The Suicides Burial. iii.ACTUAL OCCURRENCE. ' On the night of the 31st December, 182— I made one *of a gay and animated party at the house of a friend in 'Castle street, St. --. Though in the invitation I had :received o nothing to that - effect had been in- Itimated, it was, I believe, the intention of -our' host, and the majority of his guests, to : 13id farewell to the Old, and welcome, the `New, Year, in this, festive-manner. For ;myself I had other'intentions ; and when prevailed Apon ,to attend the party, I did not fail to inform my friend that circum stances which,it were needless then to particularise, crendered it desirable 'I should withdraw some time before midnight. My reasons for this apparent singularity (as I Jearn , them from my: dialiy) .were as fol lows:---Firstly, I wished to hail itlie birth •61the Young Year in the silence,ond .pri ,Vacy of my ehamher; and, lastly, did not bare to infringe upon a long-established habit of , night-reading s -the — more so, as 4 had that day purchased at a book sale a Aurious old 'folio. copy of 'The Anstomie zkof then . knOwn to me hid/ by report, and',4hich I was thertfore I' Ten minutes to twelve,' exclaimed I, 4tisting my cloak "for departure, I 'looked at the dial in the' hall; 'let me walk 'ever an fas 4 I shall scarcely be -home in Asl'enteied upon the dark . street, and :the dotir,Oletting behind me, cut off a stream of light'; so brilliant 'as to nearly rival that.

Desirous of learning whose funeral' it was, and why took place at this unsea sonable hour, I . made my way through the crowd till X came to the body. Some slight injury had, befallen- the old parish bier whereon it rested, which 'Man was-repair ing; and by.the light field - for - that purpose, .I .obtained a 4111 vieiv of the coffin.

In lieu of a breast plate, the initial• letters of her name, with thOge of the deceased, were set in black nails, thus . . I soon learned that these were the re mains of Margaret Bourne, a young wo nian.Whos had poisoned herself in • conse quence of a disappointment in love, and that as a verdict of felo de. se had been re turned at the inquest ; she w as to be buried without passing bell,_ and denied the •cus temary rites of Christian sepulttire: • There were many women round the corpse. They were descanting in 'homely but eraphatie language upon the beauty, virtues, and' misfortunes of her who now lay "in cold obstruction" before them, a like insensible to their praise and pity. Much was . said in censure of one James Hughes, who had'deeeived her; of a cruel uncle who had first robbed, and then dis owned her ; ' , the. jury, who; they averred, should have. brought in a .verdiet of, insanity, which they did not .scruple to add would have been the case had the de ceased been of rich or powerful family. The bearers were preparing to resume their duty,.when a woman, after, gazing, a .brief .while .on, the : palless , coffin,.hastily took off and spread her clog careftilly l over it; a second woman, perceiving 'it was too short to answer the. intended purpose,fol lowetrthe example. of the first. did not seek to analyse the motive, whatever it might be, -which prompted these acts; it was sufficient . to observe it caught, on the part of thelait, by that fine drawn intuition of 'the feelings ,whieh. despises the aid ,of words.

She was the wife of .a retired tradesman, who had long been a local preacher among the Wesley ans. Beneficience, in every shape, was her distinguishing :characteristic: , her intel ligence and address would have put in the blush many, of far, more exalted' rank.- Having a family no longer, a large portion of her time was disinterestedly devoted to attendance on the sick poor, and the relief of,their mosCurgeni wants. The good she did in this way was incalcula - ble; and such h- tits. was ner discretion, that many wealthy, pioui people intruste ' her with the dispen sation of their alms.

But a with6ring blight was soon to come .over her dearest prospects. There are few that, in their passage through life, can fail to. have observed, without wonder, what trivial accidents form the hinges whereupon the impenetrable and resistless doors of human destiny inexora 'bly turn,. The simple accident of.a change' df -lodgings, on the part of Hughes, was, in ill probability, the remote cause of this fond girl's death; for by • such means he was.brOught into contact with at: artful and clever woman, who, though she bore by no means-a good Character., had, notwithatan& ing this disadvantage, ingenuity enough to estrange,him from Margaret Bourne, and (furthered 'in her schemes by the tempta tions of a legacy she had lately received)_ at last to secure him for herself., -- • From the day that Hughes deserted'her ' —not to say the day of his marriage—a pitiful - 0 - 54T was wrought in Margaret Bourne. • Her- looks-became haggard . and care worn, her cheeifulness utterly forsook her. She held communication with few, arid confined. herself as much as possible to 'the solitude of her chamber. The inmates of the house where she liveci, said that she grew careless or providing for her wants, and seemed to regard every thing with• a stolid indifference; while those who, in the way of business, came in contact with her, affirmed.
