DEATH OF Poor YoUSG MAN.-On the morning
of class day the sophomore class buried one OF
their number, who literally died from the want
of the necessities of life, and that, too, right
here at Harvard College. Only year ago, fresh
from a farm seventeen miles from Buffalo, N T.,
raw, green lad of twenty-five applied 1or ad
mission to the sophomore class. His awkward
manner and uncouth bearing won for him the
name of Greeny." Only last week was he
missed from recitation, and away up in little
ten by twenty attic room of a rickety old board
ino-house somebody said he was dying of typhoid
fever. Ex-President Peabody. the good Samari-
tan of Harvard, heard of his distress, and repair


ing to his room found the poor boy really in the
arms of death For a year had his only food
been bread and water, and sometimes little
milk, and often one meal day suficed. His
room was small and poorly ventilated, and by
the feeble light of an old oil lamp had the poor
fellow worked eighteen hours of twenty-tour
each day. These facts quickly coming out, eve
rything that could be done was done His last
hours made comfortable a sympathiz-
ing and conscience-stricken neighborhood could
make them. His broken-hearted mother came to
carry her sons body home, and she must have
been overjoyed to learn what would have only
little before given her son so much happiness to
have known, that he was the first scholar in his
class and to receive the first scholarship, which
yields cozy little income of three hundred dol
lars per year. But it was too late his pride
would never allow him to complain his ambi-
ton continually spurred on. We recollect him
passing every day he never looked up; we all
can recall his hurried walk, his sad countenance,
his pale lamp always feebly twnkling at mid
night his running round the corner with loaf
of bread under his arm, his going out m the
severest storms without umbrella or overcoat.

! BRIGHAM on THE RAMPAGE.-The Salt Lake
Union Tedette says " The old boy boiled over
on Sunday, in the Bowery. He damned and de-

tiles too, till the whole audience got excited and
hallooed out h amen. Evidently he is getting
desperate or getting dotted.
