MAD THROUGH EXCESSIVE JoY.-A writer de-
scribing the Lunatic Asylum at Blackwell's Is
land, says: s'Here is woman whom joy has de-
prived Of her senses Her husband and child were
on board vessel which was wrecked. Going
down the shore every day, as if the wish of being
nearer the beloved objects that lay buried beneath
the sea, suddenly she beheld them landing from
vessel which had picked them up and saved
them. An overwhelming flood of joy pervaded
her bosom-and then reason was gone forever
She has never known them since, but sits on what
she thinks the same rock, where she used to be-
wall their fate, wringing her hands and moaning
most piteously-while every week the husband
and son come in and gaze on her face, in hope to
rouse one CLEAN of memory-but in vain.''
ANOTHER New BANK.-A bank has been or
ganized in Chicago, on Spiritual Rapping princi-
pies. The President, Cashier, Teller, &C., are
mediums. They enquire as to the responsibility
of borrowers by calling up some spirit. Unfortu-
nately for the band, the cashier called up the
spirit of Gen. Jackson, the other day, and the old
fellow threatened to remove the deposits. What
makes the matter still more mortfying, he refuses
to leave, "by the eternal Like other unfortu-
mates we wot of, the bank has raised spirit that
will not down at its bidding, and will not be exer
cised though at last accounts all the officers, with
the aid of Spiritual Board, and two galvanie
batteries were bringing their powers to bear in
vain. 1t is feared the bank will break, at leas
be compelled to suspend until the old general
leaves. Miss Fox has been sent for.-Latayett

they sing in the language ofan Australian bard
When hot December's sultry breeze
Scarce stirs leaf of yonder trees!
Soils, streams, vegetables and animals are
equally puzzling. The richest soils are often
found on the tops of the hills. The valleys are
cold the hill tops warm. Rivers flow from the
neighborhood of the coasts into the interior where
they become lost. Trees do not shed their leaves,
but only their bark; and most of them afford no
shade. The cherries grow with their stones out
side. The birds don't sing, the dogs don't bark
the bees don'tsing, the flowers don't smell. The
mole (ornithoryncus) is a fish, and the kangaroo
carries its young in a est attached to its body.
Australian swans are black and Australian eagles
are white Cuckooo, coo in the night, the owl
boots in IKE day, and the Australian jackass is a
bird But above all things, the working people
in Australia are not poor That is perhaps the
most crowning and satisfactory contrariety of all.
