SEVERE MENTAL SHOCK
Sometimes Causing Permanent Bad Heal

Sometimes Causing Permanent Bad Health
of Mind.
The effects of mental shock on the
mind in causing permanent bad health
of mind are easily inflicted in the pe-
Rod OF infancy, early life and school
life, OF which let one illustration SUI
flee. A gentleman who for many years
was under my observation as a con.
1irmed mental invalid, strong man in
many respects. but utterly irresolute,
and in the end of disordered mind Alto
gether. acquired his mental disease
from sudden distrust. He had in his
childhood an innate dread of deep
water, and he had at the same time
tutor for whom he held the
warmest affection, coupled with the
most absolute trust and conf
dence. In a thoughtless and
unhappy moment this tutor became
possessed with the idea that he would
break his pupils dread of deep water
by pitching him into a pool where
they were accustomed to battle to-
gether at the deepest part There
was no actual danger, for the depth
was really not great, the pool was calm,
the boy could swim a little, and in an
instant the tutor. a strong and skilful
swimmer, was in the water himself
rendering succor and support. The
lad was brought to shore safely
enough. but the mischief OF the mind
was inflicted beyond repair The sur
face OF trust was obliterated, and a
fixed distrust in the mind of the youth
was set up for ever. If a skiltul physi.
ologist could have discovered the seat
of truss in that youth, and could have
destroyed it mechanically. he could not
have inflicted a more severe injury
nor one more determinately lifelong in
its effects.-Longman's Magazine.

TOLERANCE AND COURTESY.
L hliosopher Emerson as an Exponent Of
the Two Great Vlrtues

Philosopher Emerson as an Exponent Of
tho Two Great Virtues.
Ralph Waldo Emerson was not only
a poet and a philosopher, but a gentle
man OF tho finest type; one whose
mind was so infused with the charity
OF loving kindness that the widest
fanatic found in him listener and
adviser. The number of souls, so adj
vanced in abstract speculation that
they were untitled for the ordinary
duties of life, who sought him for aid
and sympathy, was discouragingly
large, and yet not one of them was
turned away with a rebuff.
Edward Waldo Emerson, in his
'1ife" of his father, records several
amusing experiences with would-be
reformers, which prove that many
CLEAN of humor must have frightened
the Concord House. One apostle of an
unpopular faith came TO convince Mr..
Emerson that all use of money was
wicked, and few years later wrote
him q letter announcing his engage
ment to lady in kindred views, and,
as she was not strong, and he did not
wish her to work, he asked Mr.. Emer.
son to ''send them competence for the
necessities of their married lite."
The simplicity of this request is
only .eQualed by that of the person
who, desiring better education, wrote
Mr.. Emerson for the requisite funds,
to be sent him "by the last part of this
week, or fore part of next" But all
these reformers,
Oreamers OF dreams, born out Of their due
time.
found themselves unwelcomed at the
hearth of this truly hospitable man, if
they did not conform to the require
ments of decent society. The philoso-
pher was gentleness itself, and toler-
ance found in him it's exemplar, but
neither wilful rudeness nor unclean-
ness would he permit
One day a short, thick man, dirtv
and wild-eyed, arrived and asked to
see Mr.. Emerson. He announced that
he had come from Russia, and stood
with his hat on when his host entered
the room. Mr. Emerson saluted him,
asked him to be seated, and offered to
tal-e his hat. The man declined. and
began to explain his mission. Again
did Mr.. Emerson ask him to remove
his hat, but the man paid no attention
to the request, and insisted on explain
inp h ic advanced Wow,
Eyes, but let me take your hat, sir"
said his host.
The Russian made some impatient
remark about attending to such trifes,
and began again, upon which Mr.. EN-
erson said, firmly, but with perfect
sweetness:
very we'll, then. we will talk in the
yard,' showed his guest out, and
walked to and fro with him under the
apple-trees, patiently listening. 1t was
not long, however, before the Russian
departed, doubtless shaking off the dust
OF his feet against man so welded to
the slavlsh customs of society as Mr..
Emerson.
Aud from the journal of this sweet
and hospitable soul come the words:
In reference to the philanthropies
OF the day, it seems better to use than
to hout them"
He was incapable of fouting any one
who was honest. even in mistaken be-
lief.-Youth's Companion.
