Phillips Fire Annihilator.

We may with great propriety class this among
the most wonderful discoveries Of the age, and
it seems to combine in a remarkable degree the
advantages of simplicity and security. They
tappear to have given perfect satisfaction, and
the day may possibly be not fnr distant, when
TO be without Phillips Fire Anniililator' will
be looked upon as inexcusable negligence. The
prospects of the Company" are Aattcring, and
they have entered into arrangements probably
sufficiently extensive TO nectshc wants of the
community. II appears more than probable,
should the invention at all meet the anticipa-
ton of its advocates, that it will produce sem
siblc effect upon the rates Of insurance. IF tho
Annlhilator is a safety-guard why the necessity
OF a policy? But it is merely our intention to
record our conviction rather than enter into the
merits OF the question at present. A company
has been formed in this country FOR the sale OF
AnnhilatOrs. At the head of this company is
Elisha Whittlcsy, and the general manager is P.
l. Barnum. We find in the New York Tribune,
The circular of the company which contains
much that will interest the public,

THE MANIAC,
oR THE MAD-HoUsE INMATE
BY GEORGE C. HILL.

I was visiting, few autumns, ago, the
Lunatic Asylum in H, desirous OF
practically accumulating myself with the
modes of discipline there enforced, as
well as of gratifying to its full the appe-
tite of my sympathies, that Graves food
sometimes, even when, as in this case, in
dulgcuce wrought no immediate good. |
had child, some three or four years old,
with me, which led by the hand from
room to room. From patient to patient
/ went, stopping to look at each but a
moment or two, and that moment always
crowded to the full with pity and sympa-
thy.
The keeper, a very kind and sagacious,
as well as intelligent man, led me along,
commenting on tie condition, now of
this one and now of that, carefully watch
ing each patient to detect, if possible,
some new and prominent change, and al
ways dropping gentle word with each,
to work its own way unaided to their
brain, through their feelings.
As we sauntered silently along, we sud-
denly came upon young looking wo-
man, of very handsome and regular fea-
lures, with long raven black hair, that
streamed widely over her fair shoulders,
and with an eye that had such look of
calm and sweet repose, so indicative, too,
of gentleness, and woman's strong and
fervent love, as to make me turn OH the
moment and ask the keeper if he were
sure that this woman was insane.
He did not at once comprehend my
question; and, while was in the act OF
repeating it to him, the little girl whom
held by the hand, slipped from me, and
approached within the full view of the
woman. I should have known or thought
nothing Of it, had not my ears been pierc-
cd just at that moment, with most un,
earthly cry-a Cry, not of words and ar
ticulate sounds, but of shricks and Kisses,
and bellowings, all combined. My hair
stood on end. The noise was fearful to
listen to. 1t made my very blood curdle
in its veins. My flesh grew very hot;
and then icy cold chills ran fearfully over
me.
| turned to see what it meant, and was
astonished beyond all description to look
at the woman, who but moment before
was all calmncss, and gentlencss and
love. Her eyes glowed like living Goals.
Every feature Of her before handsome
face, was awfully distorted. Her lips
were drawn out into fierce lines, through
which she elected, in her momcntary ma
MIA, the noise that had so alarmed me.
Her whole countenance was livid and
frightlul. With the long locks of hair
streaming down over neck and shoulders,
the lurid glare of her eyes, the awful dis.
tortion of her features, and the ashy pale
ness of her countenance, she formed a
spectacle of human misery, such as my
eyes, for many year to come, will sum-
mon before ME.
She was confined within a cage-like
room, partitioned off from the rest of the
apartment, by a. row of perpendicular
iron bars, or rods. These she kept con-
stantly selling hold Of and shaking with
all the additional strength her frenzy lent
her, except when relaxing her right hand
from its hold, she clutched through the
bars at the little girl, as if she would tear
her to pieces.

THE FOOLISH QUARREL.

" Hush, Juana, tits quite certain :
That the coffee was not strong, .
Own your error-I'll forgive you
Why SO stubborn in the wrong3"
"You'll forgive me Sir, hate you!
You have used me like churl;
Have my senses ceased to guide me?
Do you think l am girl2"
son no you're girl no longer,
But woman formed to please;
And it's time you should abandon
Childish follies such as these"
"oh, 1 hate you! But why vcx me?
If Pm old, you're older still;
III no longer be your victim
And the creature Of your will"
"Tut, Juana, why this bother?
1t might happen l was wrong;
But, if common sense inspire me,
Still, that coffee was not strong"
"Common sense! you never had it!
Oh, that ever was born
To be welded to monster,
Who repays my love with scorn."
"Well, Juana, we'll not quarrel
e What's the use of bitter strife2
But I'm sorry Pm married;
was mad to take wife"
"Mad, indeed! Pm glad to know it;
But if there be law in Spain,
I'll be tied to you no longer
am weary of the chain."!
"Hush, Juana! shall the servants
Hear you argue ever wrong?
Can you have not done with folly?
Own the coffee was not strong"
"Oh, You goad me past endurance,
Trifing with my woman's heart;
But I loathe you and detest you-
Villain! monster let us part !"
Long this foolish quarrel lasted,
TIL Juana, half afraid
That her empire was in peril
Sunlmon'd never-failing aid.
Summon'd tears in copious torrents,
Tears, and sobs, and piteous sighs;
Well she knew the potent practice,
The artillery Of the eyes.
And it CHANGED as she imagined
Beautiful in grief was she
Beautiful, to best advantage,
And tender heart had he.
Kneeling at her side, he soothcd her
"Dear Juana, I was wrong;
Never more I'll contradict YOU
But, oh, make my coffee strong"

taken particular fancy to little mare,
