THANKSGIVING.

It is customary, on the return OF this 1estl-
val. for Editors to grow sentimental, ana 70
d;sconrse somewhat in serious strain. we
would be in the fashion-indeed who can help
writing seriously on such subJects VINO
can help being serious, as the day itself awak-
ems ten thousand recollections of the days OF
orr boyhood, brings to mind the friends OF
our early years, the band, that then unbroken'
gathered around the raternal hearth, the rec
elections of happy moments passed. such as
we may never enjoy again, of pleasures that
can never again be ours; the merry skating
party on the pond, the shooting party in the
woods, and, above all, the party in the even
ing, when the grls--Heaven bless 'em-were
gathered together! How can one, when he
looks back on such scenes and enjoyments,
help being somewhat melancholy Especial
w those who have outlived the associations of
early life But when we turn and look for
ward to the approaching festival. who can help
having feelings of nexpressible pleasure p
Then what pleasing anticipations fill the mind.
The young are thinking Of the merry gather
ings to which we have alluded, parents are
preparing to welcome back their children, and
even the dull epicure, the man who has no
friends and wishes none, is cheered by the
roast turkeys, the plum puddings. and long
ows of pumpkin pies that rise before his i'm
agination. The poor, too, can look forward to
this day with pleasure, for the humblest dwell
ling is not then without its luxuries. Even
the printers and editors, poor, forlorn wretch
cs as they are generally, on such an occasion
have a chance to speak from experience OF the
good things of this life Look at them, as
they gather around the board, on which smoke
the various viands prepared for their consump-
ton, lean and feeble, they seem for all the
world like Pharaoh's lean kline yet it is plea
SAINT to mark the look of hungry expectancy
with which they watch the signal to begin.
No warrior ever waited with more impotence

A Dark Tragedy!

A very romantic affair came off in the SUI
burbs of this city (Parkersville,) last evening"
Saturday, Nov. Goth. A negro by the name
of Brown. who has been working at the Pc
nobscot Exchang, in this city, for some
months, thinking probably, that life was not
boon unless interspersed by some great deed,
and wishing, moreover, to get his name up
called upon his beloved (who is also lady OF
color last evening, and having gained admit
lance, seated himself in one of the rooms,
having previously, as matter of course, at
tired himself in his best Sunday go-to-meet-
ing clothes. would state, before going far
Their, that he has been counting this lady some
few years, Gas report says,) and having loved
her with love undiminished by the fight OF
years, and his love not being reciprocated as
fully as he wished, he came to the conclusion
that it was no use thus to drag out life OF
misery. So, to go on with my description OF
this dark deed, after having seated himself he
began to converse with his beloved, and APP
peared very pleasant-more so than usual
He at last requested drink OF water, and
while his lady went to the closet to supply
his want, he took the opportunity to draw
pistol from his pocket and shot her, the ball
lodging in the neck. He then shot himself,
having probably held the pistol at his mouth
or cheek, as he tore his mouth all to pieces.
While the physician was sewing his mouth
up, he did not even move, but sat up as stiff
as log, not even showing the least sign OF
pain. The woman will probably survive, as
she says herself that it will not hurt her beau
ty any. The man will not probably live. and
if madam Rumor can be believed it is pretty
generally the opinion in these parts that he is
done B,own III. E.
