A Renaissance of a Tragedy.

A correspondent tells the following
sad story: Michael Mcfarland (the bro
ther of Daniel Mcfarland, the murderer
of Albert d. Richardsen), who died in
testite at the Bellevue Hospital the
other day, was formerly periodical
dealer and stationer near the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. BY the strictest frugal
ity he had made $50, 900, every penny
of which he clung to with mercenary
tenacity. Two years before the murder
he was on the worst terms with and
bitterly denounced his brother. But,
after the latter had driven away his
wife, and assumed that Richardson was
the cause of her leaving, the stationer
took sides with his relative, and urged
him to kill the journalist declaring,
again and again, that he himself would
kill the william" if his brother did
not. Daniel had no money-indeed,
he had been dependent on his wife for
years-and Michael told him he should
have the necessary means to employ
counsel, if he would only shoot Rich
ardson.
With so constant prompting and
pressing, the deed was done, and Nc
Farland, helped by his brothers money
and the influence of the Tammany Ring,
was acquitted. The trial cost Michel
everything he had Having been driv-
en- into bankruptcy, he quarreled gain
with the murderer, and for months
past has been speaking of Daniel as a
fool, scoundrel, assassin, and l know
not what. The loss of his money prey
ed upon him sorely, for he had been
almost a miser. He declared he could
not live, and was anxious, he said, to
make some reparation to the lady who
had been his brothers wife. He never
saw her, however, and, after wanderin g
about the streets, penniless, wretched,
bitter, and conscience-stricken, he fell
in the street in an epileptic fit, was car
ried to the hospital, and buried in Pot
ter's Field. Truly, time does bring
ab ,ut its revenges, and in ways that
nole of us may anticipate.

A few years sso. Mt the Eglinton
tournament in England, " appeared
that the famous knights of three and
four centuries ago must have been
smaller even than the Englishmen OF
to-day, for IL was impossible to put on
their armor. And now como vital sta
tistics to prove that we are more hardy
and longer-lived than our fathers. The
statistics kept at Geneva since 1860
show that the average term OF life has
been steadily lengthcning; At that
time the average was only ~ years IL
is now 40. In .he 18th century the
average mortality in Paris vas one IN
l6; the rate has been reduced !. our
day to one in 3d. In England, less
than two centuries ago, the mortality
was one in 33; now one in AZ. The laws
of life are better understood: the com
forss Of life more widely distributed,
and habits Of living improved. Even
consumption, the fatal malady OF our
New England climate, Is yielding slow
ly to wiser method Of treatment, and
the annttal percentage OF deaths Is
smaller than 80 yeats ago. II, by sound
system of diet or exercise the copstitu-
ton of New England girls could take
on higher vitality and vigor, the out
look for the future would be hopeful.

HIS will.

An old farmer, debating his will to II
lawyer, saio: az give and bequeath to
my wife the sum of f100 a year. Is
that writ down, master?" "Yes," said
the lawyer "but she is not so old but
that she may marry again. Won't you
make any change in that case? :? Most
people do" "Ah, do they? Well,
wiite again, and say if my wife marry
again, 1 give and bequeath to her the
sum of f2OO year. Thatll do, won't
it ?" "Why, that's just double the sum
that she would have had il she had re-
mained unmarried" said the lawyer;
&" it is generally the other way" "Aye,
said the farmer, "but him that takes
her will deserve it'll"

The poor men did 80, more dead than

had been selected, the adjutant said /.
"You have deserved death but His
Majesty, the Czar, in his clemency,

Of relief, repeated again and again,
went up from the dense throng Of spec
tators. Tho soldiers, who had already
looked death in the face, were over
come by their emotions. They embraced

October.

Tho month Of September In golden,
But tho month c. tho naples is rod
The elm tree is yellow and oldon,
Its leaves are half gone from its head.
We ride in the heart OF the forest,
The lich %, are grown on each trunk
Rcd beech leaves are bruised to tho sorost,
And into wood hollows arc sunk
We scent the musk breath Of October,
The fragrance Of soft woodland smells
The green of the mosses If sober
The rainbow tnts pale in tho dells.
The spiders thin gosaamer weavings
Seem hike cotton fields against tho huo sky
Their webs are forever deceiving,
And cheat our oyes aa we'll as the flios.

their custom Of sending in to q neighbor to bor-
