KLEPToMANIA AND INSANITY As A
PLEA EoR CRIME.--We notice that
the lawyers are now bringing for
ward the plea of Heptomania in de-
Tending cases of theft. 1t was plead
ed in one or two cases few days
ago, and on Saturday last, when two
women were arraigned before Justice
Bowling, at the Court of Special SEES
sions, on three distinct charges of
shop-lifting, their counsel pleaded
guilty to all for them, but asked that
they be remanded, as he would
be able to prove that they were
victims of Meptomanid, and de,
serving of the ciemency of the
court The magistrate grant the re-
quest, being DESTROYS TO obtain all
possible information on a subject Of
such deep interest. The popular
plea of murder now days is insani-
ty, and, after the courts admit Hep
t0mania as plea tor stealing, we
shall doubtless have somnambulism
brought forward as a plea for rape.
But, in the meantime, what will be-
come of the Ten Commandments and
the criminal code ? rNe,0 York Times

How Pat Dug the Well.

Notsa great while ago an Irishm an
was employed in a village where he
was well known, to dig well pro
bono pablicO. The contract was made
that he was to be paid certain sum
foot, and warranted free supply of
water. At it he went with a goo1
willard his daily progress was watch.
Ell intently by interested parties
Early and late he delved away faith
fully, deep down in the earth, full of
confidence in the speedy completion
of his labors. He had reached the
depth of % feet, and soon expected
to strike water" Early in the morn
ing Pat returned TO The scene of his
labors, and horrible D tell, it had cav
ed in and was nearly tuii. He gazed
with rueful visage upon the wreck,
and thought Of the additional labor
the accident would cause him.
After moments reflection, he gaz.
cd earnestly Ground and saw no one
stirring; then quickly divesting him
self Of bis hat and coat, he carefully
hung them on the windIass and made
tracks for a neighboring eminence
that overlooked the village. Here hid
among the underground, he quietly
awaited the progress of events. As
the morning wore on the inhabitants
began to arouse and stir out. Sever
ii were attracted to the well, thinks
ing that as Pats h. and coat were
there, he was below, of course, at
work. Soon the alarm was raised
that the well bad cared in, and that
Pat was in it. A crowd soon collect.
Cd and stood Mortified at the fate of
poor Pat. \ brief consultation was
held, and soon spades and other i'm
plements were brought to dig out the
remains of the unfortunate man. To
work they went with will when

Pat quietly looked on from his res

watched with breathless suspense the
work. go bravely on. As the diggers
approached the bottom the excite
nent OF the bystanders grew intense,
nd they collected as near as safety
would admit, gazing fearfally into
he well. With great care and pre-
aution the dirt was dug away, and
when the bottom was at length reach.
d, no Pat was to be found. The
rowd, before so anxious, relaxed in,

Iproarioas merriment when the ven>

and addressed the orest~

Pat soon finished his well, and it re-

n BEAUTIFUL 0IblOM.-In Lut
mountains ofTyrol, it was the custom
Of the women and children to come
out, at bed time, and sing songs I'M
til they heard their husbands and
fathers answer them from the hills
on their return home. On the shores
of the Adriatic such a custom pre-
walls. There, wives OF the fishermen
set down at sunset and sing q melody.
After singing the first stanza, they
listen awhile for the answering strain
from off the water, and continue TO
listen till the we'll known voices are
borne on the tide, telling that the
loved ones are almost home. How
sweet to the weary fisherman, as the
shadows gather round him, must be
the song of the loved at home, who
sing to cheer him, and how they
strengthen and tighten and tighten
the bonds that bind together the
humble dwellers By the sea. Truly
it is among the lowly in the world
that we find some Of the most beau
tifui customs in practice.
