How iwet are the hour at the close of are day, When the sky is clad in the blue of May, And the sun's last beam on the mountains' height, Sits lingtriog tolook on the shades of night: When the buif ham of the world is still, And the bleating ftotks on the dewy hill, And the lowing herds m the -vale beiow, By. the side of the pure stream's murmuring flow, And the birds in the bowers while the soft wind blows, Are asleep on the bosom of sweet repose.

'Rutland, June, 1836. A. EXTRACTS From the nineteenth annual report of the stale ofihe asylum for the relief of per sons deprived of the use of their reason. The Managers of Friends' Asylum be ing desirous of spreading a more general knowledge of tne superior accommoda tions it possesses for the care and cure of the insaacs have, in conformity with the directions of the contributors at their late annual', meeting, prepared for publication the following account of the institution : ThqrAsyuJni is situated in a healthy and. retired neighborhood, about six miles north-east j from Philadelphia, and one mile west 'from Frankfora, on a farm of -Uty-two acres, about one-fourth of which ' is woodland. The buildings consist of a ; . centre, sixty feet square, three stories high, with, basement, having two wings each two stories high, and twenty-four feet I j wide, connected with lodges at each end I i three stories hPgh, presenting a whole j ' front of three hundred and twenty feet, all t of stone, and covered with slate. The pa- tients' rooms are commodious, and well t ventilated and warmed by means of heat- ed air. The lodges are used for the sep- ! S amteonfinement of the violent and noisy maniacs, and are so constructed as efTect- I " ually to prevent the other patients from i hearing or being disturbed with the noise. I I Those patients who are so far convales f 1 cer t ts to bo allowed the privilege, have ac 1 ( cess to the parlor, the Managers room, the j j principal halls, gardens and grounds of j t the institution. It has been found reTy difficult to adopt anv r.niform system of employment adapt ed to the different conditions of our pa tients ; they are generally unwilling to en gage iii out-door labor, which is on all accounts the best. The Managers, how ever, under an entire conviction of the great benefits which Tesult from constant exercise in the open air, endeavor to pro mote useful occupation among them. ' Snch of the male patients who, from habit and health, are equal to the task, assist the farmer and gardener in their various oc cupati6ns;;th3 femile patients are em ployed in sewing, knitting, quilting, and other branches ot housewifery'. TO attract and tix the attention of all dis inclined to useful occupation, considera ble effm has been made; for this pur pose, tho' introduction of animated object; being deemod beneficial, lambs, poultry, English -rabbits, pigeons, Sec. have been placed in tha patients' yards with good ef fect; -and for such as may be detained witbjn. doors ,by the weather or ill health, materials for drawing and writing, boois popular periodicals with engravings, and aTariely'of articles hare been provided calculated to interest and please them. A circular rail-way ,of about four hun dred feet circumference located on the lawn in front of the building, has been const rucled, with a car for ivro rersons. to be propelled "by themselves, affording at one amusement and exercise to those en gaged, and occupying the attention of oth er patients'. liupon the morning and afternoon of each day when tne weather is suitable, a carriage u m reasucsa 10 taice those pa tients designated by the physicians thro' tne pleasant naes pi me vicinity. r tv ixii sticwiuuuj w t"uiuweiQe com fort of the afflicted dbjects of their the Managers have cirecieu. me appoint ment of an-oCicer Of leach sex, whose pe culiar, duty it shallM to strire usefully ana agreeably to occupy tne tune axa at tention oi the respective patients, in such rhannsr as may be 'most conducive to the good of each individual at the same time to seek and to cherub, every Teturning ray of reason. ' On the evening of the first day of the w5k, the patients, both male and female. (with tie exception of those precluded bv ill heaTthi or necessity of . seclusion,) are collecteil together in their respective day Tooras.'where a portion ofthe Holy Scrip tures is read to thetn. It is seldom that n v interruptions take place ; on the con txarr the silence and" the quiet that reigns r m r r ' . .1 '.II -' " arouna rs ouenrciaritaoie. The course of treatment pursued is one of mild and gentle, yet hrm restraint. Towards every description 01 caser, whether the disease be ot long or more recent duration, or whether the symptoms mild or severe, the most soothing and lrentle treatment is uniformly extended ; i the Superintendent and Matron, with the I Resident and Visitingr Physicians, and i Assistants, are thus enabled, in general, io obtain the confidence, and to secure a de- i ffree of discipline amongst those under their care, the accomplishment of which, by such means, is considered an object of primary importance ; an opportunity is tbus afforded for minute investigation of the peculiar character of each case, show-1 medical remedies necessary to be cm oloved as well as pointing out those essential moral auxiliaries, which sympa- thetic feeling, and an attentive observation of mental disorders, are calculated to sug- ffest ; steadily pursuing this course of OLCUU j . ?f . , -i6num . 6..v.a . . that the number of restorations during the past year has considerably exceeded that cf snr former period a result wmcntnev believe is mainly owing to the additional I 11 afforded for the employment, re , . r.i . creation ana amusement 01 tne panems. sendmi? insane Datients to a consmeraojo distance from home. The Managers, de sirous of extending more widely the bene fits of the institution over which they pre side, would urge this consideration upon the attention of those whose connexions or j friends may unhappily be afflicted with this affecting malady. The terms of board, it is believed, are as low as at any similar Institution in this country, vary ing according to the nature of the cas? and the circumstances of the patient. The Asylum continues under the superintend ence of John C. Redmond and wife, whose services continue to be satisfactory to the Managers and the Medical department is entrusted to well qualified Physicians, one of whom resides m the house. Eve ry department ofthe Institution is inspect ed weekly by a Committee of the Mana gers, and experience proves it to be of great importance that patients should be placed under care in the early stages ol the disease, as by far the larger number of recent cases are restored or very much im proved. From the Physician's report it will ap pear that the whole number of patients under care during the vear has been one hundred and eight showing an increase in the number of admissions of 20 over the preceding year. By the Treasurer's report a balance of $313 78 remained in his hands on th 1st inst. The sum which has accrued from the board of patients is Si 0,459 80. From contributions and donations $512 50, in cluding a legacy of $500 from our late friend Francis Wisely, deceased. The whole amount of expenditures for all pur poses is $10,683 5S $1,000 of the loan having been paid off leaving the debt of the institution $11,100. In thus laying before the contribotors the present improv ed condition of the Asylum, to whom its continued prosperity must be an object of deep interest, the Managers cannot refrain from expressing their conviction that the Asylum will not be deemed placed on a sure foundation until disencumbered of debt, and with its regular receipts fully defraying all its expenditures. The produce ofthe Farm is as follows : 35 loads Hay, 500 bushels Potatoes, 190 bushels Corn, loti bushels Wheat, 107 bushels Oats, 30 bushels Onions, 160 bushels Turnips, 30 bushels Ruta Ba?a, 90 bushels Parsnips, and 8 hogs weigh- ng 1779 lbs. Tte privilege of admission ir.to the Asylum is riot note as formerly confined to those in membership or profession xcith the Society of Friends the Contributors having at their annual meeting in 1834, authorized the admission of those not tn comiexion tcith the Society.

This is mainly attributed i to the increased remedial means, which, in accordance with the improvements of the age have been introduced in the Asyl um. Of all the disorders to which the hu- man frame is liable, that which is termed Insanity, although most interesting, on account of its deranging the operations of i the mirrd, and involving the exercise ot the reason, has bee Instead of rcgardi strirllv a mnrbid .tatn nf snmp nf ihcr.hrs- ! ical organs, and the deranged mamfesta- tinner? ,-i m.rJ,r st.mntnmc i . V . . l - J" 1 HVllO VI 111 IliU 1UVU I f 111V - lli MJO Ul that state, it has been too common to look upon it as an unintelligible malady of the immortal existence itself; and the'unhap- py lunatic has been left, with a simple provision for his animal wants or com forts, a victim to the idle and ignorant be lief that his disease was immedicable, and must be left to the healing virtue of time, and a straight-jacket. Happily for the afflicted inmatfs of the Asylum, a disposi tion has ever been manifested by those to whom us management has been intrusted, to place within their reach, as far as the resources of the institution will admit, most of the remedies which experience has proved best calculated to remove or mitigate their pitable condition. During the past year much pains has been taken to increase the facilities for the proper moral treatment of the patients, and there can be no doubt, that the large proportion of cures among those who had been for years, suffering in an almost hopeless state of insanity, is to be greatly ascribed to the increased number of means which have been supplied, to be used under the direc tion of those qualified to prescribe them. When contemplating the powerful influ ence exercised by the physical organizn tion over the mental operations, as exhib ited in the raving delirium of a person la boring under acute inflammation of the brain; and the direct and speedy effect produced upon the mind bv remedies ad dressed immediately to the diseased or gan; we can form some tolerably c orrect judgment of ih recipn-cal reaction of the ', mental upon the material part, and can not but be convinced, that amusement, em-! ployment, or whatever is calculated to sooth or divert the intellectual excitement are as much proper and legitimate pre scriptions, as the use of calomel, opium, or the lancet ; and every conscientious Physician, in treating those depending for restoration to health upon his skill, will feel the absence of the one, as much as he would the loss ofthe others. The great benefit which has resulted from the im provements made within the past year, gives reason to believe that no effort will be spared still further to increase the re sources ofthe Asylum in the means best calculated to remove or relieve the awful malady with which its patients are afflict ed. Eight deaths have occurred in the Asylum during the past year, being about 7-4ths per cent. All of these but two were patients brought to the institution during the year, after they had been long suffering under their various diseases and been subjected to active medical treatment. IN os. 365 and 407 had been residents at the Asylum for a considerable length of time, they were both in the seventy-first vear of their age, the former died instan taneously cf Apoplexy, the latter died of Gastritis after a protracted sickness. Nos. 421 and 471 died of Inflammation ofthe Brain after a few days' residence in the ! Asylum. No. 398 died of Paralysis aged i 38 years. No. 457 died of Mania a Potu j ! aged 63. No. 443 died of Tumor in the j Brain aged 34. No. 454 died of lnflani- j mation ofthe Brain and Gastritis combin- ed, aged 45 years. ! Of tht fnrtv.siv nntipnt: nnw in the ; Asylum, fifteen have been afflicted with lnnnit.' nnw-nr.tc r.f tivpntv vpnrc t:-tppn upwards cf ten years, seven upwards of five years, two between one and two years, and one rather less than one year. Three of them are above seventy years of age, six between sixty and seventy, fourteen between fifty and sixty, twelve between forty and fifty, six between thirty and for- ty, and five below thirty The most ofthe old patients who have ; been long residents in the institution, with ' the exception of that affection of the brain which prevents the right exercise of rea - son, enjoy uninterrupted health through- out the year, and ore generally comforta - ble and contented. There are a few whose disease is periodical, and who, ex- cept when suffering under an attack, are capable of performing many duties about the establishment, and thus rendering their residence there both useful and more agreeable: to these, the quiet, and regu - lated discipline oi the nouse, insure the rational eniovment of their mental now - depriving them ofthe use of their reason, that those who have the charge of them, should be fully aware, that the surest and most expeditious plan which can be pur sued, to restore them to health, and the en joyment of lhir rational faculties, is to place them, as soon as practicable in some institution, prepared for the proper treat ment of such cases, where an uninterrupt ed course can bo pursued,, calculated, as far as human means can effect it, to re move the causes of their disease, and bring them back to a condition in which they can again enter into the enjoyment of life, and engage in its various duties. Ex perience has so fully established the truth of t hi, that it cannot be too urgently ad vised, thai no time should be unnecessari ly lost ; for the probability ol a cure being eflcctedis greatly increased by promptly n strangely neg ected. 11 Saiu our aengnuui privilege to " , in aaaiuon to all ot which the wy,. no- it a i reallv i? , congratulate me cause ol clow n-troddeu ; uj,cu, vm iui mibu ultulow, U1, luuk& ; ers mtena lurnishmo- their natron,, ers, aunnga-mucn larger pomon ot tneir i Museum j vjiioert uougiass; LUe ct Pe- i i,mtlV6 ' , ., ,u.

The Delegates. About five hun dred delegates were in attendance, from every State in New-England, constituting a portion ofthe benevolent, moral and re ligious elite of the land. Wherever they r.re personally known, they are recogniz ' tne pioneers in every good cause as the best friends of peace, of temperance, of moral reform, and of the gospel of Je sus Christ.

Suffice it to say, they were charac terized by distinguished ability, by a deep and increasing interest to the close of a three days'session, by the absence of dis turbance from without, by unanimity with in, by fearlessness and freedom of speech, by the power of love and a sound mind, by the strongest abhorrence of slavery and prejudice, and by some ofthe most touch ing exhibitions ofthe human soul.
