 From the New York world-I
 Yesterday at o'clock at which hour the service of the dead was to be celebrated, there lay in Jerry McAuley's Mission Hall in Thirty second street, near Sixth avenue, the body of 8 young woman of remarkable beau ty. The coffin in which she lay was of rose wood dressed with many flowers, the offer iRgs of gentle hearts whom her sad end and sincere if late repentance had touched. Without the hall there was a large and sym- pathizing crowd of people who conducted themselves with a most becoming reverence and within many were gathered around the bier on whose faces dissipation had laid it's brutalizing mark Still they were women sorrowing for fallen sister. All exhibited emotion and several were moved to tears as the Methodist clergyman, Dr. North. in sim pie but eloquent words detailed the story of the unfortunate and pointed the lesson which it taught: 1.-The wages of sin is death" The picture he drew of the life of the unfor- tunate woman lying in the coffin was terribly pathetic.
 Isabelle Rown was the minister said, born in Delaware county, New York, twenty-eight years ago, and wore in her childhood the blossom of happier fate. She was brought up in the fear and love of God, was well ed- ucated and had been Sunday school teacher AG Uf00uDusH, u6hI d1DGuy, NueI0 bQ6 I6Sl- ded with parents most loving and Lind to her up to her marriage four years ago by the Rev. NJ. Abbott, the predecessor of Dr. North. Her husbands name is Allen. It seemed 8 marriage of affection on both sides and glided on with decent happiness for some time. As the husband has since her death displayed much good feeling it is bet ter not to enter on the causes which left her open to temptation. She descended by the usual steps and through the usual stages of prohigate progress, until she found herself in the half bagnio, half bar-room of one Mag Smyth,'' one of three small shan y-looking houses in West Twenty ninth street. and which bears all the outward marks of inward infamy and of being one of the lowest and vilest dens of neighborhood which has ob tained celebrity in infany, to the disgrace of our police system and the officer who has it in charge. The wretehed bag who carries on her polluted and polluting traffic in this den openly boasts that she Is under protecting influence which forbids the fear of intsrfer- ence. As long as Bella Allen retained her beauty and her health she was held in this mundane hell, and, as she told with loath- ing terror, obliged to witness scenes which filled even her, fallen as she was and for most of the time under the influence of 8 poison sardonically styled ''drink, :" with hor- TOT and disgust At length the to be-expect- ed and heavily earned consequence came in a sudden breakdown of health Then she was cast into the street under the escort of 6 ser- want, who the clergyman stated was instruct ed to take her to a groggery, fill her with liquor and leave her to die. Her terrible ag- eny from remorse and bodily suffering, and heartrending appeals to God for mercy and her pleading that she might have one day mere to try and prepare to meet her God, softened the servants heart, who tried to find her place to die in another house. On haor cha olunJ fO "a arrz and cried: 'tFor Gods sake, if you will help dying woman in some way get me to see the pastor of the Methodist church in Thirtieth street"-remembering that when still pure and undefled she had been married there. Her wish was complied with. The pastor received her kindly Her cry wss= Pray for mel am lost, lost, lostl VIII God have mercy on such one as me 2" His kindness soothed and quieted her. From her wild despair he had no thought that she was dying, and proposed to accompany her to Jerry McAuley's mission, where she would be cared for, and which is placed next to the Cremorne Garden. At the Mission Mrs. Mo Auley took her at once to her heart-es if she had known her all her life, prayed with her and succeeded in quieting her again. After awhile she said: Mrs. Mckinley, I am dying; can you find me place to lay my weary head and quietly end my shameful life?" On hearing this Mrs. McAuley said ''Yes, poor child, will see you cared for to the last" Mrs Mckinley ordered a carriage and took her to the Magdalen Home at Fifty eighth street, this city. where she died at p. m the same day. She was sensible up to the last moment of her life, and was not only peaceful, but joyous in her faith that Christ had forgiven her sins. After the service she was conveyed in handsome hearse, with three accompanying mourning carriages, to Maple Grove, where she was laid to sleep.

 Bavaria has been called the home of the corset, and although England, France, Ger many and America manufacturing them largely, Bavaria still holds her own in the market.
