A MOTHERS LOVE FOR A MANIAC.

Near the easterly base of the West Rock, OPP
posite the place where the ascent commences,
may be seen small rustic cottage surrounded
by few stunted trees, and standing isolated
from the world, by its remoteness from all neigh
bors. Few evidences of fertility are found in
that region. Sterile hill sides and plains where
vegetation can find but feeble hold, pervades that
rock, and the chance way-farer there, wonders
how the'inmates OF such home, can find enough
by which to sustain nature. But the wants are
few and simple, when reduced to such as are
absolutely required to nourish the animal econo-
my, and even upon the desolate heath, and
| under the shade of the sterile mountain, may
be found the means Of moderate sustenance and
support.
| which we have just alluded, but two occu-
pants. In the stiffness of that secluded spot,
strange faces are seldom seen in winter, although
during the summer many visiters to West Rock
pass it by. But during the long, dreary, inclem-
net months none, save the two we have men
toned, are to be found in this isolated abode,
And who are they? We commend the reader
to go and see. A mother, with her maniac son,
and he chained TO the floor? None other are
there. This mother has had prepossesing
look. Her costume and address are better than
the mass of her sex, in such an unfavorable sta
ton for The development of character and refine
ment ..She was not lonely she said, even
during the drearness Of winter. She had her
son for society. She had him to watch over and
care for and now he was chained he was secure
He could not get away from her. He had been
insane for eight years. Formerly he acted as
guide to the" Cave" but his insanity increased,
and he often wandered, and days would often
elapse before he returned. He was subject to
| fits, but he was now secure in the house, and
she had him for society," and to comfort her |!
ic tho fnro If n g mt
mothers affection for her children
Such was the cheerful response OF a self de-
| nying parent, when replying to the inquiries Of
a stranger who she accosted at the door, We
inquired for the son, and asked permission to see
| him. In small dark apartment to which ac-
cess was had through the little "spare" room
we found the chained maniac. He lay upon
low bed, with dim light admitted through an
opening in the wall. He was occupied in knit
ting, and thus kept in repose, seldom having any
violent paroxisms Of insanity, SO soothing even
to the disordered mind is employment Rarely
have we seen a face which bore such evidence
of character and beauty. None of the usual
squalidness Of extreme poverty In his looks.
None of the ferceness and matted hair OF the or
binary maniac His fine Grecian face and well
moulded features pallid from confinement. His
dark eye flashed out unnatural fire. His rich
beard and black hair dropping in ringlets over
his wild and supernatural face. These were
prominent characteristics of the son whom the
mother loves, and there he lives in his darkened
apartment, chained to the foor.-N II. Cour.

THE PURSUIT OF TRUTH.

The greater number of those who study nature
frequently do not consider that, with the eyes Of
prejudice, they will never discover more than that
which they have resolved beforehand to find; as
soon as they perceive facts contrary to their own
ideas, they quickly turn aside, and believe their
eyes have deceived them; or else, if they turn
back, il is in hopes to be able to reconcile them
with those notions with which the mind is i'm
bued. 1t is thus we find enthusiastic philoso-
pliers, whose prepossessions show them, even in
those things which most openly contradict opin-
ions, incontestible proofs of those systems with
which they are pre-occupied.
There are very few men in the world who
think deeply, who render to themselves an ac-
count Of their ideas, and who have penetrating
minds. business Of intellect is one Of the rarest
gifts which nature bestows on the human species
Too lively an imagination, an over-eager curios-
itv, are as powerful obstacles to the discovery
Of truth, as too much phlegm, slow concep-
tion, Incidence of mind, the want of a thinking
habit All men have more or less imagination,
curiosity phlegm, bile, Incidence, activity. 1t is
from the Just equilibrium which nature has OBJ
served in their organization that business of mind
depends. Nevertheless, the organization Of man
is subject to change, and the judgment Of his
mind varies with the changes which his system
is obliged to undergo; hence those almost per-
petual revolutions which take place in the ideas
of morals above all, when there is question
concerning those objects upon which experience
does not furnish them with any fixed basis where
on TO support them.
To seek and discover truth, which every thing
strives to conceal from u.s. and which we are fire.
quently disposed to dissimmulate to ourselves,
or which our habit,ial terrors make us fear to
find, there needs just mind, an upright heart,
in good faith with itself, and an imagination tenn
pered with reason With these dispositions, we
shall discover truth, which never shows itself
either to the enthusiast, smitten with his reve-
ries; to the superstitious being nourished with
melancholy; to the vain man, pulled up with
his presumptuous ignorance; to the man devo-
ted to dissipation and to his pleasures; or to the
reasoner disingenious with himself, who is only
disposed to form illusions to his mind,--Holbach.

.LOOK BEYOND"

When thy bosom swells with joy,
Pleasures all thy hours employ,
When thy heart is free from sorrow,
Careless Of each coming morrow,
When bright flowers are round thee strown,
Hopes fair mantle DER thee thrown,
"Look beyond . these scenes so gay,
Fleeing, soon they'll pass away.
When thy brow with care is clouded,
Youths fond dreams in darkness shrouded
When the light is faded gone
That around thy pathway shone;
When thine eye is dimmed with tears,
Sad thy spirit filed with fears,
Look beyond /" this world of woe:
Peace and JOY can God bestow.
When the loved that now are thine,
Leave thee for brighter cline;
When the grave, the bier, the pail,
From thy gaze hath taken all
When thy lonely heart doth mourn,
Hours that never can return,
Look beyond !" the silent tomb
Christ hath scattered far its gloom.
When thy days are finished here,
Deaths dark valley drawing near;
When thy feeble frame decays,
Family falls life's Pickering rays;
When bright angels DER thee bend,
Home thy spirit to attend,
Look beyond the parting hour
Trust thy Saviour's grace and power.

THE WING STANDARD.
/" BIRD OF MY HEARTH

Bird of my heart,--come sing to me
The dear old tunes of early hours,
And. as thou sing'st, I'll weave for thee
A nest of Summers sweetest flowers:
There shalt thou sleep, if on my breast
Thou find'st less congenial rest;
There shalt thou sleep, if by my side,
Thy beauteous plumes thou wilt not hide !
Bird Of my heart, in distant chimes
I've strayed since last thy notes heard
And, after Vesper's solemn chimes,
I've listened to the evening bird;
That songstress strange, who only sings
When Night unfolds her sable wings
But ah than thine fainter tale,
Was warbled by the nightingale
Bird of my heart, thy lightest tone
Lulls all my senses to repose;
So sings the eastern charmer lone,
So droops to sleep the captive rose
Come, sing-and to my soul entice
A pictured dream of paradise;
For in that dream shall not see
A houri, angel, saint, like thee
Bird of my heart, come sing to me
The song it thrills my heart to hear,
And as thou sing'st, III fancy thee
The spirit of some starry sphere
For Music, poets call divine,
And once she made her secret thine,
And, touching her melodlo"s shell,
Hung on thy lips her magic spell

turned faces pale at the sight, the whole ,hrong

sent a chill through every artery, and again does
Stiffness dwell for time over the multitude.
Now, what is there in the scene that any man
could expect to profit by? that any woman
should gloat over il with relish so indicate
and so foreign to the nature we ascribe to her
sex that one should desire the unnatural ex-
element
In the case Of lilly it is not improper to re-
mark that he met his death with an unblench-
ing cheek and steady eye. He was apparently
callous-vod Of the finer and weaker feelings
that actuate most men. His spirit was unsub-
dued by the terror and solemnity of his situation.
And it was matter of regret that he was unable
10 forget the threats and injuries which he al
legged he had received from Martin. We under
stand he spoke about three quarters of an hour
at the gallows, with clear, strong, and unfal-
lering voice, but in manner disconnected and
without point-dwelling principally upon his
various quarres with Martin, and alleged false
hoods Of some Of the witnesses in his trial
What he said had tendency to convince the
bystanders that the verdict of the jury that found
him guilty of murder was correct.-Balt. Amer

The late election in New Jersey.--Few per-
sons out Of New Jersey are perhaps aware that
only a change of less than sir dozen votes would
have demolished the present Loco majority Of
Is in the Legislature of that State, and given
the Wings a majority of sia. Several Of the
Wing members loosing their election by less
than six votes; and in some instances change
of only two votes would have elected Wings in
stead of Locos.
Thus showing, as has frequently been the
case in the election of Maryland, New York,
Massachusetts, and other States, the very great
importance Of single vote
One vote elected General Root member of
the New York Senate and one vote elected
Morton, the Locofoco Governor of Massachu-
chusetts-Balt Patriot.

Description Of a Cognele By a Lady, That
beautiful writer, Frederick Bremen, describes the
coquette as follows read it, young ladies, and
believe il:
The coquette expresses herself by caresses and
bold freedom. She is determined TO charm, cost
what il will and, passing over the line Of beau
ty, defying the good and The appropriate she
passes into the world of the senses, and, employ
ing only empty ornaments, she looses successive
ly her power, her charms, the respect Of true
men, and her own peace of mind; and beauty S
holy heaven closes its door against her.
An elevated desire to please may pass into
coquetry; but we do not see everywhere in life
that the white may become gray, and the gray
continually darker, until the color of innocence
is entirely obscured by the black Yet is the
white still there, and may lie next the black in
stainless purity just as truth may beam brightly
by the side of the darkness of falsehood. There
is an innocent and lovely desire of pleasing /;
would that every woman possessed it, and would
despise its carcature!
