beautiful poem Of Helen Brown, who
has written many verses over the
signature of " PEDE + CRUsIs:"
o vanished rivulet! the earth
Hurled by the mountain from It's SIDE
Bufled thy ripping, sparkling tide
Deep out OF sight; thy name, thy birth,
Arelost, and never, never more
The valley smileth as before.
But DER the mountain, lar away,
The angels saw that very day
A singing, shining, joyful riil
Burst 1orth from the eternal hill
| Through tOmb-lilxe cavefns cold and grey
The little riii had found its way
Ana shone more gladly pure and clear
In those TAR pastures green, than here;
This side the hlll the stream fed,
Buried, forgotten, seen no more; iW
The other side, the spirits said, fn
.'To us a stream Is born to-day f5at
That nevermore shall cease TO playl" "a
The same glad stream we knew Of yore
That sung beside our fathers doorl
LAYING THE CORNER SToRE.-The
announcement that the corner stone
of the new German Catholic Church
would be laid yesterday afternoon
drew forth vast multitudes of people
to witness the solemn and imposing
ceremonies. The procession, which
was exceedingly large. was formed at
the Church of the Holy Trinity on
Third Street, and moved about two
O'Clock. The front Of the procession
was composed of children-boys and
girls and young misses, about one
hundred Of the latter being arrayed
in white, with white wells; a lad bare
headed, with a white gown over red
one, bearing q crucifx at the head oil
the column, and Immediately behind
him another, dressed in like manner,
bearing a yellow banner. on which
was a likeness Of the Virgin Mary.
Various other banners, with different
devices, and of divers colors, graced
the procession. Next to the young
misses came, a long line Of women,
old and young, and then men, wear
ing the badges of the various bcnevo-
lent societies connected with the
Church.
Towards the rear of the procession
was borne beautiful United States
flag, following which came the Cres-l
cent City Silver Band, playing sa-
cred march, followed by the choir Of
the church. Then another society
and next six Priests and Bishop ST.
Palais in their holy investments, the
Bishop bearing silver staff or crook,
and another society and numerous
citizens closed the procession, which
moved up Third Street to, Main Street,
out Main Street to Sixth Street, up
Sixth Street to the corner of Cherry
Street. iA PNs5s rsss
Before the procession reached the
site of the church, a light rain com
menced falling and by the time the
Bishop and Priests arrived the rain
had increased to quitesa shower with
little prospect of abatement which
rendered it necessary to abreyiate the
ceremonies. ba iuea
The officiating clergy assembled in
the open area and invoked the bless
ing Of Heaven to rest upon and con-
secrate the new house of Worship.
The corner stone was laid and such
other ceremonies as were necessary
was performed when the. congregation
returned to the church where the SER
mons were preached, .lk5 Il
We regret the inclemency Of the
weather which thus married and curs
tailed the imposing ceremony and
which rendered it impossible for any
to see or hear except the few who
clustered Immediately around, and
with their umbrellas obscured the
view ~ a,8i IS rs aa1

the rain continuing, we were forced to
seek shelter and were deprived the

We were promised list of the ar

Had the day been pleasant the
crowd would have been. innumerable,
and the ceremonies interesting and
imposing in the highest degree.
