A good example of his skill occurs in Jfard Ca..ih, when Captain l)odd loses his senses from long-continued excitement, rWixposure and Hardship, but recovers again after two years of wandering— the immediate remedial agent being a blow upon the head, received in Calling from the yard-arm of a vessel. Another equally faithful picture of monomania occurs in the same book, when the avaricious Kichard Ilardv has tliei"sane fancy that lie is hopelessly ruined, and endeavors to gain his living by begging, although possessed of great wealth. Such faithful pen pictures prove him to have been a careful student of insane mental manifestations. hack cry has no lunatics, simply boe«use the interest of his writings depends not so much upon incidents and fiction, "H upon careful delineation of motive imdf keen dissectidit of the springs of human action.

Nothing could be more truthful than the account of the gradual fading of I'aul Domboy, or lie chid-wife Dora, liul his portrayal of insanity is faulty. Ilia lunatics have altogether too much method in their madness, and do dot fMt to show forth all their liianitoM ceecntrieities therein. The perennial Mr. Dick, for instance, never does anything which savors of mental unsoundness, except tly kites and pen memorials regarding 6 liar lea I., and is capable of at-* tending to business, gives wise counsel (all the while charging himself with insanity contrary to all other crazy people), never gets excited, but leads a most exemplary life with the two exceptions above mentioned. Mr. K.'s AuuV- is a trifle better, although she goftftofche other extreme, and never *iy$ ordoes sensible thing—which is

'*{'tives, to render any special insanity quite superfluous. It is interesting to note the partiality of various novelists to certain forms of death. Dickon's good characters die of decline, while his villainous ones meet some sudden and awful death. Thackeray's characters are long-lived, and generally die of old age or paralysisvery rarely by any violent death.

One hot day, the mercury standing ninety degrees in the shade, the Judge sat in his oflloe, lolling in hit! easy chair, placed just in the draft—the little there was—doing his best toopon up the mystery of an old opaque "last will and testament" submitted to his judicial determination. Just as tin* hroczo grew sensibly strong and refreshing, the Judge's olfactories contorted under the smell of musk. Ilia Honor looked up from the ancient doaument he was considering, and beheld a lady standing in tho open door. With a gentle wave of his hand, as it motioniniug her to turn one side, the Judge roc ted her with,

Meg pardon, madam, but von don't smell well." "Sir," replied the astonished dame, in a tone that would have frown a loss imperturbable man in his seat, notwithstanding the excessive boat, and throw herself out of the ofhee.

Tho Judge dropped to the contemplation of his rajior. Directly a stem voice greeted him with, "Are. you the ehap that insulted my wife?"

Agnin the judge looked up from his work, and seeing a strong hnili-man standing in his doorway, frowning upon him, answered promptly, "No j4lr plea«N» be seated." "Didn't yon just tell my wife she stunk?" thundered the man. "No sir said the Judge, firmly "I am Incapable of saving that to" any-

The husband relaxed his list, looked at his wife, smiled, then, turning to the Judge, said.
