MY FIRST GRAY HAIR.
BY MARY E. NEALY

BY MARY E. NEALY.
And is it SO? art thou gleamiug there,
Amid the folds of my dark brown hair,
Like fake of snow on roses cheek,
Telling what words can never speak;
Like brown sere leaf on summer bough,
Tolling the bell of life's golden NOW;
Thou shining token that youth is past,
Though grave Of the hopes that could not last !!
I have often wondered how [ should feel
When years and cares should round me STEAL
TILL from those tresses, silver CLEAN
Would fall on my heart like frozen stream.
And now for months as my brain has whirled
In its bitter war with a cold dark world
Each new hope swallowed in deep despair,
have wondered to sec no silver hair.
But here it is; it indeed has come;
And it almost strikes my spirit dumb,
When | think how short time it seems,
Since the fairy fancy of girlhood's dreams
Twiued glory around my woman's brow,
And pointed my heart to this very now,
AS the time when love and hope should twine
Their richest joys at my full life's shrine.

RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION persecution of
Christians in Cochin-China commenced about 80
years ago, and within few years two Spanish blsh-
ops, named Diaz and Melchior, twenty-five French
and Spanish priests, fifty native priests, and eighty
native Christians have been put to death. The
latest instance of martyrdom occurred about the
time of the arrival of the avenging expedition,
February ID young man from Cochin-China
had been educated at the college in Penang for
the priesthood He was detected, arrested, and
condemned to be executed. The sentence was
sent to the King for approval, without which no
execution can take place. Usually reprieve is
granted, and often the sentence of death is COM
muted into perpetual exile or imprisonment for life
But in this case the King, seeming to be peculiarly
indignant and exasperated, ordered the executione1
at once to proceed to the Jail and strike of the
wretched young mans head 1t was done, and
native Christian, watching his opportunity, took
piece of paper, and dipping it in the fresh blood,
sent it to the father who had educated the young
martyr. The father exhibited to the correspond
ent of the Journal of Commerce the letter contain
ing the particulars Of the execution and there was
the paper stepped in human blood, the blood of a
Christian martyr. He gazed upon it in silence and
horror Yet it is estimated that the French
missionaries have made 100000 converts in Cochin
China.

THE MASSACRE AT PERUGIA.-An American
gentleman named Mr. E. n. Perkins, of Boston,
who arrived at Perugia from Rome on the 18th,
with Mrs Perkins and three other ladies, had a
narrow escape from the hands of the brutal soldle
ry, who burst into the Hotel de France, where he
was staying, shot the master of the hotel and the
waiter, and would most probably have murdered
the travellers also, had they not been concealed by
the mother of the unfortunate hotel-keeper in a
dark recess leading by secret door out of one of
their bedrooms In this sufocatng hiding place
they all remained for fourteen hours, and when
they last ventured out they found that the whole
hotel had been Quilted, furniture and property de-
stroyed or carried off, and that Mr. Perkins lug
gage containing money and valuable effects of
many kinds to the amount of nearly $4,000, had
likewise become the prey of these freebooters in
uniform The u. S. minister in Rome, MIR Stock
ton, has received an exact account OF the occur
renee from the sufferers, and is making energetic
representations to the government in order to OBJ
tain suitable reparation.

How TO AVOID THE DANGER OF LIGHTNING.-
During thunder storms, persons in houses should
sit or lie in some place far distant as possible
from the chimney and the most exposed parts of
the wall The middle of the room if it is large,
is the safest locality. Sailors the sea should
keep as far from the mssts possible, and farmers
in the fields should never seek shelter under trees.
Horizontal strokes Of lightning sometimes takes
place, and several persons have been struck while
sitting at an open window during thunder storms.
Every window of room in which persons are sit
ting, in such cases, should be closcd fash of the
fluid, which would pass through open window
into an apartment, will be conducted down through
the floor and wall to the earth, if the window is
shut
