MY ALICE Is DEAD.

They tell me my Alice died
Like a wave on the sandy shore.
When the wind is hushed at eventide.
And the light of day is oer;
They say that she sank to rest
Like the zephyr that warns the deep,
With her white hands laid on her marb lie breast
And her blue eyes closed in sleep.
All! the sun of life went down,
Ere the hours of morn had fed
And the shadows rolled with an angry trown
Der nv darling's sunny head
And her heart grew faint and cold,
As the snow on the mountains breast.
When the frozen wings of the north wind fold
On its darkened sides to rest.
She murm ured her mothers name,
While her eyes grew bright and blue;
And their lustrous depths were the same
Which the olden moments knew;
And she pressed her parting kiss,
AS the winged moments fed;
Then sank to sleep in the arms of bliss,
With the sunshine round her head.
They parted the wavy hair,
O'er the brow W hite as snow,
And pressed the lids DER the blue eyes fair,
That would wake no more below,
And the evenings golden light
As it fell my darling there,
Revealed the form of an angel bright,
With the look that she used to wear.

How DR.. Livingstone was Killed.

Official information of the death of DR..
Livingstone has been received at the British
Foleign Office. He was slain during a sud
den and unprovoke ed encounter with the very
Zulus, of whom, in the last dispatch receiv-
ed from him dated Ngomana, May 49, he
said that they had laid waste the country
round about him. With an escort reduced
to twenty by desertions, death and dismiss
ais, he had traversed terra u,cOgnitd between
the confluence of the Leonde and Rovuma
rivers at Ngomana and the eastern and
northeastern shore of Lake Nyassa, and
had crossed the lake at some point not yet
ascertained, had reached station named
Campunda, on Its western or northwestern
shore, and was pushing westward or north
westward into dangerous ground, when be.
tween Marenga and Maklisoora a band of
implacable savages stopped the way, mix
ed herd of Zulus or Matte and Nyassa folk.
The Nyassa folk were armed with bow and
arrow The Zulus with the traditional
shield, broad bladed spears, and axes. With
Livingstone there were nine or ten musket-
eers; his johanna men were resting with
their loads far in the rear The Mantle in
stantly came on to fight. There was no
parley, no avoidance Of the combat. They
came on with a rush, with war cries, rafting
their shields with their spears. As Living
stone anu his party raised Iielr pieces tho
onset was for moment checked. Living
stone fired, and two Zulps were shot dead
His boys fred, but their fire was harmless.
He was in the act Of reloading, when three
Mafites leaped unon through the smoke.
There was no resistance there could be
none: one axe cut from behind put him out
of life. He fell, and his terror-stricken es-
cort fed. One of the fugitives escaped,
and he tells the tale-Ali \ Noosa, chief of
his escort Of porters. One blow killed DIR.
Livingstone outright. He had no other
wound but this terrible cash. From the de-
scription it must have gone through the
neck and spine up to the throat in front.
1t had nearly decapitated him. Deatt
came mercifully in its suddenness. The
Mafite had respected him when dead, for
he was stripped only of his outer clothing.
A grave was dug with sticks and the body
buried

FASHIONABLE WoMEN.-At a meeting in
New York recently held by number of gen
temen interested in the establishment Of an
institution in that city for the proper edu-
cation of young women, the following letter
from the Rev. Howard Crosby was read
ply DEAR DR.. GRIsCoM Il wish | could

Is to consider the propriety of taking meas
ures for central educational institution for
women. | have long felt very deeply the
0eed OF this movement. Our women are
last becoming butterflies for want of true
training. Most of our female schools are
fashionable lighthouses, to encourage the
growth OF hstlessness, affectation and ex-
TayagaRee. Societyis made artificial, the
laws of God despised, and all things set top
T-turvy wives lord it over their husbands,
and children lord it over their parents; wis

TIE crown. | trace nine-tenths of the flip
lahcy and falsehood of modera society to
the mockery Of an education which the
daughters of the land receive God help

The Great Secret of Masonry.

One of our exchanges relates an anecdote
of a brother who is noted for his acts OF
charity, and who is withal a man of good
presence and great favorite among the la
dies-sO much SO as to cause some jealousy
on the part of his worthy spouse One
evening a bundle came to the house for him,
Labelled, private OF course this was
sufficient for female curiosity, and therefore
INDUCED in an inspection Horror OF hor-
rOrs blankets, baby-linen, &c, greeted her
astonished vision, and dreams of two fami-
lies hoated through her BRAIN The hus-
band soon came in, and after tea, when the
wife had discovered in his eye the treachery
Of his cOnduct-as she supposed-he took
the bundle and went out, but not alone, for
his jealous wifewas on his track The faith
less husband little imagined that she, who
supposed herself SO toully wronged, was
lowering after him. He halted before
small tenement, which he entered Here
She paused to hold council of war What
tactics to follow she was in doubt, but de-
termined to storm the citadel; she knocked
and hastily brushed past the little child who
answered the summons; she stood in an
instant before her aStonished husband, the
embodiment Of injured innocence. Her
feelings were about to find expression, when
the scene before her caused her to pause. A
pale and care worn man, shivering over the
expiring embers of scanty fire, poor
woman on a sick bed, babe not old enough
for christening, and two little girls snugly
slowed away on some straw In a corner, met
her terOclOus gaze. She read the story at d
glance, and returned home with her hus-
hand, a better and wiser woman, satisfied
that she had discovered the great secret of

1t is ascertained that of all the fires oc-
curing in the city of New York full thirty
per cent proceed from incendiarism. The
motive is more frequently to recover insu-
rance rather than revenge. If this evil
shall continue to increase the rates for insu-
rance will be carried so high that honest
people will be compelled to carry their own

The Enguish Championship.

The prize fight between WormOld and
O'Baldwin for the championship of Eng-
land and f400, was to have taken place OH
Saturday, but didn't, owing to the non-apr
pearaHce of the Irish giant on the
ground. The readers of the World have
from time to time been thoroughly inform
ed on the progress of the arrangement for
what promised to be one of the finest pu-
gilistic encounters on record. 1t will be
remembered that some six months since
OnBaldwin issued a challenge which was
promptly taken up by Jem Mace tor the
"Unknown." Surmise was ripe as to the
name of the incognito who was willing to
face the giant. Some said it was Tom King,
while others insisted that no less person
than Mace himself would appear so soon
as the mask was removed. All were hard
at work endeavOring to solve the equation
and find the unknown quantity, when,
some two months since, Mace put stop to
all conjecture by naming the redoubtable
Joe GosS. Nothing could be more agree
able to the tastes OF the lovers of the p. r..
Goss had frequently proved himself no
mean antagonist for the best of them, and
even O'Baldwin, with all his inches, need
not be ashamed of such an opponent. The
regular deposits were being made, bets were
contracted, and all was going on merrily,
when -unluckily Goss insisted on trying his
strength with Allen some month or six

Rich bishops i'm a Poor Country

The oppressive character of the Estab-
lished Church in Ireland is well shown by
list recently published in England of the
Bishops that have died in the former island
since 1922, and of the assets left by each, in
hard cash, exclusive of real property the de-
ceased may have purchased, and independ-
ent of any settlements that each may have
made on members of his family. The list
begins with the Bishop of Cashel, who con-
trived to put by 100000. Three others died
with loose cash exceeding $350,0o0 each /;
another with $300000; another with $275.-
OOO, and so on. The average of the whole
was 100000, and the aggregate was 1$4,-
100000! And yet the English Church COM
prises less than one-eighth the people OF
1reland-a country that has been growing
poorer and poorer since 1922, and pouring
| off its life-blood through every emigrant
| ship. No wonder. 1t is as difficult to see

such an overgrown and rapacious system
