With starry eyes and sunny hair,
That smiles and wins one unaware;
Her name Is Mary.
She has such pleasing tact and taste,
Such outward sunshine--inward grace,

If there is Mary.
She rules her home with gentle sway
And works and reigns in such way,
We can but love her more each day
This clear-voiced Mary.
And she, whose soul has so far shone
Through pure face one calls his own,
Would grace cottage or throne;
Our own queen Mary.

WITH FOLDED HANDs.-The Virginia

tiful notice of the grand passing away Of
an old pioneer:
Our brevities yesterday contained an

seated with folded hands in his chair
dead. There IL something grand ID such
death as that. To meet the King Of

sterile bills OF White Pine; he had
located claims all around him, and there
he waited until White Pine should revive
and then he would surely realize his
dream. And there he waited until thu
angel of death so softly entered that hi,

New YORK, Jan. 14.-From information

sunk by collision in the Irish Channel,
and that her crew numbering thirty men
was lost. 1t is further believed frou
statements made by sailors Of the steam
ship Adriatic that it was that vesse
which came in collision with the Harves
Queen. There is no collision on the lo
of the Adriatic and Captain Jennings ex

collision was so slight that he did no

standing that cries for help had been
heard from the water, ordered the boats
to be lowered, thinking that perhaps
some sailors had been to work on the
jih al the time Of the collision and had
been swept overheard. The ship itself
sailed off as il nothing had happened,
and after keeping the steamer hove to
about three hours without finding any
thing. 1 ordered that the bells be rung to
go ahead. Subsequently I heard some
talk among the men that we had sunk
vessel. but that was, of course, too alb
surd to be listened to. The collision
was of no account whatever. A seaman
gives the following version: On Thurs
day. December 30th, the Adriatic left
Liverpool. Friday morning, when off
Moyne Head, a man on the look out
sighted vessel on the starboard tack
and gave the alarm. and the steamer
changed her course. About ten minutes
passed and the lookout gave the alarm
again. for the two vessels were closing
fast upon each other. II was a starry
night. A moment passed. and then the
Adriatic passed into the bow of the
stranger. The engine was ut once re-
versed, and the steamer backed a mile OF
two. Boats were lowered. and rs they
we're rowed away the lights OF the
stranger sunk lower and lower, till they
reached the waters edge, and then the
hull. masts and all sunk out of sight.
Cries of drowning men could be dis
tinctly heard, and they would give direc-
tions as they foated for moment as to
the course to take to find them. No
one, however, was rescued. II would
seem that the collision was not violen,
enough to disturb the passengers, and
they only knew Of it from the talk oil
the crew. The Harvest Queen arrived
at Queenstown December Goth, from Sar
