A Promise

A promise should be given with caution, and kept with care. A promise should be made with the heart, and remembered by the head. A promise isthe offspring of the ia- tention, and should be nurtured by recollec- | tion. A promise and its performance should, like a true balance, always present a mutual adjustment. A promise delayed is justice | deferred. A promise neglected is an untruth told. A promise attended to is a debt settled.

A promise! It is easy made,

And yet how few who make it know, lt isa law to be obeyed,

Not unfulfilled, to be let go.

True promises with caution start, And uttered, should be kept with care, | In justice to some faithful heart ; Unsullied in the brain, while there.

i They are the offspring of intent, Which memory should fasten well, Not as a fleeting sentiment | But something we sre proud to tell, CammMIE, A Beautiful Woman’s Misfortune. | KEPT IN AN ASYLUM NEARLY YEARS FOR EXTRAVAGANCE AND | ECCENTRICITY. Miss Adrianna Physick Brinkle has | just been released from the State Luaa- | v« . . i tic Asylum, Philadelpbia, where

highest circles ot society in Philadel- phia thirty years ago. Miss Brinkle

was an acknowledged belle, a woman of great beauty and accomplishments and a general favorite.

She was extremely extravagant, but an unfortunate change in the fioancial standing of her father made it impos- sible for him so pay her bills, as he had always done before. Adrianna was un- able to overcome her extravagant tastes, and, without knowing anything of the law in such cases,ordered a piano and a suit of furniture, which she sold before paying forthem. This proceed- ing scandalized theset to which the Brinkles belonged, and, as it was stated at the time, to “save the family honor,” Miss Brinkle was sent to the asylum, entering the institution in July, 1858. When the twelfth national conference of Charities and Correction met in Washington last June, one of the dele- gates made the following statement :—

“A beautiful and charming young lady, just out of her teens, used to weulth, is extravagant ; and her father, reduced in circumstances, finds himself unable to restrain her habit ofjspending concludes she requires custodial care, places her ia a hospital, heedless of her earnest protests ; he dies and leaves her there ; there she bas been nearly thirty years, and is now nearly sixty years of age, and still begging to be released ; but the custodian still thinks she needs custodial care, and she remains to this day under restraint of her personal liberty.”

This led to an investigation and Miss Brinkle was visited at the State Lunatic Asylum at Harrisburg, and a committee reported that there was no evidence of insanity in her case. But stillno release came, and the unfor- tupate woman almost abandoned hope, and the conviction forced itself upon her that she would be left to die in§the asylum which had sheltered her for twenty-seven years. When the repre- sentatives of the State Committee on Lunacy visited her, however, she began to hope again, and her dreams of liberty were realized when the order came from the committee and she was scent out a free woman.

Upon her arrival io Philadelphia she was taken to the Convalescents’ Retreat, near ‘Glen Mills, Delaware county, where she was tenderly cared for. Miss Brinkle is now a gray-haired woman of sixty, in the full possession of all her faculties,and in good bodily health. She will remain at the Convalescents’ Retreat for the present, but will probably go to New York next winter and spend her declining years beneath the hospitable roof of a friend who,was loyal to her during her imprisonment, and who never relaxed her efforts to secure her rel euse.

A Curious Collection

The National Museum at Washington contains on exhibition a collection illus- trating the foods of our native races of red-skins. More than 500 varieties are represented, brought together main- ly by Major J. W. Powell and his sub- ordinates in the Bureau of Ethnology. These includes pommican,a jerked flesh of several sorts, dried fish, molluska, barnacler, and sea urchins; half a dozen edible insects; grass seeds of many kinds , acorns and acorn flour : seeds of the mezqult, screw beans, and a large diversity of nuts and_ berries; dried fruit and cereals; kamass and other roots and tubers out of which “bread” is made, with specimens of “tuckaho” and other cakes; the many food products of the yucea and other agaves, and the alcoholic drink pulque made from it, besides many other savage cemesti bles,
