"Fm looking for my brother" sad young man;
me went to Staten Island about Cne O'clock" And
mere ne made application for admittance, which
could not be granted at that time.
At three O'Clock and from tnat to four the crowd
outside the hospital was fully 3O0O and from five to
six O'Clock it had Increased TO fully 5000
persons, in which every Class of society was
represented, blocking up First avenue and Twenty
Sixth street in such manner to render the pas
sage OF cars and vehicles almost impossible each
one portraying his couutenance the fearful inter-
est he felt respecting this horrible calamity.
At seven o'clock there were displayed In the
Morgue thirteen dead bodies for identification, and
numberess people were allowed by the police to file
past singly.
There lay The portly man OF fifty and the infant OF
TWO or three years, the OF mature age and the
maiden in her teens. For the most part their cloth
Ing was respectable and decent, but the aspect OF
their countenances was CHASTITY in the extreme, and
as the anxious people passed slowly by the ex.
clamatlons OF horror were painful and numerous.
Outside those who had seen the fearful sight were
gathered in anxious groups repeating the story Of
what they had witnessed.
Presently there arrived an Adams EXPRESS
wagon. covered with an awning and followed by an
excited multitude. The iron gates of the hospital
were slowly swung open, but the wagon passed on
down to the dead house, and the murmurs Of the
multitude increased in intensity.
Inside the dead house the scene was sickening
and heart rending ss the cOrpses were brought in;
men, women and children, saturated ana bleeding,
clothes torn, hair streaming wildly, ewes garing,
HORROR AND DESPAIR
depicted upon each face; 1t was, indeed sight to
shock the strongest nerves and send chnl TO the
b0ldest heart.
The effect OF the news OF this terrible calamity
upon those who had relations or friends pleasure
seeking in that. or even in any other direction, was
to bring them to the spot, and after making what
inquiries they could, hurried away 10 the other Hos
pltals, to repeat the same horror stricken tone
the questions they had asked at the Bellevue, and
from thence to return again to repeat them more
anxiOusly than before.

Here's the certificate, sir.
Eyes, yesp -
And this is my wife" added Joe,
passing up the beautiful and bewitch-
ing bride, the lovely Minnie.
WHAT roared the old file,
"What did you say, you villain, you
scamp, you audacious cheat-you--
you''--
"It's the truth, sir, we're lawfully
married. You assisted me; you
planned the whole affair. You lent
me your horse, you thought me last
evening worthy Of any mans daugh-
ter, you encouraged me, you pronis-
ed me the cottage at the end of the
Ian"
II didn't deny it! You're a.

Calmly, now, SIR"
The entreaties of the happy couple
were united to quell the old mans
ire and persuade him to acknowl-
edge their union.
The father ut length relented.
1t was q job of his own manufac-
ture, and he saw how useless it would
be TO destroy it.
He gave his consent reluctantly,
and the fair Minnie Danforth was
overioyed to be duly acknowledged
as Mrs. Walker.
The marriage proved a joyful one,
and the original assertion of Mr..
Danforth proved faithful in every re-
spect. The cunning lover was a
good son and faithful husband, and
lived many years TO enjoy the happi-
ness that followed his runaway match
while the old man never cared to
hear about the details Of the elope-
ment for he saw how completely he
had oyershot his mark.

TnELATEsTP PHOTOGRAPH OF
BgOwNLOw.

One of the saddest spectaclcs pre-
sented in the Senate Chamber, says
the Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, is the big cusb-
ioned chair which holds the last NOR
tai remains of poor Parson Brown
low, OF Tennessee. 1t sits just at
the left of the Presidents rostrum,
on the skirmish line. There they
bring every day tho withered rem
nant of tho Apostle of Hate, and
over the chair there seems to hover,
Mt all hours, the black angel of death.
Sallow and emaciated, trembling
with palsy in every limb, he sits and
watches the proceedings around him
with what seems fearful interest,
and only the little light which burns
dimly in his once vicious eye is left
to tell of the fierce spirit which, in
times past, inhabited that never very
prepossessing frame. His right arm
lays by his side, and the thumb of it
twitches and vibrates with the regu-
larity of heartbeat. They set a
glass of water upon his desk, but he
never moistens his lips. Papers lay
before him, but their neat order is
never disturbed. There is no more
expression upon his shadowy pinch
ed and leathery face than you would
expect to see upon the index of the
mummy in the British Museum
One can look upon the still
vigorous yet stricken Morton and feel
that he bears the retributiye imprint
OF vice, but one cannot contemplate
poor old brownlow without an ex-
preston of generous sympathy. He
seems to be waiting his summons
There may be much of the old vitali-
ty in him yet, and itmay be many days
before they carry him into the cham
ber for the last time. It seems as
though at times to-day, his old viper
GUS nature returned to him, and he
yearned to mingle in the heated de-
bate. But the present, with its tur-
moils, and the future, with its hopes,
are butmists to him. He can only look
back over his pathway strewn with
wrecks and lined with the rank weeds
of bitter hate and partisan selfshnes.
Let us be charitable enough to hope
that he has. the satisfaction which
comes of belief that his life has not
been without its fair proportion OF
honesty and sincerity.

MY SHIPS.

oh. many day do turn away
With weary sigh on my lips,
Saving, nevermore on the thrsnging shore
viii watch for my absent ships
But still in my dreams forever IL seems
They are sailing nearer to me;
So every morn a new hope is born
And again watch by the sea.
And oft when feet with = music sweet
Sails in for the yosng and the gay,
/ list 10 the shout that rings gladly out,
But mine are still sailing away.
To many, ah, me. that watch by the sea,
Al.eif in sorrow and pain,
Though esrfy and late forever they wait,
Their ships will come never again.
Yet ever there stand on the pebly strand
An eager and hurrying throng;
And often hear the clamor of cheer
Glad echoes Of laughter and song
But Oft and again of sorrow and pain
DO hearkeu the augGished cry,
When many sail that we joyous hail
But laundering wreck goes by
viii ye anchor soon, and with every boon
That | bade ye seek and briugg
Or far viii We sail. until darkly fail
The flowers Of LIES beauteous Spring.
Until Youth is fed, until Hope il dead,
Still waiting and Watching in vain,
With siiYeFy hair, with wrinkles of care,
Ny ships that sailed over the main.
If but deathless fame or . uorshipped name
had built re so fair to hold
IT nothing but these could my heart appease,
Or but jewels and land and gold.-
| More blest were the fate forever TO wait,
To hail ye again as ye went;
Yet over the sea come hifber TO me-

The library is not his only abiding
place. He spends hours in what
would be called "pottering around"
looking after the stock. the pigs, and
the chickens. and making believe to
know something about farming. 1t
is his chief delight TO walk up and
down in the shadow Of the trees, APP
parently lost To all sensation but the
consciousness of being.
In matters of business he is very
child, which may account for his not
being n man of wealth.. He has an
interest IN California silver mine,
which, as far as heard from, has
proved his sinking fund. His home,
though beautiful, is an inexpensive
one. and he leaves the entire manage
ment of it to his wife, who is eini-
nently capable of the charge.
