BE KIND.

DEDICATED TO MARIE MILLER.
For Lafayette Advertiser.
Bitter words are often spoken
Harshly, for want Of second thought;
Loving hearts estranged and broken
BY careless acts foolish sport;
Gentle bosoms warm responding
To each other kindred tone,
Thoughtless deeds have made desponding.
Desecrating loves pure throne,
Man is mortal, dust must perish,
But immortal love endures;
Know'st thou tbs wrong to cherish
Hatred unto evil doers!
Vain to add caprice to error
Fresh incentive to strife
To create reign of terror
And embtter all Of life
Guard your trust in faithful keeping,
Human love and truth EXTEND
Speak to all kind words OF greeting;
Light with darkest night may blend.
Throwing rays Of tender kindness
Warmly @ er the down-cast SOUL
Waking men from utter blindness
Into love beyond control.
All are brothers ordained equal,
All Of one great Father born
Love incarnate, life's sweet sequel,
Dawned on earth Christmas morn
q Kind and true, that's LIES days ending,
Angels be your guide and guard
That no shadowed doubtfal trembling
On your path heavenward. A. c.

INSANE IMMIGRANTS.

Governor Odell, through the State Commits
sion in Lunacy. has turned his attention to the
desirabiity of further restricting the influx of
insane and other defective persons into this
State. He has found that the foreign born
population Of the State is only p per cent OF
the whole. The foreign born population of the
inmates OF the State hospitals for the insane is
more than so per cent OF the whole. There is
therefore clear excess of % per cent In
other words, the number Of inmates in instltu-
tions for the insane is 24OO0 II the ratio of
foreign born population in the State held good
there should be only $4,000.
Financially and otherwise il is difficult 10
realize what this vast excess means. At the
present low cost OF caring for the insane 1t
means an outlay in this State alone of nearly
S1.oo0.o00 a year. 1t is known that the average
life OF the insane in institutions is at least
twelve years. Taking into consideration the
cost OF buildings, repairs TO the same. cost OF
administration and interest on investment the
cost for each insane person during this period
is, at a low estimate, So 900. During each
period Of twelve years there is an expenditure
on this account of S1s000000, or 81. 500 600 a
year. For many years New-York suffered more
than any other State by reason of having the
principal port Of entry. Owing 10 the rapid
and cheap means OF transportation, all the
other States are now suffering from this evil
While the excess for the whole country is
somewhat less than that which exists in New
York, il is still very great. so that the annual
cost on this account is more than S1OOO0OOO a
year. Ii is only in recent years-during the last
twenty-ive-that any attempts have been made
by the United States Government TO restrict
undesirable immigration. Owing to the defects
i'm the existing statutes large numbers of per-
sons-the insane, the idiotic the epileptic, the
criminal-are admitted. II requires little imagi
nation TO depict the conditions which will exist
in few short years unless heroic measures are
soon adopted.
Near the close of the last session of Congress
a bill was presented on behalf OF the State Of
New-York which was favorably reported by
the House Committee on immigration. Ii
received the support OF the Secretary of the
Treasury and the Commissioner General ef
immigration. II was so late In the session,
