ittirOn Friday morning a week, in
Philadelphia, the eastern wall of a lager
beer brewery, Thirty-first 'and Jefferson
street, suddenly gave way and fell into
ruins. It buried a number of workmen,
some of whom were killed. The building
was over 100 feet- long by 40 wide and
three stories high. Spacious vaults were
constructed under the 'eastern end. In
the upper part of the brewery were' im
mense vats, in which the beer was placed
for cooling. When the Acp.j4eni, occurred
there ' was beer enough. in the vats to fill
about 3,000 kegs. There was about 40
men , employed in the brewery. In the
second story of the east end used as an
ice house, were stored many tons of ice,
and the theory is that the fire at pressure
against the wall,. not yet firmly set, cgs.
ed it to bulge ouwtard and the superstruc
ture fell into ruins.
Twenty men were busy storing away
ice, and these were involved in the ruins.
Besides being buried or partly buried in
ice, where they might soon freeze to death,
the vats-above were emptied on top of
the doomed men. It was estimated that
ten thousand gallons of beer were poured
out .upon • the ruins. Police officers were
soon there, and the operatives from con
tiguous breweries and citizens of the neigh
borhood hastened to render any assistance
in their power to resecue the poor men
wedged in I,lle pile of ruins. Eleven dead
bodies were taken from the ruins and six
badly , hurt, the others escaping with being
slightly bruised.

700 and the Allegany 20,000, making
upwards of 50,000 in the aggregate. The
average price realized was 17 cents, and
the sum total $8,500, paid ont by three

as the "Tepe-worm". road is a room which
is continually filled with smoke, so dense
that it is impossible to see the ceiling.—
Since the exit of the last tenant three

SEXUAL SCIENCE—AU anonomous se4b

favorably the work entitled "Sexual Sci
eace," by Prof. 0. S. Fowler, fur the sale
of which D. D. Fahrney is agent in this
place. It is styled nn unchaste, nefarious
work, etc., and altogether unworthy a
place in any family. We have not the
communication at hand, but this is the
import of the writer's meaning. Although
we have net, bad an opportunity to criti
cally examine the work, we know gentle
men of the best standing, religiously, mor.
rally, intellectually, who have, and who
express just the. opposite view of its con
tents,butperhaps they are not so overly fas
tidious as to what constitutes "pure litera
ture" as ciA Friend of Morality." What
seems singular too, is that nobody else, so
far Re our knowledge goes, has made the
the same discovery, that it is an unchaste
and immoral work.

Poon Gms,--TThe poorest girls in the
world are those tylio have never been
brought up to work. Rich parents have
petted them, they have been taught to des
pise labor, and to depend upon others for
a living, and are perfectly helpless. If
misfortune comes upon their friends, as it
often does, their case is hopeless. The
most forlorn and miserable women on
earth belong to this class. It belongs to
parents to protect their daughters from
this deplorable condition. They do them
great wrong, if they neglect it. Every
daughter should be Wight to earn her
own living. The rich gs well as the poor
require this training. The wheel of for
tune rolls swiftly round—the rich. Skill
to labor is no disadvantage to the rich,
and is indispensable to the poor. Well
to-do parents must educate their daugh
ters to work ; no reform is more impera
tive than this.

RUSSIAN Mmtwo:err. Ennags-
VON.—We have already, upon several oc
casions noted the inoyement,which it be

reeiding in Emile, to ernniigrate to this
country, lin' acuount of a law having been
recently passed by the: Russian Govern
ment, requiring them to give up their non
resistant principles arid forcing them into
the military service. These fennonites
are mostly farmers, and in general are in
good circumstances, but it seems they have
difficult) , in disposing of their property,
and hence many are rendered quite poor.
The Mennonite Society in this country, to
aid their oppressed 'brethren have there
fore organized a Board of Guardians,
whose duty it is to seek to furnish means
to help those who may need' aid to get to
this - cortutir, w.bere. they can enjoy full
religious freedorri, without being molested
by governmental authority. This Board
of Guardians have issued a call which sets
forth the reasons why help is asked for,
and all who .can render any assistance,
either by gift or loan (a loan is preferred
to a gift by the emigrants, as they are de
sirous of paying back again as soon as they
are able whatever may be advanced to aid
them,) are urged to do so at once, as 1,000
families propose coming early this spring
and many others are anxious to follow as
soon as they are able. John P, Funk, at
Elkhart, •„ 111. is Treasurer of the Board,
and will acknowledge the receipt of all
monies given to this aid, either as , a free
gift or loan.

Hundreds of guests had called, and
scores • Were calling to say their good-bye
to Governor Noyes. Among
_those who
entered thephamber, however, was an old
man, thin, wrinkled, pale, and gray-hair
ed, and much bent by age and manifest
suffering. He timidly asked to see the
Governor, who stepped aside to a window
with him. The old4an 'said he would
have called before, but had been sick.—
He came at that late hour to make an
appeal for the pardon of an erring son
who had been confined in the Penitentia
ry for seven years, and who had three
more to serve.
"What is the name of your son ?" ask
ed the Governor. The old man gave it.
Governor Noyes them, without making
him any definite reply,irequested him to
step into his private room and wait till
he was at leisure. The fact was, the par
don pita beep granted early that morning,
and the old mans daughter had already,
gone to carry the pardon t 8 her brother
and accompany him from the Penitentia

sister, neither expecting to find the other
there, and the father not dreaming that
the pardon had alrerdy beep granted.—
One can rea4ily imagine the scene as the~
Gevernor conducted the two to his pri
vate room. The son flew to his father
and embraced him, and then, flinging his
arms around the Governor's neck,' cover
ed his face with kisses. The old man,
overcome by the great happiness of the
moment, sank into his chair sobbing like
a child.
There were no dry eyes in that room,
and those who, a few minutes later, were
talking and chatting with the retiring
Governor iu the reception room, little im
agined in whata touchingly pathetic scene
he had been a participant. The libera
ted man has a wife, and child eight years
old, a sister, and aged parents. It will
be a pleasat reflection during his lifetime
to General Noyes that it was Ate of, the
last acts of hii executive power to fill one
household with the sunshine of happiness,
and restore the beloved one long separa
ted from them, who had fearfully condol
ed for his crime.
.The MAN WHO CAN BE SPABED.—
When trade becomes dull, and but little
work is in the factory and not much pros
pect of more coming, employers ask them
selves. Who can be most easily spared ?
One or more men must be discharged,
and those most easily spared are the ones
marked for a discharge, in the , knowkilge
that those most easily spared are the very
men who can be most easily replaced.
The men we are most loth to discharge in
dull times are those who have been long
in our employ, who bave always been at
tentive to our interests by a faithful dis•
charge of duty, and toward whom we have
learned, from long association, to enter
tain a feeling of interest and friendship.
Such men will be retained under any and
all circumstances, while the shiftless, eye
serving, afraid-of doing-too- much class
will be fshipped' at the first opportunity ,
they can be spared. The same result ex
tends to all branches of trade, and he
who would succeed in the battle of life
must make himself master of his business.
Young men remember that the men
who can be easily speared are not the
ones sought after when nisponsibl9 posi•

Tin FAmum:ix famine
in Bengal has not reached` its , crises, but
there is strong hope that tbe suffering will
not be so great as was ;anticipated. The
failpre , of thn last year's eiops and the
want of fain to mature those that are now
in the ground, awakened strong appre
hensions that there would be immense suf
fering and great loss of life. A famine
in the densely populated districts' of In

fearful destruction of life, the people. dy

country, and with the increased fseilities
of communication and transportation,,
such extensive cahmiities can scarcely oc

There has,been a slight improvement.
in the crops, owing to timely, though in .
sufficient rains; and - tbe home Govern
ment and the Anglo-Indian Government
are co-operating to mitigate, if they can
not wholly prevent, the calamity. Or
ders have been issued for the immediate
commencement of relief works on the
most extensive scale; it being "the wish
of the Government of India,", to_ quote
from • their published resolution, "that.
work shall be everywhere offered to the
population as soon as the grant of relief

PAVED ItoAns.—Parson Lafferty of the
Lexingtim, Va., Gazette, discourseth . as
follows on the subject of good roads : "It
seems difficult to make, some understand
that it saves money to spend it on roads-
OVer a paved, pike two horses tire equal
to four on our mud roads: Every farmer
saves the feed of two horses. Then time -
is saved and worry. Who can "resist the
devil" when a wagon mires and there is
no 'one near to help him out or—hear him
cuss ? Mentaled roads are great moral a
gencies. Paving a pike does more good
turpre - achirtg, sometimes. Breaking rook
for our roads will soften more wagoners'
hearts than all the pounding of pulpits
for a year. Thg MoAdamizer is a Mis
sionary."
