S2U "Never Say Die."—Three months ago a young musician well known in this city, struggling with poverty, undertook to commit suioide. Jle had a single dollar remaining, with no prospect of obtaining more. Ho invested the dollar in a bottle of Ithine wine, drank it, and ordered up a three levy pair of slippers in which to "shuffle off the mortal coil." He decided upon drowning as the easiest method of leaving a frigid world. He went down to Callowhill street wharf, to commit suicide by drowning. One of the harbor policc divining his intention, took him to his house, and like a good Samaritan ministered to his necessities. IIo remained at the policeman's house for two days. While there he casually observed in n newspaper a four stanza balmd. In a moment of inspiration he improvised an air for it. He took oil new life. Eneigy was aroused within him, and he wrote out the melody with piano accompaniment. A publisher of musio next day agreed to get out the piece, with the usual copyright to the author.
