Hear the summer breezes sighing
In the southern land of flowers—
Florida, of golden beauty,
Land of bright and sunny hours t
Hear the surging waves of ocean
Swell their song with mighty tone!
They are chanting rerluierd dirges
For our dear departed.one.
Sainted prelate! didst thou• journey.
To these distant shores 0 die‘?
Strangers gaze in silent pity,
Only one loved child is nigh.
Priests devoted e'er were round thee,
Waiting for thy word so dear;
Now, when Death's cold seal is on thee,
Only one weeps o'er thy bier.,
CrOsier, mitre, laid beside thee—
Could they speak, ah l they would tell,
Faithful shepherd, all thou'st suffered
For the sheep thou loved so well!
And the lambs—thy dearest treasures—
Children of thy tender care,
Haul:cone daimed-thygentle-kiudiress
Each in thy fond heart had share. •
Hear the wail of sorrowing thousands;
See their bitter tear -drops fall; ,
They are mourning for their father,
For he loved them one and all.
Ye mayweep that hand is lifeless
Which so oft was raised to bless,
And the voice is hushed forever .•
Which hath thrilled with tenderness.
But beyond the starry heav.' ens,'
From that bright elysiap shore
He will look with love upon us,
And will bless us as of , yore;
'Mid the heavenly songs triumphant
One dear voice of praise and prayer
E'er will plead for us his children
Till th' eternal bliss we share.

An Australian Cure for Diphtheria. 74
A correspondent of the Cleveland Leader
offers the following to the medical profes-
sion : As diphtheria, that dread disease, is
very prevalent as well as fatal, it may do
some good, and perhaps save a life or two
by publishing the fact that h few years
ago, in view of the fatal scourges of diph-
theria in Australia, the Government offered
a reward' of a25,000 for any certain method
of cure. Among, other responses was that
.of Dr. Greatheaci, which, i itt asserted,
when the ease has not advanced to a nearly
fatal termination, °area the patient in
,almost every instance.- It -is simply four
drops of sulphuric acid inahree-quarters of
a tumbler of water, for an adult, taken at
intervals not stated. Less for a child.
'The result is said to be coagulation of

There must be something inspiring in the con-
dition add surroundings of a convicted murderer,
for it very often happens that the feW -days or

its execution are spent in the eonipOsition of
verses. No one who read them will _forget the

appended:

The'rrophecy of an Oracle Verbied—The
Mast 'Sad Bites.
It surely is an unusual thing for it woman
to behold for the fifth time the sad mourn-
ers carrying out theroorpse of her husband.
A woman in Yorkville on Sunday wit-
neEtsed this sad, though to lae,r , somewhat
familiar, speotacle. Mr. Joseph French;
proprietor of French'S hotel, in Yorkville,,
was buried yesterday, leaving his ;allot now
entering on her fifth widowhood. It is said
that before her first marriage Mrs. French
was informed by a fortune teller that she
would have seven names in addition to her
midden name. Six, names she has had
already, and the truth of the oracle has so
far . been borne out. Mr. French Was a
member of the "Sone of England and a
Forester. . •
Sensations ot a Coal. Mine Descent.
The deepest coal mine in A.merios, is the
Pottsville, in Pennsylvania. The shaft itf
1,576 feet deep. From its bottom, almost
a third of it mile down, 200 cars, holding
four tentaeaeliaare_lifted tetery_clay They_
are run upon a pletfOr'ea and the whole
weight of six tons is hoiaacl at a speedthat
makes the head swim, the tilde occupied
in lifting a full ear being only a little More
than a minute. The hoisting and lowering
9f men into coal mines is regulated by law,
in that State, and only ten can stand on a
platform at once under penalty of a heavy
fine. However, carelessness cannot be pre-
vented, and unacouetomed visitoreare
appalled by it. "A person of weak nerves,"
says a correspondent, "should not brave the
ordeal by descending the Pottsville shaft.
The machinery 'works as smoothly as it

that one seems falling through the air.
The knees alter a few secontle become'

seem to dash upward only a foot or two

is only a fraction of that time, the platform
begins to sieve up, 'halts at a gate, and
through it you htep into a "crowd ' of
creatures with the shapes of men, but with
