wIFE.-George Hyatt, who fifteen years
ago was the very soul of the select circles
in Boston, and the best commedian in the
United States, is now common soldier in
Maine. He is the author of the "Mellow

Hyatt married a beautiful girl, who in few
years was obliged to descend from the lux
ury of riches and take in washing for sub
sistence. Her father lived in one of the
most splendid mansions in Boston, and nine
years ago she was dragging out misera-

last she was driven mad and died in the
aims house. Reader, would you know

round at night, what must be his thoughts!
