THE REvELRY OF DESPAIR.


The following old verses, respecting a scene
at a convivial meeting of English military
officers in East India during the fearful fever
epidemic in that country, have often been
published, though no author has been found
to claim them. Another account represents
them as having been written by an officer Of
a man-of-war wrecked on the African coast,
where nearly all died Of the plague before
succor reached them. The revel Of military
despair could not be painted in more sub
timely dismal colors than in this weird poem
We met meath The sounding raftsr.
And the walls around bare,
they echo our peal Of laughter
It seems that the dead there
But stand your glasses steady
We drink 10 comrades eyes,
Quaf a cup to the dead already.
And hurrah for the next that dies.
Not here are goblets glowing
Not here is the vintage sweet:
'Tis cold. as our hearts are growing,
And dark as the doom meet.
But stand TO your glasses steadYl
And will pulses rise
A cup the dead already
HuFrah! for the next that dies.
Not sigh for the lot that darkles;
Not 3 tear for the friends that sink;
Wen fall midst the wine-eups sparkles,
As mute the wine drink,
50 stand your glasses steady!
It's that the respite buys;
One cup for the dead already,
Hurrahl for the next that dies.
Time was when We frowned at others;
We thought wiser then;
Hai IA! let them think Of their mothers.
Who hope to them again
No! stand to your glasses. steady!
The thoughtless here tbs wise.
A cup to the dead already,
Hurrah FOR the next that dies
There's many hand that's shaking;
There's many cheek that's sunk;
But soon, though cur hearts are breaking,
They'll burn with the wine we've drunk.
So stand to your glasses steady!
It's here the revival lies,
A cup 70 the dead already,
Hurrah for the Rszt that dies.
There's mist in the glass eOngealinsi
Tis the hurrier mes fiery breath:
And thus does thu warmth Of feeling
Turn to ice In the grasp Of death.
HOi stand to yoIF glasses, steady!
For q moment the vapor flies;
cup 70 the dead already,
Hurrah! for the next that dies.
Who breads to dust returningi
Who shrinks from the sable Shore
Where the high, the naughty yearning
OF the soul shall sting mOrei
No stand to your glasses, steady
The world is a world Of liesl
cup TO the dead already
Hurrah for the that dies.
Cut Oh from the land that lore US,
Betrayed by the land ind.

And the dullost remain behind.

The music, sad as her words, and her own
voice sadder still, thrilled through the room
mournfully, startling herself, and she arose
and turned to the window. Suddenly she
heard a voice behind her, and turning, met
the same pale fair face, the same thrilling
brown eyes that had haunted her all her
life. Even then her selfpOssession was but
slightly shaken. She started as she caught
sight Of his face, but instantly recovered
herself, though seeing the old look in his
eyes, the same look he had given her that
night of their parting so long ago.
After the first greeting was over, he asked
her to sing the song again, and stood watch
ing her as she complied. He saw the old
glow come into her eyes, saw her pale face
flush and pale again beneath his steady gaze,
and as she turned from the piano, caught
her hand in a sudden passionate pressure.
Seven years ago to night, he cried L

CHAPTER ONE.
an steal the the old daughter Oldfeiow
A young grocer of good character and
correct habits, commenced business in a
good and improved neighborhood. His stock
was small as were his means, and his stock
of customers stiD smaller. His sales hardly
met his expenses, and he was evidently going
" down hill, and an old grocer on the Oppo-
site corner, predicted he would soon be at
the bottom.
The young grocer had reason to regret this
opinion of the old grocer, as will appear.
The latter had daughter that had won the
heart of the former He offered himself to
her and was rejected. 1t was done, how
ever, with the assurance that he was the man
of her choice, and that she acted in obedi-
ence to her fathers commands
Assured of the affections of the woman
Of his choice, he set himself about remov-
ing the obstacle in the way of their union
the fathers objection to his pecuniary pros
poets.

A year elapsed, and 10 what change
The young grocer now going up hill, with
the power Of a steam locomotive, customers
focked to his.store from all quarters, and
even many had left the old established stand
on the opposite corner, for the young favor
tie. There was a mystery about it " hich
puzzled the old grocer sorely, and which he
could not unravel He at length became
nearly sick with losses and aggravatiOns and
with vain attempts to discover the secret of
his neighbor's success.

A Stitch in Time.

From the German Reformed Messenger.
certain instrument was lately left at our
Orphans Home at Bridesburg. The little folks
crowded around it, asking all manner OF ques
perhaps. And then we shall have music, and
our teacher will play when we sing our hymns.
A lady threads needlelike wire on the top,
puts Liece of cloth under it, then sets its little
wheels rafting off a ripiddyrapiddy tune, stitch
ing a beautiful seam along the border. Why, it
sews said one. Oh a sewing machine Gro
yer j. Baker have made present of one of their
800 sewing machines to the orphans. For this
gift the Board of Managers hereby return them
their cordial thanks.
If "a stitch in time saves nine," how many
will fifty in time save Why, this thing will
almost make the sleeve of dress while you are
threading needle In sooth, it takes many a
stitch to keep all these little bodies warm and
tidy, as our numerous kind friends can testify,
who have spent whole weeks, of late, making
garments for them.
But many things are needed besides those that
are sent there. True, some OF the little gIrs
can help to sew; but this thing can sew more in
five minutes than the whole Of them in an hour.
Quite an institution we should call this Grover
& Bakers gift. ....... .......
So we are told by the busy people at cur home.
AS for us, we are no judge OF this sort of implc-
ments. What do we know about sewing about
ripping bad seam, or IN Aking it rapidly and
right? We are looking at it through the eyes OF
those who know all about it, And they say, for
family use, it is the best machine eXtant. The
standard OF our judgment is simply this. Those
that are kind to our orphans we can recommend
to our friends, in whatever honorable business
they may be engaged. Grover u Baker make
good sewing machines. They have done very
kind act for worthy charitable institution, II
you need anything in their line, give them q call

DISTRESSING CASE OF SUICIDE THIS
MoRNNG.-About ten minutes before IL o'clock
this morning, an elderly man, named Andrew
M. Cranel, residing in frame dwelling house
on the east side Of Third street, below Green,
next door to the Eleventh Ward Station House,
committed suicide by shooting himself through
the right temple with pistol. The deceased
was q coffee roaster and transacted business on
Hermitage street, near Third and Green, and
was about 62 years of age.
The unfortunate man has been somewhat de-
mented for some time, and has made various
threats at different periods that be would make
away with himself. This morning he left the
house without saying anything to his family,
and proceeding to gun store purchased pis-
toi, with which he returned to his house, On
entering he passed through the lower room,
where his daughter Christianna was engaged in
preparing dinner, and, without making any re.
mark or betraying any unusual emotions, he
proceeded at once to the second story front
room. A moment or two afterwards his daugh-
ter heard the report Of the pistol, and, running
up s'airs, found her father lying! in the centre
of the room on the floor, with a pistol by his
side, hands stretched out, and surrounded by a
pool OF blood. His overcoat had been taken off
and deliberately and carefully laid on the bed.
The ball passed directly through the head,
coming out at the left temple, causing instanta-
neOus death.
Mr.. Granel has been The object of much solici
tude on the part of his family since May last
he has been constantly talking about commit
ting suicide, and seemed to favor the method of
cutting his throat. Not long since he was found
in a neghboring stable with a rope around his
neck, and would probably have hung himself
had he not been interfered with. The deceased
is a widower, with three or four grown-up chill
dren. At one time he was a captain of the
watch in the Eleventh Ward.
Coroner Taylor held an inquest very shortly
after the sad occurrence, and the Jury returned
a verdict OF death by suicide.
