UNLUCkY BREAKFASTS.

Two Molli4 Maguires were hung in
Mauch Chuak, Pa last week Scarce
ly had they been swung oft when a
messenger handed the sheriff a tele-
gram granting reprleve tor a week.
Their lawyer had gone to Harrisburg
10 see the governor. He was absent
from town bu! got home at midnight
He promised to eae the lawyer after
an early breakfast next morning. Un'
fortunately bis breakfast was late that
morning bnt he granted the reprleve
Meantime the sheriff aud prisoners
were having an early breakfast and
hnrrying things up. The sheriff wap
so prompt that he had bis men
dropped at 1886. The governor &
telegram reached him at 10 81. The
friends were Wild with excitement
They denounced The she'itfs haste.
But the priest spoke up and frankly
said he had fixed the hour. The men
were ready. There need be no fuss,
their souls were in heaven. 1t does
not matter now, the men would have
been hung at any rate, but it must be
regarded as q very unlucky clash Of
official breakfast hours.

SAD SUICIDES.

The morning papers TEEN with &C
counts of suicides. Some from bust
ness troubles, some from crime, some
from intemperance, some try suicide
but don't succeed. They Jump into a
river but a policeman fortunately sees
and rescues them. After they get
dry clothes on and brea he freely again
they gre very thankful. But others
shuttle off this mortal coil from very
trivial cause. A schoolgirl in Pala'
tine, Ill.,, tried to drown herself be-
cause she could not get her compost
ton" ready. A prominent politician
in Lansing, Michigan, was posted for
speech. 1t made him nervous, final
" stark mao, and he stabbed himself
with paper cutter. A Baltimore
medical student had difficult thesis
to prepare. He gave up the conun'
drum in despair and took laudanum,
A touching case is that told by ar
Iowa ,aper of beautiful girl named
Jemima Jones. 1t is very cad to see
the young and beautiful fling away
life as they would faded flower
But the heart has its sorrows, may be
a single sorrow, which makes life all
agony. What clouded Jemma's life
gloom was her name. Her doting
parents thought not Of the fItnre
when they gave her such name
But it was provoking name and for
her life she could not transfer it into
any pet shape as her friend Mary could
hers into Minnie or Mamie. So life
LOST all its charms. She could not
endure it longer. One morning she
did not appear as usual. She was
found all lovely in her bed, but life
less. 1t was a rash and premature
act The very next day came letter
from a class mate addressing her as
dear darling Minnie. " That letter
might have saved her life. But il came
too late. Her casket was heaped with
flowers and borne to the grave by
eight companions named respectively:
Abbie, Bessie, Carrie. DoIlie, Elite,
Florie, George and Hattie, Her pa,
rents have marked the spot with a
neat white shaft bearing the simple
inscription, Minnie"
