as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou
shalt not escape calumny. She too
felt its bitter sting, and the funeral
knell silenced the busy tongue. / sat
under the sound of the funeral sermon
and my heart grew bitter with the
very enumeration of her virtues, vir-
tues summed up-too late.
What does it matter to the "pale
sleepern whether the world condemns
or approves when "life's little day I"
is ended, its sweetness poisoned by
vituperous tongues and its sunshine
washed out with burning tears"
Does 1t matter that justice slumbered
and peace, frightened bird, found no
resting place till the " Heavenly gates
swung ajar!" God searches the heart.
Life may be rife with inconsistencies,
but that piercing eye tries the souls of
men, and he or she who filches the

pie the seed of peace and concord for

AWFUL DISASTER.
Wreck of the Steamer Atlantic
Near Halifax.
Upwards of Seven Hundred
Lives Lost.

Since the awful sacrifice of life
entaled by the loss at sea of the New
York and New Orleans steamship
Evening Star, and the Liverpool and
New York steamer City of Boston,
no sea tragedy has occurred so terri>
bly, provocative of sympathy in this
community as the wreck of the
White Star line steamship Atlantic,
bound for this port from Liverpool,
which, at about half past two yester-
day morning, went ashore at Mea-
gher's Head, near cape Prospect,
some twenty miles distant, from Hal
fax, n. s. This vessel, one of the
finest of her class. left Liverpool on
March 20 with over 1000 men wo-
men, and children on board. As
she neared the end of her voyage,
and when almost within sight of land,
she ran short of coal. The effort was
then made to enter the port Of Hall
fax. But while thus endeavoring to
reach that haven of safety a fierce
gale of wind and rain drove her with
terrible speed shoreward. The en-
gines, made weak with their short
allowance of coal, vainIy worked
against the driving waves and seas.
The ship was driven to the shore and
struck on Meagher's Head. A fear
ful scene Of despair, confusion, and
death ensued. In the wild, savage
struggle for life some $50 of the men
upon the vessel managed to make
landing, and SO saved their lives but
$50 of the numbers upon the ill-star.
red ship were drowned or were dashed
lifeless against the rugged beach.
Not a women or child upon the ship
was saved.
When the news of this awful disas-
ter reached Halifax n Government
vessel and a Cunard steamer were
despatched to the scene Of the calam-
ity; but on reaching the spot they
only succeeded in picking up the sur
vivors, and found that the Atlantic
and her cargo were both total loss,
The first intimations of the great
disaster. received in this city through
the medium of telegraphic despatch

skeletons of the dreadful revelations
which came later with full and COM
plete accounts contained m che sto-
ries told by the survivors of the ca
tastrophe.

SHALL WE say aught of the great
calamity which to-day has thrown
a shadow of sadness over all the
civilized globe? The loss of the
Atlantic with $40 souls is on every
tongue. There is nothing which
enlists more sympathy and excites
more anxiety than the fearful isso-
lation of q human freighted ocean
steamer. From the time it weighs
anchor offthe splendid shore of Eng
land until it drops its anchorin the
great harbor If New York it may
be regarded as a community
wholly cut off from the remainder
OF mankind. Those who left in
the Atlantic were in quest of the
new world, against whose stormy
coast they were IN an hour of dark
ness and tempest thrown and went
down to a sudden and terrible
death, and then went on the long
voyage to those worlds which ma
ny Columbus of other days has
discovered, but from which they
have never returned.
Capt. Williams of the lost steam
or had better have died with hero
ism than to have tempted the wrath
of public opinion which his disas-
ter seems to have excited. Over it
men and women have lost their
reason, and many, many a bereaved
heart will IN the delirium of a
wrecked and ruined love live to
mourn in tears this accident which,
while it will, for its magnitude,
tower in the history of the sad
things of this age be embittered by
the terrible conviction of mankind
that it could have been avoided.

The public alarm at the move
ments of the Pennsylvania Central
Company is about to bear fruit
New Jersey has passed the general
railroad law. Within ten minutes
after the Governor had signed the
bill the National Railway Compa-
nv fled in the Office of Secretary
of State their articles Of organiza-
ton. Its not likely that this new
company will lack either the means
or purpose to meet Mr.. Scott with
trouble elsewhere. Railroad mo-
nopolies are becoming the subject
of the most serious apprehenslons,
and unless some check can be plac-
ed upon the consolidation of the
railway lines Of the country their
possessors will at no distant day
rule and oppress the country. Since
the days when despotic and abso-
lutte rulers rendered it impossible
for the people to rise and assert
their ultimate authority there has
been no power which has worn a
look half SO despotic and imperial
as that now exhibited by the rail
road rings. Under their corpora-
tions the legislatures of the states
have been purchased and the voice
Of the people set at naught. The
next great question whi:h, like that
of slavery in the past, will yet agi>
tate and shake to its center the
union OF these States will be that
of the people against Rail Road
Rings.

THE MOURNING WIDOW.
BY JOHN @. SAKE,

/ saw her last night at party,
The elegant party at Mead's)
And looking remarkable hearty
For widow so young in her weeds;
Yet [ know she has suffered sorrow
Too deep for tongue to express,
Or why had she chosen to borrow
So much from the language of dress.
Her shawl was as sable as night.
And her gloves were as dark Us her
shawl,
And her jewels-that flashed in The
light
Were as black as funeral pail;
Her robe had the hue of the rest,
(HOw nicely it fitted her shape y
And the grief that was heaving her
breast,
Boiled over in pillows of Grape.
What tears of vicariOus wee,
That else might have suIlied her face,
Were kindly permitted to 1ow
In ribbons of ebony lace.
While even her fan i'll its play
Had quite iugubriCus scope,
And seemed to be waving away
The ghost of the angel of Hopei
Yet rich as the robe O. Queen,
Was the sombre apparel she wore;
/ m certain | never had seen
Such sumptuous sorrow before;
And l couldn't help thinking the
beauty,
In mourning the loved and the lost,
Was doing her conjugal duty
Altogether regardless of cost.
One surely would say such devotion
Performed at 80 vast an expense,
Betrayed an excess of emotion
That really was something immense;
And yet as L viewed. at my leisure,
Those tokens of tender regard,
thought: 1t was scarce without
measure;
The sorrow that goes by the yard.
All, grief is curious passion;
And your's-I am sorely afraid,
The very next phase of the fashion
Will find it beginning to fade;
Tho dark are the shadows of grief,
The morning will follow the night,
Half-tints will betoken relief
Till joy shall be symboled in white
All, well it were idle to quarrel
With fashion, or aught she may do !;
And so l conclude with n moral
And metaphor-warranted new
When measles ccme handsomely out,
The patient is safetest, they say,
And the sorrow is miidest, no doubt,
That works in a similar way.
