THE END OF THE DRUNKnRD. A New York
correspondent of the United States Gazette de.
scribing an evening on the Battery, concludes his
letter with this affecting incident.-N Y Specta

A crowd had gathered near the gate at the
southern extremity of the Battery, and several
voices rose at the same moment upon the air, cry.
ing for vengeance upon tattered form, that reel.

age, and was followed by young, beautiful and
interesting GIRL not out of her teens. moment

struck this lovely being to tho earth For this the
crowd were pursuing him, and would doubtless
have committed some summary act upon the inc
brlated wretch, had not the same delicate form in
terposed to prevent the contamination of the deed
She approached timidly and fondy begged the
monster to go home. He swore by the living God
that he never would return. Little did he think
as he uttered the oath, tina: the vengeance of that
God his sacrIegious lips proaned, was at that mo-
ment hanging over him, and that the angel of
Death was waiting upon the waters to bear him
with all his sins upon his head, into the presence of
the Creator he had Knocked.
he shook the fair girl from him with curse,
ana staggered to the railing. A cluster of boats

drunkard contrived to Chamber on the uppernost

ers 10 perform something lively, or "d-n his eyes,
ne would come out there, and sing for himself ~
These were the last words he uttered. In endeay
orng to change his position, his foot slipped, and
he fell into the waters to rise no more.-Great
exertlons were made by the boats to render him
assistance, and more than one daring fellow plung-
ed into the sea but all in. vain-his BODY has
rot yet been recovered. The tide was running
strong at the time, and we may hear of his body
being washed upon the opposite shore in few
days.
The poor girl was almost frantic-she rushed
