Tho following lines uxro writcn on the death
of Mary Ax,n Tilden with no intention of pub
lishing, but being submitted to me for perusal. I
find so much beauty and touching pathos in their
composition, that I tnk,o the liberty of sending you
a copy for publication. A short tunc previous to
her death, at a party, as jfin anticipation of the
melancholy event sho sung "ycep not for me,
when I am gone," with a child-like tenderness
thqt brought tears to every eye. D.
The departed, tho departed,
Mcthinks I scothec now
In all thy childish innocence
With fair and .sunny brow.
Thy merry laugh, lileo silver flow,
Of gcntlo rivulet,
As gurgling through tho vale below,
Is in my memory yet.
Oh Death, coutd'st thmi not spare us
The much lovd little onts.
!i(Wre there not iIiqsp less lovely
TW,That better, could havo gone ?
Whore linger thy sweet spirit
Hovers it round' us now,
Weaving thi flowers of Paradiso
Around each once loved brow I
Dotli glidc.in noiseltsf footsteps
Around thy parents' btd
Brpathes thy pure angel spirit
Around the prithlhcy tread
Dost look upon thy sisters' grir f
' With thy clear epirit eyes,
Would'st woo them from this vale eftenrs,
To joinhce in the skjes ?
Sweet cherub, wo Would fain, bslievc
Tint still thou lingerist near,
To cheer us 'mid our solitude
And wipo away each tear.
Thou bade'it lis "Not to weep for thee I"
Ah ! little did wc.think
That even then thy .spirit .stood
Upon tho grave's cold brink I

Sweetly, I hear thy spirit sing,
JTis, bcck'jijng us to come,
As, tho night-winch chant Iho.rcquium
And sigh around thy homo !

friends were weary of watching. As if loth to
convey a spirit like his to its Maker, the angel
of death seemed to tarry upon tho threshold. His

gone. No stone marks his Iono resting place.

Life and Death of Sexes. The law of life
and mortality betwixt tho sexes arc very remarka
ble. They nrostated thus :
1. In the present condition of the white popula
tion of the United States the number, of females
born per annum js about 12,000 less than the
mnlcG. TUi determines of itself tlint polygamy
is not a natural condition of man, and tho law of
our religion and nature nre tho same that one
man shall bo tho husband of one woman.
2. At twenty yearsof age the females exceed the
males. This proves that between tho birth nnd
twenty tho mortality among the boys has been
much greater than that among tho girls.
3. From 20 to 40 the men atrain much exceed
tho worritn, which shows that this is the period of
the greatest morality among women.
4. From 40 to 70 the dill rmcc rapidly Uirnin
ishes.the female s, as in the early part bf life, gain
ihg on the males. This shows that this is tho po--
nod of danger and exposure to men, the least to
the yomcn.
5. From 70 onward the, wqmen outnumber the
men. This snows conclusively that, relatively
speaking, in comparison with men, tho healthiest
period of female life is at its elbse. Absolutely,

However, no pcriou locuner sex is so neaitny as

and girlhood.

occuranco took placo at Ivecvo, Cheshire (where
thero are a great many Morgans) on the 23d
NoverpUcr .last. Tho priest of tho order is a
blacksmillyof tho namoofCartwright,and among
tho devotees is a fanatic of tho natno ofPugmire,
also ftralth or engineer. Tho latter was married
to a rcspectablo woman of about thirty years of age,
who had bore him three children, nnd was within
threo months of her next confinement. Sho steadily
rciuscd to abopt the fanatical opinions of her hus
band, and much altercation had ensued in conse-
quonce. Worn out however, with his repealed so
licitations, and his continued declarations that un
less sho submitted to be baptized in order, sho
would bo eternally lost, sho .declared her intention
to one of her neighbors to obey Lcr iHisband's
wishes, being satisfied, as sho "said, that unlesi she
did so she would never have any more peace with
him. On Ihursday,tho 23d ult, nt eight o'clock
at night, the poor worn out creature was taken
by her husband and tho blacksmith priest down
to the river below tho works, was denuded of all
her clothing excerpt a small flannel singlet and,
notwithstanding her interesting situntion, thoso
wretched fantics, after muttoring some incantations
plunged her into tho stream. The night was
dreadful cold and dark, in consequence of the late
heavy rains the river was running nt a great rate,
nnd was much higher than ordinary. The priest
having hold of her naked arm unfortunately let
gp his grasp, and the curent running like a mill
race, immediately carried her away, and it being
pitch' dark sho was instantly overwhelmed by tho
boiling flood and drowned. The husband walked
homo with great deliberation nnd nonchalance,
and told his neighbors what had occurrd: and af
ter septing himself in a chair, rolled himself in a
flinnel nnd declared his conviction '"that it was
hi! will of God that she should be drowned." ad
ding "that it was the wickedness of her faith that
causi-d it, hut that ,ho was now satisfied that sho
was .in glory." That body wa subsequently
found, and n coroner's verdict ofmanslaunditcr"

of whom' were arrested. Talk of romance: indeed.

palling realites which set at naught tho wildest
creation of fiction.
that his mind was not right. After this ho was
humanly favored and spent his time mostly in the
cookery.
For six months previous lo tho expiration of
his sentnnce, a separate arch in the prison was as
signed to him When Ins time was out, the late
warden applied lo tho authorities of the town of
Lhnrlestown to hnvo him taken care of. ns hp w.n
evidently unfit to lake care of himself. Up to
this tinioho had giyrn; in reply to repealed qucs-
uuiiiiigs, several aliases, uut iiuu never given his
proper name.
On the day of his discharge tho chairman of tho
overseers ot tno poor saw him in tho prison.
'Where are you fromf asked ihc officer.
'Vermont,' replied the poor imbecile.
'Vermont? Ohl I know something about Vcr
mont. 1 havo lived there,' replied the officer, go
ing on in praise of tho grceii-hillcd state, while
the blank face of tho idiot seemed to brighten u
little with inteligcnco.
'What town wero you boi"n in V

'Wallinglord f I know nbent that town, too.
I havo lived there, and am well acquainted with
mariv of its inhabitants. Do vou remember ,
tho fiddler?' "
'Yes, yes I enn fiddle too, and havo fiddled
with him many a time.
But it is unnecessary to sketch fnrthcr tho con
versation. The enquirer was cheerful in look,
kind in speech, nnd manifested an interest in his
late. isi'Sidcs, scenes ol cai her dftys were called
up, and few there nre, however rudely life's waves
may have tossed them, whodo'not goback tothfcso
with pleasure. In this case even tho imbe
cile was not an exception. Ho was cnbled to
carry back the shattered mind of tho convict to the
places where his childhood was passed. Confi
dence begets confidence, whether in the poor idi
ot or raving maniac, the old reserve of the pris
oner vanishd, nnd he, who for more than two years
had strangely given only aliases now gave his
true name. His friends, some of the'most respec
table of the town of Wallingford, wcr6 written to.
They soon called nnd madn appropriate provisions
for him, stating that at tho time ho wandered from
his keepers in 1840, every search was made for
him, but not being able to find him, ho was sup

and tho silver locksof age wer9 beginning to ap

sun of life was last going down. He ha'cl dwelt
alone. No wifo or .child had blessed him 'with
their smiles, or gladdened', his "weary heart with
their evening hymns. Ho continued with nature,
and sought the old forest tree for his companion,
tillhcy began lo answer to his voice, and to echo
back his shouting. The Bible was a booTr of fa-
,bles to him , and having closed its lids, and spurned
it from his dwelling, tho clear, bright stars above,
nnd the green earth and babbling stream below,
could not win his car with their whispering
ol immortality. Ho believed death an eternal

He wns stripped of his gaudy apparel, and budo

tho Royal bargos transported him across tho lakci
to a temple which roso on its margin, about u
league from tho city. Hither tho inhabitants of.the
capital flocked, to witness tho consumation of, tho
ceremony. As the. sad procession wound up tho
sides of the pyramid, tho unhappy victim threw
away his gay chaplcta of flowers, nnd broko'in
pieces tho musical instruments With which ho had
solaced the hoUrs of captivity. On the summit
he' was received by six persons, whoso long and
matted locks flowed disorderly over their sa
