u The st. Louis express on the New
u York CenEfal road, was. crowded one
evening recently, when at one OF the
wRv stations, an elderly gentleman, &C
cempanied by a young lady, entered the
cars and finally secured n seat. As the
conductor approached the palr,s the
young lady arose, and in q pleading
voice said: Nr H. 80 ~ 2
please, sir, don't let him carry me
to the asylum. / am not crazy am
little tired, but not mad. Obi no in
deed. Won't you please have papa take
me back homer"
The conductor, accustomed though
be was TO ell phasesiof humanity, look
ed with astonIshmeBt at the PAIR as did
the other passengers IN their Vicinity.
A few words frem the father, however,
sufficed, and the conductor passed on
while the young lady turned her race
TO the window. The writer CHANGED
to ths seat just behind the old gentle
man and could not forego the desire to
speak TO him. With sad face and a
trembling voice the father said:
'sMy daughter has been attending the.
seminary in a distant town and was
succeeding remarkably. Her natural
qualities, together with great ambl-
ton, placed her in the front ranks OF
the school, but she studied too closely,
was not careful of her health, and her
Door bIaine has been turned. / am
taking her to private asylum where
we hope she will soon be better"
At the next station the old man and
hls daughter left the cars, but the incl
dent, 50 suggestive OF Shakspeare's
Ophelia, awakened strange Thoughts in

The value OF moderation and the i'm

be watched as carefully as the first sp-
