TOUCHING SCENE IN AN INSANE AsY.
LUM.

A LITTLE CHILD AMONG LuNAr1Cs.-A day or
two ago q gentleman, whose official duties required
him to visit a large asylum near this city devoted
to the INDECENT insane, took with him u little boy
some three years old, and it was an interesting
study to watch the effect which the presence of the
young visiter produced among the ~lunatics of every
grade. An unusual degree of quiet and order
prevailed in every hall, and touching manifesto
tons of the softening and subduing influence of
childhood were exhibited by those who were ordi-
narily most intractable. This was particularly the
the case with those who had passed the season of
youth. One man, incurably insane, approached
the little boy with a countenance for the moment
full of gentleness and kindness, and with a polite
gesture handed him a Stratc, being all that he had
to give, and showed great satisfaction when it was
accepted and borne as if it had been of value. AL
most all approached and shook hands with the in
FAINT, and so mild was their bearing that he did
not for a moment hesitate, and, although abashed
at what was to him an unusual crowd, he cheerful
ly yielded his little hand to their caresses. But
the most interesting scene was in the woman's
apartments. They were ready to devour the child
with their caresses, and yet. when they observed
that their ~crowding and volubility annoyed him,
instinctivaly withdrew a little and modulated their
voices to tones of tenderness, to which many of
them had long been strangers. One of the women,
herself n mother, inquired with fearful eyes;
Dear little fellow, is his mother living?" An
affirmative reply seemed to relieve her apprehen-
slons, ana ner, expression OF interest assumed q
more cheerful tone. The most violent, closely con-
fined in cells, watched every movement of the boy,
with intense interest, and some begged, by all the
affection for their own offspring, which insanity in
its worst form had not eradicated, to be PERMITTED
to embrace him. The whole scene was calculated
to deepen the sympathy felt for the most unfortu-
nate class who were the object of the visit, and tc
show how strongly the society Of children is calcu
lated to win back to gentleness those who, from
any cause, have passed that indcfinable line which
separates the sane from the insane. Such sooth.
ing effects are of course transient, but it was some
thing to obtain for those poor vcxed souls even q
moment of calm delight.

VIGILS.
BY MARTHA RUSSELL.

From the caves, with a mournful cadence,
Drips the cold September rain,
And the swaying broughs of the naples,
Seem vexed with q sense Of pain.
And, faint through the gathering darkness,
Comes the voice of the restless sea, Pc
Like the moan of a troubled spirit,
On the shore of Destiny.
The last, pale flowers are pressing
Their lips to the cold, wet ground,
While the treacherous winds sweep DER them
With q weary, dirge like sound.
And q leaden sense of sorrow
Weigheth on my heart and brain =
But not for the plantive murmurs
OF the trees in the Autumn rain.
And not for the vexed waves moaning,
AS they break on the rocky Shore
For the spells of gentle moonbeams
Will charm them to rest once more.
And not for the blighted flowers,
Do l these vigils keep
- IhS O"S "a oPiihS i"i ""hO
From their long and wintry sleep.
But a much loved voice in SILENT
hand clasps mine no MORE
And no earthly spring shall ever
A ~love-lit glance restore.
For one whom we fondly cherished
Our dim eyes seek in v%ain,--
And fast on her grave is falling
This cold September rain.
For this in my lonely chamber,
Do | sit with wakeful eyes,
While my thoughts 60 forth to the chul ch-yar,
Where the form of my sister lies.
know that our Heavenly Father
Extendeth his love over all =
But my heart is heavy with sorrow,
And still must these tear-drops fall.

GOING TO CHURcm-FIRsT TIME.-The Knicker
booker tells an amusing anecdote of old Peter G., q
hale, hearty, Woodworking, bluff blunt, open-heart
ed farmer, who thought more of looking after his
stock and farm, than of visiting a house of worship
on the Sabbath day. A near neighbor, who was
his very opposite, and thought it sacrilege to miss
Il regular church-meeting, called on Peter one day,
and asked him to attend on the next Sabbath, to
hear Parson D|preach; who, by the way,
had built up q large church in the village. So
Peter promised that he would be there on the next
Sunday. Punctual to the time, as Peter thought,
but a little too late, he arrived at the door, which
was closed, and the minister had commenced. Pc
ter Knocked at the door. Some one sitting near
opened it. In walked Peter, with his ever blunt
de do how de do ?" and looking up at the
minister, he said, "Sir, how'd do 2" and, walking
up the aisle, he spoke to every one, all of whom he
knew. When his friend who had invited him,
rose up to seat him in his pew, he graspedh him by the
hand and, with his loud voice said, 'tHow are your
and how are yours ?" which made such an unusual
connection, that the congregation was in one litter
during the whole sermon. This was his first and
last visit to Parson D---'s church. He said,
they were the most dry, and unsociable set of
people he had ever seen, when they had got on their
Sunday-go-to-meeting faces"

AN UNsELFIsH PRAYER.-A correspondent of the
National MteHigencer, writing from Florida, gives
an incident in relation to a prayer offered by re.
quest during a severe drought, by a venerable
Methodist preacher who bore no good will to the
Baptists. Ills prayer was somewha remarkable
for its ueselfsh tone, and ran this wise: "Let il
rain, beginning at my plantation, in Hamilton
county. coming down the religious neighborhoods
of Columbia and Nassau, where immersion is not
practiced, and reaching Black Creek, even Black
Creek, and bringing forth in abundance, none Of

TIE CAUSES OF THE SOULE Affair.

The Republican correspondent OF the Courier
dss Flats Unis details at length the private rea.
sons which; as he would have us believe, induced
Louis Napoleon TO deny Mr. Soule the privilege
Of entering his empire:
In lsi9, Mr.. Soule made voyage to Spain, where
he had been called by important business intrusted TO
him as an advocate. Having finished the business Of
his client he began to think little of his own, and
came TO Paris, where his high reputation placed him
at once IN the hes! society He then ffequened the
upper circles, and one fine day his friend, Frederic
Gaillardet who at that time very intimate with
the President Of the Republic, produced him at the
Elysee and presented him to Louis Napoleon. The
Prince as he had begun to De called a. that time re-
ceived Mr.. soule very eiyy, but exhibited the most
complete nuty in the protracted conversation which
be had with his guests. So much so, that after the
visit, Mr. Soul said 70 ". Gsilardet az they were
going away, Ny friend, your Prince is goose, and
| greatly regre; that France has fallen into sueh
hands
Gailardet ascrbed the stupidity Of the prince to
headache and asked Soue TO once more do violence
TO himself and make another visit to fElysee so that
he could talk further with the President assuring him
that be would form quite different opinion oil nm on
second audience. But Soule, who had already made
sacrifice, as he said, in rubbing his republican gar
ments on the upholstery Of the Presidential palace,
obstinately refused to undertake new conyersaion
with the hero Of strasbourgh, and returned to Ame
ca without seeing him again.
Louis Napoleon was exceedingly displessed at the
affair Although, on the whole, be Is poor stick

which he makes Cd those who approach him, and on
tbs occasion be could pot conceal from himself tha.

will give dignity to the contest. for the sake

We never saw a better illustration of the
truth that disputant who cannot refute his op-
psnents statement can always refute something
else. We do not know that q single American
journal has proposed to go to war with Louis Ma
poleon on account of bis treatment Of NJ. Soule.
All We ever desired was to let the French ruler
severely alone. You need not knock man down
because he has kicked your hat lying beside you;
but you certainly may pick up your hat and walk
off with it, taking away any other property you
may happen to have in the neighborhood of your
pugnacious and bullying neighbor. This is all
we would have done in the case of NJ Soue.
