The death of Miss jackson, of this city,
on Thursday Of last week, was followed by
that of Mr.. W. L. Hudgeus the Saturday
following. The former peacefully breathed
her last after long and painful illness !;
the latter, in a paroxysm of grief burst
blood vessel and died almost instantly
The deceased were betrothed, and the con-
summation of their dreams Of love had been
deferred from time to time, until, finally,
Miss jackson was Frustrated by sickness.


Unwilling even then to be debarred her
presence, Mr.. H. was admitted to the sick
room. where none were more attentive to
the every want of the sufferer than himself,
SO far as the delicacy Of his position would
permit. A sister of Miss jackson was, for
DAYS and nights, the sharer Of his watchful-
ness. Her feeble nature, however, sank
under the burden of fatigue and sleepless
apprehension, which she vainly struggled
to sustain, and at last Mr.. Hudgens was
left alone, with barely the assistance OF a
servant The object of his solicitude and
devotion, day by day, became more feeble.
He scarcely left her bedside. Sleep be-
came stranger to his eyes, and even food
was put away by him. But even such de-
votion could not turn the penetrating barb
Of death, and finally the eyes of the suf-
ferer closed forever upon the fearful face
ever above, and her hand grew cold and
rigid in death while yet in the warm clasp
of his to whom it was so shortly to be given
in life and love. This was on Thursday.


On Friday the remains Of Miss jackson
were followed to the grave. He who had
been ever present at her bed was by her
bier. His heart went down into the grave
with the sleeper.


The day following the burial, the fatigue
to which Mr. Hudgens had subjected him.
self began to overcome him. He sank
prostrated upon his bed, and giving way to
tbe piognancy of his feelings, burst
blood-vessel, and in less than five minutes
his heart had ceased to suffer, for it was
cold forever. The next day, he too, was
followed to the tomb and placed by the
side of his betrothed.-iSt. Louis Times,

STRANGE PHENOMENON IN THE HEAv-
ENs.-The Virginia Enterprise, 10th in
slant, says:


Yesterday morning, about 23 o'clock, a
meteor or ball of fire made its appearance
IN Che western sky, and remained visible
for at least half an hour. Il was immense
in size, being apparently about as large as
the head Of a -four barrel-larger than the
moon when full. 1t was of bright, glow
ing red color, and, at intervals of few
minutes, darted forth from every side bright
rays like the straws of broom, and from
tie ends of these were sent out sparks like
those from Roman candle. Suddenly
this would cease, and only the circle or
ball of fire remained, when again the rays
would blaze out around the whole circum-
ference of the central ball. In company
with Mr.. Hayton, doorkeeper Of Piper's
Opera House, we watched this strange
meteor for at least half an hour, when il
went down behind Mount Davidson, still
blazing and sputtering forth sparks and jets
of FIRE. It appeared to move with the rest
of the heavenly bodies-no faster or slower
and went down behind the mountain as
steadily as would have been the case with
the moon itself 1t was impossible tojudgt
as to the distance of the meteor. 1t ap
peared near enough to have been in the
atmosphere Of the earth, indeed appeared
to be but few miles away, yet it ma.
have been world on FIRE, millions of mile
awav. It's intermittent action and the We
hemence with which the rays and spark
were darted forth was the most wonderful
part of the phenomenon-though it wa
sufficiently wonderful to see such an i'm
mense ball Of FIRE hanging over the western
horizon, even in its quiescent state. l
was the straugest sight we ever saw in tn
heavens, and we would have cheerfully be
10 cents that the end of all things was a

BLAcKBERRY WrsE.-There is no wine
equal to the blackberry wine when properly
made, either in favor or for medical purpo-
ses, ana all persons who can conveniently
do so, should manufacture enough for their
own use every year, as it is invaluable in
sickness as tonic, and nothing is better

to every gallon adding one quart of boiling
water. Let the mixture stand twenty four
hours. stirring occasionally then strain of

GUARD AdAINsr VulGAR LANGUAGE.
There is as much connection between
the words aud the thoughts as there is
between the thoughts and the actions.
The latter is only an expression Of the
former, but they have a power to react
upon the soul, and leave the stain OF
corruption there. A young man who
allows himself to use one vulgar or pro
fame word has not only shown that
there IS a foul spot upon his mind, but
by the utterance Of that word be ex-
tends that spot, and inflames it, TILL by
indulgence, it will pollute and ruin the
soul BE careful Of your words as Of
your thoughts.


II yon can control the tongue that no
improper words are pronounced by It
yoa will soon be able also to control the
mind, and save it from corruption. -
You exiinguish the fire by smothering
lt or by preventing bad thoughts from
bursting into language. Never utter a
word anywhere which you would be
ashamed to speak in the presence Of the
most refined female or the most relig-
ious man Try this practice a little
while, and you viii soon have command
Of yourself.

The purpose Of the agricultural department
in the Cornell University is not only to enable
young men to earn support while they are
studying, but to teach them how to be good
farmers. A correspondent reminds us that one
of the first essentials of farm is good
housekeeper, and asks if the domestic labor of
women is not an important branch of agri-
culture. The question is pertinent for agri-
cultural colleges generally quite as well as for
the noble institution at Ithaca. Provision is
to be made there for the admission OF women; /;
but impatient friends must remember that the
buildings as yet are very far from completion,
and much has to be done before the intentions
of the founder can be realized.

The West Side Elevated Railway is an accom-
plished fact. AS most of our readers already
know, the Company has charter, complete
organization, and half mile of road built and
in successful operation. 1t is now proposed to
extend this line as far as Thirtieth-st and
thus, by connection with the Hudson River
Railway. reduce the time between the Battery
and the river towns at least half an hour. The
Importance of this undertaking cannot be over
estimated, as it is the first step, and long one
too, toward solution of the question 80 often
put Of late: How shall we get through
"and out of New-York ~

Mr.. Johnson does not fare very well at the
Capitol. but he winds up at the White House
in blaze of glory. All of his friends and a
few of his enemies went up last night to
take parting look at him, and the
result was the nearest approach to gentle
"mens mob" which Washington has enjoyed
for many day. But it was very good
natured; no harm seems to have been intended
toward any body; and the only thing about it
that could have been unpleasant to the retiring
Chief Magistrate was the singing of Old John
Brown under his windows by the crowd, who
could neither get in nor go away.

We regret the final renewal yesterday of

seems to us deliberate preference of the
highest to the lowest bidder. We have seen
no reason whatever for this waste of a hundred
thousand dollars, and it becomes all the harder
to bear when we remember that it is to go for
printing Congressional speeches, Of which the
press of the country already prints gratuitously

Speaking of the remissness of Con-
gress in legalizing coin contracts, the
New York Post says:


Yet, Congress has been assembled
for more than two months, and not a
single remedial measure has been ia
ken. It was thought that at least an
act legalizjDg contracts to pay in gold
would have been passed, as soon as the
session of Congress opened, as a meas
ure intended to lead back the country
by a gentle gradatiOn to specie pay
ments. That measure, along with a
statute directing the issue Of compound
interest notes, which would at fret
form part of the currency, and then
be gradually Withdrawn, would have
had an immediate effect in equalizing
the values of paper and gold. They
would have the effect of virtually rais-
ing the wages of every workman in the
United States, and would have i'm
proved the condition of every person
living on a fixed income, by putting it
in his power to obtain a larger share Of
the necessaries and comforts Of life for
the same nominal sum. Yet nOthin 6
has been said in regard to gold con-
tracts except to get up a dwadling de-
bate on the subject, and the other ex-
pedient has not been touched. The
duty of legalizing contracts to pay In
gold is so clear that there is no more
occasion to debate whether the mem
bers of Congress shall touch their
pay. It should have been passed the
first week of the session.
