SECRETS OF THE LUNATIC AsYLUMs.-The
attention of the public has been recently anc
very painfully called to the subject of our Lu
matte Asylums by the disclosures made during
the investigation of the Acomb.ho case. Ir
the course of the trial it appeared that lad,
who, in the opinion of jnry, was held to b,
of sane n ind-at least when she was brough
under their notice-had been confined in
private luna,ic asylum that abe had been Their,
treated with great and unnecessary violence
that she had been subjected to frightful indig
mites; that when, upon two occasions, she hac
succeeded in making her escape, she vas forci
bly, brought back, with but little regard to the
decencies due to her sex and to her unfortunate
position, if she had been really deprived of hel
reason. As formal investigation into all the
circumstances of this sad story is now in pro
gress, We will say no more about it just now
Another case of the hind has, however, recent
" been brought to light. 1t amounts, in brief
to this A clergyman named Leech was en-
titled under the will of his father to an absolute
reversion in the sum of 100000. He wa,
living in a retired manner at Bayswater, and i,
is admitted that he entertained strong views
upon religious subjects, and that he wore 9
beard. His relatives we're tolerant of these
enormities but when he announced that il
was his intention to marry his servant, one re
suit of which step might we'll have been tha
they would have been cut off from the inherit
ance, they suddenly jumped to the conclusion
that he was int ne. His brother in. law and hi,
assistant signed the necessary certificate, and
upon the strength of this very loose proceeding
keepers we're directed to seize the patient In
his house at Bayswater, and convey him to 9
lunatic asylum. They did 90. His furnitur,
and other property we're disposed of and there
the matter might have rested, and the unfortu
nate gentleman might have remained for thu
remainder of his life, but for the interference
of certain tradesmen at Bayswater with whom
he had been in the habit of dealing for wears
They could not understand that their old Gus
toner, who had lived among them 90 long. anc
IN all respects comported himself a. o rationa
and respectable man, could DO q lunatic. They
succeeded in discovering the place of his con
hnement, and such steps were taken that Mr.
Leech's sanity was conclusively established &c
the satisfaction Of q jury, and he regained bi,
liberty. Here are two cases; We have before
as the particulars of a third, but We are not
unfortunately, in q condition to publish the
names. Suffice it to say that an unfortunate
gentleman who had been suffering from bodi
ly disorder which finally Affected his brain, bu
who was not mad, was incsrcerated In one o
those horrid dens which are called Priva,,
Lunatic Asylums, and there confined for months
By his own account, he was treated with IN,

BY GAIL HAMILTON.

In truth, ] am not over wise
In mystic baby lore;
] do but stop moment,
As pass the open door,
To catch a glimpse Of ruddy light,
A glance Of rosy feet
And then go quietly adown
The somewhat darkish street.
And thus perhaps the mystery
Which troubles me so much,
Win vanish into thinnest air
At any mothers touch.
The problem therefore present
Pray solve 1t if you can,
And dissipate the doubts that cloud
A sadlyspuzzled man.
Some 6ve-and-thirty years have len

And generally | have been
As wide awake as now
Moreover, have paid my bills
AS soon as they were due,
And therefore number many friesds-
Some brave, some fair-au true.
Now, bearing both these things In mind,

I've seen a baby here and there,
Within these thirty years
Have gazed on several hairless heads,
And, being rather meek,
When asked" horyesoo referens!"-
Have kissed The puffy cheek.
Here lies the mystery, my friends:
These babies, one and all
The babies led, the babies white,
The babies great and small;
The babies heavy, round, and fat,
And Growing in a frolic
The babies purple, pinched, and lean,
And screaming melan- cholie-
From him who thrice ten years ago
First saw the blessed light,
To him whose feeble, wailing cry
Clefl the still air last night
