Grief, heartrending grief, was de ; pitted on the laces o( that bel 'ved [ group around his bed, and as the oid ’ veteran gazed upon them, and ns enn ciousness gradually faded from his mi. and, a sob escaped his mum uriog ! lips, and a teat drop gathered in bis parental eye. Si on (its vision became j entirely obscured. The agonies ol | duuth had taken possession of him he was delirious. In the awful so lemnity of the motnont, oblivious ol all around him, he looked up und or aered every window eh sed ‘hat the rain might not be blown in and deluge every thing. Then, altar a low mo ments of silence, still unconscious, he turned to someone near him and said: ‘‘You will see the Judge, about it; the case has not been decided prop erly. I nsk for nothing but justice; should I not have itPromised me to attend to this matter, since I vsnuot do it tny .elf.” Then his countenance changed from a look of appeal to oae ot stem command and deed de termination Another sudden revolu tion find taken place in his mind.— He iniagned that he stood upon the deck ol hi* gallant t hip on the high seas propaiing fur battle. His ian | guage c ear ly iudictted the great dan ger ottd importance of the occasion.— His commands Were quick, corapre- ■ bensive und positive. He conversed with his office's near him on the ap pearance ol the enemy, evidently pre paring lor a decisive conflict, yet con fidently awaiting the shock of battle aud elated with tile conviction ol vic tory. The charadeti.stic scene speed ily passed away, and a short period of return to consciousness lollowed, du ring which the bravo A .miral, thor oughly conscious that this, indeed, was his last battle, calmly bade fare wel. to each member ot his family.— Death did not close his eyes or etop Ins breath, however, ete he pronoun ced his confidence in God, und his hope and belief in salvation. \ l.llllt- Gi dV R-.nitt Wil Ik.

Ti ere is said to be a young man in the Missouri | enitentiary whose pi.ents, at their death, left him a for tune of $50,000. There is where l.is part tits made a fatal mistake. If they had taken the precaution to in vest that sQin in a small dog, and shot him, and then had simply left the young man a jack plnina or a wood saw, with piintod instructions how to use it, the chances are that, in stead of being in the penitentiary, he would to-day have been gradually hot surely wot king his way up *o a handsome competency and honottible old age. But ever einee the days ol Adam and Jtive, patents have made it a point u toil and struggle all their ives in order to realize a sufficient sum of money to pm chase, when they are dead and gone, their sons e<ch a first class through ticket to the devil, and it is not much to bo wondered at that so many of thoir soph, rented in vice and idleness, as too many of them often are, have no higher ambi tion than to invest thoir inheritance in just that sort of transputtation. I The Cuthhert Appea' has the follow ing account of a sad case of suicide: “Our community was shocked on Wednesday evening at the announce ment that Mr. L.

A correspondent recently wrote to the Brandon (Miss.) Republican to know the difference between a radical and independent. Here is the an swer: “A radical is a republican poli tician who is not ashamed of the name, and an indepedent is a republi can who is ashamed of the name, and who denies being a radical when talk ing to democrats, but admits it when talking to republicans. In other words an independent is a cross be tween a ini'an democrat and a mangy republican, who cannot bs trusted by either.” i—a ♦ - m> A boy of five years was playing rail toad with his sister of two and a half years.
