A Truly Sad Affair

A melancholy case of love, despair. and
suicide occurred at West Troy, n. Y, on
Saturday week. A young lady named
Persia X. Brown left her boardinr- house on
that day, and on The following Monday
morning her dead body was found in the
canal. II appears from the testimony that
a young man named Amos A. Cass had
for some two years previously been paving
attentions to the deceased. On Saturday
at O'Clock he went to see Miss Brown.
and was with her some two hours. He
told her he was about to be married and
she wished him much Joy. DC. In about
an hour after he went away she left the
house and was never heard Of till her dead
body was found as above stated In her
room was found a composition which it was
supposed had reference to her own CASE
In 1t she speaks Of a maiden who dwell
happy and contented; in process of time a
youth came to pass the leisure hours with
her. who taught her to love, and in whose
company she was happy. The following
are the concluding paragraphs of the com
munication she lcft behind when she com
mi ted the fatal deed:
"What means this? lie talks of love,
and then that they must part She knew
OF no other love but the first pure love OF
an honest heart.
Hush, be STILL" God has Withdrawn
His strong arm; ministering angels stand
back "Why is this?" OH why has God
left her? Is it because she first withheld
her love in permitting mortal to receive

LANE IN TIGHT PLAcE,-Lane, the no.
torlous Kansas traitor and imposter, has
been retailing his horrible stories of the
wrongs of the Kansas aboliionists. for n
week or two past, at sundry places in Iowa.
The other night, while he was HOLDING
forth to crowd of black republicans at
Oskaloosa, he was getting off his usual
quantum Of gas against the Kansas Legis-
lature, which he pronounced abogus affair,
denying that any of its acts were binding,
when al old farmer in the room rose up
and begged leave To enquire how and why
IL was, Ii all this was true that he Lame
applied to that same Legislature for n di-
vorce from his wife! Lane 'wilted' down.
the question Of the honest old country
man threw him off his guard, and .mbar-
rassed him to such an extent, that he left
the stand amid the sneers and jibes of his
own political friends who composed the
meeting. 1t is a matter Of history that
Lane DID apply to that identical bogus leg
lslature for divorce from his wife: and
the only way he could reply to an inquiry
like that of the old farmer, would be To- say
that he wanted only bogus divorce
But that wasn't the sort of divorce for
Lanes wife; as SHE recently obtained the
genuine article, at the hands Of a circuit
court in Indiana, on the ground of deser-
ton and bad treatment generally Ou;n-
g H. HeroM.

that homage which was due to her Maker?
or is it to teach her that the flesh is weak
OF why did He forsake one who from her
infancy, morning. noon, and night, bad
bowed before Him and prayed for His
blessing?
4 change has come over this maiden;
she awakes from her dream to find she
clasps shadow The sun shines no more
upon her pathway; the stars are dim. Oh!
how can she live when another's form is
clasped in those arms, another's head rests
on that bosom? How can she smile on the
same as If her heart was not molten lead,
desolate and bllghted? There is darkness
over her soul; nonght on earth can cheer
her now. She knows the greatest saints
have erred, and she hears the voice of Je-
sus saying, Go and sin no more. Not all
can etiace that dark spot from hermemory;
there is fear that reason will forsake her
throne. She hears the dashing of the dark
waters, whose waves are waiting to make
her shroud, and voice saying, come, here
is rest for the weary She cannot stay
within this frail tenement; she must leave
it because it has proved So weak.
There is something which dread,
1t is dark, a fearful thing;
IT'S not the dread of death-'ts moro
1t is the dread of Madness
This is one of the most mysterious and
melancholy cases we have ever been called
upon to record. The deceased was about
twenty years ofage, had always resi-
ded in West Troy, was a member of the
Baptist church, ard was universally re-
spec;ed.
