UNDER THE HIOLETS.

Ier hands are cold her face is white;
NOmorc her pulses come and go;
lcr eyes are shut to life and light;
Fold the white vesture, snow on snow,
Ana lay her where the yiOlctS blow.
But not beneath a craven stone,
To plead for tears with alien eyes;
a slender cross of wood alone
Shall say that there a maiden lies
In peace beneath the peaceful skies
The gray old trees of hugcst limb
Shall wheel their circling shadows round,
To make the scOrching sunlight beam
That drinks the grCenncss from the ground
And drops her dead leaves on her mound.
When DER their boughs the squirrels run,
And through their leaves the rObinS call,
And, rpCning in the autumn sun,
The acorns and the chestnuts tallb
Doubt not that she will heed thefn all
For her the morning choir shall king
Its mathis from the branches migh,
And every minstrel voice of Spring
That trils beneath the AprH sky
Shall greet her with its eaHiest cry.
When, turning round theH dial track,
Eastward their lengtheming shadows pass,
Her little mourners clad in black,
The cricket, sliding Through the grass,
Shall pipe her ev1finE mass
At last the rooteB of the trees
Shall find the Trison where she lies,
And bear the buried dust they seize
In leaves and blossoms to the skies,
So may tde soul that warmed it rise
If any, born of kindlier blood,
ShOXld ask, What maiden lies below?
Say Only this: a tender bud,
T9lht tried to blossom in the snow,
, Lies witheTcd where the viOlets blow.

returns to the operative, and these
checks are the certificates of the amount
of labor performed.
From the steamer the tomatoes fall
into hopper, and then into the stuffer,
which is a cylinder worked by treadle.
The cans used here are quarts and gal
Ions, of which large stock is kept on
hand in the loft above the packing
room. The cans are passed down to
the packer by a trough, which is kept
constantly full. The filing is done
through hole about an inch and a half
in diameter in the top of each can. This
hole is placed over the end of the stuff
fer, and with slight pressure of the
foot upon the treadle, the packer fills
his can, and nearly excludes all air and
water. The next step in the process is
regulating the cans for soldering. Some
of the cans are u little too full, and some
do not contain quite enough. This work
is done by two girls. A boy fits the
caps over the holes, and puts seven cans
upon tray, and delivers them to the
solderers This is done by boys at the
Gulden's patent Gaping machine, which
is exceedingly ingenious, and saves a
great deal of labor. The can to be cap

Brigham young's Band OF Murierers

Animated, or, rather, degraded, by
such teachings. the Mormon masses were
ready to receive that doctrine OF blood
a,onement, with which Joseph smith be,
gan and Brigham Young has continued
in cement his power. First sowing in
| tho hearts of his devOtees hatred, malice,
oil ,Incharitableness strife and animosity
aga;nst "apostates," Brigham Young was
,,renared to announce and enforce this
doctrine in spite of a few dissenting
voices, which were thereafter quickly
stilled by the knives of his assassins.
He denies TO the world the existence of
such band of assassins, but so true it is
that class OF men nicknamed Danites
and destroying angels did and does exist
that several of them have come forward
and avowed their crimes, without having
previously received permission of immu-
nifty from prosecution Nearly six hun
dred murders Of Gentiles aud apostates
from the church have Leen committed in
Utah since the Mormons took possession.
This number excludes the one hundred
and thirty emi:rants bUtchered at Noun
tain Meadows Only one of the guilty
parties have been brought to Justice, and
it is notorious that every killing was
done at the instance of subordinate au-
thorties, who followed the teachings or
instructions of the church leaders. Ey-
cry execution of murderer here, except
one, has been that OF Gentle or spos-
tate murderer, or of former Dante,

made public sacrifice. John u. Lee

A dispatch from Calcutta to the Lon
don Times says: "The latest news from the
famine districts is much more cheerful. The
general rainfall has greatly improved the

The London Times says a new COM
pany has been formed under the title of the
British and American mortgage company,
with capital Of one million pounds, OF
which it is said four-fiths of the first issue
of five hundred thousand pounds has been
privately subscribed. Right Hon, II. c. f.
ChIders is the chairman, and the object is
to lend on first mortgage of real estate I'm
the United States, the amount being limited
by the articles Of the association to fifty per
cent of the value.
It's estimated that the famine in India
will cost the British Indian government not
less than So 100000. The distress has been
greatest in the Bombay and Madras districts.
In the latter district it is reported that rains
have fallen, which may somewhat alleviate
the suffering, but the government will have
to continue the system of relief works, by
which hundreds of thousands OF people are
kept from actual starvation. Before the
British government had complete control OF
India, it is recorded that one famine swept
away about ten millions of people. The
government spent Sl0O00,CO0 few years
ago, giving timely relief to the natives in
Behar, who were threatened with extinction
by famine, Thus it appears that these
frequent famines are terrible drain on the
Indian government and If war should
break out between England and Russia,
India would be called upon to expend her
financial strength still further.

IT seems that unless wheat resembling

our agricuturists, however, can produce
Hungarian wheat, and, surely, this is
not an impossibility with our varied

A BIT OF ROMANCE.
A Young Physician BecOncs EnamuTc''
and Induces the Flight of n Beauiifei
Nun from n Catholic tuition.

Shenandoah Herald: st. Francis hos
pital, a catholic institution in Pittsburg,
has recently been the scene of a very
romantic occurrence. Some five or six
months ago a young physician obtained
the appointment of assistant physician to
the hospital. He received no pay for
his services further than his board and
unlimited command OF the splendid
wines and liquors OF the establishment.
Residing in the hospital were several
nuns and sisters Of mercy, who had taken
VOWS of eternal celibacy. One of these,
however, happened to be young, beauti-
full, intelligent and attractive, and the
physician soon became deeply enamored
of her, and, Notwithstanding her vows,
her love for the fascinating young physi-
clan became so strong as his for her. In
the daily association of hospital life they
had frequent opportunities for speaking
in that language which requires not
words for utterance, and eventually the
Young Romeo prevailed upon the not
unwilling Juliet to renounce her ardent
young life. So one bright morning, not
more than a week ago, the fair recluse
was not to be found in the stiffness Of
night she had flown, without even 60
| much as bidding her companions adieu.
| The mother superior of the establishment
proceeded to make an investigation OF
the affair. As the result Of her inquiries
she accused the young physician of hav-
| ing assisted in the nuns escape. 10 her
| surprise he not only did not deny it, but
openly acknowledged that he had opened
| the doors for the nun. The mother
superior became exceedingly wroth, and
| informed the physician that his services
would be dispensed with in the hospital
The physician is but little over nine
teen years OF age. The nun is young
lady who formerly resided on the seutf
side, and is likewise, by those who know
her, much esteemed for her many virtues
as well as her beauty and intelligence
