Out of the depths, Lord, to thee we cry!
The bitter waves o'erwhelm us in their might!
PROSTATE before thy great white throne we lie,
Cropping for Thee through all the binding night.
We hear the steps of heroes treading slow
The Via-doorosa,-wh their Cross
Crates on the dreary way with sound of woe,
Filling the soul with sense of bitter loss.
How long, Lord-how long shall dismal night
Brood DER the world with mirk of deadly wrong?
Sin and foul darkness quench the blessed light
OfThy fair earth?-how long, Lord-how long?
How long, o Lord-how long shall wicked men
Dig heroes graves and send Thy Saints to death?
Oh, let them flee before Thy Truth as when
The storm-clouds vanish at the whirlwinds BREATH
Fool knowst thou not that, in earths burrows dark
The precious, precious seed of life is sown,
To die, that it may qucksn? Who shall mark
The ripened corn till all the summers flown?
The eartR and the latter rain must fall HI
THAT oft of blood,-and this is always tears.) q
Upon the seed, before the harvest-call
The sharp bright blade, heralds the golden ears
On! on, to death! The fateful hour draws near
The martyrs crown of thorns is almost won!
Death seals once more triumph, and mems fear
Proclaims that still on earth Gods will is done.
Mans wrath shall praise Him! Now His power ap-
pears,
When Sin plows deep, and sows the bloody seed!
We water the broad ferrow with our tears,
And 10! the harvest is nation freed!
We wait Thee, Lord, watchers wait the day
We know there is redemption in Thy hand
And plenteous mercy still attends Thy way;
For, didst Thou mark our sins, OH who should
stand?

Guard Against sad Accidents.

MesSrS. Editors The very sad accident on
the railroad track, between Mechanic and Fos-
ter streets, on Tuesday night last, should not
be lost upon the community. 1t has many
lessons for us all. Let me indicate three only
First, the duty of not using the railway as a
footpath, and especially avoid it whenever
there are two or more parallel tracks. 1t is
not safe to any, not even for railway men
whose business it is to be fully informed of all
risks in their calling. Even age and habits of
great caution were not sufficient to protect our
deceased friend. Second, let our city fathers
see to it that more light is given at all places
where there are peculiar and frequent expo
sures. One lamp at a crossing so much used
every night by trains, carriages and peo
pie on foot as that on Mechanic street is
not enough. If one should be put up between
the two streets of Foster and Mechanic, it
would lessen the risks Of any repetition of our
present painful experience. know it may be
said that light so placed would invite travel
where it is most desirable that there should be
none; but the darkness has not prevented
travel, and will not. Quite possibly the OBJ
jector himself has been many times over this
ground, and found the saving Of steps ex-
tremely convenient. He may be there again
and again. In that event, lie and hundreds

DRUNKENNESS AND WIFE-MURDER-Frank
S. Wright, who murdered his wife in Haver-

but the court that will try him will not be held
until next April. A correspondent of the
Manchester American, writing from Haverhill
gives the following account of this atrocous
murder -
HAvERHILL, ~ H., Nov. 26, 1859.-About

On arriving at his home in Woodville, between
10 and IL o'clock, he drank once more, and
then went directly to bed, and slept soundly
until between 2 and O'Clock p. NJ.
When he arose from bed he went into the
room where his wife and four children were
sitting, also his sister, Mrs. Eliza Cameron,
who was on visit to his house, and Geo. w.
Campbell, young man who is brother of
his wife, and who resided in his family. He
| spoke to his sister in sharp tone, saying,
God d--m you, Eliza, l want you to leave
my house. She did not reply to him, but
went immediately into an adjoining room to
put on her bonnet and shawl. As she passed

turned to his brother-in-law, MIR. Campbell.

manner, "ffe shall never carry you away from
this house" and then turning to Mr.. c., who
was starting to leave, he said, 81 want you
should gor' As Mr.. Campbell was stepping
towards the door lie looked back and saw
Wright make thrust towards his wife with
something in his hand A second glance con-
WINGED him that Wright held in his hand
large butcher knife about fourteen inches long,
with which the family cut meat.
He halted at the door, and was about to de-
fend his sister, when Wright dropped his wife
whom he held by one hand and pursued Mr..
c., and stabbed at him with the knife as he
was passing out OF the door. He cut the coat
of Campbell, but inflicted no wound. He then
rushed at his wife and stabbed her in the breast
three times, inflicting awful wounds. He exhib-
tied tremendous strength, and seemed imbued
with the spirit of demon. Mrs. Wright fell
to tile floor, screaming "Why Frank Wright
what do you meant" He made no reply but
continued his mnrderous work. The first blow
of the knife was evidently parried in measure
by the sternum, against which the blade of the
knife lodged-the second blow or stab, inflicted
a wound three inches in length, severing the
cartridges from four or five of the ribs. The
third and evidently the last stab, or blow of
the knife terminated her life Instantly. He
struck directly at her heart inticting terrible
wound Sir inches deep, piercing her heart near
its centre, and passing through the heart about
two aud half inches dividing the right ven
tricle. Blood flew all over the room and near
ly saturated the murderer.
Her sister had been in another room dress
ing, and, hearing the screams of his wife, rush
ed into the room, saying, "Why, Frank, what
are you doing 2" Seeing the blood on him,
and his murdered wife, she ran towards the
door, pursued by Wright, VINO stabbed her on
the back, cutting through her clothing, and
making flesh wound near her shoulder. She
made good her escape.
Wright then took one of his little children
who was crying beside its murdered mother,
and with loaded gun, and the bloody butcher
knife, went into the bedroom and laid down
on the bed. Whether he intended to cut the
Threats OF his children cannot now be deter
mined, as his brother in law, Mr.. Campbell,
with Messrs. Hasking, King, Chamberlin, and
Waters, rushed into the room, and, with Mr..
Slack of Wells River, succeeded in overpow
ering him. and binding him with ropes. 1t
was about dark, when the murderer was thus
secured.
