REMARKABLE CASE OF RECOVERY FROM
INsANIrY.-A man, (says the Boston
Traveler) who has for the last forty years
been confined as raying maniac in the
poor house, at Newton, has been suddenly
restored to reason. He has been regard
ed as incurable, and for great period of
She time during his confinement he has
been so violent as to render it necessary
to chain him. He appears like one aw ak
ened from long sleep, and remembering
distinctly events which occurred previous
to the loss of his reason, but nothing that
has transpired during the long years OF his
confinement.

From the s, Loui. New Era

From the St Louis New Era.
Iwould that Spring would come againl
And with her April showers,
Wake from their long and dreamy sleep
thousand buds and flowers.
Oh how pd laugh in exstacy,
To see them quick unfold,
mid sunny beams, and sparkling dew,
Their leaves of pink and gold.
Iwould that Spring would come again,
That might once more hear,
The murmuring of some gentle brook
Fall gently on the ear.
But ice has bound their music tongues,
And checked their rapid flow;
oh joyous Spring, COME forth again,
Thou'N loose their chains know;
Iwould that Spring would come again,
That might list the strains
OF birds, whose every thrilling note
Holds my young heart in chains;
That might see them futter on,
Amid their world Of green,
Like winged gems they seem 10 me,-
No brighter gems Iween.
Iwould that Spring would come again,
All is so bleak, SO lone,-
Icannot bear to hear such sounds,
AS fill the blasts sad moan.
would that Spring would come again,
With her breezes soft and low,
And lift from off earth's chilly breast
This covering Of snow.
Iwould that Spring would come again,
,4 Tho many say that Death.
Will Turk within her thousand budss
And float upon her breath,
This may be SO then, if die,
Twill soothe my heaving breast,
To think Springs early flowers
VIII blossom schere rest.
