er, and staving hole in her bottom filled with
water. The passengers were safely taken off
on the 18th by coasting vessel and carried to
Waterford, Ireland. The cargo is said to be
greatly damaged. The present disaster to the
Tripoli excites the more attention from the
fact that such an occurrence is very rare in
the history of the Cunard Company, which
steamship lines in the world Since their
steamers first began to run across the Atlantic,
in the year 1889, it is said they have never
lost passenger nor mail bag by any disas-
ter. On one occasion passenger while stand
ing on deck was killed by heavy sea which
broke aboard and threw him against the side
Of the vessel, but we believe no other loss of
life was ever caused by accident to these
steamers. Only one steamer has been lost
during the thirtythree years service of thi.
company, and that was the Columbia, one Of
their old boats, which was wrecked on the
Nova Scotia coast while running for Halifax.
The Tripoli is an iron propeller of 2o5s tons,
built at Glasgow in 1865, and is constructed
with seven bulkheads. The vessel is partially
covered BY insurance in English offices. She
had a valuable cargo of foreign merchandise
for Boston merchants, and about five hundred
Storage passengers.

Fell from that mourner's eye. t'

They glanced upon the humble tear,
But, with a richer glow,
Embraced the dew-drOp freshly shook
From fair Aurora's brow. ..sr
The liquid pearl, with naughty pride,
Addressed the timid tear:
GLOW darest thou, pale, trembling thing
Beside my form appear" =. :,
The modest tear made no reply
To that proud drop Of dew, 's -''' "
Nor grieved because its brilliant form
Was robed in SUMMER hue. r..,.. ...-.

SAY on the radiant cure of certain weak
hesses, the effects Of Errors and Abuses in
early life. .a.]tss
The celebrated author, in this admirable
essay, clearly demonstrates from thirty
years successful practice, that the alarm
ing consequences of such errors and abuses
may be radically cured without the dan
gerous use of internal medicine or the ap-
plication of the knife; pointing out a mode
of cure at once simple, certain, and etfec-
tual, by means of which every sufferer, no
matter what his condition may be, may
cure himself cheaply, privately and rad
ically. 5fE'a -. H,7z ~Es

A DESERTED TowN.-A few days ago the editor of Western paper visited Meadow Lake City. This city was once towns. He went up on snow-shoes and took look at the deserted and snow covered place. The houses which were only one story in height were covered to their roofs with snow. The two-story houses were surrounded with snow to the second story. Not Q living being was to be seen by him. He was monarch of that snowy desolation. Signs swung in the cold wind, and just grazed in their swing the surface of the snow. Promi- nent among the signs was that of bro ker's office, just opposite the old hall of the Board of Brokers. The large hotel there was yet furnished, and beds and bedding remained there. Our friend, standing in his snow-shoes, gazed into the hotel while he stood on the snow sur face, level with the second story, and he saw clean linen on the deserted beds. He wanted to take a rest in the comfortable looking quarters, but there was no fuel or food in sight, and he had to go down lower to ditch tenders cabin to get fire and appease his hunger. Many of the houses have this Winter been broken down by the weight of snow on their roofs, but many more remain just as they were when their owners left The prop erty deserted is safe, as cold and snow have locked all against the depredations of burglars. Meadow Lake is Winter residence no more.
