Insanity and Suicide.

Insanity is literally the looking at a
thing in uphealtLfl! proportions. Ten
years, five years, one year month, a
day, or even few hours later than an
event, we often wonder t. ourselves that
we regard it in so strong light. How
often do persons get to thinking about
things at night, and become so indignant
or outraged that they can scarcely remain
in bed; or get tc thinking about a debt
they owe tomorrow and are so fearful
| that the money may not come in from
creditors, and protest, with all its horrors
stare them in the face, and they toss and
| turn in an agony of sweat, and, contain
ing themselves no longer, they get up and
franticalIy paSe the floor by the hour,
then falling asleep from sheer exhaustion,
they wake up to see the cheerful sun
shining in the windows, and the postman
brings more remittances than were needed?
Many who have treated consumtion large
ly have died of the disease. Hydrophobia
has been brought Gu II the mere force of
imagination. The celebrated Hr. Green,
so famous at one time for treating
diseases of the windpipe and its con
nections, after swabbing the throat of
gan at last to swab his own. An eminent
and able physician, who attended luna
tic asylum tor twenty years at Lexington,
Kentucky, killed himself, himself luna
tic. Several great scholars, who have made
the prophecies their study, have died in
sane, and 50 with ny nbers who have
studied perpetual motion. All men should
be careful of getting into the rut Of one
subject, of one idea. There is at least one
advantage of having a great many irons
in the fire; the man who gives them
equal attention never goes crazy. 1t is
brooding oyer qisagreeable things which
fills our madhouses; it is really the want
Of force of character, of moral courage,
which leads to such fate. The moment
your sleep is disturbed about one thing
for two nights in succession tear yourself
away from it or you may be lost.

INHE design of this work, which has been
Il very carefully prepared by Judge L. O.
Brldewell, of Copiah county, and which will
supersede the FoRM Book heretofore issued
by the undersigned, Is to impart to novices,
gentlemen not learned in the law above their
fellows, the routine of business required OF
WON when they assume the responsible and
then important office of Justice of the Peace.
nder the present Constitution OF Mississip-
pr the jurisdictio of Justices of the Peace in
Civil Suits IS raised to one hundred and fifty
dollars, and in all criminal matters their )u-
risdiction is concurrent with that of the Cir
cult Courts in all cases where the punishment
prescribed by the laws does not extent beyond
a hne and Imprisonment in the county Jail
The ONCE is certain " one of great dignity and
the main design of this work is to be of some
assistance to the unlearned Justice of the
Peace by placing the law relating to his iuris-
qIch9n Hefore hum in compact form, with forms
and pree edepts, covering almost. if not every
case, which can come before him Notes are
and information of the Justice, endeavoring
thereby toexplain the law and use of the form,
SO that none, however ignorant of the law
generally, can go far wrong.

what Makes the sea-shem sing:
From the Boston watchman.I

From the Boston Watchman.l
When the sea she'll is held up to the
ear there is peculiar vibratory noise,
which the children assure each other is
the roar of the sea, however distant they
may be from it. Philosophicaliy inves-
Ggated, the peculiar sound thus recog-
nized is q phenomenon that has puzzled
scholars for long time The expert
ment Is easily made by simply pressing a
spiral shell over the cerebra of either ear
the sound is very mach like that of
far off cataract Now, what causes it
Every muscle in the body is always in a
state of tension. Some are more on the
stretch than others. and particularly
those Of the 4hgsr. 1t is conceded that
the vibrations e the Abres = those fin
gers being communicated to the shell il
propagates and intensi6es them as the
hollow body OF violin does the vibra-
ton of its strings, aud thus the acoustic
nerve receives the soRorops expressions.
Muscles of the leg below the knee are
said to vibrate In the same way, and il
conducted to the ear produces the same
results.

GRAPEs.-Hen:-v S. Rupp, reliable
nurseryman of this county. says; 1T Is
not great number of variarIcs OF grapes
we should seek after if we wish ~ make
grape growing profitable, but rather P4as,.
such as proves of fine quality, and suite1
to our climate and soils. In the list OF
grapes cultivated in this country few va
rieties have proved in all respects suita-
BILE for cultivation; this being the main
obstacle in grape culture. A variety
may succeed well in one place. and be
very uncertain in another. No one can
give correct estimate of variety from
the appearance of single vine, or in one
locality. Nearly all varieties do best on
young vines.

H. R. STEVENS, Esq:
Dear Sir-T have had considerable experience
with the VEGETISE. For dyspepsia, general

perior to anything which 1 have ever used. l

of last winter, and, after using few bottles 1t
entirely cured me of dyspepsia. and my blood
never was in good condition as at the present
time. 1t will afford pleasure to give any
further particulars relative to what 1 know
about this good medicine to any one who will
call or address me at my residence, $50 Athens
