Attempted Suicide from Want--A Man
Unsuccessful in Seeking Employ
ment Takes Poison.

'-~>PsSu ~usOAuO AAOnA w uut--A wan
Unsuccessful in Seeking Employ
ment Takes Poison.
A man, whose name we withhold by request,
was found, on Sunday morning last, in an out
house belonging to building on Front-street,
near Western-r0w, in an apparently moribund
condition, but whether from cold or disease
could not ct first be definitely determined. He
was taken up by those who found him and car
red into the house, whom physician was
summoned, who found his pulse heavy and
the patient covered by cold sweat, which
led hin. to believe that it was case Of at
tempted self destruction by laudanum.
A stomach-pump was immediately procured,
and his system thus relieved of the poisonous
drug. By the aid Of the proper restoratives
the man gradually recovered from the stupor
into which he had been thrown, and was yes
terday In such condition as to be able to give
an account of himself.
He stated that he arrived in the city between
TWO or three weeks ago from Indiana, where
ne left a wife and family who were entirely
dependant upon his exsrtions for support, for
the purpose Of seeking employment and q
livelihood here. Since that time he has ira
versed the different thoroughfares Of the
metropolis, begging in vain for privilege to
toll.
Wearied at length and disgusted with his
condition; out Of money and on the point of
starvation; compelled to sleep in the station
houses or freeze to death with the cold; una
bic to return to his family or to provide for
them, he determined to die, and for this pur-
pose, by asking for money, he procured suf-
hcient to purchase the potion, which, but for
the circumstances Of having been found, would
have released him from life that has become
too heavy to be borne.
He is still LII, not having entirely recovered
from the effects Of the poison; but In the
hands Of persons who will assist and furnish
him with the kind Of aid and sympathy he
seems most 60 need.

TEE Love OF THE NUN FOR rHH MYRTLE

TIE LOVE OF THE NUN FOR THs MYRTLE
VIsE.-A young German lady writes as fol-
lows to her lover, of a nun she met in Europe:
She kept 1t, winter and summer, in her cell;
she accommodated herself, in everything, to It's
wants; day and night she gave It air, and In
winter, only as much warmth as was necessary
for 1t. How did she feel herself rewarded,
when II was covered with budsl She showed
them to me, when they were scarcely set;
helped to cherish It; every morning filled the
cruise at st. MagdsIen's well; the buds grew
and became red; at last they opened; on the
fourth day it stood there In full blossom; each
blossom, o white cell, with a thousand rayed
arrows In the midst, each Of which bore pearl
upon Its point. 1t stood at the open window;
the bees greeted II. - llf ~
Now first know, that this tree Is conss-
Grated TO love; then I did not know it, and
now understand II. Tell me, can love be
more sweetly cherished than this tree9 and
can tender care be more sweetly rewarded,
than through so full bloom? All, the dear
nun, with half-faded roses on her CHEEKS, en-
veloped In white, and the black Grape veil
which foated around her quick, elegant gait,
as, from out the wide sleeves Of the black
woollen garment, she stretched her beautiful
hand to water the lrworsi Once she placed q
little black bean in the earth; she gave II me,
and said should cherish Il, and | should
have delightful surprise.
It soon began to shoot, and showed leaves
like trefoil; Il twined up little stalk, like the
vetch, with little ringed hooks; then II pro-
duced scanty yellow buds; out Of this grew, aa
big as . hazel nut, little green egg, with
brown rings. The nun broke 1t of, pulled II
out by tho stalk into o chain Of elegantly ar
ranged thorns, between which the seed, con-
sitting Of little beans, had become ripe. She
plated crown Of 1t, laid il at the feet Of her
ivory Christ, on the crucihx, and told me this
plant was called "Oorona Christi.n

ACCIDENT TO TIE FERRY-BoAT CovIHeroN.-.
Yesterday, while the ferry boat Obvington was
crossing the river, toward Cincinnati, 1t en-
countered body Of Ice, by which the hull
was 80 badly perforated that it became neces.
ssry to tow II into the Licking for repairs.
CrscrNNArr AND CovIseros BRrpas.-We
understand that there are indications that the
work on the Cincinnati and Covington Bridge
will be resumed next summer. Be this as II
may, the present condition and future prog
pect Of the river certainly demonstrate the
necessity of speedy action in regard to this
matter. seJ
We are unwilling to conosds that any other
oity, as large and wealthy a. Cincinnati, and

We are without one. sss y. 4
Tho trade Of central Kentucky is directed
almost exclusively toward Cincinnati, but the
interruptions which 30 frequently intervene
during the winter, occasioned BY the ice in
the river, are productive Of serious losses to
the city merchants, and q great inconvsnieno
to the people OF the country.
For nearly two months Of the year the Ken
tucky trade Is rendered stsgnant by the un-
certainty Of constant communication between
tho two shores Of the Ohio. Tho only prsc-
teal and effeotusl remedy to be applied TO
this d, the speedy completion Of the bridge
over the river. With proper effort, two years
will be ample time to secure its erection.

Of delivering tho money, appropriated the
greater portion Of II, and left for parts un-

Benevolent Magdalens - A Suffering
Family Relieved by the Aid of Lo-

rettes.
Our issue Of yesterday contained o para.
graph stating that a man named Saunders,
with his wife and ten children had arrived In
this city from Nebraska, and were at the
Hsmmond-street Station -hause, penniless,
starving and half dead with the auguo. Early
yesterday morning they were visited by several
women, each of whom gave them not only kind
and sympathetic words, but also money, that
they might be enabled frat, to relieve their
wants and afterward to reach their relatives in
Ironton, to which place, 1t appears, they had
concluded to return, after long and painful
journey to tho West.
We are aware that the principle we call
benevolence often manifests itself in those from
whom it is least expected; but we confess to
having been somewhat surprised whom we
learned that this decd Of charity had been per-
formed by lorettes. Lady Amaranth says that
"one good deed is an illustrious pedigree;"
one such act Of kindness as that we have just
recorded, Is sufficient to cover thousand
errors. This story, simple as 1t is, would fur
nibh text for volume Of sermons, and the
act In itself would seem sufficient to atone fol
all their previous years Of shame.
