Releuse us all from the gloomy superstitions concerning death which have held the minds of men in terror for so many ages, and may the light of Christ's life and_ resurrection shine into our hearts and on our paths; and may we com- prehend that death is only the passage to an- other life—a higher life and nobier—ior a good. and Virtuous mun, true to his principles, true to his duty, bis country and his God; and bring us all at last, whether our earthly life be brief or long, to rejoice in Thy presence, and in the higher activities of Thy upper kingdom.” ADJOURNMENT IN RESPECT TO THE MEMORY OF REPRESENTATIVE HAHN.

Then the collision came, the unknown schooner striking the huge steamer on the port side and crashing through her iron plates. The shock of the collision im- mediately awoke the sleeping passengers and that portion of the crew who were having theit watch below. ‘There was great contusion among the passen- gersfor atime.
