THE THREE LITTLE CHAIM. They sat alone by ti o bright wood fire, • The grey-hatred dame and the aged sire, Dreaming of days gone by; The toarvirop fell on each wrinkled cheek, They both had thoughts that they could not speak, Ae each heart uttered a sigh. For their sad and tearful eyes descried, Throe little chairs placed side by aide, Against the sittlug•room wall; Ohbfashloned enough, as there they stood, Their seats of bag, and their frames of wood, With their backs so straight and tell. Then the Aro shook his silvery head, And with triimbling voice he gently said— 'Wetber, these empty chairs, They bring us each sad, sad thoughts tanlght Well put them forever out of sight, In the small, dark room up stairs!' But she answered: '•Father, no, not yet. For I look at them, and I forget, That the children wont away. The boys come back, and our Mary, too, With her apron on of check:rod blue, And sit hero every day. Johnny still w hitt les n ship's tall masts, And Willie his leaden bullets casts, While Mary her patchwork sews; At evening time, three childish prayers, Go up to God from those Ditto chairs. So soltly that uo one knows. Johnny comes back from the billow deep, Willis wakes from the battledlald Bleep, To say a good•nlght tome: Mary 'e a alto and mother no more, But a tired child whose play.time is o'er, And comes to rest on my knee. So lot them stand them tho' empty now And evsry time, when alone, we bow, At tho Father's throne to pray, We'll ask to meet the children above, In onr Savior's home of rest and love, Whero no child gooth away." Terrible Fire in a Pennsylvania Coal .Mine.—Over Two Hundred Men hemmed in the Shaft by the Flames. PLY.MOUTLI, PA., September 6.—A fire broke out this morning in the flue and bottom at Steuben shaft, owned by the Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Company in this place, and in a short time the whole breaker and out buildings were in flames, and the hoisting apparatus, the only avenue of escape for the miners, destroyed.— All efforts to stay the flames were un available, and the whole structure fell, filling up the shaft. Over two hun dred men are in the shaft, and have no communication out, with no chance for air, as the only means of getting air-- into -the --shaft-Rae-through-the main opening, and that was filled with burning timbers and debris of the flames. It ie feared the whole number have been suffocated by smoke, or perished for want of air. The fire department of Swanton, Wilkesbarre and Kingston are play ing streams down the shaft for the purpose of quenching the fire there, so the rubbish can be cleared out and the condition of the men ascertained. It will probably take till to-morrow morning before tidings can be receiv ed from them. The scene is heart rending. Families aro congregated in great numbers, miners from all parts of the country are there at work and merchants, and in fact the whole population of tho town turned out to assist. 11. ROBLEY, .tercL•au• W.n.. SCRANTON, Sept. o.—The fire began at ten o'clock this morning. All ex perts agree that it must have commu nicated from the ventilating furnace to the wood work at the bottom of the shaft, which is 327 feet below the sur face. The flames rushed with great violence up the shaft, and broke out in the engine room at the top. The engineer barely escaped with his life. The buildings covering tho mouth of the shaft were 100 feet high and 200 feet long, all wood, as dry as tinder. They wore almost instantly envelop. ed in flames; and it was impossible to reach the mouth of the shaft, to help the men below. A fire engine from Kingston, and ono from Wilkesbarre were on the ground, but water was scarce and the location difficult, being higher up, on a very •stoop hillside. The work of quenching the fire and cleansing the shaft consumed some hours. Mean while thousands of people gathered from the surrounding country. The families of the men in the pit were present, and their cries were heart rending. At fifty minutes past five o'clock a dog and lamp were sent down in a bucket, to test the air, and when brought back the dog was alive and the lamp burning. .11 - mediate preparations were made to descend the shaft, and at 6:35 o'clock a man went down in a bucket, and in seven minutes returned and re ported no difficulty in breathing, but obstructions half-way down so that he could not, pass. At 6:50 two mon were sent down with tools. They re moved the obstructions and reached the bottom of the shaft and returned at 7:15. They reported that they had penetrated the gangway sixty or sev enty yards, finding three dead mules, and reaching a closed door, at which they battered so lustily that their blows were hoard above ground, but they got no response and discovered no signs of life. Clouds of sulphurous gases wore pouring out through the door, yet they could breathe without much dif ficulty. The clouds ,of sulphurous gases mentioned as pouring through the gangway door, to which the rest of the men down had penetrated, must have filled that part of the mine around the foot of the shaft if not all of it. Dispatches just received from Avon. dale say that Thomas W. Williams, of Plymouth, and David Jones, of Grand Tunnel, who went down to make fur ther investigations, were suffocated in their second attempt. Williams is dead and his' body; . was brousht out -PERSEVERE.- Fearful Disaster. by David H. Davis and Benjamin Jones. Thomas Williams went down and dragged David Jones some die tam) to the foot of the shaft, when he was compelled to come up. John W. and Isaac Thomas then went down and brought up the body. All who attempted to go down are now out alive except Williams and Jones. No further attempt will be made until a small engine is rigged. The loss by the burning of the Avon dale mine works to-day is from $BO,OOO to $lOO,OOO. This mine has been involved in a strike for over three months, but resumed work last Thursday, and was producing 450 tons of coal per day. All who have been down say it is very hot, and loud calls have failed to elicit any answer. The only hope for 202 men in the mine is that they have shut them selves in a remote part of the work ings, entirely away from the draft. Several hundred men were taken from here this evening with the idea of drilling a gangway from a neigh boring mine into the Avondale work ings; but as it must be solid rock cut ting, this means would probably not release the imprisoned men in time.— The distance to be cut is variously es timated at from twenty to sixty feet, and the time required two or three days. SCRANTON, September 7, 11 A. it.- The donkey engine and fan wore put in operation about an hour since, dri- ving in fresh air to the shaft. Messrs. Carson and Davis then went down one hundred feet, and then lowered lights to within 15 feet of the bottom of the shaft. The lamps burned freely. Af ter making such observations as were possible, they returned, and those who had formed a committee to go down are now preparing to descend to re move obstructions and explore in search of their brethren. Thousands of minors, women and children cover the hills and grounds in the vicinity. A committee is circulating among the immense throng for subscriptions for the widows and orphans, who number over six hundred. SCRANTON, September 7, Noon.— The very latest accounts from the scene of the dreadful 'calamity at Avondale Mine are to the effect that nothing has yet been done which war. rants a hope for the safety of the men below. A steam fan has been put in operation, driving pure air into the shaft, but the quantity of foul air that still remains renders it impossible for a descent to be made. A tunnel is being excavated _ with all possible speed, by which it is hoped to intersect the chamber where all thO mon aro entombed. They will prob ably reach this chamber about five or six o'clock this afternoon. The scene about the place of the disaster is harrowing in the extreme. Thousands of people aro present, and others aro arriving. The agonizing woe of the families of the unfortunate miners is heart-rending. Attempts to descend the shaft will be made this afternoon and before night it is thought the extent of the calamity will be known. COOLNESS.—Sam Slick tells a story of an overgrown bulk of a Yankee boy who was sent to the wood-pile by his fitther one cold winter evening, for a "back-log" for the kitchen fire. The youth went out, but instead of bring ing in a good substantial log, only brought a thin little stick—or "Until,' as the Pennsylvania Germans say.— His father immediately gave him a good whipping, and sent him after's'''- other log. But the youth having his "dander" up left the house, went to Boston and shipped on a vessel which made a voyage of several years. In the course of time the youth came back and started home on foot. It was winter and just such an evening as the one on which ho loft home. So, remembering his father's order ho picked up a huge log, and staggering into the house, threw it down on the hearth before his astonished father and mother, and quietly•said: "Father, hero's that back-log you sent me for." "Noll ! you've been a darned long time about it !" We were reminded of this story by the following, which we find floating about uncredited : "A curtain distinguished citizen of Milwaukie, Wisconsin, who has filled the highest office in the State, was once in the employ of a farmer in western New York. Among other things it was his duty to "bring in the cows." One evening the caws and boy •'came up missing." Some years after, the farmer was passing. down East Water street, Milwaukie, and saw the name of his cow boy over the door of one of the largest hardware houses in the West. Ile stared a moment on the truant, and then broke out with, "Hallo, Len, have you found them cows yet ?" One can imagine what followed—a mutual recognition. It is said the old farmer was pacified with out a breach of the peace. The Urbana (Ohio) Citizen of last week has the following: "The stump of the Harrison flag staff erected in 1840 was resurrected last week by the workmen engaged on the founda tion of the soldiers' monument. Two Irishmen were standing by when it was discovered, and ono, a Democrat, supposing that Harrison had run on the Republican ticket twenty-nine years ago, said: "Look, Jimmy, the thing is rotten, just like the party.'— The other, a sound, well•informed Re publiean, replied : 'But don't you see, Teddy, the heart is sound.' And So it was—the heart of the timber was in a remarkable state of preservation." WHEN is a boat like a heat' of snow ? When it is a drift. TERMS, $2,00 a year in advance. Lost and Found. FLOATING DOWN THE RIVER, THE OHIO •During the great flood of 1847, when the Ohio river so far overleaped the bounds of propriety as to come up to Pearl street without any invitation, a great many dwellings located on the river banks were swept away and came floating down upon the pitiless tide. . Loss of life not unfrequently at. tended those disasters, as when a fam ily, unconscious of their danger, were asleep in their beds when the water rose about their house, and lifting it from its foundations bore it away amid the darkness and the turbulent flood. On the left bank of the Ohio at that time, between Marietta and Pomeroy, stood an humble dwelling occupied by a small farmer and his wife, together with five children, the youngest an in fant girl a little over a year old. The river rose during the night while the family were in bed. The rocking of the house as the surging waters climb ed it, awoke the inmates, and through great and hasty exertion the farmer was enabled to get all his family, as be supposed, to a place of safety, the' be lost everything else. Standing on a little eminence near by he saw, through the gloom of that dreadful night, his house with all its contents yield itself to the grasping avaricious flood and float down . the river, where it was soon lost in darkness. He sup posed that all were Saved, but alas, it was soon discovered that their infant girl was missing. In the confusion and excitement of the moment the baby was left sleeping ou its bed, and had been swept away to destruction with the house. Great was the grief of the parents at the loss of their youngest born, and altho' duo efforts were made to learn wheth er or not, she had been rescued, noth ing was heard of her, and it was very naturally supposed that she wasdrown ed in the river. Such, however, was not her fate. A hundred miles below where his dwell ing was swept away, some people on the river bank the next morning saw something peculiar floating down on the current. They thought it was the form of an infant. A boat was pro cured and the object was indeed found to be au infant girl slopping calmly and profoundly upon a bed. She was taken in charge by a fami ly in the vicinity, who 'took such means as they knew •to .aecertam. to. whom the child belonged, but there was no clue to guide them, and soon tho.iittlo waif -that had floated down to them came to be considered as their own child. They adopted her more readily, perhaps, on account of being themselves childless, and because ; of their sympathies being so greatly ex cited by the peculiar circumstances of the case—an infant floating all that night of terrible storm, amid wrecks and bridges and dwellings, protected from danger• by an unseen power, that seemed to direct her to their love and care. It may seem strange to the reader that the parents wero not found for the child, or the whereabouts of the child made known to them, but it must be remembered that newspapers were not so numerous or accessible twenty years or so ago, as now, and that people didn't advertise the lost as they do now. Besides, all the par ties were in humble life, and their cir cle of acquaintance, as well us their means, wero very limited. Meanwhile the waif grew into a beautiful girl, and became as dear to her adopted parents as though she was their own. She had mourned for "mamma" a little time, but, ero long, all recollection Of her early surround ings were but dim and shadowy, and her new' parents and her new home became all-in-all to her. A few, years and the family moved into Illinois, settling on a farm near Chicago. The man prospered there, and was enabled to give his beautiful Ohio river found ling an education fitting her graces of person, her amiability and her virtues. A short time ago her hand was sought in marriage by a worthy young far mer in the vicinity of where she lived. consent obtained, and the happy day appointed, One day the family were in Chicago purchasing her wedding outfit. At a dry goods store a okrk who was waiting on theta observed our heroine intently, and seemed sin gularly affected—so much so as to at tract attention. "Excuse mc," he said, in some eon fusion, addressing the young lady, "don't be offended at my staring so anxiously at you, but the truth .is, yoti are a perfect picture of a sister of mine at home, and I couldn't help thinking you looked just as another sister of mine Would have looked, who was swept down the Ohio in a great freshet and lost." The words attracted tho attention ' of the young lady's adopted parents. The resemblance spoken of, and the incident of the freshet taken in con junction, could hardly have failed to do that. Explanations followed, and it was pretty satisfactorily concluded that the clerk and tho young lady were brother and sister, as indeed was afterward proved to be the case. Her parents, too, had emigrated 'to Illinois, and lived not far froiii her own home. The families were brought together, and what was before believ ed to be true was established beyond question, when the bed upon which the child was found was produced, and the garments she wore; for what frugal' housewife wouldn't recognize one of her own beds, and what mother would- not remember the garmente worn by her favorite baby?

We don't consider it necessary to give the names of the parties, but the story is a true one, and we bad the facts from one who is thoroughly conversant with them. Cincinnati Ileir"Occasional" writes from Wash ington to the Philadelphia Press ) that the weakness of the Derhocratio. party consists in the fact that most of its in telligent members are more than. half inclined to be Republicans. General Rosecrans gave utterance to thoughts at work in a million of other minds.— He says, after declaring for universal suffrage and against repudiition, that he believes his views "are explicitty or inexplicitly held by three-fourths of our voting population." What sort of cohesion can there be in an organization so embarrassed I The leaders assert doetrines-WhiCh the masses doubt or deny. The South has one platform—the North another.— One side courts the colored vote-- - -the other condemns it. Pendleton declares for an unlimited currency—Hoffman ignores it; Andrew Johnson declares for repudiation—Chase against it.— - And if these differences distress the leaders, what must be the condition of the rank and file? What intelligent Democrat will not turn_ with disgust from warring counsels and conflicting • creeds? An organization to win . must • be a unit in its actions and in its ideas. The one cannot exist without the oth er. The Republicans have one purpose and one platform. They are the same in Arkansas and in Kansas, the same' in Maine and in Maryland, the same in Connecticut and in California. Gen. Rosecrans is right.

But parents may be- assured that this early work is not, by' any means, all gain even in the way - of work. I suspect it is a loss; and that children who tegin their education late, as it would be called, will rapid ly overtake those who have been in harness long before them. And what advantage can it be that a child knovis more at six years old than its cOtepiers especially if this is to be gained at a sacrifice of health, which may' never be regained ?- There may be some excuse for this early bookwork:in:the , case of those children who are to live by manual labor. It is warth perhaps to run the risk of setae 'phYS.: ical . injury to them, having only: thine early years in which we can Amok them book-knowledge.

EXTRAORDINAR2 SELF-IMMOLATION. —The following statement appears iTh the Pall Mall Gazette : - • All the extraordinary - preceecliOgi, of the many fanatical Beets' wholla rapid increase has excited so much anxiety in Russia are fairly thrown into-the shad© by a terrible.aot!efitelf immolation which is reported from the 'government of Barstow.'

"Thirty years ago," says Wilkes' Spirit, "the orators ruled "America:: to-day it is ruled by editors."
