Illusions of the Brain.

DIR. Gooch relates the of lady who, in con-
sequence Of an alarm Of fire, believed that She
was the Virgin Mary, and that her head was
constantly encircled by brilliant halo Dr.
Twins gives an account Of an intellectual young
gentleman who, from some morbid association
with the idea Of an elephant, was struck by a
horrifc spasm whenever the word was named,
or even written before him; and TO such
pitch was infatuaiion carried, that elephant
paper, if he were sensible it was such, pro-
duced the same effect. A similar case is told
of gentleman who, on narrowly escaping
from the earthquake at Lisbon, fell into a state
of delirium whenever the word earthquake was
pronounced in his hearing. The Rev. John
Mason, Of Water Slratford evinced 10 every
thing sound judgment, except that he believed
that he was Elias, and foretold the advent of
Christ, who was 10 commence the millennium
at Stratford. A lady, twenty-three years Of
age, afflicted with hys,erical madness used to
remain constantly at the windows Of her apart
ment during the summer. When she saw
beautiful cloud in the sky, screamed out Gar
verin, Garverin, come and take me = aud re-
peated the same invitation until The cloud dis
appeared. She mistook the clouds for balloons
sent up by Garvcrin. The Rev. Simeon
Brown died with tn. conviction that his ration
al soul was annihilated by special fiat of the
Divine will; and patient in the Friends
Retreat al York, thought he had no soul,
heart, or lungs. There was tradesman who
thought he was seven shilling piece, and
advertised himself thus - If my wife pre-
sents me for payment, don't change me-
Bishop Warburton tells us Of man who
thought himselfa goose pie ! and DIR. Fee ri
day, of Manchester, had patient who thought
he had swallowed the devil
In Paris there lived man who thought he
had, with others, been gUillotined and when
Napoleon was emperor their heads were all re-
stored, but in the scrabble he got the wrong
one Marcus Dcn1tus tells of one 'Vicenti-
nus who believed himself toa large to pass
one Of his door-ways. To dspel this illusion,
It was resolved by his physician that he should
be dragged through the aperture By force
This erroneous dictate was obeyed but as he
was forced along, Vicentnus screamed out in
agony that his limbs were fractured, and the
flesh torn from his bones. In this dreadful
delusion, with terrific inprecatioDs against his
murderers, he died. sflurfrlf-

Husband in Trouble.

few days since. lawyer of this city was
seated in his Office busily employed in studying
out a plea, when the door opened, and young,
stout son Of Erin entered, DOTTED his hat, and
said that he desired to take an advice of 'his
honor The lawyer babe him sit down, and
inquired his business.
Shure, he replied, / want divorce from
my wife Biddy.'
The lawyer asked what was the trouble,
but Pat seemed very 10th to tell.
Does she not treat you well, does she not
take care of your house, has she deserted you,
or does she like any one better than yourselfp
were inquiries made by the lawyer, who en-
deavored for some time in vain to pump out the
reason of the desire for a divorce. At last,
weary of,the investigation, the disciple of Coke
informed his woulC-Je client that he could do
nothing for him without knowing all the facts
of the case.
Well, if 1 must / must, replied the hus-
band; 'Shure there's little ddrAnt I lore better
than Biddy. a FHnaH
The lawyer could hardly refrain from laugh
ter sufficiently to inform the Hibernian, that
the law could not touch such a case as his,
and Pat left with countenance more of sor-
row than of anger. Boston Traveller.

Sensible Hogs.

Some years age | made visit to the bay of
Funda, ard finding coy place there quite to
my mind, | spent week or more in that vi
cinity While there had occasion, to no
tice the movements Of certain hogs who came
down to the beach at low tide to feed upon the
clans which abound in the sand. You are
aware that the tide rises thirty or forty feet in
that part Of the country. The consequence is
that it must come and recede very rapidly; SO
swift indeed does it rise, that cattle unacquan-
ted with this state Of things, not unfrequently
get overtaken by the water and drowed. The
old hogs in those parts, however get accus-
toned to the tide. They find out not only
that it waits for no man, but that it waits
for no hog. One day while was on the beach,
| saw 4 regiment of hogs as busy as they
could be, roofing for clans and feasting on
them. Watching them very carefully, could
not help noticing that several of their number
ever and anon placed one ear in the attitude of
listning. They would remain in that position
a moment or two and then 90 on digging CLANS
Finally, one cunning old fellow, after listening
an instant, uttered the well note of alarm, and
off he and the whole regiment ran at the top
Of their speed, out Of the reach Of the tide
When | placed my ear as near the ,grouud as
did the hogs, Immediately discovered what
they discovered and what | did not know be-
fore, the roar Of the incoming tide; and found
it necessary to retreat aboutas speedily as they
had done. What do you think of that reader

A Modern Cincinnatns

In long and pleasant conversation ro.oo,,
with distinguished friend, whose mind i r;.L
with the recollections of the past, We gathered
many incidents, not the least interesting ,r
which was the following At the session Of
the South Carolina Legislature in 1914, the
members were perplexed for suitable man to
elect Governor. The difficulty did not arise
from any scarcity of candidates, for then, as
now, men were ambitious, but from want of
the right sort of a man. The matter became
worse as the time wore on, and the election Of
some objectionable candidate seemed ineyita-
Bile. One day, however, as several of ,ber
were conversing upon the matter. Judoe
O'Neall,. then-a young man, and present nv
invitation, remarked: Why not elect Cen

A New View OF NIAGARA The Ohio
State Journal tells story of an Irishman Of

to the fashionable mania in paying a visit to
the Falls of Niagara. Paddy arrives at the

Curious Companionship.

We find in the Salt Lake Report, the fol-
lowing account Of The wonderful companion
ship Of bird, beast and reptile:-
I'VE passed to-day through large village
or settlement Of the prairle-dog, (Arctomys ~
doridiaaa,) extending in length not less than
half a mile. These little animals are very
shy, and at the approach of stranger, HE
themselves with all speed to their holes, in
which they partly bury their bodies, leaving
only their heads visible just above the surface
of the ground, where SO long as the alarm
lasts, they keep up a continual barking The
note somewhat resembles the bark of small
puppy, but is nevertheless so peculiar as to
W instantly recognized ever afterwards, BY
any one who has once distinctly heard it.
They are very hard 10 get, as they are never
found far from their holes; and when shot
fall Immediately into them, where thew are
generally guarded by rattlesnake-the usual
sharer of their subterranean retreat. Several
were shot by US in this. situation, but when
the hand was to be thrust into the hole to
draw them out, the ominous rattle Of this
dreaded reptile would be instantly heard,

warning the intruder of the danger he was
about to incur. A little, white, burrowing
owl also (&ryr c,nacu1a,ia) is frequently
found taking up his abode in the same domicil ;
and this strange association of reptile, birds
and beast, seem to live together in perfect
harmony and peace. | have never personally
seen the owl thus housed, but have been as
sured Of the fact from so many, so various, and
so credible sources, that cannot doubt them.
The whirr of the rattlesnake | have heard

wade these holes, and our men at length be-
came afraid to approach them for this pur-

GBt Mnse.
From the New York Churchman.
The Cross on the. Spire.

The first object on which my eye rests
morning is the Cross, for, from my pill0'o, loo
up to that which surmounts the srire OF tn
church of the Annuciation.
When first the mornings rosy ray
Unseals mine eyes to catch the light,
And chasing every shade away
The glad day comes, on pinions bright;
lis then, ere earthly thoughts are mine,
y. The holy Gross. uplifted high,
A beacon from the world divine,
mark against the deep blue sky.
And hath it not voice for me
Listen, hear its solemn tone,
And thus it speaks, though happily
1t may be heard By me alone:
Sleeper, awaken-duties call,
Rouse thee, and with the coming sun
Shake off dull slumber's leaden pail,
And grid thy Christian armor on.
IT'S noon-and mid the busting cares
And vexing ills Of daily life.
If doubts perplex, or sin ensnares,
And am weary with the strife
That cross above me riseth still,
My daily monitor to be,
And whispers mid each passing i'll,
"Take up thy cross and follow Me-"
Eve cometh-and again tits night,
And stars are out like sparks Of fire,
Yet lifted high, or dark or bright
/ know the cross o'ertops the spire;
Then lay me down when duties close,
Repairing wearied natures loss,
And think how sweet to seek repose
Beneath " the shadow of the cross"
Thus hour by hour, and day by day,
That patient finger points in love,
And to my spirit seems to say,
1.-THE cross below, the crown above; =
And though my faith be often weak,
And fears may press my spirit down,
Be this the language 1 would speak,
"Give me the cross, to win the crown"
