Old Times.


There are no days, like the good old
The days when we were youthful!
When humankind were pure Of mind
And speech and deeds were truthful;
Before a love for sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion,
And each dame and maid became
Slaves to the tyrant Fashion!
There are no girls like the good old
Against the world I'd stake 'em!
AS buXom and smart and clean of heart
They were rich in spirit and common
A piety all-suportin';
They could bakeFdnd brew, and had
taught school, too,
And they made the likeliest courtin!
There are no boys like the good old
When we were boys together!
When the grass was sweet to the brown
bare feet,
That dimpled the laughing heather;
When the pewee sung to the summer
dawn
OF the bee in the willowy clover,
jOr down Thy the mill the whip-poor-
Will
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old love
The love that mother gave us!
We are old, old men, yet we pine again
For that precious grace-God gave US!
So we dream and dream Of the good
old times,
And our hearts grow tenderer, fonder,
AS those dear old dreams bring sooth-
ing CLEANS
Of heaven away off yonder.

 Chinese army is within forty miles of New Chwang and the foreigners are preparing to abandon their homes. The southern part of the province is swept by raiders, destroying all works of the white men, except in spots garrisoned by Russians. Proelamations have been posted in all the villages near Chee Foo calling upon the loyal Chinese to rise and expel the foreigners for introducing among the nious Chinese an immoral religion. Every good Buddhist is ex- pected to knee three hours daily, knock his head upon the floor thrice and pray earnestly that sudden. cruel death may overtake all aliens.
 The foreign settlement at Chee Foo is at the mercy of two Chinese forts equipped with Krupp guns, which command two sides of the city. Six warships, including the United States gunboat Nashville are constantly clear ed for action
 The provisional government at Pekin appears to have designs upon the south- ern provinces. Besides having order- GU N NiI ollihl to duNtuCe upon IN1n- kin, which Kwan Shlsi says he will not do, Prince Tuan has sent an army along the route of the grand canal.
 Nankin is on the south bank of a river nearly q mile wide. The British cruisers Hermione and Pique will assist in repelling attempts to cross Six Chi nese cruisers there and 17,0OO Chinese troops are at the disposal of Viceroy Liu Huhuyi The forts mount 34 high power modern guns. The foreigners in Shanghai are becoming uneasy. Every- thing depends, they feel. on Viceroy Liu Kulnyi
 Refugees from Tien Tsin arriving at Shanghai say that only five civilian foreieners were killed during the 1or~ Chinese bombardment. The foreign women became so indifferent that they walked through the streets unheeding the shells. Most of the civilians were deported to Taku, then to be conveyed to Shanghai

Apostolic Vicarate of Pekin and North
 China:
 "Pekin. May 19 1900.
 MT. Minister: From day to day the situation becomes more serious and threatening. In the prefecture of Pact ing-Fu more than seventy Christians have been massacred; near Echao- Lcheo, only three days ago three Neo- phytes have been cut in pieces. Many villages have been pllaged and burned and a great many others have been completely abandoned.
 More than 2,000 Christians are flee ing, without bread, with out clothing, shelter. At Pekin alone about 400 refu- gees, men, women and children, are al- ready lodged at our holse and that of the sisters; before eight days we will probably have many thousands
 We will have to dismiss the schools and the colleges; also use all the hos pitals to make room for these unfortu- nate people.
 Upon the rest of us, pilNge and in- cendiarism are imminent; we are hour ly receiving the most alarming news. Pekin is surrounded on all sides; the Boxers are daily coming nearer the capital, delayed only by the destruction which they are making of Christians
 Believe me, I pray you, MT. Min ister, that am well informed and say nothing lightly
 Religious persecution is only one ob- ject. The real purpose is the extermin- ation of Europeans, a purpose which Is clearly set forth and written upon the banners of the Boxers Their associ- ates await them in Pekin, where they will begin by attacking the churches and finish with the legations.
 Tor us here at the Paotang Lu the day is practically ended. All the city knows it; everybody is speaking of it, and a popular outbreak is manifest.
 Yesterday evening forty-three poor women and their children, flying from the massacre, arrived at the house of the sisters More than five hundred persons accompanied them, saying to them that if they had escaped this once they would soon die with the others.
 MT. Minister. I do not speak to you about placards without number posted about the city against foreigners.
 Each day new ones appear, more ex-
 
 ty years ago were present at the Tien Tsin massacre are struck with the re- semblance of the situation then to that of to-day; the same placards, the same threats, the same warnings and the same blindness. Tben also as to-day the missionaries wrote and supplicated, foreseeing an horrible awakening.
 Under these circumstances, MT. Min ister. believe it my duty to ask you to kindly send us at least forty or fifty marines to protect our persons and our property. This has been done under circumstances much less critical and I hope you will take into consideration our humble prayer.
 Please accept MT. Minister the as- erlrances of the respect and the nro- found gratitude with which I have the honor to be-
