The Justiilnblc Suicide.
t tuet him on tho boiler deck as wo sailed
out of port,
Ho seemed to bo a gentleman?ono of the
better sort;
But lie bad a most ferocious look, a innnicsl
stare?
Such as hunters find in tigers wnen they
rouse them from their lair.
We met again at even, when the cabin lamps
were lit,
He did by an ancient fcmalo *} in tho cabin
Sit,
Thou ho wore a look of sorrow?such a fear
ful look of woe
As Niobe with her children on the printed
canvosahow.
And we met at midnight as We glided down
the stream,
And all around was stillness save the weap
? ing and despair,
Thch ho had a look of wildncss?of misery
and despair,
As he gazed into the water, as if something
drew him there.
I sought a conversation, and asked him if
he knew
That we wcro on a dangerous boat, and had
a desperate crew ?
.1 told him that the engineers were carrying
the steam so high
That any minute we might bo meanderin g
to'ards the sky.
And that the pilots both were, drunk, or so
I understood,
That iliey might sink us on the rooks ?
'I wieh 'o Aeavcn they would '.'
The stranger cried, 'But no such luck will
e'er bo mime 1 trow,
Tor death in any shape would be n pleasure
to mo now.
?I'vo sought it at tho canuou's mouth and
on the raging seas,
And "on the Canidcn- Amboy [road?and pla
r< CCS such as these:
Why wilt it flee ? The young and gay are
'Called away too toon,
While I am left, wdio many years have crav
ed it as a boon.'
I tried to cheer this gloomy man, mid draw
his thoughts away
Fiom dwelling on such dismal things:
'Sit down, my friend, I pray;
Have you no loving wife or child?no cher
ished dear,
Is there no one you love on earth?no tics to
keep you here ?
'Who is that elder lady who is traveling
with you now;
Can Bho not clear away the gloom which
settles on your brow ?
Ah ! there she comes?I'll ' ask her aid?
most surely you'll repent,'
But up be jumped?threw off Jhij hat?and
OACrboar 1 he went.
I turned to where the lady st jo I, and spoke
to this effect:
'Madam, you'ro his mother in law V
She calmly said, 'Correct !'
