m.e..w.I and neaertIon.

A sad case of betrayal and desertion came
10 the knowledge Of the police, yesterday.
Some three months ago q recruiting officer
ofihe First ARTILLERY, named Robert Johnson,
while recruiting in Cambridge, Henry
County, formed the acquaintance Of young
and beautiful girl, named Matilda Buck. He
succeeded in winning her affections, and
under promise Of marriage, brought her to
this city and effected her ruin. He took her
to the Lake House, where they stopped as
man and wife; he all the time persistently
refusing to fulfill his promise of marrying
her. He then took her to disreputable
house known as 1.-THE Home" where he not
only introduced her 10 the society of the
vilest and most depraved of her own sex,
but endeavered to induce her to become one
of their number, by habit as well as associa-
ton.
Failing in this he subjected her to harsh
and brutal treatment and finally deserted
her entirely. Yesterday she endeavored to
commit suicide by taking large dose of
ether, which was fortunately elected from
her stomach. The following note was found
upon table, written by the wretched girl
while contemplating speedy death:
"Robert-Remember what you promised
me when you brought me from home. You
have misused me badly. You know what
have done for you, and how have you
treated me Now, bid you good-by for
ever in this world, but beg you to remem
Der the promises that you have made TO me.
want you to keep my likeness and my sis
ter's, and do one thing for me: Write to my
sister, and tell her that l have died Now,
Robert must leave you, but never ruin
another girl as you have ruined me. |
thought, when l left home with you, that I
had friend, but have proved to be my
enemy. You can not come before God aud
deny your promises-no, never. When l
am dead and gone, remember what you have
done. But forgive you for it, and l hope
that God will forgive you. If you give the
love that belongs to me to any other girl I
pray that the judgment of God will follow
you. Remember the promises that you have
not fulfilled. Remember how you have
misused me. Good by, forever.
MRS. MATILDA JOHNSON"

There is no method more likely to cure
passion and rashness, than the frequent and
attentive consideration of ones own weak
ness. This will work into the mind ha-
bitual sense of the need one has Of being

cause Of hasty passion.
