DEATH BY MUSIC. During a short residence in Ohio and probably five or six years ago, I rode with a friend from tnv own residence to a town distant a few miles, and distinguished above the rest of the towns in that vicinity bv the possession of a Medical College of considerable notoriety. The opening lecture of the winter course in this institution was to be delivered that afternoon, and it was for the pur pose of attending this that my friend and myself had gone thither. Upon reaching the church, where the exercises were to take place, we were shown into a pew in which one other person had seated himseif, and, naturally enough, I surveyed him somewhat closely. The result was that 1 determined him to be an Irish gentleman, and ev idently in feeble health The services com menced with singing by a very superior choir, during which [ was attracted by the enthusiasm manifested bv mv Irish friend —he seemed de •/ J lighted with the music, and I could discover upon his pale cheek a flush of gratification which told its own storv. A prayer was then offered—after which the choir performed, in a manner 1 never heard excelled, that touchingly beautiful song, “My Native I jaml.” My attention, deeply en grossed in the anthem, was arrested by a gurgling sound from the corner occupied by the gentleman before mentioned ; and my feelings cannot he pic tured by words when 1 saw a stream of blood pouring from his mouth. The rapidity with which his countenance changed from a Hush to an al most ghostly palor, was to me most astonishing ; more like the flight of a momentary shadow upon the plain, when the sun, which has been for an in stant beneath a cloud, again shoots forth with in creased power, than any thing else I am able to imagine. As quickly as possible we hurried him from the church into the open air, but ere we reached the door his spirit had departed —borne upon a breath of music in a sweeter melody on high! How strangely delightful thus to depart to heaven ! Upon enquiry I learned that he had been for some time the victim of consumption, and more than once had seemed to be just passing away. — For a few da3 r s, however, had seemed to he much better: and yielding to the flatteries of his disease, the most deceitful its kind,he had con sidered himself able to attend to the exercises ol that afternoon, which he was very anxious to do. The fatigue, consequent upon such an exertion, had, no doubt, nearly overpowered him, so that only a slight blow was necessary to shiver the golden bowl of existence —and when that sweet song was borne to his ear, reminding him of his own dear land, which he never again might be hold, the shock was too much for his endurance— a blood-vessel was ruptured, and he died ! I should not, of course, presume to make this last statement upon my own responsibility alone. I give it as ihe general opinion of the medical men (and they were many) who were present at the time—and to whom I should be happy to re fer any modern Thomas who may be disposed to question the veracity of my statement. The subject of this incident now sleeps near the sanctuary where his spirit was released; but who shall tell how tranquil is his repose, or picture the rapture of his flight as upon the wings of music lie soars from earth and its disquietudes, to Para dise and its eternal joys! —City Item, Lovn in Boyhood and Manhood . —The love of a boy differs from that of a man in this—it is the wanton enjoyment of a present imperious feeing, from which all serious consideration of the future is excluded. It is mere blind activity of newly awakened emotions. Hence the rashness of ear ly loves. The hoy wants to love—almost any woman will suffice. Hence he is violent, capri cious, inconstant, because he only seeks an excite ment; be tries his young wings. The tender feel ing of protection, which enters so laagely into the love of a man—the serious thoughts of the duties he owes to the girl who gives up her life to him, and to the children she may bear him—these, and the thousand minute but powerful influences which affect the man, are unknown to the boy. Ix Search of a Wife. —The Low II Journal says: “ Two or three years since a young mer chant in the western part of New York, having formed a high opinion of the Lowell operatives, from the contributions of some of them to the Of fering, came on to the city in search of a wife.— As his purpose was made known to the girls at several places which he visited, or for some other reason, he was not very successful in the object of bis mission, and was compelled to return home without a lady love. It happened, however, not long since, that one of the young girls remarked that‘she wished she bad known the object of so fine a gentleman's visit —that she would have had him.’ Another immediately made known this declaration to the gentleman ; and to come to the point at once, he came on last week, took the young girl to Rhode Island, or Connecticut, and married her. having seen her but once before. They are very happy in each other’s society, and we hope will long enjoy the bliss of wedded life. The editor of the Offering frequently has appli cations for wives from persons at a distance, but we believe she invariably writes them to come and make their own selections.” The observations ot some men are like the sift ing of bakers, that retain the bran, and let the flour pass through.— Butler's “ Thoughts ” SNIDER, LATHROP & NEVITT.
