THEMYSTERIOUS. PORTRAIT.

In small but handsomely furnished
sitting room in London hotel young
lady was sitting in an easy chair, before a
blazing fire, one dreary November after
noon. Her hat and cloak. lay upon the
table beside her, and from the eager, i'm
patient glance she turned toward the
door at every sound Of a; footstep on; the
staircase outside, it was evident that she
expected visitor.
At last the door opened and a tall, arts
tocratlc-looking young man entered the

ONLY An EM1aRANT.

Only an ennigrant lying there
On the rock-bound coast OF Halifax Bay,
With the salt sea damp on his yellow hair,
And his face aghast in Deaths diSmay!
Only an emigrant! one Of five hundred;
Hurled TO his doom when some one blundered
When the rich go down we may reckon the
cost,
And value their lives and what they are
worth;
But who will weep for the emigrant lost
This clod Of clay which numbered the earth?
Drive the nails in his coffin lid
And let his corpse from our sight be hid.
But list, pray. Leagues on leagues away,
In turf-thatcbed hut on the Irish shore,
There are human hearts which are breaking
to-day;
And bright hopes dashed for evermore,
And eyes half-blinded with passionate tears,
And the dreary outlook Of desolate years.
Only an emigrant lying there,
Lifeless and mute in Halifax Bay;
But his soul was strong and his skies were
When he left his home-a month to-day,
He fondled his child and kissed his wife,
Ere he sought new scenes In the battle OF life.
Brawny his hands and brave his heart,
And firm his belief that the hour would
come
When those with whom he dreaded to part
Should join him again In western home,
Hopeful and happy, and rich and free,
In better land beyond the sea.
Only an emigrant's family there,
In the Irish home where the news has sped (;
. But the terrible look of utter despair
Makes the face of the living as sad as the
dead;
For the light of their lives went out that day,
When the ship struck the rocks in Halifax
Bay.
Only an emigrant lying there,
With his parted lips grown ashen gray,
With the sea damp on his yellow hair,
And his face aghast in Deaths dismay!
oh, merciful God take his soul to Thee,
In better land beyond the sea!

[Tousley's Magazine.I

Playing at mall and tennis had be-
come things Of the past previous to the
accession Of the house Of Hanover. Sc
date citizens were partial to bowling,
but the commonalty preferred leaping,
wrestling, boxing, cudgel play, cock
fighting and bullbaiting, with foot ball
in the streets in cold weather, and shy
ing at cocks on Shrove Tuesday. M.
Nilsson informs US that anything that
looks like fighting is delicious to an
Englishman. II two lit } boys quarrel

a ring round them in a moment, and
set them against one another that they

let the boy get up ever so often, the
other is obliged to box him again as
often as he requires it. During the

SUMMARY.

From what precedes IT follows
That the loan is negotiated with the sole
object Of liquidatfng all former debts.
That 1t represents the liabilities OF the So
clety Of the Roman Catholic Church" which are
thereby unified and consolidated with re-
duced interest.
That 1t is secured by special mortgage en-
properties worth. FIVE times as much as the
amount borrowed, and therefore amply suf1-
cient to guarantee both the payment Of interest
and the redemption Of the capital.
Consequently the Mortgage Bonds Of the Dio~
reese of New Orleans constitute first class in
yestment, with moral and material securities
but seldom offered to capitalists,
