In New York, the other day, a
man named Fay put a pistol to
his forehead and pulled the trigger,
when The bullet, instead Of pene'
trating the skull, fell upon the
pavement as fiat as penny. Fay
has given up in despair the idea
of blowing out his brains.

William HnrIhurt of Cornwall

William Hurlburt of Cornwall,
Vermont, died last week of star
vation, havingseaten nothing save
what was forced into his stomach
for nearly a year, from the fear
that he should become a town
pauper, although worth about
5000, and a bachelor about sew
,enty years old.

1t seems now that Mrs. Adelaide

and may the good Lord forgive
me if it is murder"
"Now, Luke Benton" continued
Whiteman, 81 am ready. Yet
one word," and he stepped to his
side and handed him miniature.
eff I die, look at this"
"Tll ldo it now;" and with tremb-
ling fingers he undid the clasp
then let it drop from his hands as
if it had been serpent, eXclaim-
ing, "No, I'll not fight you. Take
him away, some one-take him
away, for Gods sake"
"Not fight! then you will die
like a dogs" and Whiteman raised
his weapon and motioned for the
word to be given.
It.was some time, however, be-
fore his request was complied
with. The sinewy frame OF the
gambler trembled like dry leaf
in the autumn wind; all the color
had left his face; his lips were
like ashes; his pistol was pointed
downwards and shook in his hand.
At length he succeeded, by a
mighty effert, in calming himself.
He braced his nerves--glared wild
ly around, and with all the calm
ness of despair, stood upon his
guard.
care you ready-both ready?
was asked.
eyes," came simultaneously
from two pair of lips.
"One-tWo-three-fre!" !"
The report of the pistols cut
the last word in twain. The sec
onds rushed forward and lifted the
men up again, for both had fallen.
One, however, would never breathe
more. Luke Benton had fought
his last duel-had gone to his
final account with his heart bull
let cleft. Whiteman, too, was
dangerously wounded. With his
breath bubbling forth through
blood, he called the ranger to him
and asked him for the miniature.
1t was given him-the fair face
of a young man. He covered it
with bloody fngers-whispered,
"Bury it with me" and he, too,
had ceased to live.
With fearful eyes that form was
prepared for the grave, the ran
ger insisting that his promise to
the dead should be fulfilled to the
letter. But all saw sufficient to
satisfy them he who called him
self Whiteman was young wo-
man. And years later they found
a clue to the mystery. 1t was a
wife who had then avenged the
death of her husband--murder-
ed for saving her from dishonor!
From bloody grave in the chap
parel, she had gone to join him
she had loved so well, in the
land that lies beyond the dark
river.
Was her last act one of n?-
1t is not for us to judge of such
a thing. We know nothing of
the maddened heart and insane
brain-know nothing of the long
days and longer nights of suffer
ing-nothing of how We would
act under such circumstances
Better leave judgment to Him
who can read both the mind and
the heart, and whose will directed
the avenging bullet. None other
is without sin, and who will dare
to cast the first stone?
