A Prayer.
if I should die to-night, My friends woald look upon my qmiet face Before thev laid me in its resting place, And deem that death had left it almost fair ; And laying snow white flowers against my hair, Would smooth it down with tearful tender- ness, And fold my hand with lingering caress— Poor fiands! so empty Sind so cold to night!
If I should die to-night, My friends would cal) to mind with loving thought Some kindly deed the icy hand had wrought ; Some gentle word the frozen lips had said ; Errands on which the willing feet bad sped. The memory of my selfishness and pride, My hasty words would all be laid aside ; And so I should be loved and mourned to-night !
If I should die to-night, in hearts estranged would turn once more to me, Recalling other days remorsefully ; The eyes that chill me with averted glance Would look upon me as of yore, perchance, And soften, in the old familiar way—- For one who would war with dull unconscious clay ! So I might rest, forgiven by all to-night.
O friends! I pray, to-night Keep not your kisses$ from my dead, cold brow ; The way is lonely—let me feel them now ! Think gently of me, I am travel-worn ; My faltering feet are pierced by many a thorn. Forgive, O hearts estranged—torgive, I plead ! When dreamless rest is mine, I shall not need The tenderness for which I long to-night.

THe N. P.—Moere than twice as much coal has been shipped from Pictou from the opening of navigation to the end of July this year than last. The quantity shipped at July 3lst, 1878, was slightly over 50,000 tons. The Standard says: This pleasing result must be altogether attributed to the National Policy. But for the protection on coal, judges agree in saying that our mines must have shut down this season
Dr. Evans, the American dentist, who identified the remains of the Prince {m- perial by the ‘‘ filling,” is probably the only man who ever snatched an advertise- ment fromthe jaws of death. He is the same Dr. Evans of whom Mr. Evarts at one of the banquets after the Geneva Award gracefully observed that ‘‘ the princes and sovereigus of the earth, so reticent with most people, had freély opened their mouths to him.”
At a meeting at Paris the other night, M. Victor Hugo delivered some remarks upon the distinctive features of each of the last four centvries and of the coming one. ‘The 16th,” said he, ‘‘was the age of paint- ers, the 17th of great w ‘ters, the 18th of philosophers, and the prcsentis the century of apostles and prophets. Next century war will cease to prevail; the scaffold will disappear; hatred, roya'ty, frontiers, dog- nas, al. w''! be dead and gone. Man will still survive, and there sha!l be seen, above and superior to all else, one great country —the Karth, and one great hope— Heaven.”
The German (Gazette gives some curious intimate details of the efforts made by Ismail Pacha to save his throne. Two days before his deposition, while the English Consul was pressing him to abdicate, he offered him heaps of gold, and engaged to assume the entire debt and discharge it from his own resources if he were allowed toremain. ‘Then seeing that his appeals were in vain, he sent to his harem for fifteen of his mest beautiful slaves, and when they arrived, decked with diamonds, he said, “‘These are my favorites; the jewels they wear are worth $2,000,000; they are all yours if you will only leave me a little longer in peace.”
The@watch which the Prince Imperial wore When he was killed, and which is now in the hands of the Zulus, was worn by the first Napoleon through most of his cam- paigns, and afterwards to the end of his life. It kept very indifferent time, but the great Emperor would never wear any other than this, which he purchased at Marseilles when he was but a poor lieutenant of ar- tillery. Napoleon III. wore this watch from the day he was named Prince-Presi- dent until the day of his death at Chisel- hurst, and it is picturesquely related that in 1870, just as he was about to put himself at the head of his troops the watch suddenly stopped. He was superstitious, and this incident served to depress him for days. After his death his widow gave the watch to her son.

SAD DROWNING ACCIDENT AT TID-
NISH. say Verte, Aug. 29.
Mr. P. M. McDonald, of St. John, was drowned to-day, at 12 o’clock, noon, at Tidnish, opposite Mr. Burton Chappell’s Abodeau. Mr. McDonald had been in the neighborhoed two weeks ago, buying lambs for the St. John market. He came from St. John yesterday for the purpose of securing hislambs. He was in company with a Mr. Baxter, from Amherst Head. The storm of last night and to-day has caused the water to overflow the dykes, washing away a portion of the Abodeau. At this point they drove their horses and carriave into about eight feet of water. Mr. McDonald was instantly taken from the carriage by the heavy current that was flowing up the brook at the time, and is still in’ the water. Daxter managed to cling to the carriage and was rescued through the assistance of Mr. Chappell’s two sons. Search is now being made for the bedy of McDonald. It is sup- posed that there is a large amount of money on his person. The unfortunate young man is about 20 or 21 years of age, and lived with his parents in St. John. Baxter and the horse had a very narrow escape from a watery grave. He was very much ex- hausted when rescued.

DESTRUCTIVE. FIRE IN THE UNITED STATES.
Moreneap Crry, Nes. ,Aug. 18,
The most terrible storm ever known here did great damage yesterday. The loss here and at Beaufort is nearly $100,000. The waves broke against the Atlantic House and completely demolished the guests, except one, escaping at the last moment. Not a wharf is left in Beaufort. Morehead city has lest its market house, school house, wharf and colored Methodist Church; also several fish houses and 400 terrapins.
Norroik, Va., Aug. 19.
This vicinity has been visited by the severest rain storm and tornado ever ex- perienced. Many buildings were unroofed and flooded, trees were uprooted and ship- ping damaged, many vessels dragging ashore. Many warehouses were flooded. The tide was higher than ever before known. The handsome spire of the Free- man street Baptist Church was blown down. The slating of Christ Episcopal Church was torn off and the cornice and steeple of St. Mary’s Catholic Church suffered severely. The beautiful grounds of old St. Paul’s were badly wrecked. Great anxiety pre- vailed during its prevalence, and Mayor Tucker ordered out the entire police force and fire department. Loss estimated at from $200,000 to $300,000.

THe Storm anp its Errecrs.—The storm which prevailed yesterday seems to have extended over a wide area and to have done a large amount of daiaage to the crops. Itis not pleasant to learn, as we do from Sussex, that the grain crop is totally destroyed, but should this prove to be the case itis no more than might be expected under the circumstances. The gale of yes- terday was preceded and accompanied by one of the most remarkable rain storins that has ever visited this Province. Since Saturday no less than five inches of rain have fallen in St. John, an amount which, had it remained on the soil, would have reduced our people to the necessity of wading ankle-deep. Sucha rainfall of itself could not fail to do much injury to the grain, which is just now at the most critical stage of its growth, but when it was accompanied by a gale of great violence the inevitable result was that the standing crops were levelled, the grain lodged and in a fair way of being ruined. We hope that the worst fears to the results of this unfortunate storm may not be realized, and that matters may prove better than is expected; but it is impessible to disguise the fact that the gale and rain combined have exposed the crops of the country to a most serious danger, and that further developments must be awaited with anxiety. The crops of Great Britain this year have been very much injured by the immense rainfall of the summer; it would be very unfortunate if the crops of any con- siderable section of Canada should be des- troyed or seriously damaged from the same cause.—St. John Telegraph.
