zie, about four years old, and the partieti
larpet of the tiitlier. 'i bis was a blow ffon
wliieb the father novor recovered. Not abl
to buy a tomb, lie had the child buried ii
the .ronud in (Ireenwood Cometry. 'I'll
! grief preyed heavily upon him. It wa
his only thought; mid, botng out of hi
regular employment, he found cinployiuen
, in his grief.
j lie bought a burii'.l lot. ond some briek
and other material, and with his own hands
and all a'on 1 in fl>li?u le in the Cemetery
built him a briek tomb, lie bad not th
means fu make tin* tomb a Mvlish one; so
in its mouth or entrance, he fitted a piec
of wood mi frame, ami on this IVaiuo lie lit
tod a jiit'c of hoard, mid sccurcd it witl
serows in its four corners. On this hoar*
with wliii h he t'lu-hiM'd the vault, (in liet
nf the usual brick mid mortar and mnrbl
slab) he had carved nicely witli lii.s knit'
the burial iii.scri|?ti<>n of his child. Tli
tomb finished, lie disinterred the child*
body, and placed it there, lie fastens
the board with screws, in order that In
might afterwards have no trouble in renin
ving it when lie felt like gazing upon tin
decaying remains of his child.
i This employment finished, it was hi
habit to visit the Cemetry, o?>eii the tomb
I and look at the corpse of liis pot. lie nl
ways carried a screw driver in Ins poeko
Xwitii which to remove and replace the lie
\-i>f the colt in. Neither the hazard aspect o
the shrinking corpse, nor the foul odor o
decay could repel him in his morbid griet
His visits were frequent, anil sometime
his wife wont with him. lie frequent!;
! complained to her that ho could not ire
work, and this doubtless fostered the des
pondeney which was drawing him to death
lie frequently spoke of having no faith ii
j the future, and of death as a desirable tiling
On Wednesday he went to the C'enietr
: with two shrubs which he had purchased
1 i and pint)ted them in front nft.li/*
On Thursday, when he left home, ho toh
hi.s wife that if he had no better luck ii
I finding work, she, wouhl never sec hint a
' I gain. He also said .somethingabout hav
' inga plaee in which to rest.
That evening, or that night?for no on

. <n i ?uu;miu;ii. v. uscrewuig the board 0
1 | the tomb, he threw away the screws, an
' j tilled the screw-holes in the board wit
1 i clay.
With hi1' now screws he t!ien seeurei
the trunk-handle to the inside of the board
1 This work of course, had to be done oul
side the tomb. Pushing his child's cola
aside, he pot in by its side, taking wit
him his poison and tho other articles, wit!
which he had provided himself. I lis ha
' | he placed upon the eofiiu ; his coat, whit?
he had taken off, he wrapped around a brie;
1 for a pillow, lie shut himself in with tli
' board by moans of the handle he hadsere\
i u nj ii, iih* uoavu luting outside the wood
, cn fruine. The iron bar, which was of th
] proper length, ho placed across the tram
! inside. Tho thickness of the frame woul
j not allow the bar to pass through the trim
' | handle on the inside of the board; so h
[ I secured the handle and the bar bv mean
of his wire, coiling it through the one an
; around the other. He did not succeed i
1 ! fitting the board sfjuarcly upon the. franu
' 1 One corner of it caught upon the brie
" , work outside the frame; this he did n>
! discover, nrobuhlv nwim* ? ><>
' j of tlio night; and Lilt for this little circuit
stance, his fate would probably have neve
been discovered, or not at least tor man
years. I laving thus hid himself away, a
he fancied, beyond mortal discovery, h
drained off tlie laudanum bottle, compose
| himself on his back, placed the brick am
