DIsPoMANIA OR THIRST MADNEss.-Ih pc
riodcol desire for strong drink which some
times beSets individuals, otherwise moral and
exemplary, is a species of paroxysmal mania
beyond the control Of the patient. 1t is quite
certain that there are thousands of cases OF re-
mitent drunkenness, which present the.specifc
symptoms of disease. The periodical drunkard
is not an habitua dram-drinker; but at parlic-
ular times he appears to be attacked with a
thirst madness which depives him of The power
of volition, and hurries him into the most ter
rble excesses. During the intervals between
the peroxysms, he may be perfectly sober
man.
For many weeks, or even MONTHS he may
have steadily refused TO taste drop of liquor ;
may, indeeW, have felt no inclination for il, but
on the contrary, regarded il with disgust; and
yet when the fit comes on, the raging thirst for
alcohol utterly paralyzes his conscience and his
will A man in this condition is monomaniac,
ard should be treated as one. If put under
proper restraint at the commencement of this
fur0r, the dispomaniac, in nine cases out of ten,
might be tided over his difficulty in the course
of week or ten days, and perseverance in
this course at each recurrence of the hallucina-
ton would probably evenluate in a complete
cure. Ii is not easy to persuade the world that
all drunkenness-is not voluraaty<The law does
not recognise dspomania. II srests all inebri-
ates alike. This seems to be unjust though
it is hard to say where the line should he drawn
between free-will excess and that which pro-
Seds from an uncomfortable mania.

1852.
And now came on the battle of Kansas and
Nebraska. Chase was one Of the first to awak-
ell the people to this new danger. He, in con-
ference with the anti-slavery men of Congress,
drafted an address to the people, to arouse
them as to this sudden and appalling conspira-
cy, which was intended to seize for slavery all
the unoccupied land of the United States, and
turn the balance Of power and numbers forever
into the shareholders hands. II was critical
moments there was but little time TO spare
but the whole united clergy of New England,
of all denominations, Catholic and Protestant,
found leisure to send in their solemn protest.
When that nefarious bill passed, Chase protest.
ed against it on the night of its passage, as,
with threats, ard oaths, and curses, it was driv-
en- through. II seems in the retrospect, but
brief passage from that hour of apparent de-
feat TO the hour which beheld Lincoln in the
Presidential chair, and Chase Secretary Of the
Treasury. His history in that position has ver-
flied the sagacity that placed him there. II has
been the success of large sound, organizing
brain, apt and skillul in any direction in which
it should turn its powers. 1t was the we'll
known thrift and shrew1ness of the Yankee
farmer, coming out at the head of the United
States Treasury in most critical hour. No
men are better to steer through exigencies than
these same Yankee farmers, and it seems the
SAVIOR Of this faculty goes 10 The second and
third generations.
Thus, like Charles Sumner, has Chase lived
to see a cause, espoused in the darkest hour,
righted, yindicstet, triumphant. Thank God,
the days Of fugitive slave laws of fines and i'm
prisonmens lor simple Offices of humanity, are
over, Chase pleads no more before Judges
with closed ears. The principles which he
sowed in dishonor in the courts of Cincinnati,

Kisses, pressed on beaming eye,
Say, in murmurs low and shy,

Dearest, that love in you"

And down win come cradle, baby and ALL"
One of our exchanges thus gives the origin.
Shortly after our forefalhers landed at Ply
mouth, Massachusetts, party were out in the
field where the Indian women were picking
strawberries. Several of these women, or
squaws, as they are called, had papooses, that
is, babies, and having no cradles, they had them
tied up in Indian fashion, and hung from the
limbs of surrounding trees. "When the wind
blew the cradle would rock" A young man of
the party, observing this, peeled off piece OF
bark and wrote the above lines, which it is be-

A NOBLE WoMAN.--The Albany Statesman
says :-Nathaniel Smith, charged with being a
deserter from the 18th regiment was arrested
in Castleton. VT, and brought to this city he
was placed in the hands of the Veteran Guards
until hearing could be had. His mother, on
hearing that he had deserted from the flag.
burst into tears and said IL have sacrificed
four sons to my country; have buried my
husband and children but never knew what
trouble and grief were before. TO have one
brought back deserter is more than l can
stand. do not blame the officers for doing
their duty, hut do blame YOU for deserving.
Go, my son you are bone of my bone and flesh
of my flesh; / would rather have seen you
brought home a corpse than 70 find you alive
branded as deserter. But go, my son do
your duty as a man and soldier, remember
ing that your mothers prayers are with you.
and do not come home again until you come
as a man who has nothing to iear.s
When this mother dies, the above should be
engraved upon her tombstone. 1t would be
the most touching epitaph in the world We
know of no speech in Roman history more
worthy OF preservation.

Eace,s OF Lixh, ON the Human system.

Those who recently listened to DR.. Lewis
in our City Hall, will remember the impor-
lance he attached to the sunlight In physical
development. A child raised in the shade
can no more be healthy than plant grown
in the cellar. Dark or even shady bedrooms
are to be ignored Blinds should not be kept
closed too steadily. Better tan OF even freck-
10 child's face than dwarf its physical and
mental power by depriving it Of one of ma
lures most important sanitary agents and
stimulauts. Better spots on the skin-honest
sun stains-than tubercles in the lungs, or
soft places in the brain. For this reason we
admire to see the little folks--too young to
walk-trundled along the sidewalk in their
little open carriages, their chubby faces all
aglow with sunlight and smiles. They drink
in healthand the most efiectual element for de-
veloping the body aud strengthening and
sweetening the mind. Keep the little car
riages often on duty, only don't be so barbar-
Gus as to make the innocent occupant ride
Backwards test OF the stomach's strength
to which many parent is unable to submit
DIR. Moore, the metaphysician, thus speaks
Oh the eject Oh light on the body and mind:
"A tadpoe confined in darkness would new
er become a frog; and an infant being deprived
of heavens free light will only grow into a
shapeless idiot, instead of beautiful and re-
sponsible being. Hence, in the deep, dark
gorges and ravines of the Swiss Valais, where
the direct sunshine never reaches, the hideous
prevalence OF idiocy startles the traveller. Ii
Is a strange, melancholy idiocy. Many citi-
zens are incapable OF any articulate speech -
some are deaf, soIne blind. some labor under
all these privations aud all are mfs-shapen in
every part of the body. believe there is in
all places marked difference in the healthi-
ness OF houses according TO their aspect with
regard to the sun, and those are decidedly the
healthiest, other things being equal, in which
all the rooms are, during some part Of the day,
fully exposed to the light. Epidemics attack
inhabitants on the shady side of the street,
and totally exempt those on the other side
and even Ia epidemics such as ague, the NOR
bid influence is often thus partial in its la
bors ~
