FOURTH-UM-DY.

BY ROSA GRAHAM.
THE cannon doomed
The great guns screeched, and everywhere
Bright banners foated on the air;
Yet, spite the din,
A merry voice came ripping in,
heard a cry:
"Ise habin' Fourth-um-Jym
turned to see
A tiny maiden blithe and fair,
With starry streamers in her hair;
Her fingers oeft
Torpedoes swapping right and left
Her constant cry:
Else habin' Fourth-um-J'y!"
l could but smile ts-7 .--sfgzg
To see this tiny patriot stand =.
So proudly for her native land.
"An hail." said;
" My pretty little cracker-maid,
Pray tell me why
YOU'RE habin' Fourth -um-JyI"
"Oh! yes" she cried;-
:. Bad peoples way across the sea,
They tried to make us mind. Not wet!
Another day
We tipped 'em, and they ruined away;
And this is why
Use habin' Fourth um-J'yi"
The loyal maid
Here snapped torpedoes in such glee
That I was fain to turn and flee,
Yet heard her say:
{ Use glad they's tipped and run away;
Cause this is why

wrong with him. Two or three days after
he reached home from New York / heard
him talking to himself. Either l am
wrong he said, or those about me are
wrong. Now, who is it that is wrong?
If this is wrong mentioning something
we had forbidden him to do), then 1 am
wrong; but if it is right, | am right, and
the boys are wrong He then cited nu-
merous other illustrations about which he
reasoned in the same manner, and sum-
ming these all up came to the conclusion
that the preponderance of wrong was on
his side and that the boys were right"
"Does his insanity reveal itself in his
conduct as well as in his conversation ?" 1
asked again.
Every rarely. Although his general
health is much improved, he is thin and
looks worn out, SO that close observer
might detect his disease in the wild, weird
expression of his face and eye, but in no
other way, for he acts nationally. But
anyone would soon detect it by his con-
versation. He is continually talking, and
sometimes in the widest manner. This
morning, for instance, he harangued "a
waiter at the breakfast table on the slight
difference which the color of the skin
should make in our estimation of men.
He laid it down from a Republican stand
point, to the great merriment of all pres
ent. He is never violent or boisterous at
such times, but his queer way of reason
ing, and the Iaughable conclusions often
arrived at, very quickly reveal the fact
that he is not in his right mind"
Does he ever talk about Spiritualism?
"He has mentioned the subject but once,
/ believe, since his return from Dansville,'
replied Owen, and then only casually.
We do not talk with him on that subject"
How about the Katie King matter?
Did not this contribute to his insanity 2"
l asked
81 have had this question asked me sew
eral times" answered Owen, "but l do
not think it had the least to do with his
trouble. At the time he was very much
chagrined and thoroughly indignant at
the deception practiced upon him; but
long before his sickness he had forgotten
all about it; at least he hadn't mentioned
the matter for several weeks. For some
time before his sickness he was wholly &C.
cupied with his new work on theology,
entitled, The Unity of God,' I believe,
which he wished to finish before his death,
for he has an impression that he shall not
live great while longer"
In reply to an inquiry as to whether a
physician had been consulted in regard
to his condition, Mr.. Owen stated that the |
best medical advice had been sought, and |
that while the physician at the asylum re-
CARDS his case as difficult one, he thinks |
it is by no means hopeless, unless there is |
incipient paralysis. He has not been able |
to determine this yet.-IDdianapOtts Cor.
