ATgRRlBLE ScEsE.--ln passing through
Constance street, in the Third Municipality,
SAYS the last New Orleans National, we
were startled by cries emanating from the
rear of house, which we happened to be
passing they were Of SO painful and heart
rendiug nature, that we rushed through
the passage 10 the spot-years can never
eradicate the scene that presented ITSELF
On the balcony Of the house stood, or rather
struggled, a mau, nearly naked, held by two
interesting young girls from twelve 10 ff-
teen years Of age He was delirious and
evidently in the last stage OF that dreadful
mslady, "Yellow Fever" To rush up
stairs and prevent the unfortunate victim
from throwing himself over the balcony,
was but the work of moment. His strug-
giles were dreadful, but they were the las,
efforts of expiring nature, and did not last
long he gradually sunk upon the floor, and
reason or a moment seemed to return as he
held the hands Of his daughters, gazing a,
them with countenance il which mental
and physical agony seemed terribly blended.
Hard, indeed, would it be to say which
were the greater-the painful contention of
the strong u an with his last failing breath,
or the mental suffering created by the black
and gloomy forehodings Of the fate awaiting
his now innocent aud friendless girls. One
convulsive struggle shook his frame TO its
life's seat, and with one long drawn sigh
his spirit fled. He was corpse leaving
nought behind save The dead aud CHASTITY
expression of connienance, SO indicative Of
pain. Thus the two young creatures We're
left at the mercy Of a cold world their mo-
tlcr having died the week before, ''strang-
rrs in stranger land, w it'll none to stretch
out the hand Of true friendship towards
them a prey, perhaps, IN the wiles Of the
prolligate, or the drceitiulness Of pretended
friends.
