A TERRIBLE JOURNEY.
Wandcriugs Of am Insane Man
Through the snow ian Jersey,

Among the boarders in family of 4
Mrs. McCabe, on West Newark avenue,
Jersey City, is Thomas Brannon. lie has
recently suffered from typhoid fever to
such degree that bis mind became affect
ed, and he has been frequently delirious
About eight o'clock on Sunday night he
arose from his bed and quietly passed out
of the house, unobserved by any of the
inmates. The only clothing that covered
his body was an undershirt, pair of
drawers and a stocking on one foot. In
this condition he set out across a bleak
section of the meadow fiat for the country
workhouse at Snake Hill, and O more
dreary, 1heerless journey, in even the
mildest winter, it would be difficult to
trace within twenty miles of Jersey City.
Through the wild waste of trackless snow
for distance of four miles wandered the
raying man. He must have been insen.
Sible to suffering or he would have sue
cumed to the attacks of the keen biting
frost. Yesterday morning at six o'clock
one Of the keepers at the Panitentiary in
Snake Hill saw a man clinging to the bars
of one of the windows, and observing that
he was in an almost nude condition, he
fastened to his relief. This man was
Brannon. His hands were frozen to the
bars and were SO stiff that it was with
difficulty he could be extricated. The
extremities, in short bis whole body, was
frozen and there were no indications of
life. AS the keeper remarked when he
called for assistance, "Come out; there is
corpse hanging out Of the window" The
resident physician, however, applied res,
toratiye, and with such success the wretch
ed man returned to consciousness so that
he could speak. He now lies in q preca>
rious condition at the hospital.

THE PARTING HOUR.

There's something in the "partlnghour'
VIII chill the warmest heart,
Yet kindred, comrades lovers, friends,
Are fated all to part.
But this I've seen-and many pang
Has pressed it on my mind
The one who goes is happier
Than those he leaves behind.
No matter what the journey be,
Adventurous, dangerous, far,
TO the wild deep or bleek frontier,
TO solitude or war,
Still something cheers the heart that
dares
In all of human kind,
And they who go are happier.
Than those they leave behind.
The bride goes to the brldegroom's home
With doubtings and with tears,
But does net Hope her rainbow spread
Across her cloudy fears!
Alas! the mother who remains,
What comfort can she find
But this: the gone Is happier
Than one she leaves behind.
Have you frlend-a comrade dear
An old and valued friendl
BE sure your time of,sweet concourse
At length will have an end.
And when you part--as part you will
take 1t not unkind,
If he who goes Is happier
Than you he leaves behled.
God wills 1t so, and so Il is;
1he pilgrims on their way.
Through weak and worn, more cheerful
are.
Than all the rest who stay.
And when, at last, poor man subdued,
Lies down to death resigned,
May he not still be happier far
Than those he leaves behind.

pears that the leaders of the temperance
movement will discourage praying or
singing within or in front of liquor saloons,
which they fear would lead to riotous de-
monstrations, but instead to quietly cir
culate a pledge against the use, sale, and
manufacture of any intoxicating drink,
taking this especially to saloon keepers
and the men who lease their buildings for
the sale of liquors. No visits will be
made to the fashionable club>houses, but

solved to prevent 1t by force. They have

1t is now positively asserted by those best
informed that the opening of Bayou Pla-

vile Parish, hence the opposition of the
citizens.
