AFFECTION OF THE DOC. The lamented
Maj. Brown. who fell bravely defending the
fsr opposite Matamoros, had fine young
pointer dog. of whom SigniOr Paldi relates
the following affecting demonstration of brute
attachment:
When the remains of this gallant soldier
were entombed, his pet dog. who had lain
near the spot where the Major was suffering
until he was borne hence, mingled his ~ all
with the sonnd of tbs muffled drum, and
could not be silenced. He searched every
where for the living form of his master. and.
finding him not, seemed to understand The
mouruful business of his burial he waited
until The sad rites ware over. and then, coil
ing himself up. he laid down at the foot of
tho ias staff, upon The turf which covered
the remains of the brave Major, and sent
forth his howl of grief until the hearts al all
who heard him were impressed with a fresh
sensation Of sorrow. PaIdi intands to pre-

A PSALM OF NIGHT.
BY WILLIAM II. BuRLEIeH.

BY WILLIAM II. BuRLEIoH.
Fades from the West the farewell light
Flung backward by the setting sun,
And silence deepens as the night
Steals with its solemn shadows on!
Gathers the soft, refreshing dew
On spring grass and how'ret stems
And IL 1.-The everlasting blue
Isradiant with a thousand gems.
Not only doth the voiceful Day
Thy loving kindness, Lord! proclaim
But Night, with its sublime array
OF worlds, doth magnify Thy name!
Yea--while adoring scraPhim
Before Thee bend the willing knee,
From every star choral hymn
Goes up increasingly TO Thee!
Day unto Day doth utter speech,
And Night to Nightly voice makes known
Through all the earth where Thought may
reach,
Is heard the glad and solemn lone-
And worlds, beyond the farthest star
Whose light hath reached a human eye,
Catch the high anthem from afar,
That rolls along Immensely!
".
o Holy FATHER mid the calm
And stiffness Of this evening hour,
We, too, wou lift our solemn psalm
To praise Thy Goodness, and Thy power
For over Us, and over ALL
Thy tender mercies still extend,
Nor vainly shall the contrite call
On Thee, our Father and our Friend!
V.
Kept by thy goodness through the day.
Thanksgiving to Thy name We pour
Night DER US, with its starS-we pray
Thy Love TO guard US evermore!
In grief, console-in gladness, bless
In darkness, guide--in sickness, cheer
Till, in the SavIoUR's righteousness,
Before Thy throne our souls appear!

the evangelical Alliance has Just ad ourned and have
but a few moments to write before the mail for the
steamer closes. had hoped to have sent you budg-
ct of Travellers Notes, but have hurried so from
wonder to surprise to be too fatgued to write before
rest
BY travelling all last night reached here in COM
pany with Prof EMORY and DR.. PECK, and found pre-
paratory meeting for the Alliance appointed for to-
day. There have been meetings of Subcommittee
for the past week arranging preminarles, but mostly
composed of those of the British Isles and endeavorng
for compromise ofhome difficulties; the coming in
of foreigners will suggest less restricted considerations
The offensive requistion as to Slavery was doubt
less occasioned by disposition to que some factous
points. OF one thing you may be assured, the Amer
lean Delegation will not countenance the unC hrstion
izing of the many excellent spirits who hold the rea
ton of Master. think there will be no disturbing
discussion of the subject There was manifested this
morning most promising spirit of unanimty. find
prevailing here at home, interest for the purposes
of the Convention but feeling of suspense as to the
result some however, are very sangulne.
Public meetings have been held in different places
all of which have exhibited to the surprise, oft times
of the friends of the Alliance the most cordial enhus
asm. The call OF the Convention, however it may re-
suit cannot prove failure, for already have its fruits
abundany rewarded the toll that has been bestowed
in the knowledge ofbrotherhood it has effected among
dissenting Christians, and the more fervd Christian
love it has enkindled
There are the choicest spirits here; men of the
most enlarged minds and warmes charities the worlt
over, and they all bear the spirit of meekness-thC
meekness of wisdom. Tomorrow their councils be
pin Their hearts are in the object of their gathering
and there will be the labor Of ntelecs and hearts i'm
pulsed by the nobest hopes and strongest DESIRES
Heaven grant them guidance and glorious success,
Yours, &c. J.B. NJ.

Gigantic Increase oftbe Commerce o. The Lakes -The
Cleveland Plain Dealer in an article on the "Lake
Country" says that its trade and commerce in few
years will nearly equal the commerce of the Atlantic.
At the present moment it exhibits evidence of ggan-
tic increase. 1t is known that the first steamboat
which reached Mackinaw was in 1918, and in 1899
steamboats, navigaed Lake Michigan. Last year there
were $50 vessels navigating the Lakes above the Falls
amounting to 10000 tons. In the same year there
were on Lake Ontario steamboats,, s large propeers
and 100 briggs and schooners. The Tonnage is estima-
ted at $780, In 1915 not less than 100000 barrels Of
flour passed over the Lakes, and 250000 passengers
At the present time the commerce of the Lakes may
be fairly estimated at 100000,000 per annum This
is an evidence of what will be hereafter.
