There as Turkey Shoot. they say,
In West Bridgewater t'other day,
And from the Corners went two men,
To shoot turkey, duck, or hen.
Thanksgiving day was drawing nigh,
And they must have chicken pie,
And when the day was past and gone,
And darkness soon was coming on.
Three chickens was the spoil they gained,
AS homeward bound they drew the rain !;
Saws one, 1--WE have not been in luck
wish we could have got duck:
But as it is we'll not complain,
And on the morrow try again,
For surely not man | see,
Goes home tonight as dry as We"
But ah how vain is human plan !!
While passing by the Riddle dam,
The carriage on the ice did slide,
And all were plunged beneath the tide.
To save his masters, twas in vain,
And so the horse, with might and main,
Swan out upon the other side,
And waited not for them to ride.
When from the water they arose,
With limbs benumed and nearly froze
Says one, who was man of pluck
"Well, surely, we have got the duck

JAPANESE DAYLIGHT FIREwoRKs. -
The Yokohama H.rdld, describing re.
cent Japanese festival, says; "The
second day was occupied with exhibitions
OF the ingenious daylight fireworks, OF
the manufacture OF which the Japanese
appear to be the sole masters. As usual
these consisted mostly OF bombs, which,
exploding nigh in tho air, discharged
sometimes variously colorcd jets OF
smoke, md sometimes costly folded
packages of wire and paper, which un-
folded themselves into parachutes OF
great bulk md symmetrical design.
They were sometimes fish, which swarm.
ed leisurely through the atmosphere to
tho grouud; or snakes, which writhed
themselves away over the tree-tops or
great birds, that lowered kite.like and
mOtionless for M incredibly long time.
Occasionally they took the shape Of cot.
tages, temples, human beings, magni.
6ed crests OF daimioS, trees aud flowers
almost anything that lively imagina-
ton could suggest. The smoke figures,
however, were the most amusing One
Of the most frequently attempted was q
cuttlefsh, with a body OF thick, fuligin
ous black, and arms Of lighter hucs. or
course the illusion was very brief, tile
wind not allowing the smoke to remain
undsturbed for more than few seconds;
but while II lasted 1t was perfect"

LUSGrIc AsYLuMs PERSONAL LID
ERTY.-The New York Ledger says con-
siderable public discussion Inns recently
been INDUCED in concerning the faculty
with which persons OF sound mind, but
alleged to be insane, can be shut up in
lunatic asylums and kept there despite
MI their efforts to get free. As proof
that these charges are groundlesS, the
manager Of q lunatic asylum in this city
states "Beforo n patient eau enter the
asylum, It is necessary to obtain n lunacy
warrant from Justice of the Peace or n
Police Magistrate Of New York City,
which can only be issued upon the evi.
dence Of two physicians" This, then,
is the only barrier between a man in
New York City and lunatic asylum |
Let any two physicians certify to a
man insanity, and magistrate will
issue q "lunacy warrant, and the victim
will be locked up with madmen and
kept from oil communication with any
body except these who procured his in.
generation. When one remembers that
there arc physicians in New York who
arc among the basest villains Of tho age,
and that the warrants issued by mngis.
trates arc usually filed up by underlings
and signed by the Justice as q matter Of
course, it is frightful to think what
abuses may be perpetrated in this matter
under the solemn forms Of law. A rGdi-
cal change is needed in this whole bust.
ness. No man should be sent 10 luna.
tic asylum on any private process what.
ever. Theapplication for commitment
should he made in open court, after
reasonable notice to all the relatives on
both sides, aud also to the counsel Of the
alleged luIatic. And il he has no coun-
sci, then the court should assign him
one. as in the case Of criminals. The
personal liberty Of the citizen, especially
Of ono who is not even accused Of crime,
cannot betoo carefully guarded.
