Suicide to Forestall Starvation - Last week, a worthy and industrious German, who had served faithfully for over two years of war between the States in the Seventh Regi ment of New York volunteers, drowned himself in the Schuylkill, and his wife administered chloroform to herself and her two little chil dren. Cause poverty, impending starvation and no gleam of hope in the future. The poor old man had made repeated trials to obtain work, so had his sickly wife. Their minds and bodies were weakened by cruel anxiety and insufficient food. The man made repeated ap plications for assistance but none came. Mor bid feeling began its work in the weakened brain, and suicide seemed the only way to solve the problem of increasing misery. The dis tracted father of this suffering family wrote to his pastor—a letter that with all its awkward foreign diction is so full of painful pathos that it makes the heart ache. Reading its broken scarcely coherent sentences, one seems to see the anguished, distracted working of the man’s mind. It is as follows: ‘Dear Sir.—Will you be so kind, by reading this letter, to consider if it is in your power to do a distressed man’s last wish ? All I want you to do is to speak to my wife and children words of encouragement, %s I have to leave them in great distress on account of not being able to support them any longer. Oh! dear sir, I have done all I could to obtain work, but I could not. My neighbors won’t patronize me. I can’t keep my family up. My wife, too, is not able to get work, as she would lay her life down to help me to keep my spirits up, and the children, too, as they have not been brought up without feelings; for they will feel it hard to lose their father, for I know if you will talk to them, they must have faith in the Lord. Be kind to their mother, be kind to each other. They will do so. I know. I am tired, oh! so tired of life. Nothing but insults and disap pointments, and, to be short, I often have to hear people remark. If I tell my story, ‘I’m too stupid to live.' Oh what do they mean to call honesty stupidity? Yes, sir, honesty is what made me poor, and helping others to heap up riches. We have proof to show that we all were an industrious family; that we tried to get a little home for our old days, but real estate agents swindled us out of all our little savings and gave us worthless paper, and there they lay worth nothing. Yes;I was stupid. I did not understand the art of dealing. Oh! Mr. Johnson, I myself am just as worth less as these papers. I am getting old and times have so changed—all old fashions to work are thrown aside. If I attempt to try to get work in a factory they look at me and say they can not bother with old men to learn. I was for sixteen years a soldier; always ereot and indus trious in my duty; never any punishment; al ways sober. Oh! sir, I am now twelve years in business, all but these last four years prosper ous, but swept by heartless villains and deceiv ers into poverty, and, in these depressed times, left without anything, and striving to fight the battle of existence, and only for my age I would not give up, but worrying and fretting destroyed not alone my will but my senses too, so that often I do not know what to do. Oh sir! I must confess that by ooming to your church you did save my children’s lives; you spoke one evening of the flowers. Children should be like flowers; should grow beautiful. Oh! I want ed to stop their growth; wanted to take them along with me. I suppose if I leave they will be a great burden to their mother; a burden to everybody, a burden to themselves. But they are yonng, playful and thoughtless; soon will forget their father, and maybe they will meet with good Christian people, and soon for get their father’s name—a name not worth know ing. But. sir, on the day of resurrection, if we all be called—if all the good people will march to God’s Paradise—I will have to go with the bad ones; but I will suffer. It will be water to my tongue to see these pretenders and deceivers where they all may be called to suffer with me. But I cannot think that the Lord will condemn me forever, as I to my knowledge did all I could to be honest; was never proud, and in good cir cumstances gave with a free hand and heart where there was need to give; loved the church es and all Christian people. Oh, sir, I wish I understood this language better to explain my self better. I wish you could know me, I know you would pray for me—the Lord be merciful to me for coming to such an end. My father was twenty-five years in the army. He was bu ried with all the honors of a good soldier. I was sixteen years a soldier, and how will I be buried ? It is my fault certainly, for luck sent me by the Lord, I was not careful to make use of, but gave it to swindlers. But now the result. I am old and helpless, deranged in my mind and o&n’t bear it any longer. My wife only recov ering from sickness of eight years’ duration would relapse if some body would not speak en couraging words to her. The children would be left alone to the mercy of the world, and what would become of them ? Oh! it sets me mad, if I think of my situation. Oh! sir, I can write no more—my eyes are getting dim with tears. I wish good-bye, good-bye to all. Cii.uu.es Geist- lich, 1,337 South Tenth street, Philadelphia. * llapidly Gaining Wealth.—Honestly won pennies fall into the pocket slowly. Fortunes that spring up like Jack’s bean vine have either no foundation, or are built up by trickery and cheating. There is no rule more unexceptional than that if a man gets rich rapidly he does so to the detriment of some other person. Some indeed accumilate wealthy rap idly without incurring the charge of dishonesty; for the world judges very leniently of success ful efforts. But if their acts be subject to the test of Bible law they will be found violative of that sublime code. The merchant, by one venture, gains a profit of many thousand. No human law is outraged. But is not his gain another's loss, and has he not broken that Divine injunction which bids us have as tender a re gard for the interests of our neighbor as for our own ? Has he not. in making this lucky bar gain taken advantage of some one’s folly or misfortune? Ah! subjected to this test—and it is by this that we are to be finally judged—how few could come forth with the mark “honest” upon them ! ‘Women never invented anything’ cry the oposite sex, but now, since the death of Emma Bartlett the large saddle and bridle dealer of Warren St New York, some man is moved to acknowledge that she invented a longitud inally ridged head-stall. We have not a very clear idea as to what a longitudinally ridged head-stall may be, but are thankful for the concession that woman has invented something. Surprising as it may appear, there Beems a disposition among the Atlanta Constitution attaches to deal in hare facts, 'Old Si’ having of late pathetically depicted his own nnlaureled youth as trouserless' and the ‘Patohwork’ Edi tor figuring himself _or t hi8_ dappelganger as ‘Godiva’s Brother.’ , • Summer Resorts—For yeir-i past Marietta, Cartersville, Rome, Calhoun, Dalton, Tunnel Hill, Ringgold, Lookout Mountain, and Chat tanooga have been visited during the Summer by hundreds of people who live in warmer climates. This year extraordinary efforts are being made to increase the number of visitors. Large ad ditions have been made to the various hotels, and they will be able to accommodate a larger num ber this year than ever before. The different towns in the mountains of Tennessee and "S ir- ginia, on the Kennesaw Route, are also prepared to entertain visitors at low rates. The many Springs in Virginia are offering extra inducements this year. We have just received a ‘Guide Book to Health and Pleasure Resorts on the Kennesaw Route, furnishing a description of each city and town between Atlanta and Washington, also notices of each of the Springs, their water etc., etc. Each book is accompanied by a colored map of the United States, and also a map of the line be. tween Bristol and New York, showing location of Springs etc. A new feature contained in the book is a list of farmers who are willing to take boarders during the Summer months. This list gives post office address, distance from nearest (Continued from 1st page.) ‘Going away, Mr. Graham ?’ ‘Yes, to be a year absent from home.' She was silent a moment. When she spoke again there was a slight tremor in her voice. ‘Where do you design going, if I may ask?’ ‘I am undecided—perhaps to Europe. I am going to travel. I care little what becomes of me. I may never return.’ He was not looking at her; consequently he did not see that the color had all left her face, j She was beginning to read him; the truth was j beginning to dawn upon her—not the whole I truth, to be sure, but the mere fact that he was : in love. A sharp pang shot through her heart, j but with a determination to be brave she said in i a low tone: ‘I think I understand you. Let me be ycur j friend, please, and accept my heartfelt sympa- i thy—’ ‘I want no sympathy,’ he interrupted, almost ! sharply. ‘Why must I be pitied? It is that that is killing me !’ Georgia drew back with a weary sigh. In e tremulous, pleading, half-despairing voice, sh exclaimed: Mr. Graham, why do you dislike me ?’ He turned toward her suddenly: ‘Do you think that,’ he ejaculated, forgetting himself;‘do you think 1 dislike you? Do you fancy that such a thing ’were possible? Great Heaven ! I have dared more than that. I have dared to love you, George Stenroy—to adore you The Kennesaw Route to Old Lookout. Ye of the seaboard and lowland, Who’d tlee from the sultry heat, Don now your traveling dusters And seek a Summer retreat. Ho, for the mountain breezes! Be off with three cheers and a shout* Be off to the upland regions, Via the Kennesaw Route. Rely on my word, ye travelers.

And you. ye pleasure seekers, Whose aim is ‘lots of fun,' Don’t fail to look up B. W. Wrenn, And with him havea run. He'll take you whirling, whizzing on To rugged old Lookout.

The programme of the week’s exercises is an unusually attractive one, chief among the in teresting features being a Literary Address by Hon. Van Epps of this City—a fine orator and a finished scholar. The regular exercises will be varied by a brilliant musical entertainment and by tastefully gotten up exhibitions of a pictu resque and dramatic character. Many visitors are expected and President Hamilton invites his legions of friends to come and be entertained by the exercises of his school, enjoy the fine, cor dial society of Cuthbert, stroll over the College grounds he has so tastefully beautified, and see how he is trying to carry out his broad plan of a thorough culture of women—the edneation of brain and heart—of mind and manners.

Father Genin reports Sitting Ball’s message to the United States,—‘Tell them I am quiet and will not fight nnless I am compelled to. I only want one thing; I want to go back to my ow*» land (the Yellowstone), where I can get plenty to live on. I want none ol their goods or mon ey.’ —to worship the very ground you walk upon—I an awkward, unpolished, loHt, and you the queen of the fashionable world, whose smiles the wealthiest king on earth might be proud to win. I was mad enough to love you, but never enough to hope. That is why I am going away—to seek forgetfulness. Georgia had risen to her feet—had made a movement as if to flee, and then stopped and stared at him. Her face was ashen pale, her lips compressed, her eyes burning with a strange fire. Lawrence looked up, and saw how he had shocked her; then he hated himself for having told the secret which he had resolved to keep locked up in his own heart. ‘Forgive me—’ he began; but she commenc ed speaking at the same moment. ‘I—I—did not know that you—you loved me,’ she faltered. , ‘And I did not intend that you should find it out,’ almost groaned the man. ‘Forgive me ! forgive me ! I did not dare to hope—I was not mad enough for that.’ She threw herself on her knees at the bedside, and grasped his hand in both of hers. ‘There is nothing to forgive,’ she said, earn estly. ‘If you have never hoped, you may now !’ He looked at her in amazement. ‘Miss Stenroy !’ ‘Mr. Graham?’ ‘You do not mean—you cannot mean—’ ‘Yes, I do,’ she contradicted, in a choking voice; ‘I mean that I love you—that I have lov ed you for a long time. You are worth a thou sand such men as those high-bred votaries of lashion who have sued for my hand.’ ‘This is too good to be true,’ gasped Law rence, incredulously. I am mad—raving !’ Tt is true,’ said the girl, trembling with emo tion. ‘And—and—Mr. Harker !’ ‘I do not love him. I refused him yesterday, for the third time. I care for no one but you, Lawrence Graham, and I offer myself to you now. Will you take me?’ ‘Will I take you !’ be oried, huskily. ‘Oh God! I never expected'..such happiness as this.’ 11 His face, which was usu.-Jy so grave and sad, was illumined by an expression of ineffable joy, as he put his well arm around the unre sisting girl, and drew her down to kiss her. The mist had cleared away; they understood each other at last; the light had burst upon them like a revelation, and their happiness was too great to be expressed in words. It is needless to say that Lawrence Graham gave up his intention of going abroad. Father Genin says we mast let them have the country north of the Missonri or there will be war, the worst in the annals of our country. He was with the three hundred warriors who hunt ed buffalo last winter down in the vicinity of Fort Peck and startled General Miles so much. They had no hostile intent, but General Miles’ proposed pursuit would have been fatal to peace. He warns our troops againstomoving into .the Milk River country and following it to the line. Miles’ idea to that effect would be disastrous, and probably result in another Caster massacre. A hot day and a corpulent Ethiop are very muoh like the component parts of a sedlitz pow der.

Death of William Cullen Bryant One of the earliest literary lights of our New World has been extinguished. William Cullen Bryant is dead. He died on the 12th inst. at his residence in New York having never recov ered from his sudden seizure on the 30th of May at the unveiling of the statue of Mazzini in Central Park where he had.been one of the speakers, and had sat for a long time with head uncovered under the hot rays of the sun. He has lingered since then, the ‘wave of life just heaving to and fro,’ till at day-dawn on last Wednesday His quiet eye lids closed; he had Anouier mom than ours.’ He was nearly 83 years old; he had been writ ing for publication ever since he was fourteen, and had written no line, that ‘dying he could wish to blot.’ * DRAMATIC NOTES. ioing starring next Woffington next Miss Gabrielle Du Sauld is season.

In commoratioD of the marriage of her son, W. W.

A married lady, who was in the habit of spend ing most of her time in the society of her neigh bors, happened to be taken ill, and sent her hus band for a doctor, who ran a short distance and then returned, exclaiming, ‘My dear, where shall I find you when I come back. An old neighbor of President Lincoln, at Old Salem, thus describes his grief at the death of Miss Rutledge, whom he was engaged to marry: ‘Lincoln took it so much to heart that we thought he would go crazy. He wrote mourn ful verses from Burn’s poems with clalk on the fences, and hummed sad songs for a long while. Mary Todd was a nice girl, but she couldn't hold a candle to Ann Rutledge.’ Mrs. Fremont, wife of the General, who has just been appointed Governor of Arizona Terri tory, is described as having ‘what rarely falls to the lot of anyone—a beautiful youth, followed by a no less handsome middle age. Her hair is now as white as snow and very abundant, and her fresh complexion and animated play of fea tures eombine to make her a very distinguished looking woman'. Her conversational powers are unrivaled, no less for her ready flow of choice language than her selection of topics of interest. Eliza Maury, daughter of Captain M. F.
