Hun across to your fence." p "God give you his blessing." was all he eould say, For he lost not a moment, but hastened away | To check the impending combustion ; I And he called mo his brother and friend, And his gratitude seemed without end, ' For saving his farm from destruction.

Lose standing, and squander your wealth, I Unless you commence reformation." ! I How lie stared at me then; said he "guessed I I needed business." that he "knew best : What to drink, without my opinion." ] Then he flew in a rage about "meddlesome friends." And preaching up temperance for mere selfish ends, And cursed the whole reformation. •; 'Tis a curious fact, to myself said I sadly, • Advice to save money is taken quite gladly ; ' j But let a bad habit he mentioned. !

Children's ulcpartment. The Silly Young Rabbit. TRANSLATED ERUM TUX GERMAN. There was a young rabbit Who had a bad habit— ! Sometimes he would do what his mother forbid. And one frosty day, His mother did say, |' My child, you must stay in the burrow elose hid, For I hear the dread sounds Of huntsmen and hounds, j Who are searching around for rabbits like you. Should they see but your bead. They would soon shoot you dead, : And the dogs would be off with you quicker than boo!'' But poor, foolish being. When no one was seeing, • He stole front his burrow to take a short play; lie hopped o'er the ground With many a bound, I Looking proudly around, as if he would say, " Do 1 fear a man ? Now catch me who can!" ! And away rabt.it ran to a fine apple tree, Where gnawing the bark, He thought not to mark j The coming of hunters, so fearless was he. Now, as rabiiits are good, When roasted or stewed, A man came along, hunting rabbits for dinner. He saw lift e Bun— He raised his big gun— Poof! There he lay, dead, the foolish young sinner! —Little Corporal. Funny Sayinc* and Doing* of t'liildren. One day Harry came limping into the house, and, on being asked what ! was the matter, said, 'Oh, I've dot the headache in my bid toe !' A very little girl, when her father had been killing pigs, wanted him to | bury them in the ground, so that they might go to heaven. 'Xow my little boys and girls,' said a teacher, 'I want you to be very still that you cun hear u pin drop.' For a minute all was still, and a little boy 1 shrieked, 'Let her drop!' 'Mamma,' said a promising youth of (four or five summers, 'if all people are made of dust, ain't colored made of ! coal dust V 'I hope, my little daughter,' said a mother one day, 'that you will be ab'e to control your little temper to da}'.' •Yes, mamma, and I hope you will be able to control your BIG temper.' The other day a friend, wishing to teach little Susie a hymn, told her to repeat the first line; *1 want to be an angel,' when she looked up and said with animation, 'No I don't; I want to be a soldier !' A little boy, whose mothor had i promised him a present, was saying I his prayers before going to bed, but his mind running on a horse, he began as follows:—'Our Father who art in heaven —ma, won't you buy me a horse j —thy kingdom come—with a spring ! to it?' Ono day Eddie asked,' Mamma, did God make pussy?' 'Yes,' said his | mother, 'but go and bring me some I wood!' He started off a few steps, land then coming back and looking through the half open door, asked in a hesitating voice— 'll —h—how did he let her d—d—down ?' A little boy who had been taught that every good thing comes from God, and that prayer was the means |by which it was to be obtained, was ■ heard one summer's day, in great earn estness, with eyes fixed on the clear bluo sky above him pleading thus: 'Dood man !

How One .Han Celebrated tlae 'Fourth.' There is a patriotic person in New Jersey, who celebrates the Fourth of July by himself.

He plays with j facility upon tho musical instruments j named below, writes his own toasts, ; drinks the best wh—atcr, fires his own : powder, and writes out for publication the report of his proceedings in a full, round hand.

LEWISTOWN, MIFFLIN COUNTY, PA- A Cliicagu Ut ile Smitten with a Japanese Performer. While the Japanese were performing in Chicago, there was a beautiful girl of eighteen summers, the daughter of u merchant, who seems to have become completely infatuated, and to have captivated the heart of one of the Jap anese, who has the name of Sing-Kee Chee. His father was a nobleman at tached to the court of the Tycoon. He loved and married a girl in the lower class, very pretty, very good, but not high blooded. The Tycoon learned of it and his indignation was great. There was but one way to make reparation—to commit hari kari—in plain English, to disembowel himself. The nobleman died, his property going to the Tycoon. His wife, disowned, joineJ a company of acrobats. Years after, this company was performing before the Tycoon. In the bamboo act, which is his favorite, the Ty coon was much struck with the daring of the boy. Upon inquiry he learned that the boy was tbe sen of his once favorite minister and friend, and had high blood in his veins He took the boy from the company and trained and educated him. This boy grew up about the court, and was none other! than Sing Kee-Chee, which in Japan ese means the son of a nobleman who had offended the Tycoon. Sing Ivee-Chee is obstinate and de termined. lie has written to the Ty coon a full account of the matter. At present, two anxious hearts await his; decision. Sing Kee-Chee knows very ; well that if consent is not given his; fate is sealed; for with the refusal would come a notice that by the ask ing of such a favor he had offended be yond redemption, and only the com mittal of hari Lari would wipe out the insult. At Detroit, Sing-Kee-Chee was sur prised agttin to meet the lady, who found tho world a blank desert after her heart had become another's, and there he first began to discover tho se cret. The company told him to be ware— that he should take a lesson from tho fate of his father, who had loved without tho consent of the Ty coon, and if lie persisted, his father's fate would he his. Sing-Kee Chee did remember this, and tried to banish her from his heart, but it was a useless task. Tho more he tried the deeper he loved, and before the company left De troit, ho made tho romantic maiden's heart happy by declaring that he loved her, and if the Tycoon's cojisent could be gained by the strongest entreaties he should make her his wife; and with this assurance the maiden returned to her parents in Chicago, who are stri ving by every means in their power to eradicate the notion from her head. A Horrible Disaster. The columns of the European Ger man papers are filled with tho partic ulars of tho greatest disaster that ever desolated any mining district. On the first of July last the wooden frame-work of a 1,500 feet deep pit cf a coal mine in the neighborhood of Lugan, in Saxony, gave way, blocking up, with an impenetrable mass of tim ber and rock, the pit at a depth of about 305 ells from the top. At the moment of the disaster 102 men, near ly all of them the supporters of large families, were working in the bottom of the mine. Their provisions were calculated for one day. On the sth of July, the date of our latest news by mail, tho place where the fallen masses had stopped the pit was such a solid structure that the water was standing 1 on it many l'eet high. From all sides tho most available help was offered,; but the conviction that nothing could' be done soon enough to save tho un I fortunate miners, weakened as it seems! any energetic effort. j J They were doomed to die of stnrva-i tion and want of fresh air. On the M 4th of July all attempts to reach the 1 bottom of tbe mine by any quick pro !' cess were abandoned, and a slow but;' sure plan was devised by which at i least the corpses of the perished could ' be extracted. Iron tubes of about two 1 feet in diameter were to be sunk through , 1 tho obstructions to the bottom of the pit. Among the dead are forty-fouri married men, one of whom had a wife! and nine living children. The scones at tho entrance of the pit are described as lamentable without a parallel. One hundred and thirty-seven children filled the air with their woful cries, whilst : the superintendent of tho mines, to I whose neglig' nee the disaster was as cribed by the people, could only be saved from being mobbed by his sud den imprisonment. A Remarkable Escape. We have not heard anything for a long time more surprising than tho fol lowing facts, communicated to us by Mr. Landis Berry, who resides on tho hill a few doors beyond the toll gate at Lock Haven. Mary Birch, a little girl nine or ten years old, daughter ol Moses Birch, living noar Mr. Borry's, has been in the habit of going to his well to draw water for her mother. On Monday last she went to the well as usual, and while stooping over tho curb in the act of filling her vessel with water from the bucket, she lost her balance and fell headlong into tho well. Mr. Berry and family were at dinner, and hearing tho windlass revolving Vol. 57, No. 33. 1 with unusual velocity, they wont out and found the little girl at the bottom r of the well alive and sensible, strug -1 gling to keep herself from drowning. ' By means of the bucket, ropo ami ' j windlass, they soon restored her to ; terra lirma, when it was found that she had sustained no injury except a slight cut over the right eye, and a tri fling wound on tho top of the head. The well is twenty-eight feet deep, with eight feet of water in it, ii walled i with stone, and has a diameter of only three feet. How the little thing could 1 1 escape dashing her brains out in tho fearful descent, or being drowned in a ' depth of water twice her length, is al together astonishing and inexplicable, j Lock Haven Republican. A Fearful Incident. A woman whose name we have for gottou, lies, or lately did lie, very sick at Hemlock, Cambria county. A few day 6 in the daytime, the watch ers returning to tho room after a tem porary absence, were horrified to find a huge snake coiled on the pillow of the sick woman, and very near tho head. The woman was asleep. What to do was a question of terrible import recommended to the watchers. Tho woman was weak from illness, and any sudden excitement would surely kill her. It was therefore unsafe to attack the snake while she was asleep, because an excitement would thereby be communicated to the system which might prove fatal; while, for alike reason, it was thought equally unsafe to .wake her up to a realization of tho danger menacing her. The question, in all its terrible bearings, was discue sed by the watchers in a moment, while their blood ran cold, and it was decided to maintain, like McClellan before Manassas, a masterly inactivity. If the woman remained asleep and motionless, Bhe might escapo. There was a chance that the ropfilo might withdraw without doing any harm. After a few minutes, which seemed like hours to the lookers-on, the slimy ■ thing moved—first ooe fold, then an other—it slid from the bed to the floor —it crawled rapidly through the room and hall, and out into tho garden, where it was killed. Tho woman slept calmly throughout the trying scene, and was spared an experience the mere recital whereof is enough to blanch the cheek and cause tho blood to cur dle.—Ebensburg Alleghenian. Foolhardy Trick played by Hoys. The Terrible Result. —Three brothers, ; tho eldest of whom is not over twelve years old, living near Harmon's Sta i|tion, on the Cincinnati and Indianap olis Railroad, have been in the habit , of lying between the ties of the road and incurring the terrible risk of hav ing a train pass over them at full speed. They repeated this recently, at a sad : cost, with the passenger train run by Conductor George Drain. This train, out from Cincinnati, was running along at the usual speed, when the engineer {happened to discover three little hu man forms curled up in holes between the tics, just as the engine w as within a few yards of them. There was no I chance to stop the train until it had passed over them, and then proceeded some distance further. The officers | of the train then returned to the spot and found the three children terribly bruised. All had broken limbs, and ouo of them had his head mashed in such a terrible manner as to make his recovery a matter of doubt. It seems that in selecting their nests they had not calculated correctly as to depth, and that the brake-box had caught them. They are children of Mr. John | Bouse. I®.Among tho many new appli cations of electro-magnetism to tho arts and manufactures is that of mak ing it instrumental in tho smelting of iron. A fixed electro magnet is placed opposite an opening in the side of the furnace, containing the metal to bo smelted, and a current of magnetism is directed into the molten metal. The effect on the iron is said to be very re markable,rendering it extremely tough and hard. Tho process is carried on with great success at one of the most important iron works in Sheffield.
