Tongue can never reveal
The deep anguish feel,
In the death OF my dear only daughter;
o that could hide
In the deep swelling tide,
Or be lost in the deep rolling water.
While she sleeps in the dust,
In God may trust,
Tho my heart with deep anguish is riven,
May l hope, and not fear
Tho we meet no more here,
Wemay meet in the bright realms Of heaven.
Where that voice once so sweet.
Will be music complete,
As we roam DER the bright fields OF Eden.
There. with the blest throng
To unite, in the song
With the dear ones, the saved ones in heaven
It don't seem so far
Since the gates are ajar,
And my dear one beside the gate waiting
To welcome me in
To world free from sin,
From sorrow, from pain, and from weeping.
o my heart is so sad,
Yet, in God am glad
That at1ast sinful man will not Judge me;
But my heart broken signs
Will reach cen to the skies,
And the God of our fathers will save me.
May our Joy be complete
At last, when we meet
On the banks OF that beautiful river,
When that sweet voice | hear
In tones soft and clear.
Singing praises in heaven forever.
o! how can we forget.
That sweet voice OF Nette.
Whose music our souls thrilled with gladness
All know. she is where
She is free from all care.
Free from all PAIN, aud all sadness.
Then, my sad soul be still,
Submit, to the will
OF God, our Heavenly Father;
May this thought my heart cheer,
In my lone journey here,
At last with our dear ones well gather

TERR1BLn CATASTROPHE.

The daily papers have been for some
days past filled with the details Of an
awful and heart-sickening catastrophe
that has just happened in Brooklyn
During the performance of THE Two
Orphans at the Brooklyn Theatre on
Tuesday evening last the flies and deco
rations caught FIRE from gas jet, and
the flames spread rapidly through the
building. which was packed to its utmost
capacity with an immense crowd of
spectators. The cry Of fire. greatly
alarmed the audience who at once rush
ed, panic stricken, for the doors, knock
ing down and tramplirg upon one an
other in their hasty fight. amid the
most fearful aud hesrt-rending shrieks
and cries from the frightened and suffer
ing multitude As soon as a cessation
Of the flames aud the appearance Of
daylight, afforded an opportunity fire.
men began the work Of clearing away
the rubbish and searching for bodies.
The scene was a horrible one
where the balcony fell vast number
Of corpses were found packed in together
many Of them ournsd and disfgured
beyond all recognition Up to the las!
accounts 800 had been recovered and
it was feared the number would he
swelled to $50. The terrible calamity
cast a gloom and feeling Of sadness
over the entire nation, and for time
caused a lull in the excitement and
anxiety about the Presidential election

The Centennial Exhibition receives
warm praise because of its "great sue

which it is expected the country will
reap from it, The Governments own

officers highly commended.
Santo Domingo is the last topic. The
President expresses his conviction in
strong terms to the effect that if Con-
gress had concurred 10 his views on this
subject "tbe country would be in a
more prosperous condition to-day both
politically and financially" If Santo
Domingo had been annexed to the
United States we could have produced
to advantage from our own soil the
sugar We now get at such disadvantage
from Cuba. and also products imported
from Brazil. These take great deal
Of coin cut Of the country. and We have
no corresponding benefits by return

where their labor would be SO much
