Insanity and ReyivaIs.

"A recent number of the Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal con-
ta'ns an interesting article upon Sin.
sanity and the Revival" by Theodore
w. Fisher, NJ. d., in which reports
are given OF eight cases Of insanity
that have come under his observation
during the last two months, which
were caused by undue religious excite.
ment growing out Of the Moody and
Sankey revival. The writer says it
would not be fair to attribute all these
and similar cases to the effects of re.
vival preaching, but the presumption
in that direction Is. very strong. An
examination of 60 reports Of asylums
in the United States in 1876 shows
that out of 36, 9S3 cases 2144 wele
produced by religious excitement. In
closing his article the writer remarks
sit is needless to add that true relig-
icn does not in itself tend to produce
insanity. but is the best moral preven-
tati1e and antidote but it is the false
theology and superstition too often
mingled in the religious instruction,
and urged upon ignorant aud suscep,
tible minds, with vehemence and i'm
piled threats OF Divine anger, that are
liable to disturb an already too unsta-
bic mental equilibrium.

Low VOICE IN WoMAN.-The fol-
lowing paragraph which has beer going
the rounds of the press, will commend
itself to many whose sensibility has been
often exasperated at the theatre, on the
cars, in the streets, in short in every pub
lie place by the loud, aggressive voice of
the young woman Of the day.:
eyes, we agree with that old poet who
said that low, soft voice was an excel.
lent thing in woman Indeed, we feel
inclined to 60 much further than he has
on the subject and call it one of her
crowning charms. No matter what other
attractions she may have; she may be as
fair as the Trojan Helen and as learned
as the famous Hypatia of olden times;
she may have all accomplishments con.
sidered requisite at the present day, and
every advantage that wealth can pro-
duce, and yet if she lacks low, sweet
voice, she can never be really fascinating.
How often the spell of beauty is rudely
broken by course loud talking. How
often you are drawn to plain unassum-
ing woman, whose soft silvery tones rem
der her positively attractive. Besides we
fancy we can Judge of the character by
the voice; the blank, smooth, iawning
tones seem to betoken deceit and hypoc-
risy as.invariably as the musical sabdued
voice tells Of genuine refinement. In
the social circle, how pleasant it is to
hear a woman talk in that low key which
always characterizes the true lady. In
the sanctuary of home how such voice
soothes the fretful children and cheers
the weary husband. How sweet its
cadence floats through the sick chamber
and around the dying bed; with that
solemn melody does it breathe s. prayer
for the departing soul. All, yes, low,
soft voice, is certainly IAN excellent thing
in woman ~

- An Irish lady called on a photo
grapher to have cabinet portrait taken.
When the artist removed the plate he
told her she need not sit any longer. On
coming out from the dark room he found
her still bolt-upright in the chair, with
that look of petriied despair on her face
peculiar to the photographicpose. "You
needn't sit there any longer" said the
frightened artist. whats that? ?" she
hoarsely whispered, without changing a
muscle. II say you needn't sit there now
Il have finished" he explained. "Ain't
l to pay you dollar?" she Intercepted,
in the same gurgling tone, with her eyes
strained on the mark. eyes" "Well,

= Claiborne F. Jackson, a native of

- Claiborne F. Jackson, native of
Kentucky, was once Governor Of the
State of Missouri. He Joined the South
ern Confederacy, and died during his
term at farm house opposite the city of
Little Rock, among strangers, with no
kind hand of affection near to sootbe his
pain and rob his death bed of its anguish.
The most remarkable fact connected with
the history of his life is perhaps the state
ment that he married five sisters in one
of the most respectable, wealthy and dis
tinguished families in the State; that as
soon as one wife would die he would 90
and marry her sister, in seasonable time,
of course. Some of them were widows
when he married them. In connection
with the marriages there was a standing
Joke told at the expense of the Governor,
which was that when he went TO ask the
old gentleman's consent to marry the last
one the venerable father is reported to
have said: eyes, Claib, you can have
her. You have got them all. For
goodness sake don't ask me for the old
woman"

Judgment Of the Public!

During the past five years the public have
.orefullT observed the wonderful cures accom-
nlished from the use of VEGETlNE. From Its
use many an afflicted sufferer has been restored
to perfect health after having expended small
fortune in procuring medical advice anu oD'
It's medical properties are Alternative, Tonic,
Solvent and Diurctic. There Is no disease Of
the human system for which the TEGETlNE
cannot be used with perfect safety, as it does
not contain any metallic or poisonous COM
roots and herbs; it is very pleasant TO take;
every child likes it. II is safe and reliable, as
the following evidence will show:

A FEARFUL RISK FOR GIRLs.-The
pastor of church in one of our large
cities said to me, not long ago: ~ have
oficiated at forty weddings since cane
here, and in every case, save one, l felt
that the bride was running an awful risk.
Young lnen of bad habits and fast ten
denc;es never marry girls of their own
sort, but demand wife above suspicion.
So, pure, sweet women, kept from the
touch of evil through the years of their
girlhood, give themselves, with all their
costly dover of womanhood, into the
keeping of men who, in base associations,
have learned to undervalue all that be-
longs to them, and then find no repent
ance in the sad after years. There is but
one way out of this that 1 can see, and
that is for you-the young women of the
country-to require in associations and
marriage, purity for purity, sobriety for
sobriety, and honor for honor.
"There is no reason why the young men
of this Christian land should not be just
as virtuous as its women, and if the loss
of society and love be the price they are
forced to pay for vice, they will not pay
it. admit with sadness that not all our
young women are capable of this high
standard for themselves or others, but l
believe there are enough earnest,
thoughtful girls in the society of our
country to work wonders if faithfully
aroused. Dear girls, will you help us, in
the name of Christ? Will you, first of
all, be true to yourselves and God; so
pure in your inner and outer life that
you shall have right to ask that the
young man with whom you marry shall
be the same? The awful gulf of dis
honor is close beside your feet, and in it,
fathers, brothers, lovers, and sons are 60
ing down. Will you help us in our great
work? ~

: The late Mrs. Jane W.

= The late Mrs. Jane W was
equally remarkable for kindness of heart
and absence of mind. One day she was
accosted by beggar, whose stout and
healthy appearance startled her into a
momentary doubt of the needfulness of
charity in this instance. "Why," cx-
claimed the good old lady, you look
we'll able to work" "Yes," replied the
supplicant, "but | have been deaf and
dumb these seven years" "Poor man,
what heavy atliiction !" exclaimed Mrs.
W, at the same time giving him re-
lief with liberal hand. On returning
home, she mentioned the fact, remark
ing, "What dreadful thing it is to be
deprived of such precious faculties !"
"But how" asked her sister, did you
know that the poor man had been deaf
and dumb for seven years" "Why,"
was the quiet and unconscious answer,
"he told me So"

some, which is going the rounds Of the
press, is not correctly told. He sent the
donkey up to Windsor to be used in car
rying things between his country seat at
Runnymeade and the town, and his
daughter Minnie, then six, was particu-
larly impressed with the animals voice,
and remarked to her governess that when
she heard the donkey bray it made her
think the animal was very sad, and she
thought it must be home sick. After
some moments reflection, evidently SYM
pathizing with the unhappiness of the
animal, the child continued: "Well,
perhaps when papa comes up the donkey,
won't be so lonesome"
