large heaps in the meadow near the barn.
Little circles were formed so that conversa.

Frenchman, who, having resolved to be rid
of life, went, a little before high tide, to a posi-
set up by the sea tide. He hal provided
himself with ladder, a rope, pistol, bun
die Of matches and a vial of poison Ascrn-
ding the ladder, he tied one end of the rope
to the post, and the other end around his neck:
then he took the poison set his clothes on fire,

Kicked away the ladder. In kicking down the
ladder he slopsd the pistol so that the ball
missed his head aud cut through the rope by

Scnntor johnson.

The patriotic devotion Of this gentlemen to
the Union has won for lin reputation en-
ioyed by no other Senator from the entire
Sou,h. He is self-madc man. Left an or.
phan at an early age, without property and
without friends, he was bound apprentice to
tailor, whom he served for seven years. He
never attended school day in his life, and
painfully taught himself to read by perseyor-
ing efforts after his daily labor upon the shop
board. At the age of twenty he married,
and his wife taught him o write and cipher
Within two years he was chosen mayor OF
Greenvillc where he had settled after remoy-
ing from his native State OF North Carolina,
and five years later he was elected to the !. e,
isIature. In 1843, at the age of 35, he was
sent to Congress where he remained ten years
when he was elected Governor Of Tennessee;
aud after Cling the Office for two years, he
was chosen 5 .nator Of the Uai.ed safes in
1857. The high personal qualities which
have raised Mr.. johnson, in the face of such
disadvantages from the position of Jour
neyman tai or TO that of United States S.na-
tor were strkingly shown in the recent ses-
sion of the Senate, where his brilliant and
overwhelming replies to General Lane com
manded universal admiration, while his man

4 WORD FOR THE HOUR.
BY JOHN C. WHITTIER

Tho 6rmamcnt breaks up. In black eclipse
Light after light goes out. One evil star,
Luridlv glaring through the smoke of war;
As m the dream Of the Apocalypse,
prags others down. Let us not weekly weep
Nor rashly threaten. Give as grace to- keep
Our faith and patience: wherefore should we leap
On one hand into fratrcidal fight
Or, on thc other, yield etcrncl right.
Frame lies of law. and good and i'll coniound?
What fear we? safe on Freedoms vantage ground
Our feet are planted; let Us therefore remain
In uuaycugchl calm, no means mtliod
Which truth can sanction. no Just clam denied,
The sad spectators of suicide
They break the links ct Union; shall we light
The fires of hell To weld anew the chain?
Draw we not now frecr breath,
As from our shoulders falls a load Of death
Ioathsomc as that the doomed Mczenuus bore?
Why take we up the the accurscd thing again?
Pity, forgive huturgc them back no more,
Who. drunk with passion hoist disuuon's rag
With its vile reptile blNzan. Let us press
The golden cluster ON our brave old flag
In closer union, anil, if numbering less,
Brigtcg shall shine the start which still romir
