And said she determined never to wed
Until she loved n handsome youth
Who would grant all her rcqucsts in truth
And bind llin fully never to break
The pledge he had taken for her sake
The young men stood aghast with fear;

THE NEW YORK NoRGUE AND ITs UsEs-.
Our readers VIII remember that some time
since building called the Morgue was for
mally opened in New York. To this building
are taken the bodies OF all unknown persons
found dead in that city, and In il they are ex-
posed TO view for three days after being found
so that heir friends can identify them The
horgne is kept open dav and night, and in
order 20 assist the Identification of bodies the
Clothes worn when found remain with them
and the features are kept in as good preserya-
ton as possible by a constant stream Of cold
water running over them. Whilst il has been
IN existence, the Morgue has assisted in the
Identification OF many dead bodies found in
New York. which were at once given nm TO
their friends for inierment The number found
IN The city averages six per week, generally
being the bodies of suicides, although during
The late heated term manv persons who
dropped dead from sunstroke were carried
there for Identification. During the last week
no less than 20 dead bodies of Unknown persons
were found IN New York ard carried TO the
MOrgUe-many Of whom, however were nor
identified and had 10 be buried at the public
charge. This shows that in great cities people
can live and die without any one person of
rne thousands around them knowing who or
what they aIe.-PhiId. Ledger
