Wife OF g laborers and thss mother Of
two little boys, fell herself attacked
by fever in the night; in the morning
1t greatly increased, and in the eeven-
ing the fatal tumor appeared. This
was during the absence of her hus-
band, who went 10 work at a dis
tance, and only returned OH Satur-
day night bringing home the scanty
means of subsistence for his family
for the week. Terrified by the fate
OF the neighboring family before men

for her children, and determining not
to communicate the diseasease TO
them, she formed the heroic resoiu-
ton of leaving her home and going
somewhere elseto die. Havinglock-
ed them into room, and sacrificed
to their safety even the last and sole
comfort ola parting embrace, she
ran down the stairs, CARRYING with
her the sheets and coverlet, that she
might leave no means OF contaglon.
She then shut the door with a sigh,
and went away But the eldest,
hearingthe door shut, went 10 the
window, and seeing her running in
that manner, cried out out 'Good-by,
mother, in voice sotender, that she
involuntarly stopped. 'Good-by,
mother, repeated the youngest child,
stretching his little head out ofthe
window; and thus was the poor affiic

the dreadful conflict between the
yearnings which called her back, and
the pity and solicitude which urged
her on. length the latter conquer

farewells OF her children, who knew

LEvERETTs LATIN LEXICON,

TNNLARGED AND IMPROVED, compiled chiefly from
IL the Magnum Totius Lanitatis Lexicon at Faccioai
and Forceln and the German works of Scheler and Lue
nemann, embracing, ALSO the classical distinctions of
words and the chronological Index from Freunds Lexi
"#s
The present edition of this standard and favorite Latin
Lexicon has been much improved by the transfer to its
columns of the classical distinctions Of Latin words
given in the Lexicon of DIR. VIM Freund, Of Germany,
and translated by Riddle The classical degree of each
word is indicated by fgure for example, word Wlon
figure is fully classical and Cfcerondn NTH the figures
i, q and 3, words classical only in the first
ond &c degrees and this distinction the student per-
ceves at a glance. The Psychological Index, also from
Freund Lexicon has been incorporated into the present
edition Leyere and will be found valuable acquisi
ton. While transferring these notes and marks, cata-
ogues carefully kept of the words found in each
Lexicon, which not found in the other On compar
ing these catalogues it found that the value and inn
portance of the additional words found in Leyeret far
knowledge of the Latin language is concerned, very
exceeds that of those found in Riddles Freund The
extensive of Leverets Lexicon In all parts Of the
country and the preference which has been universally
given TO it all similar works, render its recommended
ton superuous; but attention to this edition is
