We come from clear streams of the Northland,
Flashed down into cataract Lights,
Whence tne grandeur of mountains majestic
Ups iars thro' the in finite nights
Ye come. flushed and fair as the morning,
Emerged from nights measureless cope,
Fulfilled Of loves calm exaltatlons,
And shod with winged sandals of hope!
Thrice welcome, o, sistersI we meet you,
Heavens chosen, invInc1ble bands;
Thrice welcome, o, sistersi We greet you
Brave spirits and resolute handsl
Ye would stir deep fountain of cleansing,
More fruitful of life giving bslms
Than the far, haunted pool OF BETHESDA,
That starred the fair Valley OF Pelmsl
At the touch of your tenderness fervid,
The poor tides of hearing shall rise:
Lol the blinded OF soul gazing G0dward,
With purged and beautiful eyes;
Lo the lepTous of mind. as Of conscience,
Receive The waves kisses, and thrill,
As the hardened defilemeDt melts slowly,
And the hot pulse of anguish grows still.
Let us join hands and hearrsl-for that Gree,
Whose charm of unsanetihed spells
The strength. beauty virtue Of ages
Hath ured to fierce, fathOm less bells,
Unquelled and unquenched in her passion,
Still merciless, maddens and mars,
Till the sunshine Is sad where she passes,
And ner shadow throws gloom on the starsl
All, Christ! the fair homes she has blasted!
The young loves made arctic in spring.
The eagle Ambitions dragged earthward,
All pa laed in purpose. as wingl
All, Chris ner malign desolationi
Her doom 10 the midnight and mire-
The stern, savage sweep OF her seourges,
The hiss of her serpents of fire.
But with prayers that shall fail not, nor falter,
With toll that still waits upon p ayers,
With faith which though child-like can conque
Leagued cohorts of giant Despairs,"
We shall battle the wine-nurtured Demon,
And change her brute serfs into men,
Till the earth that now groans IN her courses,
May win her youths gladness againl
So, come from your streams of the Northland,
Flashed down into Cataract lights.
From the sheen of your mountains majestic,
Grown softer through multiplied nights;
Come Southwark, serene as the morning,
Emerged from Nights mystical cope;
Brave heralds If love. as of warning,
Bright angels of rescue and hope.

HAIR-RAIsING SPORT.
The killing OF Tigers I'm Java-An Inn.
prOvement ON the Spanish
BuIl-Fighf.

The following is a TRANSLATION of an extra
ordinary report, published in the Java Bode,
the chief paper of Batavia: yesterday
(July 2d), so says the Matarann, a Newspaper
al Djoodj akatrs, there took place here The
announced clearance among the tigers be-
longing TO his highness the Sultan in order
10 make room for fresh supply when the
new tiger-pens will be built. At about 10
O'Clock am. the Sultan, the resident military
com mander, assistant resident and other
specl ators appeared behind the kraton and
seated themselves in grand stand con-
structed for the purpose. Thousands of
Javanese Hooked TO the spot to see the COM
bats. Soon fight between a royal tiger and
buffalo together in pen was commenced.
The tiger was several times tossed in the air
aud then gored TO death by the buffalo, which
had been made as furious as possible BY
peppered water, burning nettles and red hot
iron bars. The combat lasted fully two
hours. Afterward began the ranlpoken
or tiger flight. On the plain along
side the krston stood Javanese armed
with stout spears fifteen 10 eighteen feet
long, drawn up in rows one behind the other
forming altogether an extraordinary large
square. The two foremost rows lay kneeling,
the Two hindmost stood erect. 10 the center
Of the open space we're thirteen straw-roofed
wooden pens, in each of which was a tiger.
At given signal a musical instrument
called the gdHetun begins playing a martial
air TO slow measure. Three tiger-keepers
then step out of the ranks and approach the
cage. Two of them bear each burning
torch, with which they set fire to the straw.
The Tiger, frightened by the shower of sparks,
is then forced out into the open space, but
knows not whittier to turn. 1t moves around
and seeks whether it eau 6nd an outlet, until |
1t endeavors either by desperate spring TO
get away over the human wall which keeps |
ii inclosed or tries TO creep through under |
meath. But it falls pierced by the mary spears |
which have struck it. 1t utters q savage cry, |
which is drowned by the applause and !
shouts of the multitude. In silent agony il |
strikes around furiously with its mighty |
pave. The shafts of the spears often break |
like glass. In such cases single blow might |
cost the life of any unfortunate within reach |
Of its claws. 1t is sfterward killed in due /
orm. This scene took place in the same
ray thirteen times successfully with as M any
igers, the festivity closing at 2 o'clock pm.
Only few accidents occurred. One soldier,
BY i'll luck, received spear thrust when
combating with a tiger, aud was severely
wounded in the leg. A native received
bite when one of the tigers broke through the
quare and was killtd outside it, after causing
,reat commotion among the spectators. An

A WOMAN'S MEMORY
Cleared of Completely in a Great Crime
After - Great Many Years.

Tsrdy PREPARATION has at length been made
to the memory OF MORALLY wronged Ger.
man woman, whose name has been uniusly
| held up to public scorn and contumely in
the place OF her birth for more than two
| centuries aud half. In the year 1647 the
city OF Tangermuende was destroyed by FIRE,
and two years later two persons were tried,
condemned, and executed at Brandenburg
for acts of iDcendiarism, alleged to have
caused the calamity in question. Among
those who suffered was Crete Minden, the
daughter of a Tangermuende patrician. She
was stripped and chained TO a tall post in
the market place. Tue Eve fingers Of her
right hand were torn off with red hot pincers
Her arms and breasts were deeply scared
with glowing irons. Finally she was burned
TO death slowly. From first to last her mar
tyrdom lasted nearly an hour.
Ever since that time so-called "Confia-
grafton Sermon" has been preached on each
successive fourteenth Sunday after Trinity
in the principal Tangermuende church.
This discourse describes Crete Minden as an
abominable monster, the refuse of mankind,
who burned down her native town to revenge
herself upon the municipality for, as she be-
Iieved, Withholding her psternal inheritance.
1t was a story by the eminent novelist, Theo-
dore Fontsne, in which Crete Minden fig
ured az heroine, that suggested an investi-
CATION of the documentary evidence con-
necied with her case to Ludolf Parisius, a
member of the Reichstsg, aud this gentle
man found out that The unfortunate won an
had most undou btedly been the victim of
judicial murder.
He lost no time in commune ating his dis
coyery to the Tangermueude authorities
and on Sunday, the 10th of September, when
the clergyman on duty assembled the pulpit
10 preach the two hundred and sixty-fourth
"Confsgratiou Sermon" he prefaced his dis
course by announcing to the congregation
that recent inquiry into the origin of the
great Tsngermuende fire had completely ex-
onerated Crete Minden from completely with
the authors of that catastrophe. For many
days before and after the FIRE she had been
lying on bed of sickness many miles from
langermuende. Subsequently she had been
wroDgfully accused, sentenced, tortured and
done 10 desih with the utmost barbarIty, an
absolutely innocent woman.-Londoa Isle-

WOMEN OK WINE.

Oh, weak and foolhardy Reformer,
To substitute women for wine,
The glow OF whose presence is warmer
Than the sunniest juice of the vine.
Believe me, less fatal are juleps
Than women in witchery skilled;
For there oozes more venom from two lips
Than ever from grain was distilled.
II wine makes us brutes, love is able
To turn. US fools with like ease,
II one lays Us under the table,
Tother brings us at least to our knees
Who barriers for beauty his whisky,
The change will be cert-in to rue.
For her eyes shed spirit more frisky
Than turks in the best mountain dew"
No spirit so ardent as woman's,
So sure to intoxicate man; -> 80
Her touch is detiriuu treuaens
That maddens him more than the can.
The glance of her eye is "blue ruin"
Her blush is the blood of the vine;
Her pout is q punch, in whose brewing
Tart, sugar and spirit combine.
oh, then, shun such tempter as this is,
No commerce SO hazardous court;
Who embarks on the waves of her tresses

sAUNDERS,
The Dirty, scabby, IiI-smeIIInK and
Misery Lawyer or Charles II's Time.

In the reign OF Charles II a dirty boy,
who seemed 10 know nothing about himself
except that he had the name of Saunders,
was taken from the cutters of ChaBcery lane
London, and set to keeping the door of an
attorneys Office. There he learned 10 read
and write. He was made clerk, and alter
ward, ing admitted to practice, he became
one OF the greatest special pleaders in En-
gland. He rose to be a sergeant, then solicit
tor-genersl, and in process Of time attorney
general, the official head of the profession.
Ali this while he stuck to the habits of dirt
and dishonesty that he had contracted when
a waif of the streets. He lived alone on
Butchers row, and was 30 filthy in bis
person that he broke out into running sores,
smelling 80 badly that it was a martyrdom
to sit near him IN court. He did not pre-
tend to have any moral principles. Heeven
boosted of his personal uncleanness, and told
young barristers that, although he never was
married, il was not a fact TO be denied that
be had issue of his body. Nevertheless he
was tolerated and promoted by q corrupt
ministry, which needed such service as he
alone could render, for he mad ability, wealth
and impudence, q heart that feared neither
God nor man, aud a cheek that blushed at
nothing. Altogether he was in their eyes q
very "grand party" At length, when
they wanted an INSCRIPTIONS tool at
the head of the judiciary 10 decide most
unrighteous cause in favor of the crown
(Rex Us. the Corporation of Londonl, they
made Saunders chief justice of the Kings
Bench. Then the decent men of the law de-
termined that they would stand him no
longer unless his habits were reformed.
They washed him by main force, cleaned
him up, compelled HIM TO wear the apparel
of gentleman and to live in a respectable
part OF the town. But cleanliness was fatal
TO him. The grand old party died of it in
less than two months. And now here are
Stewart and Wolfe, and Marshall and Lear,
and Mitchell and Mcclure and hundred
thousand other Republicans of honor and
sense, who declare that they have endured
as much as they can from the "grand old
party" They will not suffer the martyrdom
of sitting with it longer; the running Issues
of its body are too offensive to be borne.
They insist that it must be made decently
clean and put on its good behavior. There
fore they are after it with soap and rain
water, and sponges, and towels, and whole
suit of good clothes, determined to wash it
and dress it in spite of its cries and struggles
They do not mean TO kill it, but perhaps,
like Saunders, it cannot survive the loss of
it's filth At all events It's friends and guar

test violently that the cruel Inde dependents
