A rural New Jersey member wlio liad aunounced in the house that the wants and sufferings of the insane of the state "were all htunbng," went to the parlor oí Dorothea Dix to silence her with his argunients, but was constrained by her gentle force to listen to hers. At the end of an hour and a half he moved int o the middle of the room and thus delivered hirnself: "Ma'ani, I bid yon goodnight. I do not want, for my part, to hear anything more; the others can stay if they wan't to; I am convinced; yon've' conquered me out and out; I shall vote for the hospital. If you'll come to the house and talk there as you've done here. no man that isn't a brute can stand you, and so, when a man's convinced, thafs enough. The Lord bless }-ou!"
