DclusiOns OF the Insane.

Let is now look Mt another and very
numerous class Of patients-namelv those
laboring under fixed or transi,ory delu.
sions. Some patients, although quito
able to do easy house workable, in fact,
to perform tho duties Of everyday life,
and to occupy themselves or engage in
games with apparent sanity and prcpriety
are, when questioned. fonnd to labor
under the most extraordinary fancies and
ideas, which in any one not accustomed
10 tue insane appear prep0sterous and
incredible. There il no end to the ab-
surdily and variety, of these perfected
imaglnations. A man will converse with
you quite intelligently on the leading or.
!icle 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 hns no inside-that
1t has been all burnt out; and no amount
of reasoning will convince this man to
The contrary. Indeed, there is no more
hopeless task than to attempt to convince
an insane person Of the falsty of bis
delusions He believes as firmly in the
truth OF them as we do that VIC live; his
ideas arc concomitantB of strange and
altered feelings, which hsve 6 real exist
ence; and Until thcGs fancies pass away,
they are not to be removed by demonstra-
tion or argument. Some patients, though
in good circumstances, will imagine that
they are financially ruined others of
the most blamcless lives, that they have
committed sins for which there is no par
don, 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 in.
sanity, exalted delusions are the leading
feature. There are patient, exhibiting
IN countenance and manner and feeling
OF well-being, q conviction that they
were never better in health and never
stronger, although hardly able to place
food in their mouths on account of in
creasing paralysis. Their extrayagant
notions know no bounds. One will tell
US that he is king, marquis, or n duke,
nay even at times the Almighty. At one
time he is possessed of millions of money
and property at another, he is going to
pull down all London to-day, and re.
build it to morrow. He inyents wonder
full machines, which will make his for
tune; he discovers perpetual motion, or
how to square the circle; and imagines
that he has been Senior Wrangler at
Cambridge half q. dozen times running.
The asylum in which he lives, he imag-
ines to be q regal abode; and the Other
patients, courtiers and mobiles; and, "last
scene of ALL" when strength is failing,
and he can scarcely stand raise his hand
to his head, he tells us that he can write
his name on the ceiling with a five.hun.
dred pound weight hanging to his little
finger Chamber Journal

a SHORT WINDED CoLoRED Man
Col. Percy Perger, although kind hus-
band, leading member Of the church,
r patriotic citizen, and otherwise high
toned Austin gentleman Of culture and
refinement, is, nevertheless, not in the
habit of meeting promptly his pecuniary
obligations. He owes verybody, includ
ing Sam Johnsing, his colored carriage
driver, to which trusty Jehu he owes q
years back wages. OF late, Col. Perger
has been exhibiting no uneasiness, what.
ever, about the matter, much to the men,
tai disquietude of the faithful African.
"Boss, tenders vacancy in my de.
partment," exclaimed Sam, yesterday,
having screwed his courage up to the
sticking point.
"Why, Sam. what is it that perturbs

"W!,at occasion have you to indulge
in such violent pedestrian exercises? p
asked Col. Perger, with his usual suuvily.
Boss, does yer disremember me ask

my wages, an yer tole me my wages was
runnin' on ell right?"
"Yes, Sam, your pay is running ON

customary for every church to have q
