 By the late HENRY T. FrsA. Written after attending the funeral of an aged rsla
 tive, April. 1888. Here at nights solemn noon cit And muse upon the dead,. While phantom thoughts around me Ait, nameless influence shed; Silence ascends her awful throne, And breaking from the misty zone Of earth, and sea, and sky;
 The costly forms advance alone, Chanting in dread funeral tone, Their theme e:-ErRRNITT. Not vainly Nature spreads her pail, And moon and stars are hid, Nor in the distance, vanish all Beneath the coffin lid: Fair forms and lips of rosy hue, Start by entertainment into view With youthful vigor girt;
 And manly figures stin pursue, As erst in hfe,-alerti Oh, can the buried dead arise And tread again the earthi Can hope and love and grief revise The traces of their birthi Shall roses bloom upon the bier, And life revive the dustf Or sorrow drop the bitter tear As faith reveals it's trustf Yes, here upon life's ebbinR tide. And meath Q distant roof, hear the fatsl shuttle glide,
 And see the mingled roof; The spectral column gliding on, With sound and accent dread, And mystic bonds again unite The living and the dead, Great Godi in mercy drop the vail Upon this ghostly train; In mercy change the awful wall To heavenly hope again; So may we stand as Moses stood, Upon come Pisgah's height, And over Deaths oblivious flood Behold the promised light. There shall we meet. lfe's journey o'er, Beyond this spectral tide, And calmly on that distant shore, In peaceful rest abide: There, fairy form and rosy lip
 And manly vigor bold, In love undying all unite,
 Where love can ne'er grow cold.

SUICIDE BY DROWNING.

A Woman browns Her Child and then
Herself-Insanity the Cause-Fuu Par
ticulars.
One of the strangest and saddest circumstances
which it has been our duty to chroaicle for
long time occurred on Thursday evening, In the
suicide by drowning of young married woman
by the name of Dorette Schacht. She had been
living very happily with her husband for the
past year, previous TO which she had made seve-
raj attempts TO take her life. Before marrying
Mr.. Sehacht she had been the wife of prOmi-
nent Cleveland man-Dr. Quittenbaum. For
several years past she had occasionally shown
evidence OF unsoundness of mind, which at one
time became so marked that she was for q while
placed under medical treatment In an insane
asylum. About dusk Thursday evening she was
seen by persons walking on st. Clair street. and
to turn off from that street down Bratenahl
avenue. She was pushing before her a baby
carriage, In which was beautiful child of eight
months, which was crying az the time as though
it had instructive foreknowledge of its impend-
ing fate.
The lady passed down the avenue across the
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad
track, and turned into the premises of Mr.. w. j.
Gordon. She kept on aud crossed bridge over
NDoane's creek and left the carriage on the other
side, about two hundred feet from the lake
taking the child and other contents of the car
rage in her arms. Bearing these, she walked
down to the beach, intent on ACCOMPLISHING her
dread purpose. The next that was seen of her
after she left the carriage was by some boys on
the shore, who discovered her floating on her
back In the water, and lust as they saw her she
lifted up her hands and sunk beneath the surface.
The boys set up cry at once and went for
assistance. It being too late to save her, the
search for her body was postponed till morning.
Nothing whatever was to be seen of the child,
and she probably drowned the poor little fellow
before the boys saw her.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1871-06-27

The next morning the body was taken out of
the water and the coroner sent for. The inquest
was finished by 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and
the verdict returned that she committed suicide
by drowning while in q state of insanity. The
the unfortunate end of the innocent, helpless
boy. The little fellow was taken out of the
water at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, near
the place where his mother was found The
husband and father, deprived SO suddenly and
so terribly of "a loved wife and child, has been
almost deprived of reason by the fearful shock.
