Kirb men, trust not in weiilth;
Gold cannot buy you health;
I'IivhIo hiins.lf rnuat fade;
All tiling to end are ramie;
Tbe plague fall swift toes by.
Pr-mity is hut a flower,
Which wrinkles will devour;
Urichtness trom th ft'rj
tyueens have died young and fair;
Dust bnj closed Helen's eye.
Ptrcnpth atoepe Into tbe grvo;
Worms Iced on Hector orave.
Swords may not light with laic;
Karth still holds opt! her pnte.
Come, come, tbe bells do cry;'
I am sick, 1 must die.
Lord, have mercy on u!
IVbnt lias Become ot tho Gold Watches?
A f ify contemporary thus discusses the singu
lar diKiippeiinuice of gold watctitw throiurhoat
the country Mnce Government bin levied a tux
upon them:
"Tlio question 'What becomes ot all the pins ?'
now finks into tusipnitlcuncc bcide another in
quiry o' more serious moment, What has become
of ail tbe gold watches ? This country has been
famous for these glittering time-pieces. Not a
well-fo-do.eeutleiDan in unv pari of ttie bind but
bad bin gold ticker; they were an indispensable
portion ol a young lady's nitire, and even beard
less bo.vs weie wicf to possess the covelo.l
trensure, and could not wait for it un'il they
come to man's esfute. But, uDtbrtunutply i.ir
the happy uwucrrt of these elecraut articles, the
ce cf the greedy tax catherer was caupat by
their u litter, and they were to be made to con
tribute to the .National revenue. Any gold
watch in iip, worth b'ss tnnn $liio, V to tie
charge 1 SI, and when valued at over $100 was to
pay ?2 tax jirr nhuura. At this precise moment,
by' a singular coincidence, a lure part of the
gold watches in many S!t" d.sanpearod from
record. The sudden vanishing of b; much valu
able property should be a matter fit public con
cern, and we desire to direct towards it the
attention of all who are interested, In tho hope
of obtaining some explanation ot this remarka
ble phenomenon." The tollowiGt!, from tho latest
official return of the Commissioners of Intcrnul
Keveuue, exhibits the extent ol this startling
loss, and may partially aid m its recovery.

Thus we have only 789(1 p-oM watches loft out
ot all the thousands which were ownod before
the war; and some States have not a single
specimen. Khode Itsliud, the homo of the
wealthy Senator Kpraiiie, has not one ot the
yellow treasures, even of the most inferior de
Bcription. Conuec icut has not one, and her late
patriotic Governor, it is tair to inter, sports
only a silver bull's-eye ot the antique pattern.
And Wibeonsm 1 In'wa? Minnesota.' Kansas?
and tbe other blanks? Alas! we have no an
swer. Vermont Las two, but tbey are worth
less ihnu $100. Only two told watches ot any
de9ciiptiou in all Vermont 1 In lliehitrnn there
is one. Who is the fortunate man? Will not
fcome Historical Society in that bereft common
wealth give us the name of this fortunate een
tleman who fetill retains bis yellow time-piece ?

Insanity Notable Cases from History.
Insanity is as old as literature, and how much
older we know not. A recent French writer has
devoted a book to demonstrate that the demon
of Socrates was nothing else than a state of
ecstacy and intermittent insanity, which came
ever the philosopher now and then, and seemed
to h in an esotene monitor and guide. Some
of the earliest theologians of the Christian
Church, as well as a niaioiity of the hierarchs
thereot, have been charged with insanity.
Ceorge Rex, Jacob liehmen, Krnauuel Sweden
borg, Johnlunyan, Ann Lee, and founders of
sects and pietist-, too numerous to mention, had
clearly developed traces ot insanity.
Even the rugeed Luther, when he threw his
inkstand at the devil, must havo had at lea-4 a
passing lunacy upou him. Among philcsophers
Kant is the most eminent name knovn to have
been overtaken by madness. This occurred in
his la'er years, anil there has lately beeu dis
covered iu Germany a manuscript volume which
he composed during that period.
Lelaud, the celebrated Kuglish antiquary, was
an enthusiast, who exhausted the liner faculties
ot his mind in prodigious nocturnal labors, until
he was seized, at the age of forty, with Irenzy,
ahd uis penetrating intellect became a melan
choly ruin.
Na't'uauk'l Lee, a dramatist of the seventeenth
century, whoso completions are praised by
Addison, and who U now remembered only by
the ' misquoted lines of his "Alexander tbe
Great'' "When Greeks joined Greoks then was
the tug ot war," was so extravagant a madman
that he hid to be incarcerated in bedlam at tho
age ot thirty. One evening while composing a
diumtt in his cell, a clou I, passing across the
Hjoou, by whose light he wrote, the insane
author suddenly cued out, "Jove, snuiJ the
morn!"
Christopher Smart, the able translator of
Horace, who won brilliant honors at Cam
bridge, was toon alter atiacked by insanity, an I
shut up in a lunatic asylum, in 1764. "Here,
although deprived ot pen, ink, and paper, ho
composed a poem of a hundred stauzas, in
honor of King David, which he wrote with a
key on the walls ol his cell.
In l.)28, a curious work on "The Anatomy of
Lanunaze" appeared at r lorenca. Its obieet
was to prove that apes possessed the power of
speech, but carol u il v concealed tiio gin trom
the human race. The work was written by one
Joseph BernaraT, while au inmate ot a lunatic
asylum, lie osseried that in the early editions
of Marco Polo it had been well established that
ates bad the faculty of gintriug, and of speech
A Jesuit named Cremoui wrote a refutation.
maintaining that the doctrine was contrary to
the teachings of the Scripture, and consequently
could not be true.
One of the most remarkable of literary luna
tics was John Stewart, commonly known as
"Walking Stewart," who died in London in
1822. Attacked in early li'e bv the mania for
travelling, he soon traversed, on toot, a ereat
portion ot the globe. He then began to write
books, of which he printed upwards of twenty
at his own expeuse, which be distributed cau
tiously amour his friuds, tothattuey have now
occome rare. They were chietiv devoted to what
he calls "The Polarization ot Moral Truth." He
was haunted with the notion that the kings of
tbe earth would one day combine to destroy bis
writingi. aud so he besed those wno reeivea
the precious dcpcsiu to envelop them carefully,
and bury them six or eight teet underground,
being carelul to disolobe only on their death
bed, and on a pledge of secrecy, the spot
whe-e they were eutomoed.
John Clare, known, as the ' Mad Poet," who
published Lis poems at London, in l,!.r, met
with such ticelect taat rea-on deserted him. fits
insanity, however, was ol a mild and tranquil
ncscnjition, and his memory so tenacious that it
absolutely assimilated everything he had once
beard or read.
A Pcnnslvania lawyer, namel Millnian,
excited great attention a tew vears a?o by the
singular merit of his literary essays, descilplive
ot scenery, etc., and written in the lucid inter
vals ot an insanity from which ho was never
free more than a le- hours together.
We have no loom remaining to du tnor than
mention the madness of Tasso, who composed
his eloquent and impassioned verses during
paroxysms of insanity ; ol Lucretius, the Hainan
poet, who wrote muob of his immortal poo.n,
''De Hormn lMatura," when sutferine trom an
attack of mental aberration: of Dean Swift, who
predicted that he should "die at the too," lik a
blasted tree, and fulfilled the prophecy by fall
ing into a complete idiocy in his closing years;
ot the poet Collins, whose sensitive and finely
organized brain sunk into a despairing madness
from the world's neglect of his genius; of Hons
renti, who was an inspired mad man through the
greater part of his long literal y career; and of
Cowpor, whose religious and melancholy spirit
was saved from Insanity, at last, only by the
happiest social influence;.
A Woman's Kxtravao anck and a L.w.tit.
A l'uris letter-writer tells this story : "The Civil
Tribunal has lust tr.ed an action brought by a
tradesman, nu:iid Abel, aeamst Mad'lle Daisncl,
a well-known actress ol the lioulles Parlaiennes,
to recover the sum of .151)1) Irancs fur goods de
livered in 1HH4 in the short space of two months.
Ai'ionc the items ol the account were a long
vilvet jacket, tifli) francs; two poult de soie
diB'ses one at M)0 Irancs, and the otacr ftOO
francs; a ball dress, 000 francs; a silk dress, (,i)
Inn, cs; a domino, 720 Irancs. It appealed from
the sttiten t nt ot counsel, that the defendant was
a minor when the debt was contracted, but that
she attaint d her niajori'y iu October last; and
bavine refused t pay the phiiutiu", the present
proceedings were commenced. The counsel for
the defendant plea led his client's minority at
the time of takimr the eoods; also, that they
bud been in a manner forced on her by the
plaintiil and bis aents, ,it a time when her
salary was utterly inadequate to justify such
an expenditure; and, lastly, that the "prices
were cxtravacant. Tho tribunal rejected the
plea ot minority, but decided that some of the
prices were exorbitant, and accordingly reduced
the plaintiff's ceount to 42110 Irancs, for w hich
sum it pave judgment, with costs."
