It Is by no means matter of merely
modern observation that very extraor-
der passions in the body and the mind.
Horace speaks of the disordered liver,
''jecur uloerosum," brought about by it /;
Plautus also refers to this same morbus
hepotarius, and feven Solomon, the
wise, describes the youth whose liver
was struck through by this dart of the
passions. A few months ago we quoted in
this journal the remarkable case of q
young lady who, in consequence of dis
appointed affection, had blue perspira-
on-cyanodrosis a. for six or eight
months. The records Of our insane
hospitals show not few examples
where permanent mania has followed
violent affection.

THE FIRST FAIR or BREECHEs.
IGtIatnua Drnz [


The greatest desire Of child is to be-
come man. Now, the first symptom
OF virility, the first important step in
life Is marked by the use of breeches.
This first pair Of breeches is an event
that the father longs for and the mother
breads. To her it seems the beginning
of abandonment. She looks with
moistened eye at the little frock cast
aside forever, and thinks: Is his early
infancy at an end? Already! my role
will soon cease. He will have new
tastes, new desires-he is no longer my
self-his individuality asserts itself-he
is somebody-he Is q boy.
On the contrary, the father is delight
ed. He laughs in his sleeve, as he looks
at the little arched calf projecting from
the pantaloons-he taps the little boy
whose contour is clearly defined under
the new garments, and thinks, How
we'll the little rascal is built. Like me,
he will have broad shoulders, solid
loins. How firmly his little feet rest
on the ground" He wants to see him
wear boots-he is always willing to buy
him pair Of spurs. He begins to see
himself in the little being VINO sprung
from him. He looks at him with new
eyes. and for the first time, he discovers
an exceeding pleasure in .calling him
my boy.
AS to baby, he is drunk, he is glo-
rious, he is triumphant, though some
what embarrassed with his arms and
legs, and we may say, without Wishing
to offend him. he Is not unlike those
poodle dogs which have been clipped at
the approach OF summer. What trou-
bles the little man most is his past.
How many grave men, [ ask, expe-
rience the same inconvience! He feels
that breaches obHge. that now be nc
quires new at!ractlonsJnew movements,
q new tone OF voice-he begins to OBJ
serve movements Of his papa, who is
not displeased with it. He attempts,
awkwardly, some masculine action,
and this contest between his past and
present gives him the most comical gait
In the world. His little frock haunts
him, and he becomes greatly enraged.

TREATING.
IN, Y. MALL

Come up and take a drink" This
absurd custom of treating anybody and
everybody is Of Irish origin. The effer
vescent son Of Erin is guilty Of intro
ducing it to America, and the initiative
American is responsible for nursing it.
There may be something attractive
about Irish hospitality, but no level
headed man can praise their insane
custom Of calling all the world up to
take drink. Only in Erin and the
United States is such foolish custom
