Poetry
For the Vindicator.

MYSTIC VOICES.
Strange voices are ringing,
Weird music commingling,
Gay song birds are singing,
In grand melody
The sweet breath of flowers,
Comes fresh from loves bowersI
And blossoms in showers,
Watt true symphony.
The zephyrs soft wooing;
The doves low sad cooling
And maidens besretwing,
The way with their smiles;
Here are yio!ets SO lowly,
And Passion flower holy,
And Heliothrope my glory,
To drown with there wiless
In held by the simmer
OF bright waters glimmer--
And vote, Pm thinner
In fancys wild race;
The oaks tar above me-
Friends near me that love me
Even now they may prove me
In warmest embrace.
Oh loves owl pure breathing,
And tender words wreathing,
Came gushing and seething-
Less into my soul:
So high so exalted the heavenly feeling
So rich and SO full the sounds that are
pea!ing
The prone limbs sink reeling, Keeling and
kneeling
Beyond my control!

Strange Felo De Sc.

On Friday. says the Washington Cron-
icle, of May 18th. at the Metropolitan Ho-
tel, New York, Mr.. Edmond Baron,
Frenchtitan, was found dead upon his bed,
with Surgical instruuient called calling
10 his hand, With which lie Had inflicted u
fatal Hound In tie region of the heart A
previous unsuccessful attempt at suicide had
been made with morphine. Mr. Baron had
also thought of shooting Eiluself, but had
desisted out Of regard for the feelings of
those occupying the next ROOM. The cause
of the act was was probably depressing Of
spirits, brought on by losses of property
Mr.. Baron had once possessed great wealth,
but had been reduced to e. comparatively
slender income.
The most remarkable feature CT the case,
perhaps, is a will left by deceased, bequeath-
lug his body to DR. Wesse, with the request
that tie skeleton shonld he nicely Set aud
placed sdlnewkere in his Office. The docu-
lnent runs as follows: Il hereby bequeath
my body to my talented and some day OF
other i!lustrious. Dir. L. Duncan Weisse, of

duesting him to set up my skeleton nicely,
and to place it somewhere in his Office. The
best means to effect it, probably, are the fol-
lowing To take the flesh off the bones with
a knife as much as possible; to cut out q
small piece of the skull with a trepan and
pull the brain out; to pierce holes in the
Shaft Of every long bone with small gim-

law whose direct object was to do away
with all speculation whatever, it could not
lave succeeded better than it has, at least
