An English paper by the Niagara
contains the following account oI the
suicide Of young man upon his
wedding day:
"a young man, named Francis
Baxter, son of Mr.. Thomas Baxter,
u respectable dealer in glass and
China ware, rcsilng in the High
street, kettering, was although only
eighteen years OF age, allianeed to IA
Girl two years his nnlor, named
Sarah Morris, tho daughter Of n
neishbor. Preparations had been
made for the marriage, and Christ.
mas morning fixed for the happy
event. 1t had been arranged that
another young couple, who were to
occupy apartments under the same
root. should be married at the sane
time, and this party was at church
at the appointed hour, the Clergy
man, Rov. I. ii. Mado, rector OF tue
parish, being in attendance, but the
other couple did not II pear. The
Minister, surprised at the delay, pro
cceded to marry those at the altar,
and on the ceremony being con.
cluled, sent the sexton to inquire
into the cause Of absence OF the miss
ing pair,
He retu. ned in a short time with
the melancholy tidings that tho
young man had put an end to his
life Ivy shooting himself through the
head. A fly had been engaged t.
take the couple to church, aud was
waiting at the door of the bride elect,
who was in her wedding dress, anx
iously wondering why her bctrothcd
did not make his Appearance, when
the dreadful news Was brought to
her that he had died by his own
hands in the above frightIul manner.
His body was found on the bed in,
tended for their bridal couch, a
ghastly spectacle. A pocket pistol
lay close to his left hand, AMI an
open prayer book on his pillow, and
tho portrait Of his betrothcd WAS on
a chair by his side. 1t appeared,
however. that some alteration pass
ed between him and his father, who
was opposed to the match, princi-
pally ON account of their eXlreme
youth. 1t is thought this led to the
melancholy suicide. Deceased was
a remarkable good.looking youth, Of
pleasing manners and steady con-
duct. : English Paper.

also handed to the Secretary a long

could bear. His eye kindlod with
anger, and in his passion he gave
his school fellow pretty hard blow.
Now, had George stopped to
reflect, he would probably have
thought that 80 ungenerous an act rs
exultipg ever fallen rival deserved
pity rather than anger. Bat the
worst of it is, that boys who get an.
cry neocr stop TO think. Iithoy did.
they would seldom get angry. The
Bible says that "anger rests in tn
bosom OF fools, and it is certain that
most persons, after indulging in a
fit of passion, have to confess To-
themselves, If too proud to own it to
others, that they have acted very
lioolishly. 1t vas 40 with George.
After it was all over. Go felt very
much ashamed OF having lost his.
temper. But he remembered what
his mother had said 10 him, AMI re.
solved that the defeat should not dis.
courage him from making further
Efforts.
George often found his temper SO
verely tried when at work upon his
sums. Ii he could not get the cor.
rect answer, especially alter trying
several times, it would put him very
much out of humor. This morning
when he took his arithmetic aud
slate, he resolved to be on iis guard.
1t was not long before ic found II
difficult sum. He tried it several
times, and then went with it to his
teacher. His teacher was too much
engaged to assist him then, and he
began to feel little impatient. But
he said to himself -" will try to
conquer my temper, if | cannot do
my sum ;" SO he went back to his
seat and worked upon it very pa
tiently until his teacher came tc.his
assistance. This triumph encour-
aged him great deal.
1t was not long, however, before
he met with another defeat. While
lie was home from school, at noon,
he was about seating himself in a
chair, younger brother mischicv
ously drew it away from him, and
he fell upon the floor. This pro-
vocation made him very angry
After his anger had subsidized. he felt
rather sadly TO think that he had
suffered tm0 defeats, and obtained
Gut one victory that day. Still he
said to himself:
II must not give mp go. III do, !
shall never succeed. | must be
more careful and watchful the rest
ofthe day Arthw's Home May
azine.

to havo friendly intentions, and as
nothing was noticed in their conduct
Of an aggressive nature, a converse

to them, when one of them picking

to the far west, and intimated that
stones of similar description to the
sovereign were to be picked up on
