My father, after aa absence of three yearn, returned to the house so dear to bini. He had made his last voyage, and rejoiced to have roached a haven of rest from tho perils of the eea. During his absence I bad growo from a child and babe of my mother's-for I was ber youngest-into a rough, careless, and headstrong boy. Her gentle voice no longer restrained me. I was often willful, and sometimes disobedient. I thought it indicated manly superiority to be inde pendent of a woman's influence. My father's return was a fortunate circum stance for me. He soon perceived the spirit of insubordination stirring within me. 1 saw by his manner that it dis pleased him, although for a few days he said nothing to me about it. It was an afternoon in October, bright and golden, that my father told roe to get my hat and take a walk with him. We turned down a narrow lane into a Quo open Seid-a favorite playground for tho children in the neighborhood. After talking cheerfully on different topics for a wbile, my father asked mo if I observed that huge Bbadow thrown by a mass of rocks that stood in tho middle of the field. I replied that I did. "My father owned this land," said ho. "It waa my play-ground when A boy. That rock stood theo. To me it is a beacon, and whenever I look at it I recall a dark.spot in my life-an oveut so pain ful to dwell upon, if it were not as a warning to you, I should not speak of it. Listen then, my dear boy, and learn wisdom from your father's errors. My father died when I was a mero child. I was the only son. My mother was a gentle, loving woman, devoted to her children and beloved by everybody. I remember her pale, beautiful face, her sweet affectionate smile, (her kind and tender voice. In my childhood I loved her intensely. I was never happy apart from her, and she, fearing I was becoming too much of a baby, sent mo to the high school in the village. After associating for a time with rude, rough boys, I losl in a measure, my fondness for home and my reverence for my mother; and il became more and more difficult for her to restrain my impetuous natur J. J thought it indicated a want of mantinea: to yield to ber authority or to appeal penitent, although I know that my con duct pained ber. The epithet I tnosl dreaded was qirt boy. I could not beat to hear it said by my companions that J was tied to my mother's apron strings From a quiet, home loving child, I soot became a wild, boisterous boy.? My dea mother used every persuasion to induce me to seek happiness within the precinct! of home. She exerted herself to make our fireside attractive, and my sitter following her sacrificing example, sough' to entice me by planning games anc divorsions for my entertainment. I sae all this, but did not heed it. It was ono afternoon like this that was about leaving the dining table, tc spend the intermission between morninj and evening school, in the streets a usual, my mother laid ber hand on m; shoulder, and said mildly, "My son wish you to come with me." I wouh have rebelled, but something in he manner awed me. She put on ber bon net. and said to me. "We will take ; little walk together." I followed her ii ?Hence; as ? WHS passing out of thedooi I observed one of my rude companion skulking about the bouse, andi knew h was waiting for me. He sneered as went past bim. My pride was wounde to the quick. He was a bad boy, bu being somo years older than myself h exercised a great influence over me? followed my mother sulkly. till we roacb ed the spot where we now stand, b6oeat the shadow of this huge rock. O, m boy ! couid that hour bo blotted froi my memory which bas cast a sbadot over my whole lifo, gladly would exchange all that the world eau offer m for the quiet peace of mind I sboul enjoy. But no I like this huge, unsightl pile, stands the monument of my gui forever. My mother, being feeble in heal tl sat down and beckoned mo beside he Her look no' full of sorrow, is present ( me uow. I would not sit, but continue standing sullenly beside her. "After, my dear son," said she, "h&\ you lost all love for your mother?" did not re|ily. "I fear you have," si continued ? "and may God help you i see your own heart, and me to do rx duty." She then talked to me of rt misdeeds-of the dreadful consequcne of the course I was pursuing. By teal and entreaties, and prayers, she tried i make an impression on me. She plact before me the lives and examples of gre and good men ; sought to .stimulate n ambition. I was movod, but too prot to show it, and remained standiug dogged silence beside her. I though "What will my companions say if, aft all my boasting, I should yield at la< and submit to be led by a woman ?"| What agony was visible on my mot er's face when she saw that all she sa and suffered failed to move. me. SI rose to go home, and I followed nt a di tance. She spoke no more to me till \ reached our own door. "It ia school-time now," said si "Go. my soo, and once more let me t Beech you to think upon what I ha said." "I shan't go to school," said I. She looked astonished at my boldnc but replied firmly. "Certainly you vt go, Alfred ; I command you." "I will not," said I, with a tone of c fiance. ? "One of the two thiogs yon must < Alfred, either go to school this moms or I will lock you into your room, a keep you there till you are rea to promise implicit obedience to i wishes in futuro." "I dare? you to. do- it," I said, "y can't get me up starrs." ' "Alfred, chose now," said my moth ss she-laid her hand on my arm,. 'S trembled violently, and wat deadly pu "Will yob go, Alfred?", "No I replied, but quailed before 1 eyes. "Then follow me," said abe. as i ?;rasped my'-nrm 1 firmly. I raised i bot-O, my son, hear rac-I raised i foot and kicked her-my sainted moth How my head.reels os the torrent memory rushed* over mel I kicked mother-a feeble woman-my moth She staggered back a few steps i leaned against the wall. She did look at nae.. ITa??t ker heart beat aga! her breast. M"0, Heavenly Eather/'j cried, "forgive bim; he know* ?ba* h? does? Tho gardeoerjust then passed tho di and seeing my mother pale and ale unable to support herself, he stopp she beckoned bim ie. "Take this boy np stairs and lock I In his room," aald ehe, anr? turned ti me. Looking back, as ?he gave me s a look-it will forever follow mo. w?s a look of agony, mingled wUb Intenscst love-it waa the last uout able pang from a heart that wai bro] Io a moment I found myself a prise in my own room. I thought for a ment I could fling myself from tho i dow, and dash my brains ont, but I felt afraid to die. I was not penitent. At timep ruy heart was subdued, but my stubborn pride rose instantly and bade me not to yield. Tho pale faco of my mother haunted mo. I flung myself on the bed, and fell asleep. I woke at mid night, BtiiTened and terrified with fright ful d rea ins. I would have sought my mother at that moment, for I trembled with fear, j but my door was fast. With the day light my terrors were dismissed, and I became bold in resisting all good impul ses. The servant brought my meal*, but I did not taste them. I thought the day would never end. Just at twilight I heard a light footstep approach my door. It was my sister who called me by name. "What may I tell mother from you?" sbo asked. "Nothing!" I replied. "O, Alfred, for my sake and all our sakes, pay that you are sorry. She longa to forgive you." "I won't be driven to school against my will," I said. "But you will go if Bbe wishes it, dear Alfred," said my sister, pleadingly. "No, I won t" said I, "and you needn't say a word more about it." "O, brother, you will kill her, and then you cnn ucver havo u happy mo ment." I made no reply to this. My feeliiurs were touched, but I still resisted their influence. My sister called me, but 1 would not nnswer. I heard her footsteps slowly retreating, and again I flung my self on the bed to pass another wretched and fearful night. ?, God, how wretch ed and fearful I do not know. Another footstep, slower and feebler than my sistor'a disturbed mo. A voice called mo by name. It was my mother's. "Alfred, my son, ?hall 1 como in ? are you sorry lor what you have done?" she asked. I cannot tell what influence oper ting at that moment, made mo speak nbverse to my feelings. Tho gentle voice of mother that thrilled through mc, melted tho ice from my obdurate heart, and I longed to throw myself on her neck, but I did not. No, my boy I did not. But my words gave tho lifo to my heurt, when I said I was not sorry. I beard her with draw. I hoard her groan. I longed to call her but I did not. I was awakeued from an uneasy slum ber by bearing my name called loudly, and my sister stood beside my bed. "Get up, Alfred ! O, don't wait a mo ment I Get up and como with me, Mother is dyiug !'' I thought I was dreaming, but I got up mechanically, and followed my sister. On the bed, pale and cold as marble, lay my mother. She had not undressed, but bad thrown herself on tho bed to rest. Arising to go again to me, she was seized with a palpitation of the heart, and borne senseless to her room. I cannot tell you my agony as I looked upon her-my remorse was tenfold more bitter from the face that she would never know it. I believed myseK a murderer. I fell on the bed beside ber-1 could not weep; my heart burned in my bosom; my brain was all on fire. My sister threw her arms around me and wept in silence. Suddenly we saw a slight mo tion of my mother's hand-her eyes unolosed. She bad recovered conscious ness but not speech-sho looked at me and moved her lips. I could not under stand her words. "Mother, Mother," ? shrieked, "say only that you forgive me." She could not say with ber lips, but ber band pressed mine. She smiled upon me, and lifting her thin, white hands clasped mine with them, and cast her eyes upward. She moved her lips in praver and thus she died. I remained still kneeling beside that dear form tili my gentle sister removed me. She com forted me, for she knew the heavy load of sorrow at heart : heavier ?hau the grief for tho loss of a mother; for it was a load of sorrow for sin. The joy of youth had left tue forever. My son, suffering, as such memories awake, must continue os long as life. God is merciful, but the remorse of post misdeeds is a canker-worm in the heart, that prays upon it forever. My father ceased speaking and hur ried his face in his bauds. He saw and felt the bearing his narrative had upon my character and conduct. I have never I forgotten it. Boys who spurn their mother's control, who are ashamed to own that they are wrong, who think it mauly to resist the authority, or yield to hor influence, beware I Lay not up for yourself bitter memories for your futuro years. Though the boy who reads this may not have kicked his mother, yet let him think if he haB never given his mother or fainer somo unkind words, or be:n dieobedient to their wishes in many ways. Boys, beware 1 obey your parents in all things, for God has commanded it; aud remember that disobedience to your parents is sin against God ! Laughter as a Medicine. A Bbort time since, two individuals were lying iu one room very sick, one of them with the brain fever, and the other with an aggravated case of mumps. They were so low that watchers were needed every night, and it was thought doubtful if the one sick of fever could recover. A gentleman was engaged to watch over night, his duty being to wake the nurse whenever it became necessary to administer medicine. In the course of the night both watcher and nurse fell asleep. The man with the mumps lay watching the clock, and saw it was time to give the fever patient his portion. He was unable to speak aloud or to move any portion of his body except bis arms, but seizing a pillow, be managed to strike the watcher in the face with it, who thus, suddenly awakened sprang from bis seat, falling to the floor and awakened both the nurse and the fever patient. The incident struck the sick man as very ludicrous sod they laughed heartily at it for some G ft eeo or twenty minutes. When the doctor esme in tho morning he found bia patient vastly improved, and said he never knew so sudden a turn fdr the better, and now both are up and well. Vf ba says laughter is not the best of metiieibe?? abd this-teminds tbs writer of another case. A gentleman waa Bullering from an ulceration of the throat which at length became ao swollen that his life was despaired of. His household came to his bedside to bid him farewell. Each Individual shook bands with the dying man sod then went away weeping. Last of all, came a pet apa, and shaking tbs mab's hand went away ??ao with Ita banda over ita ayes. It.W*a so ludicrous a sight that the patient was forced to laugh and laughed so heartily that tlio nicer broke and bis life was ss ved.-Sanitarian. j - A little magnesia and water will j sometimes correct tbs acidity of a child's j stomach, and render unnecessary any j stronger medicine. Powder a teaspoon* i ful of the magnesia and pot in half a glass of water ; it will not dissolve; of course, bnt will mix with tho water so that sn infant can swallow it.' Give s teaspoonful of this three times a day until indications warrant you In discon tinuing it. Taininge on ?lad Cooking. Without nny preliminary words of wel come, Dr. Tnlmage proccedtd to an nounco the text, on Sunday morning, which wa? from Romans xvi, 14, lo. "Saluto Aayncritus, Phlegon, Hennas, Pat roba?, Hormes, Philulugus and Julia." The preacher explained this rather perplexing text by maying that all the Biblical commentators had passed hy these seven uames without any special remark. The other tweutv people lu the chaplet were distinguished in ono way or another, and wero therefore mentioned. Nothiog wr.ssaid about these seven. Had they been remarkable in auy way their features would have been caught by the apostolical cantora. They were simply ordinary people. "What the world wants," proceeded Dr. Talmago, "is religion for ordinary people. If theto aro 05,000,000 people in tue United State?, certainly not more tliau 1,000,000 of them ore extraordinary. We do well to turn our backs on the twenty and give some attention to the seven. There uro many of you who will never head an army, nor writo a State constitution, nor create a new philosophy, nor electrify a Senate, nor decide the fate of a nation. You don't expect to ; you don't want to. "Many ol you nro women nt tho head of households. This morning you launched the family for Sabbath service. Every morning you plan for the day, do cido ull questions of diet, auperviso all the sanitary regulations. To regulate tho food, apparel and habits, mid decide all the thousand and ono questions of home business is a tax appulliug if it has no divino alleviation. Food and apparel affect in a very great degrco tho welfare of the nation. Ooo of the greatest bat tles of tho century was lost because the commnndcr that morning hud a lit of in digestion. Vast numbers of the human race aro slaughtered by incompetent cooking. Tho young lady may be per fect in music, languages, drawing and astronomy ; but if sho is uot well educa ted in dough her education is imperfect. '"The world is strewn with the myrturs of imperfect cookery, and it cries out for a God who can help tho ordioary womau in tho ordinary duties of tho household. It's high time that some of the attention given to the conspicuous women of tho Bible be directed to tho Julia of tho text: 'An ordinary woman, in. ordinnry circumstances, attending to ordinary duties and bearing ordinary responsibili ties.' " Ordinary busiuesa men also required attention, the preacher thought. Ho liicened the average business mau to a neglected clock. After a time it began lo buzz aud roar, then starts to strike ttve, or forty, or six, aud suddenly stops. ''Greenwood has thousands of New York and Brooklyu business men," shouted tho Doctor, "who died of old age at thirty, thirty-five ur forty. What ia wanted is divino grace for ordinary busi ness men. Not tho grace to lose $100, 000, but the justification to loso ten ; not the grace to superviso 250 hands, but tho time to look properly after the book keeper, two salesmon and the boy who sweeps out the store. "You talk of Cincinnatus, who went from tbe plow to a higher position, and after twenty-one days' dictatorship went back to farming. What encouragement is that to ordinary farmer*? ?toue of them aro politicians. I doubt if auy of them will be politicians, and their dicta torship is confined to the forty or a hun dred acres of thc old homestead. What they want is tbe graco to keep patient when plowing balky oxen, or the drought destroys the corn crop, or the neighboring cattle break in and destroy the strawberry patcher, and eat so much of the sweet corn that they have to be kept away from lue water so that they won't ?well and die; orto doctor tho cow with the hol low born, tho sheep with tho foot rot, or the horse with the distemper. You'd best close up about Cincinnatus 1 I know 500 farmers just as notable as him." Having given some further illustra tions the preacher got dowu to advice : "First of all, if you feel that you are ordinary, thank God tbat you are not extraordinary. I'm tired, sick, bored to death with extraordinary people. They take all their timo telling you how extra ordinary they aro. Phenomena is of lit tle use. Things that sro exceptional can't bo depended upon. Better trust the smallest planet swinging in its orbit than ten comets shooting this way and that, imperiling the safety of worlds attending to their own businesr For steady illumination a common halt-lamp is far ahead of tho mont brilliant sky rocket ever manufactured. How deli rious it muit be to Me a candidats for j President of the United Slates ! It must j be so southing to the nerves ! It must pour in the soul of the candidate such sense of security when be reads tho bless- ! ed newspapers. [Laughter.] "Take the remarkable railroad men of the day. They get all the abuse, while the stockholders escape. The New York Central road bas 9,205 stockholders, but if anything goes wrong tho blame falls on one man. The Pennsylvania road has 17,000 stockholders. But Thomas Scott was abused till be was .under the ground for tho companion's shortcomings. The weather of life is not sn severe on tho plaina aa on the high peaks. Tho world never forgives aman for knowing, say inp or doing more than it thinks he ought to." An Editor's Dream. He fell asleep after a time, snd lo ! he dreamed again. And it seemed to bim in a vision, that having armed himself with certain papers and books, ho turned bis steps once more towards the plnco, and knocked at the gate. "Hello ! is that you, again ?" said Peter. "What do you wish?" "Let those persons again come forth," replied the editor ; and P<ster this time made them all come through the gato abd stand outside. . They came as before and uttered the same cries as before. - " Why didn't you notico that big egg I sent vou ?" yelled the first. . "It was rotten." "Why didn't you write up my soda fountain?" said the druggist. "You had your tickets printed at the other office." calmly replied the editor. "Why did you write up about old Tomlinsons bens, and never speak of my new gate?" ^ "Old Tomlinr.on paid for bis advertise ment and you didn't. Here's the bill !" said the editor. , "Why did you spell my name wrong in the programme?" groaned the local talent. . "Take a look at this manuscript of yours and seo for yourself," Mid the editor, with a grim smile. The rest of tho company yelled their complaints io unis?n, and the editor calmly sorted out s aeries of billa for un paid subscriptions, and presented each with one'; and it was so when they re ceived them that they tore their bair and rushed violently down a steep place inta the sea, and Peter, taking the editor calmly by tbe hand, led bim within lb? Living Like A Prince. Curious stories Are often told about men of no fortune who live like million aires. Occasionally instances like that ot "Lord Abercrombie," who lived like a Vanderbilt for a few month?, crop up. But it is seldom that a man tums up who can live Uko a Russian prince, drive blooded horses, give elaborate dinners and move among a fast - - t of men with out having any money of bis own. There is such a man, or rather, boy in New York, at tho present time. Ho lias been going et a terrific rato for two veers. I shall call him Smith because it is not bis name. He is an ideal dude. His figuro is slim almost to emaciation, his chest narrow, bis arms and legs long and his face absolutely colorless. More th mi this, it is an effeminate fsce, with small features, weak eyes and an irresolute mouth. It is famili?rste half the peo ple In New York. At every event of importance this pale and languid little dude is on hand. He lins a extraordinary assortment of clothes, wears numberless rings and is usually accompanied by a vnlot. Ho comes of very respectable people. I know his mother and several nf his relatives. They will have nothing to do with him and bis name is never mentioned]'at home. About^two years ago he got into a scrape up town fur which ho needed ready money at onco. Ho begged his people to give him $1.000 and they refused point blank. Then he gathered all his mother's diamonds, pledged them for about $8,000 and took a steamer for Paria. When ho arrived there ho walked into a commission house, asked tho head of the firm for a pointer nnd languidly tossed him a check for *7,000 for investment. One turn on the Boura? landed him nearly $20,000 ahead. He made a few moro successlul specula tion!!, drew the whole amount of his gains, which lind then reached about $30,000, and prepared to "seo" Paris. Me was then 20 year? old. Of course no one knew that "when bc speculated in $1,000 lots that ho was risking his whole fortuno nt every turn of the market. He was so placid and sereno during his operations that they gave him credit for having a big fortune in reserve. Mr. Smith made things howl in Paris. Ho lived there four montha, spent every penny ho had, and returned to America with half a do?.en trunks filled with clothes, no end of jewelry, leaving the tradesmen of Paris doleful and forlorn, j He owed money right and left in the 1 French capital, but ho never allowed it to worry him. When he arrived in New York ho had another interview with hia family, but he was so thoroughly unman ageable that he was again tossed out of the house, which he has never since en tered. A little crowd of sycophants hung around him for a time, but they have nearly all deserted him now and he has but one companion-a man who is said to be an adventurer and whom nobody knows. The little dude goes every where, as I said above. He may be seen driving ou the avenue in the afternoon in a trap that is strictly correct in every detail, and he attends the theater and the opera steadily. He is cut right and left, owes every man money, and is frequently abused in public by his dupes. But th?) expression of bis face never changes and he is apparently as happy as he was in Paris, when at the height ef his fortune. He is knowb about town by the name of "Jiblets." I don't know where the nickname came from.-Brook lyn Eagle. Nose Bleeding. It is by no meaus unusual to have a free discbarge of purulent metter and even blood from the nose, sometimes at least affording relief in certain forms of disease-? kind of ?aiety-vaive. In the circumstance already referred to, in which ! the "beaters" are so freely used aa to produce an irritation of the membrance) i of tbe nose, mouth, ears, throat, etc., it I will be perfectly natural for tho nose to be sore and inflamed, ready to bleed j from the B?ghteBt injury, the blood burst ing out freely, even when excitement, or any other cause, sends an uuBual amount of blood to the head. Those who have an inflammatory, or feverish tendency, whose stomach and throat aro inflamed, will naturally have sores in tho nose and around '% as well as behind tho .ears. As a natural result there will be various discbarges from the nose. If this bleed* ing be habitual, it is quite certain that. the whole system demands attention. If it is the result of an accident tbs bleed ing will not ordinarily be profuse, but will stop when the modorate supply is exhausted. Whoa thc membraoe of the nose is tender, irritated and soie, it is well to wet a cloth in borax and water and pre s it up into tho nose as' far as possible, allowing it to lemain, repeating this from day to day. If time are sudden bursts of blood, some utrong alum water may be syringed into tbe nose, or "snuffed up," mopping it as soon as will be best ; or the alum may be made into a snuff by melting and then drying it away till easily pulverized, tabing it as a snuff. Raising the arms over the hend, or press ing firmly about a half inch of the up per lip, just under the nose, or that part of the edge of the jaw about ono inch from the tip of the chin, so as to stop the flow of the blood, will check this bleeding. Ono may decide just the spot by fooling lor the besting of the small blood-vessel. Electioneering. "Madam, may I kiss these beautiful children?" inquired Uncle Oglesby, is ho leaned over the front gate. "Certainly, sir; there is no possible objection.'^ itt' ' " 1 :1 "They are lovely darlings," said Uncle Dick, after be bad. finished the eleventh: "I nave seldom "seen more beautiful babies.

There is scarcely auy ceremony moro impressive than a burial at sea ; perhaps because nowhere does man.feel littleness moro than when the mighty ocean sur rounds him. Tho graves of the dead on shore in a measure localize their Inmate's ; and our associations are fortified by tho power of referring to the departed as beings who slumber in green places nnd aro at ali seasons visitable. Dut a burial at sea is the launching of tho dead into infinity. The senso of his extinction is absoluto. Hois swallowed up and annihilated by tho universo of j water, which also seems to overwhelm his very memory. At twelve o'clock the body of Johnson, sewn up in canvas, with a- Weight of j lead attucbed to bia feet, lay extended upon ono of the gratings of tho main hatchway, one end resting on tho bul warks of tho ?hip, and the other upon the shoulders of two sailors. Tho crew stood round, lidding their caps in their hnnds, aud near tho body stood Mr. Sher? man, reading tho Burial Service. The mournful aud, impressivo spebtnclo was greatly heightened by tho tolling! of the boll on tho quarter-deck, which mingled ?ts clear chimes with the words delivered by Mr. Sherman. Tho vessel wassailing on an even keel, her white sails swellluz and soaring one abovo another, nnd forming a lovely picture against the bright bluo sky.

"Well-ahem-I supposo it's along after the snow goes off." "About rotation of crops?" : "I-I never heard of any." "And what about sub-soiling ?" / "Sub Boiling? Why, it's something connected with farming." "And how much wheat db you BOW to the acre?" The lawyer couldn't remember whether it was twenty or forty bushels, but dodged the case by observing : "Tba gr>?t t von bl o with tbe country is that wo Im o to? many consumers."

WMUiMiton Naiad. My good neighbor Barr Inis a very bright and' promising ' daughter, Misa Sallie, who, by her gentle conduct and cheerful air, baa won a high place in my esteem. Her father in a thrifty farmer, with every needful comfort about him; aud, though not a rich man, ho is out of debt, hud usually has a little irtbney laid up for a rainy day. ileing a good friend of his, and feeling a deep interest in his daughter's welfare, I took it upon myself tho other day to go over to his house to induce him to send Misa Snllio off to n good school. I found bim plowing iu his Hold neaKtho road ; and, it being nearly dinuer, time, he unhitched his mule, njid took ino to the liouno. As soon ns I could bring it around, I told bim and his wife what T had' come for ; and what do you reckou they said ? I am torry to tell it ; but I noticed that up to this time Miss Sallie WSB not lo ho seen. The fact is, sho was down In tho back field, where sho bad been picking cotton all day long, and where sho lind been a regular hand, they told me, all the season. They told me that they had iutended to give Miss Sallie a good education, and had expected to start her ton high school this fall. Hut in tho mean time ho lind the oiTer'of. ? nice tract of land very cheap and on easy terms ; and they thought it would-be n good thing to brivo it fdr the children; and so, although he had no present uso for it in tho world, he bought it. One of tho note* was nearly due; and tho wliolo family-father, mother and children-had tu stint themselves and work hnrd to raise tho money. Now, if that waa^ill of it, it would be lind enough. Uti!, no doubt, next year it will be the same thing tiver to meet tho second note. * Ami tiling* will very likely ruti on so till Miss Sallie will get so old thal she will 64 ashamed,,to go to a good school, and publish her ignorance.

H., November li-^News of a horrible occurrence that tonk place nt Brookfield, in this ?tate, roached hero to day. Horneo Deland, eighteen .years of age, the son of a respectable- 'farmer of the pince, committed suicido .by cr?ma tion, it is said that he met'a young woman of Brookfield a> a dance io the village last winter. He fell iu love with her and paid her u great deni of Attention, Anally proposing marriage. - Her namo was Ella Di m.tn ore. . Sho thought moro of another than of bim and rejected him. For several weeks past be lina been seen tingering about her residence, but ho never succeeded in getting an saterTiew. Ho refused to associate with his former companions aud fell into despondency. Lnst Tuesday his fcclingr reached tho climax of despair. Ho went pp'into a clearing close by hin father's bouse, chopped down a Int of dead tr.?es and dragged them to the ?entre af tho.clear ing, where ho ntacked them together, fastening them as firmly as if they were rooted in tho ground. He BtuP.ea a lot of drygrnss and paper, undorhesth' ready to ignite nnd thou went back to '.ii--, room, where ho satdowu and penned u pathetic note to his parents, telling them that ho felt tl tat bis lifq was already blighted and that he had hot the courage to face it; that he lind to face death. Ho told them wheru to find his body, and left tho .note in hi i own roora, knowing thnt when bo was missing the soon? wu;,lu* be scorched. Securing t wo qi three chains that his father had used for fastening tho fox hounds to their kennels, he returned to the pilo of br nub and succeeded in lashing himself lightly to the old trees. Then ho set fire to the brush. The frightful agony which bb endured is shown by the fact that after being lashed to the pile he tried to cut bis throat with an old razor. The note was, of course, found by tho parents, and yesterday morning the body, which had been burned beyond recognition, was found also. He had been seen colleoting tho brush by a farmer, but nothing was thought of tho circumstance at the time.
