LORD HARRY.

Lord Harry, he sat on the shingles one day.
And Ibis lordship with jewels was laden,
And he lifted his eye, as sweet Polly came by
The banniest trim fishermaiden.
He gave ger stare, with his lordliest air.
And h said: "rve determined to marry;
I've gco~s and I've land and here is my hand
think I'm u CATCH" said Lord Harry
" And what will you give to your LADY," said
she,
ITO the bride whom your lordship may hon
orr"
"Why, dinners and dresses and money" said
he,
And jewels to sparkle upon herr
" II you give nothing more, SIR" the maiden re
piled,
Il pity the girl whom you marryr'
While his lordship looked down at her rough
fisher gown,
"What more can she want?' cried Lord
Harry.
"When have lover" sweet Polly replied,
And she blushed with a smile that was
sunny,
I" He must give me his heart, ere he makes me
his bride,
For tits love that ask for-not money!
She made him curtsey, and off went my
lord,
And invited a duchess to marry;
She was ugly and old, but she'd plenty OF
gold,
And she made good match for Lord Harry

The steady reduction of the death
rate of London in recent years, notwith
standing the increase in population and
overcrowding, has been most remarka-
BILE. 1t fell below 90 per 1000 for the
first time in 1885, when it was 1913, and
in the following two years it was 1919
and 1916. In 1888 it further declined to
1876, which was mentioned by the reg
istrar-general as ''far the lowest death
rate yet recorded in London;" but the
report for 1889 will be much more IA
vorable still-the rate having fallen to
IT'S.
"A case of money lending at 720 per
cent. came out in the Lord Mayors
Court in London short time since. The
defendant in the case, named Bryant,
said he was a cashier at salary of 50
per week. He had been clerk in the
London and Westminster Bank, but in
consequence of difficulties with money
lenders he had been discharged. His
fellow-clerks then subscribed and put
his wife and two daughters into BUSH
ness. On this particular debt he Dor
rowed s12 and gave bill for Els. He
had paid interest at the rate of 100 per
cent. on the original loan, and was now
summoned for the amount of the loan.
The Judge made an order for shillings
per month.

fires on shore and two men standing
near the edge of the bank. As the
Florida drew near one of the men ran
off with the speed of deer, and the
other, almost equally alarmed by our
sudden appearance, darted in behind the
trees and regarded us from that point Of

on shore and tried by persuasion to
coax him to come to US, but it was use-

NEW York, Oct. 27.-The ninetieth an

house by all the German societies and
prominent clubs Of the city. The great hall
was thronged with people, including most
all the prominent Germans of this and
neighboring cities The festival was
opened with the Kaiser march rendered
by the Metropolitan orchestra, augmented
to near a hundred members, and led by
Anton Zeidel. Ferdinand Metz, president
of the German society, then delivered the
opening address in German. The prologue
of George Juraschek was then spoken by
w. Schlismann and Hail Columbia fol-
lowed by the Beethoven Mannechor, as
sisted by the orchestra. General Franz
Siegel delivered an Grafton in German in
which he pointed out the great events and

and remarked his want of self-glorifica-
ton. His life had become as retiring as it
had active before, and was characterized
by modesty and want of ambition.
Chauncey M. Depew gave one of
his finest eulogies on the great German

MODERN UNBRLIEF DISCUSSED.
At the Ministers' Meeting Kesterda,
Morning In Center Church Chapel.

At the Minister'S Meeting Yesterday
Morning In Center Church Chapel.
There was liberal representation pres
emit yesterday morning in Center church
chapel, at the meeting of the New Haven
ministers association.
The topic discussed was "To what ex-
tent is the Protestant church responsible
for modern unbelief!" Nearly all the
clergy present participated in the discus
sion. The authority of the scriptures and
right of private judgment formed the
foundation for the argument. The most
interesting part of the discussion was that
in reference to the various forms of
skepticism in Protestant countries and in
Catholic countries. In England ,culminat-
ing in deism in the seventeenth century
and in Germany in panthsism. The prin-
cipal of reformers-the right of free in
quiry-was ever held subordinate to the
fundamentals of the Christian faith. The
great revival of learning in Europe was
contemporaneous with the reformation
This grow of classical or pagan learning in
Greece and Rome was really outside
both the Roman and Protestant church
Neither church was responsible for it.
Announcement was made that Rev.
Father Higgins of st. Mary's church
would speak ON a subject to be selected by
himself at some future meeting. Rev. Mr..
Saal of the German Lutheran church on
George street, will also at some future
meeting read paper on 1.-THE Era of the
Reformation" and Professor Brastow will
speak either on ''The Character of the
Great Preachers of Ancient and Modern
Times" or 1.-THE Character of the Great
Evangelists in the history of the Church.
These meetings are becoming better at
tended and are of greater interest each
week. ..
