to fathomless immensely of eternity, and
another year, which is bu! day with its
Supreme Director, is approaching its twi-
light, soon to set in darkness, ard soon to

the season; it seems as if death were in the
house when we consider that the last of the
months is fading away forever. 1t is the
type of death, of the resurrection, and of
Immortality; it can bring balm to the rel-
gious mind as it pre6gures the victory of
the faith over the grave, the bursting of

towns in this county to meeting
Sunday not long since. Of course

Sundays ago at one of our SUBURBAN

another was sung; "And take thy

cried out, "Crown or Tall" Grown

Highness has won," said the
American, looking at the rouble,
and stepping into the mud. The
next day the Yankee was invited
by the Grand Duke to dinner.

fact that whilst the Christian miss

Hest times, every effort has been

The Heroine of Tampioo.

The Heroine of Tampioo.
Real heroes and heroines hardly exist
now, exempt in novels. Seldom do we
hear offs brave, genrous. unselish deed!
Nor can we, with justice, expect it to
be otherwise with this money getting
generation. But there is occasionally
IN exception once in while bright
example attempts to apologize for the
surrounding darkness.
There are few who have not heard of
the "Heroine of Tampico," of the deed
by which her name shall forever be
linked with the history of our country.
Well, she is now in our city, and have
seen her. She is not like the heroines
who spring from the brain of romance.
Strange to say, she is plain, unassum-
ing, sensible woman and yet she is a
heroine. l hope the romantic young
ladies won't accuse me of heresy for
saying this. know that they scorn
the idea of heroine doing desperate
things, and suffering untold sacrifices,
except under the influence of love for
certain hero, whose parents are very
cruel, and won't allow him pocket-mon
ey. Knowing all this, nevertheless
insist that I have seen woman who
did glorious deed, and became hero
inc through sheer patriotism. l have,
in fact, in this nineteenth century, seen
asecond Joan of Arc.
The scene was at Tampico during the
Mexican war. Our fleet, under Com
modore Conner, was waiting for ia
vorable opportunity to take the town.
when boat, sent by our heroine, came
of, bearing plans Of the Notifications
and a message that the American flag
would be hoisted at the moment when
Tsmpico could be easily taken. But
what was our heroine doing in the city?
She was. / must say, in very perilous
situation. Tampico was full ofthe enc
my, and her house in charge of treach-
er0us servants, who watched her every
movement. But now was the time! The
Mexican forces were Withdrawing from
the city. Mounting quickly to tho roof
she unfurled the American flag. The
manuver was discovered by the enemy
in the streets, and a party was sent to
pull down the flag. They approached
the staff, but our heroine, fastening her
arms around it, defed them to tear that
banner from its place until she had died
in its defence. Pistols and swords were
pointed at her breast; faces full of deadly
L L IL
Of woman conquered. "Take my
blood" she cried; "but for every drop
that is spilled yours shall pour out in
torrents" The Mexicans were towards
and the flag continued floating in the
breeze. The signal was seen by Com
modere Conner; the feet stood in for the
town. and Tampico was taken.
