And pure humility.
She neared the shadowy vale of death,
With precious faith divine;

"If this be DEATH she meekly said,
"And Jesus be so nigh,
There's naught of gloom, IT'S bright and clear
And none need fear to die.'
We GATHERED round her suffering couch,
At midnight's solemn hour;

Were near with heavenly power.

Were to her bosom brought:
Blessings for them, from a mothers heart.

Beneath thy fostering care,

COLLISION AT CLIPPER GAP.-A collision occur
red between two freight trains at Clipper Gap
on Sunday evening last. 1t seems that the two
trains were to pass each other at the Gap, and
that when the down train arrived it was not
switched on the side track, but ran down on the
main track, intending to back up on the side
track, and when it had got on the trestle work
this side of the gap, the up train came bulging
along, and the collision occurred on the trestle
work. damaging the engines and cars of both
trains, but injuring no person seriously. The
trains were slowing down when they struck,
otherwise they might both have went off the
trestle work and caused much damage and loss
of life. One passenger rushed to the conductor
after turning double somersault over the stove,
and asked what the h--ll he meant by stopping
SO suddenly; which question the said conductor
could not just then answer. The evening pas
senger train was detained here some hours by
the wrecking of the freight trains.

confined there at one time. We are inclined
to believe that if humanity and comfort we're the
objects Of search, the ship would have the ad-
vantage otherwise, the hospital would have a
decided advantage. The following action Of the
Board on the subject of Chinese patients is cal
eulated to inspire the most profound respect for
that body:
"He GDr. BoIan,) recommended that such patients
be accommodated at the Smallpox Hospital
"Dr- Holland recommended that all Chinese pa
tients be sent to the smallpox Hospital
"Ihe Mayor refused to concur, saying it would
not be necessary in all cases
DR.. Holland qualified his suggestion, and made
the following resolution, which was adopted: That
all Chinese seeking admission to the City aud
County Hospital be examined By DR.. BOl-u. and If
suffering from any contagious disease, or any disease
Of obnoxious character that they be sent to the
Smallpox Hospital"
