banks or Newfoundland. 0ne mad earned
her own living. AS I entered the room
l saw nothing attractive. No pictures
No tapestry. Not even a cushioned
chair. The snow on the window case
ment was not whittier than the cheek of
that dying girl. It was a face never
to be forgotten. Sweetness and
majesty of soul, and faith in God,
had given her natchless beauty,
and the sculptor who could have caught
the outlines of those features and frozen
them into stone, would have made him
self immortal. With her large, brown
eyes she looked calmly into the great
eternity. I sat down by her bedside and
said: ''Now tell Tue all your troubles, and
sorrows, and struggles. and doubts.''
struggles. 1t is all plain to me. Jesus
wish when you go to your pulpit next
Sunday you would tell the young people
that religion will make them happy.
ooh, death, where is thy sting? Mr..
Ta1nage, wonder if this is not the bliss
of dying?" said: Eyes, think i must

was setting, and her sister lighted a
candle. She lighted the candle for me-
The dying girl, the dawn of heaven in
her face, needed no candle 1 rose to
go, and she said: 81 thank you for COM
ing. Good night! When we meet again
it will be in heaven-in heaven! Good
night! Good night!' For her it was
good night to poverty, good night to
death; but when re sun rose again it
was good morning The light of another
day had burst in upon her soul. Good
morning! The angels were singing her
welcome home, and the hand of Christ
was putting upon her brow garland.
Good morning! Her sun rising Her
palm waving. Her spirit exulting be-
fore the throne of God. Good morningl
Good morning! The white lily of poor
Margaret's cheek had blushed into the
rose of health immortal, and the SHOWS
through which we carried her to the
country graveyard were symbols of that
robe which she wears, SO white that no
fuller on earth could whiten it.
My sister, my daughter, may your last
end be like hers!

Freshmen and Sophomopos.

The other night, at the concert of the
Yale Giee club. in New Haven, after the
first number on the programme, the fresh

down from the flies. and it bore a blue
silk banner on which was "'91." Then
q white dove flew across from the gallery
and perched above the stage, and it bore
fastened to its neck q card on which was
''91." Another dove followed, and then
several more, all labelled ..'91." Then
the sophomores got i'll their work. They
tore down the banner. caught the doves
and subdued the freshmen, and the con-
cert proceeded. There was a period of
forty minutes bctW cen the first and second
numbers ON the programme. -New York

Troubles of Polish Journalists.

The Russian authorities in Poland have
edoubled their vigor in connection with
the native press. No Polish editor may
any longer receive any foreign journal
or serial publication. Every year Polish
newspaper publishers were compelled to
send to the governor list of the journals
they wished to receive during the year;
but this list was often curtailed, and the
journals that were allowed to enter were
almost invariably defaced by the censor's
brush. This year the governor of Poland
did not even deign to answer the petition
of the Polish journalists, and all their
foreign exchanges are shut off.-New
York World.

DISASTROUS FLOODS.

The Raging Mississippi Causing
Widespread Destruction.
A dispatch from Quincy, ILL.,, says that the
Mississippi River had risen nine inches, and
was higher than ever before known, except
ing during the great food Of 1851 Rail
communication with the West was entirely
cut off, the tracks of all the roads on the
Missouri side Of the river being flooded.
Bridges and tracks were held down by trains
of fat cars loaded with railroad iron. Nearly
every levee in that section is broken, and the
loss to farming interests will be enormous
All the mills and factories along the river
front are under water and shut down. Many
fshermen's houses and other small buildings
were floating down the river, and men were
out with boats towing them ashore.
Hogs, cows, and horses could be seen SWIM.
ming in the food until they came in contact
with some obstacle upon which their bodies
would be mangled. The smaller houses In
the bottoms are wrecked. g..
Many hundreds Of cattle were drowned, SO
suddenly did the food come upon the doomed
farms and pastures Many rowboa.s and
fat boats have come to Quincy con-
tanning such household effects as the
unfortunate inhabitants of the flooded
country could hastily get together,
farmers with their wives and children finding
this the only means Of reaching q place OF
safety. At Carton, ILL.,, fifteen miles above
Quincy, school houses and churches were
filed with refugees. A largely attended
meeting was held in Quincy to provide means
of relief for the thousands of sufferers along
the lowlands. ........

A CHINESE LAWYER.
The First One of His Race Ad-
mitted to Practice in America

The First One of His Race Ad-
mitted to Practice in America.
Among the recent successful applicants for
admission to the Bar Of New York State was
Hong Yen Chang, of Brooklyn. He is the
only regularly admitted Chinese lawyer in
this country. In reply to questions Of the
presiding Judge in Poughkeepsie, before
whom his application was made, he said he
was born in China, is 81 years old, and has
been in this country fifteen years. He
studied in New York City. He says he was
refused admission at the General Term
in New York City, though the committee
composed of Erastus Ransom and
William Hornblower reported that he
had passed the required examination. He
says that Judge Van Brunt Of General Term
denied him admission for reasons which,
though he asked for them, were not given,
the Judge telling him that the Legislature
allowed the court discretion in the matter,
and all he knows is that the court did not in
its discretion" admit him.
Chang was educated at Yale, studied law
at Columbia College, and was recently natu-
rallied. The Legislature in 1887 passed an
act permitting him to again apply for ad-
mission to the Bar. In appearance he has q
decidedly Chinese look, but he speaks excel.
lent English. He is of medium height, rather
stout, and is very bright young man. The
Examining Committee said he passed very
creditable examination, and was deservedly
awarded diploma
