There he stood, the prophet of his own
doom, the foreteller of his own early and la
mented fall. Who can tell what strange
and mysterious feelings might at that time
have come over his spirit? What premoni
tions be then had—what indefinable emo
tions, we know not. That there was, how
ever, in his mind, at that time, some presen
timent ofa great and momentous event, then
just at hand, I cannot doubt. Be this as it
may, he left the stage In the chapel on that
day for the last time. He went out and
looked upon the faded scenery of autumn
with musing eye. So, thought he, fares it
with man. The summer of -his years is
soon succeeded by the chills and the decays
of autunin. The honors and the pleasures
of earth that grow green around him to-day,
are withered tomorrow. Change follows
„change with never ceasing cow:Laney. To
day the smiles and promises of hope shed
upon us their sunniest influence, end bright
en each-passing hour into gladness; to-mor
row the scene is changed, is entirely revers
ed. To-day the bacon light of high promise
beams out brightly over the dark waves of
existence; to-morrow that light is quenched,
and those waves roll on more darkly than
before. ,

The winter vacation arrived, and its few
weeks soon passed away. Again spring
came, and we returned to the banks of the

not gone away to spend the vacation at home.
We had left him sick in his room. And

THE 110. AT Or LIFE.
Let's take this world as some wide scone,
Through which in frail but buoVant boat,
With skies now rude, and now serene,
Together thou and I must float;
Beholding oft ou either shore,
Bright spots where wo should love to stay;
But Time plies swift his flying oar,
And on we sped—away, away!
Should chill winds and rain come on,
We'll raise our awning 'gainst the shower,
Sit closer till the storm is gone,
And smiling wait a sunnier hour.
And if that sunnier hour should shine,
We'll know its brightness cannot stay,
And, happy. while 'tis thine and mine,.
CoMplain not when it fades away.
Thua reach we both, at last,.that fall
Down which Life's current 411 must go—
The dark and brilliant, destined all
To sink into the void below: .
Ner cv'n that hour shall want its charms,
If side by side, still fond we keep,
And calmly, in each other's arms
Together link'd, go down the steep.
MISCELLANEOUS.
TWILIGHT MUSINGS.
"Child of the bright and cloudless brow,
I once like thee was young,
And then o'er nature was the glow
Of sunlight beauty hung.
But chilling years have changed the scene,
That world of richest dye,
Hath vanished as its hues had been,
A cold dream's mockery.
"I've seen man's boasted strength decay,
And beauty's flush and bloom,
And oft I've seen the spring's array
O'ershadowed deep with gloom.
And I have marked of fairest things,
That they the soonest fado,
That unto life a poison clings,
Aud therefore sin I sad."
1 well remember him of mild eyes, of no
ble brow, and manly form—whose ever va
rying and •eloquent countenance was ii true
index of the mind—of the pure and guile
less spirit that was within him. We were
in the same class at W He was young.
Scarcely had twenty-two summers smiled
upon him when our acquaintance began.—
The prospect then was, that long, long years
would pass away ere any thing should occur
to interrupt the joys of our companionship.
The ,_rugged path of science lay before us;
its steep ascent was to be climbed, and, if
possible, its far off and lofty summit was to
be gained. We joined hands and ardently
pressed onward. But he paused almost at
the very outset. There is one day of which
I have still a vivid recollection, which paus
ed a few months after our acquaintance be
gan. It was a day of autumn. The sabbath
like stillness that reigned around; the dell
and sombre appearance of the forest that
stretched far away to the north; the slumber.
ing waters of the broad river on-which here
and there a "sere leaf" was floating; the
melancholy chirp and hum of the insect
tribe; the general aspect of repose which
spread out upon every thing; the autumnal
soberness and quietude, in fine, which no
pen can describe;, seem all around me now
as they were then. The college bell rung
is into the chapel for declamation. I re
member nothing of the declamation at that
time save the pereormance of him of whom
I now speak. Nor do I even remember,
definitely the piece which he'recited on that
occasion. The general sentiment was like
that of the poetry which I have placed at
the head of these remarks. But his manner
—his look—the solemnity and pathos of his
utterance—how he stood—how his eye
beamed—how his expressive countenance
changed with the changing sentiment of the
poetry which he was pronouncing. All this
I never can forget, 1 never wish to. There
he Stolid in the strength of his years. Health
mantled his cheeks, and hope and promise
sat prominent on his ample brow. But he
stood there for the LAST TIME. lie stood
there and uttered that which is but. an am
plification of the sentiment of inspiration—
'Man fleeth as a shadow and continueth not.'
when we came back in the spring he was no
morel In the winter he died. On a cold
day in December the college bell tolled.—
The hearse moved away from the yard, and
it bore him to the grave. When I came
back, I went to his room; all was hustled.
I knocked, no answer was given. I knock
ed again and still no sound came to my ear.
I turned me away in sadness, and went to
the pitied of his grave. And then as the
tears fell fast on the unconscious dust, I
found relief to the imprisoned sorrows ofmy
spirit. He died young, but he was ripened
fbr heaven. He was ready though life was
in its freshness, to be offered. He went un
reluctantly at the call of his Redeemer; to
join the hosts of the blessed. I could muse
long on the mournful theme, but the shadows
of more than twilight gathered around me,
and I must lay down the pen after quoting
the following lines, written on the death of
this vpung man, by one who lamented per
haps with heavier grief than any other, his
early death.
"0! when will that bright messenger return,
That calla his soul away, and bid us rise
And follow him, leaving these ills behind, .
And hail him 011 those blissful plains above!
How high the sacred waves of joy will rise!
How pure the bliss! the pleasure how refin'd!
When first we - nteet, will not our joys increase
At every fresh recital of past grief?
And will not each arrival from the earth,
Which joins the happy train of spirits pure,
Cause louder shouts of praise; till all the saints arrive
and join in chorus round
The throne of Deity? Then all with one consent
They prostrate fall, and speechless homage pay.
But whither, Fancy, wilt thou lend my thoughts?
Shall forget I'm in a house of clay?
I look around, and almost seem surprised
That lam not there. Pains and infirmities
Still compass me around, a fleshy clog
Yet binds me down to earth. Have patience then,
The standard or the Savior's cross still bear,
Resume thy toil: ' In conflict still engage,
The conquest will be gained, the victory won.
Tho message soon will come and bid theorise
To hail thy kindred in thy native skies."
[From the Western Methodist.]
LAICONSIABLE OCCURRENCE
I sue before MO the Gladiator lie:
He leans upon his hand—his manly brow
Consents to death, but conquers agony,
Aud his drooped head sinks gradually low—
And through his side the last drops, ebbing slow
Prom the red gash, fall heavy, one by one,
Like the first of a thunder shower; and now
Tito arenaswitns around him—he is gone—

,
Mr. J. J. M'Lauentan, late of Hopkins
villa; Ky. came to his death on Saturday
last?byeteb. an accident which hue.caused
much'sensation and sympathy in chit. slay_
Mr. M'Laughlin was a young gentleman of
good personal accomplishments, genteel
manners and fine talents.. His age was 23
or 24 years, and he was, at times, engaged
in the study of law, which he doubtless in
tended to have followed as a profession. His
mind was of an exceedingly sensitive, ima
ginative or poetical cast—which, with his
somewhat retired and modest demeanor,
made him an interesting companion to all
classeaofpeople. -
He arrived iii this city some four weeks
since, and soon made himself known to the
Thespian Society of young gentlemen in this
city as an amateur actor—and it was soon
found that his peculiar temperament of mind
and imagination, aided by his excellent na
tural powers, gave him a remarkable ascen
dency in histronic exercises. He had the
power to enter fully into the spirit and mean
ing of his author, and body forth into forms
oflife the subtle creations ofthe poet's fancy.
The Thespian Society occasionally have
public exhibitions; and at one of these on
Thursday evening last week, M'Laughltn
acted the part of Bertram in Maturin's
gloomy tragedy of "Bertnun or the Castle
of St. Aldobrand."
Since the melancholy catastrophe which
has laid M'Laughlin in the cold, cold grave,
we have read the tragedy on which he spent
his last earthly powers, and amidst the paw
eion of which, agitating his audience like a
tempest, he received his death wound. Be
fore we close this article, the reason why
we read the tragedy will be apparent. The
Rev. R. C. Maturin, the author of the play,
was an English clergyman of powerful fan
cy. Besides some productions of the pulpit,
of which he was the author, there are now
in print of his tragic writings "The Fatal
Revenge," "Wild Irish Boy," "The Miles
ian Chief," iStc. As far as we have had an
opportunity to study his genius, it had the
characteristics of a stern, gloomy grandeur:
The dark and fearful storms of passion were
the. playthings of his imagination. He had
little to do with the gentler sympathies of
our nature. Reinorse, Revenge, like two
iron despots, held rule over his imagination;
and in all his picturings of the war ofpassion
or of the elements, not a single lovely touch
of the pencil dashes the brow of the thunder 1
king.
Bertram is a combination of all these ter-
rible qualities. In copious and heart touch
ing eloquence it exhibits to the reader the
picture of a powerful mind—ruined—blasted
—desolate--yet unbending, and holding in
his soul as the life of his being the sentiments
of a deadly vengeance against the earthly
author of all his woes. It was this being
whom Artaughlin represented. The tra
gedy opens with a terrible tempest, in which
Bertram, long an exile and outlaw from his
native land, is thrown upon the coast near
the castle of his deadly enemy, Aldobrand.
He is succoured by a community of monks
—through them gains access to the castle
and there wreaks hie long nursed—double
distilled—fiendish vengeance on its lord; he
stabs him to the heart. The lady of the
castle—of whose connection with the out
law, in the past and the present, we shall
not speak--dies, heart-broken at his feet.
He then winds up the drama by stabbing
himself.
M'Laughlin had conned his dreadful les
son with such an absorbing Interest and so
completely stood within the character du
ring its representation, that the effect was
deep and harrowing on the minds of the au
(hence. He seemed to be in a high state
of mental excitement, and with the most
gloomy pathos pronounced such sentenoes
as these:—
I hare no country—
.
And for my race, the last dread trump shall wake
The sheeted relics of my ancestry,
Ere trump of herald to the armed lists
In lh• bright blazon of their stainless coat,
Calls their lost child again!
The applause of the audience was great,
and of course added to what we shall call
monomania of the imagination. He became
what he represehted. There was some
thing like an overpowering reality in what
he wrought. His step—his eyes—the stern
tones of his voice—low and husky with the
deep earthquake of patnion—were the out
law tfown. The audience, we understand,
were almost inclined to say with the terror.
stricken prior in the tragedy.
"High-hearted man, sablime avail In thy prat."
"Wild admiration thrill, me to behold
An evil strength, so above earthly pitch."
"This majesty ofguilt doth awe my spirit;
It is the embodied fiend who tempted him.
Sublime in guilt!"
As the tragedy , wore to its denouement,
his excitement increased, and the. gloomy
spirit of the play was upon him with a pow
er that made a strong impression of reality
upon his hearers, and made them shudder as
he pronounced the following, accompanied
by the plunge of the dagger that brought
him to his death:—
"Bertram bath but ono fatal foe on earth,
And Ise is here." - [stabs himself.]
It was at this moment that be plunged the
weapon to his heart. It is saidtohave_be:
ars accident. It is our opinion, however,
that it was the result of tho excited feelings
of the actor, who had so absorbingly enter
ed into the dreadful spirit of his hero. as to
drive home his death upon his heart by the
mere spasmodic action of the muscles that
unconsciously moved to do the bidding of
the tempest of passion within. Taking in
to view premeditated purpose, it was an ac
cident—for he had no design of ending his
life with the play; but looking at his com
plete identification of feeling with the part
he acted, the accident becomes a natural
and not a wonderful consequence. • .
The hallucination, if such we may call it,
did not end with the plunge of the - dagger.
His feelings bore him along yet further.—
There was still, after some exclamations of
surprise from the tragic monks, a dying sen
tence for him to repeat. ne went through
it with a startling effect:—
[with a burst of exultation]
.'t died no felon , death—
A warrior's weapon freed & warrior') soul."
While he was pronouncing theso,the last
'Words of the tragedy, his eye and manner
Were fearfully wild, the blood was falling
from his bosom upon the young gentleman
who had personated the lifeless lady Imo
gene! As soon as the last words were pro
nounced, he fell—to rise no more!
The wound was inflicted on the left breast,
entered the pericardium, if it did not pierce
the heart. The bleeding was internal and
so slow in its progress that the organic
tion of the heart was not finally clogged un
til Saturday, when he left this sublunary
scene, and another curtain opened upon the
drama of eternity.
His funeral was attended by a very large
concourse on Sunday in the Masonic Hall.
The Rev. Mr. Howell,of the Baptist church
in this city, preached a solemn and appro
priate funeral discourse. There was a
breathless silence, and every eye was rivet.
ted on the speaker when, near the close of
his sermon, he related that he was acciden-
tally a fellow passenger with the deceased
when he came to the city four weeks be
fore—that he had been interested in him—
had conversed with him—had learned from
his own lips his predilections for the stage—
had advised him to more manly and sub-
stantial pursuits—had learned from him that
at times,he had serious and solemn thoughts
on the subject of religon, and gained from
him a promise that he would attend to the
concerns of his soul. He saw him no more
until the day before he died, when lying on
his death bed. Mr. McLaughlin then re
ferred to the former conversation with Mr.
H., said that he was still concerned to se
cure the salvation of his soul, and that if he
recovered, he should have learned one lea.
son. He did not recover. The lesson to
which he referred, is now for the living to
learn.
There was a respectable precession for
med, and many young men walked alter
their inanimate friend to the grave. His
case had attached ranch sympathy; while
he lived, he had every.attention which kind
ness and medial skill could impart. It is
said that he ha, a mother living in Lancas
ter, Pa. .
As we saw the slow procession Wind its
way, we thought of the lines of Willie:
Tread lightly; ecnnrades!—we have laid

Like life—savo deeper light mid shade,
We'll not disturb them new

Rest now! his journeying is dans—
