.1N INHALID'S PRAYER.

Gently, Lord, unloose the ties =
Which 60 long have bound me here;
Softly veil my failing eyes,
Lest they yield to phantom fear.
Oft this pillow Thou hast blest,
Soothe it now with final peace
Gather all the past to rest,
Rest In Christ:-then glad release
If I've learned the lessons taught
BY the pain of later years,
Lessons with deep meanings fraught,
Deeper far than earlier tears,
Let me whisper LIES adieu,
In a cadence low and sweet,
And the earth's dissolving view
Fit me fairer scenes to greet.
All! not much is left to die;
Youthful yearS-long since have fed:
Cherished hopes I'm dust now lie,
Friends most dear sleep with the dead;
Yet within me lives heart,
Clinging close unto its own;
With its all-how can il part
Going forth-alone-alonei
Whittier? Oh! not long the way
To the realm that glows between
Shadow of earth's sinking day
And yon world of bliss serene.
Oft that interlying sphere
Presses closer than the air;
When feel Christ with me here,
Then know that Christ is there.

on whom he had called; that the whole
scheme was the inspiration of mo-

work; and that he trusted that the re-
suit Of il would be, not only the eman.
cipation Of the Methodist Church from
the bondage of debt, but the strength.
ening of the bond of fellowship among
the churches of New Albion. To that

acters during the early part of the last
century. johnson, Goldsmith and Gar

and many are the men of learning and
fame who have dined and supped in its
long, gloomy rooms. Among these
was DIR. Fordyce, lecturer and essay
list OF some note i'm his time; his habit
OF dining was, however. peculiar. He
conceived the idea that men eat too
frequently, and that, like the lion, he
should only take food once in twenty
four hours. 1t was his habit to carry
out these principles at Dolly's chop
house for years, his method being as
follows: At four o'clock he regularly
took his seat at one particular table re-
served for him, on which was placed a
tankard of strong ale, a bottle of port
and quarter of a pint of brandy. Di-
rectly the waiter announced his arrival
the cook put a pound and half of
round steak on the gridiron, and on the
table some dedicate trific" to go on
with till the steak was ready. This was
usually half boiled chicken or what
ever fish might be in season. When be
had eaten this and taken a glass Of
brandy and water, he proceeded to de-
vour the steak, When he had finished
his meal he took the remainder of the
brandy, having during the dinner
drank the tankard of ale and the bottle
of port. The meal usually occupied an
hour and half; this left him half an
hour to walk to his house in Essex
street, where he arrived in time to give
his six o'clock lecture on chemistry. 1t
is not recorded what effect these mighty
meals had upon the doctors lectures

and Sixty Lives Lost.

VICTORIA, B. c., May 3.-The steamer

Alaska, was burned on Sunday night. Sixty
lives are reported to have been lost.
There were over 100 passengers on board,
and only 20 persons are, so far known 70

FURTHER PARTICULARS, FRIGHTFUL SCENES.
SAN Francisco, CAL, May 3.-News of
the burning of the steamer Grappler was
brought to Nanaimo, B. c., by John Nc
Allister. She was burned four miles of
Seymour Narlows on Sunday night at 10
o. clock. The fire was discovered by the
engineer, who Immediately reported tile fact
TO the captain. The 100 passengers, princi-
pally Cinnamon, were all In bed. An I'M
mediate search was instituted by the cap
tain, who discovered the fire back of the
boiler connections. The engineer started
the donkey engine aud connected the hose.
INTENSE EXCITEMENT.
At this time the passengers had been
alarmed, and the excitement was intense.
The Cinnamon behaved like maniacs. They
were utterly uncomfortable and seriously
impeded the action of the officers. The cap
tain ordered all shot who refused to obey
orders. Notwithstanding this the China
men rushed backward and forward on the
vessel until it was found necessary to knock
down some and carry below Others ironed.
THE PANIC-sTRICKEN CHINAMEN.
All this time the fire was gaining, and the
efforts to control it were unavailable. The
captain ordered Pilot Franklin to head the
steamer for the Vancouver shore aud beach
her. As soon as the vessel struck the sand
the boats were lowered. The excitement
was now so great that numbers of Cinnamon
jumped into the boats and swamped them.
Owing to the intense smoke those who could
| swim did not know in which direction TO
strike out, and, surrounded 10y mass OF
struggling Chinamru, were drowned.

The second mate of the ship Adam NJ.
Simpson, which was towing down the Della
ware, bound for Japan, was drowned yes
terday about / O'Clock at point between
Pennsgrove and PennsEille, near the Jersey
shore. The mans name is given rs Thomas
Fisher, but the exact circumstances of his
death are shrouded In some doubt, owing
to the fact that stories told by members of
the crew are at variance with statements
made by Captain Call and the agent
OF the vessel in this city. A
visit to the ship In a tug last
night failed TO elicit all the facts, because
the officers and men have the idea that an
investigation will be ordered, and they
desire to say nothing that will eomplicate
the situation. The agent of the vessel,
Philip Fitzpatrick, on receiving the news,
boarded the United States revenue cutter
Hamilton in the stream, but that useful
craft was without coal and could not get
under way. The story as ELECTED from the
men on the tug-boat that was taking the
Simpson to sea is to the effect thai
soon after noon a disturbance occurred
among the ships crew. Fierce blows were
exchanged and during the melee the second
mate, Thomas Fisher, was knocked over
board by one of the sailors. Efforts were
made to save the man by lowering a boat
