-Martha Warren
“ Good»bye, Martha. God help you I
I shall be back in three days at the
farthest.."
The hardy White Mountain pioneer,
Mark Warren, kissed blB young wife,
held his two year old boy to his breast
for a moment, and then shouldering the
tack of corn that was to be converted
Into meal at the rude mill, forty miles
away, trudged on through the wilder
heM.
Martha Warren stood at the door of
the cottage, gazing out after the retreat
ing form of her husband. An angle in
the dense Bhrubbery hid him from her
view, but still she did not return to the
solitary kitchen, it looked bo dark and
lonesome there, she shrank from enter
ing; or perhaps the grand sublimity of
the view spread out before her, held her
attention aud thrilled her soul yith
that nameless, unexpected something
that we all see when standing face to
face with the work of His fingers.
The tluest and most satisfactory view
of the White Mountains is that which
presents itself from what is cow the
town, of Bethlehem, on the road to
Littleton and Franconia. Mount Wash
ington, the Klug among'the princes, is
there seen in Its proper place—the centre
of the “rock ribbed" raDge, towering
bald, blue and unapproachable.
Far up in the wild clearing, close by
the turbid waters of the Ammonoosne,
was the cottage situated—a place .wild
aud mrie enough for the nest of an eagle,
but dear to the heart of Martha Warren
as the home where she had spent the
happy days of her young wifehood.—
When'she had turned from many a
partrieian suitor iu the fair old town of
Portsmouth, to join her fortunes with
those of the young settler, it was with
the full aud perfect understanding of
the trials that lay before her. tihe
would walk iu no path of roses for years
to come; much of life must be spent in
the eternal solitudes where silence was
broken only by the wild winds of the
forest, the shriek of the river over the
sharp rocks, or the dismal howl of the
red mouthed wolf afar in the wilderness.
The necessary absence of her hus
band she dreaded most. Itwassovery
gloomy to cloae up her lonely fireside
with the consciousness that there was
' no human being nearer than the settle
ment of Lord's Hill, ten miles away
through the pathless woods.
There was little to fear fromjtthe In
dians, although a few of the scattered
tribes yet roamed over these primeval
hunting grounds. They were mostly
disposed to be friendly, and Mrs. War
ren's kind heart naturally prompted her
to many acta of friendship toward them,
ami an Indian never forgets a kind
ness.
The purple mist cleared away from
the scarred forehead of the dominant
old mountain; the yellow sun peeped
over the rocky wall, and Martha turned
away to the performance of her simple
domestic duties. The day was a long
one, but it was towards evening, and
the gloaming comes much sooner iu
these solitudes than in auy other place.
The sunlight faded out of the unglazed
windows, though it would illumine the
distant mountains for some time yet;
aud Martha went out in thescanty gar
den to inhale -the odor of the Bweet
pinks on the meagre root she had
brought from her old home.
The spicy perfume carried her back
in memory to those days away in the
past, sneut with kind friends, and cheer
ed wltn brightyounghopeß. Butthough
the thought of home aud kindred made
her sad, not for a.moment did she re
pent tiie fate she had chosen. Absorbed
in thought, she hdd not noticed the ab
sence of Charlie, her little boy ; now she
saw with vaguo uneasiness that he had
left the lied of peppermint where he had
been playing, ami was not to be seen.
She called lus name, but only echo and
tiie swollen river replied. Shu Hew
back to the house, the faint hope re
maining that hb might have returned
thither for his pet kitten; but no, tiie
kitten was mewing at the window, but
no signs of Charlie.
With frantic haste she searched tiie
cleariug, but without success. Her
next thought was the river! Black as
the night, save where it was flecked
with spots of white foam—it flowed on
but a few yards before her. Hhe hurri-
ed down the bank, calling, “Charlie,
Charlie."
The child’s voice at some little dis
tance replied. .She followed the sound,
and to her sorrow saw the boy—his
golden hair and rosy faceclearly defined
against the purple twilight sky—stand
ing on the very edge of the huge, de
tached rock, some ten feet from the
shore, out in the sweeping current of the
liver!
This rock, culled by thesettlers “The
Pulpit," was a gpod situation for cast
ing lishinglines, and Mark Warren had
bridged the narrow chasm between it
and the shore with a couple of hewn
logs.
Allured by some clusters of flaming
tire weed growing on the side of the
Pulpit, (‘iiariie hud passed over, and
now stood there, regardless of duuger,
laughingly lmldiug out the floral treas
ure to his mother. Martha flew over
the frail bridge, aud the next moment
held her child iu her arms. Joyful be
cause she had found him uninjured, aud
montally resolving that the logs should
lie removed to prevent further accident,
she turned to retrace her steps, but the
sight that met her eyes froze her with
horror to the snot.
Confronting heron the bridge, not six
feet distant was an enormous wolf,
gaunt and bony with hunger, his eyes
blazing like live coals through the mist
and gloom, his hot fervid breath scorch
ing the very air she breathed.
A low growl of intense satisfaction
stirred the air, answered by tiie growl
of at least fifty more of liis.kind belong
ing to the pack; iu another moment
they would he upon her!
Without an instant’s thought of the
consequence. Martha obeyed her first
impulse, ami struck the logs with her
oot, exercising all her mad strength in
the blow. The frail fabric tottered, the
soft earth gave way, there was a breath
of wild suspense, and then it went down
with a dull plunge into the waterß be
neath. Tiie sharp clawu of the wolf had
already been fixed on the scant vegeta
tion ot the rock, and he held there a
moment struggling with ferocious
strength to gain a foot hold, the next he
slid down into the chasm, uttering a
wild howl of disappointed rage.
Martha sunk upon her knees ami
offered up a fervid prayer of thanks
giving for her escape; but simultane
ously with the heartfelt “Amen,” there
cumr a dreadful recollection. The
bridge formed the only link between
the pulpit and the main land, and that
was severed. True she was not more
thau twenty feet distant from the shore
of the river, but she might as well have
been thousands of miles nut in the
ocean. The water was deep, and It ran
with almost inconceivable rapidity,
forty or fifty feet below her, over rocks
so sharp and jagged that it made her
shiver to look over the brink.
Her only hope was in her husband.
Should he return at the expected time,
they might still bo alive ; hut if by any
accident he.should be detained beyond
the time ! She closed her eyes, and be
sought God for protection ami help.
Cold, hungry and drenched by the
mist ot the rivers, Charlie began to cry
for home. She could hear anything
better thau that . She look off her own
garments to fold around him, and held
him to her breast, and sang him the
cradle songs which had so ofteu soothed
him.
.But the iierce howls of the wolves,
sullen thunders of the river,
filling his little heart with terror, all
the long dark night through he cJung
to her neck sleepless, crying to go home
to papa.
Day dawned at last, the pale sun
swimming through the sky, the pallid
forecast of a storm. Weak and faiut
from cold—for summer is no hearer of
tropical smiles in this inhospitable
clime—Martha paced back and forth the
narrow limits of the rock. Noon came
—the faint sun declined—it was night
again. A cold fog sank down over the
mountain, followed by a drizzling rain,
which before morning changed into a
perfect deluge. The river rose fearfully
foaming milk white down the gorge’
filling the air with ti'shuddering roar}
liko the peal of an imprisoned earth
quake.
The day that followed was no better
only rain and ashen-white mist—not a
ray of sunshine,
• A new fear arose in the heart of Mar
tha Warren. The turbulence of the
stream must have swept away the
bridge over which her husband would
orosß on his return, and he would be de
taUled™"for da y B * may be for weeks.
one gave up all for lost. Stiongly and
fearfully was she tempted to fold her
child in her arms and plunge into the
cauldron beneath, and thus end her fear
and doubt! It would be better she
thought than to suffer that slow and
painful death of starvation ! But some
thing held her back-God's furse wa 9
on those who do self-murder.
Towards night a lost robin, beaten
about by the storm, stopped to rest a
moment on a rock,. Martha seized him
and rent twain, with almost
savage glee, for her to devour raw—she
who two days before would have wept
«t the Bight of a wounded sparrow.
Another night and day, like the

other only more intensely agonizing.
Martha warren was suddenly indiffer
ent now; suffering had palsied every
noble feeling. Charlie moaned forsup
per—too weak and spent to sit up he
was lying on the rook, his head in her
lap, his great eye fixed on her face.
she tore open a vein in her arm with
her scissors, and made him drink the
blood. Anything she said to calm the
wild, wistful yearnings of his eyes.
The boy rose; he sat and peered
through the darkness.
“ Mamma," said he “ papa Is coming,
I felt him touch me."
She wept at the mockery, and drew
the child frantically to hertbosom.
The night was fair—lit up by the new
moon.
Overoome by a deadly exhaustion,
against which she made no resistance,
Martha fell into an easy Blumber, which
toward midnight was broke by a start
ling cry. She sprang to her feet and
gazed around her.
No! her eyes did not deceive her —
thereon the shore stood the stalwart
form of her husband and he was calling
her name with the energy of despair.—
She could only cry out, 44 O, Mark Mark!
and fell senseless on a rock.
When she awoke to consciousness,
she was lying on her bed in the cottage
supported by her husband’s arms.
It was no dream ; she and her darling
boy were not dead; and he had come
back.
Many weeks passed before she grew
strong again, but Mark tended her as
a mother would an infant, and by the
time the autumn frosts fell, she was the
blithe Martha Warren of old.
At the time of the freshet the bridge
over the Ammonoosue bad indeed been
washed away, but Mark, impelled by an
uncontrollable fear —almost a presenti
ment-bad crossed the river, at the risk
of his life, on a log raft, and reached
home only to find it vacant.
The descendants of Mark Warren and
his wife still dwell among the fertile
valleys of the Ammonoosue, and the old
men still tell their grandchildren the
story of Martha Warren and her child.

SPEECH OF HON. WILLIAM A. WALLACE,
In ttie Nenaio of Pennsylvania,
March 23th, 1807, upon the Appropln
lion Dill.
The Senate being in Committee of the Whole
upon the Appropriation Bill, and the
Question being on the Salaries of the State
Treasurer and. Heads of Departments ,
Mr. Wallace said:
Mr. -Chairman, I have given some ex
amination to, and prepared some figures
upon this question, as well as upon the
other prominent items of extravagant ex
penditure of the State government, and I
may as well occupy the attention of the
Senate now upon them, as at any other
time.
in my opinion, a reduction of the current
expenses of the Stale government is im
peratively demanded, and as in order to do
so, we must commence somewhere. I re
gard this as good a point as any other.
I take lip the Auditor General aud Stale
Treasurer’s reports for 1858, 1859 and 1850,
the three years preceding the war, and con
trast the expenditures of the several depurt
ments as there showm, with the expenses of
the departments in 1860, 1867 and 186 S, the
three years since the wur.
The following exhibit shows the contrast
in the State Department.

I now come to ihe subject of the specific
amendment offered to this section.
The State Treasurer, instead of needing
an increase of salary, should be required to
account for his ill-gotten gains. He has
held the best office in the Stale. The
use ofuhe funds of the Treasury bus grown
to be an abuse, and common fume tells us
that large sums change hands iu securing
tbe place anu the perquisites of this poorly
salaried office. J
Jn the light of that common fame as to
the use oi the moneys of the State, let us
look at i he facts shown by the report lor the
past two years:
By the report of the State Treasurer
for the year ending December Ist, 1867, it
is demonstrated that the wortny gen
tleman who occupied the place had in his
hands, during all of that year , an average
monthly balance of $3,582,214. With the
natural capacity of a smart financier it is
reasonable to suppose that at least one-half
of tbiß could be made to pay , Mod if it was
at the moderate rate of six per cent., the
net profits for that year would be about
$107,000. But six per cgrt. would not satisfy
one who could os reaOny command ten
and it is fair to presume that that year
netted to the incumbent of the Treasury at
least $175,000. This, - too, upon one-half of
the actual average balance, whilst the re
maining half could be conveniently left on
depositwlth favorite banks, or banks con-
trolled by men who helped to elect the
Treasurer.
Last year was not so lucrative In its pick*
Ings. for by the report laid upon our aesksr
for the year ending December Ist, 1868, It is
found that the average monthly balance in
the bands of the State Treasurer was only
12,307,000. Applying the same rate of cal*
eolation to this, we find that one-half there
of, at six per cent., yields a nett revenue of
about $69,000. whilst at ten per ctat. it will
only yield $116,350.
These things and their financial details
are well understood by tbe politicians who
seek and enjoy this office, and it is time a
remedy was applied to stop the two evils
consequent upon the present system ; the
one—the loss to the State and gain to her
officers from a contra 1 ind source; the
other—the inevitable corruption consequent
upon a scramble for so lucrative a place.
I now propose to examine a subject di
rectly connected with the pickings of the
Treasury and affecting the public debt and
the yearly expenditures of the govern
ment, I mean, sir, the subject of the loan
of 1867 to fund the debt of the Common
wealth. That loan originatedjn the Treas
ury. It was proposed under the specious
pretext of JiftiDg our overdue debt and of
fixing it so as to meet it at maturity. Tbe
act for that purpose was approved February
2,1867. ana it increased the rate of interest
upon the whole of our debt from five to sveper
cent. Let us look at it in its practical re
sults and as bearing upon the finances of
the Commonwealth and the interest she
must pay and tbe loss she has already sus
tained :
On tho Ist of December, lEfifl, our
whole debt was .$35,622,052
Upon this au annual Interest was
payable of. ..
On the Jstof December, l&w.our whole
debt was 33.286,910
Upon this an annual Interest was
payable of _ 1,931,199
Thus showing that under this arrange*
ment, after we have paid §2,335,100 of the
State debt, the State is compelled to pay
$94,063 more interest than she did the year
before its passage, which is equal to an in
crease in the debt of nearly two millions.
In the year ending December Ist, 1860,
being the year preceding the change of the
law, the amount of interest actually paid
upon the debt was $1,892,105. In 18137, the
year alter the cbaDge, the whole amount
of interests paid was $2,257,033. In 1808, the
whole amount of interest paid wa9 $1,979,-
090, making a total of interest paid in 1807
and 1808 ol $452,513 7nore than wevtould have
had to pay if the law had not been changed
assuming that wepaid no debt in either year.
We have already seen that we paid in
those yours $2,335,100 of public debt. If
one-half of this was paid in 1807 and the re-
in 1803, the Interest thereon is
equal to $175,050, which is to be ndded to
the former sum. a
To tliese items is to be added the cost of
placing the new loan, viz :
Kundry Expanses ol Htate Treasurer.... $ 2,700
Engraving and priming bonds 2^912
Paid Farmers' and Mechanics' bank for

In l&M.
Interest cm debt paid In those years
lost lo the Htale at live per cent 175,050
Total cash paid by State by reason
of new loan 5717,169
To this sum total of cash paid is to be
added The annual increase ofinterest of one
per cent., and the amount thereof may be
estimated by remembering that for this year
it will amount to more than three hundred
and thirty thousaad dollars.
It will be seen from these figures that the
State hus beeu made to pay pretty largely,
in order to have in the bands of her Treas
urer for IS(>7 au average monthly balance of
$3,582,214, mid in those of the Treasurer for
lbiiS, $2,307,000. Over $71,000 were paid for
advertising this pan as I havealreudy said,
and tbosimis paid and papers employed are
given in the following statement.

I now address myself to an examination
of the debt us it stood ia iB6O, and as it stands
now ; to the amounts received in the treas
ury duriug the years since, and to the ex
penses of the government for thosame time.
Our investigation into the subject of our
liabilities then aud now; of our expendi
tures in the process of time, and of the total
assets received, will show us whither we
are tending and the necessity for stopping
the leuks.
The official statement shows the debt now
to be §33,28(5,94G, On the Ist of December,
18G0, it was §37,9G7,847, showing a decroase
ot $4,070,901 iu nine years. Now let us see
what money has goue into the Treasury
daring those years, and how the expenses
have increased year by year. This state
mont shows the whole debt, commencing
Dec. Ist IbGU. and ending Dec. ISGS.

lic debt which the Senator has given for
1861, include the three million war loan ?
Mr. Wallace. No sir. It did not come
into the report of the debt until 1861, and I
Rave the amount of the debt on Dec. Ist
1860.
Mr. Errett. The Senator takes the state
ment of the debt before the war loan was
concluded, leaving out r.f the calculation
the war Joan which was added to tbe debt
in 1860.
Mr. Wallace. No, it was added in IS6L.
I will treat this subject fairly. It will not
answer my purpose to treat it unfairly, and
therefore I have prepared this statement
which I think the Senator will admit shows
the facts as they exist, and fully accouuts
for the military loan he speaks of.

them as follows :

“ “ 1359, “ ... 408,1.97
" “ 1860, . *• ... 491,803
Now Senators, it is to the last three years,
1866, 1567 and 1868, I specially desire to call
attention ; these expenses have increased
enormously and are increasing. All ad
mit that during the war these expenses
would necessarily increuae, but can there be
any reason why they should be nearly fifty
per cent, greater now, when gold is 135,
than they were in 1864, when it was over
200. This is one of tho leading facts to
which I have desired to call the attention of
Senators. These expenses are greater for
the past three years than they were duriug
three years of the war, and they increase
from year to year continually. They are
greater in 1868 thau they were in 1867,
greater in 1567 than they were in 1860, and
greater in 1806 than they were in 1865. This
is a startling truth, and to its reform it is
our imperative duty to address ourselves,
not as partisans, but as the guardians of the
interests of the State. Can there be any
reason for it, save the truth of the assertion
that men who once obtain power will not
relinquish it? Democrats as well as Re
publicans seek for power, and will main
tain it when possessed of it. I recognize
the difficulty that surrounds the dominant
party in effecting this retrenchment, but
the responsibility is upon them and to this
they must devote themselves, and in every
legitimate effort in that direction they shall
have my aid and my vote* This Is an
enormous excrescence and It should be re
moyed. There is no reason why the ex*
penses of 1668 should be $445,651 more than
in 1858. It Is an Increase of more the" 110
per cent
Oar Legislative expenses have more than
doubled since 1860. The expenses of the
Senate exclusive of the pay of Senators and
Committees In .the last year were $60,500,
whilst In 1800 thsy were $25,983, showing an
increase of more than 133 per cent or
$34,517.
The expenses of the House exclusive of
(he pay of Members and Committees last
year were $126,004, whilst In 1880 they were
$44,706, showing an increase of more than
280 per cent or $70,689. The aggregate in
crease upon these two items alone, is $115,-
816.
These expenses have grown to be fright
ful, and I have carefally itemised the whole
subject as found in the Treasurer’s report
since 1658. It shows the following state of
facts:

By this it is seen that the total number of
officers of the Senate have doubled, and
that their cost to the State is five fold what
it was in 1858.
The House is much worse:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
From this it ia seen that the total number
of officers have nearly quadrupled, and the
coat thereof to the state has increased more
than six times in ten years. In 1858.1859
and 1860 these officers cost the State $75,301
whilst in 1806, 1807 and |IB6S they cost it
$204,112, showing a total increase to the peo
ple of $218,511. Here we find an alarming
increase since the war. In the last year of
the war, thirty-seven employees were
enough for the House, whilst in 1868 it re
quired ninety-two to serve them.
These facts are deduced from the Record,
and I lay them bare that we may apply the
necessary remedy and lop off the extrava
§ance. These current expenses can be re*
uced, and it only requires a face of fliut
by the party m power against these in
creases and they will be reduced.
An inquiry into the subject of the cost of
the public printingdevelopes a frightful in
crease iu its proportions:

The cost of this item to the State in ISOS
is nearly 450 per cent, more than it was in
1860, and its aggregate increase is $104,327.
Here, too, we find a rapid increase since
the years of the w*ai.

To meet these constantly increasing ex
penses, it has been heretofore found neces
sary to attempt to d i vert the resources which
now go into the Sinking Fund from the
payment of the public debt, and apply a
portion of them to the payment ef current
expenses. I combatted this proposition in
two past sessions with success, and I am
glad to know that the Finance Committee
have concluded that it is not necessary to
attempt at this session, to take any of these
funds from thepurpose to which they have
been expressly pledged. The revenues of
the Commonwealth that flow into your
hands with such an unceasing stream, are
given to us in trust to devote them to the
relief of the people from their indebtedness.
Whilst it is true that no direct tax is placed
upon their real estate to meet these enor
mous outlays, it is also true that every in
dustrial and manufacturing interest iu the
State complains of the oppressive taxation
we are compelled to impose. This interest
ought to be the pride of the Commonwealth
and we should foster it by every means in
our power consistent with our duty to the
people. Our real position is in the van of
the manufacturing States of the Union, and
to attain it, we must relieve these interests
from all the burdens we can. Before we
can relieve them, we must pay the debt of
the Commonwealth. We can only pay that
debt by guarding our assets with jealous
core, by applying the pruning knife to the
enormous abuses that have imperceptibly
crept upou us. and by devotingeyery avail
able dollar to its reduction. When this shall
have been accomplished, the coffers of the
State will be filled by a steady stream of
revenue, yielded by us manifold soirees
with ease aud comfort, HTid not as now,
with exhaustation or compulsion. It will
then be in our power to aid, with freehand,
in the developement of the wonderful re
sources of our great Commonwealth; to
assist, with munificent gifts, the education
and intellectual advancement of our people
and to eDdow with liberally the charities
of the State.

That State is best governed which is least
governed. Local selfrule is the very es
sence of freedom. It can best be attained
by the machinery of the State being so ar
ranged us to dispense with the necessity
for its rule being felt. That cannot be
done when a large debt exists, and the
necesiity for its paymeut and forproviding
for meeting its interest is continually pres
ent. To bo enabled to govern with bene
iicient rule, we must pay our debt. We can
only do so by economizing our resources
und by retrenching our expenditures. The
State is not created for the sole purpose of
finding places for partisans either of the one
political party or the other; its true mis
sion is a far higher and more ennobling
one.
To that mission it Bhould be our constant
aim to turn its course, and oue of the first
steps in that direction is to concentrate our
efforts to slop the shameful increase of our
expenditures as shown by the accounts of
the last three years.
The Homicide In Harford County, Mary
The following additional particulars of
this case we lind in the Baltimore Sun :
: The wrong had been done under promise
l of marriage, and in January last a child
was born, which is living at the present
. time. Miss Cairns frequently importuned
j McComas to fulfill bis promise of marrying
, her, but by equivocations aDd excuses he
; evaded her requests until she felt towards
him a feeling of utter hatred and determined
, to avenge her injuries. On Saturday eve
; ning he had ridden into Jarrettsville for the
[ purpose of attending a muster of a militia
. company, of which he was a member, and
, at the time of the affair was in the yard of
, the tavern. Miss Cairns had proceeded to
Jarrettsville, and on arriving at the tavern
dismounted from her horse, fastened him
securely, and passing into the parlor re
moved her riding skirt, hat and other arti
cles that might retard her movements.
Leaving the apartmeut with a Colt's re- i
volver in baud, she walked through the !
i bar-room, which was full of men, aud I
: stepped out upon a back porch, which over
' looked the yard where McComas was. Here
! she took deliberate aim at him and fired,
he being some ten paces irom her. The
bullet struck him in the breast, and as he
reeled toward the pillars of the porch she
fired two more shots, neither of which took
effect. He clasped the pillars and endeav
ored to*sustain himself, but weakened by
the rapid tiow of blood, his strength failed,
and he fell to the ground. Miss Cairns
walked directly up to him, and standing
over him. fired the two last shots from her
revolver into his body—one lodging in bis
right leg and the other in the groin. Still
carrying her revolver in her baud, she
passed back through the crowd, who did
not move a finger to bar her passage. Along
the porch, through the bar-room, and back
to the parlor she walked without showing
a trace of emotion or nervousness.
In the dressing room she resumed her
riding habit, and again mounting her horse,
galloped back towards her home, and had
gone a considerable distance from the vil
lage before any one thought of following
her. Mr. Jarrett rode after her, and joining
her about a mile from Jarrettsville, she
asked him if McComas was dead. He
replied yes, when she said : “I told him
what I was goiDg to do.” She exhibited no
signs of regret, and was apparently as com
posed as if she had just finished the most
ordinary action. On Sunday she rode to
Bel-Air and gave herself uu to the authori
ties. Miss Cairns is about thirty; and Mc-
Comas was thirty-seven years of age. Both i
the parties belonged to respectable families, '
and held a foremost position in the social
life of the county. McComas is supposed to •
have been killed by the first shot, and the
last two shots were probably fired into his
dead body. Some time since Miss Cairns/ i
brought suit against McComas for breach oi
promise and seduction, but the case has no
yet come to trial. The affair has, as a mat
ter of course, created considerable excite- •
ment in the neighborhood in which it oc J
curred.

What a curious book might be written on
the history of suicides! The ingenuity of
distorted minds in discovering strange
modes of death seems inexhaustible. An
English carpenter a few years ago turned
his mechanical skill to account in construct
ing a guillotine for his own decapitation.
A New York merchant very recently
hanged himself, and after patting on the
noose adopted a most ingenious way of
tying his hands between his legs, so that he
could not release himself should his heart
fail him at the last moment. Religious
mania has been known to drive men to
self-crucifixion. The mosthonible case of
suicide, however, that we remember oc
curred a few days ago in London, whe’re a
man emptied a can of paraffine oil over his
person and then set himself on fire. This
we believe, is as far as anybody has vet
gone.—iV. Y. Tribune, J

Strange Suicides.
An Irregular apprentice frequently
keeping late hours, nia master at length
took occasion to apply some weighty
arguments to convince Him of the “error
: ofnisways*” During the chastisement,
the master exclaimed—
“ How long will you serve the devil?”
The boy replied, whimpering —
“ You know best, sir—l believe mv
indentures will be out In threemonths."
A lawyer waa once pleading a case
that broaght tears into the juror’s eyes,
and every one gave up the case as gone
for the plaintiff. But the opposing
counsel arose and said: “ May U please
the the Court, I do not propose in this
case to bore for water , but—” Here the
tears were suddenly dried, laughter en
sused, the ridiculousness of the case
was exposed, and the defendant got
