"
The Vermont Asylum has regular dali y
exercises, and short sermon on the Sab
barb, and the effect is pronounced highly
solu,ary. DR. Woodward. of the Worces-
ter State Asylum declares that. "we have
had religious worship on the Sabbath. for
more than three years--,hat no congrega-
,ion is more orderly and attentive, and that
the expectations oil benefit have been more
than realized.
The strongest testimony is borne to the
same point, by the Directors Of she Retreat
for The Insane. al Hartford, in the Report
of the Resident Physician of the Bloom
insdale Asylum; BY DR.. Bell, of the Nc
sTbc Law OF France requires one attendant

Report. there are 65 patients in this Asy-
Iuul. AID So Of them are from our own
State. Thirty nine arr Paup, 8 aud twen-
ty-six Pay Palm nls, and fifty six of the
sxly-five are incurable. These facts are
important. There is hut one unoccupied
room in the building for Females. and
about thirty for Males. Nenrl, 300 In-
sane whites among US are not provided for.
Il is fact no, TO be overlooked, that there
arc more Paupers than Pay Parients.-
The Institution is becoming a Pauper In
sti,utiou, and it is owing to the want of
proper accommodations for The higher clas.
sen. The pay for Panpers is fixed by law
at 800; a sum insufficient TO dcffav indis-

Patients therefore, contribute upwards Of
81 per ccnI. 10 The supper, Of The Paupers.
