The Man Who Killed =. Wilkes
Booth.

Boston Corbett, who shot Wilkes
Booth, lives in a little old forlorn-
looking house at Camden, N. j., where
he has been visited by correspondent
of the Philadelphia Sunday World.
This writer describe Corbett as short
10 stature, with a resolute and rather
stern face. He is about 40 years old,
very plain in dress. and his principal
boast appears to be his devotion as a
Methodist. He busily phys his trade
as halter. He lives alone in his lit
tie house, doing his own cooking and
housekeeping, and seeing nobody but
the members Of the little flock of
Methodists which meet nightly at his
house, and of which he is the head.
Heaped together in one corner of his
kitchen are half dozen rough bench
es for the use of his congregation. He
breaches and exhorts himself, and uses
Windsor chair for a pulpit. When
asked if the name of "Boston" was
not q nickname, he became rather
angry, his eyes flashed, and holding on
high Testament with the name BIOS.
ton Corbett' printed on it in black
ink, he said. pointing his finger at the
name: Young man, there is nay
name; the only one l shall ever own.
In Boston l was converted; there l
met my Redeemer, and Boston is the
only name | wish. to be called BY"
AS he accompanied his visitor to. the
gate he said: "On that eventtul
morning of my life, as l shot tho as
sassin couched like savage beast, ia
the reoesses Of tho barn, felt that |
was doing my duty to my God and my
country. TO this day | feel justified
10 my course. Were the ghosts of
twenty assassins to arise against me,
they could not disturb calm Chris

The Turn of Life.

Between the ages of forty-fve and
sixty man who has properly regula-
ted himself, may be considered in the
prime of life. His matured strength
OF constitution renders him almost i'm
pervious to an attack of disease. and
experience has given soundness to his
Judgment. His mind is resoute, firm
and equal; all his functions are in the
highest order; he assumes mastery over
his business; builds up competence
On the foundation he has laid in early
manhood, and passed through period
Of life attended by many qualifications.
Having gone over year or two past
sixty he arrives at stand still. But
:.thwart this Is the viaduct called the
arm in life, which, if crossed in safe
y, leads to the valley of "old age"
iound which the river winds and then
reyond, without boat or causeway to
fleet his passage. The bridge is, how
veI constructed Of fragile material,

whether it bend or break. Gout and
"poplexy are also in the vicinity to
waylay the traveller, and thrust him
rom the pass; bu; let him grid up his
toms and provide himself with filter
staff, and he may trudge on in safety
aud with perfect composure. To quit
metaphor. The turn OF life is turn

suicide changing his mind at the last mo-
ment, but it is seldom that one does so under
such circumstances as Henry Roberts, an old
gentleman residing in 81. Louis. He has been
suffering from asthma for long WHILE and TO
grew desperate and at oclockfn the morn
ing jumped down a well thirty feet deep. A
neighbor who witnessed the feat called for
help, and to his surprise Mr.. Roberts, Who
found drowning more serious affair than he
ha d expected, seconded his appeal with great
alacrity, When the neighbors arrived and
drew him up, it was found fhas he had only
skinned his knees. His asthma remained as
bad as ever.
