Dear sister, who has gone from us. to

Sleep on, dear sister, sleep and take thy

Lay down thy heart upon thy Saviour

We love thee well, but Jesus loves thee

Calm is thy slumber, as an infants sleep
But thou shalt wake no more TO toll and

Thine is perfect rest, secure and deep.
Until we meet again before His throne.
Clothed in spotless robes He gives His
own,
Until we know, ever as we are known

Attempted Suicide.

Attempted Suicide.
A pretty woman giving the name
of Mrs. l.. p. Smith, of Newark, n.
j., made a desperate attempt st sui
eide at Hotel Evans, Winchester. last
Friday. The woman arrived Thurs
day night over the Cumberland Val
ley railroad from Hagerstewn, Nd,
and secured room at the hotel.
After bath she disrobed and began
making preparations for her death.
She used her clothing to stop up
creyices in the door and windows of
her room, and stuffed newspapers in
the transom. Then removing the
tip from the gas burner, she turned
the gas on full head, aud went to
bed. She failed to appear st break
fast, so about II o'clock clerk
Howard Grim went to her room to
awaken her. He detected a strong
oder of gas in the hallway, and
breaking open the door, found the
woman unconscious, apparently dead,
and the room filled with gas. After
hard work she was resusciated, and
is now out of danger. She refused
to give her history or say why she
attempted suicide. She is about 2S
years of age, and said she was born
in Chicago. She admitted that her
name was not Smith. The woman
also stated that she had turned on
the gas at midnight. She wss able
to infinitely describe her sensations,
and said she did not become uncon-
scious for five hours after turning
on the gas. She admitted in the after
noon that she had followed a man
here, and Thursday and that night
had searched for him without avail
1t is thought that she became de-
spondent over the fact that she was
penniless. The woman expressed
regret that her attempt at suicide
was not successful, and said she
