Never shall we forgetthc bright
loook upon her face whilst she was
being lead to- and from the water.
The most skeptical would have be-
lieved in her conversion, not a cloud
OF a frown npon her puts brow, but
that "peace which passeth understand

glory over her, lwreathing her life in
heart-smiles, Frightening and soften

devoted follower Of the meek and
lowly Jesus. to whose, bosoin she has
gone, ana is now resting Upon, whilst

proved a blessing, q tender and affect

A few months sinceS She had pre-
sentiment, that her days were few, and
| when telling her mother about it'she
said "0h motherif am called to GO
pray God to take my babe also. and
as if in answer to her prayer God
called the little one home as pure as
lit was when he entrusted it to hei

this month (Dec.) she was taken sick
and in few days her condition be-
came critical, in the meantimeas be

aud whilst its tiny grave was being
made, the mother closed her eyes
upon weeping husband, mother, father
brother and friends and her spirit
scared to its God. Mother and child
were laid to rest in the same coffin
Ahl Jessie why should we mourn your
untimely death, when you have gained
every thing by the transition?
To tho weeping mother bcieft o.
her only daughter what can we say tc
comfort her, here is a grief apart from
Ethe others. wholly unsefsh and pure
| stronger than death and lasting as
long as life. May God isin in6nit,

FREMONT TEMPLE, BOS-
TON, IN FLAMES.
Destruction of the Large Or
gan of the Temple.
THE PARKER HOUSE IN GREAT
DANGER.
THE TEMPLE DANCED To THE
AMOUNT OF 5000, O00
Several Firemen Injured by the Falling
Walls.
THE PARKER HOUSE DAMAGED
$4,000 BY WATER.

BosroS, August Il. Fire broke out about
ii tonight, in the rear portion of the roof of
fremont Temple, on fremont St, adjoining
the rear portion Of the Parker House. The
flames got good Roadway before the arrival
of the fire department, and before the engines
got fairly at work the roof was DESTROYED and
portion of the walls on the side and rear
had fallen in, almost completely destroying
the buildings.
The fine organ near which the fire broke
out is destroyed, and the building is very
thoroughly Quilted. The blaze soon assumed
the proportions of an extensive conhagration,
aud their proximity to the Parker House oc-
casioned general alarm to the guests, nearly
all of whom had retired. The hotel seemed
in imminent danger, and the guests made
hasty preparations for a change of quarters,
many of them not being willing to stand the
risk of the hotel catching fire, promptly left
the house, while others quickly got their
packages in the halls and corridors, awaiting
the moment when it would be necessary to
leave. In about an hour, however, the fire
was well under control and beyond a slight
scorching of the walls in the rear portion of
the hotel no damage was done.
Loss on the Temple, which is owed by the
American Baptist Society, is estimated at
from 500, 900 To Sl25, 900.
Several fremen were injured by falling
walls, but none are thought to be dangerously
hurt.
Later. The loss will reach $500, 900; in
surancc. 100000 The Parker House was
damaged 5000 bv water

SOUTH AMERICAN WAR.
A Gillian Transport of Four Hundred
Men and Officers, with all their Equip.
ments, Captured.
Business in Peru and all along the COas
Utterly DemOralized.
TIE OUTLOOK DISCOUR1GLNG.

panama, August .. The Pcruvians ap-
pear to take the initiative, once having sat
| isfied themselves of the greater speed of their
few ships, insignificant in numbers and
| strength as compared with their enemies.
On the last raid of the Huscar, the Gillian
| admiral was unable to catch the feet of the
antagonist, mi returned Iqueque and bombar-
ded the town.
The moment news of the affair at Iqueque
arrived orders were given to the Huscar,
Union and Picomayo to go south and raid on
the undefended ports of Chilli This they did
cleverly avoiding the whole CHILEAN fleet,
which was fooishly concentrated at Iqueque.
They visited Tocopilla, huncfogasto, Cal
dara ,Chaneral and various other inferior
ports, and DESTROYED launches in each.
They captured the splendid Gillian trans
port Rmac which was conveying to Autofo-
gasta hatcalor cavalry, consisting of 400
men and officers, with their arms, horses and
equipments.
Three sailing vessels with coal and coffee
were also captured
The people are exasperated at the cause of
the war and censure is visited upon the gov
eminent by the press for inactivity, Incidence
and stupidity.
Calama has been evacuated by the Chilans
and all their forces have been concentrated
on Autofogasta, preparatory to a descent on
the Peruvian coast, probably where least ex-
pected.
The Bolivian troops have been called by
this time, but not in force and those which
| are there are removed GOO miles from the
source of supplies, and probably either will
be starved or surrender.
Business in Peru and on the whole coast
is utterly demoralized.
