Il would be almost unbecoming to make any
commonplace commentaries on the above
eloquently mournful aud brutally cruel
yet simple statement OF facts that
actually occurred yesterday. Mr.. Wal
pole, the city editor of the Picayune was to be
married on the 10Th Of this month to Miss Men
ME M. Pritchard, whom he dearly loved, and
who, in return, had given him her hearts ear
nest affections. Yesterday, while he was attend
ing to his editorial duties, the gloomy messen-
ger called him to her bedside, where hurrying,
he found the woman that he loved hopelessly
struck by sudden disease, and on the point OF
death. Love is stronger than death. and the
dying girls last wish was accomplished. A min
lister was summoned, and she was welded
to her affianced, thus giving her
heart to husband, at the same
time that her soul was turning in irresistible
upward flight towards God. Words are not ade-
quate, under such misfortune, to the impossible
task Of consolation. We can therefore only tender
in sincere sympathy the condoling hand OF
friendship to the bereaved one.
