A Bexnark&ble Coro.
Some months ago a colored man, named Ty
ler. was bronght to the Central Lunatic Asy
lum suffering fn>m insanity of fhomtvt furious
, character resulting from the kick of a horse
! which crushed the skull and pushed down r
! large piece of bone Upon the brain. liis con
I dition required the severest restraint. IV
‘ Conrad, the superintendent, called the alien
; tion of I>r. Hunter McGuire t" the ease, anf
Hr. McCr., after an examination, determined U
, attempt the removal of the hone, which vn:
pressing upon and into the hrain. 'flic opera
; tion was successfully performed, and a pica

j v. itiiHMtii.
This was three months ago, and though pro
• tIou* to this time the patient had been eon
Btantly having fit*, and a* many hh three oi
four per day, he has wholly recovered frorr
them. There is now no Insanity and though
the mind is considerably enfeebled, its powci
Is fast returning. The wound, caused by tin
surgical operation, has cured up, and the msr
is walking about without restraint and promi
Bed to get entirely Well, He has no recollec
tion of anything that occurred during the novel
years—the period of insanity being an entin
blank in his memory. Tho case is an exceed
ingly interesting one to surgeons and phyoiolo
gists, and the cure—for It is now safe to char
actcrlzo It as a cure—is one of the most re
markable ones on record.—Richmond Enq.

g If you havo brush, make Tour lots secure

i replied, “ It consists, in a single thing, ami
t that is, making a right use of my eyes.” His
friend, in surprise, begged him to explain hi*
- meaning. “ Most willingly,” replied tho
- bishop. “ In whatsoever state I am, I first of
i | all look up to heaven, and remember that my
. great business is to get there. 1 I hen look down
2 j npon earth, and call to my mind how small n
space I shall soon fill in it. 1 then l*s.k abroad
i in the world, and sco w hat multitudes are, hr
t all respects, less happy than myself. And
] thus I learn where true happiness « ptvced,

wise than thankful. And to life in this spirit
is to be always happy.
