"Gulde ME, oh, Thou great Jehoyah,
sang the powerful chorus OF boys as
mother played the sweet old tune upon
the organ.
1t was an impressive and pathetic
group, for soldiers filled The lower part
Of the park, and the sound of military
music came every now and then to
break the harmony of the hymn.
Nothing could have daunted those
fresh voices, just as nothing could have
daunted their brave little hearts. They
sang as they were gong to fight by and
by, with courage and persistence.
Wilton, the eldest, would have a
grand bass some time, aud even now
the lower notes were splendid, when
they "got there" Rupert, the second,
sang with high, clear tenor, such Us
used to make the masses splendid in the
old cathedrals at Rome.
The little boys supplied a ripping
treble, and the mothers tender alto
made the chorus complete.
She did not look like a Spartan
mother, but she was trying, and not
vainly, to act the part.
Her two eldest were goiug to join in
that terrible struggle, which bore so
maay boys away, to act the part ofmen,
while still in the morning Of life. The
father was absent with sabre at his
side and epaulettes on His shoulders.
All that LOVING and pious rearing
could do had been done for them her
active work must be over for time
she could only watch and pray.
Wilton looked grown and stately in
his uniform, for he was the kind of TEL
low to carry off Il prescribed dress Of
any sort with dignity.
Once committed to anything, he re
garded himself as the exponent of the
whole, and tried to reflect credit upof
it.
Rupert looked so young and slim anc
handsome that she could hardly see him
through her tears, but he made grea
effort to keep his own eyes dry.
They We're wonderful eyes, of the
blue one sees in the sky when the sun il
very warm and there are no clouds
about.
The clarion sounded the signal o
war. The soldiers were waiting for hel
darlings at the second gate.
ooh for last inspiratlon,' was hel
agonizins thought. Some, one final
message OF love, that should remain
with. them through all that terrible
campaign.
Like fash of answer it came to her
She stood for moment almost trans
figured in the girllsh beauty, which
maternity had been powerless to change
Promise me, my sons, she crlcd.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.

In speaking of q PERSONS faults
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those with homes Of glass
Should seldom throw stone.
If I'VE have nothing else to do
But talk of those that sin
'Tis better we commence at home
Aud from that point begin.
We have no right to Judge man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company
We know the world is wide.
Some may hayc faults-and who have not
The old as well as young
Perhaps we may, for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of a better plan,
And find it works full we'll
To try my own defects to cure
Fore of others tell.
And though sometimes hope to be
No more than some know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of Others go.
Then let us all, when We commence
To slandcr friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word would do
To those we little know.
Remember curses sometimes, like
Our chickens, ''ruost at home
Don't speak Of others faults until
You have none Of your own.

Wise and Weighty.

Getting into passion is good deal
like getting into brler bush. The
bush comes out all right but you don't.
They who tell their own business are
not wise; those who tell other peoples
intrusted to them are criminals.
Happiness hes concealed in our du-
tles which, when fulfilled, give it forth
as the opening rose gives forth fra
GRANGE.
The great men Of this world ought
not to sneer at the little men for they
themselves would not seem great in
comparison.

THE IRISH FAMINE.
Withdrawal of the Appeal for Funds in
Aid of the Cause,

New YORK, November 9th.-The Amer
lean committee for the relief of the famine
in Ireland has issued public statement
announcing thst it temporarily withdraws
its appeal to the American people. The
statement says that while at the time the
appeal was issued there was no reason to
believe the distress would be relieved other
wise than by American generosity. the
British Government has been since
spurred to investigate the matter, and to
undertake system of public works in the
distressed districts, which, by affording
partial relief, will at least postpone the
famine.
The committee has good reason to be-
lieve that this sudden activity on the part
of the British Government is largely due to
the prompt sympathy and support sponta-
neously offered from this country, and &C.
cordingly congratulates the American peo-
pie OF having secured fer the sufferers in
Ireland substantial hope of relief without
the expenditure of a dollar.
1t has also been represented by the visit
ing Irish delegates that it would produce
an interfering element in Irish politics if
aid in any shape should be sent to Ireland
by any charitable agency before the present
resources of the imperilled peasants were
exhausted.
The situation of the political parties in
Ireland is peculiar, and the committee is
strenuously anxious to avoid creating new
complications by interference of any sort.
These representations of accredited ENJOYS
of the Irish people are therefore entitled to
consideration so long as there is no imme-
diate danger of actual suffering by the
famine.
When that point is reached, if it does,
the committee will, with full approval of
the Irish leaders, renew its appeal. The
crisis will come about the close of the year,
and it will then be apparent whether the
pledges of the British Government are to
be kept, and whether the relief measures
provided under its auspices will be ade-

CHICAGO, November 9th-Armfuls of
flowers, sympathetic speeches and parade
of 3 900 people marked the celebration to-

comparison with the old-time frenzied
utterances, were mild almost to tameness.
The weather was cold and cheerless. The
procession marched through several down
Town streets with banners furled and

When the special train reached the
cemetery the procession was again formed
and marched past the graves, each society
as it went depositiDg lis floral offerings,
until the graves were piled high with II
mass of red and white flowers i'll various

The crowd then assembled in front of a
small platform and listened to speeches.

murder of their comrades By the machinery

STRANGE STORY.
Causes Which Led to a Young Mans
Suicide.


CHICAGO, November 9th. A strange
story was told Yesterday at the inquest or
the body of Edward G. Hunt, a young
pharmacist who last night blew his brains
out in saloon. The story is that he wa:
to have been married to-day to a Mis-:
Monte Della McCroskey said to be the
daughter of cattle king in the new State
of Washington.
According to the story told by one oil
Hunts intimate friends, he left his home
in Garnett Kansas, year ago for trip in
the West for health. On the road he met
Miss McCroskey, and their friendship soon
resulted in an engagement. Although nc
ceremony was performed they lived to.
gether in Tacoma as man and wife. Hunt
soon departed for the East, and Miss Nc.
Croskev discovered after while that she
was about to become mother. Wishing
to avert scandal she came to visit friends
in Iowa and remained there until the child
was born. 1t did not live long. The young
woman then determined to hunt her recre-
ant lover up. Coming to Chicago she met
him and demanded that he marry her
He agreed, the wedding being fixed for to-
day.
Nothing more was heard of Hunt from
last Monday until last night, when be

Bat Four Days Intervene Before the
Hanging of Burchsn.
WooDsToCK (Ont), November 9th.-Bur-
chen saw to-day the first indication of
preparations for his execution. This was
the arrival of the material for the scaffold
from which he will be launched into e,er-
nifty on Friday next, but he made no sign
that he realized their purport.
He was perhaps a trlfle more thoughtful
Gay, but il may have besn that thoughts
OF the young wife he has soon te leave q
widow sobered him from his usual careless
demeanor. The scaffold will be erected in
the western end of the Jail.
An enterprising Toronto manufacturer
has made the doomed man a present of q
fine black shroud for the occasion, which
Burchell seemed much pleased with. The
iron weight which will be attached TO the
other eLd of the rope to be used for the
hanging also arrived to-day. 1t weighs $50
pounds.
Burchell has received a card from the
Colonel" dated, as before, from Jackson,
Mich. He still protests that he did the
shooting, and not Burchell. The card was
submitted to an expert aud compared with
Burchells writing, and he pronounced il
to have been written by the prisoner. He
had no doubt about il and no hesitation in
saying so. 1t was an unexpected break In
what appeared to be at first very neat lit
tie chain.
The question now is, will Burohell break
down? Judging from evidences shown So
far, he will not and when the last moment
comes his wonderful nerve will not desert
him and he will be the coolest man pres
ent. All last night he was occupied in
preparing for the final scene and giving di-
rections as to the disposal of his worldly
effects. Mrs. Burchell is sill pgostrated by
the destruction of the last hope of saving
her husbands life. She remained in her
room at the hotel all day and gave way to
frequent bursts OF grief She will have one
more interview with Burchell before the
fatal day, and the terrible scene which is
sure to ensue is something too sacred for
any correspondent 10 attempt to write of.
Burchell expected to come into consid-
cradle fortune next spring, and is making
his will SO that his wife will get the money.
Tonight he is in fair spirits but his wite's
enguish appears to upset him. He cares
very little for himself, but exhibits wonder
ful attachment to the little woman who
has stuck to him so faithfully. The feeling
against him is very bitter. The pulpit and
the press are nearly unanimous for his ex-
pcntiOu

BoNNv's VERSION.
Horrible Scenes Depicted at the Camp of
Barttelot.


Barttelot.
LONDON, November 9th.-The Times this
morning publishes a three-column signed
GREETING that Barttelot's brother forced the
disclosure of the painful story. Bonny says
Stanley only heard of the poisoning sus-
picions from him on the och of October.
Bonny says that Barttelot and jameson,
after questioning the Arabs belonging to
Stanley's previous expedition as to the fate
of Pocock and others, expressed the opin-
ion that Stanley would poison anybody.
He admitted that rumors to that effect
were current in Europe, but nothing was
ever proven against Stanley.
Bonny confirms the report that Barttelot
asked him for tasteless poison with which
to remove Tippo's nephew Selim, with
whom he had had a quarrel. Bonny hid
all the poisons. Barttelot did not make
further attempts to poison Selim.
Bonny confirms the statement that Bart
telot deliberately bit woman. For this
Barttelot would have been lynched if Barry
had not rescued him. Bonny has not the
slightest doubt that the boy Soudi died
from the effects Of kick given him by
Barttelot He confirms the statement that
the Mission boy, John Henry, who acted
as interpreter, died from the effects of 300
lashes. He did not desert as stated, but
was left on the road. The boy was afraid
to come back, because he had sold Barte-
lots revolver to procure food.
The Major recaptured the boy, and had
him publicly sentenced to be shot, not in
tending to carry out the sentence. The
whole camp threatened to desert if the sem
tence was carried out. Barttelot then ex-
claimed: by God, will give him 800
lashes."
Bonny tells of the unprovoked stabbing
of Chief UDgunga by Barttelot with pen
knife. He declares that the best of feeling
prevailed in the village Till the Major ar
rived, when he Immediately caused trouble
by extravagant demands and threats.
Bonny confirms several other reports,
and tells about the killing of Zanzibar by
Barttelot, who, after beating the man
trightfully with staff, smashed his skull
with it. Barttelot, he says, projected an
expedition OF his own to reach Casita and
not to go to Unyaro.
Bonny confirms Stanleys account of the
murder of Barttelot, except that Barttelot
had not cypress staff but revolver, in
his hand, and punched and kicked the
woman. Bonny justifies the sentence of
death OF the Soudanese soldier, Burgan Mo-
hommed. but says that Stanley is correct
in stating that Barttelot projected an ex
pediiion of his own, by which it was
planned to reach Casati and not to go to
Unyoro. Bonny threatened that he would
enlist the assistance of the Arabs to frus-
trate this plan, and therefore it was
dropped. He never thought Stanley was
dead.
With regard to Stanley's charge against
him of lack of initiative, Bonny says he
is glad that Barttelot's blood is not on his
head, as it would have been, had he vio-
lently resisted and tried to stop Barttelot's
doing. Had he done so the whole camp
,the moment of the raising of Bonny's
hand Barttelot would have been torn to
pieces.
