men religiously adhered to the oath Of
secresy they had taken previous to
drawing lots. The bride, l should have
said, merely wanted to be married, and
was the first to propose an eternal sep
aration. Some months after, at Jamai-

threw himself into tragic attitude,

New Orleans, in the summer of
1887, will be long remembered by
thousands Of widows and orphans. OF
the painful ravages Of the pestilence in
this devoted city, scarcely one in a
hundred of the heart-rending scenes Of
a single month, will ever be narrated.
The writer Of this paragraph was an
eyewitness TO the deso'ating and re-
lentless career of the yellow fever in
New Orleans for four weeks. The
doors Of the merchants, the halls of
justice, The churches, and every place
Of public amusement were closed
There was no place of safety. The
fell destroyer frequently swept of
entire families. Some sought refuge
in flight, carrying with them the seeds
of the deadly disease to which they al
so soon became victims. Officers, men,
and passengers arriving in steamboats,,
were cut down by hundreds, and their
remains left without sepulture for days.
1t is remarkable, that with the excep-
ton of a day or two, the weather was
misunderstanding breezes from the
sea, and the heat of the sun not intense.
For many preceding years, New Or
leans had been healthy, and hundreds
of the late victims had located there
under the expectation that the health
Of the city would not be interrupted

A THOUGHT IN SOLITUDE.


Where is the queeniy ship,
That in her beauty few
Over the harbor's dark green waves,
To her home ths deep and blue!
Liks bride she bounded forth,
All resonant with glee;
Proud were the men who guided her
To combat with the sea.
Can her high pride be tanned!
Where are her streame!s gone!
Doth she lie where the south breeze cannot reach
Nor the storm-wind's awful toae!
Where is the queenly ship,
With her crew of gallant men!
Are they ia silence laid TO sleep,
But once to rise again!
Or is she bonding on,
As on that parting day
Doth the noble bark. like one of life,
The skill ofman sbey!
VIII she reach her destined haven,
Whence bright eyes nightly far
For her strain Far the dreaded deep
Towards the Westera start
Oh, there were hearts within her
That warmly bea, for me;
But their God ahd mine holds in his palm
Their enemy. the sea.

His spirit was sad, vet he smiled in his gfief.

He erst was chief, and his warriors were brave
Their war-.ong was then the delight o. his soul
BIZ, those warriors had sunk in the dark bloody

And now as the storm fercely raved round hshead.
He unused on his fate in the madness of woe
His warriors, his wife, a,d his little ones dead,
His nation extinct, and his wig~am laid low.

O!erush me, and lie, these dark rocks be my tomb

blings about the world, l can be happi-
est at home.
