Indian Corners iies in a state of wdd ei eitemimt when . - Gertrude Graham married Peter Pillsbury.' Do not think too badly of 3e:trade Graham when I tell you that she married against her mother's will. Whoever poor Gertrude had married, from the lowest to the highest in the land, ycsmg or old, rich or poor; Mrs. Graham would have found some reason for beitig furiously • set against the match. She was* thin, ye/ lo* woman, with a sharp, -red' nose, that always looked Cold. Her nOrtitil expression: * * as one of iudignation, which she sometime*: exchanged for one of despairing melancholy. , She felt ' injured by Gertrude's protracted, spinsterhood, but refused her- consent to, every offer the poor girl' seemed.. likely to have, even befdre it was made. On his 8 ,4 0. and visit the wooer was dinnissed Walt an as.: parity that node him remember:lm old, legends concerning mOthersin-law,and - feel i thankful for his l etcape. Therefore, when at thirty, with such good Wog as-she irriglwllly bad on the waael. l , GeArtule attracted the attention of Mr. Pills. bury, a pale young druggist's clerk, with a , hollow chest, and a disposition to` . ; write poetry for the local newspapers, who can blame her if she marred ; , him one morning without consulting her L OU° remaining par. entl Mr. Graham bad hung hiMself to • baru door early ikhis married life, having', . . previously chalked across its panels th i s gmmatic Jepitapla 4 -Couldn't stand .it no indre." - = • 74 , She 'married, went home with her husband and her ",certificate," and was instantly die. inherited and turned out Of doors. "I disown you," Said gis. Graham, point. ing to the door with her skinny, finger—"l disown :you. Nile darken -this here door no moreunless you Wish to' have my cuss. Go!" ). ;- The young apothecary; who was just twenty, and had a salary of five dollars a week, hurried his' adored one, away, , and wrote a poem for the Rural Adviser, entitled . "The Mother's Curse," the next week. The poem, appeared; but the " Adviser . " did not 'pay? , for contributions, and it added nothing to the weekly income. Perhaps Mr. Pillsbury had hoped that,his mother-in-la4v would relent toward her only daughter, but if so he was mistaken ; frame of mind remained the same. , •She lock4up her memory with a morel &ter. mined aspect,. threatened. to " cusalhe un happy Gertrude mare vehemehtly,', and frightened young Pillsbury out of *am whenever she , met him in the village it 'street bylestowing upon him a glanca whiCh, if It trawl your - dear ma, Gertrude, I should call fiendish," Mr. , Pillsbury afterwards -re -marked to his wife.

The directions are these Place the person to be operated tat- naturally in W. chair. With your left hand suspend by &airing, about a foot from the eyes, some small object, a dark marble, or a bright steel ball, or a diamond—it mat ters not what, though something bright is, perhaps preferable. Direct the subject to fasten his eyes and concentrate his attention on the Object. Slowly raise your left hand untiithe object is as far above the , eyes - of the patient as is compatible with his gazing ideal* at it. Watch his eyes. At first you wilt see the pupils contract, but after &few seconds they will expand rapidly. When they are at the point of greatest expansion, move the first' two fingers of your right hand ft= the object directly ,toward 'the eyes, thilfingista being separated, forklike, to em •bnio• bath cyst; As the fingers approach • ititiill44oloo.l4thk-11414wi.444--bit 'unable to open Gunn. •••• After it quarter of i• minute the "object wm be thoroughly undo: control, so that the operator may make him believe whatever he tells him. Left quiet, the subject will sink into 'a proforindtorpor t during 'which his ears malty be pierced, his cheeks sewed to his .nosev and _circa a finger cut off without pain. To arouse him—and this is an important step—wind, either from a hand-bellows or a fan, shonld be directed against his , eyes, or else his eyes should be tickled with a feather. The rationale of the ' method is simple. The fixed stare of the subject fatigues hie retinal nerves, and, when the operator's fingers approach the eyelids close, as eyelids always do whenthe eyes are threatened. But the fatigue of 'the nerves has produced muscular fatigue as well, tran sient paralysis in the eyelids has resulted, and they cannot be opened. The eyelids being, then, closed, the delicate. -frontal nerves exhausted,' and the mind made vacant by monotonow attention to one subject, the patient is in li:condition to fall asleep—and he does fall - OdeeP.- He- is now ready to dream. The only thing remaining to do is to make hitn dream., - But how is this to be effected? Dreaming, as has long been de. tennined, is the result of external saws. tion. Dr. Gregory, to illustrate, having been thinking of Vesuvius, went to bed with a jug of hot water et his feet and dreained that he was climbizigthe sides of the burn ing mountain. Dr.' *eid read a book on the Wiens, put a bliste to his head on retiring, and thought in his (Jeep flint he was being scalped.' Both the dreams, as all others are, were caused by suggestions offered eiternal ly„, Theft suggestions, being received While the directing, power, the:-common sense of the mind was in abeyance owing to sleep, were interrupted very erroneously, yet, ac cording to plain laws of association. The hot water, in the one case, called up the pro: vim subject of ;thought,. Vesuvius : the dinging blister, in-..the other, the equally stinging scalping imife. It is now easy to see how the sleeping subject may be made to accept as truth whatever he is told.
