the spurs are as big as silver dollar, but the
points are very dull. The spur seems intend
ed more to frighten the horse than to hurt
him. The Mexicans are expert riders, being
so much in the saddle. In travelling quite
retinue of attendants is necessary. You
have taken along your bedding on a pack
mule, with servants to attend to the mules
and the luggage, and a cook to prepare your
meals. In many parts Of the country it IS
necessary to take your provisions with you,
and all the convenences for camping out. In
some cases it is difficult to get drinking water
for yourself and your animals unless you buy
it. If you cannot reach a settlement at night,
you camp out in town, you can usually rent
a room, entirely unfurnshed, for the night.
Tie servants spread the bedding on the floor,
purchase yictuals in the market, and prepare
the meal in Mexican style. Bedsteads, tables
and chairs are luxuries known only to the veal
thy among the native inhabitants
Butter the Mexicans do not know how to
make. The sugar is very crude article, In
ferior to our darkest brown sugar, and is sold
in little cones, weighing about pound.
Cheese is made in cones Of similar size, from
goats milk. Cows milk Is used only fresh,
and is never made into cheese or butter.
Horses In Mexico are never used for draught
purposes, but are employed only for riding.
Mules and oxen do all the work of transporta-
tion. The fine wines made at ElPaso on the
Rio Grande are transported in skins, as in
Bible times Bottles, kegs and barrels are
almost unknown. In many portions Of the
country timber is too scarce to be used for
casks and frame house would be very
expensive affair. American influence will
soon instil new life into primitive people.
The railroads now building will be the means
of civilizing the country, developing its i'm.
mense natural resources. It has beautiful
climate and vast mineral treasures, which
only await this foreign stimulus to be made
a source of national wealth and prosperity.

ENERGY.-Energy of mind is necessary In
order to do good in the world, because it is to
be expected that wise and benevolent designs
will ,be opposed with energy. The greatest
and best purposes. have been the most vigor-
ously opposed. The want Of energy disquali-
fes men for every duty of life All duties are
connected with difficulties from within and
from without. Without energy, no man, in
any profession or business of life, can do his
duty.
Men may acquire energy of mind by placing
themselves under necessity of acting. So
long as they feel themselves under no necessi-
ty of forming and executing any noble and
important designs, they feel no occasion for
acquiring energy of mind. But those who
desire to serve God and to do all the good they
can in the world, are willing to devise and
promote great and noble designs, which will
lay them under necessity of exerting all their
mental powers and capacities.
Another way to acquire Strength and energy
Of mind is to keep noble and worthy objects
in view and pursuit. If men would only pro-
pose and pursue great and good designs, they
would soon find resolution and energy to eX-
ecute. No man knows how much good he
can do in the world until he makes attempts,
for he cannot know the power and faculties
he possesses till he tries them by repeated
mental exertions. How many men have lived
years in obscurity without knowing their
own circumstances or some important event
constrained them to exert their talents and
abilities in doing great and noble deeds.-Dr.

KISSES.

A father talking to his careless daughter
said: II want to speak to you Of your mother.
1t may be that you have noticed careworn
look upon her face lately. OF course it has
not been brought there by any act of yours,
still it is your duty to chase it away. want
you to get up tomorrow and get breakfast,
and when your mother comes and begins to
express her surprise, go right up to her and
kiss her on her mouth. You can't imagine
how it will brighten her dear face. Besides
you owe her a kiss or two. Away back when
you were little girl she kissed you when no
one else was tempted by your fever-tainted
breath and swollen face. You were not as at.
tractive then as you are now. And through
the years of childishness and sunshine and
shadows she was always ready tO cure by the
magic Of mothers kiss the little, dirty,
chubby hands when ever they were injured in
those first skirmishes with this rough world.
And then the midnight kiss with which she
routed so many bad dreams as she leaned
above your restless pillow have all been on
interest these long years. OF course she is
not pretty and kissable as you are, but If you
had done your share Of the work for the past
ten years the contrast would not be so mark.
ed. Her face has more wrinkles than yours,
far more, and yet if you were sick that face
would appear more beautiful than an angel, as
it hovered over you, watching every opportu-
nifty to minister to your comfort, and every
one of those wrinkles would seem to be bright
wavelets of sunshine chasing each other over
the dear face. She will leave you one of these
days. These burdens if not lifted from her
will break her down. Those rough,
hard hands that have done so many unnesces-
sary things for you will be crossed upon her
lifeless breast. Those neglected lips that gave
you first baby kisses will be closed, and those
sad. tired eyes will have opened in eternity,
and then you will appreciate your mother, but
1t will be too late"

DELUSI0NS OF THE INSANE.

Let is now look at another and very nu-
merous class of patients-namely those labor
ing under fixed or transtory delusons. Some
patients, although quite able to do easy house
workable, in fact, to perform the duties of
everyday life, and to occupy themselves or en-
gage in games with apparent sanity and pro-
priety-are, when questioned, found to labor
under the most extraordinary fancies and
ideas, which in any one not accustomed to the
insane appear preposterons and incredible.
There is no end to the absurdity and variety
of these perverted imaginations. A man will
converse with you quite intelligently on the
leading article Of to-day's newspaper, on the
last budget or railway stock, and then sud-
denly inform you that his head is made of
brass, and that he has no inside-that it has
been all burnt out and 10 amount of reason
ing will convince this man to the contrary.
Indeed, there is no more hopeless task than to
attempt to convince all insane person OF the
falSty of his delusions. lie believes as firmly
in the truth of them rs we do that we live ;
his ideas are cOncomitants of strange and
altered feelings, which have a real existence
and until these fancies pass away, they are
not to be removed by demonstration or argu-
ment. Some patients, though in good cir
cumstances, will imagine that they are fnan-
cially ruined; others of the most blameless
llFeS, tflat tneE nave committed SlnS LOT WHICH
there is no pardon, and that they are eternally
doomed.
Delusions are not always of gloomy nature
on the contrary, in one of the commonest and
most fatal forms of insanity, exalted deu-
sions are the leading feature. There are pa
tientS exhibiting in cOuuntenance and manner
and feeling of well-being, a conviction that
they were never better in health, and never
stronger, although hardly able to place food
in their mouths on account of increasing
paralysis. Their extravagant notions know
no bounds. One will tell US that he is king,
a marquis, or a duke, nay even at times the
Almighty. At one time he eispossessed of mil
lions of money and property; at another, he
is going to pull down all London to-day, and
rebuild it tomorrow. He invents wonderful
machines, which will make his fortune: he
discovers perpetual motion, or how to square
the circle and imagines that he has been
Senior Wrangler at Cambridge half a-dozen
times running. The asylum in which he lives,
he imagines to be Il regal abode and the

Pom my word, he's making rapid headway,

Regardless of it's rights, if he but gain.

But wild and reckless he plunged on his way,
With speed down to fire and unending pain.
Puff!
This was but poor, unreasoning insect;
Time and all else will soon be DER with him.
Behold that's his last struggles his life is spent,
And there he roasts-a spirit black and grim.
Puff!
Yea, even now to cinder he's burned.
Poor thing! he went as all the reckless go
Most rapidly, and even unconcerned,
The shortest way to death and endless wo!
Puff!
But, my soul, why should any mortals,
Like spiders, run the brittle thread OF life,
Till at last it snaps at deaths dark portals,
There eyermore to sink in endless grief?
Puff!
But men, like the spider, oft refuse to turn,
When lured by false lights down some risky
track,
Till Death has laid them in his silent urn,
And God, for Judgment, calls their spirits back!
Puff!

Our BODIES AFTER DEATH.-Within a
very near approach to truth, the human fam
lily inhabiting the earth has been estimated at
1000, 900; the annual loss by death is
100000. Now, the weight of the animal
matter of this immense body cast into the
grave is no less than 634, 600 tons, and it's de-
composition produces $4,000, 600 cubic feet Of
matter. The vegetable productions of the
earth clear away from the earth the gases
thus generated, and decomposing and assimi-
lating them for their own increase. This cir
Gle of changes has been going on ever since
man became an occupier of the earth. He
feeds or the lower animals and on the seeds
of plants, which in due time become part Of
himself The lower animals feed upon the
herbs and grasses which in their turn become
the animal :; then, by its death again pass into
the atmosphere, and are ready once more to be
assimlated by plants, the earth or bone sub
stance alone remaining where it is deposited.

THE Uses OF ADvERsITY.- -'There is moth
ing in life," says Il writer, $50 fatal as to be
fortunate.'' Good fortune has little to rouse,
draw out the faculties or elevate the soul. On
most natures it acts as sedative. The nobler
parts of the man sink into inactivity and de-
cay. Adversely is benefactor in disguise.
Advancing with stern aspect and relentless
demandshe necessitates self-reliance and rouses
the soul to high endeavor and noble deeds.
No one knows his own capabilities until he
has struggled. The uncounted wealth of the
mine is unknown till the rock is drilled and
blasted. The true wealth of many people is
never developed; their good fortune keeps
them perpetually on the surface. Many man
will have occasion forever to bless the day OF
trial. 1t introduced him to himself.

I opened the case for the defense in as few
words as possible, and then called up my wit
ness--Winifred Darcy. She gave her evidence
very well, in grave, concise language, without
irreevance or circumlocution. She stated
that she lived at Redcourt with her sister,
Mrs. French and that on the 10th of May she
and her cousin had spent the greater part OF
the day sketching by the riverside at kilcar-
ran. At about 2 O'Clock gust of wind had
carried her hat into the stream, whence it
was recovered by the prisoner, who happened
to pass by the moment. Interested by some
thing in his appearance, they tried to enter
into conversation with him, but without
much success, his English being very imper-
feet. They, however, managed to make him
understand that they wished to employ him as
a model, and he sat to them patiently for
more than an hour, at the end Of which time
he went away with many expressions OF graft
tude for the money they gave him. Miss
Darcy would have been certain as to the date,
even if it had not been affixed to the drawing
(which was produced in COURT, as her consn
had arrived at Kilcarran on the 9tfaof May,
and left on the 11th.
Cross-exarnination failed to cast any doubt
on the accuracy of Miss Darcy's evidence,
while her veracity was of course above suS-
picion.
The jury professed themselves satisfied with
the evidence, and declining to hear counsel
for the defense, returned a verdict of mot
Guilty" The prisoner was seized upon by some
of his compatriots, who were serving on the
mixed jury, and carried off in triumph, some

Some months afterward, man, dying from
the effect of hurt received in a drunken
brawl, acknowledged himself guilty of the
crime of which Bernini had been accused. He
also was an Italian, and bore sufficient resem-
blance to his countryman in height and COM
plexion to account in some degree for the mis-
take of the witness.

professional success and of my life's happiness
