A STRANGE FREAK.-A very touching
case of mental alienation in a Charming
young lady is described by q careful OBJ.
server. Not long ago her mother found
her in her room energetically darning
stockings and soon she appeared in the
kitchen and assisted that wondering dame
in making and baking bread and pastry.
Alarmed by these fearful signs of intellec.
tual disorder, her fond parents ina mediate
~ sent for skiilful ply sician, who watched
her through the keyhole while she sewed
buttons on her fathers garments and mend
ed those of her little brother. Much Affect
ed, the venerable man remarked that never
during medical practice of twenty Ave
years had he known any young person to
manifest such symptoms as these. The
most heartrending phase of all, however,
was shown the other day, whom her kind
father, with faint hope of rousing her
from her sad state, gave her 5000 and told
her to buy new dress. Alas twas nae.
less: She instantly observed that she didn't
need new dress, and if he would let her
keep twenty five dollars to paw a moor
widows rent she'd much rather he would
take the rest of the money for himself.
For few moments that grief stricken old
gentleman gazed upon his hapless child.
then hiding his face muttered between his
sobs, " Her mind is gone! Her mind is
gone 7" 40

Good humor, which is good nature polished
and consolidated into habit, consists in the
amiable virtues of the heart, and in suavity
of manners: A person of good humor is pleased
with himself he is pleased with others; he
chershes humanity, benevolence, candor; and
these qualities, infused into his dispositions
gayety, and he feels complaoence in general
happiness. Mirth is the glaring solar beams
of summer; wit is the CLEAN between dispart-
ing clouds on the autamnal plain; good humor
is-the balmy and genial sunshine of spring,
under which We love to recline. Mild and gem
uine good humor has o peculiar simplicity,
frankness and Softness of expression fashion
able polteness puts on its semblance, butt as
is the case with every species of Hypocrisy, it
fails by its overacted efforts to please This
amiable quality is consistent; no latent frown
contradicts the language of the lips; its ex-
pressions ere faithful to its sentiments, and it
Is perennial as the source from whence it flows
Good hnmor is estimnble as n social virtue; it
10 equally estimable as . personal quality.
High reputation and superior attainmentS have
naturally dazzling splendor, which is only ap-
proachable with confidence, when nbdued by
the refreshing softness of good humor. Mod
crate abilities with assumed pretensions, pro-
woke censure or excite ridicuIe but adorned
with good humcr, they insinuate themselves
i to esteem, even more than eminent but aus
tere attachments. Tho show of distinguished
Qualities hnmbles mediocrity, and generates
the dissatisfaction of jealousy; tho display of
witty and confident assurance silepces mod
estyI and produces a feeling, which has per-
haps tinctnre of envy; n vein of satire,
" hich elicits occasional hilarity, arms all with
the procRution of fear. The temper which
recommend removes jealousy, envy, fear; it
gives pleasure TO everyone, places everyone at
,ase and whatever produces such results, we
ire disposed to esteem and love. Social hap |
'tness, in its aggregate sum, is chiefly made |
Up of kind attentions and minute favors an |
ttention or n favor derives much of it's vaue
rom the manner in which it is conferred, and |
God humor gives q charm to whatever. it be-
toEs.

How THE RHODE ISLAND MILL1oNA1REs
WERE NADIA correspondent of til q
Providence Press gives some interesting
Information about factory life in Rhode
Island forty years ago. During Summer
the operators were worked fourteen hours
day, beginning at 4:3O in the morning,
working until 7:35 or 7:45 in the eyenin o.
with half an hour for breakfast and three
quarters of an hour for dinner. In the
" winter nn the hour for closing at night was
E3O except on Saturdays, when they quit
work at dark. This was continued for
years until a young girl employed in one
OF OF tue factories died after a brief illness.
physicians decided that the cause of her
death was oyerwork. The mill owners
then held meeting and resolved to short
en- the time of labor to twelve and three
quarter hours in Summer. Overseers re-
celVed about eight dollars per week. They
were cruel task masters, and beat aud
abused the operatives most brutally, One
boy was lifted from the floor by the halr
OF his head by an Overseer, aud held until
the hair come out by the roots. In q

PLAIN TALK.-One OF the greatest,
smartest and richest of Wall street opera
tors-M Horace F. Clark-died in New
York last week by suicide. We do not
mean that he ended his career by rope, ra-
zor or pistol. or BY poison, or any thing of
that kind. He died at his own home, prop
ped up in his own easy chair, and after an
apparently Legitimate sickness of a few
days or week. But he committed suicide
nevertheless. He made God of gold, and
for this he worked day and night, Sundays
and week days, year in and year out. 1t
is said that his working hours were from
nine in the morning until two on the fol-
lowing morning. Figuring, planning and
schemiDg, and scheming, planning and
figuring, adding tens to hundreds, hun
dreds to thousands, thousands to millions
And SO, after the poor man had worked
like slave to become rich. and had gained
a property worth $4,000, 900, aud had
reached fifty years of age, his tired and
worn frame gives out, and he dies from his
sheer overwork, superinduced by avari-
cious greed for gold and green backs. If he
had been content with a competence, and
retired ten or fifteen years ago, he might
have been alive and hearty o-day, with a
fair chance of enjoying the blessings of
this life for score of years to coms.-Bos-
ton, NeUs.

HERoIsM BEGINS AT HoME.-We often
hear people speak of q heroic action with
a certain surprise at its performance not
altogether complimentary to the perform
er. HE forgot himself," they say che
surpassed himself )" he was carried away
by noble impulse" This is not true. A
man does not forget himself in emergency !;
he asserts himself rather that which is
deepest and strongest in him breaks sud
denly through the exterior of calm con-
ventionalities, and for a moment you
know his real value; you get a measure
OF his capacity. But this capacity. is not
| created, as some say, by the emergency.
mands of the moment than his com mon
aspirations and sober purpose have pre-
pared him to 60. A brave man does not
| rise to the occasion, the occasion rises to him.
His bravery was in him before-dormant,
but alive unknown, perhaps, to himself p;
for We are not apt to appreciate the slow,
sure gains of convictions of duty steadily
followed of patient CONTINGENCIES in we'll
doing, of daily victories over self, until a
sudden draft upon US shows what they
have amounted to. We are like water
springs whose pent up streams rise with
opportunity to the level of the fountain
head, and no higher. A man selfish at
heart and in ordianry behavior, cannot be
unselfsh when unselfshness would be re-
warded openly. Ii he will not be unsefish
when he ought, he cannot be SO when he
would. Is it not a question practical for
every home What sort of characters are
we, parents and children, forming by
daily habits of thought and action z Emer-
gencies are but experimental tests of our
strength or weakness and we shall bear
| them, not according to sudden resolve. but
according to the quality of our daily living.
The oak does not encounter more than
two or three whirlwinds during its long
| life; but it lays up solid strength through
years of peace and sunshine, and when It's
hour of trial comes it is ready. The chill
dren OF to-day, protected, cared for now,
must soon begin to fight their own battles
with the world nay, more-must make the
world in which We live. The future of
America lies in these little hands. They

HANDSOME CoNDUCr.-The men be-
hind the breastwork at Skookumville
deserve creoit for one thing we uninten-
tionally omitted yesterday giving them
credit for. They proposed to General
Sprague that, if thsir wages were paid
in full. they would not only give up
their opposition but would lay the track
for the company all tie way to Tacoma
depot without the cost of cent.
1t was certainly handsome PROPOSE
ton, and if the report is true, the rail-
road company have determined not to
be outdone by the men in liberality. It
was to-day stated, by gentleman in
this city who ought to know, that the
company would take the men to Port
land, pay them up and bring them back,
treat them well and charge them moth
ing for their ride.
Nothing could be fairer than both
these propositions, which indicate that
no bitter antipathy is felt toward each
other by either corporation or hard-fist-
ed laboring man.-Tribune.
What did tie Company propose to do
for the hard-fsted laboring men" be-
fore they compelled them to take the
law into their own hands in order to get
anything for their labor?
