case of suicide:

his usual spirits, and waS found hung dead
by his. pocket. et.handkerchiet, attached to a
limb. When found, his hands were in his
pockets, and there were no marks of strug-
gle on the ground, though his head was but
little higher than if he sat in a chair. 1t
appeared that after going into the woods,
ne had endeavored to tell tree, but it
lodged on an other, when he tried to fell
another upon it; and thus bring it to the
ground, but the tree fell wrong way, and
another was tried with the same result.
In memorandum book in his pocket,
was the following articles:
IL am tired Of life. The Lord suffers
every thing to 60 against me. These three
trees all fell the contrary way; yet it is not

with the wreck of the steamer Fanny Fern,
eleven miles below this city, at 10 O'Clock

for Louisville. She had heavy cargo OF
valuable dry goods, and a quantity of glass.
Most of the dry goods are under water and

SONG OF THE SABBATH.

The Sabbath day-the GraciousdaS!
Bringing the gifts Of peace,
Chasing lifs's ralsst cares away,
Letting tired labor cease; .
Breaking the sunshine on the earth,
Bidding vain shadows fee,
Calling for praise and sinless mirth,
Making the bondman free.
The Sabbath day--the priceless boon!
Letnot the sordii deem
1tyields no gain, itcOmes tco tocn,
tits of light esteem!
Let not the bigot sternly say
His temple claims it ALL
Who shall imprison Mercy's ray
Within that narrow wall9
The Sabbath day--the separate!
For which with yearniug sighs
The wearied workers patient wait,
And JOY to see it rise:
The aching hand, the o'ertasked brain,
Alike may find repose,
And gather strength totoil again,
And strength to conquer woes.
The Sabbath day--the gift divine!
That whatsoe'er our creed,
Supplies with bounteOusness b. nign
Leisure for every need;
For prayer, for praise, for soothing resti
For thought htOfbcundless scope,
For heed of charity's behest,
For love, for JOY, for hope.
The Sabbath day--the glorious day!
Beyond the city gate,
Let tens Of thousands wend their way,
Where breeze and sunshine wait,
And let them see the streamIets flow,
And tread the daisied sod,
And look upon the buds that blow,
And search and find out God
The Sabbath day--the buckler strong
That guards the poor and weak,
Shielding the desolate from wrong,
Leaving the tyrant weak.
The Sabbath day-O prize it well,
Its wisdom learn to scan;
Alike in temple, field, orcell,
"Tho Sabbath made for man"
