The climate of Texas is variable this
winter, being more disagreable than

heavy rain here this winter, and that

The End.

Life consists of beginnings and ends.
There is an end, last hour to every.
thing. We always put it so far in the
future that we forget it, and when it
comes, it comes so unexpectedly that
it finds us unprepared. The last hour
is always terrible when those which
preceded it were so full of present
pleasures that nothing was arranged
foI the coming gloom. The end is al
ways sad; the end of summer, the end
of joy, the end of life. The end of
summer, when the winds wall and all
nature dies temporary death; the
end of JOY, when the chill of sorrow
comes creeping over us, and, sadder
than all, the end of life, the last dark
hour before eternity's dawn. When
we see the life we love ebbing away,
and we are powerless to stop it, then
we must take warning to ourselves,
The end is not only for one, but for
all. When the thread of time shall be
snapped in its circuit, we shall all en-.

Lunacy Reform.

An experiment is about to be tried in In
diana that will be watched with great inter-
est in Maine. Three asylums for the insane
will be speedily built, new methods are to
be tried and there is good reason to believe
that plans will be adopted which will put
Indiana in the van of lunacy reform in this
country. No State will ever have a better
opportunity to introduce the English, Scotch
and Belgian hospital system-a system un-
der which muffs, strait-jackets and cribs are
unknown, correspondence is entirely free,
windows are unbarred, doors ale thrown
open, and the insane are treated as unfortu-
nate, diseased human beings, rather than as
below the brutes in the scale of existence.
Physical restraint is seldom employed
abroad, even in cases of acute mania. Cures
of insanity at best are relatively few. The
disease requires skillful, patient treatment
under the most favorable conditions. That
the conditions are not favorable for recovery
In many of our lunatie prisons, falsely called
hospitals, is notorious. Strong pressu re has
been brought to bear for the adoption of the
rational, humane method of treatment in
Indiana. There is certainly opportunity for
improvement in our Maine hospital. and we
may learn lessons of wisdom from the
Hoosier State.
