ST. GEOBGE AND THE DB&GON.
AN ANCIENT MYTH MODERNIZED,
What, weeping, weeping, my little son,
Angry tears, like that great commander.
Alexander—
Because of dragons is left not one
To be a new Cappadocia’s scourge
For your bold slaying,
Without delaying—
On Shetland pony
So bright and bonny
A knight all mounted—a young St. George?
Come, sit at my feet, my little son,
Sit at my feet, and mend your wagon!
Full many a dragon
“You'll have to fight with, ere life be done.
Stay—and I’ll tell you of three or four
(Villanous cattle) •-
You’ll have to battle,
When mother’s sleeping
Where all your weeping
W ill not awaken her any more.
-First comes a creature whose name is Sloth,
Books like a lizard, creeping on sleekly,
Simple and weakly,
Who couldn’t harm you, however wroth.
But slay him, my lad, or he'll slay you;
Crawling and winding,
Twisting and binding,
Break from him, tramp on him,
And as you stamp on him,
You’ll be St. George and the Dragon anew.
Then there’s a monster, most fair at first,
Called Ease, or Comfort, or harmless
Pleasure;
Born of Smooth Leisure,
On scented cushions luxurious nursed.
Who’ll buy your soul, if you’ll sfell it, just
To catch one minute
Withjoyanceinit,
Or ward off sorrow
Until to-morrow.
Trample him—trample him into dust 1
And one, a reptile, yolept false Shame,
Who silently drags its fettered length on,
And tries its strength on
Many a spirit else pure from blame,
But up and at it your courser urge!
Smite, smite, I trow, hard,
The moral coward,
By throne or altar,
And never falter,
And be my own son—my brave St. George!
-St. George and the Dragon! ah, my boy,
There are many old dragons left—world
scourges—
And few Bt. Georges!
There’s mickle labor, and little joy!
But on with you—on to the endless fight!
Your sword tight buckling,
To no man truckling,
Bear your bright flag on,
And slay your dragon.
St. George forever! God shield the right'

-JEXPT.OSIOM AT THE ASCOBIA GAS
WOBKS.
The Buildings Completely Destroyed-
Bo Elves lost.
At 11 o’clock on Friday morningjthe vill
age of Astoria was startled from its usual
-quiet by a sudden explosion which shook
every building in the town, and for a short
time created no small alarm among the res
idents. The sound was not unlike that 00-casioned
-casioned by the discharge of a heavy colum
biad, and gave rise to a variety of rumors
as to its cause. It was heard with great dis
tinctness on the New York side of the river
by.residents in thevicinity of Ninety-second
street, and wanby them- supposed to-pro
ceed from the large kerosene oil works lo
cated immediately opposite that section of
the city.
Great consternation was created in the
public school in Astoria, the scholars and
teachers all leaving the school building in
haste, in consequence of the severe shook
which it sustained. The school-house is
situated not very far from the scene of the
explosion. Instead of the kerosene oil
works, however, it was soon ascertained
that, the explosion came from the gas house
of the town, which is situated at the foot of
Franklin street, and distant from the
street ferry about four hun
dred yards. The cause of it was the ig
nition of gas, which had by some means
escaped from the “purifier,” and com
pletely surcharged the purifying room;
hut how this escaped gas became ignited
as a mystery. The purifving room was
looated in the rear end* of the build
ing, furthest from Franklin street, and the
rear wall was forced completely outward,
and fell to the ground a heap of crumbled
bricks and mortar. The explosion seems to
have also expended a good part of its force
on the side walks and on the roof. Of the
former but little is left standing, while the
latter was completely carried away. Bricks
■and broken timber were thrown into the air
to a considerable height, and came down to
the ground in a perfect Bhower, the debris
being scattered around in all directions.
Fortunately no person was injured by
this accident. There was no one in or
-very near the building at the time of
the explosion, as, the works be
ing small, but few persons are
employed in them, and during the morning
no necessity exists for their being at work.
The machinery of the works, except the
purifier which exploded, is but slightly
damaged, l and, were it not for the intense
frigidity of the weather, gas manufacture
«xrald be immediately resumed. The build
ing, however, is a complete wreck, and will
have to be erected anew, as the portions of
the front and side, walls left. standing have
been too severely shaken to admit of being
further built upon. The purifying room
-was 40 by 20 feet in size and the entire struc
ture was about 70 feet long by 35 feet wide.
-It was—as are all buildings used in the
manufacture of, gas—only one story in
height. The damage done by the explosion
is estimated at about $2,000, There was no
insurance on the property.- The works
■were owned by Stephen A. Halsey & Son,
■of Astoria. Temporary buildings Will be
at once erected, and it is contemplated to re
sume the work within a week at farthest.
•The town of Astoria has enjoy ed the conve
mience of gas light for about thirteen years,
the building destroyed yesterday having
been erected about that time. The works
-came into the possession of the present
owners about six years since, they having
purchased them from the corporation which
originally erected them. Notwithstanding
the explosion there was fortunately gas suffi
cient in the reservoir, or “holder,” as it is
technically called, to supply the consumers
until about half-past nine o’clock last even
ing, after which time they necessarily had
■to resort to the more primitive mode of
lamps and candles, in order to dissipate the
semi-darkness, the moonlight preventing
total gloom. Mr. John Clarke, snperin
tendent of the works, had a narrow escape
from injury when the explosion occurred.
He Was at that time on his way to the build
ing, and had arrived within thirty yards of
-the main entrance when he heard the report
and noticed the wall bulging outward. He
immediately retraced his steps and escaped
without being hurt by any of the falling
debris.

These wheels are designed for Pianos, Bedsteads, &c
we claim that they give to Pianos a greatly Increases
force of sound, without detracting from the harmon*
anfi melody of the lnstrnment, rendering every note
more distinct to the ear. This is so apparent that thee
are now being applied by many to there valuable mu
sical Instruments. Dr. Valentine Mott, previous to hii
death, pronoanced the Glass Castor Wheels an to
valuable Invention, for bedfast invalids, wba art
guarded agatostthe damp poors after undergoing thr
process of cleaning, or where dampness Is producer
atom any other cause. Aside ftom this. Housekeeper!
are.relieved from the dread ofhavtag tholr carpetacn:
or torn, as frequently happens fromthose now to nse
often caused by a rust, which adheres wlth-glne-llkt
tenacity. No such annoyance can possibly proceed
froni the Glass Castor Wheels, as we all know thal
£lass is non-corrosive. There are no rough or unfin
ished edges to the Glass Wheels snoh as we often find
Id these of Iron, and the latter, though smoothly fin
Ished, will soon rust, from the dampness of theatmos
phere, if nothing else, prodaclng ronghness on the sur
face, or edge, while the former will always maintain
the smoothll633 of glass, Just, as they are finished. •
By sleeping upon glass wheels yon retain all the eleo
tridty yen had in yonr body on retiring, and yon gel
np in the morning feeling as fresh and active re »
young man. Glass being a non-conductor, the eleo
trinity gained while in bed cannot pass off. Ask your
doctor what he thinks of the Glass Castor Wheels
Ask him If all diseases, with the exception of chronk
diseases, axe not caused from the want of electricity ;
We .have a man to our place whom the doctors pro
nounced past curing, with the inflammatory rheu
matism. The wheels cured him .to less than font
weeks. He lsto-day a stout healthy man. These are
feels which can be proven on application at our office
