4 Laughing Family.

There is family of farmers occu.
plying n farm near Doylestown, Pa,
the members of which are afflicted
with laughing mania. The father
was the first one attacked, at least
ten years ago. He was seated at
table, eating supper, and all at once
was seized with a fit OF laughing,
which he found himself unable to
check. 4 physician was called in,
but could prescribe no remedy. He
continued laughing until shutdown,
when he sank down exhausted and
his laughter ended. The fit came
on again when he WAS in bed, and
lasted till day light. Ever since
he has been affected twice each day
and night, during time he is unable
10 speak, and has to write his direc.
lions. For more than a year the
father WAS the only sufferer, until
the youngest girl was seized, and
she now daily accompanies the
laughing of her father. The disease
gradually spreads to the other mem.
bers of the family. The eldest son
was the last to contract tho mania,
and 1t is said that he had the first
attack when in the act Of popping
the question to Harrisburg dam.

ell TO see her woOer again. She is
now one of the family, and, escap
ing the malady, pays no attention
to the hideous chorus OF laughter
that twice every day resounds
through the house and grounds.
Several grandchildren have been
born, and in all but one instance
they were taken soon after birth
with stated attacks AT the same
hour as their parents. Of course,
they do not laugh like their parents,
but they crow and express all the
signs of baby glee twice day, and
never cry while they are laughing.
Very little physical annoyance is
caused the laughers; they write,
read and sleep without any trouble,
but can not speak or eat while the
tit is upon them. The physicians
have been unable to effect a cure,
though paying particular attention
to the cases of the afflicted.

ROWING AGAINST the TIDE.

1t is easy to glide with the ripples
Adown the stream of time,
| 10 flow with the course Of the river.
Like music to some old rhyme;
But sh it takes courage aud patience
Against its current to ride;
And we must have strength from heaven
When rowing against the tide.
We may float on the rivers surface
While our oars scarce touch the stream,
And visions of early glory
On our dazzling sight may CLEAN;
We forget that on before us
The dashing torrents roar,
And, while We are idly dreaming,
Its waters will carry us DER.
But few-ah, would there We're many
Row up the stream of life"
They struggle against its surges.
And mind neither toll nor strife,
Though weary and faint with labor,
Singing, triumphant, they ride:
For Christ is the hrro's Captain
When rowing against the tide.
Far on through the hazy distance,
Like mist on distant shore,
They see the walls Of city,
With its banner floating Ger,
Seen througa glass az darkly
They almost mistake their way;
But faith throws light on their labor,
When darkness shuts out their day.
And shall We be one of that number
Who mind no toll nor paint
Shall We mourn the loss Of earthly joys
When-we have a crown to gaini
Or shall we glide on with the river
With death at the end of our ride,
While our brother, with heaven before him.
Is rowing against the tide
