''CYRUs-Several months have elapsed

hours | have seen within that time, and

you, for you have destroyed my happi-

member that you have been the destroyer
of ones happiness that loved you
sincerely. If you had treated me as you
should, you would have found me a de.
voted friend. What is past cannot be
recalled"
Miss Cotton was an intimate friend of
Miss Davis, with whom she has con-
vcrsed freely about these matters for a
year or two past, and with whom she
was most of the day Sunday, and with
whom she left all of her affairs in charge.

Miss Davis did not believe that she was
in earnest till she saw her jump into the
fatal stream.
Tomorrow we shall publish q letter
from Miss Davis, giving an account of
their conversation and acts Sunday, their
previous talks upon this subject, and the
previous attempt of Miss Cotton to drown
herself
The following piece of poetical compo-
sition was found in a letter written by
Miss Cochran, and evidently directed to
her former lover. The lines no doubt
expressed her feelings at the time of wri-
ting:
81 shall .ooa in death be sleeping,
Far away where strangers dwell
Far from all those haunts OF pleasure
That in youth loved so well.
Flowers shall not be DER me planted,
Nor shall willows DER me wave;
Marble columns, decked with grandeur,
Ne'er shall mark my humble grave.
Friends will shed no tears Of sadness
When my dream OF life is o'er,
For around me all stTangers--
AM on a distant shore.
Hear me, then, o! friends of childhood,
Hear an eXile's dying prayer;
When soar to climcs Elysian,
Let me meet my loved ones there.
NV heart now droops in loneliness
NV misery's perfect now,
For dark despair his seal has stampd
Upon my throbbing brow;
No voices in affections tones
Upon my ear now fall;
Alone tread the path OF life
am the last of all.

Above my grassy bed,
One simple stone to mark the spot
And one TO weep me, dead.'

Embroideries at the Crystal Palace.

The New York Tribune, in noticing the
different articles ON exhibition at the New
York Worlds Fair, thus speaks of the
embroideries and laces displayed by John
Higgins & Co., who have houses both in
New York and Dublin:
The cmbroideries and laces are mostly
10 be seen in the Gallery and the hand
some show case exhibited by John Hig-
gins Il Co., Dublin, and standing near the
head of the western stair case toward the
Reservoir, is worthy Of the first examin-
alton of the connoisSeur.
In this collection the articles are got up
with great finish and effect, while the de-
signs are admirable for their good taste.
Here are two infants robes, which are the
most beautiful in the Exhibition. They
are made apparently to fit an infant-em-
broidcries not always paying due regard
to that requisite. The embroidery does
not overload the muslin, as is too often
the case with infants dresses, but springs
| from it with natural grace. The value
of these robes is 500 and $3.50 each. A
child's dress of fashionable eyelet work,
very rich and durable, is estimated at
$3.50. An evening dress for lady, of
Limerick lace, costs S4C0. This. dress
fully sustains the reputation of this kind
of lace, for richness and gracefulnesS OF
effect. In this case we saw handker-
chief for presentation to Mrs. Pierce, the
lady of the President, valued at 5000, a
very elaborate and beautiful piece of work,
which has now been removed. Collars of
crochets, caps, sleeves and other things
make up the assortment. These articles,
as card informs us. are embroidered at
the Converts and Parish Schools of Ire
land, employment being given to sixty
two schools, each school averaging $50
pupils. The average weekly earnings of
each school are fl2 sterling, and the
total amount paid by this firm yearly is
f40,OGO sterling. The perfection to
which this embroidery is brought speaks
well for the industry and skill of the
women of Ireland. The patterns, no
doubt, are gained from France, but the
execution is worthy of the design. This
collection particularly deserves commen-
dation, as it has in attendance lady who

GA correspondent of the Charleston
Courier states that Gen. Charles Cotes-
worth Pinckney never used the express

The circumstance out of which it grew
he states as follows:
While Gen. Pinckney was Ambassador
at the French Court, Bonaparte, having
brought the ambassadors of many, and
perhaps all the ambassadors with whom
he then held friendly or diplomatic rela-
tons, to degrading terms or pledges as
to contributions to the French treasury,
with a view to operations against Great
Britain. turned round to Gen. Pinckney
and said. And what will your republic

The cent was then not known in our
coin, and this version of the anecdote is
communicated to the Courier upon very
good authority.
