Crowded round our neighbor's way,

For the lack OF thrifi and gain
Leaving on his heart shadow,
Leaving on oar heart a stain.

Held by gentle blessings there
Would We turn away all trembling,

While 'tis only birds OF Edeu
Just in mercy flying past.

Quivering through the heart Of pain,
Would our womanhooi dare doom them
Back 10 hauuts OF vice and shame.

Free Baths in New York.

The first of two free baths in New York
city was launched on Thursday at Green
Point, and soon after towed into position at
the foot of Fifth street, East river. The
bath resembles a huge box with platform
about eight feet wide Surrounding and over
hanging the upper edge. Under this plat
form are eight pontoons, four on each side,
each cf which is sixteen feet long and six
feet vide, for supporting the weight of the
craft in the water. The depth to which the
bath is sunk is regulated by means of a
patent valve in each pontoon, by means oil
which sufficient weight of water may be
admitted TO the pontoons to sink the bath
to such depth as will best accommodate
the bathers. The bath is ninety feet long
by sixty feet wide on the outside, and forty
by ninety on the inside. The sides are of
solid planking down to the waters edge,
and below that they are formed of stout
slabs to allow free ingress and egress OF the
water. Over the platform surrounding the
edge is to be erected structure completely
| inclosing the bath, and containing
about eighty dressing rooms, each
five by four and a half feet, open
ing toward the center of the bath,
and with door in each connecting
| with passage running round the whole.
Over the center OF the south side of the
bath this structure will be two stories high,
forming the entrance to the bath, and af-
fording apartments for the keeper in the
second story, twenty-four feet long by
twelve wide. The baths will be ready for
use within month. The other bath is
destined for the north side of the city, and
will probably be laid in the vicinity o
Thirteenth street. The building of tn
baths was commenced about nine days ago
They will cost about $2G GGG.

A Sad Affair.

A Berlin, Prussia, letter of the I'd OF
June relates this sad story:
[ have 10 record the death by suicide of
young American, haling from West Rox-
bury, Mass, who had been pursuing his
musical studies here at the Kullack Conser-
vatory for about eight months. In fit of
utter dependency, most unusual in a youth
of nineteen years of age, he went into a
wood about four miles from this city, and
deliberately blew out his brains with pis-
tol he had but newly purchased, as evident
from the price ticket still attached thereto.
On his person we're found, among private
effects, such as watch, money, &C., peck
ct book, containing q most minute account
of daily expenditures since his landing at
Hamburg, and which sufficiently denoted
him most orderly, economical and pru-
dent young man. A separate entry showed
that he had at the time considerable bal
ance in his bankers hands Previous to
the rash deed he had written letters in pen

tives, among which the following, suffi-
