J. w.srxrxyusos. AIRY for Plaintiff.
St. Landry democrat., 1885-01-10

I wonder how Miss Gray and her
mother are standing it. ! hope to
Heaven shall not see her again until
she RECEIVERS, or else I'm done with ro-
nance forever. The old lady would
insist on taking this steamer, and |
think it was dispensation of Provi-
dence to cure my malady. How can a
man worship when his divinity is white
around the lips and red around the
eyes, with drawn, pinched look, as if
anxiously expecting q catastrophe;
when she is sensitive as to sympathy
and querrulous as to assistance; when she
appears to regard her brother with un-
dying hatred, and her mother as bar
barian armed to the teeth with cam
phor and shawls for her special torture?
How, Isay, can man be sentimental
when all his faculties are concentrated
on finding some place where he can
hold himself still, when the only feeling
he can summon from the depths OF
his embittered nature is one of hatred
and contempt for the stewards?
How could have been such a simple
ton as to dawdle sentimentally through
whole summer, and start home dur
ing the equinoctial stormsP A proper
termination this for loves young dream
and all its attendant follies. Sweet re-
veries and murmured vows forsoothi
Moonshine all of it, and as for poetry
it is mockery, a grinning skeleton!
I'll never be such a fool again!

remembrance of all that midsummer
madness, and / recall it with the Same

Sense of Humor.
I venture (says correspondent to
send you pure specimen of crushing
contemptuous scorn.
In our luhatic asylum at S--We had
a few years ago as Medical Superintend-
ent and General Manager a pompous,
self-suff1cient old doctor with a very
gushing manner and great obsequious-
ness to any visitor whom he might deem
worth cultiyating. It was more than
suspected that this paternal and beney-
client manner did not always character
ize his intercourse with the patients,
but was donned only on State coca
sions.
He had several hobbies, and would
bore visitor dreadfully with his over
done politeness and unceasing stream OF
talk about the institution, and his Won
derful management thereof.
On one occasion, after having been
trotted all over the building by him to
my great disgust, as / had called on
business, and my time was precious, we
were approaching his own private
apartments, and on opening door dis
covered a young woman of quiet, lady
like appearance, seated in a small par
lor, and gazing through window, with
fixed expression of weary sadness, on
the beautiful view of woods and lawn
and river without.
l did not realize she was a patient
and there was no occasion whatever for
the doctor to disturb her. He spoke to
her, however, in his blandest way, no
doubt with a view of properly impress
ing me, and said: g Well, Jane, and
how are we this morning?''
She did not reply, but continued her
sad and touching gaze.
He repeated the question, and added:
g Come, Jane, surely you know who I
am?
She dropped the arm which had sup
ported her head, turned slowly to look
at him, and said, with a sigh of weary
scorn: "Oh, yes; you-you are the ur-
bane and gentlemany Superintendent. =
