4 Nopel Scene in a Madhouse.-We find the
following account in late foreign paper
how pleasing a contrast it forms to the dread
full scenes which were formerly enacted in in
situations Of this kind -
"A ball and concert were given last week
at the Nottingham Lunatic Asylum, at which
nearly all the parents were presents very
large and commodious room was fitted up
with flowers and evergreens for the occasion.
Benches were placed ON each side of the apart
ment for the male and female patients. The
Entertainment commenced with gee-singing,
which seemed much to attract their attention;
and one poor man began to sing and recite
verses in the most p intive and melancholy
manner; yet all was order and decorum.
When dancing commenced, each person Sc
lected, indlscriminateiy, his partner; and the
country dances were danced with as much cor
RICHNESS as is seen in more rational circles /;
and really most of the patients seemed to en-
10y the enlvening scene. The matron and
several of the attendants and visitors danced
with the patients, and there was not the least
restraint or apprehension. Some few despon.
ding patients were brought into the room, in
the hope that the festive SCENE might roGse
them from their wretchedness but their mall
ady appeared to be too deeply seated for them
to be much relieved. The scene altogether
was one OF most gratifying nature, and fully
proved the advantages of the modern humane
treatment over the brutality and cruelty of fot-

We meet daily, says the n. Y. Mirror. with
accounts of crime, the result Of cupidity, in our
own country. but we have yet some steps to adj

mony and as she passed through the street she re

Spirit of Painting, precious power,
Delightful and endearing art,
Restoring to the present hour
The severed treasures Of the heart
Love halls thee as her firnest friend,
And Friendship owns thy influence here
That can the cloudy curtain rend,
Which hides the distant and the dear.
Were't not for thee how sad their doom,
Who weep for those whom absence holds
Or the drear drapery of the tomb,
Within its solemn precincts folds.
AT thy command the features rise,
Which we in life have loved SO we'll
The gentle lips and lovely eyes,
That long on earth have ceased TO dwell
The salntcd form of her appears,
Upon whose kind and faithful breast,
We used, in childhood's helpless years,
In smiling confidence, to rest.
The reverend brow of him, perhaps,
Who watch'd the erring days of youth,
Saved us from many a fatal lapse,
And checr'd us in the course of truth
Or the sweet soothing face of one,
Bearer than mother, father, friend;
Whose loss can be supplied by none
Liie's idol. till its dream shall end.
Each object hallowed by our hearts,
Benignant power tits thine to save
To bring back those whom distance parts,
And cen to triumph DER the grave.
