A REMINISCENCE OF WEBSTER, How lie Saw tha 8a-8erpr nt and Itefuaad to 8pak of It. B. M. W tells me that he learns from pretty good authority that Web ster once saw the sea-serpent It seems it was Grst seen in the bay between Man omet and Plymouth Beach by a perfect ly reliable witness (many years ago) who was acustomed to look out on the sea with, his glass every morning the first thing, as regularly as he ate his breakfast. One morning he saw this monster, with a bead somewhat like a horse's, raised some six feet above the water, and his body, the size of a cask, trailing behind, lie was careering over tho bay, chasing the mackerel, which ran ashore in thoir fright, and were washed up and died in great numbers. I he story is that ebster bad appoint ed to meet some Plymouth gentlemen at .Manotnet and spend the day hsbmg. After the Ashing was over he set out to return to Duxburv in bis sailboat with Peterson, as ho had come, and on the wav thev saw tho- sea-semeut which answered to the common account of this creature. It passed directly across the bows only six or seven rods off, and then disappeared. On the way homeward, Webster having had time to reflect on what had occurred, at length said to Peterson, "For God s sake, never sav a word about this to any one, for if it should be known that I have Been tho sea-serpent, I should never hear the last of it, but, wherever I went, should have to tell tho story to every one I met" So it has not leaked out until now.

"It la odd," says an expert in in sanity, "that when supposably insans people say they are sane it Is the best proof to many who are in charge of asylums that they are insane. And it is on record as the Judgment of certain aylu:n-keepers that there is no surer proof of a patient's sanity than the ac knowledgment on his part that ho is or Las been insane," Doubtless ihere is good ground for these conclusions; but one would natur ally think that the sane person would be the list one to falsely acknowledge present or pa-t insan'ty, whatever the cunning of tho other clas might inspire it to ay or do. Kecently an expert in this city, who had been prominent in a case of'alleged insanity, was afflicted in that way himself, and'he is now in the asylum, while the man against whom he te-tilied is enjoying bis freedom and nobody is the worse for it. Is it not poss b e that men whq practically devote themselves to this subject unavoidably acquire queer not ons, and perhaps ir rational ones? Tho brain is very deli cately constructed, and long devotion to any one matter, whether it be Insan ity or something else, is quite likely to result in what is called the crankish or the unbalanced mind. ' The Rochester papers have long ac counts of the case of a woman who was carried to an asylum apparently with out the slightest legitimate authority. Two men found her at work in' her house and roughly ordered her to go with them. Of course she refuse I. She fled from the house, and they caught her and brought her back, fche strug gled, but they conquered. She pleaded lor mercy, and they cursed her as a vicious subject She begged them to bring her husband, promising that if they complied aud he acquiesced in her removal she would go willingly. She vas shown no mercy, but carried off by force, apparently by the husband's order. It seems that she was taken to to the asylum, as she has written a let ter which is remarkably sane as the pro duction of a violently insane woman, and it is dated at that institution; but what villainy might not be perpetrated by a bad man upon an eccentric, or even an extremely level-headed, wife in this way, provided he desired to eet rid of her? A year or so ago the news papers of the northern part of the State told tho story 01 a woman apparently taken possession of by two blacklegs on the Central Ka'lroad. They said she was insaue. She bers:ed tho passengers to protect her, but the story of insanity was believed. She wished to telegraph to her friends, but this was refused. She was taken off tho cars at Utica, and has not been heard from since. Prob ably the story is untrue; but how easily this manner of outrage might be ner pretrated upon a sane woman. The allegation of insanity shuts' out nil do- fen so. The victim U friendless and an outcast tho moment she is charged with insanity. If she resists she is dangerously" insane. If she protests she is em'otionaliy irrational. If she is silent through despair she has come to a temporary and rather satisfactory realization of her condition. Entrance to a lunatic asylum is too easily effected. Once the victim is there he is comparatively hopeless. Old cases are forgotten aud new cases rapidly grow old. communication with friends is generally forbidden; but too often the friends, so called, are pecuniarily or otherwiso interested In the victim confinement To whom shall the sano occupant of bedlam appeal? The stranger has no time to waste ou strangers, and the relatives and friends are tho ones who are responsible for the outrage, l here nro casual and re gular investigations of the asylums, but bow many of the investigators are con poteut or care to ludire.-" I he man charged with Insanity is comparatively helpless, no matter how sano he may be. There ought to be some means to rectify this great and apparently grow ing evil. ..v. 1. uravatc NEW YORKERS. Tlis Overweening; Conceit of the People or the Metropolis. To men who were born here and have lived here long New York is miles and away so superior to any other city in America that he never thinks of utter ing them or mentioning them in the same breath. This may be the sublimi ty of conceit perhaps it is but the fact remains that ew-lorkers consider there is but one city in America, They may travel all over the world, but when they return to America they live in New lork. in the same way we observe that if a man makes a great fortune in Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Cin cinnati or Pittsburgh he comes here. r many of the niairuilicent palaces on Fifth avenue have been purchased by men from other cities who made haste to come here as soon as they had made vast fortunes. I don't know whether hey like New York or not, but they seem to stay, it is true that a man does not amount to much here unless he is a good deal of a man, but still the advantages of life in the most popular city in the Union are too numerous to be overlooked.

Christian at Work FEASTS AND FASTS. The I'nareountabl Scarcity of rat Day In tha I'liltrit State Compared With th Day of Kt-jololng Observed by Other Na . ttnn. 1 There is an inherent love of festivals and feasts in human nature, a desire to express jov, and that not in solitude.but surrounded by sympathetic friends; desire to experience pleasure, and to experience it unseinshiy, snared by everyone within reach; a desire, possi blv, to make ourselves one in our joy with au the surrounding munan race, It is certain, at any rate, that public festivals do that work lor the time be ing; 'for as long ago as the period of the celebration of tho Greek games, wh eh really bad their origin far back in mvth leal times, the Olympic games kept alive a common - interest; between all the Greek States, and had much to do with the existeuce and preservation of a na tional feeling, while so important were they deemed in this regard that the year 01 their revival, some eight hundred years before our era, was used as chronological period from which to date. The Romans bad fixed, movable and occasional feasts; the Egyptians made them of such moment that it is recorded of one that nearly three-quarters of a minion 01 men and women were present: while the East Indians still make thai festivals quite beyond the usual range of our imaginations with numbers and with treasure. The Jews had an im mense . variety of feasts, all of a sacred nature, among them being the Sabbath the Passover, the Pentecost the Feast of Trumpets marking a day on which every one's doom for eternity was sup posed to be sot down, although with mitigating possibilities, in the case of disastrous doom, should repentance take place before death the Feast of Tabernacles, the Purim and the Dedica tion; while the Christian Church has, with others, its Advent Christmas, Epiphany, Easter and Whitsuntide, all fovous spiritual feasts. But just as strong a tendency with humanity as that to festivals is that to lusts. Indeed, with many, there may oe a preierence as to the latter, owing to a feeling that after duly keeping fast one can enjoy more freely the riotous living of feasts. The Jews had at first but one fast, that of the Atonement, which thev kent with creat seventy. although later the Pharisees were wont to fast every Monday and Thursday, Tho Vrrt-nllana Pllmnlnlana and loan. rians all kept their fasts and the Mo hammedans keep the whole of the ninth month, Ramadan, most strictlv, neither eating nor drinking, however great their suffering, from sunrise till starshine. The Sibylline books ordered a fast to be kept every fifth vear in honor of Ceres, And with the Holy Orthodox Church of the East the -Fast of the Mother of God begins the 1st of August and lasts fourteen days, that Church in especial keeping two hun dred and sixty-six days of the year as days of fast Every one, meanwhile, is laminar with the customs of the re ligious sects about us. and with ourown national feasts and fasts. It is certainly astonishing how verv 1 1 1 . . " .. iew national ieasis we nave, on the whole the more astonishing that in our great pleasure of business, and rapid deed and thought, we need rest and relaxaiion more than most. Christ mas is not universally kept among us, nor is New Year's; we make nothing of the 8th of Jacuarv or of thn 22d of !-'h, ruary, a little bell-ringiug or a few guns compassing the most of our observance of those days; we forget the April day of the rattle of Lexington till after it has passed; aud we content ourselves with a sorry and solemn parade that can not be called a feast, if it can not be called a fast, on Decoration Dav, The anniversary of the, battleof Bunker Hill has sometimes a good send off in New England and sometimes not seldom anywhere else; and in truth wo He back and reserve all our strength for the fourth of July, aud now we cel ebrate that and now we don't. And when we do celebrate, we have not much idea of doing so other than with cannons and with flags, fire-crackers aud torpedoes, by day, aud the blue- lights and their kind by night music flowers, and the gentler arts seeming to us 01 insuiucient import to turn to ex terior uso. t . . . It is rather a pity that we rest so" con tentedly, as a people, with so- few op portunities of general merrv-making 1 ' - ' If T . . . una neqiiaiDmncesnip. 11 would not bo amiss, at all events, if in the . sweet spring and early summer season we made the most of the chance that comes to us in pleasant weather and turned it to account in general social ways. If the 19th of April, that initial day of our Independence of Kings and Crowns, can not be made of much practical out-door use on accgunt of the inclemency of that part ot the year, yet the 17th of June, when we first discovered that farmers with their rusty weapons could hold the trained regulars of the King in check. can not claim any such immunity, for winus are soit and skies are blue and roses are in blossom then, and all things invite to jov and its expression. Yet however it be with those days, the heart that does not beat more quickly on the Fourth of July, and does not wish to celebrate it even when it is impossible to uo so, it by no more than doing rev erence to the flag, ought to beat in some more ignoble bosom than an Amer ican a.
