HoM1c1DE.-Capt. Thomas Moffatt
was killed in Oakland on Thursday
evening, and we are assured the follow
ing is correct version of the circum-
stances which led to hisdeath: On Thurs
day, Capt. Moffatt was in San Francis
CO, and returned to Oakland in the last
boat which left here that day. He had
been keeping public house in Oakland,
and on arriving home he learned that his
landlord, a Frenchman named Alphene,
had attached his fixtures to secure the
sum of sliO rent, which he was owing
him. In company with man named
Boufante, e went toa ne ghboring rouse
to see Alphene, in order to arrange the
suit. Alphene was in the company of
man named Millet, and Moffatt got into
a quarrel and struck both of them. Mil
let left the house, but Moffatt and AL
phene remained, struggling in hand to
hand encounter While thus engaged,
some person, supposed to be Millet, sud-
denly pushed open the outer door and
discharged both barrels Of double-bar-
relied gun at Mofatt, lodging in bis side,
and causing his death in the course of ..
few hours. Moffatt is well-known in.
this city, and was at one time an officer
of the police. He is to be buried TO-DAY
by the Firemen, Odd Fellows, and Ma
sons, al of which he was member

GoINc AsTnAY.-Cold words to fall
on loving heart-he has gone astray
And is this the time to desert him:
This the time to taunt him with words
that roll like lava from your passion, and
only scar his soul' No! he passes under
clouds; be his light now; perhaps he has
no other.
Many a true heart that would have
come back like the dove to the ark az
ter its transgression, has been frighten-
ed beyond recall by the angry look and
menace, the taunt, the savage charity OF
the unforgiving soul. Be careful how
you freeze the warm emotions Of repen-
tance. Beware lest those pleading words
unheeded now, sting you in some shad-
owy vale Of your future sorrow. Re-
pcntance, changed by neglect or unkind-
ness, becomes like melted iron in the
mould. Triac with it never. Be the
first to meet the erring with outstreteh-
ed arms. Wipe the tear from his eye
pour the balm of consolation on the
wounds that guilt has made. Let your
hearts be the grave for his transgres-
slons, your pity find vent in bearing his
burden, not in useless words. O., for
give the erring! Did not He who died
on Cavalry Shield him from the con-
tempt of grosser minds; make brightness
and beauty where all was clouded and
storm before in bis life.

"LET ME SLEEP.n

About month ago, when Mr. Lee
of this paper whose exceedingly lnelan
choly death we were yesterday call upor
to announce, was in buoyant health, his
eye, in glancing over an exchange pa
per, rested upon the pathic little artic-
le given below, and struck with its sac
beauty, he rcpublished it. We we'll re-
member hearing him read it aloud, and
the touching pathos of his voice, as ii
dwelt upon the last paragraph, as if he
we're musing on destiny, now steals up
on us like an echo-mournful ye: sweet:
''Let me Sleep" said my companion,
half pettishly, turning from my couch,
"Let me Sleep" The words haunted
my memory for hours AFTERWARDS. How
often has the words been breathed in
this weary world, 80, let me sleep"
The man whose conscience lashes him
for misdeeds-evils committed and un-
repented of-cries, as he drops his head
into his thorny pillow-''Let me sleep
with sleep comes oblivion" The mour-
ner who has seen some bright anl beau
tiful one fade from his embrace, like a
summer flower nipped by too early
frost, bows his head above the paled
face of the PROSTATE form below him,
and sighs, in the agony Of his soul
''Let me slecp!-sleep with the loved
one whose smile shall never welcome my
footsteps more"
'sLet me sleep,'' says the traveller,
who, foot-sore and weary, has toiled
long in the world, and seen hopes per-
ish unful6lled, joys wither ere they are
tasted, friendships which he thought en-
during, changing hue like chameleons,
and rainbow promises fading and melting
into colorless air-"O, let me sleep, for
l am weary
The rosy-cheeked child, the bright
eyed maiden, the thoughtful matron,
these from whom life puts on its finest
aspect, its most endearing smiles, all
have periods in which they long for
sleep-for the oblivion of all care
hours in which the waters of Lethe may
flow darkly and deeply over them.
There cometh sleep unto ALTA sleep
deep, hushed and breathless. The roar
Of the cannon, the deep-toned thunder
bolt, the shock of an earthquake, or the
rush Of ten thousand armies cannot break
up its still repose. With mute lips and
folded arms, one after another the ephe-
mera Of earth sink down into darkness
and nothingness. No intruding foot
step shall jar upon their rest, no disturb
ing touch shall wiring from them there
the exclamation, "Let me sleep.''-Cin.
