BedIan.

The term Bedlam, so often applied
to luna'ic asylums, is merely corrup-
tion OF Bethlehem, hospital of that
name having been set apart in London
three centuries ago for the treatment Of
such patients. 1t need hardly be men
toned that insanity is disease due TO
high mental cultivation. In Scotland
the proportion Is one TO 563, while in
England, where there Is less culture, II
Is one To 753. In our own country it is
one TO 100. II is never found, however,
among the barbarians. There are but
few lunatics in India, and liz countries
deprived Of political liberty such as Italy
and Austria. the proportion is very
small. Among the more noted in
stances may be mentioned George Ill, ,
whose mind was disordered during the
last thirty years of his life. DIR. Brown,
former superintendent OF the Blooming
dale asylum, became victim OF the
disease which he was treating. and the
constant study OF insanity led TO his
own mental wreck. Horace Greeley's
case is too well known TO require detail.
II is evident that his mind was crush ed
by the distress occasioned by the politi-
cal error into which he fell. Gerritt
Smith, the famous philanthropist, was
AT one time deranged, and wa' during
this attack an inmate OF the Utica
asylum. James Otis, the revolution
AIRY patriot, became deranged in bis
latter days. and while in this condition
was killed by stroke of lightning

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
Finger Rings.

The practice Of wearing rings has been
very prevalent in different countries and
at different periods. Rings have been
used TO decorate the legs, fingers, toes
and nose, which last fashion was very
prevalent among Israelitish women.
The form of the ring symbo'izes eternity
and constancy. In the Saxon period.
and even after the Norman conquest,
500 years ago, a ring around the neck
was the recognized badge Of personal
serfdom. The Egyptians wore finger
rings, the signet being an em blem of
authority. The dark-eyed Jewess, in
the days of the prophets, delighted To
adorn her slender fingers with glitter
ing rings setwith rubies, emerAlds and
chrysolites. The Greeks used hnRer rings
in connection with marriage rites.
There are some specimens on which are
brief inscriptions. A Greek ring has
engraved on it Faith immortal
There are Roman nuptial rings in the
cabinets Of the curious. on which are
engraved, in rude Latin letters, Love
me, ""I love you" Happy life" etc.
Among the ruins Of Pompeii WAS found
a gold ring, picked up in Diomed's
house, on which was cut the device Of
man and woman joining hands. This
is supposed TO have been wedding

sentences, called "Posies," on wedding

ring as a marriage ring was at one time
in great favor. 1t was "A double or triple

Iehnny's Joke.

Mr.. Wagon was the victim. His son
Johnny Is q inischievous lad, and the
other day resolved to play n trick on his
brother. He arranged certain attach
Dents to that brothers bed. worked by
~brds running to his own room. and
then went of fishing. While he was
gone, his brother was sent away to be
absent over night, and lot of company
arrived Mt the house. MIR. Wagon gave
up his own room to them and occupied
the absent sons bed. johnny got home
late at night, and wholly ignorant OF
this change of arrangements, went To his
room. which was next to his mothers
and prepared TO perpetIate his designs
upon his brother.
The first proceeding was to haul on a
cord which ran between the blankets
and spr' ad on his brothers bed. and.
being fastened at the top. would pull
the clothes off the bed. MFR. Wagon
was comfortably tucked in, when sud-
denly the clothes began to slip. and he
found himself uncovered. He thought
he might have kicked them of, and sat
mp and took hold of the clothes to pull
them back. Meanwhile. Johnny had
aynked another cord, which pulled the
pillow of the bed. Mr.. Wagon dis
covered his loss and reached for the
pillow, and when he got It the clothes
went of again. He wss much excited
Mt that, and again went after the clothes
and again lost his pillow.
That time the . low went under the
bed and Mr.. Wagon went under after
1t, and Immediately came out again and
swore prodigiously, for the A Ior was
strewn with chestnut burrs. and he had
gotten into them. He resolved to scold
tie chambermaid for leaving so many
pins on the floor. Once more he made
an attempt TO get the pillow. and. as Il
was way under. he made frantic dive
for It, and Just then Johnny. who was
shaking with laughter, pulled the last
cord and the whole bed came down
upon Mr.. Wagon and jammed him upon
the burrs.
His frantic howls brought his wife
and friends to the rescue, and he was
ished out. And then the gas was
lighted and somebody discovered the
cords running to Johnny's room. Mr.
Wason at once hastensd there. The lad
explained that he thought his brother
was In the bed. but II didn't make any
difference. His yel.s were mistaken by

The morning OF December 25 dawned

Ihe morning OF Decem Der 20 dawned
crisp and cold. The fresh. biting air
of the mountains raced among the trees
right merrily, whisking the snow into
little wreaths, and frolicking among the
branches with real holiday gayety. II
was nearly noon when the stranger rode
into camp loaded with bundles. At
the Magnolia he met nm eager crowd of
miners, who, headed by Judge Cash
wilder, were soon on the road TO the
strange lady's cabin. Arrived there,
they felt sudden hesitation about en-
tering. 1t was like intruding upon some
sacred ground, and they were almost
tempted TO deposit their bundles upon
the threshold and fly.
You take the stuff" said the Judge
to the stranger. land 20 in rust.
You've been familiar with wimmen, and
know hoW 10 hendie 'cm. Well wait
outside"
But the stranger felt the same hesita-
tion. Perhaps his long absence from
feminine society made him bashful
Perhaps a thought of the memory he
revered caused him to hold back.
Finally the Judge consented TO take
the lead. and dofiing his hat, knocked
softly. The door was opened by the
child, who bade him enter. Beside the
CRATE sat the mother, who rose TO meet
them. All passed in but the stranger,
who stood outside.
"Marm," said the judge, who some
how had lost his usual ease of speech
and gesture. we-that is. the citizens
of Mud Flat-has come TO wish you a
merry Christmas. and TO offer you these
few tokings OF our respeck an est teem.
Having thus delivered himself, the
old gentleman deposited the bundles on
the table. and stood beaming serenely
on all his companions. The strange
ady, completely overcome by this un'
expected kindness, could not hnd words
TO reply fr a moment. Then, in q
broken voice, she said:
This is n glad moment OF my sor.
rowiul life. You are good, kind mer
and I know God will repay your gen
erosity 10 the widow and iatherless
/"
She stopped suddenly. and stood with
blAnched cheeks and distended eyes
staring toward the door. The miners
turned and beheld the stranger, who
with n great stride forward. and a CITY
expressing the widest joy. caught the
woman in his arms.
They stood thus, heart pressed 10
heart, and lips to lips, for an instant.
Then .the stranger turned his eyes de-
voutly toward the ceiling.
Thank God" he murmured, gently,
1.-The wife | had supposed dead Is re-
stored to me-"
The miners stole softly away, and left
the stranger standing thus. with bis
arms tenderly twined about the woman
of his love. and the little child cling
ing fondly TO his knees.
The air was balmy outside; the sun
shone with ineffable sweetness upon the
scene; n bluejay screamed his delight
from neighboring tree. and the wind
played a JOY tuneful among the rocks.

A. Christmas.Tide.

At Christmas-,ide the fields are hare,
shiver OF frost is in the air;
The wind blows keen across the void.
Gone Is the autumns glimmer Of gold.
But, lol a red rose opens wide
In the glowing light OF the ingle-side--
A rose whose fragrance, sweet and lar,
Is shed ai the beaming OF Bethlehem's star;
And once again the angels sing
That love IL heaven, and Christ is king.
At Christmas-tide the children 20
With dancing footsteps over the snow;
At Christmas tide tho world is bright
With tho sudden splendor that thrilled the
nigat,
And made the dawn a shining way,
When first earth wakened to Christmas-day
All! hide your iaoes, churls and rude,
For none have heart to share your mood.
At Christmas tide tho open hand
Scatters its bounty DER sea and land,
And none are lett to grievo alone,
For love Is heaven, and claims its own.
At Christmas-tide are Ginning bells;
Oh, silvery clear their cadence swells
They smite the cold OF arctic plains;
They ripple through falling OF tropie rains;
In palaces men pause to hear
The wonderful message OF peace and cheer
In lowly huts the peasants pray
With blessing to God icr the happy day;
On every breeze the joy is borne
Around the globe on the Christmas morn;
And loud once more the angels sing
That love is heaven, and Christ is king.
At Christmas-tide. in alb and cope,
The priest upliits the anthem oil hope;
But each true heart that casts its care
On the sweet Christ-child hath unaware
A more than priestly chrism poured
Upon it, down from the mighty Lord
And grateful spirits haste to lay
GIFTS at His ieet on the Christmas day;
While high above the seraphs sing
That love is heaven, and Christ is king.
