matte was found dead beside bed, ia The room
Of Mrs. Jameson, another lunatic, who 81 the

Mrs. Strong, gave the following account
] heard Mrs. Strong asking for light--shis
was her constant babit--it occurred 10 me,
that the Lord bad delivered her into my hands
and that if there was any more light 10 the
other world she should see it. She had been
plagueing me for many months with this en-
quiry, and now. one Of the attendants being
gone out. and the other preparing dinner. ]
determined TO be rid Of the annoyance. I
accordingly slipped out into the gallery and
invited Mrs. s., into my room. She came
with me Willingly; she had on two caps:
took them of and tied them round her neck !;
the string broke. She stood still, close to
me, making no resistance, SO knew the Lord
had given her to me; ] then put my bands
around bcr threat and choked her. then
laid her down on the floor softly. so as to make
no noise, and took OIL one Of my stockings
and put it around her neck, pulling il as hard
as could--but 1t was no use, she was al
ready dead ! felt her pulse, and ! knew il.
While ! was doing this | said my prayers.
aud thanked tho Lord that be had permitted
me thus to glorify his name.

a rRIEDLy HINT.

The strongest temptation ever experienced
by one endcavoring to overcome habits Of in
temperance is, probably, that induced during
moments or hours of ennui Tho whole sys-
tenn, moral, mental and physical, experiences
lassitude so painful that resort to the old
stimulant can hardly be avoided. The suf-
ferer requires almost superhlman energy to
combat successfully his strong enemy, and
there is no wonder that so many then fall,
who could redily resist the entreaties or sneers
Of direct attack. We know Of no better
advice for such occasions than this Spring
up, and do something, and keep doing IT,
no matter what, SO that it be not to rush in.
to the embrace Of your old enemy.

forms us that after the occurrence Of the &C.
cident, whileIthe excitement was at its height,
one woman, forgetful of the dangers through
which she had just passed, and looking cool

cried out at the top of her voice where is
my bandbox 2 The box probably contained
new bonnet, which the woman feared was
smashed.
This was remarkable instance Of ruling
passion. What will q woman not give for her
bonnet ~
