The wheels of the world go round and round,
In the press of a busy throng.
Morn with Us matin melody
And ni«l>t with its vesper song;
The tides are out and the tides are in,
Like the sea in its ebb and flow,
For there s always one to stay at home
Where there is one to go.
Abroad cm the highway’s noisy track '
- There is rush of hurrying feet.
The sparks fly out from the wheels of Time
Tb brighten the bitter and sweet;
But apart from the beaten road and path,
Where the pulse of earth runs slow,
There is always one to stay at home
Where there is one to go.
Over an3 over good-byes #*e said.
In tests that die with the day.
When eyes are wet that can not forget.
And smiles have faded away: |
Smiles that are worn as over a grave, »
Flowers will blossom and blow;
For there's always one to stay at home
Where there is one to go.
Always one for the little tasks
Of a day that is never done;
Always one to sit down at night
And watch with the-stars alone.
And be who) fights on the world's broad field.
With banner and blast and drum,
Little dreams of a battle gained
By the one who stayed at home!

FREAKS OF INSANITY.
Singular Delusions—Tact Required
& Dealing with Lunatics. v
As a rule insane men either die or are
eared in the course of a few year?, and
of the former probably ninety per cent
die of general paralysis. It is the re-
sult either of overwork or bodily ex-
cesses, and generally attacks a nfan
between the ages of thirty or forty.
- The premonitory symptoms are extreme
exaltation and buoyancy of feeling.
The victim is immensely powerful, he
is an irresistible Adonis, he is the most
brilliantly intellectual man of his day,
or be is many times a millionaire and
has an infallible recipe for making
eoloesai fortunes on the shortest possi-
ble notice. A case is related of a Low
Chnrck clergyman who imagined him-
aelf a sort of assistant to the frinity, and
died perfectly happy in the belief that
he was helping the Godhead by his
ministrations, and thrusting into outer
darkness all those whose tenets were
at variance with, his own. The physi-
cian of a French lunatic asylum says:
“I am frequently followed by a General
who declares that he bad just fought a
great battle, and left 50,000 men dead
on the field. At my side is a monarch
who talks of nothing but hh> subjects
and provinces. Over there is the
prophet Mohammed in person, de-
nmmeing in the name of the Almighty;
and seat him is the sovereign of the
universe, who could with a breath an-
nihilate the earth.”
An interesting fact in connection
with the insane is the great age to
which so many female lunatics live.
A madwoman is really a first-class in-
snranoe risk. In almost every lunatic
asylum the women greatly outnumber
the men, not only because they are so
long-lived, bnt also because they are
•o seldom cured. Insanity differs ac-
cording to temperament. Pritchard
says: “Choleric persons, or those who
have black hair and eyes, with warm,
vigorous constitutions, become vio-
lently maniacal, but have a££horter or
more acute distemper, more frequently
terminating in a marked crisis than
others; the sanguineo-phlegmatrc, or
persons of pale complexion with flaxen
hair, fall more readily into a chronic
disease; the dark-haired are gloomy
monomaniacs; red-haired are violent,
treacherous and dangerous.” Excess
of self-love, by the way. is an ingredient
in all oases of monomania.
There is no end to the curious tales
told of .the illusions of insane people,
and the inmates of lunatic asylums are
as incongruous in their variety as the
k democracy of genius. In the asylum
I have in mind there is an old lady who
does not believe in death. She sees in
her fellow-patients her father and
mother, her hnsj>and and children, her
brothers, “sisters and her cousins, and
her aunts,” and imbues each with the
identity of some one of her relatives,
•occasionally with most embarrassing
results.
Another woman imagines that she
ean not sit down..and suffers excrucia-
ting tortures if she is forced into a seat.
Another disfigures her hands with all
sorts of cabalistic signs'and figures in
tok, which, she says, are the Psalms.
She claims that she can write much
better on her skin than on paper, and
insists upon the necessity of continually
recording the Psalms, because nobody
else knows them, and her memory is
so poor that she is afraid to trust it
Besides which, if she did not renew the
record from time to time, hsr body
would absorb them, and then the doc-
tors would have to dissect her to find
them again.
Another woman has worn her fingers
down to the top joint by incessantly tele-
graphing on the walls to her dead hus-
band. A case is recorded of a woman
Who thought her bones were luminous,
and ready to take fire, but who was
cured by rubbing her skin with oil con-
taining phosphorous, and pretending
large - blister on his abdomen:; at the
ifistant it was dressed and the.vesicated
skin snipped, a dressed-up figure was
thrown from behind him, as if just ex-
tracted from his body. The patient
believed In the performance, and was
filled with joy at first, but an attack
of indigestion returning-, which he had
associated with thedelusion, he thought
the
old hiding-plpce again, and suffered
relapse.
Whenever jt is possible. ^ doctors
always humor the delusions of insane
people, and so when a woifian who was
suffering with delirium tremens de-
clared that the boys, wehe fishing for
her through the window, and implored
the doctor to clear the fish-hooks out'
of her bed. he readily complied. ,Biit
the Innatic who insists that there is a
plot to poison her is not sq easily
satisfied, and she is a common charac-
ter in all insane communities. A pro-
pensity to theft is often a feature of
moral insanity, and sometimes it is the
sole characteristic. In an English
asylum some years ago there was a
lunatic who would not eat unless he
had stolen his food, and, his ketLper
taken,” and agreed.

cases whether a lunatic is cured' or hot

When a Wedding was announced to take

A curious case is related of a man
who had a mania of putting thingsjn
order. If articles of ladies’ work or>
books were left on a table, he would
surreptitiously put them all in order,
spreading the work smooth and put-
ting the other articles in rows.. He
stole into other people’s bedrooms to
arrange them, and was kept so busy
running from one roomto another that
he hadn’t time to dress for meaisi and
sat down to dinner in his dressing-gown.
Frequently he took a walk in the even-
ings with a lantern, because he had
not been able to get ready earlier in
the day. If it happened to be a star-
light night, the disorder of the heavens
would drive him wild. ’
Another eccentric character made it
a practice^ open his window at a cer-
tain hour every night, and cry' out
murder efactlv twelve times; also to*
go every ,day after dinner into the mid-
dle of the quadrangle of the asylum and
throw his hat into the air twelve times,
vociferating at each throw'. His motive
was a notion that by tjiis consistency
and uniformity o? conduct he afforded
a proof of his sanity. When his
physician approached him. he recoiled
with horror, exclaiming, “If you were
to feel mv pulse, you would be ford
paramount over me the rest of my
life.” ,
, > ■* '. ..
Some lunatics never have any one
permanent delusion.. One man who
fairly revelled in the art of lying
always had a false report ready about
his keepers—they ate his food, wore
his clothes, and stoke his tobacco. Once
a week the lining of his clothes was
unpicked, the bed ticking opened, and
the head of the bedstead removed in
a search for the knives and forks, the
handkerchiefs, and brushes and combs
which he had stolen from his felloyr-
patients, and the half-picked bones
and pieces of bread which he had fur-
tively abstracted from their plates. 'His
madness mainly consisted, however, in
a morbid love of being noticed.
A gtory is told of an- eccentric gen-
tleman who went around with a knife-
grinder's outfit, and exulted in tire
havoc he made in the cutting " instru-
ments intrusted to him.' Tiring of this,
he started as an old-clothes, dealer
and this getting irksome, he returned
home, but instead of going in at the door,
he nnide a hole in the root and entered
that way. He amused" himself at night
by driving a pig tied to a cord through
the village, upon whofce nose some-
thing had been fastened to make him
squeak. He varied this performance
by exchanging the farmers’ cattle and
removing their gates, etc.
It commonly surprises visitors to a
lunatic asylum to find fhat*insane peo-
ple are not for a moment deceived by
the delusions of their fellow-patients.
Each will think himself perfectly sane,
and healthy, while knowing that all
the others are hopelessly mad. Al-
though a lunatic's mental freedom may
be destroyed, it does not follow that
his consciousness is abolished. A minis-
ter who was called upon once to preach to
a congregation of lunatics treated them
to a sermon he had written for children.
Much to his surprise, he received an
indignant lejter-from one of his listeners
afterwards, reminding him that while
they might be.insane, they were not
the wedding Cake, but alw ays with' the
proviso that he was not “in limbo’4
when the time came. *
