THE MANIAC CHEMIST.

Years had passed since had seen the
metropolis of America-New York. l
reached the city the morning of the 23d
of May, 1856, and arriving at the house
of nv friend, Richard Carver, found 4
piece of Grape tied to the knocker.
WHO is dead?' was my mental
question. as. hesitating not, l opened
the door and entered the parlor, where
found Mr.. Carver and his wife sobbing
as though their hearts were breaking.
Mine was silent greeting, and l soon
learned the cause of my friends distress

for the tomb in the room over my head.
She had died the evening preceding
my arrival. of n strange disease, after
an illness of few short hours. Alive
in the morning-laughing at the break
fast table; but ut night dead-her sin
less soul in the haven of eternal rest.
With slow steps l accompanied the
grief-stricken father up stairs. and We
stood by the coffin which contained the
form of his beloved Carlotta. She
looked very beautiful. even in the sleep
of death-her face wore smile as If
given in response to the beckonings of
angels. Her golden hair lay upon her
white-robed breast, crossed by her
snow-white hands. l laid my hand
upon the beautiful tresses. inwardly
wishing that might become the posses
sor of one.
At that moment Mr.. Carver, as if
divining my thoughts, stopped, severed
one of the locks of the lovely dead, and
placed il in my hand.

of you favor" here he brushed the
tears from his eyes. .'Some one must
