LEVER OF THEE"

Asad story is connected with tho name
Of the writer of the beautiful song, ever
ofThee," which has been sung and ad-
mired by SO many in this country and in
Europe.
Foley Hall was gentleman by birth
and education. Wealthy in his right,
with large expectations, be led needless
life-not choosing his associates, but al.
lowing himself to be drawn into the society
ofths vicious His property soon disap-
pcared, and he was left without resources
suficicn. to buy bis daily bread. His
musical talents had been highly cultivated,
but, as be never needed them, he scarcely
knew to what degree they could DO made
available. In his distress, however, he
wrote the charming song, Ever Of
Thee" e.ts
A London publisher gave him one hun
bred dollars for it; but that amount. with
such spendthrift, would not last long.
He wrote other songs. bnt the money not
coming as fast as he wished, in weak
moment he forged the name Of bis pub
Usher, and although every effort was made
even by the publisher-to save him, it
was Of no use, and poor Foley Hall went
to Newgste, and died broken hearted before
bis trial came.

RELIGIOUS FANATICISM.

A strange religious fanaticism has re-
Gently broken out in New Jersey. The
peculirr form of worship developes itself
in putting, blowing, whistling, shouting.
jumping, wrestling, falling to the floor and
rolling over and kicking. Both men and
women participate. Baptism is by INN. err
sion in the village miilpond, in the dead
hour Of night. On Sunday they hold con :
tinual service, and take recess for meals
only. refusing to read a newspaper. or
even to receive letter on that day.
They permit no persons excepting those
belonging to the Band to join them in
singing or jumping, or any other Of their
exercises, although no objection is made
to tho attendance Of outsiders. John
Rhinesmith, wealthy farmer, is the chief
man among them. Recently this leader
Of "Johoyah's Band" baptized convert
in his mill-pond, amid uncarthly cries,
tho whole gang at one time shouting
fire !" to the alarm Of others in the
neighborhood, it being then after mid
night. The fanatics, when jumping, soy
their "spirits" rise far above their bodies,
and that were they dancing upon look
ing-glass, not so..much as q bruise or a
scratch cosld be seen. At the meetings
. dozen will be on the floor at ence,
pounding and kicking, the women shrick-
ing in the widest manner, and Others
praying, whistling or putting, rs iffor q
wager. And yet, Us ridiculous as appears
ills newly perfected religion, it is making
considerable headway.

COMFORTABLE SUICIDES.
An exchange says comfort keeps pa.

An exchange says comfort keeps pace
with civilization, or possibly the two terms
are nearly synonymous. Unpleasant
duties will always exist, but tie g ow,h Of
civilization tend, to make their perftrmauco
easier and less distasteful. The ordinary
! business Of life is now transacted far more
easily than it was twenty years ago,
thanks to telegraphs, underground rail-
ways, concrete pavements, and other
modern convenienccs. And now the
friends Of the art ofsuicide have become
imbued with what New England people
call "prOwgress," and are making the act
of self-des'ruction as easy and comfortable
as possible. In place of clumsily blowing
ones head to pieces with an uncertain
charge Of buckshot CT with an unreliable
pistol-ball, one can now avail on.'s self Of
the sweet. boon of nitro glycerine, and by
its aid suddenly blow head, body. and the
entire animated noighberhood into min
utely committed and utterly irrctrievable
smash. Drowning, too, has been vastly
improved. We now no longer jump
roughly into muddy mill-ponds, or coarse'y
and iLartistically ol.oks ourselves in Shiny
ferryslips. There is now better way Of
drowning, andi was only the other day
illustrated by an unknown suicidal arts

A STRANGE CASE.
TUE slErrlso BEAUTY OF TENNESSEE.

Aletter from Union City, Tennessee,
to tho Louisville Commercial, says:
So much has already been written in
regard to the lady known here as the
Sleeping Beauty" that I car sea cely
hope to give you anything new, but will
add ny testimony TO that already given,
and make you plain statement Of facts.
~ know them from her mother, brother
and friends who now have her in charge
in the same house in which l nm stopping,
and from which / am now writing to you.
Miss Susan Caroline Godsay was born ia
ObiOn county, Tennessee, and within ten
miles Of this city, ofpoor but respectable
parents. Her father has been dead for
over twelve years. Her mother stilllives
and watches over her loved child, and the
sunken eyes and furrowedlbrow show very
plainly the trials and sorrows she has ex-.
perieuced in her duty for tsea y,sS.ono
years. She is vcty poor ss, ri. i some
extent, dspen9s Ell. On :. The contributions Of
' lsvi =. lotako care ofund procure proper
supplies for her charge.
Miss Godsay aas taken sick when abou'
four years Of ago, with what.was supposed
| to DO chills and fever, but which bufiled
the skill Of nurses and physicians fol
more than two years. at which time she
fell into a nervous sleep, from which she
has not awoke since, for longer time
than twelve minutes. She usually sleeps
sonndiy from eleven o'clock at night anti
about six in the morning, and thsough The
day awakes about once an hour, Hel
waking spells are never Of less than four
nor more than twelve, but usually about
six minutes duration.
In her waking moments she speaks
both pleasantly and intelligently, answers
promptly any questions asked her, and
appears quite happy and conten,cd.
Ono Of the strungcst points Of this
strange case is the seemingly total ab.
