Animals Become Insane.

Insanity in the human subject is sup
posed by some to have no analogue in
the lower animals. Yet many cases, &C
cording to Dr. Sneilson, will lead to the
permanent loss of self-control. Cattle
driven from the country through q
crowded town will often work them
selves into a frenzy. Horses have gone
mad on the battlefield. At Balaclava an
Arabian horse turned on it's attendant,
threw him down, and, kneeling on him,
attacked him like an Infatuated dog.
An instance is related of a docile horse
suddenly going mad on a hot day.
Everything that came in It's way 1t
seized in its teeth and shook as a ter
rier does rat. A scientist of author
ity even goes SO far as to prove by what
appears to be incontestible evidence,
that cats, dogs and monkeys have been
observed to have delusions very similar
to those of insane people.-London

GOODNIGHT.

Papa, tiss me dood night?"
Why, bless your wee heart!
/ could kiss you good night
Till the dark curtains part,
Letting in the broad day;
Or hold your wee form
Through the Long hours of sleep
Just to kiss you good morn.
The night has come down
And it finds you undressed
Struggled close in my arms
Like bird in its nest.
I've recited the "piggies"
To all your wee toes,
And have kissed you
Now how many times do you spose,
Papa, tiss me aden?'
Dear, you know papa will!
The lush grasses sleep
On the south sloping hill.
And the trees are asleep,
Oh. my pink bud and white, -
But still you're awake,
And I've kissed you good night
Papa's real goodnight kiss.
Dear, will find you in bed,
When your dimpled arm pillows
Your dear yellow head,
And your eyes are fast shut
And your red lips a-pout
Like loves gates ajar
For kiss to steal out.
And no one may know
What your father feels then,
As he Stops DER your couch
Just to kiss you again.
God keep you forever
From sorrow and blight!
May angels watch over
My darling! Good night!

LUSCIOUS NORTHERN FRUIT.
What il wrong with the ptctures
"YOU ALL" AND owe ALL"
Exp-essiOns That Are Not COnRne ed
to the People of the South.
eEn States.

For some time there has been running
| IL New York paper an amusing discus
sion of the expressions you all' and
I'VE ALL" and in not few instances eff
/! forts have been made to shoulder these
oddities of on the south, says the New
| Orleans Times-Democrat. The express
sions are frequently used in the south,
and often by persons of high culture.
| 1t is not at all uncommon to hear an edu-
| Gated men say: How are you alp" by
| which he means to inquire about all the
members of particular family. So
| educated men and women frequently
say: I'VE all get along nicely here" by
which they mean that "all members of
the family" and so on. 1t is more d.
rect way of saying the thing. 1t con-
veys the idea clearly enough, and is not
open to any objection on the ground Of
"vagueness and uncertainty"
"Of course, these expressions are used
only'in talking. Persons who constant
ly say you all' and "we alp would
never think of writing it in this way.
"You all" and 1--WE alp' are spoken and
not written, just as great many per-
sons who are capable of writing, and do
write, the most exquisite English
butcher all the rules of grammar and
euphony in conversation.
But it is doubtful if I'VE all" and you
all' can be charged up to the south ex-
clusively. They are rather American
provincialisms, and are to be classed
with certain departures Of speech noted
by the late Herbert Spencer
looked upon as shocking and barbarous by
the Englishman. But why should breath
and time be wasted in saying things in
a roundabout fashion? Why ask:
How are the members Of your family"
when How are you all?" will answer
the same purpose? Suppose one is asked
his present place of residence, shall he
wade through the painful detail of the
law and reply that he lives on certain
lot situate. lying and being in GER
tain county, and certain state, and in
the United States of America, and give
the metes and bounds, and the meander-
ings of lines, and certain blaZed black
jacks which have marked its proper
boundaries from the time of the first In
habitant? Not much. Time is too pre-
cious. The quick answer, no less than
the quick action, is one of the impress
sive idiosyncrasies of the age. 1--WE all"
and you all'' may not conform to the
rules of grammar, but it 'says what it
means" and means what it says"
Still, it is not peculiar to the south to
say that all the people use the express
sions 1--WE uns" and you uns," express
sions peculiar to Arkansas, or certain
parts of the state, but by no means gen.
eral
