PHARISEE AND SADDuCEE.

To church the two together went,
Both doubtless on devotion bent,
The parson preached with fluent ease
On PharlSces and. Sadducees;
And as they homeward slowly walked
The lovers on the sermon talked
And be-he deeply loved the maid
In sOtt and tender accents said,
"Darllng, do you not think that we
Are rhaTlsee and SGdduCee 2"
She flashed on him her bright black f{cs,
In one swift look of veXed surprise,
And then he hastened to aver
He was her constant worship ler,
"But Mary, I insist" said he.
"1hat YOU are very fair, see;
know you don't care much for me,
And that's what makes me sad, you see.

THE PRIDE OF BATTERY B.

South mountain towered.upon outright,
Far OFT the river lay,
And over on the woodediheeht
We held their lines at bay.
At last the muttering guns were stlll,
The day died slow and wan:
At last the gunncrs' pipes did fill,
The sergeant's yarns began.
When as the wind q moment blew
Aside the fragrant food
Our briarwoods raised, within our view
little maiden stood.

From flresde fresh she seemed,

And, as we started, her little hand
Went to her curly head
In grave salute. "And who are you?"
At length the sergeant said.
"And where's your home, he growled again.
She lisped out, "Who Is me7

And pa and ma are dead,
And so ride the guns all day,
Along with Sergeant Ned.
And I've a drum that's not toy,

And march beside the drummer boy

"But now our hacca's all give out,
The men can't have smoke.

Won't play with me and joke,
"And the big Colonel said, to-day

The Kingan Tragedy.

NEW YORK, March 15.-The kingan
tragedy excltes much feeling on the Pro-
duce Exchange. Gould II, Thorpe said
he felt thoroughly convinced that Kin
gsn had been murdered. He believed that
when the news reached Boston or Port
land some person had identified him Ne
the mlssir e man. Ho knew from reports
that he must have had large sum Of
money with him. These men followed
him to New Brunswick, and then finding
u favorable opportunity robbed and muir
dered him. There is an opinion that
kingan had over 100000 with him.
while the reports only state that less than
$4,000 had been found on the body. He
secuted the idea Of Klngsn being de-.
faulter, as his assets more than doubled
his liabilities. Several other brokers
spoke highly of him and said his unfor-
tunate death would have no serious if any
financial effect on Change.
The detectives have ascertained that
on the day Kingsn disappeared he had
in his possession S25, 900 IN United States
and District of Coumbis 3.65 bonds.
Chief of-Police Wslling believes that
Klngsn was followed from this city by
the person who murdered him.
ST. JOHNS, March I5.-The inquest on
the body OF James Kingsn was resumed
to. day. Several witnesses were exam
amined, but nothing was elected rs to
the cause OF death.
