THROUGH INSANITY
WONDERFUL TRANSITION FROM 1GNo.
RANCE TO WISDOM.

The following particulars We get
from Mr.. George c. Watson, living
near the subject of the sketch. A
lady Of the Seventh District Of Worth
county has become insane on the
subject Of religion. Her dementa-
ton was first noticed about month
ago, soon after the close ola protrac-
ted meeting at Union Baptist church
near her home. She attended the
different services very regularly, and
seemed deeply impressed and troub-
led from their Arst commencement.
A short time before the meeting
closed she joined the church. Going
back home her incoherent, maddened
and rambling conduct was noticed
by her husband and children, and
they became terribly excited and
wrought up about it. She went raw.
ing about the house and yard with =
bucket of water, baptizing everything
in her pathway. She baptized her
husband and each of her children,
while doing this sang the most beau
tiful songs-songs that she had
heard but once or twice. Although
an unlettered woman Cher husband
will swear to this she reads every
chapter in the Bible readily, pro-
nounces correctly and distinctly, pay
ing attention to punctuation points,
etc. She breaches nearly all the
while, aud our informant says uses
the choicest words, and displays
great wisdom and knowledge in the
handling Of different subjects. Al
though not q Mason, she knows all
the mysteries of that mysterious
craft by heart. Dozens Of Masons
have gone to see her, and they all
come away dumbfounded. Her hus-
band has come to the conclusion that
she is witch. She has attempted
acts Of violence, but rs yet done no
harm. He, without assistance, at
one time tried to incarcerate her in
one of the rooms of the house, but
the doors became manageable and
wouldn't stay locked. She hasn't
slept in eighteen days and nights,
add during that time has taken but
a few morsels of food.
This is one of the strangest cases
we have heard of. Hundreds are now
flocking to see the frenzied woman.

The WIRES SEcREr.-''I will tell
you the secret of our happy married
life," said gentleman of three score
and ten. ave have been married for
forty years; my bride was the belle
of New York when I married her,
and though l loved her for herself,
still lovely flower is all the lovelier
poised in an exquisite vase. My
wife knew this, and, true TO her gen
uine refinement, has never, in all
these forty years, appeared at the ta-
bic or allowed me to see her less
carefully dressed than during the
days Of our honeymoon. Some may
call this foolish vanity; 1 call it real
womanltness. I presume I should
not have ceased to love her had she
followed the example of many 9th
ers, and, considering the every day
life Of home necessarily devoid of
beauty, allowed herselfto be careless
of such small measures as dressing
for her husbands eye; but love is In.
creased when we are proud Of the OBJ
|ject loved, and to-day / am more
proud Of my beautiful wife with her
silvery hair and gentle face, than OF
the bride whose loneliness was the
theme ofevery tongue. Any young
lady can win lover; how few can
keep them such after years Of mar
ried life"
In all the little courtesies Of life,
In all that makes one attractive and
charming, Ia thoughtfulness OF 9th
ers and forgetfulnesss Of self, every
house should be begun aud contin-
ued. Men should be more careful to
sympathize with and protect the wife
than the bride-more willing to pick
up her scissors, hand her the paper
or carry her packages than if she
were a young lady; and as no young
woman would for a moment think Of
controlling the engagements and
movements of a young gentleman,
neither should she do so when he is
her husband. II by making herself
bright and attractive she fails to
hold him, compulsion will only drive
him farther from her. l do not be.
lieve it possible to retain the friend
ship Of any one by demanding it. I
do not believe it possible to lose it
by being lovable.
