The salaries Of twenty-eight prelates
If the Established Church of England

to this you must add i3S,OO0 for as

A Sad. Strange Fancy.

New York Letter St. Louis Republican,
There dwells in this city lady who
in all respects seems a sane and sensi-
BILE woman. She lost five years ago an
only daughter of great promise, seven
teen years old, and the idol Of the
mother. Since her child's death she
has had the room she used to occupy
cleaned daily, and the untouched bed
pulled to pieces and made over. She
sits before vacant chair at the table
and carefully fills the unused plate, and
spring and fall buys the newest and
pretticst things for "Addie,'' giving
away the last years garments, "Ad-
die having done with them. There is
no appearance of mental gloom or dis
order about her, yet she carries this
yegary into every at Of her life. Rid

4 HappY FnInilY.

The San francisco papers tell us OF a
poor Missouri family who found them
selves perfectly destitute in San Fran
cisco, and also found friends in the hour
of their greatest need. Such incidents
are pleasant to read OF. and the recital
always puts rs in better hum or with
humanity, no matter how content and
self-satistied we may be. A poor man
of forty or thereabouts, thinly clad
and starved-l Hooking, went to the wharf
one evening and inquired of a. ltng-
shoreman for a vessel going to Mendo-
Gina. It was getting late, the man was
shivering with cold. and conversation
ensued between the two poor men.
The stranger said he was from Missou-
ri, and had with him family consist
ing of wife aud eight children. The
wife and children soon came up: they
were all shivering and starved-looking.
The man SAID he had expected
to find friends in San Francisco.
but ascertained that they had gone
to Mendocina. The family had been
obliged to sell all the clothing they had.
except the thin covering they had on,
to buy food. They had no money and
no place to sleep, and the night wind
was coming chilly and cold from the
sea- No vessel was going that night.
The longshoreman was touched in a
tender place. He was rough, but he
understood human nature; saw that

took off his hat and put his heart and
dollar in it. He carried round the hat
among his fellows, all poor, and in few
minutes collected $50, which he handed
to the distressed MissouIian. The mar
was surprised and overcome with emo

Ireland.
Dublin Sept q Correspondent Of the New
York World


Dublin (Sept, o Correspondent Of the New
York World.
The population of Ireland decreased
by l,522.3l9 persons between the years
lS4l-5l, by 1884 in the next decade.
and by 391, POS between the years 1851
II. There is reason to believe that
this decrease by the end Of the present
decade will have wholly ceased-that
is, that the emigration will not exceed
the natural increase Of the population.
The condition of the country is now
really prosperous. Wages have greatly
advanced in consequence Of the limited
supply of laborers. The reform Of the
land law has had most excellent ef-
feet, and not unfrequently Irishmen re-
turn from America with fortunes
gained there to take up their
abode in their native land.
The aggregate investment in Gov
eminent stocks, joint stock banks, and
savings banks in 1864 were f54,SSS, 900;
but on the Goth Of juno. 1874, they
were f67, 100000. an increase of % per
cent in ten years. The value Of live
stock in 1864 was e30.72S,El0; in 1874
it was f37 .225.8 o7. 1t is to be remark
cd that although in thirty years Ireland
has lost about 3.00O,O06 Of her people.
the relative proportion OF Catholics and
Protestants remains almost unchanged.
In Munster, in 1861, 938 out Of every
1000 were Catholics: the proportion
now is 93f to each 1000. In Kerry the
Catholics in 1851 were 967 in each 1000:
they now are q6S in each LOCO. In
protestant Ulster-which is Protest
ant only in name-therc were 81 Cath
olics in each LOCO in 1861, and now
there are 756 to each 1000. The old
faith does not die out, despite the fact
that the emigrants are for the most part
Catholics.

FL
No tears for them who bore the proof
Of heroes, in their foemen's seal
OF blazing shaft, and blunted steel,
And ramping chargers needless hooi.
Free from the duty of a breath,
From sense OF woe and sense Of wrong,
They sleep, as wheels the world along.
In tx v eet dignity OF death
No tears for them! Tears, then, for whom
Tears for ourselves, whose little lives
Bound to our children and our wives
Or fastened 10 some precious tomb.
Where sleeps an idol; baser still,
Tied TO our lucre and our lust,
Betrays eacL hour the sacred trust
Left us by heroes to fulfill?
Tears for the thieves who rob the dead.
In robbing those their death bere1t,
And waste the gold that love has leit
By gambling with the nations bread!
Tears for the demagogues who trade
In tends OF party and OF race,
And seek tor pluuder aud for place
In stri(es their own vile hands have made!
Tears for the Rings Of perjured souls
That grind the rich aud poor alike,
And steal the Qrist from wLlco they
strike,
-.or those they serve, the stlngy tolls!
Tears for the realm that blindly shelves
l. Its lnen OF noblest brain and braWn,'
And crowds lis councils wit the spawn
OF little 1nen who choose rhemrelYes
Tears Tor tie men who baseiy hold
The nation to its paper lies,
Against tie wisdom CT the wise,
And shame the eagle II their goldl
Tears for the land that builds Of rags
Its edifice OF power and wealth,
And holds the happiness and health
o. sovereign States in carpet bags.
Ay, tears Tor those who, shred and shorn-
Not biameleSs, but our brothers still
In common 10, and Gods good will
Are bleeding, tainting, tossed and torn;
By Earring policies and feuds
OF race with race, till fain to fly
. From their ancestral homes, or die
IL silent, hopeless nultitudes.
o bro Ihers of The gun and glaive.
O living Army OF the James,
How shalt we answer 10 the claims
q the beloved and buried brave -.
BY pledging now our good right hand,
By ple1ging row our loyal word,
That, selfish lust, to love deferred,
And gain TO God and native land,
We here declare eternal strife.

Who traffic in the nations woes,
And live upon the nations LIE.

There is no cure Tor teud and schism

Who mark our petty ends and aims,

And save your country once again.
