An HysiericaI Young Woman.

|
Zelda X, an hysterical youngwoman
living in the south of France, became
subject, in 1866, to accesses of what
was at first considered as somnam-
bulism-states lasting few minutes or
hours, of which she retained no con-
seriousness on regaining her normal con-
dition. Gradually the duration of these
accesses increased, they became con-
siderable enough to rank as second
state" as it was observed that in this
second state Zelda perfectly remem-
bered the first state-in the first or
normal state she forgot the second
The second state gradually grew upon
her until it has become almost contin-
lous, her relapses into the first state oc-
cupying perhaps not more than one day
per month. And it is remarkable that
her second state is in all respects supe-
rior to her first Her health is better;
her character is more cheerful and
even; her memory perfect for both
states. She is aware of her occasional
entry into her first state, but she con-
siders that as abnormal, and though not
unduly distressed by it she would fain
avoid its occurrence. When in the first
state, on the other hand, her aches and
pains return, and her memory for the
second state disappears. She is then
truly miserable, even to the verge Of
suicide, and helplessly bewildered by the
vast gaps in her memory, which are 80
profound and extensive that If her hus-
band or children happen to be out of the
room at the moment when she enters
.he first state she does not know wheth-
er they are alive or dead, and waits
anxiously to see whether they come in
again. She is ashamed of this loss Of
memory, and uses all her art to conceal
it. OF late she has hit on a plan which
somewhat lessons this inconvenience.
When she feels that an access Of the
first state is coming on, she writes
letter to her other self, giving precis
of the facts which she considers it de-
sirable that that self should know.
Thus, for instance, she details the
orders which have to be executed, the
measurements of chintz, etc. But
there are cases where the poor creature
is glad to forget. For example, in the
second state she learned facts giving her
, grave cause for jealousy as to her hus-
bands conduct with female friend Of
her own. So much did this distress her
that she attempted suicide. She was
rescued before life was extinct; and
then in her new misery she ardently de-
sired the return Of the first state, with
all its suicidal gloom, preferring, as
one may say, to hang herself in forget
fulness Of the truth, rather than be-
cause she remembered it. She has,
since then, In fact returned repeatedly
to the first state, and knows nothing
therein Of the trouble which has come
on her second self. Yet this immunity
is not without its Inconvenience for
while, in the second state, she rejects
Indignantly all acquaintance with the
treacherous friend, she knows that
there will be, as it were, intercalary
days of amnesty when she viii greet
her again with cordiality and ease

The humor Of some stories needs some
little knowledge to apprehend the alto
gether unconscious humor which comes
out from the narrator. 1t has been said
that, of all the sciences, it is a difficult
task to make Highlander comprehend
the value Of mineralogy; there is some
sense in astronomy, it means the guild
ance Of the stars in aid of navigation;
there Is sense in chemistry, it is con-
nected with dyeing and other arts; but
'chopping of bits of the rocks" that is
a mystery.
A shepherd was sitting in Highland
inn, and he communicated to another
his experiences with zone of they mad
Englishmen."
There was one," said he, "who gave
me his bag to carry, by a short cut
across the hills to his inn, while he took
the other road. Ehl it was dreadfully
heavy, and when / got out Of his sight I
determined to see what was in 1t, for /
wondered at the unco' weight of the
thing; and man! it's no use for you to
guess what was in that bag, for ye'd
ne'er find out. II was stanes.".
"Stanes!" said his companion, open
ing his eyes, "stanesI'
"Ay, Just stanes."
"Well, that beats all / ever knew or
heard Of them. And did you carry ftp"
Garry i'll Man, do We think was as
mad as himselfP Nael nael / emptied
them all out, but / filed the bag again
from the cairn near the house and
gave him good measure for his money"
And yet Hugh Miller was a Scotch
man.
Agood deal of the humor is Just In
he 81 implicitly Of reply. A London
tourist met young woman going to the
kirk, and, as was not unusual, she was
carrying her boots in her hand and
trudging along barefoot.
'My girl, said he, sis it customary
for all the people in these parts to 60
barefoot"
"Pairtly they do" said the girl, "and
partly they mind their own business" !"
In the town of Falkirk there lived a
very notorious infdel, who gloried In
his profanity. On one occasion he was
denouncing the absurdity Of the doctrine
Of original sin; and the beadle Of the
parish, perhaps, thought himself bound
officially to put in his word, although
the other was socially his superior.
"Mr. H." said he, lit seems to me
that ye medina fash (trouble) yourself
about original sin, for to my certain
knowledge you have as much akwal
(actuaD sin as will do your business.
The humor Of the Scotchman does not
always seem to wear the most amiable
complexion. Some one remarked TO an
Aberdonian, '1t's fine day."
"Na's (who's) finding faut wi the

Mark Lemon and the Sabbath.

The late Mr.. T. B. Smithies, of the
British Workman, was once travelling
alone in q railway carriage with Mr..
Mark Lemon, the editor Of Punch. He
expostulated with that gentleman on
the course he pursued in always scoffing
in his paper at the people who were la
boring to preserve the Sabbath. "0n
this question:" said Mr.. Smithies, al
believe the working men Of this country
are sounder than many protesting
Christians, and that they are wide
awake to the fact that II the barriers
which surround the Lords day in this
country W ere broken down, ultimately
they would have to do seven days work
for six days pay" With smiling
face, Mr.. Lemon replied: "Now will
make confession to you which have
not made to others. Some time ago /
got up petition in favor Of the open
ing OF the British Museum on Sundays,
and sent IL into our printing Office for
the men to sign, when, Judge Of my as
tonishment, the foreman came TO my
room and said: If you please, sir, do
you press for the signing Of this petit
tionp for, unless you do, the men had
rather not sign it, What in the world
do they mean by thatP Why, it's for
their benefit that We want museums
opened on Sundaysr We'll, SIR re-
piled the foreman, the men think that
would not be the end Of tit would
only be the thin end of the wedge, and
that, before long, workshops, offices,
and all kinds Of places as well as
museums would be open on Sunday,
too Now" added Mr.. Lemon, that
petition was never signed. The conduct
of the men made strange impression
on my mind, and l honestly acknowl-
edge that It furnishes a strong fact for
your side Of the question" From the
day Of our interview until his death,
adds Mr.. Smithies, / never heard Of Mr..
Lemon having penned an unkind line
against the better observance of the
Lords day.

BLESSED WORDS.


o sweetest words that ever fell
BY mount or wave in shrine or cell,
Or, altarchantcd, stole through aisle
The tortured heart from pain 90 vie,
are these the Master spoke when free
He walked thy shores, fair Galileel
Andgave HIS burdened followers there
This boon of loYe, this plying prayer;
Whoeer We be-allen or neil hbor-father,
mother, madden
With grief and care opprest-
Come unto Me- all ye that labor and are heavy
laden,
And win glveyo restl
What glorious hope upi the throng
AS float these blessed words nlOngl
Prophet nor priest nor anges seven
Had opened thus the gaze of Heaven,
And He who treads like them the sod
Must be Messiah, ,-Son of God!
Oh, HE had been a weary quest,
But now they shall find rest-find restl
Transporting gracel that thus dlstills
The dew OF peace upon their hills
And far from court or temples shrine,
Takes, for the lowest, thought Dlvinel--
Whoe'er ye be-alien or INSTRUMENTATION
mother. maiden
With grief and care opprest-
Come unto Me, all ye that labor aud are heavy
laden,
And will give you restl
More dazzling Hermon lifts his snow;
His streams through Huleh clearer tlow;
The wind sings DER Esdraelon:
Glad are the oaks In Tabor's glade;
And, hoar with thousand years of shade,
The oedars thrill on Lebanon;
While Jordans oleander bowers
In roster bloom unfold their flowers,
And nightingales make low replies
As breathes this strain of Paradise:
Whoee .ye be-alien or neghbor-father
mother. maiden
With Friefand care opprest-
Come unto Me, all ye that labor and arc heavy
laden,
And Will give you restl
And still that sweet, Celestial call
Watts down from sea and mountain wall
To YOU and me, and all who sorrow
For Joys or time or death has won,
And dread TO meet the drear tomorrow,
And almost wish that life were donel-
All, woes like summer clouds depart
And widest tumult sinks TO cain,
II deep we hear within the heart
The Masters words that drop as balm;
Whoe'er ye be-alIen or nelghbor-father,

With grief and care opprest-
Come unto Me, all ye that laborand are heavy
