DEATH FROM GRIEF.-An instance of death
from sudden grief occurred in Washington
city last week. 1t is that of slave woman,
named Mary Jane, aged about thirty years.
She had been the nurse Of an interesting in.
FAINT of Mr.. Pauus Thyson, of 18th street,
which died on Sunday morning last. As soon
MS the spirit of the little sufferer had passed
away, the faithful nurse sank into uncon-
sciousness, and thirty hours thereafter expir-
ed, without other apparent cause than the
grief that had overpowered her. She belong
ed to Mr.. Thyson, and had been the nurse of
all his children.

in the island of Manhattan, he knows thing

Besides, the Squire is good Methodist man,

AN INDIAN ADvENTURE.-lhe following
incident was narrated to Lieutenant Beck
with, of the Pacific Railroad Expedition, by u
Delaware Indian guide, as they were travers-
ing mountain pass which was marked by
numerous gulles and ravnes:
lie was traversng this pass at midnight,
accompanied b, his squaw only, both mount
cd on the same horse, and the night so dark
that he could neither see the outlines of the
hills nor the ground at his horses feet when
he heard sound (Which he imitated) so
slight as to be scarcely perceptble to an ln-
dams ear, OF an arrow carried in the hand,
striking once only with slight tick, against
bow. Stopping, he could hear nothing, but
instantly dlsmuunted-h squaw leaning
down upon the horse, that she might by no
possibility be seen-and placed his ear to the
ground, when he heard the same sound re-
peated but few feet distant, and was there
fore satisfied that however imminent the dan
ger he had moi yet been seen or heard, Tor no
Indian wouId make such a noise ut night in
approaching his foe; he, therefore, instantly
arose and took his horse by the bride clos'
to his mouth, to lessen the chances of his
moving or whining and one hundred and
seventy of his deudliest enemies, the Sioux,
on II war party, filed past him within arms
reach, while he remained unobserved.

THE BABY Is DEAD

A long, black scarf, trimmed with broad
wh ribbon, hangs upon the door knob
A death-ike stiffness pervades the whole
mansion; all within moving with the softest
whispers, as if fearful of disturbing the re-
pose of some loved one. Those passing
along the street observe the sombrc scarf,
and the instant change in the countenance
betrays the thought, "the baby is deadr'-
Yes, the baby is dead, and not only those
who have been familiar with its sparkling
eyes, but the stranger who received the in
telligence from the scarf on the door feels
that home has been robbed of a precious
idol. How deep was the love that had clus-
tered around the innocent babe; and oh! how
terrible is the blow its death inflicts.
The baby is deadl 1t no longer cings in
innocent love to its mothers bosom, or stirs
with fondest joy its fathers heart. Its pratt
tling has ceased for ever, and its once luugh-
ing e es are closed in eternal sleep. But
even in death it seems to have lost none of
its sweetness. 1t lies calmly in its siiRed
cushioned coffin, prepared with so much care;
it has been arrayed in its costiest garments,
its pure brow trimmed with a fragrant
wreath and flowers have been scattered over
its lovely form. AS it is thus arrayed, the
babe seems only to be sleepingj but alas it is
that sleep which hath no waking.
The baby is dead! Around it are gathered
many whose love it has excited. The min
lister leans over the cold form, and touched
with the sight, tears tricklc down his checks,
while he excaims: "'rhus saith the Lord,
Suffer little ones to come unto me and for
bid them not, for OF such is the kingdom of
heaven"
The baby is dead! 1t is about to be shut
for ever from the sight OF those who loved il
as no others could. OH how the mother
clinqs to the lteless form, as she imprnts
the last lervent kiss upon its cold cheek,
how her very heari-strings seem to break
And the father, though he has manfuIy
braved tolls, cares aud dangers now feels un-
and weeps like child as he bends
over the corpse Of the lost one. Sympathy
at other times consolng, is now of no avail,
and the hearts of both suffer the deepes
anguish.
The baby is dead! The tears have wet
its grave, and crushed hopes lie buried with
it. Though its mortal existence may have
been brief, its death has desouted joyous
home. Sweet babe. Orators may anrSuncc
a nations loss in death OF patriots great and
true, and poets sing in touchng strains of
the memory OF he dead who have accom-
pIished mighty things-none but angels of
heavenly birth will record the lie, so pure
and beautiful, so early lost.
