THE MISSING VOICE.

Fair Spring now bids her children gay
Come forth to welcome peerless May.
To borrow charms OF beauty rare,
Nor augbt Of lOvcfincsS to spare
For tai she comcs with furry train
10 cheer each heurt. to soothe each patas
Yet other gifts. Of worth divine,
We, kueeltng, ask at oiary's shrine.
While fragrant buds rich o<Iors fling,
Our hearts their tributes nlso bring
But hnrkt call from yunder shrine,
As we the mystic gnrland twine!
How sweet that summons to each ear
COLUMBIA s ptous children heari
All willto1iy they haste away
To greet Our Lady, Queen OF May.
4 chosen group, from these apnrt,
With bcaming eye and throbbing heart,
a chorus meet for anthems grand
Such form our youthful choral band.
But sect Il change comes DER ench face
Deep lines OF thought thereon we truce,
As guzing round some friend they miss.
You seek in vain our Delta's form;
Her spirit, hence by Angels burne,
Drinks from celestial fountains pure
Her joys, her hopes. her crown. secure.
On earth sha knew not SORROWS night
Source dreamed as yet OF Autunn's blight.
With you. In fervent pray'r md praise,
She Joined so oft In byKune days
Alas! yon miss that well-known Volce;
But o weep not-look nF-rcjoice!
: Tho gentle Della sings TN high,
With Seraphs bright beTond the sky.
She loves sou still, her friends Of yorc,
And, smiling, points the heav'niy shore.
The Springs fair graceA there abound
I'bro years eternal they arc found.
True child Of Mary here below,
Ai1. who her bliss above can know7
Her body rests within the grave:
Her tiny barque sped DER Lifc's wave,
Then anchored safe at Mary's feet.
The Queen, whose praises Saints repent.
Thou art not lost, but gone before.
Farewell, sweet child-we'u grteve 10 n2o2St
We claim thee yet, our sister dear;

Our heart and voice In pious lay.
We'll think thy notes all sweetly blend
That with our own they still ascend.

PITTsBURG, June 15.-This afternoon a
little girl named Tillie Elliott on the way
to school dropped slate pencil while
crossing number of planks which covered
an abandoned well located on the hillside
in the Twelfth ward. In searching for the
missing article she peered through crevice
between two planks and was Mortified at
seeing the body of man floating at the
bottom of the we'll. Word was at once
sent the police authorities, who had the
body removed, which was recognized as
that of Martin Qulrk, a shoemaker who
disappeared several days ago and was
thought to have committed suicide as he
had been drinking very hard of late. The
discovery of the body, however, gives the
opinion that he was victim of foul play,
as wounds on his head and body indicate
violence The coroner's inquest will be
held tomorrow.

MIR. sEYMouR's WITHDRAWAL.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Mr. Seymours
re.atiirmation of his refusal to accept the
Democratic nomination for president seems
to be considered by Seymour men here as
conclusive. They realize the fact that it
will not do to have Mr.. Seymour refuse a
national nomination as he did the guberna-
torial nomination in 1876. and it may be
stated that, so far as those who have been
managing the Seymour boom at Washing.
ton are concerned, 1t has been abandoned.
Senator Herman has been anxously looked
for to-day, but he has not returned. The
theory, however, that he went home to CON
suit with Seymour is without foundation.
He went home to try case, and, Mr.. Sey-
mour says, has been told precisely what
was told the Ilerald's correspondent, that
in no event would he (Seymeur) be candi-
date for the presidential nomination.

he was going to be assassinated, but he
forced his Interpreter to say he was not

been received before by such dog, that
he feared neither fire nor poison, etc.
This language having sobered the sultan,
the count gave him bottle of gin,
which produced another fit of delirium

tan is completely abruti, and that he
has no authority over his subjects, who
